taken the shoes and left Ms old ones for

his shoes was not aware but that the
owner had them.

practical sermon exemplifying in touch
iug phrase, the toils, the aire, aud the
struggles man had to undergo, and the
efforts he must make to .overcome the
snares that beset his path iu this life, in
order to inherit denial life. It w;;
constant struggle from the cradle to the

and putting all his dependence in Him,
would come off conqueror, and enjoy
happiness iu the future world.

THE FIRST TO HANG.
Justice in Oregon In Good Old Pioneer
Days.
Tho first whito man executed for mur
der in Oregon, to tho best of our recol
lection, was Adam . Womplo, who was
tried, convicted, eontenccd and hung for
tho murder ol his wlfo iu 1S5I. Wemplo
crcsBod tho plains iu 1815, wont to tho
gold mines in California iu tho spring of
1810, and roturnod to Oregon in tho fall
of tho samo yoar, bringing with him a
pretty good sum of "gold. Shortly after
his rotum to Oregon ho married and Bot
tled in what is now called "Cooper Hol
low" in Polk county. After a few
months of marriod life ho manifested
Bymptoms of jealousy, and from that or
Bomo other unknown cause ho murdered
his wifo, fastened tho body securely in
tho house, sot firo to it, and mounting
what ho thought to bo tho best marc in
Oregon attuo timo, he attempted to
make his escape It was thought ho
would nover bo overtaken, but in two or
three days his mare came back, and a
party started in the direction from
whonco the maro came.
Tho party had not ridden far into tho
mountains before they found Wemplo
coming in to gtvo lumBell up. An ac
cusing conscience and want of food had
broucht him to tho conclusion to sur
render himself to the legal authorities.
He was tried, coudemued, and executed,
but had the insanity plea been entered
in his behalf as it is in these latter
days tho lesult might have been dif
ferent. We bad known him intimately
from the time of his starting to Oregon
until tho sentence of death was pro
nounced agninit him. He was pecu
liarly eccentric in his character, and in
conversation with friends, wo frequently
alluded to him as that "crazy Wemple."
We could give many instances of his
eccentricities which would lead most
anv man to believe that Wemple was
"soft in the upper story." We know
him at one timo to walk 70 miles to
Oregon City to buy a tin cup and 50
cents worth ut sugar, when ho was ol-
fnred a good horse to ride, he declining
tho offer for the reason that tho horse
would bo loo much trouble to him. Wo
knew him sometime: to go without food
for 30 hours, eating fir balsam rather
than walk one mile to our houso to get
his meals. S.
The Eddy Case.
Salem, Aug. 10. Attorney Drake has
been in Salem today in consultation with
his client, Secretary ICincaid, relative to
the decision of the supremo court on the
question of hold over commissioners, anil
it may be that a rehearing will yot be
asked before drawing warrants for tho
railroad commissioners. .Mr. uralco is
tenacious on the point he has raised,
that the election of all state officers is a
prcrega'ive belonging to tho eoplc, and
he would like an opiniou independent of
concurreut legislative exposition of the
constitution. The secretary relics more
ou the fact that tho commissioners
failed to file an oath ol ollico or renew
their bonds. The advisability of asking
for a rehearing has been left with Mr,
Drake.
His Peculiar Death.
Mcuiono, Or., Aim. 10. B. Simpsou
was pushed from a sidewalk here this
afternoon and his neck broken. He had
been having some trouble during the
afternoon with W. M. Gainey, but noth

AUer liauiey iiau trotie iiouic, ciiupson
mistook William Crane for Gainey and
came at him with a board. Crauc, in
his own defense, pushed Simpson back
wards aud the latter fell from the walk
to the Btreet, a distance of about two feet,
resulting as above stated.
Situ5on had been a resident of this
county since 1S32, and was about CO
years old. No blame is attached to
Crauc.
Silver Dollars go Begging.
It is stated that there are 50,00,0i0,
standard silver dollars stored in tho mint
at Philadelphia. They are piled upthcro
because tho people do not want them,
preferring bills. Every one of them is
worth 103 cents, because the govcrmeut
is pledged to maintain their parity with
gold, which it would not bo with afrec
coinago 10-to-l act in force. If the
people will not take silver dollars known
to be good for their face value, what
reason is mere tor minKing tuey are
hungering and thirsting for 50-ceut
coins.
