We are always glad to receive the
Plaixdealer. We notice by the edito
rials of certain papers that they think
the editor of the Plaixdealer is a very
plain dealer, too. That is right brother
Brookes, give it to them right fioni the
frying pan. All is not lost while
we have a single newspaper that is free.
Given a free press we may defy the
insidious enemies of liberty. It in
structs the public mind and animates
the spirit of patriotism. Its loud voice
suppresses everything that would raise
itself against the public liberty, and its
blasting rebuke causes incipient des
potism to perish in the bud.

Hills bubo, Or., Sept. 2. Rev. R. H.
Kennedy, the Congressional minister of
this place, was arrested todiy on the
charge of burglary. The arrest has caused
great consternation, as it is suspected
that 'the minister of the gospel is guilty
of robbing the residence of E. H. War
ren at an early hour Monday morning,
when some one broke into the house and
tried to chloroform the occupants in
their sleep.
Rev. Kennedy was placed under ar
rest on suspicion, the women who were
disturbed by the intruder alleging to
have recognized the voice of the burglar
as the voice which often had poured
forth moral lessons from the pulpit.
Rev. Kennedy is highly educated and
respected and stands high in society.
He is a man of family and, though pos
sessed of rare ability, has met with many
reverses, and the only excuse suggested
in his behalf is that his misfortunes
have made him desperate. His calling
in life makes the matter even a greater
surprise. During his operations he
several times forgot himself and failed
to change his voice and use expressions
familiar to those victimized.

New Folder Map of Oregon.
The Southern Pacific Company has
just issued a new folder map of Oregon
which is complete in detail and np to
date, both as to the data given in the
map and descriptive of the state. It
shows all the latest railroads in and
tributary to the state, including the
Columbia River & Northern from Lyle
to Goldendale, Wash., and the Salem,
Falls City & Western, which has been
constructed from Dallas to Falls City
and is to be extended eastward to Salem.
It also shows the Crater Lake National
Park. The reading matter -is complete
but concise, and is so conservative that
the homeseefcers will find on investiga
tion that it rather under than overstates
the facts. A general description of the
state is followed by chapters on climate,
transportation, education, agriculture,
the Willamette Valley, the Umpqua
Valley, the Rogue River Valley, dairy
ing, horticulture, stockraising, lumber,
manufacturing, gold mining. It also
gives the latest report of the Commis
sioner of Public Lands on the public
land of Oregon and the latest statistics
of the state.

now Is 1 cents. A number of his pa
trons claim they are getting 51 per
month more per cow with the use of
the hand separator. The hand sep
