WHY
SHOULD THE GOVERNOR
ABUSE HIMSELF.
"Why should nnyouo abuse Governor
Chamberlain for insisting that the mem
bers of the legislature should not at
tempt other legislations if called togeth
er in special session, than to correct the
mistake of the last session in regard to
the tax law? Tho.-e members who claim
other measures which they hao up
their slecvos should be passed must have
a faint remombrance that they were un
able to pass them in a forty-day session.
Do they want to take advantage of a
ten-day rush f-ession to get pot meas
ures that had no chance of passage
when the niombers had time to examine
into their merits, passed into law? It
looks that wav."

The case of the State vs the 0. R.
& N. company on the docket at The
Dalles circuit court has been contin
ued to the February term. The suit
was for the right of way for the
Portage raliroad.
The above is taken from the Eu
gene Guard and the Plaindealek
asks:
Why should Governor Chamberlain
as a dictator and tyrant ask the
members of the Legislature to give a
rjledcre that thev will violate the
Constitutional Law of Oregon?
And again we ask the questionis not
Governor Chamberlain a politicalmont
bank or fool when he asks the mem
bers of the Legislature to set aside
the following constitutional law of
the State in order that ho may be a
demagogue?

framed in Ecvptian oxcavatu
since 1S94, at the general me t uig of
the Egypt exploration fund here, yes
terday gave the following details:
Vccompanied by Dr. Hunt, Dr.
Grenfel found a rich Ptoleniam ne-
croDolis at El Hibeh. The bulk of
i
the documents from the one mound
consisted of a collection of sayings of
Jesus. They are all introduc . with
the words, "Jesus saith," and for the
most part are new. The enU of the
lines, unfortunately, are oft eh obliter
ated. Apparently all the siyings
were addressed to St. Thorn:- One
of the most remarkablo is:
Let not him that seekcth cease
from his search until he finds, and
when he finds he shall wonder;
wondering he shall reach the king
dom, i. e., the Kingdom of Heaven,
and when he reaches the kingdom
he shall have rest."
Dr. Grenfel remarket! that enor
mous interest would bo also arouse:
by the discoveries on account of the
variations they disclosed from ac
cepted texts. One variant of the
mystical saying recorded in St. Luke,
"The kingdom of God is within you,'
was of great value, as the saying in
the papyrus appeared in quite differ
ent surroundings from those attri
buted to it by the evangelist and ex
tended far into another region.
According to Dr. Grenfel, these
sayings formed the new gospel which
is traditionally associated with St.
Thomas. An interesting variation of
the Gospel according to St. Luke,
11th chapter and 52d verso ("Woe
unto you, lawyers, for yo ha e taken
away the key of knowledge; e;
that were entering in yo hindered"),
reads in tho papyrus, "Yo havo hidden
the key of knowledge; yo entered not
yourselves and to them that were en
tering in yo did not open."
Another fragment contained a dis
course ol Uinst closely related to
passages of tho sermon on the Mount,
uul a conversation between Christ
. : i i - , .
and his disciples, in which chnst JUiy .B. fc. wuouy' or 01 BPeaKinK
answers a question as to when his
kingdom will be realized, sayinir:
When yo return to the state of in
nocence which existed before tho fall.
A valuable find was made in papyri,

The Pladtdealep. is actually sorry
for Governor Chamberlain and sorry
for the state of Oregon, that a man
in such an exalted position should for
a little political notoriety expose him

"There is a
Death,
And with his sickle keen
He reaps the beirded grain at a
breath,
And the flowers that grow be

His little form was laid into its last rest
ing place, by the side of two of his
grandparents, in tho Cleveland ceme
tery, on October S, 1903. At ono o'clock
the Rev. S. A. Douglas, of Roseburg,
conducted the funeral services. He
took for his theme, "Whv wo believe in
Christ, and the burial of Lazarus.'
"Jesus, Lover of my Soul," and "Near
er, my God, to Thee" were sung in the
church ; at the grave, "L Shall Know
Him," "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me," and
"No, Not One."
We cannot understand why Clarence,
so young, innocent and lightheartcd,
with such bright prospects for a useful
manhood, should bo stricken by death
in tho early Spring of life. The family
circle is broken; how often, oh, how
otten, will father and mother, brother,
sisters, an loving kindred sigh for "the
touch of a vanished hand, and the
sound of a voice that is still."

tear that is shed on his little mound,
some good is born, some gentler nature
comes. So, let us bow in submission to
God's mysterious ways, and say, "Thy

stand. Clarence Woodruff, who died so
early in life, will bo missed by a large
number of friends, both old and young,
for his sunny disposition endeared him
to many, but Death is no respecter of
persona, and ho was called to his eternal
home.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Pleasant to Take.
is
The finest quality of granulated loaf
sugar is used in the manufacture of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and the
roois usea in iw preparation give it a
flavor similar to maple svrup, raakinc it
quite pleasant to take. Mr. W. L. Rod
erick, of Poolesville, Md., in speaking of,
thia remedy says: "I have used Cham
berlain's Cough Remcdr with mv chil
dren for several years and can truthful
ly say it is the best preparations of the
kind I know of. The children like to
take it and it has no injurious after el

The Lillian Yorke concert, at Wilson's
opera house on Saturday night, was de
serving of a ranch larger attendance
than it received. The people of Med
ford have so long prided themselves on
the unanimity with which they stay
away from poor shows, that they get
puffed up occasionally and miss some
thing tliat ia really good. This they did
last Saturday night. Every person with
musical tendencies at all, who failed to
bo there, missed something. Miss
Yorko has a voice very seldom heard
outside of musical centers, and Mr.
Duesbury, as a violinist, is hard to beat.
The attendance was small very small
but tho program was carried through
without a skip. The probable reason
for the small attendance was the inclem
ent weather, which kept many away
who would otherwise have attended.
