HC AiiVaaB Vk viaam TRIP THROUGH WESTERN OREGON Dunsmuir News Man's Impressions of State VISITED ROSEBUM AND VICINITY And Rubbered at the Soubrettes in Portland's Vaudeville Theatres During a recent trip by the News man through western Oregon along the Southern Pacific much was Been of in terest. In December, 1884, a round trip was made I y the same person lrom Portland to ) i a end of the line, a short distance mmh of Roseburg, there being a strip of country .somewhere between Dunsmuir und thetooint just mentioned awaiting the laying of rails to complete theRreat stretch 6f railroad between San, Frar.cisco and Portland. Whih- there had been settlements along tl - section since the early forties, the tlj was scarcely known until develo;-d by the railroads. Roseburg waethoi-l .t.-p made by the writer, his obj itive p at being the home of Simon il. Lane, where he was to 1 e the guest of this pioneer acd his admirable wife at their comfortable residence in the county seat town of old Douglas. Mr. Lane is a son of the late General Joseph Lane, ho in the beginning of the war with Mexico was appointed a Colonel from Indiana, and soon after getting into active service on the field was promoted to Brigadier General. He fought through the war coming out with honors and soon went to western Oregon and settled in what is now Douglas county. He was made the first terri torial governor of the "webfoot" state, and helped make history. He was nom inated on one wing of the democratic party in 1860 for vice president of the United States on the ticket with Breck inridge of Kentucky. The general was a power in tae politics of the west. He took up government land a few miles from what is now the flourishing city of Roseburg. which property has since been held in his immediate family going from father to son till it is now the property of the general's grandson, Robert, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. S.

While the country roads were bad enough, (there are worse,) they were in a measure better than the streets of Bosehurg. which was some consolation. Through Friend Lane several repre sentative people of the town were met : among whom were the editors of the Daily Beview and the Plaindealer, the latter a flourishing semi-weekly news paper; the post master and the sheriff. lawyer Dexter Bice, a young attorney, who married a daughter of judge Auten rieth of Sisson ; Senator Co-how, who was the only prominent democrat elect ed in Touclas county.

There was nothing specially noticea ble along the route except plenty of cloudy weather and rain. Portland was reached on usual schedule time, and af ter locating in desirable quarters, a stroll on the streets was taken which led to a playh use. Bight hen- it i--well to say that Portland has more )t' i shows at a cheap price than any place yet visited. Think of entertainment at a decent theater by paying only a dime and selecting any seat without extra pay! You have the choice of any seat not already taken from the gallery to the parquet, rear or front row. The shows, invariably vaudeville, begin at 2:30 in the afternoon and give three en tertainments; then at 7:30 to 11:30 in the evening ith four performances of one hour each. If you are not satisfied and care to see a repetition you are not molested b t can remain as long as you care; or you may go to another, and hile away an hour pleasantly for ten cvrts, there being four similar theatres in town all going at the same time Tnere is hardly any difference in qualitv if any the last one seems the best. But what strike; a visitor nvwt forcibly and sgreeaoly is the well behaved conduct of those who attend, though there is no p-v lice to enforce order. Everybody seems to behave himself and herself without being told or forced to do so. Strict at tention is paid to the actors on the stage, and in case a patron should not be pleased there is no objection to one orderly leaving ; but nothing of that oc- -curs, because one is so well entertained there is no occasion to depart till the series close. As soon as that is over the house clears itself quietly and is imme diately refilled. One can enjoy these entertainments because there is no whispering or muffled talking by any of the audience to disturb actor or listener, no hiEsing nor caterwauling sodeafening and disagreeable as in other town show bouses. 1 he applause hile enthusias tic ie not dore by stamping the feet, neither shrill whistling and savage yells, but generally by hearty laughing aud hand clapping.

The largest sale of wheat by a single firm, ever made in Whitman County, has just been made by Lillis F. Smith, the Wheat king," of the Palonse country. Mr. Smith has sold to the Northwestern Warehouse Company, of Portland, nearly 2.000 bushels of wheat for which he received a check for $45,364.30. The price paid wag 75 cents for bluestem and 73 cents for club. This wheat was the crop of Mr. Smith, grown on 1500 acres, and his share of the crop of his son, Leslie Smith, who had a portion of his father's farm rented. Mr. Smith and son had a total of 340 acres in wheat this year. Of this, 300 1 was on the land of Lillie F. Smith, and 400 acres was grown on land owned by the son. Leslie Smith sold hia crop earlier in the season. Drain Normal Notes. The liasketball 'earn defeated Cottage Grove Friday afternoon 31 to 0.

FINANCIAL CRISIS Fourteen Million Dollars In Bogus Assets-Great Financiers Involved Ci.KVEi.AM, Dec. 10. When the contents of the mysterious package of "securities" held for Mrs. Cassie L Chad Mc by Iri Reynolds in the Wade-Park Bank are revealed, it will be found that the signature of Andrew Carnegie has apparently been forged on notes and other papers to the total amount of $13,S50,000. The securities held by Reynolds, together with those held by the Citizens Xatienal liank of Oberlin, and have already been made public, aggregate this amount. The mysterious "securities" held by Reynolds in trust, concerning which there has been so much futile speculation during the past two weeks, consist of the following items: First, a note for the sum of $f),000,000 bearing the signature of An drew Carnegie. Second, a certificate of trusteeship which states that Andrew Car negie has in his possession stocks and bonds to the amount of $7,f00,000 held by him in trust for Mrs. Chadwick.

TWO VERY VALUABLE NEW INVENTIONS Patented By Two Ingenious Young Men of Douglas A Plaindealer representative has just had the pleasure of examining and wit nessing a most satisfactory test given two lately patented simple devices invented by two ingenious young men of this county. Both of these patents are de cidedly simple and practical and will surely become good sellers, and conse quently money makers for the invent ors. Spring Fork Attachment for Bicycles. The first device which, we consider of much merit, is the invention of Miles Mclniire, of Canyonville, Oregon, a cut of which we present, and is no leas than a simple, strong and practical au tomatic spring fork attachment for bi cycles. It is an attachment which can be quickly adjusted to any bicycle fork by means of which all the jar to the wrists and idioiildcrs is overcome and the bicycle glides along evenly as if on cushions. This spring fork has no dead ends and is therefore very sensitive and takes off all jar from the front wheel of the bicycle and is therefore just as indispen- sible to the bicycle rider as is the Coast er brake. It is a great invention and a boon to cyclists. Mr. Mclniire has suc ceeded in securing a contract with Port land manufacturers for the making of Kdmund W. Powers, attorney for Mrs. Chadwick. tieorge Kyall, Philip Carpenter and P. , II. Carver, attorneys for Mr. Newton. Butler. Joline, Nottmaa A Myn'derse, attorney for Andrew Carnegie.

These securities, supposed to represent i the vast amount of $12,500,000 have i been for ".he past three years the princi pal basis in which Mrs. Chadwick has conducted her financial system and on which she ha borrowed sums which it is conceded run op to the millions, and are positively known to exceed f 1,000, 000. County this spring fork which will be placed on sale in Roseburg and other supply hous es in Oregon and elsewhere in the early spring. Mr. Mclntire expects to be able to put this spring attachment on the market at about $4-00 each. It ia an invention which should net him a a neat fortune. Sugar Beet Poller and Topper . Another invention recently patented by William Hodson, the Roseburg ma chinist, has much merit and is one of the most simple, practical and useful devices, which haa come to notice recently. It is a beet puller and top per which consists of a spade like device with a knife attached at the top of the steel spade below which is a strap. The spade is placed down by the side of the beet in the ground and a little lever under the hand of t he operator at the top of the handle of the spade is mani pulated to one side, this motion cutting the top from the beet which is held firm ly by the strap which swings around with and just beiow the knife by which the beet is lifted from the ground and dropped aa soon as tbt little lever is re leased by the operator. The whole operation is performed at one swing of the little lever and spade and works practically automatically, and requires but the fraction of a minute to lift and top a beet. This ingenius invention should become a boon to the grower and harvester of sugar beets and will be found no doubt, to fill a long felt want in all of the sugar beet districts. Mr Hodson will soon endeavor to intro duce his new invention and make ar rangementa for its manufacture. It is a simple device which will be found in dispensible on any farm where root crops are gr jwn either for the table or stock. We predict that it will net Its inventor a remunerative royalty. AT HAND Faithful Guardian Duped Moreover, there is bitter irony in the fact that the very man who held this worthless paper so faithfully and tena ciously for Mrs. Chadwick, and who ap parently believed in its worth so implic itly, and through whom others were perhaps innocently drawn into the schemes of Mrs. Chadwick's operations, should himself be one of the heaviest losers. For Ira Reynolds, after his long course of faithful guardianship for the woman whom he trusted, now considers himself a dupe. It ie stated as a fact, not hitherto known, that Reynolds loaned Mrs. Chadwick practi cally all the money he possessed. His entanglements, however, involve only himself, the Wake-I ark Ranking Company being in no way affected. The note for $5,000,000 is believed by all who have knowledge of it to have been written and signed by the same person who filled out and signed the notes for $500,000 and $250,000 held by the Citizens' National Bank of Oberlin. aoac lar (.realtors. It is understood that the certificate of trusteeship states the securities held by Andrew Carnegie for Mrs. Chadwick consist of United States Steel bonds, Caledoncian Railway stock in Scotland, and some Western Railway stock in Kngland, the three aggregate, as above stated, $7,500,000. To put it briefly, the great Chadwick bubble haa burst. There Is no hope apparent. The foundation on which Mrs. Cbadwick'a creditors rested their expectations has sunk, and the Chad wick financial system, which has been tottering for the past two weeks, haa fallen. In leas help should arrive from some unforseen source, the creditors are helpless, and Mrs. Chadwick haa no re source. She must now face the storm that haa been steadily growing in in tensity. LECTURE BY BICKNELL YOUNG Accredited Member of the Official Board of Lectureship of the Christian Scientists Bicknell Young, C. S. R, the Christ ian Scientist Lecturer, delivered an ad dress at the opera house Monday even- ag, a fair aixed audience giving him close attention. The lecture was not so much for the instruction of Christian Scientists aa for the general enlightmnnt of the public, the desire being to place the subject before the people in a light that misconceptions relative thereto may be corrected. Mr. Young is an accredited member of the official board of lectureship of this denomination, and in this capacity dur ing the past three months has lectured in many of the principal cities from the state of Maine to the Pacific North west. MB. TOCKO BAIO IS PART. "Christian Science may be defined as the science of all that relates to God, and is science not only in relation to healing, but aa corrective in relation to all problems of existence. Accepted theories of religion and science have scoffed at the association of these words, but reason and logic show conclusively that science must relate to truth, and therefore to God, since God is the cause and basis of all that is true. "Christian Science does not proclaim a new God nor a new law, but comes declaring the same God, and the same law that Jesus declared, the one infinite eternal God, who ie good, and his good and unchangeable law. Christian Sci ence declare the omnipotence, omni science and omnipresence of God as do all other denominations, and upon that basis shows that evil has no power, knowledge or presence ; in other words, that it is unreal. Christian Science never ascribes evil to God or makes him in any way re sponsible for it, but shows that evil originates in a belief of material exist ence entirely apart from God, and un supported by science or Truth. 01 all people, Christian Scientists believe most absolutely in Christ. They accept the teachings of Christ Jesus without reservation. They declare that his command to heal the sick is as binding as that to preach the gospel, and that there Is no evidence that it was intend ed for bis time only. It was scientific religion that healed the sick in the time of Jesus and his disciples, and it does the same work now, and must always do it, since his life and work were an example for all time, and his method waa a universal and imperishable her itage of man. WHAT CHRISTUM SCIMCX at BANS. "The steps of salvation in Christian Science are not unusual. As in other denominations they involve the ad mis sum or conviction of sin, sorrow for wrongdoing, or repentance, and reform ation manifested in a corrected life Salvation in Christian Science, how ever, includes exemption from sickness, want and woe, as well aa from sin. It is not contingent upon death, bat is a way of life, a way of righteousness Christian science is founded upon the Bible. "The Christian Science text book, "Science and Health," with key to the scriptures, by Mary Baker G Eddy, is a commentary upon the Bible Other denominations have conimeu tariea, bat no other book in the world haa ever accomplished as much as this one. Thousands of people have teeti- neu tnat they have been healed, some of them of so-called incurable diseases, through the perusal of this book. In some instances this testimony haa been given in courta of law, and has not been in the least shaken by cross-examination. Many of these cases involved the most terrible diseases known to man kind, such aa cancer, tuberculosis, loco motor ataxia, and in other inUances such diseases as asthma, hay fever, St. Vitus' dance and others. "It is erroneous to suDnom that Christian Scientists deny the reality of things. They afl5rm the eternal exist ence of all things, and that they exist in the divine mind in their perfect indi viduality and proper order. Thev denv the materiality of things, including ail the discordant conditions that material things manifest. SOT OPPOSKD TO DOCTORS. "Christian Scientists are in no wise arrayed against those who believe in materia medica. They were all he- lievere in it themselves until they found Christian Science a more efficacious way of healing. This war thev believe to be the very best one, because it is uod s way, as shown in the works of Jesus. Although charitably disnoaed toward those who practice materia med ica, it is a well known fact that materia medica is merely an experimental sys tem. Surely after four thousand mn it ought to be beyond this staee. Furthermore, it is a self-confessed con dition of weakness that combinations of medical societies and the medical fra ternity generally should come before our legislatures demanding special legis lation, the tendency of which is almost invariably to abut out all other systems. Nor can any valid excuse be given, as far as Christian Science is concerned, on the ground of protection to the public, since Christian Scientists do not adver tise nor sanction quackery, and they believe in obeying the regulations of health boards in relation to contagious and other 1 HOW niSBUSB IS CURED. Those who believe that mentality plays some part in disease and its care generally look in the wrong direction, and say that the cores of Christian Science are effected by mental suggestion, hypnotism, will power, mental science, which is spurious and not related to Christian Science, or to some other er roneous or material belief. Christian Science, however, declares that it is God who heals diseases through Chris tian Science, and they of all people know beet.

She revealed the science by which men may begin to realise that freedom and enter upon their heritage of dominion over evil.

At the Smoot hearing this morning B. H. Wallis, a iormer Mormon, testified that he went to Salt Lake in 1893. He had three wives, bat only one at a time. Admit ted he waa four times married in the temple to dead women and was "sealed to his present wife for all time and eternity." At other times he stood as a substitute for dead men married to liv ing women, and had "been through the temple" at least twenty times, "taking the endowment" ceremony, which took two boon, and always preceded the marriage to either the hying or dead. The witness told of the oaths aaed in the ceremonies, and said the candidate swore that if he divulged secrets be would consent to have his "throat eat from ear to ear, and his tongue torn from its roots." The second oath waa that hia '-breast be cat asunder and his vitals torn oat." The third that "his body be torn asunder and his bowels gashed oat." Other oaths bound the participants to give all their substance to the church and to observe chastity.
