"The churches are not practical, and do not reach the humble. It taken $150,000 a year to run the churches on the west side. There are some big churches, and many of them bava trained choirs which sing anthems for cash, and no man can understand a single word they say. The small churches on the east side are being absorbed by these big churches. The members care so much for show that they fail in their duty toward the fallen. Why do not these big churches vote a portion of the f 160, 000 they use every year to help nafor tunate girls, such at were arrested in the Paris bouse the other night? How much real good might be done if money was used in this way." He said he had recently heard a notes! evangelist preach, and that from all points of view what he said was pare rubbish ; bat it was what pleased the people. He ventured to say that a church should he a sacred place, ana not a hoase in w tiich to give cheap vau deville performances to raise money. IS NOT DEFRAUDED Hyde-Benson Defense Raises Legal Point That the United States is Not Damaged. 'Bobwhite" ftail Liberated Cottage Grove, Feb. 21. J. W. Baker, State Game Warden, has been busy for the last week liberating a large quantity of "Bob White" quail. On Friday he re ceived a shipment of over 100 birds and tnrned them loose near this place. Under natural conditions these birds will increase very rapidly, and it is to be hoped that they will be protected. He expects to receive more if they can be caught. They come from near Jef ferson, Oregon, and are some smaller than the native mountain qatil. a Abandov Railroad Legislation Marie Ware Likes the Jail. Washington, Feb. 21 The death knell of railroad rate legislation in the senate for tins session was sounded to-1 day when 'Senator Elkins, chairman of the committee on interstate commerce, on the floor of the senate, practically gave formal notice that all efforts to se care such legislation will be abandoned and it is the intention of the committee to continue the inquiry daring the sum mer. The Portland Oregonian says : H. G. Mckinley and Marie Ware, whoa names have become familiar to the public thiough the exposure of the colossal land frauds in Oregon, desired to view the inside of a prison and last night were escorted to the citv jail by Acting Sergeant Carpenter. At police headquarters they were able to stand on tside of the jail prop er and gaze through the steel csges, which they did for several minutes. "I was anxious to see what a jail looked like," said Mis Ware, smiling. "Mr. Mckinley and I have been pretty close to jails of late, and may be clover some time, bat we just wanted te sea what the are like. This jail doesn't frighten me at all. It really looks quite comfortable. Indeed, I ahoald not care much te spend a little time in snch a place. It looks eherry to me." McKinley remained silent on the mat ter, giving place to Miss Ware. She was in a talkative mood, and comment ed on al! phases of jail life. She and McKinley had been on a tour of China towns with Frank Griffin. New Riles for Saloons Portland Pastor Scores Chirches Portland, Feb. 21. Rev. C. M. Sasytbe. who retiree as pastor of the Mississippi Avenue Congregational church to go to work on a railroad, is severe in bis criticism of the churches, especially the larger ones. He says they are not accomplishing the work for which they were intended and are get ting farther away from the altruistic idea. "How many of the members of these big churches on the west side with their high salaries pastors and choirs were present when 20 friendless girls were tnrned oat of the Paris house and taken to mil?" he asked. ''Was there one present from the W. C. T. C. or from any of those church Cottage Grove, Or , Feb. 21-The j Citv Council last night passed an ordi ! nance which is a severe blow to the I saloonkeepers. Soloons must close promptly at midnight every night screen and blinds must be removed, and no ' musical instruments will he permitted I to be played in the saloons or any apart ments therein. The cause of the proce dure is the result of a fight that has been maintained for some months Igainst the saloonkeepers for the man ner in which they conduct their places of businees. There has been no gamb ling for two months. Standard Oil Shrinks New York, Feb. 21. Standard Oil stock tenia v sold for 1600 a share, a de cline of 31 points within a week.

SPRAYS, SULPHUR, LIME, BLUE VITROL AND CAUSTIC SODA OF THE BEST QUALITIES SOLD AT MARSTERS' DRUG STORE Washington, D. C . Feb. 21 United Stales Attorney Heney is engaged today answering a point in the Hyde-Benson m, upon the determination of which the success or failure of many of the recent land fraud suits in Oregon hinge. The point raised by the attorneys for the defendant is that in acquiring lieu lands from the state by frand the nited States has not been injured or defrauded, inasmuch aa the title to the lands it secured in exchange for those obtained by the defendants is perfect and not impaired. The defendants con tend that, while the state might have remedy against persons unlawfully ac quiring state lands, through their ex- hangs for those in the reserve, the United states has no recourses, not hev- ng been injured, and that the United States courts are without jurisdiction Heney contends that the defendants engaged in-conspiracy to defraud, and the fact that the United States was not defrauded or injured, does not consti tute on adequate defense. He contends that the United states it trustee for all of its citizens, and is bound to see that the public lands, which belong to the people, are disposed of lawfully. F. H. Piatt and J. C. Campbell ap pear for Hyde and Benson. Mr. Heney states that it will probably be June before it will be practicable to begin the trial of the convicted mem bers of the Oregon delegation , as the month of April will be consumed in finishing .the investigation before the grand jury, and during the month of May the federal court will be busy moving into its quarters in the federal bailding. "Cherokee BUT Gets a Job. Portland, Feb. 18. While some three thousand men seek to be guards at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and many have excellent recommendations, only one maa of the whole three thousand has been definitely promised the posi tion. That man is "Cherokee Bill," and he bears a recommendation from the President of the United States. Cherokee Bill," otherwise Private E. S. kinkead, was one of "Teddy" Roose- velts, rough riders, and was a friend of President Roosevelt when the latter was a plainsman. Cherokee wrote the Pres ident a while ago, reminding him of the fact that the writer had been a member of the troop that stormed San Juan Hill and telling him that he desired to see the Pacific Northwest, and ;the I-ewi and Clark Exposition. Hs would like compensation tumctent to pay his ex penses. 'Cherokee's" letter, with a note from the White House, reached the Exposi tion office a day or two ago, and Presi dent Goode of the Exposition Company at once ordered the rough rider be given the place he sought.

A crew of 100 Japs, comprised of men too short stature to pass the examination required of vol u steers to (he Japanese army, are em ployed on the Southern Pacific Railroad laying new 80-pound steel rails. The Japs take the place of the large crew of white men that were employed a few weeks ago north of here, laying rails for the mountain division, bat who went on a strike because the hours of labor were shortened, thus reducing the day's wag The Japs are very small men, bat are considered better workmen man Greeks or Italians, as they are more steady and far less treacherous. Three Jtondred cars of new heavy steel rails are being distributed along the Southern Pacific between Grants Psss and Ashland, and the present crew ill be increased so that rail-laying may be poshed with greater speed. The first rails on the Rogue River Valley division were laid in the yards in this city. As Mother Used To N.

Land Frand Trials Postponed Read the Plaindealer for all the News Washington, Feb. 20. District attor ney Heney said today that the Mitchell- Hermann-Williamson land fraud cases will probably not be tried before June. He talked the matter oyer with Judge Bellinger at Portland, and the Judge thought April a bad month to get a jury. The court expects to move back into its own quarters in May and does not want the trials on while moving Furthermore, there will be farther in vestigations by the grand Jury in April, which might interfere with the trials in court. These investigations will be con cluded before June. Washington, Feb. 22 In connection itb Mitchell's letter to Tanner, it de velops that Max Pracht, who delivered the letter to Robertson, tnrned a sharp trick to his own advantage. Pracht re cently resigned as special agent of the Land Office and came to Washington seeking an appointment in some other department, but bis closest friends, Her mann and Mitchell, were indited and could not help him. When Mitchell de cided to write Tanner, he did not trust Robertson either to write or to knowing ly carry any word to his law partner, and had Pracht hand the fatal letter to Robertson to throw him off the scent. Pracht was shrewd enough to surmise that the letter was important and on the quiet he informed the secret service people of the Treasury that Robertson was carrying an important paper to Tanner. Pracht'e tip led to the capture of this very important document in the Government's case, and a few days later Pracht was appointed special agent in the Treasury Department. Harry C. Robertson, Senator Mithell's private secretary, whoee testimony .be fore the grand jury and before Judge Bellinger in Portland was anything but favorable to Senator Mitchell, has not lost his position, as was anticipated, but has resumed his duties at the Capitol. Senator Mitchell declines to say whether or not he intends to dismiss Mr. Robert son, but it appears that for the present nothing will be done.

Owing to dissatisfaction arising over the action of the late legislative session in passing the city charter amendment bill providing for the extension of the incorporate hurts of the citv of Rose burg so as to include West and North Roseburg, the citizens of West Roseburg have filed a petition with the county court for the formation of a new incorpo ration of their own. The proposed boundaries for the new municipality in clude considerable more territory than was taken in there by the recent act of the legislature enlarging the Roseburg citv limits. It takes all that part of town lying west and south of the South Umpqua river nearly aa far west as the Soldiers' Home grounds, and including all the territory between the river and the Looking Glass road along the foot of Mt.

Hello , The paage of the Kiilingsworth bill thr 'Ugh the Oregon legislature was a very sigi.iticent event in the history of the state. It will be recalled that Oregon had a railroad commission, and then Oregon abolished that commission. For some years Oregon has tried to ret alone without railroad legislation of any description. But the feeling t,a been growing that adverse influences were at work to pre vent any extension of new line. Tbe passage of this bill was a sur prise. Its author is a man with no experience in legislation, a real estate man, says the Salem Journal. The railroad committee in both House? put this bill into cold storage, and held it here, but it got out. It is expected to have the effect ot enlisting capital in railroad constrution in Oregon, and of lifting trie embargo upon construction. The Oregonian's editoral declaration that there was a policy of strangulation of new enterprises being pursued did the business. If it has the effect of opening up Ore gon to the construction of branch lines it will do more for the state than ali the commerical clubs and development leagues that could be organized. Hut with the co-operation of the com merical Uliee. the killingsworth bill will have that effect unless it is held up in the courts. It cannot well be held up until at least one new line is built. WedBeeday Dave R. ham brook, ex county clerk, submitted to a delicate surgical operation, that of removing a pterydium or growth which for some time has been forming over the right eye which of late has impaired the eyesight and caused slight inflammation at times The delicate operation was very skillful ly performed by Dr. A.

Feb 20. A. M. Christensen. a farmer residing near the old Bailey place, five milee west of Engene, was -truck by a falling tree Saturday after noon about four o'clock and died at 12 o'clock that night from tbe injuries re ceived. He was standing near where a large tree was being cut down. The tree fell suddenly striking a smaller tree, and ttie latter struck the man on the head, rendering him unconscious. The phy sician found the blow had struck man on the left side of the heod. frac turing the skull and causing concussion of the brain. He never regained con sciousness and died at midnight. The unfortunate man was H years old and leaves a wife and three sons. Fulton to Control Patronage. Max Weiss, proprietor of the Rose burg Brewing and Ice Co.'s plant, was arrested Tuesday morning on a charge of selling intoxicating liquor on Sunday. Tbe complaining witness is City Marshal D. J.Jarvis. Mr. Weiss is accused of having sold a keg of beer to a gang of six hobos last Sundav, Feb. 19. The hobos were the ones arrested Monday on sus picion of being the persons who robbed a freight car in the S. P. yards here Sat- . urdsy night. No charge was entered against them, however, owing to lack of sufficient evidence to convict. Four of the men have been released, while the ' other two has been detained as witness es against Mr. Weiss. Mr. Weiss will fight the case and has ! retained Attorney F. W. Benson as counsellor. A demurrer will be filed . contending that the law relating to the offense alleged applies to retail and not wholesale dealers like Mr. Weiss. The demurrer will be argued before Justice Long sometime this week. District At torney Brown will represent the state. CHCRCHILl a WOOU1T VS BTSTXK The case of Churchill jk Woolley vs. John Hunter was heard before Justice Long Tuesday.

Defendant alleged that an overcharge had been made by the firm and that he had paid all that was actually due them for builders hardware. Justice Long; took the matter under advisement and has not yet rendered a decision- Washington, Feb. IS Senator Fulton took up with the President today the re ported agreement of several cabinet of ficers to make no more appointments in Oregon until after the land fraud trials. The President said he had no knowledge of such agreement, and would not ap prove it. On the contrary, he said, any such policy would be an unjust reflec tion on Senator Fulton. The President told the Senator to come direct to him whenever he had any appointments he wanted made. As a matter of fact, aside from the few Presidential poetoffice, no appoint ments are likely to fall due until after the trials, but these appointments would be made whenever Senator Fulton asks for them. In any event, no appointment will ;be made until Senator Fulton is consulted. He will make the selections. Nathan Kullerton, R. K Bellows, Roy Kiniore. O. W. Jones, L J. Houaer. A. Todd, V.
