Special to Tbk Chbonicu.)
Dknveb, Dec, 5. Whatever railroad
fares may be charged to Chicago fair
next year, it ia evident that the work
men and farmer are to be favored. As
low a rate as $3 for a trip of 458 miles for
this claps of travel was suggested at the
meeting of general passenger agents Sat
urday and was received withoat dissent.
The suggestion was significant, coming
from the source it did, because passen
ger agents are not supposed to be philan-trophists.-
The explanation came later
when a member of the convention v re
marked that the wage-earners and farm
ers control legislation nowadays and
mu&t be hauled cheap,, regardless of
profits. While the ultimate charge for
transportation may not be 'as low as out
lined, it is cause for congratulation that
railroad representatives are so obviously
aware of the public demand for reason
able fares.
The proposal to charge full rates on
eastern trunk lines for first-class traffic
is open to criticism. A passenger may
want to travel in comfort, and yet may
think . himself unfairly treated if he is
charged the old- price, when Jill other
classes of travel have reduced fares.
That is a matter, however, that will
right itself. If the figures keep travel
off the first-class trains, rates will go
down. To the outside observer it would
seem that the eastern lines with their
short haul and densely populated terri
tory could afford to make as low rates as
the Pacific coast lines with reversed
conditions. Yet Pacific coast people
will have the round trip for one fare,
and that on first-class trains. The con
vention had no power to act finally on
passenger matters. The various associa
tions have yet to promulgate official
tariffs. The success of the exposition
depends on those tariffs.
In Striking; Contest.
Oregonian. A striking contrast and one
not entirely insignificant as to the reason
why the churches are in many cases
losing ground, has been seen the past
week in the presentment of religious in
telligence in the daily press. ( Side by
side in many of the leading papers have
been presented two articles of news that
came under this head. The one has re
lated to the Presbyterian church in its
dealings with ministers charged with
disloyalty to the creed. The other has
concerned the Salvation Army and
its methods of evangelicaljwork. A rep
resentative body of each of these two
organizations is in session. The busi
ness of the Presbyterian gathering in
Cincinnati is the triah of Rev. Henry
Preserved Smith of Lane theological
seminary, for heresy. The Salvation
Army congress - has interested itself in
such themes as these : "What shall be
done to increase and strengthen the
work in the smaller towns? How to
lessen the number of drunkards in the
country? How to ameliorate the con
dition of the poor in the crowded tena
ments?" There is as much difference
between these subjects under considera
tion as between darkness and light, yet
both organizations, march under the
banner of the cross. No theologian is
needed to tell the world which of them
follows more closely the example of the
Christ who went about doing good, since
he who runs may read.
Replies . to the Orefonlu.
- Condon Globe. Great Scott! What
have we done that this section should
get such unpleasant notoriety? We
have never known a more peaceable
community than this. It may be that
there are people here, like ' in every
other place; who are bad enough to
steal horses, etc., but our sheriff and
hie deputies are capable of arresting any
of them. The Oregonian gives us a
great name, and paints Gilliam in loud
colors; but Portland really ought to feel
ashamed of the crowd that came here
under the name of "detectives." Peo
ple here thought they were hobos of
the lowest type.
Sinking Into ' Mine.
A dispatch from Hazleton, Pa., says
the wildest alarm was created in Honey
brook Saturday by the dropping of the
surface of the earth, directly over Honey
brook mine, which has been burning for
more than- a month. Since the out
break of the fire it was rumored that an
extensive cave-in was imminent, and
the village would bedestroyed. The bat
tle with the flames went on for weeks.
The surface disturbances were not man
ifest, and the fire was gradually extin
guished from the last gangway. A week
ago it was thought to have been entirely
extinguished. Preparations for contin
uing the work in the mines were made
The men who left the village came back
to secure their old places, and speedy
resumptioa was looked for. Monday
fire was again discovered in one of the
breasts above the 'gangway. It had' al
ready made such headway that the
workmen were forced to flee for their
lives, and the work of flooding the mine
began. At about noon Saturday the
dreaded symptoms, of a cave-in were
noticed. The inen working in the slip
rushed hastily to the surface, and soon
afterwards the crash came. A, settling
of the surface took place immediately
after, and the people rushed excitedly
from their homes. - The affected parts
cover several acres, but fortunately but
few of the dwellings were over it. Or
der was again restored in the village,
and the people returned to their homes,
but are living under terrible apprehension.
Owe a Reparation.
Fossil Journal. It is amusing to read
ip the Portland dailies descriptions of
the terrors Cal Hale, Geo. Zachary et al
are to the inhabitants of Eastern Oregon.
We didn't know that we were living un
der a veritable sword of Damocles,- and
always looked upon Hale as a' good,
peacable, law-abiding citizen, and on
Zachary as about average. Seriously,
we think the Oregonian and Telegram
have had Sullivan turning the crank and
grinding out the copy which exalts him
self at the expense of belter men, long
enough. They . should now cast the
thief-catcher, adrift and let the other
side have a turn. These papers have
done a number of innocent men a great
wrong. It may have been unintentional,
but they owe a reparation' to the injured
parties just the same.
After Ho'Se Thieves.
Fossil Journal. Last Sunday morn
ing three strangers started from Lone
Rock with about twenty bead of horses
which they had gathered in that vicin
ity, going towards Haystack. Frank
Crawford met them and out out of the
bunch half a dozen of his father's horses,
also four head belonging to Mr. Wick.
More of Wick's horses being missing,
Squire Clark issued a warrant for the
arrest of the thieves, and Otho Ward,
Dud Flynn, George ' Perry and several
others started out to capture them.
They came up with two of the men near
Haystack, viz., Gid Rains and a German
named Murphy, and placed them under
arrest. They said that their companion
had gone on with the horses, and part
of the posse, armed with Winchesters,
at last accounts were on the trail.

Queer world t Queer' people! Here are
men and women by thousands suffering
from all sorts of diseases, bearing all
manners of pain, spending their all on
physicians and "getting no better, but
rather worse," ' when right at hand
there's a remedy which says it can help
the. a because it's helped thousands like
them. "Another patent-medicine ad
vertisement," you say. Yes but not of
the ordinary sort. The medicine is Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
it's different from the ordinary nos
trums in this:
It does what it claims to do, or it costs
you nothing I
The way is this': You pay your drug
dist $1.00 for a bottle. You read the
directions, and you follow them. You
get better or you don't. If you do, you
buy another bottle, and perhaps an
other. If you don't get better, yon get
your money back. And the queer thing
is that so many people are willing to be
sick when the remedy's so near at hand.

Purposes. '
Olympia, Dec. 5. The strange case of
Moses H. Scott was decided Saturday by
the supreme court. Scott disappeared
from Olympia in 1881. After a lapse of
seven years, during which time he was
not heard from, his estate was probated
on the petition of his. sister,, on the
ground that his long absence without
being heard from was evidence of bis
death. A year ago he reappeared and '
brought suit to eject John McNeal from '
lands of Scott sold in the probate pro
ceedings. The superior court decided
againBt Scott and the supreme court
affirms the judgment. In rendering its
decision, the court says: "The defend
ants, after purchasing the property, took
possession of it and made valuable im
provements. They stand in the position
of innocent purchasers, and the question
is, under this peculiar condition of af
fairs, which one of the parties must suf
fer? The equities of the case ought to
be clearly with the defendants, for, aa
the matter appears, appollant willfully
abandoned the property in question;
and he certainly had reason to expect
that proceedings of the kind would be
instituted, after a lapse of years, in case
hie relatives and other interested parties
should not be able to obtain any infor
mation of his existence or whereabouts."
Reward for Bank-Robbers.
Virginia, 111., Dec. 5. Considerable
excitement still prevails at Ashland, -this
county, over the recent robbery of
the savings bank of that village. The
bank books were inspected to-day and -show
the robbers secured $3,463 being the
entire stock of funds in the bank at the
time. The robbers took nothing but
money. All the other valuables were
found in various places in the bank
vault. A reward of $500 has been offered
for the robbers.

PRIESTESS OF THEOBOPHx.
She Declares That Death Is bnt a Leg.
- end, a Superstition. ' '
.The largest audience that ever gathered
to bear a tbeosophical lecture filled
Checkering hall, New York, Saturday,
to welcome Mrs. Annie Besant, the great
high priestess of theosophy. The audi
ence packed the bouse and hung breath
lessly on Mrs. Besant's words. Even
skeptics were moved by the magnetic i
eloquence of the lecture, "Death After."
She declared death was a legend, a su
perstition, a medieval belief. There ia '
no such .thing as death, she declared.
What is called death is but a new birth.
She condemned the ordinaryforms of so
called spiritualism, and declared theoso
phy did not countenance them. There
are spiritual phenomena connected with
theosophy, but not what quackery im
posed upon people so . continually.
Among the audience . was a young dis
ciple of theosophy who had come to New
York from New Zealand just for 10-min-ute
audience with Mrs. Besant. He ar
rived yesterday and left for London today-
