The First Eastern Oregon District Ag
ricultural Association draws $1500 per
annum from the state for district fair
purposes. Since the passage of the law
of 1889, by mutual consent, the fairs
have been held in rotation, ub follows:
Baker City, La Grande and Prairie City.
It was Baker City's turn this year, but,
iu spite of the exiEting verbal agreement,
W. G. Hunter, representing Union
county, and having proxies from Mal
heur and Wallowa, voted iu favor of
La Grande us the place for holding tbiB
year's fair. Baker City people say they
will probobly advocate the repeal of the
law under which the appropriation is
drawn. La Grande would have been
regularly entitled to the fair of 1899.
I.UHt Melit'ft .Meeting.
A very enthusiastic audience met at
the Methodist church last night. After
an enjoyable and spirited song service,
the meeting was opened by several im
pressive and earnest, prayers. H. K.
Hines, D. D., was iu the city and de
livered a very plain, practical and help
ful sermon from tho text "Work out
your own salvation with fear and tiem
bling." The thoughts suggested were
equally applicable to saint and sinner.
His first question was: "How many
hero tonight could say, 'I have so used
the opportunities granted me as to make
out of my life all that was possible'?"
"What is salvation? Is it just Jo get
inside heaven's gate at tlie'last?" He
defined salvation aa revealed in God's
word to consist llrst of justification by
faith. "Therefore, being justified by
faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord, Jeans Christ." Second, "The
Spirit itself heareth witnees with our
spirits that wo are thechildren of God."
Third, "Tho blood of Jesus Christ, Ills
Sou, cleuuseth us from all sin." These
three conditions constitute salvation.
His exhortations to work and service
weie very convincing and instructive.
At the close of the sermon a loving ap
peal was made by tho pastor to the au
dience to unite In an after service. Tlie
response was very geiuraK X

Walker, the Oo-I!etweeD, Creates n
Senaatluu.
In the case of the United States vs. I.
H. Tafre, J. W. Walker, S. C. Bratton
and Edward Kilfeather, indicted for
conspiracy to commit a crime against
the United StateB in endeavoring to
corruptly influence a petit federal jury,
and for conspiring to cheat and defraud
the United States in endeavoring to
secure an exorbitant verdict in the Ce
lilo boat railway condemnation proceed
ings, set for trial in the United States
district court this morning, it was the
unexpected that happened. As was
predicted, the application of Edward
Kilfeather for a sepaeate trial was de
nied. Thie was no surprise, but when
it came to the arraignment of Defendant
Walker, and in response to the question
of the court as to what his plea was, he
promptly entered a plea of guilty, there
was a surprise. Such a move on the
part of Walker waB not anticipated, and
Attorney Kufus Mallory, who had been
employed in his defenee, promptly with
drew. Kilfeather and Taffe were per
haps aa much taken by surprise as any
one, and their misgivings as to the out
come of tlie case by reason of this unex
pected turn of affaire, were plainly de
picted upon their countenances. De
fendant Brattan, who had furnished the
information upou which the indictment
was returned, and by reason of his con
fession doubtless expects to have leni
ency shown, also entered a plea of
guilty. This left Talfe and Kilfeather
but little ground to stand on, but the
trial proceeded, nevertheless. Tho two
defendants were represented by RufuB
Mallory, Chester V. Dolph, Richard
Nixon and Henry 12. McGinn, while
United States District Attorney John H.
Hall, Assistant C. J. Schuabel and
Special Counsel J. C. Moreland looked
out for the interests of tho government.
The tactics of the defenso were evi
denced when it came to the introduc
tion of testimony. Tho li rut witness
called was Captain J. A. Sladen, clerk
of the United States court, through
whom it was sought to introduce tho
pleadings in the condemnation proceed
ings for tho right of way for the boat
railway over Taife's land, tried a year
ago last December, and the court rec
ords pertaiuing to the trial of the case.
Attorney Mallory objected to tho intro
duction of the pleadings and then also
to the question as to whether or not a
jury had been regularly Impaneled upon
the trial of the condemnation proceed
ings. As an objection to the latter
question he raised the hair-splitting
point, which should properly have been
raised iu a demurrer to the indictment
that under the statutes of the United
States it was no crime to conspire to
corruptly influence a jury. The stat
ute makes use ot the words juror and
jurors aud he coutended that it could
not be assumed that it meant jury as
well.
The court, however, promptly over
ruled this technical objection, holding
that two jurors could constitute a jury

and that consequently the word jury
covered and included the words juror
and jurors. The defenee was allowed an
exception to the ruling and the records
were admitted in evidence. Up to noon
only a portion of the records had been
read.
The charge against Kilfeather and
Brattan was that they accepted a bribe
to return a large verdict in favor of
Taffe in the condemnation proceedings
for the right of way over his land.
Walker is alleged to have acted in the
roll of go-between, while Taffe, the in
terested party, is said to have produced
the bribo consisting of promissory
notes. Uregonian.
EXTENSION WORK SOON BEGINS
I'lang of the Tacoiua i Columbia Klver
ltallroad--The Dalles tho Terminus.
Colonel William Bailey, president of
the Tacoma and Columbia River Rail
road, who returned Sunday from a two
month's trip to New York, Washington,
St. Louie and other Eastern cities, re
ports that through the floating of the
bonds of the company while he was East
the projected road is placed in a condi
tion to extend the line to itsdestination,
The Dalles, on the Columbia river.
Mr. Bailey said that as yet there is
nothing particular to announce in re
gard to the line, except that extension
work will be begun within a short time
and steadily pushed until finished.
"The talk about the immediate ex
tension of the line by large Eastern
railroads is scarcelv to be credited at this
writing." said Mr. Bailey. "This is no
time for the Western linee to extend or
build new lines, for the reason that
many of them are just emerging from
receiverships into reorganized concerns.
A reorganized road must be run cau
tiouely for a time, as reorganization in
curs a heavy burden and some one must
stand the expense. Teleiiram.
