Editor Chhoniclk:
My attention li called to a com muni
cation in The Chronicle of March 2nd
headed "Is This a Lie Too?"
To any person familiar with the name
attached to the communication, or rather
with the man Elmer Green, and his rep
utation for the past fifteen years
would not be even necessary to read the
lines to know it was a lie ; all that would
be required was the signature to brand
it as such.
The article relates to the charges of
The Chronicle that t pledged my word
of honor not to vote for Mr. Corbett.
Green tells ol such a pledge made it
Johnston Bros, store and calls as wit
neeeeB Eli Htntnan and S. H. Eduion
son, both business men of Dutur. Each
of the gentlemen mentioned say they
have no knowledge of such a converse
tion, nor never heard me make a pledge
to Green nor any other person. Both
gentlemen deny ever hearing the sena
torial question discussed In my presence
Their reputation as business men should
certainly be sufficient to settle the
charge.
Green says you can imagine how cheap
he feels. I can imagine how cheap he
feels if he feels natural, for he ib a cheap
raau ; a man who in every neighborhood
where he has resided is notorious only
for his inability to tell the truth.
ureen may nave lnuuenceu votes in
my ttivor, but il so It was among men
who did not know him, and I feel as
sured that when his neighbors become
acquainted with his character any ordi
nary lie will be considered a-.yirtue in
him compared with his other acts.
Youra Truly,
T. II. Johnston

b lonowing story is told of a Moo
Justice of tli pmn named Heed,
" administered justloe and other
things in the town of Belknap in the
early '70s. Judge Reed performed at
Belknap in the winter of 1878 a marriage
ceremony that is classic in Western
annals. He made the bride swear that
she would support the constitution of
the United States and the organized acts
of the territory of Montana; that she
would be ever loving, faithful and true,
and would be ever willing to defend
with her life, if necessary the honor of
her God, her country and her Hag. The
bridegroom was compelled to swear that
he would split the wood, carry the
water, shovel the snow, build the fire,
and under any and all circumstances
try to be a perfect gentleman. Instead
of returning her devotion with slurs and
scowls he would repay it with kisees and
kind words. If he ran shy of Usees he
was to cull on the justice of the peace,
who was long on kisses but short nn
girls. Reed wound up this unique
ceremony by making the couple recite
the Lord'e prayer in unison. And the
ceremony ended with a crack of a re
volver and a pop of beer corks.
More About the Ntate llotut) Janitor.
J. II. Gates, the ex-janitor of the state
house, whose sudden rise to fame und
prosperity gave him at least state-wide
notoriety, was in the city yesterday, in
close and long consultation with his at
torney, L. II. McMahan. It Is learned
that Mr. Gates has been at Eugene and
Cottage Grove, for several days, and his
stay in these cities gave rise to divers
speculations and local gossip. Gates
dresses well, appears to have plenty of
money and malntaitiH the serious aspect
of one who is of importance to others.

AUGUST BUCHLER, Prop.
Of the product of this well-known brewery the United States Health
ReportB for June 28, 1900, says: "A more eupeiior brew never entered
the labratory of the United States Health reports. It is absolutely devoid
of the slightest trace of adulteration, but on the other hand is composed of
the best of malt and choicest of hops. Its tonic qualities are of the high
est and it can be used with the greatest benefit and satisfaction by old and
young. Its use can conscientiously be prescribed by the physicians with
the cereainty that a better, purer or more wholesome beverage could not
possibly be found."
