Oregon Statesman, Aug. 19, 1864
T EGAL notices and patent medicine advertisements oc-
J-J copied most of the space in the little four-page news
paper 11x15 inches page size, entitled "Daily Oregon
Statesman' for the date of August 19, 1864. Mrs. S. A.
Dyer has recently let us see a copy of this issue which she
has in her possession. The Statesman was founded as a
. weekly newspaper March 17. 1851. It became a daily July
20, 1864, so this particular Issue was No. 27 of the daily
edition.
Legal notices from Douglas and "Coose" county were
published then m the Statesman. The paper had several
mining notices and we notice at that early day they were
levying: assessments for working the Santiam mines. J. H.
and I. R. Moores had the biggest general merchandise ad
and after the manner of old advertising, catalogued every
thing they had in the store, getting down finally to mis
cellaneous: canary cages, tar
ren's cabs . . . everything needed for a complete outfit for
the Santiam mines.
The editor's name is not
whfth had been founded by A.
had become, a loyal partisan of
its masthead: For president, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois;
for vice-president, Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee." The
leading editorial denounced John C. Fremont who was run
ning as an "independent" against Abraham Lincoln. Inde
pendency, it seems, is not a new habit. A citizen writes in
' to charge Ben Hayden with
had been imported into Polk
ticket.
War news appears on page
a a A . A J
jevotea aimosi wnony to advertising, ine statesman car
ried a daily telegraph news service just as it has ever since,
only dispatching took longer and the report from the head
quarters of the Army of the, Potomac is dated Aug. 16. It
says: "Everything quiet in front of Petersburg." There is
a brief report of one of the engagements around Richmond,
and Atlanta was under siege from General Sherman who
was extending his lines about the city. The overland stage
was drawing in its stock to Omaha on account of Indian
raids.
The only war work note"d locally was the item that Rev.
Dr. Patterson, agent of the U. S. Christian Commission,
would address the people of the city at the First M. E.
church. There is an interesting letter from T. McF. Patton
written in vmo following a trip to Mew xorjc mere ne nad
seen two "monster iron clads," the Puritan and the Die-
tator, visited the offices of the Tribune and the Herald,
also visited P. T. Barnums humbug museum in whose "his
torical room" he found specimens of currency, certificates,
etc, which prompted him to write:
"The Idea occurred to me that this would be a good place to
exhibit specimens of the stock certificates of the numerous organ
ised companies on the famous Santiam'
He winds up, following a visit in Philadelphia, Wash
ington and other eastern cities with:
"Old Aba is all right. Fremont aad Little Mae are not spoken
of."
This early Statesman had some "valley news," pub
lishing the following under the head of "up-country items":
"Several fields of corn on the Long Tom as averaging about six
feet in length, to the stalk. Parties are leaving Corvallls nearly
every day on pleasure excursions to Yaeolna bay. There is a general
and substantial improvement noticeable in the town."
The adyertisements which
age of the space than present practice permits, are inter
esting. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the only one of the
many patent medicines advertised which has survived. A
Portland house advertised
quors." The City Bakery offered 15 loaves of bread for a
dollar. Stapleton and Myers were offering a newly patented
washing machine:'. "Unsurpassed by any machine of the
kmd ever invented,
There is a notice about the formation of the Bank of
California as the successor to the San Francisco banking
house of Donohue, Ralston & Co. It had a Portland branch
with' Jacob Kamm in charge. William Alvord is listed as one
of the founders, and we suppose the present manager of the
Portland branch is a relative of his. So this bank has had a
long and honorable career.
Sublimity College announced the opening of its second
year. The "expenses" for 'higher English" were $7 to $8
and for "common English" $5 to $6. Vocal music was taught
without charge. J. B. V. Butler of Polk county wat fore
closing on; some land to satisfy a deficiency judgment
against some one. Richards and McCracken advertised 'Sand
wich Island sugar just received per. bark Cambridge, 600
kegs -of 'sugar." Salem had "surgical and mechanical dent
ists." Caton and Curl announced they would purchaser war
scrip or claims against Oregon and Washington. Kenyon s
gallery offered for sale "splendid card photographs of the
Hero of Vicksburg" General Grant.
The Statesman, then as now, was putting in new ma
chinery to meet the needs of the public for fine printing
and advertised:
"We have lately received, direct from New ToTk, per clipper
ship Carrier Dove, and bark Alma, a new and beautiful Gordon Job
Power Press.'
It still ran the "Prospectus" of the daily edition, stat
ing "Dally mails and the more rapid telegraph, render weekly news
papers altogether too alow to satisfy the public greed for news. The
community In which the Dally Statesman la to circulate t email. It

The beginnings of the "Daily Oregon Statesman ere
indeed humble, but it was something of a venture to launch
during those war times a daily paper in the small town of
Salem. Those who are its publishers today cannot but feel
something of a trust in carrying forward the stewardship.
We can only quote approvingly, and appropriately, from-the

The OTHER BULLET
CHAPTER 0
"Will yoa tell me, step by step,
exactly what happened yesterday?
Try to take It ImpersoaaUy, as if
It had all happened to someone
else. I know it's a strain on you.
bnt it hap to be done aad we
haven't a great deal of time."
"Strain? I shall have to learn
to bear strain, I think. Part of
1 1 don't understand, myself, but
I'll tell you what I can. Somehow
it seems very long age not like
yesterday."
Peter found himself ardently
hoping that the sense ot remote
ness and unreality, the effect of
shock, would mercifully not wear
oft before Aline reached the end
of her recital.
"I did not know my sister very
well," she began with slow clarity.
"Wo were both left orphan very
young, and were brought up by
different sets of relatives. But
whenever we met, wo got along
well enough, and when X found
that she was at loose ends tor the
summer, I invited her to visit me.
It did not once enter my head that
that Don" Her lips twisted la
.bitter Una that was leas like a
amflo than a grimace defying tho
ignominy of tears.
"I was so lost la Don and I
had every reason to suppose ft
was tho same with bin. I told
yon I didn't take these things
lightly. Pernaps sis manner had
been a little different lately. But
it it was, I attributed It to his
moods. Essentially he was toward
mo as ho had always been as ho
had come to be in these last few
months. Then yesterday Marjorie
told me. She told me I had been
a fool not to see It.
'I didn't believe her I could
not. I bad been so sure: eo- utterly
sure! My disbelief made her ang
ry so angry that she told me
other things, she taunted me oa
tho difference la our ages. She
said that Don told her ho had
only been playing with too, that
he had turned from me at once
when she. a younger womaa earn.

said that or. It he said it, atlU It
was not trio. Bo aad aot beea
Just playing with me not at
first, not before she came, I am

Slowly aad painfully, picking
tho phrases, tho low voice went
on. Peter paid aHeat tribute to
tho courage which could thus lay
bare its own faUen pride la tho
face ot necessity. .
"She aid that ho did aot know
how to gat rid ot me, when I waa
so wilfully Mind. She ovoa aaid
that tho blindness was only a pre
tense, to try 'to keep them apart
It was then that X told her to pack
her things and go to go at once.
rIf I do' aho said. Don goes
with mo She was flinging her
things into her suitcase, helter-
skelter, while we talked.
"Bat Don can't go I said. He
has to stay with tho ranch. Max
counting On him. Ifa strange,
but that is really what X thought
of that Don mast stay by tho
ranch, tor Max's saksx I didn't ex
pect Max back for at least a cou
ple ot weeks, yoa see?
"I'm going and Don fa going,
tat repeated. "But before he coos,
bo will tea Max the reaaoa. Ha
win write aim that he had to go
because yea wouldn't lot aim
alone.' That'll tho only way aad
It won't leave yoa la any position
to maze ironoie cor us."
I don't know why X believed
sack a thing ot X)on ualeat ft
was that I had never nany knows
much of his character. That flam
ing nam ox emouoa waa. always
Between us. it nad kept me from
seeing him clearly even from
trying to. And that flaming mist
(had caught Marjorie too. I knew
interestinc histnnV! Wiimnt
By Nancy Barr Mavity
that she was not thinking ot any
one but herself and Don-that she
couldnt. Oh, how well I knew It!
"She left me standing there,
and sent Julio up from tho lower
garden to carry her bags down to
tho road, where the stage passes
by. X heard him come and go. I
remembered the things Don had
said to me aad those other
things that Marjorie had told me
he said. I seemed to be hurtling
down and down into some hide
ous abyss.
"I remember I put my hands
against the wall and pushed with
all my might, as if I could by
mala force tear it apart. It waa
like some rending physical pain,
when yon scream that you can't
bear it, and yet it goes on.
"And then, gradually, some
thing emerged. It was Max. What
It would mean to Max when Don
told him about us. And somehow
It was all mixed op with stray
thoughts about the sheep and the
herders, and how Don was going
to desert the ranch When Max was
depending oa him.
"I heard a queer rattling sound
it was the sound ot my own
laugh when it dawned on me how
utterly lnalgmlficamt the sheep
were, after all.
"Then suddenly everything be
came clear very eold and clear.
The hot afternoon sun was blaz
ing Into tho room and I shiver
ed. It must bo destroyed this
thlag that had arisen, a flaming
mist, between Max and me. It
mast Io destroyed because ef Max
because ot his utter steadiness
and faith.
"It was the thing in myself that
must be destroyed and yet that
thing was Don. Tor Don to tell
Max would bo worse than killing
htm, because. It Max were dead,
he would never know. 'Killing
him' X remember I said that
aloud. I heard it. and It was like
another voice la tho room. I must
kill the thing la the flaming mist
I matt kill Don so that Max would
never be hurt would never know
I took the pistol from theTTl
drawer ot tho table, wnere Max
kept It and went down tho path
to tho lodge. X stood tn the door
way and tired before I could see
mora than a dark blur tn the
shadowed room. Then X saw Don
sitting at the table, tad X fired
again. He toppled zorward over
tho table top."
Mrs. Everett leaned baek, her
fingers pressed against her tem
ples, and sighed like one who is
very tired.
"Bnt yoa said. Peter reminded
bar, "that yon did not shoot him
twice."
Aline dragged her hands away
from her face. Aain, and again,
aad again she mast lift herself
from that pit ot uttermost weari
acea, aad force her exhausted
mind to meet tho future that was
the past, the past that had hurled
her to this present
I didn't, Tho first shot went
wild. It dldat hit anything at
an
"What do yon mean-ft didn't
hit aaythiag at all?
"Just that It weat through the
ope window.
"Thta who did fire that other
shot?"
"I don't know. Aad after all,
X killed him, so what does it mat
ter? "It matters everything tn tho
world, Peter shouted. "It some
body also dldat kUl Mortison,
somebody else made a mighty
good stab at ft. Either one of the
woeada waa sufficient to cause
death.' For the matter of that I
don't see how yoa can be sure
that your first bullet didn't hit
him. Ton eould hardly see Into
the room, you said."
"I don't know why I'm so sure.
But the pistol was waving wildly
In my haad, and I hare a distinct
Impression that the shot went
wild." r
"I don't suppose you happened
to notice where tho first shell
dropped?
-"No Yes, I do! I heard tho
click as It dropped on a stone at
my feet; then it bounced and roll
ed off into the grass."
Peter glanced at her keenly.
Was It possible that she way ly
ing that she had invented the
shell that dropped as ahe stood
outside the door on the spur of
moment? But what could be the
motive in such an Invention when
she hid already admitted that her
second shot had struck MortisOa?
"I found two Identical .45 sheila
on the floor of the room," he
said meditatively. "But, by Jlm
iny, if you're right they may not
be so Identical as they look!"
"I still don't see "
"Why, it's as plala . s the nose
on your tace! If someone else
shot Mortison after yu did, the
only thing for you to do is stick
to your original story and put up
a defense of temporary insanity
or maybe we can work up some
sort of self-defense angle. But
with the Jury yonll hare hero, It
will bo a pretty tough proposi
tion." Aline Everett shook her head.
"No," she said. "I'm telling one
big lie. and that's for Max. It's
enough. I won't tell any others.
I wasn't Insane, and it wasn't
self-defense."
"But don't you see, it all hinges
on which ot those shots waa fired
first! If one of them came from
another pistol than yours, Kurt
ner can find It out and caa tell
which shot came from your gun,
even It they both look alike as
two peas. In that case, it's pos
sible that you didi't kill him at
all that he was already dead
when you got there!"
"You mean that perhaps I
didn't do It!" The words came
gasping, incredulous.
"I mean that Tve got to get
busy and work on that other bul
let. Something tells me "
But Aline had slumped limply
aad silently to the floor. '

after dark, reached a spot near

Letters from
Statesman Readers
Editor ot Statesman:
I note In The Statesman your
articles about tho tent meetings
and the leaders. Brother get
your Bible out and look up what
Mr. Wy'att is preaching about
and you will find every word
about healing, backed by God's
word.
The writer has personally been
healed of bad diseases over sev
en years ago and it still keeps.
I have known dozen of preach
ers who practice praying for the
sick and according to the Bible
they should all do so, as It Is a
part of the gospel.
I have never known a preacher
to take a cent for praying for the
sick. Mr. Wyatt will not either.
Tou should understand that he
couldn't heal anything and does
not claim to. The writer has been
to every meeting and knows what
he is talking about. All he does
Is obey the Bible and pray for
the sick and God does the heal
ing. Tou can do the same or any
one else can if they will only give
their hearts to God and cast un
belief out of their hearts and be
lieve the word.
Read. Mark 1. chapter It. 17,
IS. verso II "He that believes
and la baptized shall be saved
and he that believes not shall be
damned." And these signs shall
follow them that believe; in my
name shall they cast out devils;
iney snau speak with new ton
gues. They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly
thing uv-shall not hurt them.
They shall lay. hand on the sick
and they shall recover. It Is all
through the Bible. . Believe;
boost for this brother and hla
work as he has left his all; for It
regarding money.
Why not let them have free
apartments, free ground for tent,
free gasoline, free food, free
clothing, free advertising in your
paper, then they won't have to
bother about money, "
Above all read your Bible and
find out if these things be true
or not don't be misled by others,
come out and see tor yourselves
before criticising. Yours for
more, bigger and more powerful
meetlag than ever.
