Dissatisfied Prisoners,.
Mr. De Bois and son, of Lin
coln county, now confined in the
Benton county jail are not as weli
satisfied by the change from
Toledo to Corvallis as was hoped
they would be. Mr. De Bois has
made cofn plaints about the hard
ness of the bed and has asked
for springs to be put thereon. He
also thinks be is entitled to the
same fare served by the best hotels
in the city. Whether or not he
is guilty of that with which he is
charged remains to be seen, but
taking it for granted that he' is
not, he is now getting as much
or more in the way of accomodat
ions than most people enjoy who
are free
The food he gets is wholesome
and clean and there is plenty of
it. His bed is no harder than
other beds without springs and
he has in addition a fair amount
ot good reading matter to pass
away his weary hours. If prison
ers were granted every request,
there is no telling where the
thing would end. If the spring
bed and better menu were grant
ed Mr. De Bois, probably the
next thing he would want tor his
cell would be a Brussels carpet.
The expenses in this case, how
ever do not matter as they are
borne by another county, but
prisoners in general are apt to
forget that ihey are held as violat
ors of the law and order, and are
SUNDAY vs. SATURDAY.
Dr. Gamble On Sabbath Observ
ancc..
Dr. S. W. Gamble of Ottawa,
Kansas, reputed to be the great
est living exponent and defender
of the Christian Sabbath iw the
United States, delivered a series
ot five lectures on that subject
in the M. E Church in this city,
beginning Wednesday evening
and ending Sunday evening
While the attendance was not
large because of attractions -in
other directions, the lectures were
a source of great benefit to those
who did attend. There has been
so much misunderstanding on
this point that the people were
glad to listen to an authority on
the subject.
The specific object of his com
ing was to awaken public con
science along the lines of closer
and stricter Sabbath observance!
and fortified this position with
secular as well as biblical re a ons.
His coming also follows the clos
ing of a series of meetings by
the Seventh Day Adventist who
teach that Saturday is the proper
and only day to observe as Sab
bath because the Jews were com
manded to keep this day and al
ways to observe it as their sab
bath. The researches cf Dr. Gamble
I in determining whether Saturday
or Sunday is the proper day to
belonged to them. : Moses Jiad a
double sabbath every year for
forty years and changed the day
of the sabbath forty times dur
ing his ministry."
"Christ observed a double sal -bath
three times during his min
istry or at each Pentecost. He
had one double ssbbath of his
own ; the day He Jay in the grave.
and the day He rose from the
dead."
'There remaineth therefore a
sabbath keeping to the people of
God, for He that is entered into
His test, He also hath ceased
from His own work as God did
from His."
A Good Word for O. A. C.
supposed to suiter and be denied j observe has gone deeply into the
the privileges ot ordinary srctety, j history of ancient peoples and
rather thnn havs a good time in
confinement. In the matter of
expense also, the public is fre
quently made to suffer quite as
much as the prisoners, by having
to bear the expense ot such re
tention, in providing spring beds,
hotel fare etc.
It seems no more than just
that where fines are imposed they
ought to be sufficiently large to
cover all such expenses counting
out at the expiration of the term
the value of any work that may
have done. In case this is not
done the public is justified in
making the expense as small as
possible, providing if need be
only bread and water-

have extended through a period of
1 8 years. Hrs method of prov
ing his position was by means of
an ancient Egyptian calendar,
wtiich he said was the only one
having a fixed number of days in
each week. He was also well!
supplied with books of reference J
and the writings of his adver
saries.
To prove that the Jewish Sab
bath was not a fixed day nor con
tinuously observed by the Jews,
he spoke as follows: "The Sab
bath of Creation was carried down
until the buildinar of the tower of
Babel when tongues were confus
ed. . Many nations were formed
each having their own way of
reckoning time. The Egyptians
were the only ones among them
that had a fixed week. The first
day of the Egyptian week was
Saturday and their saobath was
Friday. The children of Israel
became slaves in Egypt, and lost
their own Sabbath and folio jved
the Egyptians in observing Fri
day. At Mount Sinai the lost
sabbath of the Jews was revealed
to them, this they continued to
observe until the resurection."
"The Jewish sabbath was un
like the original sabbath for six
reasons. Every weekly sabbath
was to be a day of feasting. It
was to remind them of their free
dom from slavery. It was a
changeable sabbath, it was not
ai fixed day ot the week, but f
certain fixed dates every year. It
was only for the Jews. It was a
"sign" sabbath. Once a year
they were to have a sabbath two
days long, and once in 50 years
the land was to have a sabbath
two years long."
"The weekly sabbaths of the
Jewish dispensation were not on
Saturdays, but on each day Of our
week in turn for just a year at a
time. The atone sabbath was
a weekly sabbath." It was a
fast sabbath; while the weekly
sabbaths were feast days.
"Bible years were just as long! cent, for 3rd.'
as our years, so that when a year
began on Satuaday, the next year
would begin and end on Sunday
and so on."
"When two days together were
observed as sabbath it was not
two sabbaths but one sabbath
two daj-s long. ;
"The day of Pentecost was al
ways a double sabbath," which
threw, the regular sabbath one
day forward each year. The year
in which Christ . was crucified be
gan on Saturday but Wednesday
was the , weekly sabbath at the
time of his" baptism. " God gave
the Jews their sabbath and they

The St. Louis Fair.
r
BOB-
During ihe first month of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
over one million people went
through "the turnstile gates into
the fair grounds. The grounds
are rapidly nearing completion,
and each day marks some im
provement in the general charac
ter of the fair.
"Well, I nave visited every
state building ' on he grounds,
and none has pleas d me so much
as this one. lc is unique and so
different from any other state
mansion and at the same time it
is so attractive it is a pleasure to
see it."
Oregon's building is not in an
out of the way place, but on the
contrary, stands on the highest
place on the grounds, and is on
the main road from the Palace ol
Fine Arts to the Government
Building, a thoroughtair that is
always thronged. Oregon is at
tracting attention at St. Lonis,
and promises to have a large del
egation from old Missouri in 1905.
