Charge Against Apostle Crefield.
THE ELECTRIC ROW.
An information was filed
against Apostle Edwin Crefield
yesterday by District Attorney
Manning, charging him with
adultery. He was brought into
the courtroom shortly before 10
o'clock, and when he toek his
seat he smiled benignantly upon
the court. The apostle ot the
Holy Rollers took his seat in the
jury row with just as much com
placency as a boy would at a soda
water stand, and he entered a
pica of not guilty to the charge
in a manner that while not child
ish might not be considered as
the action of a man who is in the
full possession of his faculties.
He appeared to have been great
ly improved by his incarceration
in the county jail, but he was
pale and nervous and his hands
shook when Assistant District
Attorney Moses read the inform
ation against him.
"Not guilty," said Crefield,
when the reading was completed.
'.'Have you an attorney to
represent you?" asked Judge
George.
"No; I do not want one,
thank you, sir."
"Are you ready to plead?"
"I plead not guilty."
'When your case comes to tri
al, have you the means to em
ploy an attorney?"
"No; I have no means."
"Then when your case is set
for trial the court will appoint an
attorney to defend you."
I do not desire one," and Cre
field in the full exercise of his
religious power, threw a hypno
tizing smile at ' the court, but
Judge George declined to receive
the hypnotic influence, and or
dered Crefield returned to his cell
until a date is selected tor his
triai.
Crefield will not state what his
line of defense will be, but it is
believed from what he has said
to fellow prisoners in the county
lau that when he is tried he will
make an effort to prove that his
stvle of religion is a benefit to
and not a crime against any
community.

Some adverse criticism has de
veloped in regard to the proposi
tion to construct the new electnc
road. This criticism happily is
confined to only a few and most-
y those who live adjacent to the
proposed route and their only
criticism is that tne cars will
scare the horses. In the first
place the road ought to be built
tor the very important reason
that it is a public necessity.
Corvallis needs.it, Monroe needs
and every citizen interested
in the development of the county
needs it. Shall a halt dozen
men stand in the way of an im
provement that means millions
of dollars to the community and
in which several thousand citi
zens are interested? It ought
not to be so. All improvements
are for the good of the majority
and the minority ought to sub
mit. Furthermore the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company has
deeded right-of-way between
Corvallis and Monroe that cuts
through fields, across the public
highway, through barnyards,
dooryards, etc., and if ever used,
as it very likely will be if the
electric road is not put in, will
be a source of far more inconven-
lence to tne xarmers aiong me
way than the electric road. The
Southern Pacific right-of-way
cuts right through the barnyard
of one of the principal objectors
to this electric road. The elec
tric cars are not one-fourth as
noisy or dangerous as the rail
way train. The electric car can
be stopped within ten feet where
as the railway train requires
nearly a hundred yards. The
fare on the electric cars will be
about one cent a mile, on the rail
way cars three cents. The
farmer can bring his produce to
town for verv little more than
the cost of feeding: his horses
were he to come to town with
Good Words for O. A. C.
The Roseburc Plaindealer of
Aug. 22 has a good word to say
for our college. It mentions the
fact that Professor Horner was in
that city and held examination
at Hotel McClallen Friday for
the convenience of prospective
students in the Oregon Agricul
tural College. Several young
people with their parents were in
town to meet Professor Horner,
and it is learned that the atten-
dence from this locality promises
to be mnch larger this year than
heretofore.
After mentioning the names
of the former students from their
vicinity who have distinguished
themselves here, it says:
"It is learned that the grade and
quality of students from Douglas
are second to none, and that earn
est efforts are being put forth to
increase the quantity. The fact
that the Oregon Agriculturla
College, which a few years ago
was excelled, m the number of
attendents, by half a dozen Ore
gon colleges, has grown till it
hasjnearly twice as many students
. mm .
as any otner college in tne state
is conclusive evidence that the
school is doing superior work; and
that the people desire a broad
scientific education for their chil
dren: Such a training will in
crease usefulness and opportunity
of young people from one hun
dred to ten thousand per cent.
The boys and girls who have
been in attendence are enthusi
astic for the O. A. C, hence it is
probable that the attendence from
Douglas will be largely increased
this year.

his team. If it comes to a choice
between the Southern Pacific
Company and the Electric Rail
way Company we ought not to
hesitate a single instant in tavor
of the latter. As to the right-of-
way along the public road, the
county has as much right to it
as many or all of the farmers
along the way. This is a terri
torial road 80 feet wide and is
public property, but some of the
property owners along the way
have moved their lences out ic
ieet on each side until the road
m such places is now only oo
feet wide. If the road is too nar
row let these same persons move
their fences back to where they
belong and there will be room
euoueh. Uy all means let us
have the road if we can get it
It will mean much more to the
future generations than it means
to us. Property along the way
will increase in value many
times increasing the chances for
sale. The vast country about
Monroe, Bellfountain, Alsea and
through the fertile valley of the
the long Tom will have an out
let to a profitable market. Let
us have the electric
The road will very likely be
commenced in the verv near
future. Colonel J. G. Wilson,
W. J. Wilsey and J. M. Ed
dy, of Eugene, are in the city
having driven over from Eugene
to view the right-of-way. These
gentlemen state positively that
the line is a certainty and not
simply a paper proposition.
Two New Wonders.
Two discoveries along agri
cultural lines have just been an
nounced, both calculated to work
wonders. The first is a seedless
apple. Several bushels of these
apples from Colorado are on ex
hibition at the St. Louis Fair.
The apple tree is blossomless, and
the fruit is free from worms and
! hardy enough to endure the

pests swarm into the wagons in
such numbers as to make cooking
a perfect torture. The important
things help themselves to the best

protest when molested. The cooks

verest frost. The blossomless
feature of the new tree is one of
its most striking peculiarities,
and will make it a favorite with
fruit growers, especially in cold
climates. Already seedless apple
nurseries have been started in sev
eral states and seedless apple buds
are in great demand.
The second wonder is a new
potato from Uruguay. S. A. It
isdescribedjas a tuber of enormous
fecundity, delicious flavor and
practically immune from the dis
eases that attack the ordinary
sorts in the United States. It
needs' planting only once for it
produces itself; it is large, weigh
ing from one to two pounds,
slight, greenish pulp and yellow
ish wrinkled extenor. An acre
produced 8, 500 pounds as com
pared with 3,000 pounds of early
rose planted side by side. A
great increase in potato and ap
ple production will result if these
two discoveries can be brought
into general use.
A. wave 01 sorrow swept over
Albany Wednesday' afternoon
when it was learned that Miss
Ora Simpson, one of the most
popular young society ladies in
Albany, had lost her life in the
cold waters of the Calapooia river
while in that stream bathing with
a number of other ladies. The
party had for the past ten days
camped at the Cline farm, two
miles above the city where,
under the chaperonage of Mrs.
Henrietta Brown, the young
ladies enjoyed outdoor life.
Every day they spent an hour or
two in the river, bathing, and
the sport was enjoyed to the full.
Wednesday afternoon the party
had been joined by a number of
visitors and the young women to
the number of 12, took their
daily bath in the river.
It seems that Miss Simpson
and another young lady had
gone down the rwer and had
floated over a deep hole, when
Miss Simpson realizing that she
was beyond her depth, told some
of her companions so. when she
suddenly released her hold on the
board, swayed a moment, and be-
ore help could reach her, fell
into the water, sinking imme
diately. Mr. Stewart came on
the scene about ten minutes after
the girl sank. He immediately
threw off his coat and dived into
the water, which at this point
was 15 feet deep. For fully 15
minutes he worked, but the mud
dy bottom of the river at this
point made it impossible to see
anything under the water and he,
despairing of finding the remains,
securing a grappling hook and
grappled for the body,, finally
locating and bringing it to the
surface.
The examination, showed that
no water had entered the lungs
of the unfortunate young lady.
This, coupled with the fact that
the young lady did not come up
after sinking the first time, and
that no air bubbles could be seen
where she went down, gave rise
to the belief that she suffered an
attack of heart failure, a disease
she was subject to for some time.
The Republican party is the
party that does things. In or out
of office, it has consistent policies,
and when in office acts as a unit
in fulfillment of its campaign
pledges. The Democracy very
seldom is able to get together suf-
hciently to obtain omce, and
when in power cannot contro
its own . membership sufficiently
to secure a fulfillment of the prom
ises on which it obtained office.
It is the party of the . permanent
opposition, composed of oppor
tunists, who trim their sails to
every breeze. The Republican
party is the party of the nation.
The Democracy is controlled now
by one section and again by
another. It has been on every
side ot the question. Its "prin
ciples" are borrowed from every
other party. Some of them are
so old as to have been outgrown
by other parties. Others are so
new as not yet to have passed the
stage of theory..

At the recent conference held
at Newport in which educators
in Indian schools of the Pacific
coast discussed the problem of
developing the young men and
women under their care, the tenor
of nearly the whole program was
directed toward the idea of spe
cial agricultural education.
Prof. J. B. Horner ably repre
sented the O. A. C. and spoke
on the need of keeping the young
Indian in touch with the agri
cultural schools. He urged that
those fitted be entered at the
college after leaving the Govern
ment' school. He pointed out
the work being accomplished at
the state college, and how it was
fitted to instruct the young In
dians about to go npon their
farms and make their living.
