..JUNE .87 1895 ,m?EST IX ADEQUATE. The dispatches yesterday contained an account of what is termed a test of the efficacy of prayer, which should not convince any ono the least skeptic or strengthen or weaken the faith of the - most' steadfast Christian- Secretary Paget,? of the Free-Thinkers' society of Dallas, Texas, stipulated with Mrs, Sweeney, president of the W. C. T. U of that city, ttat after three months of prayer on her part if "his heart wore touched" he would publicly confess his belief lj-Godrnd- if-It -were - not then she would make a public declaration of her disbelief in a supreme- being.-. -This was agreed to - by both the parties, and the result will be noted. There is some equivocal meaning in tho words used about the heart beingM,'tduched;f or Influenced",' and ' must be of a very convincing - nature ueiure is win oe prooi 10 any one of a fact, the existence of which .hexlid.not believe before.. And, if a a i . 1 1 i . person has a firm and abiding faith in God, the . ruler of the universe, it would be a very narrow and contracted view to take that, if he did not, in " answer to individual supplication, give indisputable proof of his existence, it is not afact and simply a myth, the outgrowth of emotion and superstition. The belief "iu a God carries with it the idea of a being of supreme intelli gence, who ia absolutely . independent of all extraneous influences, and acts for himself in what "ho '.considers the best way that will insure the "greatest good to the inhabitants of this, and, perhaps, other worlds. It is no evi dence that there is no supreme ruler because he may deem it not right to answer every prayer that is offered to him by a sincere follower. " Such a be' ing, in the scalo of intellectual (lis crimination, would lie below that of loving '-fathers and mothers iu any country, civilized or uncivilized, and would destroy tno' notion of omnis cience inherent in the minds of all peoples. He would no longer be a God, but a creature, subject to the caprices of passion or affection. On the other hand, those who do not believe in De ity should not' for a moment entertain the thought that if there were a great and " all-powerful ruler of spirit and matter in all worlds he would conde scend to give to a single person uhques tioned proof of his existence, when there should be evidences of ,, the fact on every ; hand and through all ages. A reasonable man would not expect or desire inherent proof of a fact, of which others could not be cognizant, and the truth . of - which would be dependent alone on his unsupported testimony. Then there have been so many phenomena, inci dent upon emotional, nervous or hys -terical temperaments, regarding feel ings, or "touching the heart," that are reasonably accounted for on the extreme sensitiveness of certain or ganizations which create the sensa tions they feel' and express. If poor Mrs. Sweeney's faith is wrecked be cause God did not touch the heart of the skeptic, and if Paget's skepticism ia strengthened for the reason that the great and supreme ruler" of thenni- C1 SO IUU UVU UCQ1U IU OAJIQUiCUb MJ O L1L the feelings of this one man, it will not prove there is no Deity, or be of any material harm or benefit to the human race, other, than the parties di rectly interested. - Such a trial does not partake of the elements of the scientific proof of any fact, and can be classed only as a sen sational whim of sentimental creatures. Among a highly civilized people such ideas of God's caprices should not be ' entertained, and enough should be un derstood of his powers and wisdom to fill the mind with higher conceptions ui ma qualities aiiir-aiiiriauies. ,. xne . God of nature is great and good, omni - cient in mercy and wisdom, and exer cises discretion in answering prayer. Anything less than this is not deity, -and is not worthy of worship or ex treme reverence. ITEilS IN BRIEF. t From Saturday's Dollys The river is rising. ' : ' Police court very quiet these days.

A lecture will be delivered at the Methodist church in this city on "The Great American Conflict," or "How Our Youth Should be Educated." this evening by Dr. Ford, of Seattle. This is a subject in which all parents are interested, and should receive univer sal. attention. The Union Scout of June1 Cth pub' lished an illustrated edition' which was worthy of commendation. It is the intention of the publishers to continue mis advanced Btep in journalism and this should largely increase the pat ronage extended to t hat enterprisin, journal. From fishermen it is learned that the salmon run this year has been the smallest " for many seasens. A few chinook have been caught; but steel heads and silver sides have not put in an appearance yet. There has not been enough salmon - to supply the local demand, and the canneries have had little or nothing to do. Mr. Henrv Hudson and son returned Friday with wagrons ' loaded with 16,- 000 pounds of wool from Dayvillc, Thev were unloaded at Moody's ware house, and he will start in a few days with merchandise tor interior ueaiers.

Several persons at Dufur are prepar ing to spend tne summer vacation at the warm springs, on the . reservation. Five left yesterday and two will leave tomorrow. - These springs have-good medicinal qualities, and there are very eligible places for camping. Wool continues to arrive dailv from all portions of the interior, and the quality nas rareiy ever oeen equalled. Several buyers are in the market; but the highest price so far has been 9 cents. This may be increased as the season advances; but it cannot be def initely stated that wool will be much higher. - k -; Councillor Falkenberc visited the Cascade Locks last night, and will be tendered a reception by the camp of A n .Iiv.K . i present at Fraternity hall and rive thi grand counciller a hearty reception. Mr. Thomas B. Merry, well known in Oregon as a journalist, and formerly editor of the Inland Empire in this city, is now in lios Angeles, attached to tne editorial staff of the Itecord. Ho is enjoying the best of health, and few would take him to be 61 years of age- Carl Nickelsen, a former inmate of the reform school, was returned to that institution this afternoon. He has been under arrest for- several days, and this morning Judge Blakeley took cognizance of the case, and the com mitment was made out and. placed in the hands of Sheriff Driver. There were never better prospects for a fruit crop than at present.- All orchards are very thriftv. and peaches. plums and prunes show good growth. The season has been very favorable to all crops, and the yield of fruit, from all indications at present, will be un- ecedented in the history ot this citv ,nd vicinity. Salem Statesman: Noting the arrival of several thousand pounds of copper coins at Salem for use in making change the Portland Sun, arrant free silver, remarks that "it is getting to be pretty close picking at Salem also." Not at all. On the other hand, busi ness at Salem is like that of the raff- picker picking up. , ' Dan Cameron, a voung man about 29 years of age, committed suicide in Walla Walla Sunday by taking a dose of strychnine. He is described as a good-hearted honest fellow, but was a slave to the liquor habit. When sober, the Statesman says, he was a kind and dutiful son, and felt keenly tho sorrow and trouble that 'he had caused- his mother, . Trout Fishing-. Aside from the fruit crop and nalmnn industry trout fishing in the vicinity of The Dalles furnishes royal amuse ment to those inclined. Yesterdav was a warm day, and this may have been the cause that some fishermen re turned in the evening with well-filled baskets. At any rate, our friend, Mr. C. L. Phillips, never whips the stream with his fly hook that he is not victori ous, and June 9th was one of these oc casions. - Driving home . leisurely he took time to count 178 beautiful speck led fish in his basket, and his com panion had 78. This will make 256 less fish in Mill creek than there were Sat urday night; and the editor rejoices in this result, for he fed on succulent brain' food today. -'Mr:. Phillips is a disciple of Isaac Walton, and follow ing out the principles taught bv that earnest Advocate of angling he finds amusement in the vocation, and it also causes the milk of human kindness to flow -with -a stronger current in his manly bosom. . - - - . IXCK AT BATFtES. The Freaks of Fortune in the Dice Box ' and Baffles Are Not Always Accord ing to Oar Necessities or Needs. . The strange freaks ol fortune that, happen to those who take risks at games of chance range into the realm of mysterv, and cannot be explained by any rules of science, or philosophi cal deductions from cause and effect. In conversation with a man this morn ing, upon whose third finger on his left hand glittered a diamond in a ring that would be valued from $600 to $700, we learned some of the freaks of the fickle goddess. "I never won any thing in my life that I had any partic ular use for," he said, "and I am usually very lucky. That diamond ring cost me about $12, and when I threw the lucky number I had no more uso for it than for tho fifth wheel of a coach. Had arrived from the mines, and was spending the . winter in 'Frisco. Of course I had a sackful of dust that I intended to squander, and going into a saloon one day saw the ring on raffle, and took two chances. I threw the lucky number; but my fin gers were rough and large from' hand ling pick and shovel, and I could not wear it. The employment I have fol lowed the last few years has reduced the size, and now it fits my third fin ger. My next experience was throw ing dice for lady's elegant dressing case. I won it, and made it a present to my sister, who values it highly. Luck' again favored me in a raffle for a cub grizzly bear, and -1 procured a chain and took him to the house where I was lodging. A loose link in tho chain allowed tho grizzly to break out during the night, and the whole neighborhood were up in arms tho next morning. The sequel was that 1 sold the bear to a traveling troupe of showmen for $5, and it cost me $15. My last venture wa3 in a bicycle. Tho tickets cost me something over $9, and I sold the wheel before it was deliv ered to me for $75.. - This made up some of my losses oh former raffles; but I am determined not to risk the dice or the uncertainty of drawing the winning number except for something of which I am in absolute need. I have' no more use for diamond rings, dressing cases or grizzly bears, and am determined to reform as regards these gambling devices." He walked away with a woe-begone look on his countenance.and his experience proves that fortune does not always favor those who are in need, or even smile on the poor or unfortunate. FOR BONAN'S MURDERER A Boward of 810OO offered by the State of Idaho. The state of Idaho has offered a . re ward of $1000 for the arrest and con viction of the person or persons- who, on the night of May 13 last, murdered Thomas Ronan on his ranch about eleven miles below Caldwell. The offer of a reward was signed Tuesday bv Governor McConnell and duly countersigned by Secretary of State Curtis. It is a tempting bait, and will no doubt greatly stimulate the efforts of men who are accustomed to running down criminals. Thomas Ronan was a prosperous farmer who lived quietly with his fam ily on his ranch a few miles below Caldwell. .On the 13th of May a tramp stopped at the Ronan plaze and asked for someAing to eat. Ronan ordered him off the place. The tramp went away and the incident was soon for gotten. That night Ronan was awak ened by a sound as though an animal had become entangled in the, barbed wire fence. He arose and went out side. The next morning his dead body was found near the house. In his head was a frightful gash, and near the ghastly corpse was found an ax, which told the manner of the poor man's death. The news of the murder was flashed far and wide, and in the immediate neighborhood it created the greatest excitement. Mrs. Ronan told of the visit of the tramp, and the conclusion was at once jumped at that the fellow had returned in the night, and, scraping on the barbed wire fence to attract Ronan 's attention, lured his victim to his awful death. A posse scoured the country far and wide for the tramp, but no trace of him could be found. After several days had passed the neighbors began to talk of the atten tions that Ronan's hired man had paid to Mrs. Ronan, and in a short time the finger of suspicion was pointed in the direction of the hired man. Up to the present time no evidence of a tangible nature has been obtained so far as known. A SHOOTING AFFRAY. A Quarrel Result lh One Man Being Struck In the Face and Another Shot in the Leg-. Yesterday afternoon the hitherto quiet neighborhood of Mosier in this county was the scene of considerable excitement caused by an alternation between residents. So far as the facts can be learned it appears that a dis pute arose over a pile of wood between Mr. Powers, the proprietor of the store in tne town, and a lamiiy by the name oi ilelds, each claiming the owner ship. Mr. Fields and Mb two sons came to the store to take the wood away on a wagon, and to this Mr Powers objected. Hot words followed and resulted in blows. During the altercation ' one of Mr. Fields' sons struck Mr. Powers in the face with rock, cutting a severe gash in the cheek several inches in length. At this Powers drew a revolver and fired. the ball striking the father in the leg as ne was running away. These are tno iacis as near as we could acquire ySSeiJi?.!!' ? Tl and different evidence. As the mat ter is in the process of adjudication we do not desire to publish anything that would prejudice either the side of the state or the defense. Damon and Pythias. The drama of Damon and Pythias will be placed on the boards atthe opera house next Friday evening, by Air. w imam Kasmus, assisted by mem bers of the Home Dramatic club. Mr, Rasmus is an artist in dramatic delineation, and under , his excellent drill the members of the club who take part in the drama are acquiring a de gree of proficiency which is usually only accorded to professionals. The drama is classical, and the principal parts have been taken by leading ac tors Garrick, Macready, McCullough Warde and others. It will be per- iormen in excellent style, as the char acters have been well assigned, and every part will be acted almost to per fection. . . The City Brewery Burned. The Prineville Eeview says: "About half-past 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon the fire alarm was sounded. It needed no one to tell where the fire: was: for on looking up Main street the brewery building, just across Ochoco, was plainly to be seen a mass of flames. Never before did our fire department show up to better advantage. It was tne general comment that there never was a fire absolutely squelched quicker than the one Thursday. Two streams were put on in less time than it takes to tell it,saving the cellar with its con tents and a portion of the main build ing. Ihenre caught from the drying apparatus, it having been constructed in a defective manner.." ' New Pasture Grass. Hon. George Herbert, brought down from Grant this afternoon, a. specimen of what is claimed to be a . Russian grass, the seed of which was planted this spring on ground that bad not been irrigated, and the growth is over three feet high. The yield is equal to alfalfa, and is said to be exceP"Vfeed for cattle. If this could be fWoduced on the dry regions of Eastern Oregon it would furnish pasturage for .vast herds. - It resembles California, cheat very much, and that Is considered one of the most nutritious grasses. , Complaints Against Bheopmen. Klickitat county farmers are up In arms against sheepmen driving their flocks to summer range through their land. They say that frequently . sheep break down the fences and destroy the crops. ' One man this morning In formed us that a band had broken into his corn field, and destroyed every blade of the cereaL We are satisfied that flockzaasters do not desire to do any injury to citizens of Washington in driving their sheep to the summer range at the foothills of Mt. Adams; but it is impossible . to control the herds at all times, and where one leads the band will follow. Summer range Js very necessary, and where this i3 uncultivated land, in the mountains, no one should feel aggrieved thereby; but herders should exercise great care that the flocks are not allowed to de stroy grain or other crops. CBOF-WEATHEB BEFOBT. In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending June 10, 1805. Weather Light scattered showers occurred on the oth, 7th and 8th, not sufficient in most localities to lay the dust. The - maximum temperature ranged from 54 to 84 degrees; the min imum, from 44 to 58 degrees, except south of the Blue mountains, where it was 36 to 40 degrees on four nights of the week. The weather has been cloudy" to partly cloudy, with variable winds. Frosts occurred In sections on the 6th, but no damage was done. Crops The weather has not been favorable, except on Sunday and Mon day, to rapid growth, but favorable to a more healthy stand and to rooting. Owing to the large acreage of volun teer and spring grain in Wasco, Sher man', Gilliam and Morrow counties, the wheat prospects are not encouraging. The correspondent at Clem, Gilliam county, reports "grain is looking badly; some of it is burning." From Morrow county comes this report: "In a large part of Morrow county and a part of Gilliam county, the crops are almost a failure; in some parts there will be no harvest. Fall-sown wheat is heading out about one foot high, and spring grain, it is safe to predict, will not shade the ground; fully 50 per cent, of the grain in this section is spring grain." Similar reports come from Wasco, Sherman and Gilliam counties, though tho most discourag ing from Morrow county. In Umatilla and Union counties fall-sown wheat is in fine condition, but spring grain is poor and will not yield over one-half a crop. Heavy and general rains, with an absence of hot weather will materi ally benefit current conditions. The Hood River correspondent re ports two carloads of strawberries are now leaving there daily for tho east. The strawberry crop in the lower part of the valley is about harvested. Cherries are now ripe. The crop is a full one, especially of Royal Anns and Black Republicans. The fruit crop throughout is in excellent condition and promises large returns. Haying is in progress and average yields are being secured. In the counties of Crook, Klamath, Lake, Harney and Grant the season is very backward. These counties have an elevation of about 3000 feet, and they have had frost am' ice during the past week, injuring vegetation. Sheep- shearmg continues, ana neavy neeces are secured. The range grass is good, and stock presents a prime condition. Grassphoppers are present in large numbers, and are doing damage in Morrow and Gilliam counties. They moved northward from Harney county. The general -cereal crop conditions are not of the most encouraging char acter throughout Eastern Oregon. Rain will help things wonderfully. There are no indications, at the pres ent writing, for rain within the next few days. B. S. Pague, Director. CIRCUIT COURT. Proceedings Noted on the Law, Equity and Criminal Dockets. . . LAW.
