The jury in the trial of young Win. Michael, charged with the murder of Francis Phillips, brought in a verdict of manslaughter. Sentence has not been pronounced at this writing. Taken altogether the verdict of the jury is ahout the rignt one. l lie boy was, evidently, born with an unbal anced intellect and a stunted moral nature, and has but little idea of right or wrong. iTe, of course, is ' not al together to blame for his condition, and his ease is one that calls for tho particular attention of our law makers and philanthropists. Jfo needs re straint and proper teaching so that tho destructive and murderous in stincts, which are natural with him, may bo subdued if possible. If this cannot be done, other victims will fall by his hand and the little sense that he is possessed of will not save him from tho gallows. Kloutriu ISIttcu.

Hin M. K. Coiifoninct-. Tho Methodist Episcopal conference for this district opened its sixth annual session at La Grande last week. Wo have been unable to get a report of tho proceedings. There seems to bo some dissention among tho ministers prevent, some of whom havo preferred charges against 'each other. Brother Irwin was tried on coveral serious charges, but with what result wo havo not learned. Tho Journal says : "Among oilier interc.-ting subjects to come up will bo charges anil coun ter charges made among tho brethren themselves, tho substance of which is sufficient to lead tho wordly man to believe that there is guile in tho ranks of tho godly as well as tho ungodly. Fortunately there are no racy newspa per men to paint the pictures that might be drawn at the examinations and expose their crude work every morning to an unsyni)athi.ing public. La Grande is yet a small town, there fore most of tho deliberations of tho body will bo lost in obscurity." Tim O. K. .V X. I.cnhu.
