JUDGE ATjTON B. P A R K E R A N D H IS P R E S ID E N T IA L BOOM.
Judg« Pa: k*r. whose boom for the Democratic presidential nomination is now weO
ander way all over the country, is chief iudçe of the court of appeals of New York state,
the highest judicial office in the gift of the Empire State.
L Y ON S
SENTENCED
By Judge Hamilton at Eugene
To Hang April 17 Next.
Q u i c k Justice
Just now the selection of a place
for holding tbe republican con
gressional convention in which to
select a candidate to succeed the
late congressman ToDgue is being
considered by politicians.
Salem,
and Eugene seem to he rivals in the
race for convention honors and in
this particular contest no trouble
should be experienced in making
the selection, Eugene being tbe
most central and desirable place in
ever particular for holding this im
portant convention. W ith a late
single exception— the renomination
of Congressman Tongue at Rose-
burg last spring— these conventions
have invariably been held at points
in the north end of tbe district. It
is therefore proper that the forth
coming congressional convention be
held at Eugene.

THE OLD RELIABLE DRUG STORE
O lympia , March 8— Christ Benson,
the murderer of Jailer Morrell, at
Olympia last Sunday night was
captured last night, and is again in
his sell at Olympia.
Benson was found in a deserted
cabin two miles west of town. He
offered no resistance when caught.
A mob surrounded the jail, with
loud cries of ‘ H ang him! hang him!”
but every precaution was
taken
against violence.
M hen telling his
story the
murderer cried like a child.
His wanderings tallied very well
with the newspaper reports. He
has several times been in the hands
of men looking for him, but let him
go after looking at his face.
He was in Tacoma half a day aud
then returned to Olympiu.

The Benefit of Change.
IVe are like house plants:
We
need a change of soil now aud then
to he replanted. New scenes, new
experiences, new surroundings— a
change of climate, dry air instead
of moisture, sunshine in place of
cloud. This is sometimes essential
to health. There is conditions near
at hand that are better than Europe
can offer. Take a month or two in
California. Plant yourself for a time
where there are no irritations, where
the hotel is beyond criticism, the
landscape pleasing, and where warm
sunny weather invites to walks and
drives. Pure aud dry air, and the
increased electric influences

England, Canuda, Australia and all
other countries where Methodism has
•i foothold will have bicentenary
events.
On June 12. the Sunday nearest to
Wesley’s birthday, commemorative ser
mons will I m * preached in every pulpit
in the denomination. The educational
department of the church has prepared
.1 special service introducing scenes
from the life of Wesley, and it will be
presented by all the schools of the de
nomination on children’s day, the sec
nod Sunday in June.
John Wesley was born in Epworth.
England, on June 17, 1703. He came of
i long line of ministers of the Church
of England. He early showed sigus of
religious zeal and organized a class of
young men for si»ecittl work. Among
them were his brother Charles, after
ward the famous hymn writer, aud
George Whitefield, destined to become
a great evangelist. In 1734 Governor
Oglethorpe took out to Georgia his fa
tnoua colony of debtors, spendthrifts
and adventurers, and Jobu Wesley ac
copied his invitation to accompany him
as missionary to the colony and the
Indians.
A fter remaining in this country two
years aud four months he returned to
England, and in 1730 the Wesleyan
church was organized. In 1773 Francis
Anbury was sent over to organize the
church in the Fnitcd State*.
Tbe honor of holding tbe first cele
bration commemorative of Wesley is
chi ¡lilt'd by New York U m i s c it was
in that city that the first service of the
Methodist Kpis<*oprtl church in Ameri
on was held. It was in 1700 that Bar
bara Il«*«k ami Philip Embury held ti e
first service in Embury's house and in
1767 that the rigging loft in Wil

year the lot* now occupi<*d by the old
John street chuivli were bought, and
tb * Wesley chapel was d»*di<ated be
