THEY ARE COOPED
Holy Rollers Sent-to the
Asylum.
L,rHlleld,tlie"Aiotle"lii Hid
ingA Filthy Oiitlit Land
ed at Lnt.
A Corvallis dispatch under date of
May 3, says that "Apostle" Cref
fleld's wife and Sophia Hartley,
aged 18, daughter of Lwis Hartley,
the mining man, were committed to
the asylum today Both were roam
ing the streets barefooted and bare
headed. Mrs. Creffield is a daught
erof O. V. Hurt, of Corvallis. at
whose house Creffleld started the
sect known as the Holy Rollers, and
where he was harbored for several
weeks while the R illers were at
their height of "success." Shortly
after the woman's marriage to the
self styled "apostle," determined res
ideals of Corvallis took Until eld and
his partner, Brooks, through the
streets of the town one night, and
then covered them with tar and
feathers There is a reward of $100
for the capture of Cnffield, who
about two weeks ago disappeared
without leaving any trace behind
him.
The Corvallis Gazette gives a little
history of the "Holy Roller" outfit,
from which we take the following:
The Hjly Rollers here, through
their prophet Creffield have Just re
eeived enlightenment in the way of
several messages fr m Heaven. One
is that all believers must go bare
footed, bareheaded and not braid or
adorn their hair.
Urana Seeley, an orphan, wa9 ar
retted here Thursday on a warrant
issued by Ler sister, Edna V. Seeley,
who lives In Oregon City. The girl
is only about 16, and very pretty.
The Rollers have had her under
their Influence for some time and
would have caused her ruin.
Her sister tried by every othe'
mens to net her awBy, when she
had herself appointed guardian and
took her by force.
It Is the intention to have the girl
placed in the Boys' and Obis' Aid
Society, that she may be kept away
from the Influence of the Holy Roll
ers. The last message (he Holy Rollers
have received is that all shall go to
the heathen Id Africa as mission
aries. There is a strong sentiment in
favor of stopping the practices of the
Holy Rillcrs, even if heroic meas
ures have to be adapted, and some
thing probably will be done, for
they are a menace to young women,
and their purpose seems to be prin
cipally to get girls under their con
trol and influence.
Miss Edna Seeley Is a nice looking
young woman. She says her par
ents are dead and there are three
sisters, one, the oldest, aged about 21
years, being now with the Holy
Rollers near Corvallis. She sobbed
bitterly when she told the story of
her doubles, and when her young
sister was committed to the care of
the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society she
became radiantly happy, as she felt
that the child was now safe from the
vicious practices of the Holy Rollers.
She came up from Oregon City to
Albbny on ThursUay and filed a pe
tition with County Judge Palmer
asking that her sister be tauen from
(he Holy Rollers and placed in the
care of the Boys and Oirls Aid So
ciety of Portland. The judge at
once issued a warrant for her arrest.
Sne was found with several others in
a house on the Linn county side of
tlie Willamette opposite Corvallis,
where some of the Rollers reside.
At the trial, several members of the
sect denounced (he movement in
scathing terms and told of the un
speakable aclions of (h leaden.
When the girl herself was asked if
s!e had anjthirg to say, che was
mute, and Judge Palmer ordered
hpr committed to the Boys' and
Girls' Aid Society.
The girl was brought to town
bareheaded as'she had destroyed her
hit according to divine revelations
commanding such a course. Her
sister a.-ked permission to comb the
child's hair and this was given and
the county judge also ordered Miss
Edna (o buy a hit for her sister.
Deputy Sh'r'ff Munkers reports
that in tbp house where he found
the girl no furniture was to be seen,
that the house was baie, and the oc
cupants appealed (o be dazed or on
a verge of insanity.
The lai-t scene in the Holy Holl
er drama was enacted Saturday
when Frark Hurt and his wife M l
lie were sent to (he Insane Ayluin
at Salem by the Linn coun(y court
Hur('a lather was the principal
witness. The (estimony showed
that the parties refused to work and
that they destroyed all their good
clothing and other property by fire,
neglec(ed (heir persous and general
ly showed Insanity.
The young man was formerly a
salesman. He appeared in overalls
saying he hud burned his good cloth
ing on orders from God, and bad also
destroyed a new bicycle for the
same reason.
His wifa had destroyed her cloth
ing. She was formerly a captain In
the Salvation Army, then took up
with Apostle Creffi id and married
young Hurt.
(Jueeu Item Ice I.
The May day festivities held on
the college campus, Saturday, at
McMinnvill, were attended by sever
al huudred people. At 10 o'clock
the procession, consisting of Queen
Bernlce, the May pole dancers and
the Queen's attentants and pages, be
gan tbe march from the main col
lege building around tbe campus to
the place of coronation under the old
college oak. The coronation took
place at the foot of (he throne.
President A. M. Bruinback read
the oath of office, which Queen Bern
ice took. She then knelt and the
crown was placed upon her head by
Miss Edna Hudson, one of her at
tendants. She was then proclaimed
Qieen of Miy, and as she ascended
(o (he throne a mighty cheer o
greeting arose from the assembled
throng.
The Queen's heralds then came
forth and anuounced the mandates
of the Queen. Following this tbe
May pole dancers sang the May song
and trooped out to the May pole,
which was wound with cardinal and
white. The winding of the pole was
exceptionally well executed and
elicited many rounds of applause
from these assembled.
Miss L) irothy Hamblin gave a de
lightful violin s tlo, which was fol
lowed by the address of the day by
Rev . F. II. Adams. The morning's
exercises closed with a piano duet by
the Misses Sears and Kennedy.
At 2 o'clock the Qj en announced
the Olympia games and ordered all
loyal subjects to immediately as
semble on the athletic field, where
the McMinnville track team won.
The Weather.
The past week has beea too cool tor
rapid growth, heavy rains have oc
curred in the coast counties, and in
portions of (he eastern and the south
ern sections of (he State. Light
frosts occurred Monday morning in
Douglas, Jackson and Josephine
counties, and a hard frost was report
ed in Umatilla county and a few oth
er localities Saturday morning. These
frosts, togedier with those of the pre
vious week, have done some damage
ti (he fruit, bul Just how much can
Dot yet be ascertained. It is bellev
ed that cherries and Italian prunes
have suffered (he most, and that pea
che,pears, s(rawberries,pe(He prunes
and apples have generally escaped
Injury. The soil Is in excellett con
dition for plowing, and this work has
proceeded rapidly. Fall wheat, bar
ley and oats continued to make good
advancement and spring grain is
coming up to good stands. Hops are
well up on the (wine, and their cul
tivation Is being pushed. Early
planted gardens are coming up nice
ly and (he soil Is being prepared for
late garden (ruck. Pastures and
stock continued to improve and the
flow of milk In the dairy districts is
iucreaslng. Sheep shearing is gener
al, but reports regarding the clip
have been (oo few to make an esti
mate regarding the yield.
When the British steamship In
drasamna arrived in port at Astoria,
Saturday, a large crowd went down
to the lower har'-or and boarded her
to see the geisha girls that were re
ported to be on board, but they were
disappointed, as the enly female
Japanese passenger was a woman
who Is a performer on her way
t (he St. Louis Fair. Arrange
ments had been made (o take on 2'0
of these girls at Yokohama, but at
the lat minute the customs officials
intervened and (hey were Ift to
await the sailing of (he German
steamship Nieodema. The vessel
contained a good-fiz'd menagerie,
the property of Captain Craven. It
Includes a Bengal (igar, salamanders,
dozens of monkeys and Japanese
poodle, a pair of Ibis, goats, porcu
pines and others. The geisha girls
will be employed In tbe Japanese
department during the exposition.

YOU .ilOULD REGISTER
It 3Ieans 100,001) Votes
at the Election
Ami a ISepublicnn Majority of
One -Filth Tluit
Milliliter.
The Hrst luty.
Every man In Oregon who pro
fesses to be a Rpiitlica', a support
er of President Roosevelt and a wish
er for Republican success in Novem
ber has one paramount duty for the
two weeks remaining in May, and
that Is to bestir himself to get Re
publicans to register. If this is not
done, little else is worth while. If
(his Is not done, (he great result
hoped for In June cannot be accomp.
lished. You might as well try to
build a house from the roof down as
to win a great vic(ory for President
Roosevelt In June without first get
dog the 100,000 necessary votes reg
Istered. May we not impress this
duty upon Republican leaders and
Republican newspapers throughout
the state? The old days of buying
votes are past; but the reform legis
lation of which the registration law
forms a part imposes a new obliga
tion upon the intelligent and honest
citizen. This obligation is one of
political activity in all proper ways.
Speeches and rallies are necondary to
the actual work of getting the vote
out; and the vote cannot be got out
unless it is registered between now
and May 15.
It is a public duty of every citizen
of Oregon to cast bis vote in the No
vember election. No matter how
he votes, his vote should be record
ed, one way or the other. There Is
an opportunity now, lasting (ill May
15, for registration at the office of (he
County Clerk. At that date (he
books will close, not to be opened
again before the November election.
Everybody wants to vote for Presi
dent. Everyone should vote. It Is the
patriot's privilege as well as duty.
A heavy vote will be the best ad
vertisement Oregon can send out.
The vote of 1900 was 84, 000; in 1902
it was 00,000. This year it should
be 100,000. Qualify yourself to vote
by registering, and don't delay.
Regisier now. Pordand Oregonian
Registration of voters Is very slow
In every county the same s(ory Is (old
the tardiness of the voters to come in
and regi-ter (heir votes with the
county clerk. This Is a most lm
portant matter, for no man will be
allowed to vote at the June election
or at (he president' election next
November unless be Is either reg
istered or proves his residence by the
iffidavitaof at least six household
ers. This latter course Is extremely
cumbersome, and at times Impossible
ol accomplishment, and many voters
lose their franchise at every election
for (heir neglect to register. It is not
only the right but the duty of every
citizen (o vote at the election, fir on
ly in that way can a government of
the people and by (be people live. It
Is therefore highly important that the
citizens register, a thing that is ho
easy of accomplishment that it is
hard to conceive why so many neg
lect If. Registration is free, as is vot
ing, but swearing in a vote at the
polls Is not only sometimes difficult,
but often impossible, and always dis
agreeable. Voters, register before the
15th of May and so save your vote.

I'reees Prune Crop.
Tbe prune crop of Linn county
will be almost an entire failure this
year, according to an orchardis( In
AlbanyHerald. Frost that visited the
valley last week came at a very in
opportune time for the orchards
The cold weather that held on uutil
an almost unprecedented late date
for the valley had kept the fruit
back until on-hard ists were confident
of escaping the spring frosts that
usually catch the fruit In March, if
at all. But the warm weather dur
ing the first week of April brought
the fruit out rapidly, and when the
cold rains came again, fruit of every
description was in full blossom. The
heavy frost often days ago found the
fruit in full blossom and did much
damage.
The prune trees were all loaded
with blossoms, which had begun to
fall. A close examination vt the
trees reveals now that although the
embryo fruit within the blossom is
green, yet the fruitstem leading from
(he limb of ihe (ree is turning yel
low. This Is said to mean that (he
fruit will drop from the treo just as
soon as the prune becomes large
enough to add weight to the stem.
The dead stem can not bear up any
load .
The statement of the prunegrower
Is that at least three-fourlhs of (he
prunes are affected In this way, and
that orchardists will do well to save
one-fourth of this year's prune crop.
As prunes constitute the greater part
of the fruit crop of the county, (he
loss will fall heavily upon fruit
growers in (his part of the valle.
Pears are affected in the same way.
The young pears were jusi bcgln
ing to form when the frost came and
were hit Just as hard as the prunes.
Apples are looking well at this
time. They were not affected so
seriously by the late frost, and the
trees are now covered with blossoms
that look healthy and give every
promise of developing into fruit of
Oregon's usual excellent varieties.
This crop will, however, depend
largely on the weather during the
next two weeks. Another frost
such as that of recent date, would In
jure the apple crop.
A continuation of the present
weather conditions, with perhaps a
little change toward a warmer (em
perature, is what fruitgrowers In
Linn county want. This would In
sure a good crop of apples, and per
mit tbe saving of a partial crop of
prunes.
To Cure Mange.
Salem, Or., April 28. Tbe dis
covery of a sure cure for mange
seems destined to make the firm of
Krebs Bros, famous, even more than
has their bop business. Conrad
Krebs, to whom is due the credit for
the discovery, is constantly besieged
by letters from stockmen, asking for
particulars about (he preparation and
mode of administering (he (reatment,
so in order to avoid the necessity of
answering so many persoi al letters
in regard to the case, he agreed to
make a statement for publication.
Regarding the method of treat
ment, Mr. Krebs said; "First the
hair should be clipped, (hen wash the
horse with soap and (epld water; dis
solve from one-half to one pound of
blue vitrol in one gallon of water, and
apply the same three times, two days
to elapse between each application.
This will drive (he lice from under
the surface of the skin, then use a
sponge to apply the coal oil, giving
the horse a good bath, and after the
lice are all killed mike two applica
tions of lard.
"We have cured all our horses, and
during the treatment have observed
that after the application of blue vit
rol water, the lice come to the sur
face from beneath the xkln. if il
was no( for (he fict that a new crop
of lice might come out, one applica
tion would be sufficient.
"We don't care what Dr. Kooler or
Dr. McLean, the veterinary surgeons,
call the disease. They claim mange
Is caused by parasites. However,
those parasites look very much like
lice. We consider it absurd to kill
any horse affected with that disease
because it can be cured In from five
to ten dsyrf.

The IMrect Primary Law.
Like as a gambler regards the fel
ony bill, so does the patty boss look
upon the direct primary. The
movemeut look lug to this new meth
od of nomination, through the In
itiative, need expect no support or
countenance from either of the polit
ical outfits in the city of Portland
which look upon the Republican
party of the state as an institution
devised and maintained for their
own behoof and emolument.
It is up to the people. They, and
(hey alone, without consultation
with political "leaders," but acting
on their own instance, and undeter
red either by hope of reward or fear
of punishment, must carry this re
form through. They must sign the
IKtition. They must come out in
June and declare for the direct pri
mary. Then it will be carried, and
placed beyond the power of com
mitters to nullify or pervert. It
matters not what professions may be
made. The machine perfers to se
lect its own nominees. Oregonian.
Takes a Shot at Porter.
Gaston, Yamhill county, has been
shaken and rather amused by a serio
comic shooting affair that occurred
there last Saturday night. That the
person who handled the gun was a
woman had added to the clatter of
tongues, and as everybody in the
small town knows (ho persons con
cerned and the incidents that led up
to the (rouble, Porter, the local
blacksmith, is receiving more than
ordinary attention because hit was
shot at by his divorced wife.
Several months ago Porter, who
is a man G2 years old, was divorced
from his comely wife of 35, and he
took (o living in his shop next to
the house of his wlfo. She had the
custody of (heir four children.
Though the woman refused to have
anything further to do with him, he
persisted In troubling her and show
ed himself to be Insanely jealous
He watched her constantly and
hampered her actions loan annoying
extent. Especially wbea he had
been drinking he took on his watch
dog attitude, and at such times he
often trit d to reach her.
On account of his persistent atten
tions to his former wife, he has been
bound over to keep the peace several
times, being allowed to leave Jail
several weeks ago on flOCO bail.
Immediately afterward he began his
persecutions, and she, wearylDg of
the law's inadequate measures, tied
him hand and foot. Since then he
has been a very meek member of the
community.
But Saturday night he gathered in
some Dutch courage and attempted
to force an entrance to the house of
the woman who had once shared
everything with him. He Was mot
at (he door, not with a cord this
time, but with a dangerous-looking
gun, which exploded In his face
twice before he escaped. When the
woman was questioned regarding
her vlo!en( means of protecting her
self, she said:
"1 have had enough of him, but 1
guess he will leave me alone for
awhile now." Neither shot took
effect on the amorous blacksmith.

to the hundreds of people who
thronged Forest Park. However,
I notwithstanding that the public was
barred, there were a few more favor

Frank Hurt and wife, Mollie, of
Holy Roller fame, were taken to
