Former Vice-President Fairbanks
Tells of Personal Intimacy
W ith Martyred Pres-
laent-
; J ___a
With a deeply touching note of
personal intimacy, Charles War­
ren Fairbanks spoke in eulogy of
William McKinley at Centenary
Methodist church last night, and
held a large audience breathless­
ly attentive while he nifcounted,
tor nearly an hour, unwritten
passages in the life history o f the
martyred President, says Mon­
day’s Oregonian. As his voice
sank to a tragic note in the con­
cluding passage o f his address,
the emotions he stirred among
his bearers were at times audible.
Dignity, grace, nobility, modes­
ty, a high type o f patriotism and
charitable Christianity, were the
qualities the speaker outlined as
distinctively those of the slain
President. He reached the zenith
o f his glory, declared the speak­
er, when he withstood the as­
saults of a yellow press, which
impugned his patriotism and
valor because he would not rush
unprepared into a war with
Spain.
S e n s a t io n a l P r e s s S c o r e d .
“ And let me say that the most
debilitating influence in our Na­
tional life today is the unbridled,
sensational press. All other evil
influences together do not equal
it.” This parenthetical Temark
was greeted with applause.
“ William McKinley was my
friend, and 1 was his; he was
your friend,” said Mr. Fairbanks.
“ Twelve years ago we were at
the summit o f oup National pros­
perity and contentment, and our
prestige among nations was at
its greatest. Asperities o f one
section against another had dis­
appeared and we were emerging
from a war commanded by the
voice of Christian America, and
in which he had shown our fallen
foe C h r is t ia n magnanimity.
Then a storin burst, and a voice
was heard to say, “ It is God’s
way.”
Those were the dying
wrords of William McKinley.
“ He lived through some of the
most trying periods of our his­
tory, and was a part of them.
As a soldier in the Civil War,
President Hayes, who was his
commander, told me he looked
every inch a soldier.
E nd o f E st r a n g e m e n t
W is h .
“ Viewing the battlefield of An-
tietam with him, when he was
President, he told me that he felt
the crowning glory of his Ad­
ministration would be to bring
the estranged sections complete­
ly together. He never appealed
to prejudice, or passion and we
can learn from him that our
greatest danger is from class and
caste./ God. -help • the Nation
when Its President loves peace
less than war! McKinley was
our ideal President. He neither
was aloof from the people, nor
noisy and spectacular.”
Most graphic and beautiful
was the speaker's description of
the movement ofthe cortege from
Washington to Canton, when,
at every village,' the funeral train
passed between ranks of people
singing and bands playing the
dead President’s favorite hymn,
“ Nearer, My God, to Thee.” At
the conclusion o f the address the
congregation sang this as a clos­
ing selection.
THE DIGNITY OF LABOR
Abraham Lincoln was a “ hired
man.” His sister SArah “ worked
out’ ’ as a “ hired girl.”
Jim Hill was a section hand on
a railroad, and in the employ of
a packing company in St. Paul
earned 50 cents a day.
The list o f barbera w ho have
become famous would amaze
anyone not already familiar with
it, and there is a vast army o f
junk collectors who have made
enough money to travel in
Europe.
One o f these successful refuse
artists runs one o f the best
organized businesses in Central
Illinois.
It is a peculiar folly o f most
men and women to look down
upon those who render them the
most valuable service.
When Jesns Christ washed the
feet of his friends he tried to ex­
press the fundamental doctrine
o f His great philosophy, but no­
body understood it then, and it
is probable that very few under­
stand it today.
It is one of the absurdities of
life that we all stand in line eager
for a chance to take oar hats off
to any man with money enough
to loaf at public expense,, and
hold our noses high in the air
when we pass the man Dr woman
who washes our dirty shirts for
us..
, .
.K
It is a characteristic o f most
great men that they have never
hesitated to do any useful thing
when it was necessary.
The same “ hired man” whose
sister was a “ hired girl” was
found by ope o f his body guard,
when he was President o f the
United States, sitting on the
edge o f the bed, clad in his night­
ie, sewing a suspender button
on his pants.
This was not a freak o f great­
ness. It was an evidence o f it.
The highest ambition is the
desire to serve. It is a disgrace
to remain a street laborer, but it
is not a disgrace to be one.—Har­
lan Read.

Yamhill County Chautauqua
WILL OPEN ON SATURDAY, JULY 5, AT McMINNVlLLE AND
CONTINUE UNTIL THURSDAY, JULY 1STH
Chautauquas are not a money
making proposition, nor were
they ever intended to be, but the
man who first got the Chautau­
qua Idea into his head anfl car­
ried it out as a starter was a
public benefactor. In an associa­
tion of this kind a lot of whole­
some and instructive entertain­
ment is furnished the public at a
nominal cost, and to make it a
success somebody must sacrifice
time and d a lot o f - hard work
for the love o f the cause.
McMinnville is to be con­
gratulated in .tbatjsomehody ha«
been found who was willing to
6
make the sacrifice this year in
taking the management of this,
the first Chautauqua Assembly
ever attempted to be held in the
county.
•
A good program has been
provided and all who may at­
tend, are sure to be repaid for
the time spent. McMinnville is
close at hand and doubtless
many Newberg people will take
advantage o f this opportunity
to get a day or tw o off and
enjoy a series of good programs
o f entertainments.

SHOT AT BALLSTON jail.
Lou W . Davis Slays Mother-in-
law and Wounds a
Neighbor.
Dallas, Ore., June 30.—(Spe­
cial.)—In the little village of Ball-
ston, about nine miles northwest
o f Dallas, Lon W. Davis shot and
killed his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Eliza J. Stewart, this morning
and shot and morally wounded
Ben Agee, a neighbor.
Davis went to the Stewart
home at Ballston this morning
about 7 o ’clock and inquired for
his wife. Mrs. Stewart and her
husband, G. M. Stewart, were in
the house. Mrs. Davis was out­
side. Stewart had a revolver
and told Davis not to enter the
house or be would shoot. Dnvis
started for the door and went
inside. Stewart left the house
by a back door and went to a
neighbor’s for aid.
He secured the aid o f Ben A gee.
In the meantime Davis had been
told that his wife was outside.
He went out to get his wife and
they returned to the house to ­
gether. When Stewart returned
to the house with Agee they
found Davis, Mrs. Stewart and
Mrs. Davis together in the
kitchen.
D a v i § B e g in s S h o o t i n g .
As Stewart and Agee entered
Davis began shooting with a
.32-caliber automatic revolver.
The first shot struck Mrs. Stew­
art in the mouth and the bullet
ranged upwards and came out
at the top o f the head, piercing
the brain. Three shots struck
Agee, one in the shoulder, one in
the breast, penetrating the lungs,
and one in the back.
Though mortally wounded,
Agee aided Stewart in grappling
with Davis and together they
threw him and tied him. Davis
was beaten considerably in the
scuffle. Agee was rushed to a
Portland hospital.
Davis had been drinking this
morning. Information will be
filed against Davis charging him
with murder in the first degree,
but little hope of convicting him
is entertained here, as Davis has
an unbalanced mind. He was
released from the Slate Asylum
for the Insane about four months
ago.
W if e S ues f o r D iv o r c e .
About tw o years ago Davis’
wife Mattie M. Davis, began suit
for divorce, charging drunken­
ness. Davis had been a heavy
drinker. The suit unbalanced
his mind, weakened as it was by
drink, and he was sent to the
asylum. At the tifne he was ar­
rested on this charge, he was
carrying tw o loaded revolvers
with him and had made repeated
threats to kill the Sheriff, his
mother-in-law and father-in-law,
*
About tw o months ago Mrs.
Davis filed a new suit for divorce.
Davis had the idea that his wife’s
parents were to blame for the
trouble between hijn and his wife
and often stated that if it were
not for them that his wife would
come back to him.
FLOWER MISSION DAY
The Annual Flower Mission
program was given, Wednesday
25th, at the home o f Mrs. M at­
thews. On account o f the inclem­
ency of the weather the luncheon
was served in the dining room
instead of on the lawn.
A great number o f bouquets
were distributed, where needed
to the living.
A prog ram consisted o f ap­
propriate selections o f readings
and songs. One beautiful soag,
seemed to be made for the oc­
casion, was sung by Mrs. White-
ly, with Miss Vera Seely accom­
panying on the piano. These
are the words:
You can help a load to lighten
*
As you go;
Shedding smilea the way to brighten
As you go;
You may never know the taken
O f a kindly word that’a apoken,
You may cheer a heart that’s broken,
As you go.
You may fill the world with beauty,
As you go,
Every moment find some doty
As you go.
Let each day be filled with blessing.
Seek to comfort the distressing,
Joy your heart will be poeeeeaing,
As you go.
Tho’ the way may o ft be dreary,.
As you go.
Let your heart be never weary,
As you go,
Let your life with joy be ringing,
To the cross o f Christ still clinging,
In the darkest hour keep singing
Chorus.. .
!
Send out the sunshine as you pass along,
Seek some heart to brighten,
Cheer it with a song,
Little deeds o f kindness
Set the world aglow
Scatter them about you
As you go.
Sec'y.
