7 JUDGE GRANTS EIGHT ! DIVORCES IN TWO DAVS The Display at State Fair Was Most Creditable of Any Says Supt. Jackson. Judge Galloway Adjourned the Term of Court Until To morrow Morning. EIGHT FIRST PRIZES WERE EASILY CAPTURED Booth Contained Articles Quality but the Quanity Was Lacking. of Continued from Tuesday, October 7 Granting eight divorces in two days he held court here, Circuit Judge Gal loway adjourned court yesterday af ternoon until tomorrow. The judge returned to Salem where he holds court today and will return here tomorrow to continue the intermittent session here during Viis week. Aside from granting the divorces Judge Galloway disposed of many oth er matters in his court, and by the end of the week will have his docket fairly well cleared up. The divorces the judge has granted are as follows: L. A. Messing against Dora Messing, H. H. Blough against Mabel Blough, Anna Watkins against Charlie Watkins, Charles Kolb against Elizabeth Kolb, Arthur Chrisman against Grace Chrisman, Clara Gro shong against Josephine Groshong, Myrtle Hearn against M. E. Hearn, George Murting against J. Murting. That Linn county had the most cred itable school exhibit at the state fair in any season, that quantity and not quality won for Marion, i'olk and Yamhill counties places over Linn county and that the Linn county ex hibit won eight first prizes, was the ! statement of County Superintendent W. L. Jackson this morning. Mr. Jackson had charge of the exhibit at the fair and is thoroughly elated over the success attending it. He was as sisted by School Supervisor Benner. "Considering all in all Linn county had the most creditable school exhibit at the state fair this year than in any season past, saw Lounty superimcn- , ,',,, ,, hv -,(1 " in nvihihil- wnil t .......... 1 .

L. Jackson. eight first prizes. They were on tur keys, geese, ducks and chickens. The general exhibit outranked the average oi the state and took fourth prize with out any special preparation. There was a big competition on canned fruits brides and bridegrooms the question of changing the name to "American Catholic Church" or merely "Ameri can Church," and the proposition to let the public into scssjons of the House of Bishops were the import- ami jellies and we won third place on ; - Vh&otat this. In mechanical devices we won third place. In prize money we won about $150 from the state and about $500 from the county. In quality we were not outranked but in quantity we were and this in my opinion is the cause of our losing to Marion, Polk and Yamhill counties, who were in order in winning the respective places. Each of tbesc counties had large ex hibits while ours was small. The ciualitv had nothing to do with the Episcopal church of the United States and Territory Beyond the Seas, when the meeting opened today ' at the Church of St. John the Divine. Because of the questions which will be considered and settled the convention which opened today is ex pected to be the most important ever held by the church. Perhaps the most important question to the church body will be whether the House of Jishops shall meet behind closed doors (By United Press Association) Albany, N. Y., Oct. 8. Governor Sulzer showed signs of extreme ner vousness today and his friends are worried by fears of his complete breakdown. Sulzer's lawyers are try ing to persuade him not to take the stand in his own behalf but he is ob stinate and insists upon telling his story to the impeachment court. Under cross examination at today's session, Louis Sareck'y, the governor's private secretary was forced into what were considered by the attorneys for the prosecution as damaging admis sions. He is still a good witness tor the governor to the extent of sticking to his story that he, and not Sulzer, should be blamed for any carelessness or misconduct in Handling tne suizer campaign money. It is generally con sidered as doubtful if the court will accept as true, his assertions that his employer knew nothing of any of the remarkable things the witness ac knowledged. He destroyed all cam paign records of receipts and expen ditures, as well as cancelled checks and the stubs connected with the case. The defense rested its case this af ternoon without calling the governor to the stand. . Through a hunting accident last Saturday, Henry Boyes, a 15-year-old Albany boy, will lose his left eye. The lad and a man he did not know were hunting China pheasants and were on on opposite sides of the Santiam ca- nal, near this city. A pheasant flew up between them and both fired. One shot from the other's gun hit young Boyes on the wrist and another lodged in the ball of his left eye. When the boy cried out the ft man who fired the shot crossed the canal to sec how badly he was hurt, but in his pain and ex- citement young Boyes did not ask the stranger's name.
