' Butcher, - Democratic can didate for Representative in Congress, Second District, stands at the head of the legal profession In- Eastern Oregon. His law practice In Baker City Is probably greater than : that of any other practi tioner in that section of the state. . Mr. Butcher Is a Virginian by birth and a gentleman by profession that is to say, a nrat-class cltisen wherever be Is found. Ho was born on his father's farm in 195S and spent his youth in school and aa a school teacher in his na tive state and State of Missouri. In 1883 he landed In Idaho with a railroad out fit and was employed In grading at Saphonls, a station on the Oregon Short Line. He abandoned this, however, for school teaching, studying law the while, until 188S, when be was admitted to the bar in Walla Walla. He soon thereafter removed to Umatilla County, where, at Pendleton, he opened a law office on May 18, 1886, with three books and $40. He was In debt at tha time in the sum cf 1290. 1 .; 1 V ', . W.. F. BUTCHfeR. This he soon paid off, and in 1890 located in Baker City, where he has since re sided. In 1883 he was a candidate for Presidential Elector. In 1893 he was ap pointed Alde-de-Camp, with rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, on the staff of Governor Pennoyer, which position he held until July, 1899, having served on the staffs of Pennoyer, Lord and Geer. In 1896 the Baker County Democratic convention nominated him for representative against his protest and wishes. This was a three-cornered fight. In which he received 10 votes more, than the Republi can candidate, the Populist candidate be. ing. elected by a plurality of 75 votes. In this campaign he received practically all the labor vote in Baker City, and the town was at that time at least (00 Re publican. He carried every precinct In the city by handsome pluralities. From a penniless boy--one whose par ents were, financially ruined by the war ot the rebellion Mr. Butcher has fought his way up to a plane of affluence. He is a man of the 'people. He is a man of energy. He is a man- of brains. YEAR'S WORK DONE. The annual . conference of the Free Methodists of Oregon was concluded Saturday.

AN ODD WILL LONDON, May 27.-A wealthy woman named Sllva recently died at Llbaon and left her entire property to a rooster. She was a fervid spiritualist, a," believer In the transmigration of souls, and Imagined that the soul or her dead husband bad entered the rooster. 'She caused a special fowl house to be built, and ordered her servants to pay extra attention to their "master's" wants. The disgust of her relatives over the will caused the story to become public, and Jawsuit might have followed, had not one of the heirs adopted the simple expedient of having the wealthy rooster killed, thus becoming himself the next of kin.' CAI1DIDATB FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF PUB- ' L!C INSTRUCTION. Parents who send small children to the public aehools will appreciate the position ' taken by W. A. Wann, Demo crktlo pandldate for Superintendent of Public Jnstructidn. Mr. Wann announces himself as' strongly opposed to "cram ming", the infantile brain until the child la almost ready for the insane asylum. The thought of pupils being compelled K to work In school all day and study at home L'at nlcbt la so abhorrent to the gentleman that he announces this as one of the changes that should obtain in the schoolrooms of Oregon. He says it is Im- W,. A. WANN. possible for v children to carry so many studies at one time, except at the ex pense of health, and that many of them should be' held In abeyance for a' little time until: the small scholars have attained ' more strength. Mr. Wann la a man of superb educa tion. He baa for several years been a teacher In the Monmouth Normal school and its secretary since 1894. SOCIALISM THE REMEDY So Says Rev. J. Stitt Wilson, the Lecturer. Rev. J, Still Wilson spoke Sunday night in tha A. O. TJ. W. Hall on "Socialism the Moral Isa,ue of the Age." He spoke to a large audience, many being unable to get seats. An unusually large per cent of ' the audience was young men who sshow a great interest In Socialism. Mr. Wilson began, his address by saying that it was generally understood that at first when mankind . was in a primitive state man did not know anything about himself. Until 300' years ago men were still very ignorant of the human body, but about that time the doctors began to dissect and study the human organism, with the result that they began to treat disease in a natural manner. Previous to that, plague after plague swept peo ple from the earth. , Men, women and children, he said, are still being swept from existence by plagues sweat shops, unceasing contest with poverty, licen tiousness and greed. And like the plague strlckcn pooplef old, they blame it on the Lord or the devil. But about 60 years ago the doctors, the Socialists, began to dissect and examine the body ot society and this study has lead to the same result as the study of the human body, that these social dis eases are the. result of ignorance of the needs and true workings of the social body. Before they studied the body 200 'years ago the doctors used to bleed people to death to make them live. The same remedy is used today to cure the social diseases, and the working classes who form the body politic are bled by the trusts and Government that, they may live. , . That's our present system called pros peritybleeding labor to help It Treason In a kingdom consists in tak ing unjust advantage of the king; In a republic treason consists In taking un just advantage of the kings 1. e., the peo ple. Trusts, combines and bribed legis latures are treasonable In that they aim flt-.tbe destruction ofthe king the peo ple. They are the true Anarchists and traitors. Socialists are benefactors, be cause they proceed to study the social body and then as the wise doctors of to day, they proceed td tell how to take care of that body, keep It clean and free from disease. Mr. Wilson is a magnetic speaker and convinces all by his clearness and earn estness. He will speak again next Fri day, Saturday and Sunday In Portland. THE ERIE RAILROAD Beginning on June 15 next, will Inaugu rate a new limited train service between Chicago, New York and Boston, leaving Chicago at 10:30 every morning and ar riving In New York at 8:3Q the next after noon, with a Boston sleeper reaching there the. second evening. Travelers go ing East will find In this train everything that comfort and luxury can suggest or demand Pullman drawing-room sleeping cars of the latest type, unequaled dining car service, with meals at popular prices, and fast time over a track made perfect with rock ballast and made safe by the operation of the block signal and inter locking system. If you have not seen the beautiful val leys of the Susquehanna and Delaware rivers traversed by the Erie, you have missed one of the most delightful sections of the East.

Thereon SS. Fell, John R. Dodson, Wal ter - P.' Fell, Arthur Babb and several others left Portland today for Seattle, whence they will sail' on the Steamer Cottage City for Alaska. They sent by rail from this point la tons of machinery, S tons of provisions and 4 tons of hay and feed. These were purchased In Fort land; but must be shipped from Seattle, for the reason that there are no steamers plying between this point and Alaska. They go to. the .Tanana region to de velop the placer mining- property of the Mastodon Mining Company. During the winter Mr. T. E. Fell has drawn plans for. and has constructed the most com plete outfit for placer mining ever shipped to Alaska or the Klondike. The company owns one mile of claims up -and down Mastodon Creek, and the apparatus which they are taking will enable them to work out the entire pay streak very rapidly. The apparatus works somewhat upon the principle of the bottomless steam shovel, combined with slicing the dirt after It has been raised 18 feet above the surface of the ground. The 'company owns the water rights extending from the foot of their holdings to the glacier at the head of Mastodon Gulch. The supply of water Is unfailing. Bald Mr. Fell to the Jour nal: "We worked under some difficulties In outfitting for our Alaskan trip. Being re sidents of Portland, we desired to. and as a matter of fact did purchase our machinery and supplies at this point, but in getting them shipped to the north we were compelled to send them by rail to Seattle and thence upon the Steamer Ohio to St. Michaels, whence they will go up the Yukon to Circle City to be trans ported from that point by dog teams next winter. I visited Alaska last year and am satisfied that Portland could develop an immense trade with that great penin sula if she had shipping facilities. I hope that Portland will not neglect this mat ter." LARRY SULLIVAN Bets on Henry McGinn Against Dr. Lane. The following agreement was made be tween Larry Sullivan and W. Q. McPher son: "Portland, May 26 W. McPberson bets $100 that Dr. Hacry Lane will be elected Stats Senator from Multnomah County at the June election In 1902.

A violin, be lieved to be a Stradlvartus, has been found In Wllkesbarre. Pa., after being hidden In the bottom of a trunk for fifty years. Its owner is Alexander Pat terson, and It was bequeathed to him by his grandmother, but knowing nothing of music he did not realise Its value. ' One of his children, wishing to learn to play, remembered the old violin, got It out, and asked the teacher If it could be repaired. Then was found the inscrip tion, Antonlus Stradlvartus, Faclbat: An no Domini 1721." Patterson will take the fiddle to New York to have experts examine It.

He gave me some) medicine, which I took that day, and was able to keep it on the stomach, and the next day I felt better.
