OREGON NEWS NOTES.
PEroLETON.- (E. O.) Audy Tillard,
now a prominent and weIl-to-do sheep
man of the Heppner oouutry, is in town
with his wife on a visit to the old folks.
Portland. (E. 0.) It is learnad that
R. Luraen, who was arrested and placed
under 85.000 for delaying the U. S. mail
on tho Heppner bruuoh of theO. H. & N.
hud a mail oontraot of his own and the
line of his route orosses the railroad, and
that he posted notices to that effect be
fore he took up the rails and also placed
danger signals on either side of the break
as a warning. Ha was recently arrested
and placed under $5000 bonds to insure
good behavior. He had no diffioulty in
getting bonds at Arlington, whose citi
zens seem to be in full sympathy with
anything antagonistic to Heppner.
Monkok. (Corvallis Times) Two more
oases of small-pox have been reported
near Monroe. Mr. Wm. Darrow, who
was with Preston Nail when he was tak
en down with that dreaded disease, has
been attaoked. Also Mr. Alexander
Nail, father ef Preston, is reported to be
down with the disease, and as he is
quite an aged gentleman, the chances
are against his recovery. These are the
only oases yet reported from that neigh
borhood, and it is hoped any further
spread may be oheoked.
Deskrt.-- (Eagle.) Billy Lloyd brought
the news up from what is called the des
ert, lying between Crook and Grant
counties, that some cowboys in that
neighborhood had lassoed a Chiuaman
who was herding sheep for Mr Carey.
They dragged him by the neck on the
ground behind u horse, and all that
saved the Mongolian's ueok was the
timely arrival of Carey's men and the
threatened free use of fire arms.
An Ancient Marriage Certificate.
Mr. Ira Claffiu of this place has in his
possession a oopy of a marriage certifi
cate bearing date ot 1822, and issued by
one O. M. Boas who was at that time a
non-commissioned Justioe of the Peace
in and for the oouuty of Peoria, Illinois.
Mr. Claffiu states that at that time (1822)
the oounty of Pooria embraced a large
scope of territory, aud that it has since
been divided up into at least a dozeu
counties. In all this territory there was
not a Justioe of the Peaoe, a minister,
nor in fact any pe-ison qualified to per
form the marriage ceremony. This man
had, howover petitioned the Gov
ernor of Illinois to appoint him to the
position of Justioe of the Peaoe, and
had received news that. his petition had
been granted but his oomuiiasiou had not
arrived. Iu the meantime, John Smifti
aud Polly Myers wanted to get married,
and called on Ross, and wanted hira to
tie the knot. He did so, and the follow
ing ia a verbatim oopy of the marringe
certificate, whioh Mr. Claffiu copied
from the reoords of Peoria oounty:

The Right or Way.
Parties from Heppner state that there
is a good deal of uneasiness among the
citizens of that place because of the ob
stinacy of a fow in regard to tho right ot
way through the city. It seems tho O.
U. & N. Co. was promised the right of
way through the city before they entered
into a ooutnict to build the load, but by
some menus the bond was m.idti to build
the road to Heppuer. Nothing was said
about the mutter till the road was built.
Then a few who had agreed to give a
oertiuD proportion of what the right of
way cost, declined to put up for any
more, because it was uot "so nominated
in the bond." Mr. Holcomb was iu
tloppuer reoently and told the people he
had noted in good faith in building the
road, and although the bond, by some
oversight, did not oall for the right of
way through the oity, all interested
knew that suoh right had been promised.
Therefore the people were in honor
bound only, aud they could do as they
saw fit. He did not promise to take the
matter into the courts. Mr. Holcomb
made a very faverable impression in
Heppner, and a majority of the people
are in favor of living up to their prom
ises, even though there is a ohance to
sneak out of it,as thny bolievo it will be
to their interests in the long run to do so
The road is built to Heppner and wi
be operated, but Heppuer people will
find it to their advantage to respect the
rights of the oompany that built it. The
O. It. & N. can, aud probubly will, do
mnch for Heppner if the people mani
fest a disposition to do the square thing.

The Dread of Death.
Sir Lyon Playfair has written to Jun
ius Henri Brown the following letter in
regard to the hitter's paper in theForu7
on the "Dread of Death":
Dear Sir: I have read your article
on death with much interest. This sub
ject has often entered my mind, and I
have been led to the same ouuclusions.
Having represented a larg medioal con
stitnency (I he University of Edinburgh)
for KeTenleen ycius as a member of Par
liament, I ijiittually came in oontact
wit th mot! FUiinciit medical men of
England. I have put the question to
most of them. "Did you, in your exten
sive practi "p, ev r know a patient wbn
was afr iid to ,lio?" With two except ions
they answered "No " One of these ex
ceptions as Sir Beiijaman Brodie, who
said be had seeu one case, that of a
young girl of obamcter who had a sud
den accident.
I have known three friends who were
partially devoured by wild beasts under
apparently hopeless oisenmstauces of
eaoape. The first was Livingstone, the
great African traveler, who wn knocked
on his back by linn, which begun to
munch his arm. He assured me that he
felt no fear or pain, and that bis only
feeling was one of intense ourionsity as
to which part of his body the lion would
take next. The next was Rutera Pasha,
now Turkish embassador iu London. A
bear attacked him, ami tore off part of
his hand and part of his arm and shoul
der. He also assured me that he had
neither a sense of pain nor of fear, but
lhat he felt excessively angry beoauee
the bear grunted with so muoh satisfac
tion in munchiug h;m. The third oase
is that of Sir Edward Bradford, mi In
dian officer now oc-upying a high posi
tion in the Indian Office. He was seized
in a solitary plaoe by a tiger, which
held him firmly behind his shoulders
with one paw and then deliberately de
voured the whole of his arm, beginning
at the end aud ending at the Bhotilder.
He was positive that he had no sensa
tion ot fear and thiuks that he felt a lit
tle pain when the fangs went through
his hand, but is oertain that he felt none
duriug the munching of his arm.
I was led to the same oonoluBiou as
yourself when I attended the hospital as
a medioal student, and I thought you
might like some confirmation of the
views described in your interesting nrti
ole in the Forum.
Desperaliun,
They had just oome out of a dime mu

blade hips aud an olive groeu oomplex

HETERODOXY OR ORTHODOXY,
WHICH?
The Faith or the Latter Day Saints.
"And the sea gave up the dead whioh
were in it; and death and hell delivered
up the dead which were in them, and they
were judged every man according titheir
woi-J..." Hev. 20, 13.
From the above, it will be seen there
is a time of judgment yet future, when
men are to be judged; not according to
their faith, but works; it is their acts,
tho result of their faith, which brings
punishment or rewards, The text shows
that this judgment will pass upon all
men, for all men will stand before him.
If men are to be assigned their several
coii'litions because of works, it is but
reasonable to suppose that the Judge
should give a law to govern ns in these
works.
For this purpose aent He Christ, His
son, a minister extraordinary, into the
world, not so much to reveal tho fact
that there was n hereafter for men gen
erally believed that but to make known
the true (iod and a rule of faith anil
practice by which they mightserve Him,
and that this service should tend to bet
ter man's condition here is but a reason
able conclusion.
In order to be brief I will but set be
fore yon the ultiinutuin ol the whole law
of the Lord. All Ilia cominnndiiienlh
tend to the following. Jesus when ask
ed which was the first commandment,
answered: "Thou shalt Invo tho Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy mind. This
is the first, and the second is like tbis,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
"There is nono other commandment
greater than those. "Mk 12, 3').
Why love God? What good will that
do us here? His answer is : "If ye love
nieymiwill keep my coininanilments,
which is 'Therefore, all things whatso
ever ye would that men should do to
you, do yo even so to them, for this is
the law and tho prophets," and to love
those who wrong us. Surely to obey
these laws would increase our happiness
here and fit us for Heaven.
To the above agrees Paul's testimony,
"For all the law is fullfllled in one word,
even in this, "Thou shalt love thy neigh
bour as thyself. "Gal. Si, H. "Bear
ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill
the law of Christ." To do good unto
others, then, is the object of all law
coming from God. James says "If ye
fulfill the royal law according to the
scriptures, thou shalt lovo thy neighbor
as thyself; ye do well." James 2, 8.
Then to keep the highest law, or to ful
fill and accomplish tho highest end in
view, is to serve each other. To offend
Him is to offend, injure and mistreat our
fellow men. To this idea agrees the
statement of Christ, as recorded in Matt.
25, 41.
"Depart from me, ve cursed, Ac., for
I was an hungered anil ye gave me no
meat; I was thirsty and ye gave me no
drink." They answered: "When law
we this?"

For the Clam.
Homebody who has had experience
gives currency to this bit of truth: It is
uo easy matter to so couduot a newspa
per as to keep it fr m any suspicion of
partiality, because certain ones are al
ways unlive and alert and naturally ab
sorb a larger amount ot space in a paper
than others in the same line who do lit
tle more than to breathe with monoto
nous regularity. To ehronielu the life
and adventures of a clam is not exciting
business until, possibly, the time of fi
nal roasting. Yet the professional and
business clams feel deeply aggrieved if
if they do not attract an iqual amount
of attention with their progressive
brethren. Iu the long ruu, however, ev
ery newspaper man aims to notice all
his friends with equal regularity.

A Very Funny Man.
As our readers would doubtless l ike to
know something of the most famou.-.
humorist of the day, we present '.lie
above exoelleut likeness nnd the follow
ing admirable Bketch by Edmund Kirke,
lately published in Harper's M.u.tldy'
Magnziue:
"Mr. Charles B. Lewis (better ki.owu
8B 'M. Quad') is perhaps tho moat unique'
and genuine humorist this country hr.a
produoed.
"'M. Quad' is not a humorous 'artist'- -a
boss mechnnio who manufactures jokes
as a carpenter does packing boxes, with
saw aud jack-plane and much exudation
of perspiration. He is naturally and
spontaneously funny. Humor gushes
from him like ohampagno from an un
corked bottle, bubbling and effusive, and
drenching us, whether we will or not,
with laughter. And there is wisdom
with his wit strong, homely common
sense mixed with a racy, unctuous hum
or whioh makes his humor as grateful to
our taste as whale oil is t') the palate of
an Esquimau. He is of universal relish,
an is witnessed by the wide popularity .
that The Detroit Free Press largely owes
to his contributions.
"It is not generally known where he
was born, nor is it of muoh conseqenoe
since his oareer did not begin till he was
blown up, some seventeen years ago, on
an Ohio river efoamboat. He is perhaps
the only example of a man who has been
lifted into fume by being tossed a hun-
d ed feet into tho air, aud comiug down
more dead than alive, to tell the story.
He did this: Standing at his priuter'a
oase, when ho was so far recovered as to
limp about, he put into type "How it
feels to be blown up," and the whole
West burst into laughter. That laugh
made 'M Quad' famous. Ho was then
transferred from the ooinpoaing room to
the editorial department, and ever since
short extracts from the Free Press have
been oopied into every journal through
out, the country.
"About ten years ago he iuventod or
rather created 'His -Honor' niidT 'Bijuh'
and 'Brother Gardener,' of the 'Lime
kiln Club' characters totally dissimilar,
but each as natural, original individual,
and ludicrous as any iu American liter
ature. " 'Artemas Ward' created one charac
ter: 'M Quad' has given birth to three,
and each one lnis, during a period of
ten years, given delight to millions,
"The man in precisely what we are led
o expect from his writings. Ho is bv
turns 'His Honor,' 'Bijuh' nnd 'Brother
Gardner,' with the dry humor nud quaint
wisdom that is peculiar to each charac
ter. "His 'don.'-es ho oiirls his nanotum, is
an upper story of the Free Press build
ing, is a ouriosity shop filled with odd
mementos and knick-knacks. Here is a
bit of rope that bellied to hnnir a in nr.

shot and shell from a score ot battle
fields; while around the. walls, fide bv

The Bendor Family.
The concealment of the facts surround

family for soveral years gave opportuni
ty for nuinberlesH rumors concerning the
supposed wanderings of the family to
creep into the newspapers. The mem
bers of the family all fell victims to pri
vate vengeance. The Benders kept a
small inn on tho road from Parsons to
Cherryvale, Labette county, Kii'
Travelers often stopped there for a nor

While some excitement was Ciitisiei bv
such disappearances, no search was v- r
made until about May, 187;), when !
York of Independence went on a tii: In
Fort Soott, but did not return. Ui-i
brother, Col. York, took up the ee .rc.h
for him, stopping on his way at the ten
ders. Their reception of his inon ri..a
excited his suspicion, and on tho foi ow
ing day he returned with a search v ar
rant and n posse of men. They ft, ind
the plaoe tleserted, and an examination
of a spot in the yard where the dirt had
been freshly turned, revealed the remain
of the missing York, and a further search
the remains of eight or nine otliar vic
tims. The fresh wagon trail of the tlee
ing Bender family was followed over the
prairie northward as far as Thayer,
where an abandoned team and wagon'
were found, an I where also it wad as
certained that the family had taken the
south bouud train. The conductor of
the train was telegraphed and replied
that the fugitives had left the train ut
Chnnute. Inquiry of the station agent
revealed tho fact that thev had pur
chased tickets there for C'he'topu. The
pursuers returned to Independence, pro
cured fresh horses and assistance and
started for Chetopa. Upon arrival there
they were informed that the Benders had
tak n a team, waiting there for them,
and had taken the trail southward to
Grand Kiver, Indian T. About four
miles from the same the fugitives were
