MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1910. RUSSIA GOING CRAZY AS WHOLE?, So Asserts Noted Atlcnlst AnQcrcil and Perhaps Frightened, Russia Will Appoint Commission to Exam Ino Matter and Reassure World. ST. PETERSBURG, April 2 S. An gered and perhaps frightened by ac cumulating nsscrtlons from abroad that Kusijla la going crary almost as a whole, preliminary stops aro being taken lu scientific circles hero for tho appointment ot a commission to -Investigate and let tho world know that It Is mistaken, or If It develops tliat thcro is really something queor in tho muscovlto character, to de cide what had better bo done about It. The Tarnowska trial at Venice has had much to do with the feeling. Had tho case been heard In Ruesia fow of the details would ever have reach ed other countries. In Italy, however, It was impossible to suppress them. It is fully realized in St Petersburg that they have given outsiders a bad Impression ot Russia. Prof. Morsolli, tho alienist, who testified concerning Countos Tar nowska, in particular gave offenso Ty his statement to the Jury that "you should remember, gentlemen, that 1n Russia there is In society an ab normal atmosphere, a passion for wlerd women, a craving for unusual sensations. "The whole of this Slav world After writing for tho Mall Tribune last Friday night and mailing thoj letter on the 23rd, Inst., I started on horseback for tho country on Upper Trail creek, noting tho changes that have been made along tho route. The first thing that attracted my at tention was tho great improvements In our road. They havo been scraped and Bomo of the worst mudhole3 filled up and fixed so that they pre sented a good appearance and in ono place, tho lano between Mr. Bergman's r.nd the Ole Johnson place, had been widened so that the could get along nd miss tho worst mud holes. Mr. Johnson has put In a neat wire fence and left tho lano about sixty feet wide. Just beyond Grant Matthews has made a slight change in the road by fencing in another field, thus turning tho road up a Bharp steep Uttlo hill that was avoided the way tho old road run, but he has fenced in a nice tract ot land that will some day bo put to fruit I noticed that a family had moved onto atract of laud formerly occupied by Benjamin F. Baker and that that part of the country is look ing up and the people living along tho line aro getting ready for the Crater Lake road. Crossing Roguo river on the free ferry and stopping at the Trail hotel for dinner, I wended my way up tho creek noting quite an Improvement In tho appearanco of the place formerly occupied Mr, In low by now owned by a young man by tho name of Lawrence. Tho people In the section aro looking anxiously for the Crater Lake road. I remained over night with a friend, Mr. T. C. tQaines. Tho noxt morning I wended jny way up to the Trail schoolhouse whore I preaclied to a good sized .audlenco and after partaking of a lunch that had been prepared by kind friends, went to the Central schoolhouse whor I found another congregation waiting for mo. After speaking I organized a Sunday school of 20 members. In my rounds I met with threo of our young lady teach ers; first, Miss March Klncald who is teaching at Trail, Miss May Dlts worth who Is teaching In the Gale district and Miss Roso Nowland in the Central schoolhouse. Thoro have been several addition to that neigh borhood and I am Blad to noto that they appear to be pooplo of tho right sort. I could noto a decided improve ment all along tho road that I trav oiled and tho most of them soomed rto bo for tho beBt and tho people all soemed happy and contented. Mrs. George West wont to 'Butto Falls last Saturday to meet ho hus band who Is ono of the forest rang ers, returning on Monday. Dr. McKnlght and family recently from Virginia camo out last Monday on tho Pacific and Eastern and Tuesday took tho atalio for Trail where they think thoy may perhaps camp for awhile but thoy lntond to spend the summer camping near tho old Tucker place. Thoy aro recent arrivals and ho Is like tho rest of the nowcomers and tolls uo that wo don't know tho value of our land or how to appreclato our climate and that all that keeps tho throng ot pcpplo east Is that they don't know what wo have here.

That tho intorost in tho union tab ernacle meetings is increasing was shown last evening when hundreds of people went through the rain to tho Tabernacle to hoar Dr. Oliver. Be tween 50 and CO people from Ashland came down to attend tho meeting Inst night. The Ashland delegation occu pied a space in the choir loft and when Oliver entered tho building thov reueated together tho "chorus yell": "Ashland! Oliver! 'Rah, 'rah, 'rah! We stand for the good ho did, Against tho sin that was hid. God bless Medford and Oliver 1" Dr. Oliver responded by saying: "If all of the people in Ashland were like that bunch it would bo a good city. These people coining here tonight, to gether with tho fact that there were 325 conversions in Ashland and the people raised $21S0 for tho exponso of tho meeting, proves that tho cam paign thoro was a success and con tradicts some of tho lies circulated to the contrary." After rending a part of tho sixtn chapter of II Kings, Dr. Oliver an nounced his 'subject, "Wliero fell your nx-head?" the text being found in II Kings, vi:C. Dr. Oliver drew many lessons from the chapter rend and among other things said: "The sons of the proph ets said to Elislm: 'Behold! Now the place where wo dwell with thee U too strait for us that is, it is too small; we need Jnrgor quarters.' Tho church buildings in tho average com munity give a fair conception of tho moral and spiritual conditions of tho town. When the churches aro about tho size of an average box-stall, you can count on it, tho citizenship of that community are puerile, stingy, pusillanimous, good - for - nothing milksops." Dr. Oliver denounced in strong The sun shone its brightest, the air was its balmiest and Central Point had on its best bib and tuckor when tho "Know Oregon" excursion train reached onr city Tuesday noon.

Then thoy sped away Medfordwnrd through beautiful or chards stretching awuy for miles on cither side, down through tho most chnrming and fruitful vallov that tho hand of God ever hollowed out as a dwelling placo for a favored human family. A tiny daughter of Tyson Beall drives into town with a weo dog-cart that is certainly tho cutest over. Tho big shaggy dog obeys tho slightest command of his littlo driver, and tho handsome animal, the neat littlo cart and. harness and tho protty child combine to form a picture that draws tho attention of every ono. Mrs. A. E. La Ponto and children went to Ashland on Wednesday to visit Mrs. La Ponto's mother, who 5b quite seriously ill at hor homo in that city.

Oliver, continuing, said: "Tho ene mies of Nehemiah tried to discourage him in his great work, first by com promise, then by ridicule and fin ally by threatening. So it is today in every community whoro tho people of God enter a campaign for soul saving, tho liquor buifuh will want to compromise with the church, then ridicule, and finally will make threats against tho man of God who dares to tell them of their sins." In closing his sonnon, Oliver said: "The lesson of the young man losing his ax-hcad represents a church member losing his usefulness and spirituality. Some of you men lost your nx-hcad at a horse trado when you tradod somo old bono-spnviucd, wind-broken, ringhoned, 30-ycnr-old bunch of heaves for a fresh 3-yonr-old colt. Some of you women "drop ped your nx-hcad when you wont to a dance or card party. Some of you church members lost your ax-hend when you went off on a fishing trip on Sunday when you ought to have been in church service. Somo of you havo lost your ax-head heenusc yon entertain an unforgiving spirit. Find your nx-hcad man ami woman and go to work for God." Spfdal Services Arts to Ho Held.
