(From 6 a turd ay's Dally.) J. P. Shuck, for more than twenty years a resident of the little village of Monitor, about six miles east of Wood burn, assigned all of his " real estate. chattels and personal effects over to X M. Poorman, of Woodburn, as trustee, and left suddenly last week with his family for Grants Pass, where he Is working in a sawmill and his son is driving a team.. Mr. Shuck owned and conducted a grocery Flore at Monitor; a sawmill and flouting mill, was the postmaster; In fact has. for years past, been the political, religious and social light of the community, and was supposed to 'have been quite wealthy, and his con dition and act has taken the people completely by surprise and no one at tempts to give any account for 1L About eight or ten years ago the com munity set to work, under the leader ship of Mr. Shuck, who was the prime mover and promoter of all public ven tures, and by giving festivals, enter tainments, and by subscriptions, succeeded in erecting a church upon a portion of Mr. Shuck's land M a cost of about $800, an.l funiluhed it com pletely. Mr. Shuck-promised to deed the land upon which the buildlng'stood, to the church, but ,he neglected to do so. and it has been learned the prop erty is all mortgaged. The church Is Christian in denomination, but no sect has been excluded from the use of it, andt has been used for all kinds of religious services and entertainments. Before Mr. Shuck left he gave all of the furfikure and fixtures of tht? church away, among the neighbors,' ami now one man In tjie community is negotiat ing for -the purchase of the property, and, being of another religious denom luation,, threaten to convert the church into a stdble for stock. V ' The community has arisen in right eous Indignation overthls threatened desecration of their place of, worship and sent a committee to this city yes terday and engaged L. II. McMahan to defend the sncred temple from such a disgraceful sacrifice and to recover the furniture appertaining threto. Mr. Shuck's liabilities are estimated at between J 12.000 and $15,000, and his assets fall far short of enough to liqui date the indebtedness. . There Is much spoculatIon over, the alxalr and some have ventured the suggestion that Mr, Shuck , took a. considerable amount of money with him. CHAIR JI AN SAM WHITE OF DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COM MITTEE TALKS UPON .'SQME " LEADING ISSUES. (From Saturday's Dally.)

He has been stop ping at the Cottace Hotel, where a reporter found hint yesterday after noon. . " Mr. White Is a "good roals" enthul- at, and speaking on the subject of good roads In Oregon, said: "Oregon 'certainly needs g.od roads about a badly as anything I know of In the way -of Improvement. This Is a matter that all the citizens in the state are interested In, and the matter should be taken up and pushed vigorously. Asked as to how the project could best be accomplished, he replied: "In my opinion every one of the prisoners In the State Penitentiary should be put upon the roads. : They could he worked In this manner and not Come In competition with free labor. This proposition applies to prisoners ,in county Jails as jwell as those in the State Penitentiary and they might be kept In camps during at least a portion of the year, and the ex pense of keeping them so employed on the country roasts would be little, if any, greater than the cost under pres ent conditions. Speaking further concerning Import ant State matters, 'he safd he thought the next Legislature should, tak? t-r to provide an asylum for' the Wind, and also for a girl's reformatory. nearly all of the other states have such institutions, and Oregon should have them alsa , Becoming a little more familiar, the reporter asked Mr. White a few ques tions concerning state appointments to be made by the new Governor. ' He SAld that as chairman of the Dem ocratic State Central Committee, he had been approached by a few candi dates, but had not thought best to in dorse any one. and did not Intend to do so;' th3t h was interested . princi pally in seeing a thoroughly successful administration, and that Mr. Chamber lain would find plenty of good men and appoint none other. He denied that Le was seeking any sort of an appoint ment, and laughed at the Idea when told that it was reported that he would like to be appointed Adjutant Cen- Mr. thite reports havlncr enJoyel tls short sUy in the Capital City, but re grets that 6n account of rains, le has been deprived of an oportunlty to shoot a Chinese pheasant, as he' has never killed, or even tasted one of those birds."

Ho has been touring California- and thw South, but says he- has seen no place-. which. In his estimation is equal to the Willamette valley. He said It was a matter of great surprise to him that a section with so many natural re sources should lack development as this does. 1 ; Mr. Shelly Is In the banking business In his home town, and being asked concerning the hop crop In New York, replied: , t i - . -,v- The hop crop in New York this year Isvery light; in fact, we do not" con sider that we have a crop there at all, and that is the reason you Oregonlans are getting 25 cents for your hops here. We have had too much rain, this year in New, York.' he said, "and all of our crops were very light. " . MATBURT RENOMINATED. DETROIT. Oct. 17v Mayor William A.

THE KCIENCE OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY AND FOR ADVANCEMENT OF THE PROFESSION. (From Sunday's Dally.) A meeting of the physicians of Salem was held last night In the lecture room of the Medical Department of Wil lamette University, In the Patton block, for the purpose of effecting an organization, toJte known, as the Ma rion County Medical Society. This. matter has been under consid e rat ion for some time, but had not ta ken form until last night, when a per manent organization was effected and officer Installed. The object of this Society Is: The cultivation, of the science of medicine and surgery; the advance ment of the c haracter and honor of. the medlc-al profession, the elevation of the standard of medical education; the Promotion of public health; the fur thering of union and harmony among Its members.

International Arbitration Court, thejonly tangible outcome of the Peace Congress of The Hague, has a case before It for adjudication. It Is not so much the case Itself, but the fact that a case has been brought before It, that is significant. For a year and half the high court of arbitration has been duly .constituted, ready to hoar and pass upon the disputes of nations. but no cases . were submitted to it. There wo?om danger that Its very existence might be forgotten. Quite ia accord with the liberal spirit of this continent. It has fallen to two American nations, Mexico and the United States, to make the first appeal to The Hague tribunal. The case sub mitted, that of the -Plus Fund." is a very pretty quarrel from every legal point of view, -and it Is not so Impor tant but that the decision -may be ac cepted without any strain upon the loyalty of either nation. This prom ises that the first aesslon will be of considerable Interest and that the udges will have the great advantage proceeding Imperturbably without regard to ulterior embarrassments. for the "Plu Fund, Its story Is a curious one. Originally a private benefaction, it was administered by the JesuU missionaries of California from 16971 1767. After the expulsion of the Jesuits R was transferred to the Franciscans, Trom whom the newborn Mexican republic took It, guaranteeing however, by way of Indemnity, the payment In perpetuity of 6 per cent on the capital to the (Khurch authorities. "Perpetuity" and the payment stopped abruptly with the cession of California to the United States, and now the church in California suesMhe Mexican Government for . arrears if Interest amounting to about 11,000,00 Certainly a" case which Involves three changes of cuo4y and one Of sov ereignty, should put the Jurists fThe Hague court on their metal, but they are doing more than to . settle a oulsy complicated case In equity. The sre passing upon the first case ever presented to a permanent international tribunal, and. It Is confidently believed. setting In motion the machinery of a high court of arbitration whose rulings will be an important factor In conserv ing the world's peace.

It Is almost an assured fact that Salem will be Included In the Itinerary of the Government Good Road's train next year, which was sent out this year, loaded with all kinds of road building machinery for the purpose of giving object , lessons in permanent road building, but stopped in North Dakota on account of the exhaustion of the ap propriation. : ' Martin Dodge, "Director of Publi- Road Inoulrie. of the Agricultursl repartment; R.

That has been, demonstrated, and 1 am not opposed to taking In nre territory If R can ba- shown that t Is a giNHl busi ness proposition. I enjoy having elec tric lights, city . water and telephones. and pay for them, and pay no city taxes. I rent suburban blocks" and grow strawberries for the cWy market and, may put in a dairy and potato farm, paying a low rent for the land, because In the absence of Improve, ments it fan not-be sold for building kits. One can get suburban lands for keeping up the fences, nnd It Is a drug on the market. I have no kick coming if my home la not taken into thc city, 1 although. I believe all suburban prop erty would be brought into better mar ket and would be more rapidly Improv ed If it were taken into the city. We carry low rate Insurance In the Farm ers' Mutual Insurance Company, If we Ion t have any fire protection. If yuii do not take In some of the milnirlm nn.t make street Improvements they will ro back Into farming lands, and that would probably suit some popl I am not advocating a board Of health, though If one la etatUhd th nMary Jaws connected therewith, " If reasonable, should be obeyed by nil cltlxns. Our city could be built on a mri. generous plan and Its buunduriM letter defined than Ihey are at pres ent.

Thla ouxht to be- an argument for the suburban ptjr1 jr owner to com nto ( city. If, uticb-r expansion, I pay ten dollars additional tax- and you spend fifjeen dollars Improving ty prorriy, I am the gainer. The truth is. a- great Jnany of. us suburhanites don't want to make any Improvements. 1 will say that fn thn newspnper bn-L- ness what burls me most; is to havft this city classed among towns of about four thousand, when It might as w.ll be listed as a city Of ten thousand, or elve thousand, or . fifteen thousand. then I could get twice as much foreign advertising and all bnMnein " men "would feel the same advaritaa accruing from the fact of Salem having larger population.
