made President McKinley a leader of
men. a mighty power for good- his
strength, his courage, his courtesy-and

meeting and solving- the Issues as they

Robbing with liniments, blistering, the ap

will produce counter-irritation, is good for
external treatment of Rheumatism, but
tbee simple remedies do not reach the seat

and relief is therefore only temporary.
Rheumatism is due to Uric Acid and
other ' irritant poisons in the blood, and

TRIED FOR TRESPASS
THE TROUBLE ARISING OVER THE
SALE OF THE JESSUP
PROPERTY.
A criminal action for trespass came
up for hearing: yesterday afternoon at
2 o'clock in Justice of the Peace E. D.
Horgan's court. The case was entitled
The State of Oregon, plaintiff, vs. Scott
Fergusonand Marjorie C. Ferguson,, his
wife, defendants, in which Ferguson and
his wife were charged with trespassing
oh lands occupied by Mrs. Margaret
Fennell. L. H. McMahan appeared for
the defendants and P. H. D'Arcy con
ducted the prosecution. The-court, af
ter hearing the testimony adduced upon
the stand, imposed a . fine of $5 -upon
each of the defendants and costs.
The defendants, through their attor
ney, L H. McMahan, served notice that
a petition would be filed asking; for a
writ of review. - - - j
This trial was the result of a dispute
over the ownership of the home and of
fice building on State street, formerly
owned by Dr. S. R. Jessup, deceased.
-- About May 1st last Mrs. Jessup. the
widow of the deceased, sold the proper
ty to Mrs. Patrick FennelL Under the
contract of the sale, Mrs. Fennell took
possession of the .property and was to
pay (200 in three months as first pay
ment, tl -seems that Mrs. Fennell paid
$200 on the date prescribed, but a dis
pute arose as to how the money should
be applied, so Mrs. Jessup credited the
amount as part payment on' some fur
niture which the house contained, and
endeavored to gain possession of the
property. !
Mrs. Fennell, who had previously
rented the office building to George D.
Sprague as a real estate office, resisted
and there the matter stood until Mon
day morning, when Mrs. Jessup's a&ent
and Scott Ferguson forced an entrance,
and moved .Mr. Sprague's goods out in
to the snof, thereby causing consider
able damage. : . f
Scott Ferguson and wife desired to
rent the building to be used as an oys
ter house. 1
Mrs. Fennel caused the arrest of .Fer
guson and" his wife charged with tres
pass, and Mr. Sprague again took'pos
session of his office. ,
The case was settled as above stated,
but will probably be appealed, and the
final outcome will be a contest (between
Mrs. Jessup and Mrs. Fennell; fojr the
ownership of the property, which a
originally sold for $5000. but is
now
valued at about twice that amount-

NEW YORK, Jan.- 27.--One of the
most appalling railroad wrecks that
has occurred in the vicinity of New
York, the estimated loss of life being
at least thirty persons, took place to
night at Graceland, on the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, near West-
field. N. J when the Royal Blue Lane
express ploughed, at top speed, into the
rear of a local train. j
Immediately after the crash, three
of the shattered cars of the local
train took fire; renderlifg- Impossible
the rescue of many of the wounded
who Were pinned fast in the wreck!
Many bodies were believed to have
been consumed. -
On board Uie flyer, all passengers
though badly shaken up. escaped un
injured except for trifiling bruises.
The train which was run into left
New York at 5:35 and runs express to
Bound Brook, making stops at Elisa
beth. West Geld and Plain field. Beyond
Bound Brook it runs as a local. The
Koyal Blue train left fifteen minutes
later.- travels at a higher speed and
makes no stoos .except at Elizabeth,
and is scheduled to overtake the slow
er train just beyond Graceland, Where
the latter switches from track No. '3.
Into track No. i, to permit the Royal
ltlue to pass. '
This evening a freight train was
blocked on track No. 4 and the local
received orders to proceed on ' the
express track to Dunellen and there
take the outside, or No. 4 track
Shortly after , receiving the orders
the train had to -stop for a hot box
which caused such delay that, when it
got under way again, it was due at
Dunnellen. The train had just started
and was moving slowly "when the ROyat
Blue, traveling at 65 miles an Hour,
crashed into the, rear end.
The heavy engine of the Royal Blue
tore Its wa Into the rear car and. at
the same time, drove the forward end
of that car into the rear end of the car
ahead which, in turn, was driven Into
the third car. and this. In turn, into
the fourth car from JThe rear . The
fourth car was only "partly wrecked,
but the last three were torn to pieces.
The engine of the Royal piue left the
rails and turned over on its ;side. The"
engineer and fireman sticking to their
posts and "going down in the wreck.
They are now in the hospital at Plain-field-
The engineer Is not believed to have
any chance of living more than a few
hours. The passengers on the flyer
say the engineer applied the brakes
hard a minute or so before the wreck.
The train ahead had sent a flagman
back, but It seems he was ! recalled
when the' train got under way, and.
although he left torpedoes, the Roy'
Blue did not heed them or ls was
going too fast to stop in such short
distance remaining. The man who went
back to flag the train had just swung
on to the rear of his train and is
among the dead. .
The 'engine and , three cars which
were wrecked were piled in a heap.
-ontaining at least 100 dead or injured.
From the mass came fearful cries for
aid. A minute later the wreck caught
fire from the firebox of the locomotive,
and the screams of the injured were
Intensified as they found themselves
hemmed In by flames. -

BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY
CAPT. P. F. CLARK'S SEVENTY-
1XJURTH MILESTONE CELE
- - B RATED BY HIS FRIENDS.
The neighbors, and old time friends
of Captain P. F- Clark, of Zena, Polk
county, gathered at his home on Tues
day, the 27th Inst., to celebrate his
seventy-fourth birthday. . He has lived
tn this neighborhood about a quarter
of a ceptury, but his friends are now
scattered over the entire state. The
gathering was In accord with a motion
made by D. O. Henry on a similar oc
casion one year ago. The ladies of
Spring Valley are really famous -Tor
their skill in providing feasts for such
occasions, and substantial tables were
needed to sustain, and good appetites'
to dispose of, the abundant, varied and
elegant repast provided by their kind
hands. . sftfidf
The prospect of all our homes soon
being connected by telephones natur
ally furnished a lively theme for con
versation, until a crusty old bachelor
declared that every time a bell rang,
every receiver on the line would be
taken down; whereat the ladies in
dignantly protested, and the remark
voted pure slander.
; After dinner the guests spent a very
pleasant and enjoyable time in listen
ing to remarks by Captain Clark, Rev.
Waller and others. It was interesting
to,' the younger members of the com
pany, to hear the cantain tell of his
early recollections, ere the days of the
lucliVr match or the telegraph and of
having lived even before the cradle
came into general use for harvesting,
he having used, in his youth, the reap
hook that came down to use from pre
historic days. Rev. Waller Was very
happy in his remarks, and particularly
so In a love song he was prevailed upon
to sing, accompanying' himself on the
organ. It was all about a lovely maid,
who had a basket of flowers. The rev
erend gentleman protested in the first
verse that all he wanted was a flower,
but the knowing ones present were
skeptical. It all came out in the last
verse, however, where he had to ac
knowledge that the flower was not suf
ficient. It was the girl he was want
ing. Many and sincere were the congratu
lations and good wishes expressed by
the friends of the old warrior ere they
returned to the many peaceful and
happy homes that ' is the crowning
glory of our neighborhood. All hail to
the grand old warriors who shed their
blood "for the preservation of our be
loved nation; and. all hall to Captain
P. F. Clark, who, with the sword In
one hand has fought to preserve to us
our peaceiui nomes, ana wiin tne 131 we
in the other has long pointed us out
the paths of righteousness and peace.
