Confession OF Baker.
SHASTA, Jan. :.
John Baker, who murdered and
robbed George Cline, the mail carrier
from Redding to Burkettsville, last
week, arrived here this evening un der
a strong guard, and was Immediately
lodged in Jail. After being strung up
five times near where he committed
the crime he confessed his guilt under
promise of the parties that had him in
hand, that they would take him to
Shasta and give him trial. He pro-
missed that he would show where he
had buried the money, which he did,
the money being found buried near his
fathers house. Baker stated that he
rode about mile with his victim, and
being left-handed drew his pistol I'M
observed by Cline, shooting him in
the right side, when Cline fell to the
ground from his horse, when Baker
dismounted and shot him through the
head, killing him instantly. Baker is
q young man about % years of age.
Public sentiment at this place is
strongly against his being brought
here for trial. They think that he
should have been hung upon the spot.

Arrest Of an Incendiary.

PORTLAND, Jan. :.
The man who caused the great con-
flagration of August I'd by firing the
city in several places was arrested last
night. A few days since supposed
friend gave information to Chief Lap
peus that man named st. Clair was
the one who fired Hurgrew d Shind-
ler's store and other places, and that
st. Clair said the people here had sent
him to the penitentiary once; that he
had burned the town once, and would
burn the place again. Yesterday he
made preparations for burning the re-
naming portion of the cily, but the
police were on the lookout, arresting
him while skulking around. Two fire
balls composed of cotton and cotton
wicking, saturated with kerosine, q
small piece of candle and matches
were found on him. The man seems
to be a monomaniac on fires, talking
about CONGREGATIONS continually. The
reason he gives for his wholesale incen-
diarism is the spirit of communism
which exists in his breast and which
inspires him to burn and devastate
cities in order that the poor laborers
may have an opportunity to reap u
harvest in rebuilding what he destroy
ed. When called up in the police court
to-day he waived an examination, and
was sent to iail. O

What is Homeopathy e? .

The art of dealing in sugar pills and
tastless white powders and making
your patient believe you effect cure
By working upon his Inauguration.
The practice of medicine made easy.
Why, anybody can take book under
one arm and Il case of medicine under
the other, and turn out full fedged
"little pill" doctor.
Another says: "Oh, homeopathy is
putting a drop of tincture of BELLA
donna in the head waters of the Hud-
son and taking out bucketful at
New York and administering to q
patient for scarlet fever"
:. Another says: Homeopathy is
good, perhaps, in some mild cases Of
childrens complaints, or for hypo-
chondrical affections, where you don't
need any medicine; but men and
women, when they are sick, want
something that will take hold of them,
something they can feel; they want to
be cured right away, and have no time
to loose fooling with sugar pills."
Still another says: Nobody that
can make living by the regular prac-
tice ever turns hom9opath, but only
those who have not the ability to sue
coed in their profession, and for the
sake of making money are willing to
pander to popular though fallacious
notion.
Such are some of the answers given
to the question, "What is Hom9o-
pathy," and as a failure to answer
it are complete success.
Homeopathy is the nearest appro-
priation to a perfectly scientific and
rational system of medical practice
attainable at the present day. One of
the most convincing proofs of this as
sertion is the fact that many of our
best practitioners are men who stood
at the head of their profession as allo-
paths, both in this country and
in Europe. and who did not renounce
their oldfaith from mercenary motives,
having already attained both wealth
and eminence, but from q thorough
and convincing proof, after due trial
and strict examination, that hOmpo-
pathy was in every way the superior
practice.
It's materia medica contains, not
only all drugs used by the other
school, but many more Of which they
have no knowledge either by name or
use. Every drug used by Hahneman
and his disciples has been given in
such doses to persons in health, and
extended over such length of time
as would suffice to produce all the
symptoms of which such drug was ca
pable, within the limits of safety to
life and health, which symptoms being
carefully noted, and compared those
of one with another, and arranged in
groups of head, chest, stomach, limbs,
etc, are called provings. BY expert
ment in that manner it is proved that
certain drugs are capable of producing
certain effects. 1t was the custom, not
such very long time ago, in certain
European countries, for criminals con-
demned to death, to be allowed a
chance for life, by partaking of medi-
zines or poisons whose effects were but

that were hauled for the purpose of

query whether anybody was interested
in the alteration.

A Sleet storm.

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.
A terrible storm of sleet and snow
is prevailing over the Middle and East

in all directions, completely cutting off
all communication between the East

received here to-day from any point
East of Toledo.
The Military Expenses.
A Washington special of the 9th
says. The House Military Committee
to-day began its investigation to as
certain whether the military expen-
ses can be reduced. The Secretary of
War and General Sherman favor the
maintenance Of the full force Of 80, 900
men, and said that with the present
needs the service could not get along
with less. He thought the staff could
be materially reduced, and that re-
duction could take place in Quarter
master, COmmisary and Medical force.
The Committee expects to be able to
make very marked reduction, both
in numbers employed in civil and nil
itary branches of this service, and in
work carried on under the War De-
partment.
