keeping anything back in regard to the
actions of Mr.. Campbell. don't think he
has behaved himself as preacher ought-in
fact, as any man ought-towards women to
whom he has no claim whatever more than
friendship. Mr.. Campbell put his arms around
me and tried to kiss me. That was a year
ago. My mother was sick. He came to
visit her. This was before / was married.
usually went to the door, and one day,
when did, he put his arms around me and
tried TO kiss me. resisted and asked him
what he meant by such conduct. He made
no reply. This he did several times, never
saying anything TO me before doing so or
when protested. l told my parents about
1t. They said not to cay anything nbout t.,
as the result would be row in the church;
that he probably meant nothing wrong"
Miss Jessie Graham, a handsome girl,

A PREAoHER's NECK IN DANGER.
The Mon of CarOndeIet Ready to Lynch
the Rev. jacob Schlitter.


ST. LOUIS, Dec. 6.-Slnce Carondelet was
made city its people were not more in
censed than they were this morning, when
the doings of the Rev. Jacob Schlitter were
laid bare before them. Had he been in the
city, instead Of safe with his stepdaughter
Annie in Chicago, he would have been
given taste of lynch law, for the girls
brother Fred, was there as leader, and
when the truth was made known to him he
vowed vengeance on the girls betrayer and
swore to kill him did he ever return to
Carondelet. Hundreds of his friends in
dorsed his sentiments and promised to give
him helping hand.
Since yesterdays developments It has
been found that the preacher was in the
habit of bringing Annie to st. Louis, and
after these visits she always returned home
loaded down with presents, which, she said,
had been given her by her stepfather. The
latter's wife is still his friend, and claims
that his conduct towards his stepdaughter
was wholly due to spiritualistic influences,
and that when he led her astray he was un-
conscious of wrong-doing.
Officers, armed with warrant fol
Schlitter's arrest, are still looking for that in-
Gividual, and if he is returned to Caronde-
let he will certainly be lynched.

ADJUSTMENTS.


Duprez and Benedict's Gigantic Minstrels
will appear at the Opera House this even
Ing in an entirely new and side-splitting
program. An exchange In speaking of one
of the troops performances says: "The en-
tertainment was first-clais in every particu-
lar, the company being a strong one. The
olio business was excellent, nearly every
point made being encored by the audience
The local hits were humorous and were well
received. The cottonheld bellies and silver
shower cloggists were equal to anything in
this line ever produced in Salem. The dis
cipline of the company was excellent, the
members playing together well, and, as this
is their fourth appearance this season, their
success with the public argues well for
their enthusiastic reception wherever they
may go during the season.
"My Partner" will be presented at the
Opera House tomorrow evening, by a
strong company. The performance should
be greeted by a crowded house as the play
is q mastery piece of dramatic work, aud
the best that Bartley Campbell has written.
1t draws theatre goers of all conditions, ap-
pealing to all whether OF high or low de-
gree, and is so true to nature that all can

the contract of putting In Hartman & Feh-

ever, in stating that Harry Lape had re-

brick work attached to the cooler, which
has capacity of cooling 100 barrels OF beer
daily, will be done by Archibald Given. The
other work necessary for its construction

A DEFAULr1NG CITY OLERk.
Stealing 800 Monthly for Several Year
and Finally Caught.

ana F1nauy caught.
WHEELING, WA, Dec. 6.-The town OF
Parkersburg, this State, has been very much
excited to-day over the discovery that Mr..
Fred Toothaker, City Clerk, was defaulter
for an unknown but probably large sum. 1t
has been suspected for some time that he
was behind in his accounts. The Mayor ap-
pointed committee to investigate,
and the committee has Just un-
earthed the affair. His plan of procedure
was novel but simple. In adding up the
monthly accounts he would make the sum
total 800 or 5000 more than 1t really was.
He would then submit this books to the
Mayor, who, without taking the trouble to
cast them up, would write a cheek for the
full amount. The Clerk would draw the
money and after paying the various bills
would pocket the surplus. His operations
extend back for several years and these de-
faulcations will average 800 per month.
Toothaker has relatives in this city who are
immensely rich and will probably do all they
can to save him from imprisonment and dis
grace.
