and its place In history; to the Greek idea. and
to the Romans collecting aud formulating all
the ideas Of the past. The influence of the
Reformation ia all it's phases on the laws OF the
times next touchel upon. and
from that the development was traced in
English history through ali the religious
and political struggles down to within the
last century. Modern Law, he aaid, is the out

There are two interpreters Mt present OF the

insists that individuality Is being stified by
legal restraint. which has been carried to a point

insists that the people are being made better BY

tyranny or radically wrong. The true course
lies between the two views.
The last speaker was D. E. Williamson, of
Hanover College. Mr.. Williamson makes
graceful appearance. His manner, however, is
little dramatic and unnatural az times. His
enunciation Is good. but the force of his deliv-
cry was isssened oy too many gestures. me
law has been slow W. and toiIsome
has been one of the most promlnens feat
ures Of civilization. AS the idea of justice and
right has developed. law has likewise been de-
velopsd. All nations have had great questions
OF justice 70 decide. The question OF slavery
was one for the American people to settle and
the problem of labor and capital is another.
This question is the question of the hoar. So
far it lie unsolved in spite of all attempts The
laborina class is growing morn dissatisfied and
threatening daily. Some ask Why should trouble
exist, when the two elements are so intimately
allied; when one has made the other why should
capital be arrogant when it is the child of toilf
Some hold that the trouble is With the laborer,
but capital has fostered monopolies, and monop-
olies have always been curse. It has produce
the Standard On Trust. the Sugar Truss, and many
other institutions of like nature detrimental
to society Capital in this form controls the ne
cessites of life. and hence labor itself. What il
necessary is less eelfshness among men. less
greed for gain and more charity and love of the
the principles of Christianity. Until these are
reached law should do its best TO correct all
wrongs. It should stop all the evils that it has
engendered by unjust legislation.

CURED on the evening of Oct 6, 1886, he had

ing of the crime, Van Brunt, who was boarding
with the Roys. retired his room, but later he
heard talking in low tone in the parlor, and
believing the voices to be those of Will and Eva
he descended the stairs and found Eva in her
night dress engaged in conversation. as he had
surmised, with Will, the two sitting in close
proximity, and the remarks that were made so
angered him that he pulled his revolver from
his pocket and fred the fatal shot Coolly re-
turning to his room. he informed Fred that he
had shot his brother. and, making no effort to
escape, willingly gave himself up. He was
placed under arrest, and at the next term of
court indicted for murder in the first de-

of court in February, 1887. The main evidence
against him was that of Eva Roy. He was con-

1887, but, by appeals the general term and

PURE Foop.

Americans can still afford 70
look to England for some good
things. The conservative English
man, with all his faults, is very
often a safe leader to follow. In
nothing is this mora true than in
the laws of England on the "pure
food" question. From those laws
we take the following extracts as
samples worthy of imitation:
"No person shall mix, color,
stain, or powder, or order or per-
NIT any other person to mix, color
stain, or powder any article of
food with any ingredient or mGteri-
al so as to render the article in
furious to health, with intent that
the same may be sold In that state,
and no person shall sell any such
article mixed, colored, stained, or
powdered.
No person shall sell to the pre-
judlce of the purchaser any article
of food or any drug which is not
of the nature, substance, or quail
ity of the article demanded by
such purchaser, provided that an
offense shall not be deemed to be
committed under this section IN
the following cases. that is to say
Where any matter or ingredient
not injurious to health has been
sdded to the food or drug because
the same Is required for the pro-
duction or preparation thereof as
an article of commerce, In a state
fit for carriage or consumptio n,
and not fraudulently TO increase
the bulk, weight, or measure Of
the food or drug, or conceal the
Inferior quality thereof"
The penalties fDr violating these
laws are, as they should be, very
severe. Congress might, with profil
examine the English laws or

A REMARKABLE NAPHTHA SPRING IN
BAKu.

One ofthe largest naphtha loun-
tains yet known has lately broken
out neal Baku, which threateas to
inundale all Balakhani. The
naphtha, owing to the pressure OF
the gases which accompany 1t,
rises to height of from 2S0 feet
to 420 feet. and is carried away
by the wind to great distance,
falling like fine rain at the IN ire
distant parts Of the districts, but
near tho fountain coming down in
torrents that foim rivers and
streamlets. Further ON il falls
like sleet, and settles IN layer
on all the buildings in the nei III
borhood. These naphtha rivers
flow for distance of more than
half n mile, and pass through
wells, works, reservoirs, and IN
habited houses, etc. Unfortu-
nately, all the reservoirs in the
neighborhood We're full when the
fountain broke out and the oil
was thus wasted. Owing to the
stiffness of the atmosphere at one
time the gases which accompany
the naphtha spread in a heavy
layer for more than 280 yards,
filling the houses and placing their
inhabitants in a most dangerous
poSition, especially at night, when
fires were lit. The sand and dust
thrown up by the fountain form a
hill OF considerable size, and have
buried the boiler house of the
mining company's works and al
buildings in close proximity tc
the fountain. There is no doubt
that any exposed flame would sci

days the fountain has been left Il

increased in power. In conse
quence Of a strong and changing

bands, 80 that at an alarm from
any one of the bulls. which leis-
urely feed on the higher ground,
they all rush away together.
"The cattle are of all colors
and wilder than deer. 1t is a
hard matter to get shot at them
for the reason that their scent is
SO keen. They can smell a man
q long distance off. They got
wild in 1858 when the man Rid
dies and two or three others of
the first settlers came to the val
ley. Their COWS wandered off
and could not be found. After
two or three years, all the
pioneers had to do when they
wanted beef was to rig out two
or three pack animals and go up
into the mountains. The cattle
had to be killed on sight, the
same as deer or bear, for they
could no more be driven down
than deer could. Once killed
they were quartered, packed on
horses and carried down. They
have heCn hunted a good deal of
late years, so that there are not
as many as there used to be.
"Some of the cattle are very
large and fat. l have caught
| glimpscs of bulls IN the top of
the Umpqua hills that astonlshed
me. A bull / saw in the fall of
1882 on the head of the Rogue
river am certain would weigh
1400 pounds. There is good
grazing in the mountains all the
year round. A pecullarity about
these cattle is that their eyes and
horns are Jet black. The retlna,
iris ana the whole apple Of the
eye are one mass OF black. You
can't distinguish any difference
in any part of 1t. The horns, too,
while being black as ink, are
long and very sharp. Brought
to bay the Oregon wild cattle are
vary wicked fighters. ~ Sar

OREGON WILD CATTLE.
The Strange Breed that lnhabits the Tops
OF the umpgua Mountains.

"California sportsmen can now
60 up to Oregon and shoot wild
cattle," said John Day, an Umpqua
Mountain pioneer, yesterday, re-
ferring to the completion of the
California and Oregon Railroad.
cit is fact that there are hun
dreds of wild cattle in the high
hills skirting the Umpqua valley,
and some Of them are NOT more
than a couple of miles from the
railroad track. Some OF these
cattle, too, are twenty-five years
old OF more. In the mountains
near Riddles and Rosebug they
are probably the thlckest, but
they do not venture down in the
valley much. They stay in the
tops of the hills and get water
from the living springs whi,h rise
there. For the most part they
are concealed in the dense growth
of oak and fir in these mountains.
There is havy underbrush, too,
so that it is a hard matter to get
on to them. They go in bands of
Xix or eight usually, but at night
a held of forty or fifty get together
and lie down in the same yard ;
that is, they sleep on the same
spot, which IS usually secluded
place among the trees. a band
oi wild cattle have been known
to get together on a cleared place
like this every night for couple
of years.
when feeding there are al
ways few bulls to act as SEN
tinels- While the cattle gaze in
bands of half dozen or 50, they
are nevertheless close to other
