Salem is justly called the city of
churches. AS families are returning
from the seaside and mountain resorts
and from other counties to be ready
for the public and private schools
and the university, the pastors and
churches are preparing for q renewal
of earnest work in all departments.
Knowing that the annual Methodist
conference isapproaching, a JOUR-
NAL representative has obtained a
brief epitome of the work done by
the NJ. E. church of this city. 1t
will be interesting reading to many
of its five hundred members and
their friends, and to numbers of our
eastern leaders. Some of whom
may advantageously show it to those
who yet ignorantly wonder wheth-
er they have any churches out in
Oregon"
This church which is about to
finish up another ecclesiastical year
has made a stride for which she may
feel justly proud. The congrega-
tiOns for the year have been unpre-
cedently large, and collections good.
This week the finances of the
churches will be adjusted and a
fine showing will be made at the
conference which commences at
Eugene City next Thursday. The
church and parsonage have been re-
paired at a cost of about $1,000,
nearly all of it paid. The collections
for benevolences are as follows
From the church, $4,000; WOm-
ans Foreign Missionary Society,
$500; Young Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society, SS4.00; the
Woman's Home Missionary Society,
besides supplying the needs of many
poor among us, has quite a sum on
hand for assisting needy churches
near by. Next Sabbath win finish
the present pastors incumbency,
but the prospects are that the JOUR-
NAILS prophecy relative to his re-
turn will be fulfilled.

A CHILD WITH GREAT NERVE.

The recent accidents with firearms
recalla touching incident that oc-
Cured a week ago at Evansville,
Ohio. And since so many ofmatur-
er years fail to handle pistols and
guns with safety, it may be remark
ed that it is almost criminal to leave
one where a child can possibly reach
it.
Cressie, the seven-year-Old son Of
Austin Coombs, took karevolver from
his fathers desk yesterday while
in the house, and while playing
with it accidentally discharged it,
the ball took effect in his abdomen.
On his mothers return she ques-
toned the boy, who admitted hav-
ing discharged the revolver, saying
nothing of the injury to himself.
Having been forbidden to touch the
revolver he was chastised, standing
the punishment without a whimper.
Shortly afterward he slipped away
to room upstairs and changed his
clothes, the ones he wore being clot-
ted with blood from the pistol
wound.
Toward noon he began to feel sick,
and going to a side room lay down
upon the floor. Upon being called
shortly afterward to get some wood,
he replied that he could not and that
he was sick. His mother going to
him, noticed for the first time that
his clothes were saturated with
blood. After an examination she
surmised the truth, and upon close
questioning the boy admitted that
he had shot himself. This was not
until some three hours after the ac-
and the boy at last reports
was sinking.

Back From California.

Mr.. A. X. Wilson, who owns a
farm west of Salem hasjust returned
from tour of many of the other
states. The last he visited was Cali
fornia. After all he prefers Oregon
for home and will remain here un-
less business calls him to our sister
state on the south. But he COM
plains of the heat and partial drouth
in some portions there. At Colusa
he experienced the hottest day of
his life. There will not be more
than half crop owing to the in
sufficiency of rain. He finds people
talking freely about Oregon, making
enquiries and starting to look for
themselves. He found the most of
these to be Kansas people. Two
were on the train intending to return
here from Portland. On his way
west he conversed with others from
that state, at Salt Lake, who assured
him they would soon meet him in
Salem as they intended to examine
the Willamette valley. Evidently
the wide distribution of advertising
matter is bearing fruit. Let the
good work go on.

Arrested for MurderOus Assault.

Word comes from Silverton about
case similar to that at BallstOn,
Polk county. In that case one VIII
liam Davis, owner of a threshing
machine, struck white man
named Layton Tindall over
the head with a club
in fit of anger. At last accounts
the man was likely to recover. In
the second case, Charles Smith, near
Silverton, feafully struck a China
man, whowas working with Smiths
thresher, on the head with a pitch
fork handle. He was arrested and
was to have his preliminary trial
to-day. 1t is said that Smiths boy
aud the Chinaman got into alterca-
ton and that the latter called him a
liar with an oath, and the father
took it up. He will probably be
brought to the county Jail tonight.

"The management will feel honor

appreciate any act on your part
tending to create an interest in the

Doubtless, as in other years, Sa-

The Sells Brothers HippOdrOme, Circus and

Among the exhibitions of the day,
there are none that have received a
prominence so pronounced as that of
Sells Brothers; nor are we able to
record an instance of any tented
exhibition giving more general salts
faction. Its every feature is remark
able, and the majority can well be
characterized as phenomenal" AS
an adroit, sensational and entirely
original act, that of riding and driv-
ing twenty-three bareback horses,
by Mr.. William O'Dell, will COM
mend itself to all lovers of the diff
cult and dashing in equestrianism.
OF Mr.. Showles' elegant and artis-
tic bareback riding, and of Mr.. VIM.
Sells hurricane hurdle riding"
we have had occasion to speak in
former seasons, and further COM
mendation is superfiuous. So it is
with the graceful, bareback riding
of SenOrina Caroni. OF gymnastic
and athletic exploits by large COM
pany of acrobats and athletes, there
is such Il bewildering multiplicity
that comment is nonplussed, and to
speak of the merits of each in de-
tail would transcend our limits. We
can not close this article, however,
without brief mention of the cham
pion wing and fancy rifle shot of
the world Captain a. II. Bogardus,
"The Man Who Shoots to Kill"
and his four remarkable sons, each
of whom eXemplifies all the possi-
bilities of the gun. The show will

Why American Labor Want Projections ?

When the four Congressman on
Investigating Immigration affairs
met recently in New York, Paul
Wolff, the Washington correspond
ent of the New York Staats-Zeitung,
submitted printed report showing
that societies existed in Germany
and especially in Bavaria for the
purpose of sending discharged crimi-
nails to this country. The reports
of one society showed twenty-seven
discharged convicts sent in 1888.
The report said that the worse the
men are and the larger families they
have, the better fitted they are to be
sent. In 1856 $1,000 marks were
expended by these societies, nearly
ali of which was applied to assisting
this class of immigrants. The
societies give the immigrants tickets
to any point in America they desire.

Where What What has DONE and What il is GailQ TO do

The Waco Curiosity Shop is at 707
and I'll Austin street. The Waco Gu
rioslty Shop is the place to buy and
sell all kinds of secondhand goods.
They carry n full and complete stock
of furniture, stoves, lamps glassware,
trunks, sewing machines, and nearly
every NJ ticle needed for housekeeping.
1t is the place that never tries to hum
bug the people with sO-called Cost
Sales, Moving Sales, or other devices
to deceive. 1t Is the place where they
can and do sell goods at fair profit
so that there Is no accumulation of old
time-worn goods. 1t is the poor mans
friend. The Curiosity Shop was start
ed less than three years ago with less
than small fortune, and good name.
Since then it has sold nearly $4,000
worth of goods. 1t has helped hum
dreds of people to furnish their homes
when they could not do so in any 9TH
or way. 1t has continued to grow,
make friends and prosper as no other
house in Waco ever did with same
capital.
Now let me tell you what the Curl
osity Shop is going to do. 1t is going
to have the best stock of new stoves,
furniture, trunks and general house,
hold goods it ever had. 1t is going to
meet all competition and lead it when
we can. 1t will make special low
prices in new cook and heating stoves
and in the future as in the past, try
to make as many friends as possible,
realizing that it is by our friends we
live. Thanking all for past favors
and our prosperity, we are as ever,
Waco Curiosity Shop.
