AN UNSAFE SAFE.
cRACKsMEN OPEN THE STRONG BOX AT
FIsCHER's MILL

fesslonal safe cracking last Sunday

Monday morning at 5 to Sunday morn.
ing at 5, and the robbers, whoever
they may be, were evidently pretty
we'll acquainted with the surroundings
and number of working hours. The
safe, solid-looking one of about 1900
pounds, has the words "Mosler Bah
nlan & Co." conspicuously displayed
in fancy letters on its massive-looking
doors, and seems all right yet, with the
exception OF neat round hole about
half an inch in diameter drilled about
midway between the combination knob
and That which throws the bolts back
Oh opening the "strong box" After
drilling this hole through the Finch
plate on the door, some crooked in
strument was inserted, which caught
the slots in the combination and thus
threw back the bolts and opened the
safe about as easy as you would an
old leather trunk. The cracksmen
pried the door off rather fiimsy- look
ing vault and distracted all there was
in it-about $500 worth of county
scrip, with several mortgages and
deeds. The drawer on the right was
also pried open, but the one OH the
left, which held $500 in gold and sill
Yer, was lett unmolested and found
untouched by the surprised owner next
morning
Several days ago, two dapper-look-
ing young fellows, well dressed, visited
the mill, and after standing around a
while, asked for work sewing sacks.
No sack-sewers were needed at the
time, and they went away, but not
until they had become posted as to the
clay" of things around the mill gener-
ally. The Office doors were never
locked, and so the thieves had no
trouble about getting into the room in
which the safe had stood. The burg
lars will hardly profit by the haul they
made, as the county warrants can be
identified and offering them for sale
will only lead to the detection of the
thieves, one of whom is supposed to
have been "sent up" from Corvallis
once before for the robbery of Mr..
Hodes' gun store.
There are now two safes in Coryal-
lis which are not considered "burglar
proof" The other is the somewhat
oldfashioned affair at 7. E. Cauthorn's S
store which was robbed some ten years
ago by the very simple process of a
steel punch and hammer, by which
the thieves made hole large. enough
to put their hands in and take the
money, some $780,, out of the inner
till. In this instance the operators
were never discovered, and Mr.. Cau-
thorn's safe to this day is only the
repository of books and papers, the
tell-tale tunnel through its side having
been patched over by one of our local
blacksmiths. These safes may be very
use ul in case of fire, but time is
proving that "burglar proof" safes of
the ordinary pattern are no obstacle at
all to. obtaining the money slowed away
in them when even an ordinary cracks
man comes along with his little drill.
1t is thought the operators in the affair
of Sunday night will be hunted down
and brought to justice.

A Loan to the City of Chicago.

Tho Hon. SHELBY NJ. CULLoM OF Illinois
lacks IN opinion upon n subject that does
not admit Of reasonable indccision. Our
esteemed contemporary. the Chicago Her.
aid. the forefront OF the Chicago Fair move-
ment. though not in apology for tho at
tempted swindle Of Government loan.
asked Mr.. CULLoM. lately in Chicago.
whether no was in favor OF the desired
s5.oOO.OoO loan by Congress. His response
was. II don't know yet whether I am or
not"
Mr.. CULLoM's reason for uncertainty was
his doubt whether any more money is need
cd ut present. and curiosity rs to what had
already become OF the amount raised from
the reported provision Of eleven millions
five millions from tho city OF Chicago. five
millions from its citizens. and n million
from the State OF Illinois. Then. thinks Mr..
CULLoM. no may vote for n further loan. IL
he thinks that money Is absolutely needed.
Appropriating Federal money for the Fair
would. in fact. DO making q Government
loan to tho city Of Chicago. That ravenous
town agreed to produce tho Fair upon II
scale entirely fitting to tho requirements
OF tho occasion. After her promises,
which spread glttcring color over
tho subtle Vaccinations OF New York
and Pennsylvania Republicans. the Fair has
no requirement which can justly como
within the consideration Of Congress. To
say that money is needed to make the Ex-
position as magnificent as It ought to he is
merely local ingenuity for raising the neces-
sary fund. 1t Is II swindle In invention and
facts.
Mr.. CrLLoM should give up all doubt upon
the subject. and II he would appear as a
truly worthy senator from Illinois and can
dilatc for President, go to work to prevent
the disgrace Of the chief city OF his State by
making her hustle to raise tho money. and
not east disrrcdt on the country by giving
any such cheap show as she lately threat
encd to give unless the Government would
pay her not to.

Why He Leaves.

The Rev. DR., PAGE, n Presbyterian minis.
ter OF this town. has resigned his passionate.
preaching his farewell sermon last Sunday.
and II is understood that he will pass over
into the Episcopal Church and It's ministry.
He refuses himself to say anything about
his Intentions as to such change. neither
confirming nor denying the report. 1t may
be assumed. therefore. that he will follow
the Baptist DR.. BRIDGEMAN into the Episco-
pal Church.
The reason for this step is probably not
any radical change In his doctrnal opinions
and convictions. but preference for the
order. system. and methods OF the Episco-
pal Church. He Is not u Presbyterian her
etic seeking refuge In more liberal sur
roundings. He leaves Presbyterianism
without undertaking to assail It's doctrines.
and with no soreness because OF any as
saults made upon him. His standing among
the Presbyterinns has always been good.
and the people Of his immediate church arc
reluctant to part with him. He has made
no nproar In tho denopination to afford
excuse for his going. but has gone quietly.
The Episcopal Church suits him better and
he will be more ut home In It.
Tho Rev. DIR. PAGE. therefore. Is simply
following the example OF many lay Presby-
terians who are now found In Episcopal
churches. They have changed their ecclcsi.
astical allegiance because they are attracted
by tho Episcopal liturgy and wero repealed
by the severe simplicity OF tho worship and
the hard logic OF the doctrines OF Presby-
tcrianism. They wanted to crafty their
desire for worship without being required
to graphic with the knotty questions OF
prcdestination. preterition. and effectual
calling. In other words. they wanted to
pray In peace.
That feeling Is likely to extend among
Presbytcrians ut this time, when their
whole communion Is agitated over the West
minister Confession. when heresy trials are
beginning. and the membership are ex.
pected to range themselves on one side or
the other Of tho fight Many OF them are
longing to get out OF the dilemma. for they
care little about the questions In contro-
versy. but have n strong religious senti.
ment. for which they want to find com.
Portable expression. They are tired Of
hearing about theology; they want to think
only Of religion. OF the others who are in
the fight US bitter partisans. o part are
tending to stricter Calvinism than ever,
and part will pass over logically into ag.
Mysticism.
II DR.. PAGE We're a layman, his change to
tho Episcopal Church would excite no re.
mark. SO strong is the movement OF the
Presbyterian aity In that direction. in the
great towns more especially. 1t is only be.
cause he Is n minister that the step pro.
vokes comment. and reasonably so. II he
Is tired Of the controversies and metaphys.
Ical discussions Of current Presbyterian.
ism. may he not he representative OF many
others in tho ministry who share the feel.
ing which Is so strikingly manifested by
the lnity?
On all sides tho religious situation is full
OF interest.

ment. Fishing Is gentle and harmless
sport. almost invariably carried on without
noise or other disturbance Of the public
peace and quiet: and there Is no good reason
why persons who indulge In this pursuit
for purposes Of recreation should not be
permitted to do so on Sunday.
Our law on the subject OF Sunday fishing
is contained In section 265 OF the Penal
Code, which prohibits "all shooting. hunt.
ing. fishing. playing. horse racing. gaming.
or other public sports. exercises or shows
upon the first day OF the week. and all
noise disturbing the peace OF the day" An
infringement Of this prohibition Ia declared
to be Sabbath breaking. which offence is
punishable by fine OF not less
than five or moro than ten dollars
or by Imprisonment In county jail not ex-
cccding five days. or by both such fine and
imprisonment. II tho offender has pre-
viously been convicted OF Sabbath break
ing. the punishment must DO a fine OF not
less than ten or moro than twenty dollars.
and must include imprisonment for not less
than five or more than twenty days.
The statute permits fruit to be sold all
day on Sunday. and also confectionery and
newspapers. and thus directly sanctions the
carrying on OF business by the persons deal
ing In these articles. We cannot perceive
why it should DO legal and right for q news
boy to sell papers in tho streets OF New
York on Sunday morning and wrong for
him to fish In jamaica Bay on Sunday after
noon.
There Ia scarcely any form Of recreation
more quiet or sober than fishing. and unless
people are to be forbidden from seeking rec
reation ut all on Sunday 1t seems to US that
this sport should be permitted instead Of
being prohibited by the Sunday laws.
