At the NJ. e. Church.

AS previously announced, the theme
yesterday morning, was: ''The Taxation
of Church Property
The pastor referred to the fact that the
"Oregon Secular Union," an infidel or
ganization, had recently sent to the
legislature petition asking for the tax
alton of church property, and that, in
view of this fact, it became his duty to
discuss the question before the congre-
cation.
He stated that the reasons assigned
for this action by the infidels were: 1st,
That the Exemption of church property
from Taxation would result in the Union
of Church and State" and: End, ''That
such exemption increased the taxes on
other property, thereby virtually taxing
infidels for the support of the church. )"
Referring to the first of the foregoing
reasons, the speaker said that it was alb
surd, for every one is aware that the
Protestant churches are unit in their
opposition to the union of church and
state and the large number of denomina-
tions, differing in doctrine, and separate

thing as organic union of church and
state an impossibility.
On the second point he asserted that
the infidel was not even indirectly taxed
for, or on account of, the church for it is
Public Institution of great value to any
community, not only because of it's re-
ligious character, but on account of its
ethical and benevolent features. 1t also
gives character to place and increases
the value of adjacent property, thereby
more than counterbalancing the loss to
the public treasury, which the infdel
declares is occasioned by exemption.
! The speaker advanced a number OF
propositions to show that the taxation
of church property would be direct
violation of the principle of reciprocity
and would add an additional burden to
those already borne by the Christian
people. He declared that this attack
was calculated to check the stream oi
| benevolence, and instanced case where

The West shore.

The West Shore is coming to the front
with rapid strides, and is showing great
improvement both in the character and
quality of its reading matter, and the
style and forcefulness of its illustrations.
Its illustrations are confined to Oregon
and Washington and through them the
stranger is made acquainted with the
beauties of Oregon scenery, and at the
same time is informed as to our business
pursuits and developments. 1t is a
handsome souvenir to send to far away
friends, and is invaluable to such of our
citizens as desire to understand and
appreciate Oregon. 1t should be in every
household. The magazine is now under
the business management of Mr.. J. NJ.

Two French physicians, Binet Fere,
connected with what is recognized as the
most authentic school of hypnotic study
in Europe, the Salpetriere of Warts, main
tain that there is absolutly no barrier to
the power of the hypnotizer once in COM
plete possession of his subject, They
demonstrate by many instances that it is
possible to make the involuntary agent
of crime commit it hours and even days
after the will act by which it is instigated !;
and then SO completely to efface recollec-
ton of it as to compel the agent to deny
it with sincerity and conviction, thus cat
tacking the witness box'' as recent
commentator on hypnotism puts it.

Success Frightening.

In this paper today we publish letter
from a member of the legislature. He
makes very practical suggestion and
one which should be carried out without
the least procrastination. The attention
of the Eastern Oregon members of the
legislature is directed to this communica-
ton. 1t is probable that they are already
in possession and are considering it. We
want ''an open river" and this offers a
safe, just and quick way of securing the
next thing to the real article. The people
of Eastern Oregon are in earnest about
this matter, and when an intelligent peo-
pie are in earnest no obstacle, from cor
porate or individual sources, can block
their progress. Let an open river be
the watchword, and success be the only
thing which will put stop to the
demand.-PendLetOn East OreqOnian.

Ice Very Scarce.

General Superintendent Mcneil, of
the Union Pacific, who has just returned
to Portland, from trip over the lines of
the company says there is not particle
of ice on any of the lines of the Union
Pacific in Oregon or Washington, except
near Baker City, where pond is covered
with ice ten inches in thickness, but the
amount is too small to be worth harvest
ing. There is plenty of ice in Idaho,
near Pocatello. Ju low the icehouses
of the Union Pacific in this section are to
be stocked is not known, unless there
comes cold snap next month. Should
the weather remain mild a supply will
have to brought from Idaho or some
point on the line of the Northern Pacific.

Oyster sl,uokers. Eve Dis..e..

The oyster shuckers' eye disease" is
the title given by the professional staff
Of the Presby yterian Eye and Ear hos
'pital to a trouble affecting q large num-
ber of their patients at this season of
the year. It is believed that the pecul-
lar kind of liberation of the eyeball
which is known by this title is caused
by the juice Of the oyster touching the
cornea of an eye which has previously
been slightly injured. The doctors say
they can tell exactly when the oyster
season is at hand by the appearance of
patients with this complaint within
twenty-four hours after the opening Of
the packing establishments, and they
claim that this complaint disappears
promptly with the close Of the oyster
season.
The shuckers come to the institution
complaining that they have had their
eyes hurt by chip of the oyster shell,
but the ulcer is entirely different to the
physicians eye to that caused by an
abrasion from anything else, such as a
nail, chip of marble or rock, a pin, or
even a clean shell. A mere look at the
liberated cornea suffices to determine
that the patient Is an oyster shucker.
The disease yields easily to treatment,
and very frequently the patient is SO far
relieved of pain as to be able to return
to his work within twenty-four hours.
What is called the sterilizing treatment
is applied to the sufferers. 1t consists of
applying cocaine to the eye until all SEN
sibility has been lost, and then carefully
touching the ulcer ON the cornea with a
platinum wire heated to whiteness by a
galvanic ccurrent.-Baltimore American.

will give thirty days notice by publica-

NOT TO BE THRILLED WITH.
"lllinOis Blanky" in Marion County
Jail Smells POwder-He Repents
and Promises 10 Keep Quiet.

Sheriff CrOisan had another ex-
perience with the man Clark, who
is awaiting the action of the grand
jury, last night. Clark and Selden.
his accomplice in the Turner rob-
berry case, were kept together in the
murderers' cell which is guarded by
double doors, since they ATTEMPTED to
break Jail few days ago. Ever
since that tiLle the men have been
making threats of what they would
do and saying they would escape
before court met in June. They
kept up that kind of work until the
sheriff had them separated, think
ing they could not scheme so well
alone, Selden was put in cell on
the north, while Clark was kept in
the murderers' cell.
About supper time last night
when the officers went into the jail
they found Clark with the leg of his
canvas folding cot, which is an ash
stick three feet long and two inches
thick by three wide. The officers
were on the alert, as they had
heard of the threats he had made
during the day that he would "fix"
them when they came in. Clark
was standing in the corner of the
cell next to the door and pretty well
concealed from anyone outside. He
had his club raised and was in
tending to do his deadly work. The
sheriff pulled out his revolver and
demanded that the prisoner drop
the club. He refused to comply and
the sheriff shot at him which
brought him to obedience. CLARK
being close in the corner was nearly
out of reach Of gun shot from the
outside. The ball missed him anC
struck in the wall near by. This 81
frightened him that he dropped hi
club, seeing the sheriff was coming
in and meant business. He was pu
into the dark cell and this morning
he apologizcd to the officers ant
promised to be quiet and obey orders
Clark is an ex-convict of the peni
tertiary Of California and is one o
the toughest characters ever con
fined in the Marion county Jail. HI
stands a fair show to spend a tern
in the Oregon penitentiary and i
not making anything in his favo
by his actions in the Jail here.

DIDN'T WANT TO PAY.-Sherift
e. NJ. Croisan spent Thursday and
Friday in the north end of the
county on official business. Yester-
day afternoon he encountered one Of
those accidents, and met one those
persons which is liable to happen to
any officialwhile performing his duty.
While in the vicinity Of Woodburn,
he called on Mrs. Keeling, widow of
A. Reiling, who owns large farm
and also owes a delinquent tax of
S1O4.S4. When the sheriff went to
the farm he found Mrs. Reiling in
in the garden. He told her who he
was and his business, when she be-
came very angry and ordered him
off the place and waved potato hoe
over his head in very lively man
ner and declared she would not pay
the tax. She also threatened to
shoot him. The sheriff went back
to Woodburn and got the marshal
and levied an attachment on person
al property in the form of a team
which he brought up to this city
last night. She will probably con-
clude to settle her taxes and take
the team home,

a PLEASANT PARTY. At the
handsome residence of Prof. and
Mrs. Parvin last evening was the
gathering of about fifty happy
young people, principally Prof. Par.
Vln's pupils in the conservatory of
music. That part of the University
being largely composed of young
ladies, the band and a few Young
men were invited, lest the evening
might be dull if only ladies were
present. Numerous schemes were
invented for entertainment, but
none was more thoroughly enjoyed
than luncheon of ice cream, LEM
onade, candies, nuts and at least
six kinds of cake, ranging from
brown cake, fruit cake, chocolate
cake, lemon cake to cream cake
straight. In the midst of the even

presented to the Professor a large,
