The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1893-11-03


Rev ] W Bushong Sunday right on
The Lean Cattle" was listened 10 by
very large congregation. The discourse
went long way out of the beaten track,
was largely statistical and very interesting
throus hont. Mr. Bushong dila,ed at
length on The amount of money annually
expended in this country on luxuries-
horses, carriages, fashions, cigars. wine,
and dogs, ana then summed up the cost
OF the hone rabie adjuncts to the comfort
OF cisiiizaticn-educatlon, science, chur-
ches. and libraries. ny this means he
proved conclusively that the people of
the United States paid more money an
nnaiiy for the keep OF their dogs, than
they did tor the maintenance of their
ministers. Coming down to- local appli-
cations, he showed how in Astoria $50
500 were spent on luxuries every wear.
and how $50, 100 were provided for the
propagation of the gospel, temperance,
and education, leaving over $4,000 vast
ed In this city every year on useless
things. "You pay your eight ministers
mere about $4,000 a year, said the doctor,
.and you spend on your dogs just about
$1,000, so, In Astoria anyway, | am glad
10 see that the preachers are little ahead
1t the dogs Assovian.
SPRoNoGLE ARRESTED Last night a
dispatch was received from Fresno. Calf.
stating that Dr Sponogle had been arrested
there. Sheriff Jackson left ON the noon
train for Salem to secure n reauisition and
will leave on the overland for Fresno. The
crime committed Is one of the worst in the
whole category. and if found guilty. the
offender should receive the full sentence of
the law. The past record of this man seems
to he very rocky. According to the Browns
vile Times his wife and daughter died
very suddenly at Santa Rosa, Calf. Their
bodies were eXhumed and found full Of
POISON \ lynching party was organized: /:
but Sponogle escaped. At MarshGeld. the
Times says he was again married. and his
wife died suddenly. Then he ran away
with young girl. He seems TO have been
a tramp doctor, only remaining in places a
snort time. II these things are correct. and
they probably are in substance. it is strange
that be kept his California name.
