Big Divorce Case.

A former Eugene lady has just got q
breach of promise verdict for 1000 in
Boston court. 1t will be recalled that
months since Anna d. Van Houten,
divorced wife of Hon. B.. G. Van
Houten, of Spokane Falls, Wash. sued
one Asa P. Morse, of Cambridge, Mass,
for $50, 900 for breach of promise of mar
riage. Some of our citizens are ac-
quainted with the lady in the case, as
she lived in Eugene couple of years
before her marriage to Mr.. Van Houten,
being a school teacher. Her maiden
name was Anna ID. Smith, and she
bore good name in that city.
Mrs. Van Houten is a prepossessing,
stylish woman of 33 years, and AZ years
the junior of the defendant. The de-
fendaDt bought her wedding outfit,
insisting that the clothing should be
marked IN" and had her destroy all
her former clothing marked "V" as he
disliked that name; he sent her to
watering places, and expensive board
ing places, paying all the expenses, be-
side lavishing other attentions upon
her. He purchased her $3.50 engage
ment ring. He Is estimated TO be worth
between 5000, 900 and $500, 900. He ad-
dressed her in numerous letters as
"Dear" and "Dear Ann" ETC., closing
then. with "Much love" and other en-
dearing terms. She proved first-class
character, her virtue not being at
tackled. He loaned her at different
times about $4,000, but always took
her note.

ACQUITTED OF MURDER.
Verdict at Chehalis in the Jorgen
Anderson Case.

CHEHALIs, Oct. 2O.-The jury in the
Jorgen Anderson murder case returned
a verdict of acquittal, after being out
about three hours. The testimony Of
Anderson in his own defense yesterday
was that before he shot, Hardy ad-
vanced upon him with CLUB, threw
that at him and then made toward his
hip pocket as if to pull gun. Mrs. An
derson testified that before the shooting
in Andsrson's absence, Hardy came to
her house, where she was engaged in
preparing dinner, and said that she
knew what he had come so often for,
and wanted to know whether she was
going to do it. She told him to leave
the house or she would kill him. Judge
LaBghorne, in commenting on the YER
dict, said that he could not agree with
the theory Of the killing, which had
evidently Influenced the jury In coming
to its conclusion. He believed that An
derson had advanced upon Hardy with
his gun, and the latter had thrown the
club in his own defense. He doubted
If Hardy had ever made approaches TO
the woman, and he believed Anderson
was inordinately jealous of Hardy with
out sufficient cause. Yet 1t did not APP
pear to him that Anderson had shot to
kill. He was glad Anderson was ac-
quilted The charge was murder in
the first degree. Anderson and his
wife will return to their home near
Mineral City today.

AGAIN THE BRIGGS CASE.
Synod Says Final Judgment Has
Been Rendered.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Oct. 2O.-The
Presbyterian synod bad hot session as
a result of consideration of the report of
the judicial committee, the main por-
ton of which was on the Briggs case.
The majority of the committee decided
on all the points raised that final judg-
ment was rendered by the general as
sembly In 1898, clearly disposing of all
interlocutory questions no matter when
pending. No minority report was
presented, and the Rev. Dr. Miller
made speech against any talking over
or voting upon all questions. DIR.
Francis Grown spoke against the report
and the Rev. Stephen Hopkins said,
with some heat, that the general as
sembly arrived at its decision by the
exercise of "brute power" This created
an uproar and Hopkins changed his
words to "the exercise of its power"
After further heated discussion the
committee report was adopted by a
large majority.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-At the session of

was expected, was read and adopted
with very little opposition. 1t showed
that the temple had been largely erect

unions in the United States having
contributed in excess of 800. The rev.
enue is now in the neighborhood OF
$3.50, 600 year. These women's unions
already owned a controlling interest in
the building, with the privilege of pur-
chasing the rest of the stock. A plan
is now on foot to raise 81 $50, 900 within
two years to pay off the Indebtedness.
At the afternoon session memorial ser.
vices were held for the deceased mem
bers. The night meeting wss opened
