A Degenerate Preacher.

Rey. II. J. E. Campbell, for twelve
years Baptist minister at Roseburg and
later United Breshren preacher, has got
little tough notoriety OF late by break
ing up the family of an old man in "a
lem, says the Eugene Guard. The old
man, formerly lived in Roseburg where he
got acquainted with the minister The
former has married son who is sick
with consumption. After the minister
was expelled from the U. B. church, he
made his home with the old man living
off Of him and frequently borrowing
money. He also paid much attention to
the sick mans wife, sitting up with her
until or 3 O'Clock. The minister pre-
vailed ON the wife to borrow money for
him from the old man, who finally COM
PEELED him 10 leave. Still the wife i'm
portuned for money, which was refused,
as the old man did not have more than
enough 10 help him through with his son.
A day or two ago all his money was
stolen from his pocket book which he
kept undeS his pillow, and he IS COM
PEELED 10 ask public charity. Mr.. Camp
bell was advised to leave town to avoid
punishment at the hands of the citizens.

A New Volume.

With the issue of to-day the TINES
MoUSTAINEER began its fourteenth year of
existence, the two papers having been con-
soldated by the present proprietor in Aug
ust, 1882. The TIMES was first, published
on April 9th, 1880, and the MoUNTAINEER
on April l, 1860. During all these long
years the two papess, singly and cOllec-
lively, have advocated measures which
have been proved by the logic Of events to
have been for the best interests of this
community, and in the future the TMEs-
MoUNrAINEER will have the same object in
view. The publication is too old to follow
the puerile plan of holding a jubilee on
each anniversary of its birth, and a simple
statement of the fact is sufficient.

An Open River.


Hon. q. N. Denny, state senator from
MuItnomah county and father Of the Chi
nese pheasant in Oregon, was here Friday
from Portland. Mr. Denny is chairman of
the special senate committee on an open
river, and he came up to consult with Sen
ator J. 81. Raley. who is also a member of
the committee, with relation to plans.
l. Is the committees intention to present
a detailed and comp etc report to the senate
at the next session, regarding state port
aye railway at The Dalles, the idea being
to show as early as possible the actual
benefit that Eastern Oregon will reap from
the building OF the road. Estimates will
be made of the tonnage shipped by raj, and
the saving that would result from an open
rlyer. The probable cost of a portage rail-
wav will also be given.
Another member of the committee is
Senator J W. Steiwer, of Wasco county
It is learned from Mr. Raley that the three
senators will probably go over the ground
and prepare their report in November. after
the wheat product of this section is shipped.
as this will afford basis for estimates.

CASCADE LOCKS, Aug. IL, 1898.
This is very quiet day for this usually
busy place. There is no sound of the stone
cutters hammer nor ring of the tool sharp
eners' anvil to-day. 1 do not know what
to call it some call it strike, but think
is only a suspension of work for few
days. The contractors, owing to the gen.
eral financial distress, were not able to pay
their stone-cutters promptly on regular pay
day yesterday, so they refused to go to
work this morning. No doubt but their
money will be at hand in a few days. This
has been bad week SO far for the work.

days of the week, owing to the strike at the
quarries last week l believe. Peace anil

THE worlds fair will be closed on Sunday. It is doubtful if the good claimed will actually result from this measure. It is the genius of our free American institutions that each person is the keeper of his own conscience. There are thousands of good, earnest christians in this country whose reli- gious teachings and feelings would point to no harm in Il visit to the fair grounds, and it appears to us rather unjust that they should be forced to forego this pleasure by those opposed to Sunday opening. The latter could easily meet all their religious abliga- tions by remaining at home. while the former would violate no moral law by a stroll through the park. We Ques- tion if christianity will be benefited by this ruling. In no country on earth has religion done so much for people as in the United States, and it has done it here in the face of the widest lata- tude comportable with the secular law of the land.

ANOTHER terrible lynching smirched the good name of Arkansas on Tues day morning. This time the tragedy occurred at Bearden, in Ouachita coun- ty, and the victims were three negroes, who were remorselessly strung up to telegraph poles. Their offense was a horrible one, it is true-the cold-blood- ed murder and robbery of young mer- chant, whose skull was crushed with an axe. The fact that the brutal as- sassins confessed their crime does not palliate the equally heinous crime of the mob, who are as guilty of capital otfense as the prisoners they hanged.
