Church Notes.

Contributed
1t is believed that more than twice
the number of people in Weiser now
attend church every Sunday than did
two years ago. Considerable progress
surely.
Probably three times As many per-
sons are in the various Sunday schools
as have been at any previous time in
the history Of Weiser.
A wide awake Sunday school has
been organized at the Hemingway
schoolhouse 1t is under the care OF
the Congregational Y.P.S C.E.
A very enjoyable Y P.S. c. E. socia
was held last Tuesday evening at the
Congregational church. The Baptis
Society we're guests of the Congrega-
tional.
Cannot the Christian people of Wei
ser in some way prevail upon GU
business houses to keep their places
closed on Sunday? There is no neet
for Sunday trade; nor is it consisten
with Sunday rest or worship to hav
our shops open for work or trade.
Many farmers seem to think tina
it is necessary to work on Sunday
But it will be found that no man eve
yet got ahead one cent by Sunda
work. To remember the Sabbath da
and keep it holy will pay financial
as we'll as physically and morally.
Last Sunday was a sort of temper
ance Sunday at the Congregations
church. In the morning the subjec
was "Deliver us from evil" the Sur
day school lesson was a temperate
lesson, as was also the subject {
the Y. P. S. G. E. meeting
And in the evening the subject WI

Mr.. J. T. Wolfe, Miss Frances
Galloway and Miss Fannie Mitchell
have been employed by our school
board to teach the Weiser public
schools the coming term. 1t is safe
to say that with this excellent corps OF
teachers our schools will be kept in
as prosperous condition as any in
the state. 1t is the intention to en-
ploy an extra teacher for the ensuing
year, but as yet selection has not
been made.

G. R. White, OF Meadows, deputy
sheriff, arrived in town on Saturday
last, having in charge one James Ed
dy, committed to the county Jail on
a charge of grand larceny by Justice
of the Peace Geo. G. Rigdon, of
Meadows precinct. Eddy was no
sooner delivered into the custody of
Tailor Cobbs than he employed the
services of Attorney Frank Harris
to secure a writ of habeus corpus.
The writ was granted on Monday
morning, when the case was received
by his Honor, Judge Nugent, who
carefully considered all the evidence
on which the petitioner was commit
ted and found from them that no
criminal offense had been committed
and that he was illegally restrained
of his liberty. 1t was therefore or
dered that the petitioner be at once dis
charged. Justices of the peace should
remember that their Office is one of lin
tied powers, and that they should be
careful in exercising them; that they
should not step beyond the limits
If they do, they and their bondsmer
can be made to suffer.

The condition of the roads leading
to Weiser is disgrace to the resident
civilization, and that part of it in the
suburbs of Salubria would make a
Hottentot blush. We are looking for
quite number of outside folks this
year to investigate our county, and fol-
man used to anything half way de-
cent in the road line to make the trip
from here to Indian Valley would
disgust him with the county and ev.
cry thing in it. If we have any roac
officers or county commissioners, i
is time that they got a move on then
and at least 90 over and white wasl
the chuck holes and make them pas
sable for the time being even il
permanent improvement would be t.
exhausting an effort.

AcCULLouGH-At the family residence in
June Is. 1894, John Mccullough, aged
II years
The subject OF the above notice was
born in County Tyron, Ireland, in
1928, and was therefore at the time
of his death about seventy -one years
old. He came to the United States
in the year 1885 and to the Pacifc
coast in 1852, and engaged in the
mercantile business in Southern Ore
gon. In 1852 he followed up the
gold excitement Of eastern Oregon
and Idaho, making his headquarters
at Canyon City, in Grant County,
Oregon, where he resided until about
ten years ago, when he removed to
Weiser, where he has ever since made
his permanent home. Late last fall
he visited San Francisco, in the hopes
OF obtaining relief for a chronic all
ment from which he had been suf-
ferer for several years. While at
San Francisco he was taken with a
severe spell of pneumonia, and his
life was dispaired OF for several days,
but rallied sufficiently to return home.
Soon after his return he suffered a
relapse and continued to grow weaker
until the end peacefully came on
Monday morning last at one o'clock
"Old Me-" as he was Familiarity
called, was man of the strictest
business habits and scrupulously hon
est in all his dealings. Being man
of wide experience and business
ability, he had accumulated consid.
cradle fortune, variously estimated at
from one hundred thousand to G
quarter Of a million dollars, which
was bequeathed by will to his sur
viving wife and nephews, neices and
grand-neices, lie having died child
less.

Can any one honestly declare whether
cleveland is a Democrat or Republican,
Shreveport Caucasian.
MIR. Cleveland's Democracy is SO
well known he does not have to 90
about displaying a sign to let peo-
pie know whore he stands. The Re-
publicans curse him, the Populites
curse him, the Coxyites curse him.
the Silver Bugs curse him, and vet
a Democratic Congress goes right
along carrying out his policy and
patriotic endeavors to tighten the
burdens of the masses. Hanged if
we don't believe he is a Democrat
to the backbone, and in the years
to come his devotion to principle
IN the midst of traitors and insane
vituperation will be the admiration
OF hosts of Democrats.

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON. ID. G. May 4, 1894.
President Cleveland and his Cabinet
are pursuing the even tenor of their off
cial duties just as though there were nc
such thing in existence as Coxey's army
The President has promised to attend the
unwilling of the Martha Washington
monument at Fredericksburg, Virginia,
on the 10, inst, and tomorrow Secretary
Herbert will leave for the Pacific coast to
inspect the Government Navy Yards in
that section.
Coxey's march upon the Capitol was
one of the most farcical fizzles of the age.
Today he and Carl Brown Christopher Co
lumbus Jones are being tried in the police
court for violating the law in attempting
to make speeches from the steps Of the
Capitol. They are not likely to be severe
ly probably small fines as a
warning. If the foolish men now on their
way to Washington to join Coxey could
get within smelling distance of the pest
hole IN which the poor Coxeyites arc con-
fined, Coxey says camped-they would
turn back at once. Inasmuch as Coxey
was told by the Health officer of the dan
ger attendant upon putting those poor
devils in a marsh partially filed with
dumpings OF city filth, with an open sew
er on one side and stagnant green scumed
cesspools with malarial germs, it looks
as though he would be glad to gain little
additional notoriety by having a lot of
them die like dogs. Nearly all of the four
hundred men now there are half sick from
exposure and lack of proper food and the
daily inspections by the health officials
is followed by the ambulance carrying
some of them to the hospitals. Coxey.
being comfortably quartered at hotel.
says he intends to keep these men here
until they are joined by many thousands.
But he won't. Those who don't get sick
will desert. Every day some of them get
arrested for begging ON the streets and
are sent down as Migrants.
In addition to recovering S57,513 "a
paid out on fraudulent or illegal men,
Mons, the active Democratic management
)f the Pension Bureau has saved the
government in the neighborhood of a |
million dollars during the last twelve
months by the discovery of frauds and |
ne stopping OF accrued payments upon |
hem. That is just the sort of thing the |
,eople have right to expect from the
Democratic management Of every branch |
N from day to day.
The Republicans in Congress are not
Ioing much talking this week about the
pecial election last Tuesday in the third
ohio Congressional district, at which the
)emocrats elected Paul j. Sorg to Con-
ress by substantial majority. A week
go they were boasting that the district
'ould 90 Republican as a protest against
arif reform. 1t seems that the Demo-
rats OF that district are like those of all
ne other districts; they want tariff re-
'rm, and the Democratic Senators can
OF give it to them any to soon.
