BiOEraphfes of Living Persons

We seem now to have added a new
terror TO life In histories of the living.
Are these biographies and bibliogra-
phies OF eminent men subtle hints to
them that it is time to go? At a GER
tain university, when a professor or
head Of a college hung on unconscion-
ably long, Prof, Herkomer was called
In to paint his portrait. The treatment
was generally successful. So with
these histories Of the living. A life of
Stamboulof was In the press when he
was murdered, and several eminent
men of letters have recently commit
ted suicide by autobiography. 1t is a
proof of her majesty's excellent consti-
tuition that she survived all the Jubi-
lee histories. We must beware Of a re-
lapse in 1897, when she will break
George Ills record for reigning.

Church Trouble.

The little town of Heppner has been
very much worked up over the charges
and counter-charges that have been
made during the past four months
among the members of the Methodist
Episcopal church, which reached a
climax on Wednesday in church
trial and an arrest. Charges had been
preferred against c. E. Fell, for un.
christian conduct, and the trial was
called for Wednesday, but, through
some mistake in the wording of the
charges, the trial was postponed until
Friday. While the question was being
discussed, the constable walked into
the church and arrested Rev. J. NJ
Dennison on charge of coercion by
threats. He waived examination and
was bound over to the grand jury in
the sum of 5000. He Immediately gave
bonds and was released from custody.
1t is the opinion that the trouble be.
fore being settled will completely
break the NJ. E. church there, as the
lines are very closely drawn and each
side seems determined to push the
matter to the utmost. Further de-
velopments are awaited with much in
terest.

TAYLOR ON HIS WAY EAST.

Sues Out Habeas Corpus Writ at
Omaha.
The Eoening Telegram of yesterday
has the following:
Saginaw, Mich, who left here Satur-
day night, having in charge the WE'LL
known Rev. o. D. Taylor, who is
wanted in various places in the east
for obtaining money by false preten-
prisoner, who has faith in the habeas
CO: jus. At Omaha today, according
to special dispatch, Faylor's friends
got out a writ of nabeas corpus, and
when the train reaches town Sergeant
Parker is expected to have some more
fun lodging the officers and the
lawyers.
Owen ran most successful bluff in
getting his prisoner out of The Dalles
without the requisition papers being
in his pocket, but as Saginaw, destina.
tion, is still some distance off, Rev.
Taylor may delay his arrival some
time. 1t seems there are large num-
Der of people in the east who are ex.
ceedingly eager to meet Mr.. Taylor
and ask him about a piece of land in
The Dalles.
it was no fear of habeas corpus pro-
ceedings that hurried MIR. Taylor away
from The Dalles in a buggy. 1t was
the fact that the officer had missed his
-requisition papers and left them lying
on table in the Office of the gov
ernor's private secretary at Salem.
The papers were found the next day
and sent to Chief Mimic, of this city,
for delivery to Owens, but the latter,
during his stay in Oregon, never called
on an officer to make himself known.
When he reached The Dalles, he must
have discovered his loss, but, not
wanting to wait he successfully ran
bluff and got his prisoner out of the
state.

Crops in. sherman County.

]. E. Mccormack returned from
Sherman county yesterday, and re-
ports the condition of the harvest fair.
In places there will be a good yield,
and in others about half crop. He
says the grasshoppers are very numer-
Gus and are destroying corn and gar
den vegetables. They will GO into a
cornfeld, and after a few hours will
leave the stocks bare of every blade.
In gardens they feast on cabbage,
beans, peas, etc., and apparently there
is no way to guard against their
ravages. He saw one farmer who
saved his corn by scattering straw out
side OF the fences, and in the evening
hoppers would congregate In this.
The next morning, while the hay was
perfectly alive with grasshoppers he
set 1t on fire and incinerated them.
By this means he saved his crop; but
others who took no precautions suf-
fered the loss of almost the entire
yield. Another instance he mentioned
where man covered his cabages with
burlap sacks to protect them. Not
withstanding these disadvantages the
farmers of Sherman county feel very
much encouraged and expect good re-
turns from their harvest.
