siderable Tes timony Taken.
The examination Of George N.
Reynolds, accused of the robb cry
of the Weston postoffice, was begun
before United States Commissioner
Bean, sitting in the state circuit
court room, yesterday morning.
During the day seven witnesses
were examined, and the case was
then continued until today. The
government was represented by
District Attorney Lawrey and NJ. A
Butler, and the defendant by Mes
srs. Stillman and Pierce, Of Pend
Teton, and Mr. Powers, Of Weston.
The first witness called was L.
R. Van Winkle, postmaster of Wes-
ton. He testified principally in
relation to the construction of the
safe which was plundered and the
interior fixings of the Office. He
was away when the robbery occur
ed, and when he returned he spoke
to Reynolds about it. The latter
expressed regrets that the robbery
should have taken place while he
was in charge of the Office. Mr..
Van Wrinkle stated that prior to
the deed he loaned Reynolds $50
and indorsed his note for $40.
Reynolds received $20 per month
as water commissioner and SIC as
marshal.
Thomas Purcell, the next wit
ness, stated that he was in the
postoffice shortly before the rob-
berry and saw about $40 in change
in the drawer of the safe. He
would not say how much more
money might have been in the
drawer, as he did not see it all.
For all he knew, there might have
been $1,000 in the drawer.
G. w. Blair was in the postoffice
when Reynolds discovered that the
that the safe had been plundered.
Striking dramatic attitude, Mr..
Blair told how the defendant acted
when he saw the screws and clasp
of the safe scattered around the
floor. On cross-examination, Mr..
Blair said hehad noticed footprints
in the dust in the rear rooms, in
dicating that the robber had pass
ed through these rooms in enter ing
the postoffice.
Joe Morgan was sitting in front
of the saloon on the night of the
robbery and saw Reynolds leave the
postoffice on his way to dinner
He did not see anybody enter OF
leave the building afterwards, but
he did not sit in such a position as
to command view of the whole
structure.
Dir. Osburn and Ed. Sailing saw
Reynolds shortly after the robbery,
with about $40 in gold and So in
change. On cross-examination
they said they had frequently seen
Reynolds with money.
William Blair, groceryman oi
Weston, testified that on Septem-
Der 8 Reynolds paid his grocery
bill Of $16.45.

The Russian Thistle.

The Russian thistle, which has
proved rather destructive to grain,
is on exhibition at the office Of
Bentley & Ferguson, in Pendleton.
This thistle was cut on the farm of
e. N. Smith, seven miles south of
that town. There is a great deal
about the place, and also on the
farm of Ed. Ditchenwalter, S.
Henderson, Milo Palmer and John
Denton. 1t was introduced into
this country by the carelessness of
North Dakota seedmen, who mixed
the seed Of the thistle with some
millet seed which Mr.. Ditchenwal-
ter ordered, and which he sowed,
the thistle being the result.

THERE never was time in the
history Of the nation when insur-
ance was so cheap and when the
necessity oiit was so great as at
the present. Every man who has
a dependant should secure protec-
tion for such one by taking pol
icy in some responsible order. AL
most any order is good enough for
membership, and the man or wo-
man seeking protection fos those
nearest and dearest to them, can
not miss it by uniting with any
good fraternal beneficial order. In.
surance in an old line insurance
company is too expensive for per-
son Of ordinary means to carry;
but in a fraternal beneficiary order
the cost is so reasonable that q
poor man can easily meet the ex-
pense if he 50 desires. Noone pos
sessing spark Of love or affection
for their dear ones would hesitate a
a moment to give the protection
when assured Of the small cost at
tached thereto, Now, to any men
or women who have not secured
insurance on their lives in favor Of
their dependents we say; Come,
join our order and protect your
loved ones. --Frater.

0uR order could leard a very
valuable lesson from the doctrin Of
the Quaker, or Friends Church,
That organization teaches, and
early instills in its members the
fact that there is no profit or gain
in any Of the courts, and they put
it in this way: "The man who
wins, loses, and the man who loses
is robbed" 1t comes about as near
the pratical truth as it is possibly
can; in fact, its truth itself. How
many have learned that truth to
their sorrow? Our organization
has kept pretty clear Of the courts,
considering all things, and now it
is entirely too late in the day to re.
sort to a method whereit is sopub-
licly known and clearly under
stood that Che that wins loses, and
he that loses is robbed" Brothers,

in our order let us settle them out

The following from the Salem
Post is ola very serious character,
and puts new phase on the char
acter, Of some Of the members Of
the last legislature, and it is no
wonder they stood in with railroad
commissions and jobbery gener-
ally. Some Of the rooms in the
state house are undergoing a few
needy repairs in the way Of kalso-
mining and frescoingthe ceilings.
The room occupied by some of the
committees during the last legisla-
ture were left in a very filthy con-
dition; the carpets were spoiled by
tobacco juice and the ceilings
ruined by smoke. 1t looks very
much as though some Of the mem
bers or the clerks might have been
raisedin apig pen, if their quarters
were to be judged. Many Of tie
chairs and tables were also broken
and rendered useless, all Of which
are Of the most expensive quality,
and when The next session is called
these broken articles will have to
be replaced by new ones.

PETER II. BURNETT, ex-governor
Of California, who was a pioneer
0regonian, left an estate valued at
about $4,000. His will, which
has been filed for probate, is re-
markable for the advice it gives
rather than for the bequests. 1t
was made four years ago when
Burnett was eighty-four years old.
The seven sentiments which the
simple old governor desired to per-
petuate in his will are: "Pay yuor
honest debts; never disgrace the
family; be just to all men, yourself
included; assist your honest, sober
and Industrious relatives; property
is only desirable for two purposes;
Toprocure the necessaries OF lie
and to be more able to be chari-
table; be intimate only with good
people; have faith in God and your
country" Governor Burnett had
$65,000 in government bonds to
back up his first sentiment and
the remaining six came easy.
