HIGH PRICED PrrcH.-Hugh Mcclure,
president and travelling representative
OF the Pacific Paper company, Of Port
land, was In Medford last Saturday, and
one thing he did aside from taking his
usually large paper orders, was TO pur-
chase that piece of petrified pine and
pitch which was on exhibition at Hotel
Nash, and which he purchased for IS
and took to Portland with him. He will
sell that chunk of rock for $25 or we are
good guessers.

=JuDGE DUNCAN THgRE.-The state
board of equalization devoted yesterday
to hearing representative officers and
citizens from the counties OF the third
judicial district. County Judge Duncan
was present from Linn county to defend
its assessment against any possible evil
intent on the part OF the board in the
matter of raising it. In all classes of
property Linn county is assessed very
low in comparison with neighhoring
counties, but the Judge maintains that
property in Albany was listed last year
after after equalization by the state board
at within 10 or Is per cent of what il
would sell for, not at forced sale, but in
the ordinary course of business on good
terms to the purchaser. In answer to
inquiries by the board for purposes of
comparison he stated that Eugene is a
better business town than Albany from
various causes and that business proper
ty is more productive in Eugene than in
his own city. He hoped there would be
no raise in Linn county this year, but it
will be hard to make an equalization
without it.-Salem Statesman.

whers Did the Money Go.

The failure OF Williams and England
at Salem is developing some sensational
matter in connection with the settlement
OF the estate by the receiver. There is a
certificate OF deposit in ia vor of r. Will
liams, brother OF George Williams for
s23, 900, and the receiver Hugh p. Nc
Nary, denies that tie bank ever received
such a sum OF money. He also denies
that r. Williams paid to F. @. Baker
$24 $50 or any other sum out OF his per-
sonal funds and that Williams ever be-
came equitable holder OF note against
Baker. McNary also alleges that Geo.
Williams, as president, wrongfully ex-
ecuted his own personal unsecured
promisory notes TO said corporation and
wrongully drew money By such notes,
overdrafts and checks up 10 June 8. 1898,
Of over si5, 900.
That Geo. Williams as president then
took from the bank money TO paw inter-
est on notes he Owed Baker, aud in all
drew out OF the bank on his own unse-
cured Indebtedness to the amount OF
$65. 600 in all.
That on october 1. 1895, Geo. Will
liams as president and r. Williams his
brother, knowing that George was owing
the bank $65 ,0000, decided 10 X. Williams
all his real estate in Mnitnomah county
70 the amount of 81, 600 for which Il.
Williams has never paid cent, except
that be agreed to pay of the note OF $23,-

ROBBERY AT cRAwFoRDs-
WILLIE.
The Store of r. w. Moses Relieved
Considerable Merchandise.


The general merchandise store of
w. Moses was robbed last Tuesday night
in such wholesale manner that the
people rose up and determined to find
the thieves.
The goods had been placed In sacks
snd carried of on horseback. Several
things were found slong the road, and
tracked 70 the house Of Marshall Fox ,oc-
cupied by John Fox and wife, where
they were found under the house. Mar
shall and John Fox and Harry TooIe
were arrested by Constabies KIum and
Smith. The Fox boys acknowledged
their guilt, also 10 stealing from John
Scott's store and meat from q neighbor.
j. u. Moore and wife were at the Fox
house when the goods were being hid,
but there was no evidence impIicating
them at all. The Fox's are sons OF Eph-
Ram Fox. Poole went TO Brownsville
reSently from Sweet home and little is
known Of him.
The prisoners waived examination and
were brought 10 Albany this noon by
Constable Klum and Deputy Sheriff g.
V. Standish and placed in the county
Jail. The Fox boys are said to be vel
acquainted with Lloyd Montgomery.
There have been good many petty
thefts around Charlottesville, and it is
thought they will stop nov.

MONTGOMERY GUILTY.
Will be Hanged on Friday, Janu-
ary, 81, 1896.

The jury in the case OF the State
against Lloyd Montgomery for the muir
der of Daniel McKercher retired at 4 80
O'Clock yesterday and went to the Russ
House, where they had supper. They
were in favor OF murder in the lat de-
gree on the 9Th ballot and at 8 80 o'clock
appeared before Judge Burnett with
their verdict. The DgMocRAr man sat
near the prisoner when the verdict was
announced. He appeared cooler than
during the trial, resigned look cover
ing his face. Strange as it may seem il
was the verdict he expected and wanted,
freely saying so afterwards.
No exceptions were taken or reference
made to q new trial. None was de-
sired for justice had been done. The court
announced that the sentence would be
pronounced today at II 80 o'clock.
Upon the convening of court at IL 80
O'Clock the room was packed with an
expectant crowd, it having been erron-
eously reported that the defendant would
make statement. fany was intend
ed not only the defendants attorneys
but the court set down on such course,
Judge Burnett remarking to some one
that he would allow no side shows in his
court.
Judge Whitney made formal motion
to set aside the verdict, which was over
ruled. II is said no further effort will
fessed murderer.
The defendant was then requested TO
stand. His attorneys were asked ii there
wss any reason why the sentence OF the
court should not be pronounced.

"The sentence OF this court is that you
be taken to the county Jail of Linn coun-
ty and there be kept in close confne-
ment until such time as will be named
in the warrant delivered 10 the sheriff
when you shall be taken there from and
be hanged by the neck until dead, and
may God have mercy ON your soul"
During the pronouncing OF il the pris-
oner showed not the least emotion,
though the swollen condition OF his eyes
indicated that he had been having a
troublesome time in his cell.
The sheriff and deputies then took the
prisoner and placed him in his cell in
the county Jail, where he viii be kept
until the day set by the warrant, Friday,
January 81, 1895, when ne will be
hanged at such time as shall hereafter be
named. Under the statute the hanging
will be in the preseAce OF twelve resi-
dents OF the county.
II viii take place in the rear OF the
Jail inside of a high b5ard inclosu,e,
probably twelve feet high, and about the
same square, entirely away from the
public view.
1t is probable Montgomery will revise
his confession before hanging. He has
already told \ Brownsville man who
called on him that his father did not
slap him. II is doubtful If he even said
anything TO him At that time, though

it Is likely he did the deed deliberately

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1895-12-13

The widespread desire among women
to intelligently understand national
matters relating TO our government
will be met, for the first time in any
magazine, in series of explanatory
articles by ex-President Harrison.
General Harrison in the Ladies Home
Journal during 1896 will explain in a
very popular way what this government
means from its inner workings, the orr
gin and meaning of the constitution;
what the different legislative powers
mean; the power of the president, of
the house of representatives and SEN
ate; how congress legislates; what our
relations with foreign countries signify;
what the judiciary system really is,-in
short, will make it possible for woman
to have clear conception of the founda-
ton of our government, its laws and Off
GERS, and an intelligent idea of the lead
ing national questions in the broadcast
sense. Political opinions will not enter
into the series; the articles will be en-
tirely explanatory and written away
from partisan lines.

WHAr shall be done to replenish
the depleted gold reserve and avoid
the threatened new bond issue?
This is pressing question and one
that demands a speedy solution.
While congress is considering new
legislation for the purpose OF increas-
ing the revenue, and especially in
view of the fact that the president is
likely to veto any tariff measure
framed on protection lines, such as
republican house will be likely to of
fer, why not adopt the plan that has
been suggested of requiring part,
say one-half, of the revenue duties to
be paid in gold? 1t is very largely
to pay balances on imported goods
that gold is drawn from the treasury
and it would work no injustice to re-
quire importers, who as a class re-
ceive the benefit of the gold thus
withdrawn, to pay moiety or even
the whole of the duty in the cur
rency they exact from the American
people. Such law would afford
immediate relief and would, without
doubt, maintain the reserve at and
above the point of safety, and would
not wrong anybody. not even the i'm
porter.

Good Citizenship.

s'Men do not wish to be saved
from their vices, but from the effects
of their vices. Emerson.
Nowhere is the truth of the above
more clearly exempli6ed than in
governmental affairs. That there are
evils i'll Legislation, corruption in
high places, and dishonest men in
positions of honor and power, are sad
facts that are too well known to
every intelligent American citizen.
But it is useless to recognize the
truth of these facts and the dangers
following in their wake. 1t is not
enough to know the seat of the dis
ease and the nature of it, unless the
knowledge carries with it the nerve
and disposition to administer the
remedy or even to apply the knife, if
need be.
The growth of ''good citizenship"
agitation and education is a most
encouraging sign. Good government
clubs and and good citizenship soci-
cites are being formed in all popula-
ton centers, teaching the duties of
good citizens and revealing the value
TO the voter of the boon of the bal
lot. Christian young peoples soci-
cites have taken up the cry and are
doing their part towards rearing up
the good citizens of the future. The
NoRTHERNER is in thorough sympa-
thy with all the movements; they are
good as far as they 60, but they do
not 60 far enough or deep enough.
Mere lessons in patriotism are not in
themselves sufficient, as they will re-
ceive different interpretations from
different individuals, and will not
bring the good citizens, necessarily,
into active political action.
On the other hand, in the ordinary
course of events, it is not enough to
direct the force of good citizenship
against a specific evil, to organize
good citizens for the accomplishment
of single reform. The republic is
greater than any ''ism;" good gov
eminent is broader than any single
issue.
AS we have said, it is not sufficient
to point out governmental evils or to
demonstrate the truth and prescribe
the remedy. 1t is necessary as well
to indicate disposition to avoid the
error and to seek the truth; to aban-
don the evil and to put the right into
practice.
In every community, in every state,
in the whole of our nation, there is
doubtless enough of right sentiment,
enough of good citizens, to correct
every evil if the force of their ballots
could be properly directed. But good
citizens are inactive. They permit
the primaries and conventions of all
political parties to he dominated by
professional politicians and very bad
citizens indeed. Many of them stay
away from the polls and then, after
the ballots are counted, spend a vast
amount of time and energy in fruit
less "kicking" over the election re-
suits, which results were only made
possible by the neglect and inaction
of good citizens themselves. The
bad citizenship of good citizens is to
be blamed for most of our govern
mental abuses and for the presence
of incompetency and corruption in
high places. Put your finger on Off
cial dishonor and disgrace, and you
will find man who would have been
defeated, either in the convention or
at the polls, had good citizens duly
priced the privilege of performing
we'll their part in this government of
the people.
