to explode. 1 knew that 1t was
time for me to hush and I hushed,
went on my way home and left them
to discuss me as some old crank that
did not like to see country people do
we'll"
Two years rassed away and one
hot June day I saw ragged old
man and careworn woman stop at
my gate. 1t was the same old man
and woman that I have been telling
about.
"Come in, come in" said I, when 1
saw them hesitate at the gate. "Come
ia and make yourself at home
My old woman got them chairs as
they walked into the poarch, and at
ter they were seated and had a cool
d ink of water, I turned and asked:
'sWhere are you traveling?"
"Going back" said the man and
his wife pulled her bonnet down over
face and dropped her eyes to the
floor.
"Where is your wagons" I asked.
"Sold it," said the man.
Where is your steers''
"Sold them;
"Where is your cows?'
''Sold them"
where is the money!"
Spent"
So much as to my part to help
along the good work of the New
York officials. I would like to do
great deal in this cause. There will
be great difference Of opinion as to
the cause of people moving to town
in such great numbers.
Some will say that all the legisla-
tion for thirty years has been against
the farming interest. Some will say
one thing and some another, but all
of US can say that there has been
something wrong and that it must
change.
Brown says that the fashions-the
extravagant customs is the matter.
I don't know if it is love for dress,
for display and style, that has much
to do with our present conditions,
but if it is I can tell the young ger
GRAFTON that girl can be just as
sweet in a homespun dress as in silk
There were never sweeter girls than
the Georgia girls of war times, and
there will never be.
II envy not the Northern gil.
II robes OF beauty fair;
Bat give to me the Eomespan dress
That Southern women wear"
It was patriotic in those days to
admire the plain dress-it was all
sentimental at last, or fashion," as
Brown says, and this may help to
clew, for the solving of a great ques-
ton.
I am obliged to agree with Brown,
that fashion has much to do with
shaping all our desires. A young
couple will marry in these days, and
there is fool sort of notions that
a great lot of money must be spent;
they must do thus or so to be in the
fashion, and they will do it lit bursts
the boiler.
Why can't a young couple, just
starting out in life, 80 to church in
good jeans for the man and calico for
the woman? Folks will think thus
and so is the answer, and the young
people will either not so to church,
or else they strain themselves to meet
the requirements of fashion to such
an extent, that all their lives they
live in strain.
These strains are mighty bad.
When sickness, or ':out of work. tr
some thing almost surely comes TO
e;ery family, lights upon one of these
strained households, there is trouble,
trouble, trouble.

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE.
Cleveland Said to Be Logical Demo
cratic Candidate.

New York, April THE World
will print a double-headed editorial
tomorrow, in which it will ask
whether the logic of the political
situation that has led the Repub-
lican masses to support Mckinley
will not compel the nomination of
Cleveland by the Democrats. The
| paper says "The World does not
assert that this is so. 1t raises the
the question. 1t invites public dis
cussion of it.
$50 far as the world is concerned
in this matter, it is entirely impair
tial, judicial and impersonal. 1t
has not special partiality to Mr..
Cleveland personally, as he will
probably admit. 1t has nothing to
take back. But the question is not
of the past. 1t is a question of the
future.
Upon the issues of the present
and future, not the past, the World
is just as free and sincere in sug,
gesting that Mr.. Cleveland seems
to be the only logical candidate, as
it has been fearless and faithful in
admonition and criticism whenever
it has believed him to be wrong.
1T is idle and might prove very
unwise to ignore the fact that
there is a deep-seated and widely
prevalent prejudice among our
people against any third term for
any President. But it is still
question whether any unfounded
fear and prejudice can weigh at
least against the force of events
and the logic of circumstances"

MISSING FROM PORTL AND
Insurance Agent Patterson's De-
parture Mourned by His
Victims.
A Written Declaration That He Would
End His Life Is Not Given
Credence.

PORTLAND, Or. May 22.-J. D. Patter-
son, agent of the Mutual Reserve Life Fund
Association for this territory, has disap-
peared, leaving a letter addressed to a
local undertaken under date of May 20,
stating that he intended to commit suicide
and that his first attempt had failed.
1t is not believed that Patterson has
committed suicide. He is believed to have
disappeared for reasons best known to
himself. He was the organizer, manager
and collector of an employees benefit asso-
citation in this city. He collected large
sum in dues from members. The associa-
ton is not incorporated, and the benefit
fund, which was believed to have been
deposited in the Merchants National
ers to the scheme have apparently been
feeced. 1t Is not known how much Pat
terson collected.
The supposed suicide came to Portland
about year ago. He formerly lived at
Davenport, Iowa, and Ogden, Utah.
Some time ago the Chief of Police of Day.
export sent letter to local officials asking
about Patterson and stating that he had
abandoned his family there and they were
unprovided for. Patterson is man of
pleasing appearance and manner, glib of
speech and protesting profound religio
inclinations. An extract from his letter
reads:
al have Just awoke from long sleep. 1
took two grains of morphine last night,
hoping to pass away. l have failed in
this, as in everything else l have under
taken. Oh, merciful God of Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob and Jesus of Nazareth, for
give this deed l shall take two more
grains, then go to the river. II any one
cares enough about me, they may find my
body in the river. do not do this from
choice, but am forced to it. My dear wife
and little ones are suffering, and through
my fault. God help me! 1 have no
money. I have not had anything to eat
for two days. l have given up all hope,
and it is fit that 1 should die. This is
enough now. Oh, how my head hurts me-
l can't write any more. Farewell"

Groceries and Liquors Ia a General
Store Destroyed.
SANTA CIR w, May 23.-Fire broke out
tonight in the general store of A. Burn
helm & Co., causing the destruction Of a
stock of liquors and groceries.
a. theater party returning home shortly
after midnight saw smoke pouring from
the rear windows. When the Fire De-
partment arrived the iron shutters over
the windows opening from the rear of the
store were red-hot. The flames were con-
fined to the back rooms, containing the
liquor and grocery departments, and the
basement, stored with wines.
The building is partitioned by fre-proof
walls, which enabled the firemen to pre-
vent a spread of the confagation. The
clothing and dry-goods departments were,
however, considerably damaged by smoke
and water.
1t is not known how the blaze origi-
mated, but it is presumed that gas Jet,
left burning in the basement, commune
Gated flames to a wooden pillar. The
damage is estimated at from $4,000 to S10,-
600, a survey of the basement being i'm
possible before morning.

SAN JOAQUIN WATER RATES.
Farmers Protest Against EnorbttGnt
Cost of Irrigation.

Cost of Irrigation.
STOCKTON, CAL, May 22.-The cham
beers of the San Joaquin County Board OF
Supervisors were crowded to-day with
farmers from the vicinity of Woodbridge
and their attorneys and the representa-
tives of the Woodbridge Canal and Irriga-
ton Company.
The farmers some time ago petitioned
the Supervisors to fix the rates on water
for irrigation purposes, and to-day their
side of the story was heard.
Civil engineers were present and testi-
fed to the amount of work done by the
projectors of the system. and later by the
receiver. With these figures it was esti-
mated that the cost was not anything like
what was claimed by the irrigation COM
pany.
The cost was shown to be not over $751;
600. At this valuation the board, under
the law, could not fix the rate at less than
u cents year per acre, nor more than 80
cents, without the consent OF the farmers,
as they could not give the company more
than Is nor less than per cent on Its in
vestment.
The farmers are willing to pay as high
as IS cents per acre, but not any such rates
as are being asked by the irrigation COM
pany.
The matter went over until the next
meeting.

NEW SECT At SPOKANE.
Rev. David McInturff Pounds
the Peoples United
Church.
Deposed by the Cleveland Conference,
He Launches a Doctrine of
His Own.

SPOKANE, WASH, May 22.-David n.
McInturff, just relieved of his position as
pastor of the First Methodist Church by
the Cleveland conference, announces to
the public to-day that he has founded a
new church that vii! take the name of the
Peoples United" and whose work will
at once extend to all parts of the earth
until he, its founder, shall, like Alexander,
weep because there are no more worlds to
conquer. The doctrine of the new church
is combination of Methodism, Congrega-
tionalism, Communism, Mormonism and
a half dozen other isms.
DR., McInturff has been with the Meth
odist church for twenty years, having at
one time been missionary to Japan. He
came here two years ago, and by his won
derful aggressiveness at once built a new
church costing $4,000, although half the
people whom he induced to contribute did
not have enough to eat. He soon caused a
split in the church, fully $50 leaving and
forming the Second Methodist Church.
Trouble after trouble followed, until at
last he was peremptorily removed by the
Cleveland conference.
Fifty or more persons called at Rev. Mr..
McInturff' s home late last night, and
when they left the Peoples United Church
had come into existence.
