the opinion that curtailmeDt Is the best
remedy for'present ills and are very hope
ful of beneficial results.
such of the mills as are not well
stocked with cotton may be forced TO
this action. The mills which Will be
stopped next week represent about one
third OF the total number OF spindles of

the situation,a much larger proportion of
the total will have been shut down for
one or more weeks

JUDGE DURFEE'S OPINION.
The ev,denee I'm the case at bar shows
that some years before the transaction
here In controversy the defendant Ehad
made foar loans on mortgages 10 the COM
plainant, TO wit two in 1871, one ol Wblcn
was for $4,000 anu the other Tor slZOO ana
two in 1873. one of which was Tor slOOO
and the other Tor $40 OOO.
The complainant had then just como OF
age. He was reckless and inproyident
with slender capacity for business. Ihe
defendant in the course OF these dealings
acquired knowledge of his character
and apparently prohteu by his knowledge;
Tor whereas In the first two loans he ac.
commodated the complainant at the rate
of seven or seven and half por cent
on the last two he exacted twelve per cent
and heaNy bonus besides.
Tho com mpiainant testlfies that when ne
applied for the loan in 1879 no had recent
ly lost his mother and was suffering from
mental anxiety on account of u controversy
over hersswill which untitled him for busi-
ness
We do not see that we can let this state
of mind influence our decision for IL does
not appear that the defendant knew OF IL.
The defendant probably supposed him 10
lie equal TO what he was in 1871 and 1873
and dealt with him on that footing. The
complainant was distressed for money,
being exceedingly anxious TO pay debt
of $500 20 friend, and doubtless mani
tested his anxiety to tho defendant.
The security which he offered was a
mortgage on an undivided nth OF certain
lands. which had been the dover estate OF
his mother, his interest In them being
worth at least from $40, 900 TO sl2, 0OO
lhe defendant encouraged the lapplica-
ton but said be should have TO charge
lawyers rate of interest because the estate
was undivided, and the security therefore
bad He did not say what interest he
should charge. The complainant testified
that he asked originally for not over $1,000
but the defendant wanted him Co take
$1,000 saying that he could the more easily
dispose Of "a mortago for that amount.
The defendant denies this but we are In
clned to believe the complainant

LAWYERS OPINIONS.

There are numerous other cases. similar
To Mrs. Muleedy's, ii they could only bo
brought 10 light, but tho people who have
been paying the high rate of interest
would rather suffer in silence, than have
the public know of their circumstances.
A lawyer in Pawtucket was consulted
regarding the case of Mrs. Muleedy. for
the purpose OF learning IL tho company
could collect all the money the Fidelity
Guarantee Loan Company claims Is due.
The lawyer said IN his opinion the full
amount could not be collected II the case
were brought before the court in equity.
Such cases had been acted on before I'm
favor of tho people who bad been bled by
money sharks such a case would come
ander the head of uncoDscionable interest,"
and would be therefore illegal
AnotherPawtucke lawyer however, gave
different view OF the case, ana said that
all the money could DO collected or the
mortgage could be foreclosed He was,
however, i'm favor of the passage OF an act
restricting the rate OF interest
In each instance the lawyers expressed
n wish TO have their names withheld from
publication, as they are professionally
connected with men who lend money at
the usurious rate. but who do not appear
on the public records as money lenders.

Few people know that all plants eoA-
tain digestive principles. They cannot
absorb their food until it is digested any
more than animals can. The Mount
Lebanon Shakers have learned the art OF
extracting and Htilizing these digestive
principles, and it is for this reason that
their Shaker digestive cordial is meeting
with such phenominal success in the
treatment of dyspepsia. The Shaker dl'
eestive cordial not only contains feod
already digested, hut it also contains dl'
gestive principles which aid the diges
ton of other foods that may be eaten
with it. A single 10 cent sample bottle
will be sufficient to demonstrate its value
and we suggest that every suffering dys
psptic makea trial of it. Any druggis
can supply it.
Laxol is the best medicine for children
Doctors recommend it in place OF casto

Last Sunday i'll this city, a handsc
new building was dedicated TO the wor-
ship of God. 1t stands a monument to
religious enthusiasm, church loyalty and
business energy on the part Of those hav-
ing the enterprise i'll charge, and those
assisting i'll carrying it out 1t was
erected by the members of the Methodist
Episcopal church of Corvallis The
building cost about $4,000, and the ground
OH which it stands cost nearly $1,000
more. The building is graceful and Of
namental in appearance, and as to- both
exterior and interior, furnishes hand
some home for the Methodist congrega-
ton.
The first Methodist organization Of this
city was effected in the fall of 3IS4S- One
of the missionaries, probably Roberts,
Organized a class at that time at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John Stewart

among whom were Mr.. and Mrs. Johla

and Mrs. Asa Spears, Mr.. and Mrs. Ha-
man Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Starr. Mr..
and Mrs. Biathar Newton and two young
nIen, Morris and Isaac Newton. The
class, with VIM. Dixon as leader, conr
tinued to meet at the home of Mr. aud
Mrs. Stewart until 1850, when Log
house was built near by for school pnr-
poses, and it was occupied by the Methe-
dist congregation as place of worship
for period of five years.
In 1855 the old church on the corner
of Second and VanRuren streets was
built. The lumber for this building wal
donated by Hamilton Campbell, Oren
Kline and John Stewart. The labor was
performed principally by John Stewart
William Dixon, Silas Stout, Perry Earle
Vim. Carter, Wesley Graves and William
Holder, and this old building dedicated
to the worship of God AZ years ago, still
stands memorial to the energy, self de
nial and public spirit Of the grand OH
pioneers who built it.
The idea of building the new ehurcl
that was dedicated Sunday was probabl
first suggested by Rev. H. Qberg- A
the first quarterly conference after hi
appointment to this field, he brought til
matter up, and committee was appoint
ed to investigate the possibility of eree
ing a new building. The committee wa
appointed and few weeks later met
the parsonage for consultation. To te'
their own interest the committeeme
canvassed themselves and raised $50
