The Latest in Hold-Ups.

When the state house gang down at
Jefferson decided to hold-up the foreign
insurance companies doing busInss in
our state, everybody not only seemed
surprised. but wondered what next
would follow. In this hold-up sI3,OOO
was secured, which was almost neces-
sity brought about by the depicted con-
diton OF the states exchequer. Now comes
another novelty IN the line OF hold ups.
This time it is "holding up" a steam
boat.
While the ferry steamer, j. W. Spen-
Ger, was at her dock near Wathens on
Sunday night the box in the pilot house
in which the receipts OF the days runs
are kept, was broken open, and the
owner is now looking for the self
pointed custodians Of about sl6O, to
which he believes himself TO have the
best legal right.
The robbery took place while the
boat WAS being loaded for the last trip,
on which it was scheduled to leave the

o'clock. Most Of the passengers were
on board, and Captain Stewart was al
most ready for the last trip, when two
men were seen to leave the boat hur-
riedly, holding their pockets as II they
we're afraid that the contents would
Jingle. They disappeared into the
woods, and. it is said, drove of toward
the railroad in buggy which was wait
ing at point close TO, though hidden
from the landing.
When Captain Stewart went to the
wheel he found the pieces OF the box
scattered over the pilot house, and did
not find the receipts for the day. A
batchet which was found on the floor
Of the pilot house was identified as the
property of man who runs a refresh.
ment stand near the landing. He said
that it had been loaned that aferternoou
to two men whom he did not know.
A few gold pieces were in the box, and
there was about $40 in paper money,
but most OF it was In silver. Captain
Stewart thinks he would be able to
identify the men whom he saw leaving
the boat.

OUR COUNTRY.
Sermon by Rev. Henry A. SawYers,
D. D, in his Pulpit Oregon,
Mo Sabbath July 2nd
1899.

Mark, 81. They came over unto the
other side of the sea-
1t would be wrong to use this or any
other passage of scripture independent
of its true meaning in its connection
without mentioning the fact. 1t is this
perverted, disconnected Use of scripture
on the part of willfuI and designing per
sons that SO often bewilders honest but
dependent minds and brings them into
a state of doubt The minds or hearts
of ALL since the original transgressiop, be
ing desperately wicked, makes it so much
the easier for the willy TO impose such
deception upon unsuspecting aud con
tiding ones, who in their make up
havea a tendency in the direction of doubt.
Why they willingly and willfully impose
deception and pervertion upon others
can not well be accounted for unless it
be that misery seeks company.
In the common every day affairs of
life we often notice, if 1T ali observing,
that persons who have been deceived or
bit,as it is more often called, are willing,
lit may be too strong to say misreprcsenN
but To exercise mental reservation and
in way really commend till others are
deceived or bite and are bitten. After
that they can not envy each other. They
are alike. They are upon common ground
and neither may enjoy at all the condi
tion brought upon him by the deception
and all the comfort either get out of il is
that the other was as foolish as he else
he would not have allowed himself TO be
80 deceived. They may imagine there
is a little relief in suffering together.
This same reason for deception may
possibly in part account for its being
carried into the realm of the souls opera
tions and interests: persons practicing
the deception desiring company both
here and hereafter But lest we digress
too far from the point of departure we
will leave this matter as here presented
and return to the text a second time.
They came over unto the other side of
the sea.
If we will consider our nation, its foun-
ders, our fathers, and the place from
whence they came, we can not but see a
beautiful appropriateness in the appiica-
tion Of this passage of scripture to them
even though it be taken out of its real
connection. They came unto the other
side of the sea-
In its connection it is the Savior or
God with the disciples passing from the
one side to the other of the sea of Tiberi-
as and the translation of the original
wording of the fact is. They came TO
the other side of the sea" So did our
fathers resolve To leave the side of the
sea upon which they were and come TO
the other side and God was as really in
terested in their resolve and with them
in their passing from the one side to the
other of the Atlantic as he was with the
other disciples in passing from the one
side to the other of Tiberias. From the
day Columbus discovered this land to
the present day, they have been COM

The BIgeloW Road.

The county court, accompanied by C.
G. Lsndon, county surveyor, we're in
our city last Monday looking over the
Rigelow road. Surveyor Landon will
survey the road, set the grade stakes
and the ditch machine will go to work
in few days fixing the road from the
point where our citizens commenced to
come this way, and carry it on to Bige-
low Through the untlring efforts OF j..
II. Punshos, who circulated the SUBJ
scription papers, some $500 has been
raised in this city and the bottom coun-
try toward repairing one-haif OF the
road, and the county court will take up
the balance Of the work, put W FOOT
bridge over the ditch and run the road
into Bigelow. Thisroad when completed
will bring thousands Of dollars to our
ci,y every month. This trade now goes
to Craig and Forest City because OF the
utter impossibility to get to this city
about one hall Of the time. The grade
will average about 5 feet above the old
road, thus insuring q good, dry road the
year round.--Jeffersonian.

Thlrty-Five Years Ago.

Sunday, July %, % years ago, 'Dolph
Ware, of Oregon, Mo-, was an exceed
ingly busy man. He had more bust
ness on hand than a cranberry merchant,
and was perfectly willing to sell out at u
small price and retire. At that time he
was wearing the uniform of an Ohio vol
unteer, and was assisting "Old Tecump"
Sherman in the somewhat famous march
to the sea. A few individuals, whose en-
ergy was out of all proportion to their
numbers, were making it difficult for
'Dolph to lead "Old Tecump" along the
road, and every once in while 'Dolph
had to clear small patch Of ground
with his old Springfield musket.
a big Irishman was Dolph's left-hand
man in one of these little skirmishes, and
while they were loading and blazing away
at the enemy in great shape 'Dolph sud
denly felt his left hand struck. He i'm
agined that his comrade had uninten-
tionally struck his hand with ramrod,
and it made him mad. So he hauled off
and poked his comrade in the ribs with
the butt of his musket and yelled:
Look out, there, you dashed blanked
son of blankety blank"
''Gwan wild yer yelled the Irishman,
fondling his ribs. "Oi never teched We.
Look at yer hand, ye spalpeen."
'Dolph looked at his hand and saw
blood running from his fingers. A mimic
ball sent over from the enemy had struck
'Dolph in the wrist, almost severing the
thumb and tearing hole in the palm
Of his hand. AS 'Dolph Strengthened up
and looked ruefully at his bloody hand
he suddenly felt horrible pain in his
stomach He was doubled up like a jack
knife and he yelled bloody murder" in
three different languages - English,
soldier and mad.
Another mimic ball had smote him on
the big brass ~. S." plate on his belt,
doubling the plate together as we'll as
doubling him together. The ball was
held between the turned up edges Of the
plate, and the impact Of the ball had
raised huge blood blister on 'Dolph's
bread basket.
'Dolph still has the old belt plate and
his aged mother in Ohio has the battered
bullet. The big Irishman got his billet
in that same skirmish. A mimic ball
had struck him in the forehead mo-
ment after 'Dolph was knocked down by
the ball which struck his belt plate, and
the brave fellow dropped without a
quiver. Despite his wounded hand
'Dolph helped to bury his comrade that

When we consider who the majority OF
those were who first came across the sea
and the meaning to be attached to the
, act OF the discoverer, that man of God
kneeling as soon as he had reached the
solid earth and upon it with outstretch-
ed hands and prayerful heart dedicating
it to God, the Maker, we can, at the
very least. partly see the why of its
greatness and wonderful prosperity?
This nation was born of the will OF
God, in his own time, and in answer to
/ the prayer of Christian Puritans and dis
! coverers. 1t may be those who first
crossed the Ocean, to seek here an asy-
| lum, had not in their minds. the outlines
| OF a great nation but God had: for if he
had not had there would have sprung
| into existence no such nation as this.
But these persons had in their minds
the outlines of principles which they be-
! lieved and hoped and prayed for place,
| where they would be free to put these
principles into practice, they were here
given that they sought and these princi-
Piles in practice with Gods approval
grew into a nation.
This Sabbath coming as it does so
nearly on the one hundred and twenty
third anniversary of this nation, which
is our inheritance, it is but right that
we, rcligiously notice the fact and be
reverently thankful to God, for giving
us such an inheritance, and for his good
ness that has been measured out to it in
all its affairs and to ask him in mercy to
continue his favor upon it.
All nations are the creations of God,
| who holds in his hands, their destinies.
He who builds worlds builds nations as
well and he who wipes out worlds wipes
out nations also. "Can | not do with
you as the potter" saith the Lord.
Behold AS is the clay in the potter's
hands so are We in mine hand, o house

cerning a nation, and concerning King

and to destroy it,
For thus saith the Lord that created
the heavens; God himself that formed
the earth and made it: he hath estab-
lished it, not in vain has he created it,
he formed it to he inhabited. Behold
the nations are as drop in bucket
and are counted as the small dust of the
balance; behold he taketh up the isles
as a very little thing"
To whom then will We liken Gods 1t is

Patriotic Thoughts by Eva Malsbury

We are free! We are free.
Our priced liberty
Is heritage better than gain.
Let the whispering trees
Tell the news to the breeze,
Let the breeze bear it on to the main.
In our banner so fair
We love every star
That shines in its heaven of blue.
The red, blue and white
Are emblems of might,
or peace, and of purity, too.
Should treason assail,
Our hearts will ne'er quail;
Meath its cluster of stars we will fight
Nor ever desist
Till the foe We resist:
We will conquer or die for the right.
Kind Father above,
In thine infinite love,
Guard this home of the brave and the free
Well grow strong and more strong
As the years roll along,
If led and supported by thee.

answer the questions correctly put to
him next June by the census enumera

should be correctly made instead OF be

in the past. Every person is interested
in having reliable statistics made, and
each sould do his part cheerfully in order
that it may be made so.
