"Under Sealed OrderS."

The stirring melo-drama, "Under
Saaled Orders" which will be pre-
sented at the Opera House, Thurs
day night, is a dramatization of
Rudyard Kipling's interesting novel
by that name. Like all Of his
stories, it abounds in stern incidents
and is more than ordinarily strong
in characters. Those who have
read any of Mr.. Kipling's works
will find a treat in store for them in
witnessing this powerful drama.
This play is full of instruction and
happiness. The company carries
its own special scenery and as much
care will be given the prodution
here as will be given it in Portland
next week. On Friday night the
same company will produce s'The
Girl From Chile" one of the most
successful cf farce comedies. Prices
25c, 35c and SOC. Seats now on
sale.

Killed a Cow.

Acting on instructions from,
the sheriff, Capt. G. A. Robin
son served q warrant on Chester
Rust, at his home a few miles
seatli Of Philomath, Saturday
afternoon. The warrant charged
said Rust with the Larceny OF a
cow" When the warrant was
served Rust made no objection
to accompanying Capt. Robin
son to Corvallis. They arrived
in town late in the evening and
Sheriff Burnett placed Rust in
jail to await his preliminary ex-
animation, which took place yes
terday afternoon before Justice
Helgate. The circumstances
and particulars as near as can be
ascertained are as follows:
A gentleman by the name of
E. Sharp, who lives not far from
Mr.. Rust, heard a couple Of
shots about a week ago, so he
claims, and later saw Rust come
down near his place and wash
his hands at a small stream.
Later in the day Mr.. Sharp saw
Rust drive by his place with a
buggy, going in the direction in
which the shots had been fired.
He thought It rather strange,
and the mex day having occasion
to go to Philomath, lie cut across
the hill and followed Rust's
buggy tracks, The buggy had
gone along an old road that was
ssldom used and led him to the
partial remains of a cow. Going
on to Philemath Sharp got into
conversation with some of his
neighbors, and learned from one
that Mrs. Rust had presented hisI
wife will, some beef. From |
another that there was a quarter
of beef hanging up near Rust's
house.
About this time it developed |
that neighbor out there by the
name of A. Bennett, was minus
a COW. A little later Mr.. Sharp
again went up to the place where
he had discovered that a COW had
been killed, and this time found
the head Of the animal. The
head had been thrown into a
pile of brush out Of sight.
In talking the matter over
with Mr.. Bennett, Mr.. Sharp
and the owner of th1 missing
cow came to the conclusion that
some of the meat and the hide
might have been broughtt to Cor
wallis. Pursuant of this idea Mr.
Sharp and Mr. Benefits SON CAME
to town Saturday morning, and
BY chance, the first place they
inquired was at the meat market
Of ]. c. Taylor. Mr.. Taylor
stated that he had purchased a
lide Of Mr.. Rust, and that the
kin was out at the slaughter
louse. A trip was made out /
here and when he saw the hide,
teung Mr.. Bennett declared it
IN exact fit for the cow his father
lad lost. A warrant was issued
Is above stated.

Logan is Free.

Judge Bellinger last week ren
dered an opinion id the case Q.
the United States vs.. Larkey L.
Logan, all Indian of the Siletz
Indian Reservation, indicted for
assault with intent to kill, upon
another Indian Oh the reserva-
tion, mention of which was
made in the GAZETTE at the
time. The defendants denurred
to the indictment on the grounds
that the facts alleged were not
sufficient to constitute a crime,
and that the court had no juris-
diction Of the the crime charged.
In closing his decision, Judge
Bellinger said: 81 am Of the
opinion that the allotment of
lands to the defendant does not
take the case out of the jurisdic-
ton Of this court. The Indians
effected by these allotlnents are
still dependents communities.
The lands alleted to them con
tiuue to be held by the United
States, in trust for their benefit
The allottees are still subject to
the regulations provided for the
government of Indian reserva-
tioas. notwithstanding the
mandate Of the act of congress
declaring them citizens, they
are still minors in the eye of the
law, incapable of disposing of
The lands held by them, Or even
of leasing them without the con-
sent Of the reservation agent,
and their dependence is still 50
conaplete that it is crime to
sell or give them whisky Or 9th
er intoxieants."
The complaint failed to set
forth the,fa that Logan is an
Indian, and for this reason Judge
Bellinger quashed the indict-
nent. Attorney B. F. Jones, of
Toledo, and Judge M. L. Pipes,
of Portland, appeared for the
defense.

is seeking safe investment. The

TEMPERANCE THOUGHTS.
Does Prohibition Prohibit2 If
Not, WhyNOt2

The usual argument against pro.
hibition is that "some men will
have liquor, and if they can't get
it one way the will another"
Let US question further. Who
are these men and why must they
have it2 Perhaps we may arrive
at tsome conclusion.
First, there are the medical men
and druggists who are obliged to
keep liquor for medical purposes,
(snake bites, sun strokes, sorrows,
etc.
Then there are The confirmed
drunkards who have an uncontrol.
able craving for liquor-those
whose will and judgment have
been overcome, and to whom the
sight of the illegal package is
dearer than anything else.
Then there are men who have
no intense craving for liquor, but
who through an inborn outlawry
send for it just to show their de-
fance of law, just to assert their
independence, just to make illegal
money.
These are the few instances
where prohibition does not pro-
hibit. Sometimes the blame may
rightfully be laid on inefficient
officers, who fail TO enforce the
prohibitory law. An officer is
subject to many temptations. The
"spoils Of office" might be correct
ly read "spoiled in Office" but
even though be may have been
elected by the law breakers them
selves be is in honor bound to en-
force the law.
The noble manhood of even a
United States president might be
endangered by too long q term.
Sometimes prohibition does not
prohibit when the men OF our land
take il upon themselves to hold an
election or a political meeting,
perhaps to make the argument
good that politics is too corrupt q
field for women to enter, thay lay
in a supply Of liquor. These law
breaking, law-makIng men then
proceed to elect law.enforciDg
ofiicers--such is the consistency OF
some men.
Thus we see that In certain in
stances prohibition does not pro-
hibit, and for the sake Of doctors.

tion from a trying temptation,
which fact should be remembered
when the advocates Of the saloon
are making pleas for the men who
"must have liquor"
Prohibition means money to the
merchant instead Of the saloon, IT
it means health instead of disease.
Because of prohibition there are
many sober and industrious men
who have built aud improved
homes, and which the saloon could
now destroy If it should come.
Numberless happy little homes
stand as a testimonial for prohibi-
tion. Farmers wives will testify
that prohibition prohibits, for do
not the farmers come TO town, get
their lists of dry goods and grocer
les, pay their bills and return
home sober? They have neither
time nor inclination to hunt up
back stairways to obtain an unsat-
flying drink.
A saloon might be an irresIst-
able tembtation TO a great many
young men who have too much
self respect and honor to drink in a
low dive or even some back office.
To prohibition they owe their fu-
ture success in business and soci-
ETY.. We cannot put too high an
estimate upon the advantages Of
raising our boys and girls in a
country where intOxicants are pro-
hibiited. A very young child can
understand that what the laws OF
the land prohibit must be wrong.
An anti saloon sentiment is uncon-
sciOusly developed, and thus we
see that prohibition not only pro-
hibits now but insures prohibition
for the future.
All honor to the men who franz
ed our good prohibiiory laws, all
honor to the officers who enforce
it, and all honor to the men who
abide by IL.
