HIS SPEECH SETTLED IT
He Didn't Want no Shandyleer for the
Church, and Explained Why.

The congregation was debating
the question of whether or not to
purchase chandelier for the new
church. Some argued in favor of
it, and some opposed. Reasons,
pro and con were advanced on both
sides.
Throughout the discussion, one
old brother sat silent, apparently
biding his time. By and by,
he arose and cleared his throat.
His solemn air indicated that he
believed he had something import
ant to inpart. Brethren" he
said, "You are a-ta1king here
about buyin' this here shandyleer.
1t would cost whole lot of money,
and after ye bought it, what would
ye do with it? Who have ye got,
who have ye got, 1 say, that could
play on it? Ez fer me, don't want
no chand1yeer unless we got a
sister among us ez kin play the
thing to a standsti1l. Pm fur pro-
gress, fust, last and all the time,
but l don't want no instruments
a standin' around idle"
The point settled the question
and the purchase of the four lamp
chandelier was indefinitely post
poned. The incident is an actual
occurrence, with the scene less than
a dozen leagues from Corvallis. 1t
sounds like it might have occurred
in Lane. .. ~

NOW IN ASHES
The Old Pryor Scott Dwelling House
Burned Last Saturday.

y
Burned Last Saturday.
The Pryor Scott residence, oc-
cupied by James Gray and family,
and owned by James Hayes was
burned to the ground last Satur-
day morning. The fire was dis
covered just as the family was
sitting down to breakfast. The
origin was in the upper story and
the flames had such headway that
only kitchen furniture and a
few articles from the lower floor
were saved. The house and con-
tents were valued at $4,000 or
more. The Grays now occupy the
Clyde Hayes house, which is on
80 acre tract that formerly was a
part of the Horning donation
claim.
The building was insured for
$1,000 in the Home, of which Nor
gan & Eg1in are local agents.
Though the fire occurred on Sat-
urday. check for $1,000, the full
amount of the policy, was placed
in the hands of Mr. Hayes Monday.
The burned building was built
by John Huffman for the late Pryor
Scott in 1873, Its original cost
was about SI7oo.

TO BOYS AND GIRLS HOME
Family of Five Children Sent There
Taken Away by Sheriff
Yesterday.

At the westside station yester-
day afternoon, a family of five
children bade goodbye to their
mother, and left on the train to
enter the Boys and Girls Home at
Portland. The children were in
charge of Sheriff Burnett, and they
were sent to he'Port1and Home by
order of the probate judge of Ben
ton county. The mother is Mrs
Sarah E Keyes, and the children
are, Corde1ia, aged IS; Robert, IA;
Sarah, II; Ruth, 9. and Henrietta,
seven. Of the latter, Cordelia, the
eldest daughter. bitterly opposed
the plan of going away, but the
others expressed their willingness
to be taken.
The mother, at first, fought the
plan. The children, were to have
been taken away Monday, but she
appeared in court and asked for a
continuance of the case so that she
might bring witnesses to prove that
she ought to be allowed to retain
the little ones, and the case was
continued until 10 o'clock yester-
day morning for full presentation
of her side of the matter. At the ap,
pointed hour, however, Mrs Keyes
appeared herself, but was without
witnesses. She talked for while
in opposition, but finally expressed
herself content to have the chill
dren go.
The little ones are gentle and in
nocent in appearance and apparent
1y as bright as the average children
In the sheriff Office, while wait
ing Monday, the decision of the
court, they chatted among them
selves, and seemed happy family.
They answered questions modestly,
bur gracefully, and made friends
with all who paid attention tothem
Though perhaps without concep-
ton of what the change meant,
they all, save the eldest sister, ex-
pressed entire willingness to go to
the new home in Portlend. Mon
day afternoon and evening and up
to train time yesterday, they were
kept at the home of Sheriff Burnett.
In them. there is apparently all
that is needed, with good care and
kindly treatment in the future, to
make useful men and women.
The sending of the children to the
Portland Home was the subject of
inquiry in the probate court Mon
day. The petition set forth that
the mother was not fitted to take
care of the children, and asked
that they be sent to the Boys and
Girls Home. 1t was signed by
Henry Dunn. Testimony was
heard on the petition, and the wit
.nesses were, Henry Dunn, A J Will
1iams Of Phi1omath, guardian of the
children, and John Broom6eld,
brother of their mother. Mrs Keyes
also appeared in her own behalf,
and testified in opposition to the
petition. The examination was
conducted by Deputy District At
torney Bryson. The testimony of
the first three witnesses was of such
character as to induce the court to
order the children sent away.
The little ones will be kept at
the Portland home until desirable
homes can be found for them in
respectable families. After de-
livery to such families, the society
keeps a constant surveillance over
them, and if the treatment and
education received is not all that it
should be, the children are taken
back to the Home and given to
other families where better treat
ment is assured. Of the wisdom of
the move, described above, there is

lDAH0'S POLITICIANS.

Chief Clerk Gregory Jones Of the U.

at the Kenyon. In speaking Of the
Perrault matter. Mr.. Jones said that
the decapitated surveyor general had
kept his Office and accounts In perfect
shape, and was good official In every
way. But he had been, as the express
sion Is, feeding at the public crib for
hye years and his brother Republicans
thought II was about time FOR him 10
give someone else a show: ans then.
Mr.. Peuault took TO writing letters.
and when politician does this sort of
thing, he sometimes over-expresses his
feelings and then there is danger Of a
reaction setting In which is not always
as politically healthy as 1t might be. Mr.
Jones said the letting down and OUT
OF the United States marshal was a
genuine surprise party. but then tho
new marshal, Mr.. Rounds. IS a capa-
BILE man. The recent unsettling and
readtustment OF things within federal
circles are part aud parcel Of the FIGHT
against ex-senator Shoup. and II the
signs OF the times are really any gauge
OF the direction 81 the political wind. Il
Is evident that the once powerful ex-
senator has lost his grin.
