OSCAR CHAMBERLAIN, FoRMER r
DRUGGIST, SUICIDES.
Asks Attendants to Leave Sick Room
That He Might Sleep, and His
Sleep ls q Long one-Rela.
tives in Missouri.

Special Phone to the Ardmoreite.
Sulphur, |. r., Oct. 19.-Oscar Cham
berlain, aged 45, committed suicide
at his home here last night at l1.l5
O'Clock. Chamberlain has been i'll for
the past two weeks but had been in
bed only the past three or four days.
He appeared to be rational and last
night when he asked his family and
physician to leave the room so he
could sleep, they had no suspicious
that he intended to take his life.
Hardly had they gotten out OF the
room, when the report of a gun was
heard They rushed into the room
and found him already dead. With a
revolver he had shot himself through
the head, the ball entering the right
temple and coming out just behind
the left ear, the skull being crushed.
Chamberlain came here about one
year ago and engaged in the drug
business, which he afterwards sold.
Since then he has done nothing. He
has a brother in Sedalia, Mo, a BROTH
er-in-aw in Edmond, Okla, and a son
at Anadarko. The body was embalm-
ed last night and will be shipped to
Edmond for burial.

Mrs. A. c. Zehnor of aDllas, who has
begun a series of revival meetings in
the city, preached at the court house
last night. The large hall was crowd
ed with people eager to listen to the
woman preacher. The seating capaci.
~ was inadequate and the commits
sioner's court room was robbed Of its
chairs and benches, still the crowds
could not be accommodated. Many
OF the churches OF the city suspended
services and the ministers and their
congregations were present. The
choir was a splendid one and the old
court house, used only to hearing the
voice of the barrister. was transform
ed for the time into a real church
and choir of fifty voices occupied
the jury box, the witness stand gave
way to the organ, and at the judges
desk sat Mrs Zehler, a woman lee
turer and preacher of national repu.
tation. Preceding the sermon Miss
Roberta Niblack favored the hearers
with solo.
Mrs. Zehners subject was taken
from the Sth chapter of Romans.
Perfect Love" was the theme and
throughout the discourse the most per
feet attention was given her Preiu-
dice against the woman preacher

estncss and strength brings every lis
tener into close sympathy with her.
At times there was scarcely a dry eye
i'm the vast assemblage and when the
opportunity was given, quite q number
offered themselves as subjects for
| special prayers The meeting will
continue the entire week and much
good will be the result.

Reminders Of Flood.

Since the disastrous Willow creek
food laid ruin and death in it's path at
Heppner, many thing have occurred
which recall the calamity. A recent in
cident is the action of the board OF edu-
cation in releasing. two of the teaching
staff Of the public schools which opened
Monday. This had to be done on ac-
count Of the large number Of children
drowned.
Probably one story of the flood which
has never been given to the public has
just been told by one of the survivors.
Several days after the food, he says, he
was walking along the bank OF the creek
when he observed one of the public
school books lying on the bank. He
stopped over TO see what it was and the
heading OF the article at which the book
was opened read, "The Story Of the
Tempest"

WOULD BE
EXPENSIVE
An Extra Session Would
Cost $4,000.

Pendleton, Sept. 20. .--"An extra ses-
sion of the Legislature would cost the
state of Oregon $4,000" says Senator
g. j. Smith. ''But il this tax law is
invalid the calling Of the extra session
will be inevitable as the state must have
the money. With the heavy appiopria-
tions made by the last legislature, year
without any taxes would practically
bankrupt the treasury, and Oregon now
prides herself on being out Of debt"
DR.. Smiths opinion in regard to the
tax law was that it would be taken be-
fore the supreme court on test case
, before the call for the extra session was
issued. His private opinion is tina the
supreme court would give the law most
liberal construction and, if pos sible,
hold that it was valid, thereby SAVING a
great expense to the state. A herring
before the supreme court could be had
at almost any time in Salem, and de-
decision handed down without delay.
II the attorney general decides that
there is an oversight in the law as spread
upon the records, then the test case will
in all probability be started and rushed
through to the supreme court.
To provide for the contingency which
is now confronting the state through
this error the extra session OF the legis-
lature would have to be called for the
latter part Of October at the latest, as
any laws which it might pass would be
subject to the 80 days provided TO- the
referendum. II the taxes are to be eel
lected and an assessment made in 81
cordanee with the intention of the new
law for the year 1908, the extra session
must pass the act 80 days before Feb
ruary, 1904.
