SALVATION ARMY PREPARING
A FEAST.
Preparations Being Made by This Or
ganizatiOn to Feed the Worthy
Poor on Christmas Day.

Pursuant to their custom the Sal
walton Army, that great body Of zeal
Gus workers who are devoting their
lives to the amelioration of the suf-
fering, feeding the hungry and
clothing the naked, will on Christ
mas day serve Christmas dinners
to the worthy poor OF the city. They
will depart from the usual method of
serving great family dinner in the
hall, and will make up baskets of
good things and send them to the
homes Of those who are in need.
Speaking of the matter to Morn
ing Herald reporter. Ensign Dowell,
who is now in charge of the work in
this city. said: 1--WE expect to have
use for large quantities of edibles, as
we have in our work among the peo-
pie of the city learned of a number
Of families where square meal
would not come amiss. We are now
receiving the names Of the people Of
the city who wish to contribute edi-
bles to the Army for this coming din
ner. Anyone wishing to contribute
will please leave their names at the
barracks, 1913 North First street,
and we will call for such as they may
wish to give. There's another thing
/ might mention, and that is the
need of cast-off clothing. We have
knowledge of many families where
garments of this character would be
most welcome, and we believe, If
the attention of the good people Of
this city were called to this fact,
there would be liberal donation. I
have in mind a family Of seven, in
which the father and daughter are
i'll with fever, and really suffering
for the necessities of life. 1t hardly
seems possible that this can be true
in a land of plenty like this, but you
know some families are the victims
Of misfortune, and it is our duty to
relieve such. am sure that we will
have generous response this Christ
mas season."

DIR. M'LEOD NOT GUILTY.


BOSTON. Dec. 1.-The jury hear
ing the evidence in the trial of DR..
Percy Mcleod, the Back Bay physi-
clan, charged with being an access
DRY in the performance of an illegal
operation upon Susanna A. Geary,
the dress suit case victim, retired to
consider the testimony at 4:45 this
afternoon. Judge Stevens, before
whom the case was tried, instructed
the jury to seal the verdict, If one
be reached tonight, and present it
in the morning.
Mcleod, in his own defense, testi-
fed that he did not dismember the
body of the chorus girl He denied
that he had ever had any connection
with Mrs. ID. Bishop" and swore
that he had never been inside the
Winthrop street house, where the
girl died until summoned to perform
a second operation to save her life.
According to McLeod's testimony,
he was called by DR.. Jonn f. Pettee,
who few days ago testified that he
was summoned by Mcleod. He tes-
titled that his only connection with
the case was the performing Of
the operation known as laparotomy,
the only hope, he claimed, of saving
the woman's life.

THE OREGON LAND STEALS.

SALEM, Or, Dec. Far more
serious than any previous develop
ment in the many sided land frauds
which have been perpetrated in this
state, are charges made in a letter
to Governor Chamberlain today from
State Land Agent Oswald West, who
in effect asserts that by means Of
forged certificates of sale of school
lands, eastern bankers have been
swindled out Of large sums of money.
Not content with this, the land agent
asserts, that after having defrauded
the state out Of approximately $780,
600 acres of school lands, practical
1y all it possessed, by means of dunn
my entrymen, but when money could
no longer be made in that manner,
the land operators prepared printed
certificates of sale and assignments,
and inserted in them descriptions of
school land on which certificates had
previously been issued, together with
the number Of the entry, and then
forged the signature of the clerk of
the state land board and notaries
public, and attached forged notary
seals and of the seal of the state of
Oregon, and then proceeded to re-
sell the lands time and again to
innocent persons in the east.
Mr.. West states that the forgeries
were discovered by him while en-
gagged in separating the bona fide en-
tries from the dummies. The land
operators secured lists of all school
lands upon which all but the last
or demand" payment had been
made, and, filling these into their
prepared certificates, invited the pur-
