Population Decreasing.

Hood River, in Eastern Oregon, has in

| 0swego, \. Y. June 5.-~Driven almost
to the point of insanity by numerous let
ters threatening to kidnap or murder hi,
daughter, b, j, Tonkin, a wealthy and
prominent citizen. has announced the of.
fer of a reward of $4,000 for the dis,
covery of the person who has for tive
years been writing letters to him de.
manding a large sum of money or dire
results. The offer OF reward reveals a
story OF months OF haunting fear which
have made life unbearable for the mem,
bers of the family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tonkin had three daugh.
tiers. One, Virginia, died three years
ago. The shock affected the parents
greatly. 1t is said the body was EN-.
balmed and kept in the house for nearly
eight months when the authorities in.
terferred and it was buried. Soon aft.
er this came the first letter demanding
money or threatening harm to Rosamond.
Since then the missives have arrived at
frequent intervals. The child has been
so strictly guarded that she has grown
morse and sickly.
Mr.. Tonkin showed the letter to tha
Oswego police, but no clew to the writer
could be obtained. Private detectives
were employed with no better results.
With nerves shattered by the strain Mrs,
Tonkin took Rosamond to New York six
months ago where apartments were en-,
gagged, but the letters followed Mrs. Ton.

coachmen always accompany Rosamond

CHINOOK IS DRY.
All the Saloons are Now Closed on Sun.
Day to the Chinookites.

All the Saloons are Now Closed on Sun.
Day to the Chinookites.
There is weeping and wailing and
gnashing of teeth among the Chinook
ties on account of the authorities clos
ing all the saloons in that thriving burg
on Sunday. The Willipa Harbor Pilot
discussing the question, says:
Prosecuting Attorney Hewen return
ed Thursday from Chinook whittier he
went to prosecute the saloon keepers
of that place for violating the Sunday
closing law. He informs the Pilot that
complaints, sworn to by Rev. McWaterg
of Chinook, were filed with Justice J!
+. Dalton against Frank Gather, Jul
ius Jensen, Franz Jensen, and Agathon
Pearson. This action was a surprise to
the persons arrested and, as they wish
ed time to consult with their attor-
neys, they were given until June IA,
giving bonds in the meantime in the
sum Of 800 each. The cases will be
tried before Justice Dalton.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Hewen has init.
mated, in an interview which appears
in this issue, that his policy will be to
show no partiality in enforcing the law
the sentiment manifested at Chinook
will, in all probability, be manifested at
other points where the law is being vio-
lated. If Sunday closing is good thing
for Chinook, other communities will
reason that it is a good thing for them
and people generally want all the good
things that are coming to them. Much
depends, however, on the result of the
actions begun in Chinook 1t may be
that the saloon men there will decide to
quietly close their places of business in
future but, should they elect to fight
the law, the case will attract widespread
attention and the final result in the
courts can only be guessed In any
event it is worth while to know whether
or not the law is valid and can be en-
forced.

Prominent Minister breaches a
Sermon on Divorce Results.
DIVORCE LAWS ARE ABUSED
Neither the Law Nor the Church Make
Marriages and All the Law Can do is
to Make Clumsy Attempt to Protect
Women From Designing Men.

New York, June 5--ln sermon in the
Church Of the Messiah, Rev. Minot j
Savage has expressed belief that on a
whole large number OF divorces at thl
present time are altogether to be wei,
come.
"They are" he said, nearly always in
the interest of oppressed women, giving
them another opportunity for free,
sweet, wholesome life There eases where
the divorce laws are abused, but not
nearly 80 many as the ministers OF q
great many of our churches seem ts
imagine.
Law does not make marriages. The
church does not make marriages. Men
and women, if they are ever married,
marry themselves. All the law can do
is to make clumsy attempt to protect;
all the church can do is to recognize and
try to eonsecrate fact which already
exists. But if there is no marriage,
then it is descration to keep up the
sham"

Mrs. moore's AssaiIant Hanged.

Atlanta, December S.-Jim Walker,
alias Will Brice, the negro who COM
mitted an assault upon Mrs. George w.
Moore last month, was hanged in the
Fulton county Jail this incoming. Sheriff
Nelms pulled the trigger at lilo O'Clock,
and Walker died in II minutes. His
neck was not broken and death resulted
from strangnlation.
Both the husband and son of the
negro's victim were present and witnessed
the execution. The negro was attended
by number of colored ministers. He
made no statement from the gallows, but
earlier in the day declared he had made
his peace with God and was prepared for
death. He was perfectly cool when
carried to the gallows, and his last
goodbye" was spoken in clear, ring
ing voice, in which there was no indica-
tion of fear.
Sheriff Nelms made brief talk, in
which he told Walker that all members
of the negro race who laid their hands
upon white women should expect to
meet death on the gallows.
hanged was cut into bits and distributed
among those who witnessed the hanging.
Mrs. Moore's son secured the moose.
There was morbid crowd standing
outside the tower in drenching
rain, waiting to catch glimpse of the
negro's body. There was no excitement
and the execution was conducted with
out any extraordinary incident.

THE NEWS FROM SENECA.

Seneca. December 12-There will be
services as usual in the Presbyterian
church next Sabbath, and at the Episco-
pal church IN the evening. Bishop
Capers will he with his flock at the lat
ter, which fact will afford great pleasure
to his friends hero.
1t is said that Seneca is to have an
other hotel soon. We take it that this,
the hotel business, must be one of our
"get rich quick" schemes.
The approach Of the holidays and the
high price of cotton make happy com.
bination for the merchant and the
planter, and gives also healthy stir to
business quarters.
With the homecoming of the school
boys and girls and the prospect for the
usual holiday visitors, the social feature
for Chistmas season promises to be unu-
sually attractive. Wedding bells will
also ring.
The many friends of Rev. G. Wardlaw
will be glad to learn that he is improv-
ing. If the united prayers of n COM
muuity and a host of friends avail any
thing, his restoration to health and to
his post in the Masters vineyard will be
speedy and permanent. Mr.. Wardlaw is
sitting up to-day.

The dear, good pastor who last Sab
bath exhorted the Christian housewives
to initiate the Master more in the dis
charge of their domestic affairs, instead
of trailing at the cook" could not have

provocation is not abundant, but be-
cause the time is come when they're
afraid to!
Little Wade Hampton Lowery is suf-
fering from an abscess on his face this
week. We hope the little sufferer will
soon be comfortable.

Vicious Cows.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
They had been speaking of cows. I'VE
arc in the habit of speaking slightingly Of
the man who is afraid Of a cow" said one
member of the group, but 1t is a great big
mistake in my judgment. Put large vi
cious COW in the road. and you will not
find many men who will insist in nudging
up too close. The fact is, If the cow has
wild look, almost any man will be inclined
to allow her to hold the road. and will slip
around through the bushes in order to get
around on the other side without any un-
necessary trouble. Cows are sometimes vi
cious. and they are sometimes anxious for
a scrap. They will not hesitate to chase
you, and should they happen TO catch you
they will do a few picturesque stunts on
your PROSTATE form. l have known cows
to do considerable damage to individuals
who reasoned the false idea that the
COW is not only docile, hui totally lacking
in gameness. They are not only game. but
marvelously dextrous in the use of their
