that it will be decided to not include the re-
turns in the total.

CHANGES ANNOUNCED.
Appointments and Transfers in Local
Catholic Parishes.

Announcement has been made of several
appointments and changes among local Ro-
man Catholic clergymen, all of which will
take place at once. Rev. John j. Cooper
D D.. who was recently ordained a priest
at the Church of St. John Lateran, at
Rome, has been appointed an assistant rec
tor at st. Matthew'S Church. on Rhode Is
land avenue. This appointment has been
made in succession to the late Rev. Father
Sterling.
The appointment of Father Cooper to st.
Matthew's was anticipated in The Star.
His parents reside in this city, and 1t Is
therefore a certainty that the first mission
of the young priest will be especially agree
able to him. Rev. -CooperS father is an OFF,
cial of the Pennsylvania railroad and has
a large list of acquaintance In Washing
ton.
Father Cooper received his early eccles-
iastical training at ST. Charles College in
Baltimore, and his pre-eminence in studies
was such as TO warrant Cardinal Gibbons
in sending him to Rome in order that he
might profit by the advantages for study
to be found there.
regarded as of equal mental attainments
was Mr.. Eckenrode of Baltimore. and by
direction of the cardinal he accompanied
Father Cooper to the Eternal city. Both
Young men were students a the American
College there, and both made their ordina-
uon at the same time. Likewise both have
been assigned to Washington, for 1t is
nounced that Father Eckcnrode has been
made an assistant pastor a the Shrine of
the Sacred Heart, 14th and Whitney ave-
nue. northwest, succeeding Rev. James
Smyth, who goes to the rectory of St Pat
rickS Church. St PatrickS parish, located
in the downtown district, has come to be
enc of the most important of the Roman
Catholic churches, and it is thought that
the addition of third assistant to the staff
of Rev. DR.. ID. j. Stafford the rector who
Is now In Europe. has been done n tighten
the labors of the clergymen. which in tho
winter season are quite heavy.

RESCU|NG MONTANA FROM ROAD AGENTS

1t was a thrilling incident in the ca
reer of Colonel Wilbur F. Sanders of
Montana, whose death has Just been
announced, when he secured the con-
viction of the road agents who we're
the plague of the mining territory
which was then producing gold in
abundance
The story is admirably told by Col
onel A. K. Mcclure, of Pennsylvania,
the distinguished journalist and states
man, who was one of the first to de-
scribe graphically the Rocky mountain
country. In this city which is blended
so closely with the history of the far
west the episode will be read with in
terest. II is as follows:
When Sanders game to Montana.
Plummer was in the zenith of his
power and the whole energy of the law
was paralyzed by desperate and cor
! rupt officers charged with its execu-
tion. Crime was supreme and defiant.
Murders were committed in open day
without fear of retribution and rob-
berries were almost of hourly occur
renee
pail over the camps and settlements
of Montana and none dared to demand
the punishment of the criminals who
publicly gloried in their evil deeds.
I'm the fall of 1853 the forbearance
of the better class of citizens was ex-
hausted and the resistance of crime
took form in the organization of a Wig
lance committee. The desperadoes
were confederated by oaths and signs;
they knew their men and could COM
mand them at any point in the short
est possible period ready for action
But the very perils which beset the
effort to redeem Montana from the
throldom of crime made strong men
stronger: and with the highest resolve
to do and dare for the right.
George Ives, one of the desperate
leaders, was arrested and arraigned
before a court of the people. Several
thousand spectators were present. all
armed; but how many of them were
ready to obey the secret signal of
Plummer's band and murder the chief
actors, no one friendly to order could

"A young advocate, (Wilbur F.
Sanders,) tall and slender in stature.
but with intelligence and determina-
tion written in every feature of his
face, came forward and in the name
of the people charged that George Ives
was a murderer and unfit to live.
His bearing told more eloquently
than could language that either him
self or the criminal must die and his
clear voice rang out over the plain as
he pleaded the cause Of order with
fervor and ability that thrilled the au-
dience and paralyzed the majority who
had come determined to save their
companion by fresh murder II neces-

The Eugene Guard gives the follow
ing account of the arrival of tn,
Eureka cadet corps at that place. Tht
corps consists of 81 young men anC
boys of the Eureka (Cal) Congrega.
tional College, who are marching
from Eureka 70 the Lewis and Clarl
fair. The Guard says:
Shortly after 10 o'clock this morn.
ing (Saturday) the city was aroused
by the rat-ta-ta-tat of a drum and in
few minutes large crowd had gath
cred in the streets ready to welcome
with outstretched arms the 81 boys
who compose the Congregational Ca
det Corps from Eureka, Cal. Because
the command is under the Congrega-
tional name it does not necessarily
hold that they are all members OF
that denomination, for in their ranks
are Catholics, Presbyterians, Metho-
dists Baptists, etc.
Tired, dusty and clothes in bad
shape, these plucky young fellows
came marching up Willamette street
to their camping grounds across from
the Gross hotel, and many were the
signs of relief as the place was reach
ed. A large bundle OF mail was
awaiting the boys arrival and the faces
of the youngsters just shone as they
received fond messages from home.
From Eureka to Eugene Is SSS
miles and this ground has been gone
over in 2s days by these fellows who
are bound for Portland or bust
1t was really a treat to see so many
young Americans abstaining from
the use of tobacco and liquor and
using no profanity in their speech.
1t was really marvellous how each boy
had a kind word for everyone and
how each did the others bidding.
The command is in charge of Cap
tain Emory, U. S. A, while the first
lieutenant is Joe Moore, second lieu
tenant, Wallace Mulland, third lieu
tenant, Fred Brown. In the command
there is one lad of 10 years who has
marched all the way, while there are
several few years older, and all are
under IS except the officers.
Most OF the boys have never seen
a steam engine and more have never
been away from home until this novel
trip which was planned a year ago,
the funds being secured by perform
ances, etc. This plan is also being
carried out now and so far they have
succeeded in paying ali expenses and
providing for every comfort and lux
ury.
The cadets left Creswell this morn
ing at $3.50 after remaining over
night there and giving an excellent en-
tertainment. They remain with US
until Monday morning when the trip
to Portland will be resumed, which
place is to be reached by the 18th, on
Humboldt day at the fair.
