MONEY THAT STATES
NEVER RETURNED
Congressman Digs Up Old
History.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 27.-
(SpeciaD THE curiosity of Represen-
tative Victor Murdoch has served to
recall long forgotten incident in
the financial history of the United
States, which bears an interesting re-
lation to the events which have just
been occurring.
When the enthusiastic eX-baseball
writer from Kansas stumbled across
the entry of $2S,000000 as ''unavail-
able funds in one of the BLACK
books" of the Treasury Department
the other day, his ever bubbling cur
iosity was so Initiated that he be-
gan at once the preparation of res
olution of inquiry, 1t was to cause
the Secretary of the Treasury tC
report to the House all about the orig
inal distribution of that sum to the
several States, and why it had never
been restored to the Treasury. Il
such report is ever made 1t viii
show peculiar state of facts.
The Treasury was cursed with c
surplus in the second Administration
of Andrew Jackson, and they didnt
know what to do with surplus il
those days half as well as they dc
now.
Several bills were introduced at the
opening of the Congressional session
of 1856 providing for the distribu
ton of all the surplus except 50,
100000 among the different States
Wings and Democrats were both fol
it and one was passed.
The cash balance being then OF
deposit in the regular Government de
positories just as it now it, it be-
came necessary to withdraw it.
Three Installments Paid
The first call was made and met
and in January, 1887, he paid the first
installment to the State repositories
in specie. The second installment was
also paid in specie, in April, although
the commercial crisis had begun IL
March. Banks began to suspend IN
May. The third installment was paid
but in notes, not in specie.
BY August the Treasury, which was
trying to give away $35,000,000, was
in dire distress. Martin Van Buren,
the new President summoned Con
SfeSS III extra Session 70 ulluO lls
work All that Congress did was
to forbid the Secretary of the Treas
ury to negotiate any of the State
certificates of deposit, or to call on
any Of the States for the money that
had been deposited The payment OF
the fourth installment was postpon-
ed until Jan. /, 1889. but when the
day came the Treasury was in debt
instead of having a surplus, and the
installment was never paid Which
is why the unavailable funds are
only $28,O00000 today, instead OF
$35, 100000

Oregon fruit this year commanded
the highest prices In any market. The
report Of President Wilbur X. Newell

more fruit was marketed in this state
than in any previous year. The
board was satisfied with the spraying
accomplished last year and will be
satisfied IL as much good is done
this winter as last.
at will mean considerable" said
II. NJ. Williams, secretary of the
state board Of horticulture. "if we
can thoroughly cleanse the state. 1t
can be done by persistent spraying
and loyal effort on the part of grow
ers, and the return to each individ-
ual will be much greater than from
any other proportionate expenditure.
Enthusiasm once awakened will
carry the work during most of the
months. Voluntary spraying on the
part of many will save the board the
expense of sending its inspectors to
do the spraying or cutting down trees
at the expense of the state"

The death OF Rev. l. d. Driver at
Tangent, Linn county, Ore. yester-
day. marks the passing OF the pioneer
Methodist minister I'm the state OF
Oregon and Of the most marked fig
ure In the affairs OF the Methodist
church in oregon for the last five
decades, says the Portland Telegram.
AS preacher, orator and debator DIR.
Driver has at times been a figure of
national prominence, and at the time
OF his death he was among the best
known and most learned students Of
the Bible in the country.
Dr. Driver died of Bright's disease,
superinduced by n severe cold con-
tracted in July. He had been con-
fined to his room since August 10. He
realized the nearness of death and
continued his talks on religion until
paralysis shut off his power of speech
about so hours before his death. He
still retained. his consciousness, how
ever. His death was a peaceful one
with his immediate family around
him.
The funeral is to take place at Sa-
lem from the First Methodist church
al o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and
az DR.. Drivers own request the fu-
neral sermon is to be delivered by
TT. T. B. Food of the Sunnyside
Methodist church, who has been as
s'ciated with him as a friend for the
last 20 years. The burial will take
place in the old Lee Mission ceme-
toy. the last resting place of many
f1nOus Oregon Methodist ministers.
Was n Pioneer.
DR.. Driver was born az Fort De-
fiance, Ind, August II, 1924, and
spent his 5oyhood on a farm near
Fort Wayne. In 1S49 he Joined the
great rush to California, crossing the
plains in an emigrant train. Three
years later he came northward and
began farming in the Umpqua val
ley. His business venture was sue
cessful.
At that time he had but a COM

tention Of joining the church. but as
the result of a great sorrow that
came into his life he was converted
10 and joined the Methodist church at
Jacksonville. He determined to be-
come a minister and with the aid of
a preacher at Jacksonville he set
about to study. He devoted himself
to Hebrew and Greek with the pur-
pose by this means TO go deeper into
the study of the Bible. and at the
end ow several years effort he was
ordained and preached his first SER
mon at Jacksonville in 1857, just so
years ago.
Later he was transferred to the
Methodist church, in Salem, and also
filled a pulpit at The Dalles, and was
for some years pastor of the Centen-
airy Methodist church of Portland.

l. D. DRIVER, PIONEER METHODIST
MINISTER OF OREGON

During all Of the early years OF his
ministerial life he continued his deep
devotion To the study of the Bible and
came to be national authority, not
only i'm the Methodist church, but in
other churches.
In the early 9Os he was called 10
deliver lectures TO the Dwight L.
Moody Institute at Northfield, Mass,
and while the most eminent Metho-
dist ministers from the United States,
England and Canada were also lee
turing during the course, DR.. Drivers
efforts were rewarded by having four
OF his great lectures published in the
Book OF Lectures" while but one of
the most prominent Of the other
speakers had but one of their lectures
published in permanent form. This
Book of Lectures is now part OF
every well-eQuipped theological IL
brary.
At a result Of his success at North
field, when Mr.. Moody was casting
around for a man to represent the
Christian religion in the great debate
with representative of the Infidel
club of Chicago, he sent to George
II. Williams, a local attorney, a re-
quest that DR.. Driver be asked to ac-
.cept the task.
DR.. Driver accepted and met on the
Chicago platform, Watts, the cele-
brated English infidel, who had been
brought from London to represent the
Infidel club. In spite of the fact that
Watts had met the great theological
lights of England, DR.. Drivers repu-
tation was greatly enhanced by the
encounter, while it is claimed that
Watts returned to his home practi-
cally defeated. DR.. Driver was Of
fered several pulpits in the east, a
number Of churches in New York be-
ing desirous of obtaining his SER
vices. Declining all offers, he re-
turned to oregon and became presid-
ing elder OF the western district. This
position he held for a number of
years, leaving to become agent of the
American Bible society in Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana. He
later lectured at the Lincoln, Neb.,
National Chautauqua.

ruE VALUE OF CHARCOAL

Costs Nothing to Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize its value when taxi
en- into the human system for the
same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is remedy that the
more you take of 1t the better; II Is
not drug at all. but simply ab-
serbs the gases and impurities always
present In the stomach and intcstines
and carries .hem ouf of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears ana inn

teeth ard further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels:
1t disinfects the mouth and throat
from the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In
one form or another. but probably
the best charcoal and the most for
the money is In Suart's Charcoal
Lozenges they are composed OF the
finest powdered Willow charcoal. and
other harmless antiseptics in tablet

The daily use of these lozenges

no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but on the con-
