PAY OF CLERGY SMALL,
Bishop Says Episcopalians Decline in
Old Age.

The average pay of the clergymen
of the Protestant Episcopal church in
the United States is $1,000 a year,
according to Bishop Lawrence of Mas
sachusetts, who has announced the re-
suit of a census of salaries paid min
listers of his denomination in this
country.
"There are 1920 clergymen actively
devoting their lives to the service of
the Episcopal church-sometimes call
ed the richest church in America," !"
said Bishop Lawrence. "Yet 2522 of
our clergy, more than one-half, are
paid less than $500 a year; 727 re-
ceive less than $1,000, and only 118
earn $500 or more. Even this is not
all cash, but includes the value of a
house, when supplied.
"The highest average salary is
earned at AZ years of age. There is
a distinct falling off in the salaries
earned by the older men, especially
those over 60. Many old men perform
ing hard jobs are making 5000 and
800 a year. The church, therefore,
today has, in fact, if not in name, a
system of virtual retirement at the
expense of the old men,

JURORS FAIL TO AGREE
SMITHS LIKELY TO BE ARRAIGN-
ED SECOND TIME.


In spite of the fact that two mem
bers of poker party testified that
they played cards for money in the
basement of Smith Brothers pool
hall at Independence on the evening
on which Sheriff Orr and his deputies
raided the place last fall, the jury
which heard the case remained out
all Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning, and was dismissed for its
failure to agree on a verdict. When
Judge Belt dismissed the jury its
members stood six to six for convic'
ton, after having spent more than
twelve hours in the jury room. Cliff
and Frank Smith were indicted by
the January grand jury for operating
gambling games to be carried on in
their Independence pool hall. Sheriff
Orr and deputies raided the place
during the hop season last fall, and
at that time confiscated chips and
cards that were found in an out-of-
the-way basement room, where two
private detectives testified they had
been gambling just before the raid
was made. 1t is alleged that the
Smiths were forewarned and had
broken up the card game only few
moments before the sheriff's party
arrived.
Cliff, Frank and Oliver Smith testi-
fed for the defense, the former say
ing that he knew nothing of card
game in the basement room on the
evening of the raid. Oliver Smith
came into court after his brothers had
testified in their own behalf and stat
ed that he had taken part in card
game in the basement room, but that
it was Of purely social nature. The
state attempted to show that there
would be no game carried on in such
a place with purely social intent when
there were available card tables in
the pool room upstairs. And by the
introduction of the testimony of two
men, who said they took part in
game for money, the state hoped to
establish its evidence beyond ques-
ton. The jury did not consider as
weighty the testimony Of the private
detectives, or stool pigeons, and were
divided throughout the night on the
many ballots that were cast. AT nine
o clock Wednesday morning, with the
vote standing six to six, the case was
continued until the next term of
court. As to whether the Smiths will
be prosecuted then remains for the
district attorney to decide, but it is

High Price For Hops Refused.

Hops look good just now to more
than one local grower. and among the
several is 7. C. Brown. who thought
about a month ago that he would be
glad to sell when the price reached
twelve cents a pound. But this week
MIR. Brown received and entertained
an offer of twelve and one-half cents
for his crop. After the ceremony of
entertainment the outlook in the hop
market was so bright that Mr.. Brown
refused the offer and has again turn
ed the key in the warehouse door to
await a further raise in the market
price.

CONVICT INvADES POLK
GEORGE CLARK SUSPECTED OF
BEING IN THIS COUNTY.
Reward Is offered for Capture of
Criminal Who Escaped From PEN
itentiary By Saving Bars.

That George Clark, the convict who
made such spectacular escape from
the state penitentiary several days
ago, has been near Dallas and in 9th
er parts of Polk county is the firm
conviction of more than one person.
Isaak Dyck of Polk Station entertain
ed stranger late last week and is
sure that his guest was none other
than the escaped convict. The man
appeared at the Dyck home about two
'clock in the afternoon and request
ed food A meal was set out for
him and he made himself perfectly
at home until about four O'Clock. He
proceeded to make himself scarce in
that vicinity and has not been seen
there since. In the Smithfield dis
trict several people saw stranger
who could not be accounted for and
they are of the belief that it was
George Clark.
Clark escaped by patiently saving
through the bars Of his cell window
and letting himself down to the roof
of adjoining building by the use OF
a blanket from his bunk. He chose
midnight as the hour to make his es-
cape, just when the guards were
changing shifts and there was no one
to detect his flight. In the peniten-
tiary he was known as a dangerous
and desperate criminal, although the
offense which landed him behind the
bars was burglary, committed in Lane
county. Clark is still at large and
none of the many searehers who have
been securing the country for his
track has had sight of him. The usu-
al reward of $50 is offered for Clark s
capture, and Governor Withycombe
will ask the next legislature for an
Of 5000 as an addition
al reward to anyone who secures the

keepsakes, but the goldsmith being
unable to perform the work at that
time the owner replaced them in his
purse and retraced his steps home
ward. Without further examination
of the pieces he placed the purse con-
tanning them in bureau drawer, but
when he went for the coin the first
of the week they had disappeared.
Whether Mr.. Dashiell lost the gold
pieces while enroute home, or whether
thieves entered the house and carried
off the gift pieces he is at loss TO
know. The coins were wrapped in II
paper before being placed in the
purse.

Dispute Over Sale
Of Moving Picture Show

An answer was filed this morning in
the case of 7. G. Bligh VS.. A. E. Laflar
George B. Guthrie, H. B, Fogarty and
j. w. Maloney. The answer alleges that
the plaintiff represented the earnings
of the theatre at Albany which he sold
to the defendants to be 5000 a month /;
that he did not give them access to the
books, and that they had no means of
ascertaining the truth or falsity of
plaintiff s representations beyond his
word. 1t is affirmed that plaintiff IS
representations were entirely false, so
far as the business done by the theatre
are concerned, and for this reason the
defendants have refused to pay him any
portion of the $500 balance claimed
to be due on the contract. 1t is further
alleged that the plaintiff owned only a
portion of the property covered by the
contract, and that the defendants have
surrendered to Conrad Meyer, of AL.
bany, who owns the property in which
the theatre is located, all their interest
in payment for rentals. The defendants
demand that the plaintiff take nothing
by this action and pray that they be
given Judgment against him for $4,000,
this being the amount paid out by them
during their possession of the property.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachina Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored
TO its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts. thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
