THINKS IT'S A PANTHER

Peter Siefert, who resides about 5
miles southwest of Perryville, called
in to see US last Saturday and told us
that he saw some kind of varmint
last Thursday, May 25th, which he
thinks is a panther. Mr.. Seifert says
that he has seen a great many red
foxes and killed a great number Of
them, and says it was not red fox
at all. The wild animal was as big
as a big-sized dog and has long
bushy tail. Mr. Seifert was on his
way to his ncighbor, Marcellus Jan
min, when he saw the wild animal at
distance of 90 steps in an open field
in the day time. He thinks chat the
panther came up from the south dur
inc the high water last winter. There
are wolves up in that part Of The
country, but this animal has differ

BLEsr BE THE TIE THAT BINDS

And when the vote had been taken
and announced, Bishop Cranston of
the Methodist Church, North, and
Bishop Hendrix Of the Methodist
Church, South, clasped ands, and the
representatives of seven million Meth
odists in the north sang "Praise God
from Whom All Blessings Flow" and
"Blest Be the Tie that Binds"
And all Christian people will echo
these choruses in their hearts.
The vote was on the report of a
committee of the quadremial confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church recommending union with the
Methodist Church, South, and. the
Methodist Protestant Church ON gen.
eral basis described, the details to be
worked out in joint negotiations. The
conditions of union in their particu-
lars, as determined by the conference
es between these two great branches
Of Methodism, must be approved by
the Southern church and finally en-
dorsed by the next general confer
ence of the Northern church, so that
the union cannot be consummated be-
fore 1920, but the authorities of both
branches consider that the union, ear
nestly discussed for many years, is
now definitely and certainly forecast
ed.
As the cause of the division eighty
years ago was the slavery question,
it is not strange that the lack of una
nimity in the Saratoga conference, in
adopting the report of the committee,
should have been on account of the
provision made for the negro in the
amalgamated denomination. The col
ored people are to be accorded sub
ordinate conferences Of their own, un-
der the supervision of the general au-
thority.
While this movement is of great
significance religiously and must be
powerful as a precedent in discus
sions of the union of closely allied de-
nominations and of INSTRUMENTATION
al union, it has a civil aspect crafty
ing to all patriots, for it means that
in another great interest affecting
large and influential elements of the
population there shall henceforth be
no distinction between north and
south-St. Joseph Observer.

LITTLE GIRL KILLED BY TRAIN

A little 1O-year old girl was killed
by passenger train No. 4 at Siliac
last Saturday evening. From what
information that could be secured
here, it would seem that the child,
with her mother and other members
Of the family were trying to cross the
track in front of the train. The en-
pireer saw them and whistled, but the
train was going about 40 miles an
hour and he was unable to stop. One
of the party got safely across the
track, but the mother did not even
reach the crossing. The little girl
was struck squarely and thrown 40
or so feet. 1t is said that every bone
in her body was broken. The inquest
was held Sunday. AS far as could
be learned here, the girls name was
Wilmer and lived at Cadet. The FAM
lily was visiting at Silica.-DeSoto

Dear Aunt Cora" Is
Salem Businessman

There may be nothing new under
the sun, but a prominent business man
of Salem says he has something new
sprung on him about every so often
and the latest was n letter he received
in the mail this morning, addressed in
a school girls dainty hand. OF course
he lost no time in opening the letter.
IL was written from Pendleton under
date of October l6 and addressed to
''Dear Aunt Cora Did the business
man read itl He did, and it was as
follows:
"Please vote yes for the Eastern
Oregon Normal school because Pendle-
ton is well located. 1t has many pas
senger trains, schools, over 1000 pupils,
large stores, beautiful new library
and many things to pass the time and
several churches There are nice places
to eat and board. Pendleton is n beau
tiful city. Your niece, Lucille Sailing.
Now the business man is just pond
ering over that letter and wondering
whether Lucille is trying to put one
over him, as pinned nicely to the letter
was pamphlet on why Oregon needs
another normal school. And he is also
wondering whether those Pendleton
fellows are not pretty smooth advertis'
ers and whether the 1000 pupils in the
schools are writing their aunt Coras
and uncle Johns and saying nice things
about Pendleton, and all written in
that childish handwriting.
