Horse Thief Arrested.
Sheriff Miltonberger is in receipt of
a letter from tho ahoriff at Stiglcr,
Old., stating that he has in his custody
a man who gives his name as Robert
Thompson and his former retiUcnco as
Maxwell, Neb., and tho description of
tho man tallies with tho Robert Thomp
son who n few weeks ago stole a horse
from a Maxwell man. It is probable
that Deputy Sheriff Lowell will go to
Oklahoma and bring Thompson back.
Mail Burns.
A baggage car on tho Union Pacific
lino was destroyed by fire at Hanna on
Saturday last, about midnight, and a
great many ChristmaB presents burned.
The car was a baggage car and was
filled partly with baggage and partly
mail. Tho car waB tho third from tho
engine, forming part of east bound
train No. 10. When tho fire was dis
covered tho trainmen and a number of
passengers tried to do all that could be
dono to save tho contents of the car,
but as a stiff gale was blowing at tho
time very little could bo dono and tho
car had to bo hurriedly detached from
tho train in order to avoid disaster.
There were about two hundred Backs
of mall in this car, of which practically
nothing has been saved, tho entire car
having been destroyed. A good portion
of the baggage was saved, however.
The baggage master on thia train
was badly burned. Choyenno Tribune.

Dan Shannon.
Great'intercst attaches to tho coming
of Dan'Shannon, whoso picturo nppears
herewith. His work at Corning, where
ho is now, proves successful ns at other
places. Tho work" was very difficult at
first, but up to a week ago 120 persons
were reported as taking a stand in tho
new life. Tho evangelist was at Ore
gon City boforo going to Corning as
has already been mentioned in this pa
per. A wonderful mooting with 400
conversions resulted. A leading relig
ious paper of tho Pacific coast has this
to soy concerning tho Oregon City
work: Great crowds were turned aw,ay
and could not get in. At many of the
services were found people who came
to hear the evangelist from great dis
tances in Clackamas County. Tho Cour
ier says Shannon is tho simplest
and Dlainest gospel preacher that over
.came to Oregon City. "Truth is truth
to him and tho Bible is God's inspired
book and he preaches hell with a venT
geanco. Men tromblo under his pow
erful appeals for a clean life and it is a
common sight to seo men, strong men,
weep like babicB as tho conviction of
sin comes upon them and tho Evangel
ist holds them over tho pit of hell.
Whenever men's meetings are an
nounced tho house is always crowded
and it is a noticeable fact that men go
to hear him who have not darkened a
church door for years. Tho news has
gone abroad that there have been Bpec
ial meetings at which was discussed
what to do with Shannon, but tho con
clusion was reached that Shannon wus
telling tho truth. Oregon City today
is alive with revival interest. In every
saloon, grocery Btore, shop, oflico and
on every street corner, in every homo
tho revival is tho main topic for discus
sion. Some curso Shannon and others
praiso him. Many in Oregon City do
not wish to hear him because of tho
terrible truths ho drives homo which
hit the nail on the head. He says there
are men in Oregon City who have hell
ish, damnable sin in th"ir lives, who
have sold out to the devil and pawned
their ticket nnd aro afraid to hear tho
truth about their lives and for that
reason they do not come."

Editok Tkiiiunr The condition of
Dewey street is very unsatisfactory
and is liablo to cause trouble most any
time. There has been n grent change
in the last few years in store fronts.
Formerly a long plate glass running
from tho sidewalk to the ceiling was all
tho fash'on, but tho modern, which is
far handsomer, is to build a show win
dow about two feet beyond tho main
building, and in order to build tho show
windows to buildings already erected
it is necessary to build out two feet on
tho sidewalk. There aro scverul who
have done so which has added greatly
to tho appearance of tho street but
they havo taken considerable risk for
onjinanco beginning on pngn 79, Sec. 12
reads: "It shall bo unlawful for any
person to display wares or mcrchnndiao
in front of or beside his business placo
and outsidojho lot line of such business
place." Tho penalty for violution may
be $100 fine or three months in jail. If
n person were thrown against ono of
the windows and waa seriously cue and
injured by tho broken glass, tho owner
of the window would be responsible for
full damages, and the merchant who
displays goods in ono of tho show win
dows is liable to go to jail for three
months. Permission of tho mayor and
council to break an ordinance will be no
defense, for if they can grant you tho
privilcgo to build out two feet they can
grant you the priviledgo of building out
tup feet, which would cause dreadful
looking Btreots. Tho streots aro for
tho public and no power but tho public
can change them. See tho statutes ch.
M, Art.4; Sec. 56: "Cities of tho sec
ond class and villages shall bo bodies
corporate and politic nnd may suo and
be sued, contract or be contracted with,
ncquire, hold and convoy property, real
or personal; provided that real proper
ty shall only bo convoyed by tho proper
authorities of such city or village when
so authorized by a vote of the electors
thereof." There arc a largo number
of property holdern on Dowoy street
who would like to build show windows
this spring if they could legnlly do it,
but they will not otherwise, and no
doubt but in less-than in two years all
tho stores on Dewey street would have
new show windows which would make
a beautiful street especially after night
when lighted. The problem might bo
solved by a voto of tho electors at next
April election to quit claim two feet
wide and no more ill front of all tho
storos, consideration Jfivo or moro dol
lars for every twenty-two feet, for tho
purposo of show windows.

Christmas tomorrow! Wo can scarce
ly realize that another season is hero
timo has passed so wwiftly. Another
week and 1908 will havo passed into tho
great past. Tho Christmas Bcason
should revivo tho spirit of joy nnd glad
ness because of what tho great featival
represents "Peace on earth and good
will to men" should bo our purpose.
We should not only endeavor to he hap
py ourselves, but should try to make
others happy. In tho gifts wo bestow
there should be a reflex benefit, an in
making others happy we should find
true happiness ourselves. In tho re
maining uays oi the year, winch aro
busy ones for most of us, let ub bo joy
ful, peuceful and generous. Through
thoBO attributes human hearts may
catch an echo of tho song tho angola

Beet Shipments from Hershcy.
Our correspondent nE Herahey writes:
Ilershoy shipped out 175 cars of BUgnr
beets this season. This docs not in
clude about' tho anmo number of cars
from O'Fnllons and seventy-fiver cars
from Nichols.
W. T. Miller raised fifteen acres of
beets which averaged Bovcntecn tons

nvcrago of aeventy-fivo dollars per

An interesting phaso of the turiff
question has been developed by tho
congressional hearing at Washington.
For instance, Carnegie declares that
thoBtcel industry does not need a protec
tive duty any longer. Somo of tho smal
ler steel makers suy that it doeB, i. e.,
that tho small fellows need it in order
to hold their own against tho trust, all
of which is a new argument in favor of
tariff duties and and not ono contem
plated in tho original scheme of protec
tectlon. If it is to bo a survival of tho
fittest, or tho biggest, tho Bteel trust
can no doubt tako care of itself; but
after it has by sheer bigness nnd
strength cleaned up the field of all com
petitors, what may tho public expect
from tho stool trust? It is not difficult
to imagine. Kearney Hub.
