The lungs were se- verely congested and other conditions pointed to death at the hands cf the strangler. Cole was brought to Salinas at 4 o’clock this morning and lodged in the County Jail. The Coroner’s inquest will be held to-morrow. MOURNING IN SAN JOSE. Sudden Death of Mrs. Susan Rucker, One of the Santa Clora Valley's Fioneer Women.

EUGENE, Og., May 13.—Lane County occupies the venter of Western Oregon, having a frontage on the Pacific Ocean of twenty-five mi.es and extending eastwara 150 miles to the summit of the Cascade Monntains, with an average width of for- ty-five miles. It has' a population of about 18,000, or less than three persons to the square mile. One of the chief features of any and all countries is climate. It is this that makes the difference between the desert and the garden. Lane County has s climate that is as near perfection as can be found any- where. The greatest complaint against the couutry lying to the north of usis “too much rain,” and a strong objection to that lying to the south is “too much drouth,”” but Lane County, Or., lying be- tween these two exiremes, enjoys the ben- efits of a happy medium, having just enough ot both sunshine aud rain to in- sure good crops and good health. No irri- pation is needed for any crop. Temper- ature ranges within moderate bounas, giving no sudden changes. Summer nights are invariably cool enough to re- quire one or more blankets for comfort. Lowest tewperature ever recorded at Eu- gene, 4 degrees below zero; highest tem- perature, 98 degrees. The average rainfall is about thirty-six nches. The county has 162 school districts in University, and therefore the educational center of the State. Eugene is pre-emi- { nently a home city, havinz a population of 4500, It is locat’d on the main_line of the Soushern Pecific 1ailway leading from Portland, Or., to San Francisco, Cal., and thus with poth railroad and river steam- ers has excellent transportation fa- cilities. lncluding Immediate suburbs it bhas the following factories in active operation: Two sawmills, two gristmills, furniture factory, sash and door factory, soap factory, tool-handle fac- tory, shotgun factory, joundry and ma- chine-shop, tannery and steam lanndry. It has three banks, good stores, Western Union and Postal telegraph connection and long-distance telephone connection with all the leading cities of the North- west. Also has good electric light and water systems and streetcars, sewe: creamery, three weekly and one daily newspapers, nine churches, two fine, graded schools and all the leading beney- olent societies of the age. in addition to the above enterprises already in success- ful operation Eugene bas excellent faci ties for large manufacturing in certain lines. It has available water power, de- valoped and undevelopel, tothe extent of 15,000 horsepower. z The finest blankets made in the United States are those manufactured in the Wil- | lamette Valley. Cheap water power, abundsnce of suitable tiaber and straw, make Eugene well adupted for paper manufacturing. Eugens will welcome and substantially encourage both of the & g e X RESIDENCE OF ¢ o, VARLTILTEIT = i - - _H.FRIENDLY — - EUGENE , OREGON i | = | which free public schools are maintained from three to nine months in the year. The leading industries of the county are divided into wheat raising, hop cuiture, fruit raising, lumberine, mining, salmon canning, stock raising and dairying. Wheat raising in Lane County., with proper culture, yields from twenty to sixty corn, clover and timothy do weil. tries, about 1800 acres being cultivated in the county. The dverage yield is 1500 pounds to the acre and the average price i3 12 cents per pound. There is still much good hop lznd awaiting cultivation, to be bought for $2) to $50 per acre.

This profit varies according to care and culture of tree: adaptability of soil and locality, mark price and business management, from $50 per acre at five years old to $400 per acre at full growth. From the time a young orchard is set out until it begins to bear for market the ground between the trees can be cultivated to vegetables or small {ruits or stocked with pouitry at good profit. The profits in fruit culture here are remarkeble, some single trees yielding as high as $40 1n one ssason. Salmon canning is a leading industry at Florence, near the seaconst, the annual product selline at about $40,000, Four or five creameries are in success- ful operation in the county and more are being built. Cartle, sheep, hogs and Angora goats are all snccessfully and profitably raised. The hills and mountains furnish abund- ant free range, as nearly one-half the county is stili uasoccuvied Government and railroad land. Angora goats, intro- duced in this county some years ago, have been found very profitable in the foothill and brushv sections. Their mo- bair brings from 20 to 35 cents per pound, the climate seems to suit them and they are very useful in clearing land, as they destroy all brush within their reach, thus aiding materially in bringing the wild land into.cultivaiion. Taxation is reasonable, being 17 mills total for 1896 for_State, schoo! and county purposes, and 15 mills for the year 1897, Tne county has no bonded indebiedness and warrants are going ai a premiam. The city of Kngene, situated about the center of the county, at the hexd of steam- boat navization on the Willamette River, is the largest trade center in the county and the fourth ecity in population in the State. It is the seat of the Oregon State morally, spiritually. It cannot then ignore religious trainiog, for Teligion forms the axis of personal character, and the development of character is the prime eloment of success in life. Religious development rests on obedience. To fear God is to shun evil. But it is easier to obey man than God. The commendments of mancan be written out 1n the form of cere- monies and observance;. These can b easily followed and understood. To ob-y God one must go behind all conventionalities of man 10 read lis commandments each for himsel. These are not the same as the commandments of the visible church, which must consider not only the growth of the man, but the growth of tne organization, and the needs of the man may sometimes be sacrificed to the needs of the organization. Mauv have condemned the universities of the world becsuse they do Dot stand ns sery- ants of the visible church. Some of this con- demnation has fallen on usat Palo Aito. Be- cause we are not under the sway of some re. ligious society men have seid we are without reiigion. In this regard the die is cast once for all. The cholce of the founders of this nniversity was deliberate and final. They chose the patn of intellectual and religious ireedom in the very interest of religion itself. They believed that freedom of thought and rction would romote morality and religion; that a deeper, uller_religious life would come from tha growth of the individual; tiat only when the Winds of freedom were blowing would come the highest type of religious development. Tor character is formed from within by the efforts and strivings and aspirations of the fn- dividual. It cannot beimposed from without. The wuil §s made strcne from choosing the right, not from having 1ight action impressed upou’it. The life of man is “made beautiful and swee: through sei-devotion and through Seif-restraint,” but this must be chosen volun- tazily becausé 1t 18 good. The word “religion” i§ used in many senses and on the definition we adopt depends the truth of whatever we may say about it. What 1 choose to call religion is devotion in action. It is devotion to the highest thoughts; it is dotermination to do the highest deeds; ft'is the inspiretion of right-doing, the impulse to choose the best acts possible to us because we know them to be the best. Hence the highest religion is the iadividual, atd being the out- growth of the individual human soul itisin perpetual protest against the jorms and ob- tervances and conventionalties of the re:gi We have & right to rec aim the word ou” from its ‘obsolete meaning. It is not & for ryrants, bigots and sentimentalists. It is & robust word, instinct with life. It does uot mean mere docllity, obsdience to all com- mands, whatever their credentials. It does not méan bigotry and intolerance, which are the evii sides of seif-righteousness and self- conceit, which it is the part of religion to dis- place. ‘Religion 1s not mere sentimentalism, either quiet or spasmodic. It is & matter o 1eeling, only &s fecling leads iorward to deeds. 1115 10 be tésied every day by its fruits, by its «ffect ou the formation of character and its service to other men. Religion is not a matter of Sabbaths and priests and churches. It belongs no more to the first duy of the week than to any other of the seven, Itissatisfied witn no part of the life; with no corner of the soul. It musthave #11 or nothing, and all times and ali places are its alike. Toe man who is essentially reiigious remains 50 on all days, in all things which he does, in_all conditions of life. All daysare sainis’ days 1o the reverent man. Changes of - ceremonies, changes of creed are no more n changes of garment. They do not affect the inner nature of a man, for vital religion must be above ail temporary conditions. “Re- ligion,” s wise man has said, “must include the heart, the intellect and the conscience.” These are the three characteristics of the bigher life: Sweetness, hight and strenzth. The chargcter of man is built up by doing day by day the very best he knows. His fectiveness, his power for g2od, asks more ihan this. He mustdo the best that can be known. Only the best tha: is possible can survive. Evil and iolly cannoi hurt the world. They leave no permanent mark upon il.

But the strength of, man may leave iis impression on the old earth itsel, Itis God’s impress wrought by humsn hands. The conscience of man is & factor in human development. To train men to do the best they know has been ihe fanctions of the historie church. To train men to dodde best that can be known is the duty of the university. To this end heart &nd brain and conscience must work 10gether. Thet each should be strong each must grow in freedom. Eacn day Gol renews the work of creation. Every dayand instanily he makes fresh de- mands upon man. Itis the funciion of 1e- iigion to respond to taess demands.

That which is real must deal with realities, snd the test of its development will be found in sweetness, en- lightenment and effectiveness. TG mEe RACING AT SANTA ROSA.

DURKARDS SIT AT SOLEMN BANQUET The Annual Last-Supper Ceremony Observed at Lordsburg. Mén and Women of the Sect Silently Wash Each Other’s Feet. Strange Rites In Accord With Those - of the Christ and His Apostl POMONA, Car, May 16.—Last night was the most 1mportant in the calendar of Dunkards, and the little viilage of Lords- burg, in Pomona Valley, was thronged by people. According to Dunkard reckoning, Christ was crucified in the early weeks of May. Thechurch observes at thattime the annual last-supper and feet-washing ceremonies, following more literally the scenes in the .last hours of the Saviour than does any denomination in America. These annual ceremonies took place at Lordsbnrg last night. Lordsburg is the only large Dunkard colony in California or west of Kansas. There are over 600 in this region, and all gathered at the meeting yesterday. A host of people of other and of no re- ligious beliefs went to Lordsburg from all parts of Pomona Valley to witness the strange ceremonies of this religious sect. For days they had been in preparation. Houses had been cleaned, the family washing done for weeks in advance, and all cooking necessary for three days had been religiously performed. The Dunkards in their sable garb as- sembled yesterday afternoon in a large npper hall that they call their tabernacte. The room is divided by a railing tha* runs lengthwise of the apartment. The men took seats on one side ana the women on the other. No more serious audience ever congregated. For two hours Elder Pennington preached upon the sacredness of the anni- versary. Then foliowed an hour of silent prayer, and men and women sank on their knees in awing silence and remained there with bent heads until Eider Pen- nington announced that devotions were over. At 8 o'clock last evening the Dunkards reassembled in the tabernacle for the last service. They came insilence and alone, No one spoke and no children were brought to utter childish prattle. Every- 1hing was done to follow closely upon the gospel description of the last supper and scenes of Christ with his disciples. Great tables with snowy white clothes had been set in the hall, and there were about them hundreds of seats. The scene was intensely solemn and the most irreverent onlookers could but be impressed. At 8:30 o’cléck 200 men, all in the plainest black garp and wearing long beards had arrived and over 300 women in the sim- plest black gowns and bonnets of black with a little white at the front. For half an hour all were on their knees in silent prayer. Occasionally sobs and I moans were heard from those more deeply moved. Then Eider Pennington rose and said: ‘Let as do as the Master did.” Half a dozen foot-tubs partly filled with water were brought, together with a pile of towels. The tubs were equally divided among the men and wonien, Who set apart from each other. While several patriarchal men put towels about their waists as aprons several women did like- wise, Then each man with an apron took a tub in his hands and went and kissed some other man on the lips and knelt at the other’s feet. He removed the other man’s shoes, turned up his trouser-legs and ceremonlousiy washed his feet. Then, when he had dried the feet with the towel, he again kissed the man and ealuted him, saying: .~This we do in memory of our Master.” Then that man whose feet had been washed girded hims=1f with the apron and bimself performed the foot-washing cere- mony. 8o they went on from ore man to another for over an hour. Meanwhile the women were likewise kissing, saluting and washing one an- other’s feet. It was all done solemnly, save for the splashing of water, the kisses and the subdued words of salutation no sotnds were heard. All the spectators were awed to silence at the strange scene. After a long period of silent prayer the communion of bread and wine was ob- served. Then came the observance of the last supper. Baskets of plates and forks and spoons and knives were brought in and arranged on the table. Then came dishes of cold staple foods, such as roast beer, pork and beans, bread and water. Supper was eaten without a word spoken and one heard only the rattle of knives and forks. Each vperson had been ex- horted to remember the meaning of the supper. Then, following the description of the Lord’s last supper, the Dunkards rose to their feet at a given signal and witih bowed gheads sang two verses of a sacred hymn #nd went out of the hall and home witbout another word escaping their lips. At home the greater part of them re- mained in silent prayer all last night. PACIFIC GROVE ENCAMPRENT. Cadets of St Mathew's School/ Engage in a Compstitize Drill for a Medal. PACIFIC GROVE, Cin, May 16.—On account of the sham battle on Friday aft- ernoon, which lasted longer than wasan- ticipated by the officers, the competitive drill between the two companiesof St. Mathew’s School Cadets encamped here was postponed until yesterda; At the appointed time Lieutenant Herrion of Company A marshaled his company be- fore the reviewing stand and the cadeis presented arma to the judges, Who were: Major Andrew Kirk, U. 8. A., the com- mandant of the encampment; Captain M. P. Seeley, U. 8. A., and Lieutenant A. W. Jones Jr. of the Old Capital Cadets. The company was then put through a series of maneuvers and the manual of arms, ac- cording to 8 programme arranged by the judges, but the weakness of the company sbowed in lack of precision in executing the commands and imperfections in align- ment. When Company B, commanded by Lieutenant Johnson, came forward to go through the same maneuvers the large crowd of spectators saw immediately that there was not the slightest doubt as to the result of the contest, for from the very first Company B's drill was executed with an alertness and uniformity that was ex- cellent in_every particular, and the boys fully merited the hearty commendations which were showered upon them. After the drill the battalion was formed atcamp and the school drill medal was presented to Company B by Captain See- ley. Then ranks were broken and the boys cheered_vociferously for the school, the judges, Lieutenant Johnson and the successiul Company B. Camp was broken Iast night and the boys returned to San Mateo to complete their school term. e ——— e our losses. o’clock. everything Third ties—Mialmo beat Seminole, Jester Final—Mialmo beat Jester, 3 The insurance com- ¢ ¥ _a panies have "adjusted, \ open our doors to the public Tuesday morn- ing. promptly at 8 Suits and Overcoats / slightly damaged by smoke and water— some not at all.
