Corvallis against the World.

The Albany firemen came up on the
steamer Nellie to take part in the exercises.
Our fire department met them at the wharf
and escorted them up to Young Americas s
hall, where our Chief Engineer-Dr. N. B.
Avery-delivered very appropriate ad-
dress of welcome to our visiting brethren
from our sister town, which was responded
to by the Foreman of the Hook and Ladder
Company of the latter place. A contest in
the afternoon was had between the Hook
and Ladder Companies of the two places, to
ran drawing the H. & L. truck a distance
Of twohundred yards and climb to the top
Of ladder held in a perpendicular position.
Corvallis II. & L. came off victorious by
only four seconds, the Albany firemen hav-
ing gone through the performance in 50
seconds and those of Corvallis in 4S seconds.
At the time, however, when the Albany
tiremen started, it had rained quite hard
and not SO many came as otherwise would
have come. No doubt on this account some
OF their picked men did not come.

Religious Notes from philomasn.

The U. B. Conference of the Willamette
Valley held its session at Philomath last
week. The Rev. E. C. Wyatt, formrly an
instructor in Philolnath College, was elected
to take charge of the Benton county circuit.
On last Sabbath Bishop Castle, during
morning services, preached in the grove to
large audience of attentive listeners. The
Bishop, who in more than one sense is the
ta!lest preacher in the conference, looked at
the high stand before him and humorously
indicated the possibility of the stand being
bnilt for taller man than he. Around the
altar were the young ministers and the
apostles of the church to whom the main
gist of the sermon was directed, though it
was applicable TO many others. He said to
the many ministers who are now following
other ayocations, that they once were called
to the ministry, they answered the call for
many years, and now some are not preach
ing. He then very eloquently asked:
"When did God withdraw that CALI" His
sermon was rife with expressions that had
their desired effect. After the sermon the
collection was seventy dollars. During the
evening services the Bishop took suddenly
sick, and for time was not expected to
survive. At this writing he is slowly re-
covering,

so car axles. The present order from the
Canadian Pacific will doubtless lead to
further and greater orders from that quar-
ter.

pleasant time on the Fourth at Seattle, as
extensive preparations are being made by

it one face was made to resemble the bust

the other fellow seemed willing to quit when

it is supposed that the horse became fright

lying by the road side in an almost insensi-
BILE condition. The horse was running at
large and the buggy was badly demoralized.
He was thus found by his neighbor Newt
Smith. The only word he spoke or uttered
after being found was that 81 am killed"

Late TelegramS,

WASHINGTON, July 4.-President Gar
fields doctors were handled without gloves
in the Senate yesterday. For weeks and
months past bill proposing to appropriate
sl2O, 600 for the payment of expenses Of the
illness and burial of General Garfield has re-
posed in the possession of Judge Taylor,
chairman of the special committee appointed
to audit these expenses. The medical men
were handled without mercy by several
senator's: 1t was charged that they had
butchered tie president, and the story Of
his lingering illness in this city and Elberon
was with its concomitants, vicious surgical
operations, pus cavities and other details,
related to show that the proposed appro
priation for doctors was too much. The de-
bate was as repulsive as can be imagined.
WAsH1NeToN, July 4.-The threatened
collapse of star route prosecutions is the
subject of much comment here, and public
curiosity is beginning to be directed to
government counsel in the case, and their
movements.

Farmers Wives.

1t is an evident fact that Farmers wives
are afflicted with many diseases which are
the result If overwork. They are constant
ly OF one ceaseless routine of toll from day
light at morning until late at night. No
change, no Relation, no resti Farmers
should note this fact and be forewarned be-
fore it is too late. It is astonishing what
an amount of labor the wives of farmers
perform Many Of them get up and have
breakfast ready before their husbands are
out of bell Then it is work, work, work
until near midnight, their minds during the
time being constantly occupied with their
duties, and with thinking of how the food
is to be supplied, when the washing and
ironing is to be done, when time can be
spared to scrub the floor, how the children
are to be clothed and kept tidy, and innum-
cradle other things not necessary to men
/ ton, all of which combine to overwork and
break down the strongest woman In the
land. In no case is it safe to be continually
thinking upon any one thing, and In cases
where the brain has been weakened by too
great strain upon it, thereby producing
insanity, epilepsy, vertigo, Mysteries, female
weakness, general debility, and a multitude
of other diseases, the remedy is Rest and a
few bottles of Dr. S. A. Richmond & Co. s
Samaritan Neryine. It acts directly upon
the nervous centres and lnvigorates and
strengthens the whole system. Many ladies
have refrained from nsing Samaritan Ner-
vine on account of an existing prejudice
against advertised medicines. Let us ask
a question: Are you prejudiced against
sewing machines because you have seen
Them advertised, or can you doubt the in
genuity and skill required in their invention?
Ag;.in, would you refuse to insure your
house because the company advertised that
| it had paid millions of dollars in losses and
yet had capital of several millions left? :?
Do such advertisements shake your conf
slence and create prejudice Then why re.
fuse to credit the testimony of those who
have found Samaritan Nervine to be all
that is claimed for it in overcoming those
ailments peculiar to your sex ? The follow
ing statement speaks for itself:

hear of your medicine, and sent for some of
/ it. She had no more fits after she took

Icured, and her health is great deal bet

her picture and this testimonial in any
