A MISUNDERSTANDING last week
there were three "drummers" for
a patent gate firm in this city, all
endeavoring to sell county right
to some one. This week another
one visited the city and, from his
conversation, one would judge that
patent gates are a step too far in
advance for most Benton county
farmers. Book agents are begin
ing to flock here also. there having
been two here since Tuesday, also
a peddler OF towel and hat racks,
and a new substance to remove
oil spots from clothes. Even the
cold and stormy weather is no bar
rier to them. One OF the agents
had a book entitled the "Heroes
of the Dark Continent" which he
was trying to sell by representing
1t to be written by the great STAN
ley-when J. F. Buell., a writer Of
note, was the author. When
Stanley's book is issued it will be
something more than a lot of
newspaper stories boiled down ac-
companied by few illustrations.
Any sensible person certainly
knows that Stanley has not found
time enough, since his return from
Africa, to prepare the manuscript
relating to his experience in that
far-off land. Don't be gulled by
such fellows.

VALUABLE ANIMAL DEAD-Last
Sunday VIM. Buchanan desired to
go to his farm, few miles south
of Corvallis, and so started on
horseback. When he came to
Mary's river it was necessary to
cross on the footbr'dge and swim
the animal. After removing the
saddle and kridle the horse was
led into the water and, after going
a few feet, she suddenly lost all
power of movement and several
times came near going down, the
only thing preventing being the
holding of her head out of water
by the person leading her. When
the south bank was reached the
mare refused to leave the water.
and before assistance could be
called to draw her out she died.
With the aid of some men she was
hauled up on the bank and imme
diately blood began running from
the nose and mouth showing that
a blood vesselmust have burst while
she was struggling in the water.
The loss to Mr.. Buchanan is about
800. On Monday sum was
made up to that amount by sever
al of this gentlemen's friends and
presented to him.

The LEADING GRocER.-Else-
where in this issue of the GAZETTE
appears the advertisement of the
leading grocer, A. F. Hershner,
This gentleman was for a number
of years connected in the grocery
business with j. P. Irvine but in
1888 a dissolution OF partnership
occurred, the latter retiring. Since
then Mr.. II. has not only held the
patronage of former customers
but has gradually increased the
number until now he is foremost
in this line of business in Corvallis.
His store room is always stocked
with the purest and freshest OF
goods, and his line of glassware,
crockery, etc., is the very latest
style.

A NATIONAL BANK.-Rumor has
it that Corvallis is soon to have a
national banking house. This
scribe has not yet enquired into
to the matter, but clipping from
an Omaha paper, 1900 miles DIS
tant, has been received wherein it
includes, in its Washington news
concerning applications to estab-
lish such houses, the 1.-The Cor
wallis. national bank. at Corvallis,
Or, with NJ. S. Woodcock and as
sociates," as applicants. A pain
ter has also informed this pencil
shower that the large windows of
the present Woodcock bank are
soon to be .slettered" and, taking
all things into consideration, it is
supposed that the word national
will appear from the letters. Such
a house is needed in this city, and
it is hoped the application will be
allowed.

The Cow that Dairymen Want

President Douglass, Of the Vermont
Dairymen Association, is credited with the
following:
"Had l known the results OF using
grade bulls When l began building my
dairy years ago it would have saved me
thousands Of dollars. As il WAS l didn't
realize that only full blooded sires could
be depended upon. and l have now only
just succeeded in bringing my herd Of
forty to an average productiveness OF 300
lb. per COW after years Of careful thought,
comparison and study. My experience
has shown me that grades are werth more
for practical purposes in the dairy than
full bloods. Pedigree isn't everything.
Only small percentage Of thoroughbred
Jerseys and Guernseys make 800 ID, Of
butter per year. 1t is the straight pro
ducing, every day COW that dairymen
want. Blooded herds must exist, but
only few individuals in these herds are
qualified to build up herds. Never keep

1t is much better economy to increase
the productiveness OF diaries by selection
and breeding than to make such increase
by the addition OF members, A 300
pound per snnum butter COW requires no
more feed, care. labor and trouble than a
50.pound one. One man can milk ten
300.pound COWS, but it requires two men
to milk twenty 100 pound COWS. A pas
ture that wonld be short for twenty cows
would fu.niel flush feed for ten. Hall
tho stable room and half the hay 10
winter will provide for ten 3O0-poupd
COVE; but twice a. much room and feed is
required for twenty scrubs. So it ia easily
possible for . man with ten 300 pound
cows TO beat bis neighbor with twenty
scrubs at the same time he will save
fully one.hslf the expense. Anyone can
see the effect Of this on the net incom
II is by far preferable to increase ones
dairy production by increasing the yield
per COW than to increase it by adding TO
the number Of cows TO be pastured,
stabbed. fed and cared for. Quality be
fore quantity. Is good motto.

According to tse Theory egpounded
by the physicians ~ a certain insane
asylum, the uncomfortable individuals
known a. cranks are CAUSED by irregu-
Iarities in the circ llation Of the blood
They are the result Of the artificiality
and pressure Of modern life, causing an
anatomical change Of the human heart
Among the changes are cited those by
which the diameters Of the heart are
becoming greater. its walls thinner, It's
strength less, its beats more frequent
From these changes is produced irregu-
larity Of the quantity Of blood through
the weakened channels that irrigate the
garden Of the brain As the circulation
Is not normal, some parts Of the brain
receive too much blood and other parts
not enough, causing irregular growths,
and mental obliquity, and cranka A
general adoption Of this will undoubtedly
produce a change in the public mind re-
uarding cranks. Instead Of looking upon
these eccentric individuals as the prod
ucts Of natural perversity and hayward
ness, responsible for their own actions,
society will tolerate them with compass
sion. If crank is particularly cranky,
It will be known that too much blood -
irrigating a certain portion of the garden
of his brain. Umbrella cranks, for ex-
ample, are simply victims Of the action
of the heart which stimulates with too
much blood the idea Of appropriating
somebody else's umbrella. Base ball
cranks are suffering from irregular
growth of the gray matter Of the brain.
1t Is not their fault but their misfortune
that their brain is mapped out like
base ball field, irrigated and kept fresh
by constant supply Of hearts blood.
The cranks that are always borrowing;
the cranks who want to know whether
this il hot enough for you" all kinds Of
social and political cranlxs are simply
the results Of peculiar arterial circula-
ton As they are the results Of the de-
velopment of society and are innocent
victims of our social system, the injus-
fice Of making them the butts of satire
must be keenly recognized. They are

YOUNG BUT WICKED.
One OF the Most Notorious Young Desperadoes
in the Indian Country Behind the
Bars-His Career.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
FORT SMITH, ARK. June 23.-Eugene
Stanley, one of the most notorious young
men who ever figured in the Indian
country, was lodged behind the bars of
the United States jail this evening by
county. Stanley gave his age in at the
jail as nineteen years, yet he has eight
charges of highway robbery, one murder
charge ana one assault to answer for,
besides having served two terms in the
penitentiary. He has made most of his
record since last November, when he
and two pals robbed an old
farmer named Horn of about 500.
They hung the old man, burned his feet
and threatened to pour oil on his wife
and set her on fire before be gave up his
cash. In December he and his cousin,
Hamp Stanley, concocted plan to rob
man near Doggy depot, Choctaw Ma
ton, and tried to force a young man
named Jones TO go with them. Jones
ran and Eugene shot him in the leg. He
and his cousin were both captured the
following night and the next, while
handcuffed together, Eugene slipped his
bracelets and escaped in broad day
light. Since then he has been the
leader of no less than six highway
robberies. On the 9Th of April, in COM
pany with John Boyd, George Meyer, an
escaped convict, Stanley got into fight
with some ferrymen in which Meyer and
one of the ferrymen were killed, while
Boyd and himself were wounded. Boyd
was captured, but Stanley got away.
On the 18th of the same month he was
captured near Red Oak creek, brought
to this city on the night train
and escaped from the hotel be-
fore morning. After getting away he
went to Johnson county, sixty miles
from here, where he has been at work
on a farm, and was captured yesterday
evening by strategy. Letters found on
his person show he was on the eve of
com uniting another robbery, aud was
only waiting for a companion he had
written for to come and take hand.
He and John Boyd will be tried jointly
fot the murder of the ferryman. John
will likely stretch hemp.

JUDGE LYNCH ANXIOUS.
Excited People Eager to Get Hold OF the Cotton
Belt Robbers, Who Are Carried to
GAINESVILLE for safety.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
TExARKANA, TEN. June 49, The al
legged Cotton Belt train robbers were
again brought into court this morning
and their trial resumed. The statement
of Mrs. Radcliffe as reported in these dis
patches last night was read by Justice
Cannon and created a profound sensa-
ton. The court took recess until
CLOCK this evening and the three de-
PENDANTS were hurried back to jail. The
truth is that the defendants, learning of
the statement made by Mrs. Radcliffe,
waived further examination and the
court remanded them to jail without bail.
Owing to the excitement existing the
court ordered that the three prisoners,
John A. Williams, Napoleon Nc
Daniel and John Brawley be COM
mitted in the GAINESVILLE Jail for
safe keeping. More than 1000 people
gathered at the depot this evening to see
the prisoners off, ana it was remarked
by many that summary vengeance would
have been melted out to the accused but
for the regard had for Sheriff Edwards
and the earnest desire of the entire COM
munity that he should receive the reward
that he so richly earned in the capture of
the robbers. The prisoners left this,
evening at $40 on the Transcontinent9f
road for GAINESVILLE. They were chaiRed
together aud in charge of SherifHdA-
wards and four of his trusted detfta.
The sheriff of Red River has beensequest@e
ed to meet the party with stroEg guard.
On an intimation made to Sheriff Ed.
wards that the prisoners wouldss sSSsss-
manded of him to be triedlsBy Judge
Lynch, he replied to the esect that he
had placed them all in jaiISand that he
would give up his life before they Should
be removed illegally. The psisQneEGsafe
gone and the excited crowd has dis
persed, and the excitement for the tiass'
being allayed.
