ALMOST A FIRE.

The fire bell brought things up standing
on the run Saturday m ,rning. Tie alarm
WAS caused by an incipient blaze in the
shop in the rear of wilkins furniture store.
A lot Of excelsior packing used in uphol-
stery was piled up on the floor and by some
means it got on fire. 1t blazed up pretty
lively and Jheatened TO make destructive
fire of it for few moments; but the flames
soon Tapped up the flimsy stuff they fed
upon and with the application of a few
buckets of water the blaze was readily SUBJ
dued. In the meantime the department
had gotten into position for effective work,
but happily their labors were not needed
and they retired unsoiled by a struggle
with the 'hidens monster of the wasting
brand and soaring breathe" The dam
age was 500 which amount was promptly
paid, upon investigation jointly, by F. III.
johnson, representing the Home Mutual
and Zephin Job, of the Northwestern in.
surance company.

BOUND TO DANCE.

The "terrigenous terpsichorean ten''
have essentially, empbatically determined
to perform pirouettips pantomimes next
Friday evening if it takes a leg-yea, if 1T
takes two legs, both feet and not the slight
est sprinkling of gyrations with both hands.
Finding that it would not be practical to
cut hole fourteen feet square in the din
ing room floor of the Hotel Corvallis in
which to chain the ''terrigenous bouncer;"
Or that the ''terrgenous sack holder" might
become obstreperous and break into the
hash foundry and eat all the ''vittles" up,
the ''terpsichorean ten" have concluded to
capture the opera house for the occasion,
and there's where the insurrection will
hold forth. The high.lord.duke.M .Micackiack
that presides over these diaphanous seintil-
lations hereby promptly resents the seduc-
tive Vaccinations of the +terpsichorean ten
aforesaid, to inveigle him into their entang-
ling alliance. Tickets. $l.00 spectators,
25 cents. The dance is sure 90, and don t
you fail to remember it when you think
about it.

Some Horrors OF Guackery,


The. old proverb, "Any port In a
Storm has often found practical illus
tration in the empirical treatment of
disease. Time was when even regular
practitioners in the art Of healing in
cluded in their professional armament,
along with many simple remedies of
real value, other matters, the very men
tion Of which might almost suffice to en-
gender illness. We may feel thankful
that we have now entered upon later
and more scientific era, and that such
extraordinary drugs rs weasels' gizzards,
does hoofs, snails, and other even more
repulsive horrors, do not now find a place
In any pharmacopooia.
r., There still exists, however, species
Of medical folklore, and some of its pre-
scribed wisdom available for use In ill
ness is Of the most remarkable kind.
Times Of panic, by throwing a popula-
ton to. some entent ON its own resources
for treatment, are apt to create de-
mand for these survivals of q dark age.
This happened lately In Germany, where
toad cooked with much care was swal-
lowed as cure for cholera. As to the
result we are not informed. Most Of Ms
would probably choose to suffer rather
than thus attempt our ovn yeliek-1nn-

The Echo Organ and Electricity.

The Echo Organ and Electricity.
The echo organ is something that the
most unmusical can appreciate. It is
part Of the great organ, and still re-
moved from it. Sometimes it is put in
the loft between the ceiling and the
roof, but the best authorities recommend
that it be kept in a room built expressly
for it we'll up toward the ceiling, with
openings to permit the sound to reach
the auditorium, bat always higher than
the main organ, because its voice fol-
lows the dying notes Of the great organ
like an echo, and the best effect is given
when the echo descends, as though 1t
were the answering voice of angels.
There is such an echo organ in Grace
church, and great one is building In
this city for All Saints Catholic church,
at One Hundred and Twenty-ninth
street and Fourth avenue.
The beautiful idea of the echo organ
Is not new, for there is one in the great
Harlem organ, which was built in
1735, but the use Of electricity for play
ing the echo organ is new, and it is the
only way in which the echo organ can
be used to perfection without an en-
tirely separate organ and organist. With
the electrical keyboard the organist
plays the echo organ from the keyboard
of the great organ, both together If de-
sired, but usually separately. One OF
the first electric action organs built in
this country was exhibited at the Ameri-
can institute fair in 1869. 1t was made
in this city.-New York Times.

CORVALLIS CARRIAGE FACTORY.

'You may tell your readers" said
Superintendent Sticker of the Corvallis
carriage factory on one of his characteristic
swallow-wing swoops in which he talks
business in twenty different locations IN
twenty different minutes; ''tell them that
the Corvallis carriage factory has just fin
ished for livery firm in this city a new
three.seated, silver mounted canopy carriage
that is the best piece of workmanship in the
line ever turned out in the state of Oregon.
That on Wednesday last the factory made a
shipment to Portland firm of fifty buggies
in lump. That Oh the preceding Satur-
day lot of thirty was shipped to fill San
Francisco order. That few days ago car
load went to Bailas, and nearly every day
smaller lots of from one to dozen buggies
are sent out to fill orders from every section
of the country. The factory is finishing
from six to twelve buggies a day. Sixty.
five to seventy men are employed in the fac
tory, and many of these find it necessary to
continue their labors untr, 10 o'clock every
night in order to keep up with their work.
The pay roll amounts to over 81 900 a month.
IL is matter to inspire hearty congratu-
lation both on behalf of the factory company
as well as the community at large, that the
enterprise is meeting with such success. 1t
does Corvallis robust service in more ways
than one. To begin with, it adds, on an
off hand estimate, l25 citizens to the COM

to electrify the nerves of business and back

and still further, sending its emissaries with

A PAPER WORTH HAVING.

The old saying that nothing succeeds
like success is we'll illustrated by the ca
reer of the Rural Northwest. which was
founded in Portland, Oregon, a little over
year ago, and has already established itself
as the leading agricultural paper of the Pa.
cifo northwest. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that the success of this paper is simply
the result of merit. 1t is no cheap concern
made up of stereotype plates aud stale clip
pings, but is bright, crisp and clear, filled
with original matter which hits the condi-
tions that exist in the Pacific northwest.
Among fruit flower : it Is an especial favor
ite, as it makes horticulture a leading fea-
ture. and gives the best and fullest reports
published of he meetings of the state horti.
| cultural societies of Oregon and Washing
ton, and includes among its regular contEib'
utors in this department such men as Prof.
Lake, of the Washington agricultural col.
leee; Prof Washburn, of the Oregon agri.
cult ral college. A. T. Hawley and others
of eminent ability. Th" dairy department
| is maintained with no less vigor, as indi-
Gated by the fact that its editor. H NJ. Will
hanson, holds the. position Of secretary OF
the of the Oregon State Dairy Association.
Live stock and poultry are not neglecte 4,
nd progressive agriculture is the spirit
which animates the general management OF
the paper.
Among special features are its depart
ments devoted to the ''Home Circle" and
sAmong the Farmers" The latter depart
ment is very popular and special feature
with this paper.
One of the peculiar merits of the Rural
Northwest is that everything is treated
from the practical standpoint o. the produ-
Ger. This handsome l6page paper, pub
lishcd twice month, is paper well worti,
its subscription price of one dollar per
year, and one that every farmer, fruit
grower and dairyman should have and keep.
1t gives US pleasure to announce, that we
have made arragements by which we are
able to offer it as premium to all new sub
scrihers paying us for one year in advance.
We t. nld secure some Of the Eastern farm
papers a. -luch less cost to ourselves, but
realize tbs fact that for this section the
cheap class of Eastern agricultural papers
are scarcely worth having, and not to be
compared in value with the Rural North
| west.
