Previous to the adoption of the flag Of
stars aud stripes the American people
had fought under n multiplicity OF flags.
Almos every colony had numerous sets
of synbolisms. Flags with Indian char
acters were carried Dy some OF the Vir-
gnia regimen $. while those OF the Car
olinas conained "a palmetto. Several OF
the southern regiments carried q banner
n blue held with white crescent. New
Yord regiments carried a banner OF
orange, white and blue stripes with or
wit out a bearer. while the men from
Connecticut fought under an ensign dis
playing three grape vines and the motto
OF the colony "Qui transtulit ssustinet."

the Continental army from that state
fought under banner bearing three
horizontal stripes similar to that Of the
United Provinces of the Netherlands.

Tue thirteen stripes were to represent
the thirteen original states banded to-
gether to constitute the Union and the
alternating Of red and blu, was to make
the flag readily distinguisuable at a dis =
tance. The choice OF the stars in the
blue field was because of the harmonic
ing effect of the whole combination. A
circle OF thirteen stars arranged as the
circumference OF "a circle was the first
design. while by the addition vf new
states to the Union the number of stars
has been increased to forty-four The
shape of the union has been changed also
from "a square to a rectangular shape,
which has mad the effect of making the
handsome banner more beau iful. The

NEW YORK. June 14-The famous
Southern society of New York, to which
all the prominent men of the South be-
long, and which. by tie introduction o,
club features In the last few years, has
been the Southern club. Is again to be-
come the Southern society by the elimi-
nation of those features.
There has been some debate of late
among the members OF this organization
as TO whether or not it should be run
purely as a social society without club
features, such as barroom, pool and
billiards. The question will be brought
to q climax today at . meeting of tue
society.
The executive committee unanimously
resolved TO report that all club features
which nave crept into the society within
the last four or five years shall be dis
continued. 1t recommends that the
organization return - the objects for
which it was organized, viz: giving ep-
tertain ments, holding receptions, the an
nual and otner banquets, aud creatir
and maintaining a ch lrIty fund.

The fall term of Philomath college
opens Wednesday, November I, 1893.

MAX FRIENDLY ASSIGNED.

Yesterday afternoon Max Friendly
made an assignment to w. T. Peet, cash
ier of the. First National bank The
immediate cause of the trouble was an
attachment for about S1,7oo filed by
John Long. Mr.. Friend1y's- assets are
quoted at $6s,4II and liabilities, $28, III.
Pressing conditions of the times and mis-
placed confidence in those he supposed
to be his friends, he says, is the direct
cause of this trouble. He wishes to an
nounce to the public that each creditor
will receive 100 cents on the dollar for
all his outstanding Indebtedness, and
only asks for a, little 1eniency until prop
erty can be disposed of. Until some.
thing is done by the government to re-
store confidence in business scommuni-
ties, such occurrences need be no sur.

SEDUCTION CHARGED.

On Wednesday morning a complaint
was lodged with Justice of the Peace E.
E. Wilson, by Miss Mary Vosberg
charging one David Thoms with seduc-
ton. The complainant is a young
woman who has until recently been en-
ployed at the home of NJ. P. Taylor, the
milkman. While there and soon after
her arrival, according to her story, she
formed the acquaintance of MIR. Thoms
and they were at once fast friends, this
friendship resulting in granting him
many liberties not usually accorded by
ladies in like circumstances, and as she
says, all based upon the promise of mar
riage in the future. Her pregnancy be-
came quite pronounced and she was
forced to retire to the home of her
grandparents until her condition war
ranted an appearance in public. On
Friday she appeared at the residence OF
Mr.. H. F. Fischer, by whom Thoms is
employed, and asked for her former
friend, to whom she proffered her feshy
responsibility, and her generosity was
declined with thanks by the alleged
papa, the dispute ending in hot words
passing between the whilom friends.
The baby was born, but its authorship is
still in doubt, owing to the fact that Mr..
Thoms denies having had anything to
do with the affair as indicated, and until
the case is tried in the courts the father
of the poor offspring will be unknown to
this cold and cruel world. The accused
was arrested by the sheriff and placed
under $3.50 bonds to await the opinion OF
the court. Both parties in question have
hitherto borne a clean reputation and
each have many friends who are willing
to advocate their purity of heart and
motives But it is to be hoped that
someone will be found who can truthfully
say:
'Welcome, little stranger;
You've made two fond hearts glad,

SOUTH CHICAGO, October Z, 1893.
EDITOR CALUMET: I desire to let the
people of this section know the great
benefit l have derived from the use
of Cnmberlain's Pain Balm. I am an
engineer, and in filling my duties as such,
often become overheated, while the strain
on my engine is very great, and has caus-
ed me much suffering. These pains were
of such frequent recurrence, that [ feared
kidney trouble. Physicians could do moth
ing for me, and often, after catching cold
would be laid up and lose day or two's
work. About year ago caught severe
cold and had to go to bed The pain in
my back was terrible and 1 could get no
relief. 1 sent to a drug store for some
kind of liniment and the druggist said
Chamberlain,s Pain Balm was as good as
anything. had the Pain Balm well rub
bed in across the small of my back, then
wet flannel cloth and bound it across the
seat of pain. In few hours relief came,
the pain had vanished, and the next day !
went to work and have not lost day
since. Yours Resp, 3. w. Bradley, En-
gineer. Pain Balm is for sale here by
Graham & Wells, druggists.

prepared for the oven when it-was placed
near the fire and when baked was found
