THEacITYsLIBRARY.

The pride of any city is It's social and edu-
cational advantages, its churches, fraterni-
ties, halls, reading rooms, and other places
of gathering for the purpose of higher cul-
ture. Literature that is sent abroad, adver-
tising our fair city. invariably mentions the
fact that we have city library. This argues
the acknowledged worth of this institution
to Corvallis as well as the general apprecia-
tion of reading,rooms. The rooms are amply
furnished. Quite large collection of valu-
able books, newspapers and magazines are
kept constantly on hand. The library is
accomplishing . beautiful work in the gem
eral dissemination OF literature, and, in some
cases, in furnishing..a quiet reading room as a
resort for some who have temptations that
others are not heir to. The grand work of
promoting the interests of thiss organization
has been imposed on several ladies who are
sacrificing time, thought and money for the
purpose of accomplishing the greatest possi-
BILE good. The expenses, including rent,
insurance, fuel, lights, etc., must aggregate
nearly 5000 per annum. This is furnished
by the committee of ladies' having the work
in hand: therefore, they should be enconr.
aged in raising at least twice this amount
per annum SO that accessions may be made
to the library, and thereby increase its use

TAKEN IN, DECIDEDLY.

Mr.. Walter Moss, manager of the Calhoun
Opera Company, and well known by quite
a number of Albany people, being form er
Webfoot, was recently "taken in" in very
decided manner, in st Louis. A Seattle
paper tells about it: He was in a crowd,
watching fire, when pretty woman rushed
down the stairway of the Burning building,
and, apparently crazed by excitement, threw
herself into his arms and implored him to
save her. OF course, Moss attempted to
soothe her, and the rest is best told in his
own words: ''She soon caught sight of some
one she said she knew, and with profuse
apologies for disturbing me. was soon lost in
the crowd. Shortly after her departure a
bootblack at my elbow exclaimed; 'Yer
watch chains broke Mister!' Then began
to take stock. My watch and diamond
sparkler were gone, likewise small roll Of
bills from my vest pocket. 1 tried at once

started for the scene of action. Just what
he will represent to Cooper this time is hard

for and creditor to acquire lien thereon, or
in any manner secure preference over the
other creditors, and in the absence of any
statement of fact it is difficult to ascertain
how an attachment could have been levied
upon the assets in the hands of the receiver.
SIT is contended that the assignment
made by Hamilton, Job & Co., discharged
the equitable lien Upon, the assetsFof' said
firm, created by the appointment of the
receiver, and that the several appellants
having acquired their credits prior to the
assignment may offset them against their
respective debts, and in support of this con.
tention the appellants insist that the ap-
pointment Of a receiver constituted an equi-
table attachment. and that emo judgment
having been rendered therein the lien created
by the appointment of the receiver was dis
charged by the assignment of the debtors
for the benefit of their creditors.
''The manifest object of the statute is to
place the assets of an insolvent debtor in
the hands of the assignee for the benefit Of
all the creditors. in proportion to their RS
spective claims and to prevent any creditor
from acquiring lien upon the debtors pro-
perty, or the fund arising from its sale. If
the appointment of the receiver, creating an
Equitable lien upon the assets of the firm,
had been for the benefit of favored few,
there would be just reason for holding that
the assignment discharged such equitable
lien; but when it is remembered that the
receiver took an equitable interest in the
assets as trust fund for the benefit of all
the creditors, and that the assignee now
holds the legal title thereto for the same
purpose and persons, we sec no just reason
for holding that the receivers lien was dis
charged by the appointment cf the assignee,
when the only effect Of the proceeding was
to merge an equitable into legal lien for
the benefit of all tho creditors. ALI the
creditors, under the recsivsrship, had m
equitable lien upon the assets of the firm,
and under the assignment they have legal
lien upon the fund arising from sale
thereof. To admit that the equitable lien
was discharged by the assignment, and that
the appellants, having acquired their claims
against the insolvent's estate subsequent to
the appointment of the receiver, but prior
to the assignment could thereby offset them
against their debts would be to give the
statute a construction never contemplated
and contrary to its manifest object. To
odopt the appellants construction would be
equivalent to holding that they had acquired
lien upon the fund, or the right to OFFS
their claims against their debts, in spite o.
the statute which provides that such fund
must be preserved for the benefit of all the
creditors.

follows that it must be affirmed, and it is 81
