The Capital City Nursery Com
pany, of Salem, shipped 500 pounds
of baled moss to nurseries at Fresno,
Cal. This article is strictly an Ore
gon production, and for packing
fruit trees and shrubs for shipment
cannot be surpassed. This ship
ment was made at Salem, the moss
being gathered in the woods in the
immediate vicinity of the city.
Rumor has it that the moss is worth
$50. per ton, delivered at the nur-
ceries in California, Portland Dis

The vote for the selection of
school text books for Use in the
schools for the next six years results,
with a few exceptions In the adop.
ton of the books of the American
book company. Among the books
adopted is Barnes History at the
price of 81, the same book that sells
i'll Wisconsin for IS cents. 1t is to
be said to the credit ofthe Superin-
tendeut Of Benton county that he
voted against the adoption Of this
book, as he thought his constituents
were lily able to pay the book trust
81 for book they sell elsewhere
for 25 cents less per copy. The ex-
ira proht on this book will pay for
the expenses of newspaper howling
against change, which played an
important part i'll the trust cam
paign to secure readoption of their
books, the trust has conducted. It
is precious thought to school pat
rons to know that they have a
school system that permits rings
aud combines to mulctthem Of their
hard earned eavnings. Corvallis

A NE MORY.

Sobbing and looking back she fed away
From where love lay.
Dead love, so tender one short hour ago,
Under the cold light of the northern star
Now lying low
Moonshino and star dust scattered DER his
head,
And Us she fed
a waiting echoed round her and her tears
Fell heavily, uui in the distance far
A.down the years
A voice cried. 'l1one no more, for love is
dcad!"
Deep in the barron sands young Love was
couchod,
And near him crouchct
a striped beast, gaunt, hungry, with rcd
mouth
Wet with his blood.
This was the t!.r"ss Fate inSatiate,
Who crccis AMI crouches ever on Loves path,
Nor mercy hatn,
But watches, patient, tirelcss even as death,
For only this may quench Fato's burning
drought
Fair Loves last breath,
And his hearts blood alone can stay her
wrath.
To left, to right, the barron desert spread,
And overhead
A %vulture, Wheeling, circlcd, black and grim.
SHE looked not on the desert nor above,
But back to him
And that lank beast, and, moaning, snake no
word
Nor knew nor heard
AuGht save the shivcring echo of her moan,
Sighing, "Alolc."
Then darkness fen upon the face of Love,
Inc barren desert, woman, beast and bird.

commission engaged in the investigation
Of the ku Cheng missionary massacre
had been blocked by the refusal Of the
Chinese TO execute those found guilty
unless all future demands should be wa.v-

Minister DENLY has cabled the depart
ment that seven men implicated in this
outrage have been convicted and exc
cuted. This was corroborated in a dis
patch a few hours later from Consul
General Jernigan. in which he said decap-
itation took place this morning.
Minister DENLY reports that the COM
mission is still at work and making as
rapid progress as possible under the pc
cUliar conditions found in China.
There is good reason to believe that
further executions Will promptly follow
convictions
The Cheng tn commission has not been

poets to see this commission actively at
work within a reasonable time.

ARRESTED FOR TWO CENTS.
An Innocent sweat-shop Girl Took n Pal
try Hi OF Ribbon.

NEW YORK. Sept. lS.--On the amazing
charge OF stealing paltry piece OF IioDon'
worth two cents. from her employers,
Jennie Harris, aged fourteen years, was
arraiened before Magistrate Corheh yes
terday. The surprised Official promptly
discharged the weeping girl after rep
rimand, and bluntely told the nttie-souie..
complainant, Superintendent 'ehuis' OF
Alexander. Hoifahcimer Co, that the
rirrs narents had grounds for action
against him. -,
The girl dld not look like very des-
perate criminal when she appeared In
the dock. Her eyes were red and swol-
len with weeping. and she seemed 10 DE
under the impression that nothing snort
of long imprisonment was to be her
doom.
Jennie wept as she told the Judge that
two days ago she had gone TO work ior
Vendig at a salary OF $50 week. She
was rentting some old caps. ana took
a small Bit OF ribbon, which she supposed
was worthless, and put 1t I'm her mar.
When charged with theft she had De
come confused and had tried 10 hide the
ribbon. She said she had never taken
anything before.

Magistrate Cornell asked to see the
ribbon. yendis took from an envelope
a ragged piece OF ribbon about three
inches long. Its value vas said 10 be
two cents Magistrate Cornell In tone
of surprise exclaimed:
We'll. Is that all?''
That's all the evidence ] have, your
Honor" replied VenIig, but as far as
as know she may have stolen sl0O worth
before she was caught"
she only worked for you two days,
said Magistrate Cornell, land you have
no evidence OF further thefts. | think
the best course for you to pursue wouli
be to withdraw the charge and let me
discharge the girl with a reprimand.
Nendig was unwilling, but finally con-
scented. Magistrate Cornell after a
severe lecture TO the girl discharged
her. She promised TO be more carful
in the future.
After the disposition Of the case Ven
dig seemed worried, and coming once
more before the Magistrate. said. "Your
Honor will you tell me whether thi:
girls parents have grounds for an ac-
tion?"
Yes" said the Magistrate, Il can
say they certainly have grounds"
What would you advise me to do?"
II can't advise YOU" said the Magis-
trate.
