COULD NOT VOTE.
An Incident that Recently Occurred at
Corvallis.

An Incident that Recently Occurred at
Corvallis.
In its account of the recent cleo
tion in Corvallis the Times gives
an incident that ought to make
every thinking man stop aid con
slider his way, says the Albany
Democrat. A different scene was
when young Adam Bambarger of
fered to vote at the lower ward,
and his vote was challenged on the
ground that he had served term
in the penitentiary. The question
of whether or not he had been par
doned out arose, and full five min
utes was spent in examining the
law. He rSsd the book himself
silently, and those who looked on
could not help feel a pang Of pity
for the man whose own act placed
him in a position for a time ex-
tremely disagreeable. A big crowd
stood around, and when it was fin
ally decided that he was entitled
to no vote, BaNbarger left the place
with celebrity. 1t was an incident
that reminded those who saw il
that the penitentiary should be
Stunned, not for the inconvenience
of being locked within its dark
walls, but for the discredit thai
comes with freedom.

The New IIs,lrx Law

Washington has new usury
law which provides that the rate
of interest on loans, discounts, etc.,
shall be Z per cent, but this rate
may, by contract between the part
les, be increased at 10 per cent.
The legal rates for all warrants
shall henceforth be s per cent.
Judgments on written contracts
provided for payment of interest
until paid at a special rate shall
bear interest at that rate; other
wise at the rate of 7 per cent. The
law provides a somewhat curious
penalty for breach. Where great
er interest is contracted for the loan
shall not be void, but the party
who loans the money can only re-
cover the principal less the amount
Of interest contracted for, and the
defendant shall recover his costs,
and in case interest has been paid
the judgment can only be for the
principal less twice the amount Of
the interest paid and less the am.
cunt of all accrued and unpaid in
terest.

Sheen Shearine

In Eastern Oregon during the
summer season sheep-shearers are
in constant demand, and they find
employment at good prices. Ac-
cording to the condition of the
fleece they receive from five to eight
cents a head for shearing sheep,
and the average of good shearers
will range from 80 to 125 head
during a working day, which rang
es from early light in the morning
to twilight in the evening. Good
wages are made; but the season
does not continue over two or three
months in the year. They general
ly divide themselves into crews and
elect a foreman. He keeps tally
Of the work done, and in the even
ing gives to each man an account
of his earnings. These crews CON

Members of the order thought
the matter serious and think SO
yet. They allege that they have
been watched on every meeting
night and to prove this and satisfy
themselves as to who were the per-
sons watching their members on a

watch their spies and it is claimed
that they have all the names. But
they absolutely refuse to divulge
them. The order has been organ
lied here several months, but has
never taken active part in local
elections. It is not an A. P. A. or
ganization, as claimed by some,
but members assert that they stand
only ON the following platform
1. To maintain and promote the
interest Of America and shield
them from the depressing effects Of
foreign competition.
2. To assist Americans in get
ting work.
8. To encourage Americans in

wheat opening.

CHICAGO, May 28.-Wheat had wild
bull opening today, and within five min
utes from the tap of the bell was selling
2 cents higher than the price at which
it closed yesterday. Inside Of another
five minutes it had lost 111Sc of the gain.
The news was all of bullish character.
Yesterdays low barometer in the North
west had resulted only in light shower
here and there, and the cold wave was
beng followed by what promised to be a
scorching 'hot one. Perhaps the most
bullish piece of news, however, was the
report of King & Company, of Toledo,
who summarized the advices of over
1900 correspondents in the wheat belt, by
saying indications were that in six of the
principal wheat producing states not
more than half an average crop would
be raised.

The result was that when ready to go
home that night he was unable to walk,
owing to indammatory rheumatism. He
was taken home, and on arrival was
placed in front of good fire and
thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. During the evening and
night he was repeatedly bathed with this

of all rheumatic pains. He now takes
