CONCERNING KISSING.

The reason kissing is so pleasant. says an
osculatory expert Of scientific tendencies, is
because the teeth. jaw bones and lips are
fall of nerves. and when the lips of persons
meet an electric current is generated. =
Yonkers Gaz,tte.
Yes, it is SO confouuded cheap. You
don't have to have dynamo machine. nor
battery in the house nor call box. nor
button to touch to ring up the central Of
fee, and there is no patent o,f' it. and the
poorest persons in the world can enjoy the
electric current better than the milliouairo
and it never gets out of order. If Edison
had invented kissing it would cost 800 a
year, like the telephone, and then extra
kissing would be charged up extra, and if
you didn't pay for it they would take out
your kissaphone and disconuect you from
the central ofhce-Washingto Star.

Corvallis was startled Tuesday evening
by the announcement that Alonzo Haskins
was in the county Jail awaiting trial on
charge of attempted rape upon the person
Of Opal Wilkins, the 6-year-old daughter of
M. w. Wilkins. In the Indictment Haskins
is accused of having committed the henious
offense on or about March 29th at the Hotel
Corvallis From the father of the un-
fortunate child it was learned that Haskins
had been suspected of such crime prior to
the date mentioned When questioned in
regard to the matter the child admitted
that their suspicious were well founded.
When the last offsnse occurred Mr.. Wilkins
claims that Haskins was caught in the act
by the girls brother and upon his evidence
and that of the child the grand jury found
true bill. When arraigned Wednesday
morning Haskins was asked if he had any
funds with which 10 defray the expense of
attorney. Being answered in the negative
the court appointed A. L. McFadden to de-
fend him. The case will probably come up
for trial Friday.
The transcript and findings of Referee
J. Fred Yates in the case of j. A. Sturts.
want Vs. J. M. Ralston and J. L. Cowan, as
the Bank of Lebanon, was filed in the cir
cult court of Linn county last Monday.
The transcript consisted of over 1000 pages
of typewriter matter and was one of the
largest referee cases ever filed in Linn
county The case was brought by creditors
of the bank, who were attempting to prove
Ralston's ownership in the concern at the
time of its failure. If this theory could
have been established, it was the intention
of plaintiffs to hold Ralston liable for the
claims. Referee Yates, however, released
him from any liability, as Ralston's owner.
ship in the bank ceased during the year
1890, and gave the plaintiffs judgment
against j. L. Cowan for over $4,000. AL
though over 100 witnesses were examined,
the plaintiffs are yet unsatisied, their at
torneys having filed motion to set aside
the findings of the referee. From what
can be learned from parties familiar with
the litigation it is not likely that Judge
Burnett will allow the motion, in which
event it is probable that an appeal will be
taken.

oBJRcFs OF THE PAMPHLET.

Superintendent Holm is busily engaged in
preparing the copy for 1000 edition of a
pamphlet devoted to educational matters
1t is Mr.. Holm's intention to place a copy
Of the pamphlet in the home of every pupil
residing in the county. Ordinarily the work
would be paid for by the county, but Mr..
Holm has hit on plan to relieve the tax
payers of this burden that is indeed com.
mendable. Owing to its general distribution
throghout the county, the pamphlet will
prove one of the most valuable advertising
mediums ever presented to the business men
of this city. Mr.. Holm hopes to secure
sufficient advertising TO defray the expense
incurred in getting out the publication.
Briefly, the objects Of the pamphlet are:
LIST. to show the necessity for more uni.
form and systematic effort on the part oI
pupils, patrons, teachers and school officers
2nd, to show some of the merits of a course
of study.
3rd, to advocate the adoption of the
graded course of study now in the hands o.
the teachers of this county.
4kh, discussion of the duties of schoo
officers.
5th, the publication of scheme for tn,
local spring institutes to be held in th'
month of May.
9th, discussion of the general attitude
of the public toward common school edu-
cation, ,discouragements and ndencouragemsnts
Every business house in the county shoule
have an ad. in this publication. Beside
securing valuable advertising space at yer.
low rates, those who assist Mr.. Holm in tn
work will be contributing their dollars to

Poor Indeed

The prospect of relief from drastic cathar-
tics for persons troubled with constipation is
poor indeed. True they act upon the bowels,
but this they do with violence, and their
operation tends to weaken the intestines,
and is prejudicial to the stomach. Hostet-
ter's Stomach Bitters is an effectual laxative
but it neither gripes nor enfeebles. Furth-
ermore, it promotes digestion and regular
action of the liver and the kidneys. It is an
efficient barrier against and remedy for
malarial complaints and rheumatism, and is
Of great benefit to the weak, nervous and
aged. As medicinal stimulant it cannot
be surpassed. Physicians cordially recon-
mend it, and its professional Endorsement is
fully borne out by popular experience. APP
petite and sleep are both improved by this
agreeable invigorant and Alternative.

WHAT THE MOON SAW.

Last Thursday evening a number OF Cor
Wallis Odd Fellows and Rebekahs drove Quito
Phllomath to institute alodge of Rebekhas,
and thereby hangs tale. Among the turn
outs which rolled into the quiet little village
Of P, the most noticeable was one contain
ing two charming young ladies andStwo dis
tinguished looking men. One of these lat
ter had the appearance of being minister,
but it was whispered that he was scientist
with botanical procGvities. The other was
pure type of the schoolmaster, and despite
the dignifed expression which a huge pair
of spectacles lent to his countenance, q
roguish twinkle glistened In his eye.
As time wore On, the organization of the
lodge was effected, pleasant tine was
spent and the party started for home. As
the blinking moon peered through the fitful
clouds, which skinned across the sky, she
beheld the schoolmaster Pratt(ling) gaily to
his partner, while the ministerial gentleman
cast shy glances at his lady, and listened to
the mischievious little frogs as they sang:
"Why Crr.r-aig! Why Cr-r-r.aig" and gig
gled at his discontinue. A cloud drifted
by and the scene was hidden. In moment
the haze again riftsd, and the spectacle
revealed took old Luna's breath: Perched
upon fence, by the roadside, sat oar two
heroines, while their brave escorts, looking
like two small floating islands in a sea of
mud, now stood gazing sorrowfully at one
trusty steed as he lay motionless in the road.
way, and now vainly endeavored to lift the
fore wheels of the vehicle out of fye-foot
hole with a two-foot reach. Anon the
maidens tired of their positions on the fence,
and as the god of day unbarred the gates OF
morning and stream of light flooded the
fields, they climbed down from their perch
and, with the assistance of the botanical
gentleman, plucked the choicest dandelions
that grew in the shallow places. To be
brief: Help arrived; the vehicle was right
ed; the steed resuscitated; maid and escort
took their places in the buggy, and the
journey home was commenced. Aside from
the discontinue and annoyance experienced
at the time, the ladies suffered none from
the exploit. The schoolmaster wishes us to
comment sditorially on the bsastly condi-
tion of the roads, and the professor of botany
is wearing out his voice explaining how his
best trousers came to be wrinkled clear up
to the knees, and where he got that cute
little cough
