Cottage Grove Leader: We learn
that a school girl graduated in Eugene
read an advertisement in Chicago
paper, "Girl wanted TO sell baking pow
der. To any girl who will send us s.
for three dozen cans of our rapid selling
baking powder We will forward at once
beautiful safety" She sent the money
and by hustling around like house on
fire for three weeks she managed to un-
load the stuff. The safety" came in an
envelope, and was one OF those brass
pins, horse blanket size, like mamma
used to keep up onr style with.
I Rev. o. d, Taylor, of this city, was
arrested Saturday afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff Kelley on requisition from the
governor of the state Of Michigan, and
turned over immediately to Mr.. Parker
Owens, an officer OF Saginaw, Mich.
The crime alleged is obtaining money
under false pretenses, and undoubtedly
grew out OF the transactions of the
reverend gentleman in connection with
the sale OF the property in North Dalles,
Wash. He was placed in the county
Jail awaiting his return to Michigan.
The matter was kept very quiet until
the arrest was made, and Taylor was
placed behind the bars. They left Satur-
day night for Michigan. Noun

One of Mitchell's so-called business
men does not figure in our columns
this week. The Monitor will survive
this spiteful attempt to throttle it, even
after its would-be destroyer has been
forgotten in business circles. The man
who advertises in his local paper re-
ceives even more benefit than the pub
Usher OF the paper in which he adyer'
tises. "0f few days and full of trouble
is business that is not advertised in
the home paper. A business man who
does not ask for patronage through biz
home paper plainly shows that he does
not want the patronage Of the home pa
per's readers, and therefore he does moi
deserve it, and is sure to ''starve out
sooner or later. Monitor.
