Recently the Times intimated tina
Judge Burnett might be fusion candi
date of the democrats and populists TO
the Office of associate justice of the su
preme court. Few persons were inclinet
to regard the matter at all seriously a
i first, but subsequent events indicate
strongly that such plan is really con
templated. With B. F. Hyland and thre'
Soap Creek populists, MIR. Burnett joine.
in the purchase of press for the loea
populist organ, soon to issue its initia
number, which fact together with tn,
| Times favorable mention of the matte
gives color to the rumor. Perhaps ths
Benton democracy has dispaired of sue

councils of both the democratic and pop.
ulist parties, and the Times suggestion
regarding Judge Burnett is intended as
the entering wedge.
Frank McFadden, the oldest son of
S. G. MeFadden, underwent difficult
and painful surgical operation Monday
morning of this week. Something over
six years ago, while hunting, the young
man was accidently shot. The charge
entered his foot Just back of the ankle
and produced very serious wound, and
for some time amputatiou of the member
seemed necessary. Fortunately, howev-
er, the foot was saved, but the wound
failed to heal. To determine the cause
of this trouble and if possible remedy it,
was the purpose of the recent operation.
Dr. H. S. Pernot had charge of the case
and was assisted by DIR. Frank Cauthorn,
of Portland. After placing the patient
under the influence of an anaesthetic,
an incision was made in the flesh and
two shots were found EMBEDDED in the
bone. These doubtless prevented the
wound from healing After they were
removed the bone was carefully scraped,
and the patient is getting along as well
as could be expected, with prospects that
the wound will soon lie completely
cured.
A Lane county boat thief, captured yes
terday near Albany, by Deputy Sheriff
Skipton, is in Sheriff Osburr's custody,
pending the arrival of the officers from
Eugene, who will probably arrive today
and take charge of the prisoner. The
prisoners name is Turk and he was ar
tedupon instructions received by Chief
of Police Wells from Constable T. D.
Lenton, of Eugene. While passing the
city i'll the boat early yesterday morning,
Turk was called ashore by Frank Will
Hanson, and admitted being in posses
sion of the stolen property. Chief Wells
took charge of the boat, but allowed Turk
to escape because he objected to being ar
rested without warrant. After waiting
an hour or two, Mr.. Wells notified Sheriff
Osburn of the circumstances, and the
latter Immediately sent his deputy, James
in search of the fleeing crini-
nal. When captured, Turk was walking
rapidly toward Albany, where he expect
ed boarding the northbound train for
Portland. In the hope of eluding the
officers, he had changed his clothes after
leaving this city, and presented an alto
gether different appearance when over
taken by the deputy sheriff than he did
when seen by Chief Wells. Turk was
armed with revolver and knife, but
offered no resistance when the officer in
vtted him to return with him to Corvallis.
The Lane county officials are highly
pleased with Turks arrest, as he is sup
posed to have had hand in several bur-
glaries committed in and around Eugene
iuring the past few months.
The Shakers have made great hit, Their
Digestive Cordial is said to be the most sue
,essful remedy for stomach troubles eyer
introduced. Immediately relieves all pain
and distress after eating, builds up the feeble
system and makes the weak strong. Tbs
TACT is, foods properly digested are better
han so-ealled tonics. The Cordial not only
contains food already digested, but is a diges-
.er of other foods. Food that is not digested
1oes more harm than good. People WHO
use the Cordial insure the digestion of what
'ood they eat and in this way get the benefit
of it and grow strong. The little pamphlets
which the Shakers have sent druggists for
,ree distribution, contain much interesting
on the subject Of dyspepsia.
LAxoL is not mixture of drugs. 1t is
nothing but Castor Oil made pnlatable.
