Handy With HIS Knife.

Last Monday difficulty occurred
on Main Street, in front of Harris
son and Gillespie Bros. Store, be-
tween Jno. Henry Smith DIETER
known. as John Hen'O and Price
DonnelIy, in which the latter was
stabbed though not seriously, The
difficulty arose from some trivial
cause. John Hen is in Jail. And
this leads us to remark, that there is
"A crowd of boys constantly loaiing
near this corner who are continually
slapping each other, or striking with
sticks or boards, and even wrestling,
so as to make, it not only unpleasant
TO pass that corner, but such con
duct nearly always results in trouble.
In some such way as this the trouble
occurred between Price and John
Hen, We believe an order was pas.
sed by the Council some time ago
forbidding such loafing, but if so
the order has never been enforced

Thursday morning August 5th,
Mrs. l. B. Henkle, with her visit
ing friends, took a drive through
the mountains leading to the Alsea
valley. One is lifted toward higher
thought in the midst OF such seen
cry, abounding On all sides those
very tall, straight bodied, high
branched, monarchs of the forest,
the top of whlcA oftimes seems to
reach above the clouds, and who
stand as sentinels in their majesty
and beauty to guard and commune
with their ever faithful companions
of years, whose musical voice Is
heard summer and winter, day and
night, as it comes rolling and frol
licking down the mountain side,
singing song of good cheer to all
it meets or passes by, as it hurries
on to the valley to be the willing
servant of man, as it is directed by
him in different directions for the
purpose of assisting in agriculture.
With such surroundings comes the
awe inspired desire to be silently
alone, and we are taught as never
before, why our Savior was wont
to 80 aside into the mountains to
be strengthened and hold closer
communion with the Father. We
were awakened from our reverie
by the voice of ssIakie," out trusty
and "up-to date" driver, reminding
us that we had purpose to &C
complish and our time was up.
We were instructed to have Mrs
HenkIe taken for a drive early in
the day; it being her 63rd birthday
her i'm mediate family and some of
her many friends wished to ar
range a surprise for her by
taking possession of her home and
preparing sumptuous dinner dur,
ing her absence, and upon our re-
turn we were met by a number oI
temporary hostesses, who had

AS might have been expected
by all sensible people, the su-
preme court of Oregon has de-
cided that the state must pay for
the services and supplies furnish
ed under authority of the consti-
tuition and the statutes, aud
that the secretary of state must
audit claims and draw warrants
therefor. The only wonder is
that anyone could imagine that
the mere failure, of the legislature
to pass an appropriation bill could
affect the validity of these claims
or the duty of the secretary in
dealing with them. Mr.. KIN
caid's action in forcing this ques
ton into the courts, though un-
necessary, was not improper; but
his attempt to saddle upon the
state an expense of 5000 for attor-
ney's fees, is highly improper.
His employment of the lawyers
was not only a senseless extrava
gance; it was ala insult to the
capable attorney general, and to
the people who elected him.

by his death the community loses

members. Services were held at
the house on Sunday at p. M:
and the remains were inferred in
the Bellfountain cemetery. This
is the second death in this vicinity,
and in fact in this family, during
the summer, which has given
cause for especial sadness.
One day last week man from
Eugene, who was engaged in haul
ing freight from the Corvallis o.
G. & E. depot to the former city,
used a new method to secure a
few cents extra for labor at the
expense of other people. His
plan was to put on 1000 pounds of
merchandise at the depot, start
out ON the road and whenever an
extra heavy grade was reached,
ask some passing traveller to help
him up the hill. This was kept
up during the entire trip and
caused some annoyance to those
who helped him once and were
appealed to the second time for
aid. In fact the society for the
prevention of cruelty to. animals
should look up this same case.

The tests made 50 far by the users of

with degree of quickness heretofore

ailments.
Those who have used them have been
encouraged to persevere with the treat

in the sample box, Notwithstanding the
remarkable results obtained Sc far, would

is of imperceptible and insidious growth;
it takes months to develop even the
symptoms. Reason and experience sug-
gest that it takes more than few days
to cure. Fortunately, DR.. Hobbs Spara-

cure with the first dose. The results are
evident from the beginning. The de-
