Apples Helpful to the Brain.

German analysts say that the apple
contains a larger proportion of phosphur-
Gus than any other fruit or vegetable, and
that this PHOSPHORUS is admirably
adapted for renewing the essential ner-
vous matter of the brain and spinal cord.
Scandinavian tradition represents the APP
pie the food of the gods, who, when
they felt themselves growing old and
feeble, resorted to this fruit for renewing
their powers of mind and body. A modern
maxim teaches us. ''To eat an apple on
going to bed, the doctor will then beg his
bread

CORVALLIS, OREGON, Feb. rs, 1897
ENDED.

The display of anarchy at the
state capital is over. The de
cent element in the Legislature
should have gone home long ago.
1t has been evident for weeks
that there was no intention on
the part of the obstructionists to
organize. Though no demand
of theirs excused in any degree
their assault upon popular gov
ernnent, yet every demand has
been granted by those anxious to
do their duty, and still they have
refused to act as the constitution
directs.
The ambition of Bourne, the
hatred of Simon and Scott, the
greed of Kincaid and Lord,
caused the disgrace. Populistic
disregard of law and decency,
the itching palms of some men
elected as republicans, and the
credulous fund providing of Cor
bett have made the sacrifice of
the peoples interests complete.
There are some coinpensations.
Populisln has killed itself by a
premature exhibition of its dan
gerous disregard for established
institutions. Simon, the Orego-
nian, Corbett and the whole
crowd of anarchy breeders, who
have looted the people of the
state through their political ma
nipulations, can never again
fasten themselves upon the re-
publican party in Oregon. The
house cleaning in the party will
be complete.
The state has been disgraced;
the people have been looted and
outraged. Sleek officials will
fatten for two years more at the
public crib. The business af-
fairs of the state are in disorder.
The taxpayers pay for this and
pretty explanations will not sat-
isfy them.
It is we'll that the traitors no
longer faunt their infamy openly
in the face of the people. The
thing is over. Now for punish
mcnt and correction.

A SHAMELESS PREVARICATOR

Sanity's widow, whose career

grace, and who now spins cpl

ferring to the GAZETTE:
This, also, is lie, fabri-
Gated by the scrub and scroyle
who has uttered it, and who
goes about illustrating further his
own depravity by boasts of hav-
ing sought money recently un-
der promises to do certain things,
and having got the money, CIV
ing the man from whom he
sought and got it, the 'horse
laugh. ("
This is libel by "a liar who has
not ingenuity enough to be
plausible nor 1nanliness enough
to be direct. No one connected
with this paper has Sought
money recently under promises
to do certain things, and having
got the money, given the man
from whom he sought and got it,
the horse laugh. - Nor has
any one connected with this pa
per boasted of any such thing
or OF obtaining any money in
any way. No one connected
with this paper has cause to
blush for any action of his in
politics or business.
Floating rumor, 1nagnifed by
a sick Imagination, and made a
public accusation by a public
liar, will not be believed by peo-
pie whose opinions are worthy
of consideration.

''Hon. Samuel Hughes, Chair

Dear Sir: On and prior to Thurs
day, January IA, 1897, AZ of the
republican members of the legis-

jority of all members entitled to
seats in the two houses, signed a
call for a republican senatorial
caucus to meet in the hall of the
house OF representatives in Salem
on Thursday, January IA, at 7
O'Clock, p. m. The following is an
exact copy of such call:
1--WE, the undersigned republi-

tanning and perpetuating the or
ganization of the republican par
ty, and also its principles as enun-
ciated in its platform, as adopted
at the late republican convention
at st. Louis, and believing further
more, that in the selection of a
candidate for United States sena-
tor, such organization and its prin-
ciples will be best promoted by
adhering to the will of the major
ity, as openly and fairly expressed
in party caucus, do hereby agree,
sufficient number to elect con-
senting there to, that we will meet

after organization by the selec-
ton of presiding officer and two
secretaries, will, by viva voce
vote, as our names are called, ex-
press our preference for candidate
for United States senator, and we
hereby agree to support for United
States senator, by our vote in the

THE unusual number of fail.
ures at the recent quarterly ex-
animation augurs we'll for the
public schools of the state. E>x-
arninations of late have been al
together too lax, and, as a result,
a cheap lot of inexperienced
teachers have been turned out OH
the public, and capable, expert
enced educators have, in alto
gether too many instances, been
displaced to make room for them.
Scholarship and experience
should be the tests in the en-
ploy1nent of teachers-not mere
cheapness. The large number of
failures at the recent examination
IS healthy indication that the
standard in scholarship is to be
raised and that eventually other
lncompetents will be weeded
out.

JUDGE Porter's action in fin
ing the complaining witness in
a gambling case more heavily
than the others, was unusual,
but, perhaps, was real equity.
The inforlner was as guilty OF
gambling as the others, and a
fellow who gets others into
trouble because he was beaten in
trying to beat them, should not
be favored. He is not using the
machinery of the law for the
public good or for personal pro-
lection, but only for personal re-
venge. Vengeance is not the
object of the law.

THE republican party of Or
egon cannot afford to recognize
as republicans the men who
are responsible for the anarchial
conduct of those who refused to
do their duty as legislators-elect,
or those men who endorse such
conduct. The support of or op-
position to Senator Mitchell is
not test of republicanisln, but
the support or non-support of the
revolutionary methods used to
accomplish his defeat will be
made such a test. Decent re-
publicans can only support a de-
cent republican party.

DURING the year 1896 81, zoo
was disbursed among the farmers
of Linn county for milk supplied
to the Albany creamery. In ad-
dition, eight per cent. interest was
paid the Albany business men
Oh the money they furnished for
building and equipping the plant.
After paying interest charges and
expenses, the entire income of
the plant was distributed among
the farmers who furnished the
milk. They were we'll satisfied
with the results. If a creamery
can be successfully operated in
Albany, ten miles away, why
cannot a creamery be successfully
conducted at Corvallis?

control in the selection Of a speak
er of the house sof.representatiVes
and in the choosing of a United
States senator, deliberately refus-
ing to qualify and take their seats
in the house, and thereby intend
ing to prevent the presence of a
quorum, and absolutely blocking
the election of both speaker and
senator, and legislation as we'll.
Such a proceeding, whatever may
be the motive of those promoting
| it, tends strongly and inevitably
towards anarchy. It is a most
dangerous mepace, not only to the
integrity OF ssahe organization of
the republican party, but to the
very Existence of our government,
both state and national. It Is a
proceeding that should receive the
unqualified condemnation OF ev.
cry law abiding citizen of all po-
litical parties. Those who give it
their countenance CT support,
either directly or inferentially, of
whatever party affiliation, deserve
to be classed with the enemies of
law and order. To permit il to be
established as IL precedent would
be to sci in motion an element of
discord and disintesration that
will eventually sap The very foun-
daii II of our political insiilu-
tions.
In view, however, OF the pres
ente status of the United. States
senate, and as II will be after lhe>j
4th of March next, it is of the ut
most Importance that Oregon
SHOULD a. this time elect a senator,
This fact must be appreciated by
every true republican.

niteIy greater than any one man.
Its interests are paramount to
those of any one individual. 1t is

THE representatives elect who
refused to help organize the
house are responsible for the lack
of organization. The repre-
sentatives who took the oath of
office and tried every legal means
to perfect all organization are not
responsible for the failure to or
ganize. To say otherwise is to
deny the first principles of rea-
soning.

1u0 republican, SSUdtOTS aDOV0
named who did not sign the call
for caucus, nor participate therein,
have also so far declined to go in
to joint assembly for the purpose
of electing a United States sena-
tor. All the representatives of
the populist party and all OF the
representatives of the bimetalic
party have, also, as | am advised,
failed and refused to qualify and
have failed and refused to take
their seats in the house or in the
joint assembly. A combination,
therefore, exists between this
small minority ot republicans who
refused to be governed by the will
of the majority, and seven of
whom have failed and refused to
qualify. and the representatives OF
the populist party, and the bime-
tallic party, all of whom have
refused to qualify, the avowed
purpose, as | understand, being,
first, the election of Johnathan
Bourne, popullst, as speaker of
the house, and secondly, the de-
feat of your nominee for sena-
tor.
''The history of politics since the
beginning of the government
fails to furnish a parallel in any
state to the situation thus pre-
sented. The spectacle presented
is that of a minority, realising
their lack OF power to dictate and
