Corvallis is to have great treat. The
wond erful singer and revivalist, Miller,
has been secured for one week only, be-
ginning February 2oth. Hundreds were
converted in Portland and Salem during
his stay in those cities. This is the op-
pertunity of life time. Mr.. Miller is
from Chicago aud 10000 have been con-
verted under him.
A. L. Clark, of Alsea, was in Corvallis
this week escorting his mother, wko was
on her way to Pullman, Wash, to visit
her daughter. Mrs. Clark is over II
years old and yet rode horseback from
Alsea, distance of rs miles, over very
bad roads, without being greatly fatig-
ued- Mr.. Charge is still staunch advo-
cate of free silver and favors union.

Wasted Eloquence.

The present Corvallis postmaster was
formerly editor of this paper. His de
generatioA was not brought about by
drink. 1t was politics. OF course edi-
tors have trials-somc IN the police
courts. They have to face the man who
is angry because his name is not men
toned and the maa who grows red-head-
ed because lie sees the name his father
gave him, i'll the local coluH,ns. He
fnds l:is choicest clipped editorials
quoted without credit. His bills payable
always exceed his halls receivable. The
editor has his worri-s, but the post
master discounts him for genuine mis-
cry, as the following from an exchange
will demonstrate, and ke who steps out
of the elitor's sanctum to atan1 behind
the delivery wi7dow in :; postoffice has
only taken a big step mearer the lake of
fire aud briHlstene:
A freckled facsd girl stoppe. at the
postofice and yelled out:
"Anything for the Murpl1ys:'
'No, there is uo..''
Anything for A III Muir olly?'
Nothing"
"Anythins for Jane Murphy"
NO."
"Auythins f.r Tom Murphy"
NO"
"Aaything for Fob Murphy?'
"No, not blt'
"Anything for Terry Murphy?'
"No, nor for Pat Murphy. nor Denny
Murphy, nor Pete Murphy, nor Paul
Murphy, nor for any Murphy-de I'd, liv
i.g, unborn, native or foreign, civilized
or uncivilized, savage or barbaruus, male
or female, black or white, franchised r
natnrallzeI or otherwise.
No, there is positively nothing Ter any
OF the Murphys, either ind. d.vidu.lly,
jointly, sseverally. now and forever, one
and lnseparable."
The girl looked at the postmaster i'll
and said "Please 10 look
if there is anything for Clarence Muir
phy?"

Political Drift.

Tbs political tide is coming in and all
sorts of drift will be left OH the banks
when it Gibbs again. The harbor of sue
cess has a narrow and circ cuitous entrance.
The antirepublican fusion i'll Benton
couEtr is apparently assured, and the
democrats will secure the principal off,
ces. But the fusion will MT be complete
as regards The voters. There are defne-
Gratis all over the coanty, who voted for
Bryan. but who will not support pepulo-
democratic ticket any more.
The democrats in the county are very
independent and cannot be iorcee! into
populism. Oa the other hand, there will
be strong poFulist protests when the slate
is seen.
Republican candidates are being dis
cuss.d. John Daily has his gaze anxious
1y fixed Oh the joints dictatorship and
some effort is being put forth on kis be-
halt. 1t is possible that there will be
other candidates. The name of S. l..
Kline has been heard in discussing the Of
flee of representative.
Orin L. Clark, a bright and steady
Young mai has been urged TO make the
race for clerk, and Elay conclude to do
20. He would make good officer and
would ruiz we'll. School Supt. Denman
and Recorder Gellatly have filled their
Offices SO acceptably that there will be no
opposition to their nomination. In fact,
opposition would lie idle effort. D. B.
Farley, Of Monroe. will be in the field
