NOT OFFICES ENOUGH.
Unexpected Personal Sacrifices
Only Will Make Fusion
Possible.

Gentlemen at Washington, silver poll
ticians, have kindly arranged fusion
scheme for Oregon. They would give
the governor to the silver republicans,
senator to the democrats aud ore repre-.
sentative to the populists. The other Of
fcers are similarly parcelled out. Now
let some Que nomiEate Col. Hefer for the
eubernateria1 chair.
1t is hardly likely that this scheme
will be received with any degrees of EN-
thusiasm by the fusionists other than the
silver republicans. 1t gives the latter
too large slice of pie as compared with
their political strength.
A gentleman in Portland will, Eame
brought over from Ireland, "Clohessy," :"
or something similar, is the latest demo-
cratic candidate for governor. He has
the distinct advantage of being conpar-
! atively unknown.
On the republican side Marion county
is furnishing all interesting problem. She
can of course expect but one important
state Office, and she has Catch, Gear and
Lord.
IL all Iepublica calculations tie iIaE,e
of c. w. Fulton eaters. He has won the
:stecm of al republicans and by al his
strength is acknowledged. I.llv county
will present the name of Ii. X Kincaid
for secretary of STATE, and wii urge
Woedcock for circnit Judge. She is also
said to have a caadillte for district at
torney. Douglas county kas Crawford
for attorney general and Geo. NJ. Brown
for district attorney. Coos county has
the districts representation OIL the state
board of equalization, who will probably
desire reelection.
Benton and Lincoln Counties so far
have no candidates for any state Office
and Judge Hufford will have their active
endorsement for circuit judge. Lincoln
county republicans say that they ought to
| n,nle the joint senator this year, Benton
having both senator and representative
row. If Benton acceIes, which is not
likely, &. A. Bensall, the persistent
champion of Yaquina harber will be the
man.
The Toledo Leader is urging Ell. Bryan
as the fusion candidate for district 2ttor--
.ey. Mr. Bryan was supposed to be will
in. that the county judgeship come his
way, but it is said that the powers that he
figure it out otherwise, and the voice fronl
Li.co!n county is probably intended 10
attract Mr.. Bryan's attention to larger,
if more uncertain, field.
II could please must most of the pop
ulist: if A. L. McFadden should secure
the nomination for judge, but lie is not
OIL the slate as it is understood to &c
arranged.

>DECADENCE OF DRINK.
Virtue, Poverty and Athletics
Making Men More Tenn
peratc.

A gentleman remarked yesterday that
he observed seven men drinking at a
well-known Corvallis bar one afternoon,
and all of them took lemonade Or nin-
eral water. This surprised him and a
little more observation convinced him
that the Intoxicating drink habit is fast
dying out III Corvallis.
One proof of this is seen in the fact
that Corvallis has only five saloons now,
whereas few years ago we had eight
beverage resorts. AS the population Of
the town ha: aot decreased iii anything
like such ratio, if at all, as oae saloon
i'll those days had snsre business than all
five now do, it is quite plain that the av-
erag. local citizen has been growing
more temperate.
Oae cause for this may be found in the
'hard times" and the lessons that the
financial frost taught to many men.
They have discovered that il takes
monty TO buy bread and clothing as
we'll as beer and whiskey, and that it i:
very conveEient in 'closa tines to have
few do lars on iiand.
TheN, too, all tke temperance agita-
tion, c ii Templars lodge, the blue
ribbon leasus, the w. &. T. U. and kin
dred move& cAts, however derided, have
lasting aud growing effect. A spree is
no longer fashionable, and ever 1ndul-
gence nowadays is, happily, almost
wholly confued to those cases given up
as hopeless.
A noticeable feature i'll the modern
drink status is the sobriety anil, usually,
total abstinence OF young EACH. Youths
of IS, 20, Fl used to consume bser, keS
after keg, and wliskey was more regular
tllaa meals. Such sprees were of daily
occ renee and the candle burned far
iousl.t. The young fellows the Now,
while as apt in worldly learning, and as
co.nizen; of things that be, are inclined
10 scof IT the drinker as Il weakling.
This is the work of athletics. Temper.
aaee, education aad monetary consielera-
tions have not accomplished for sobriety
what football has.
1t would be unsafe to presume that the
decrease in drinking has been annihila-
tory. Tie saloons still S. | enough beer,
wine and wl,iskey, with cis sars and "soft
drinks" to pay S2,5oo a year ill liceAses,
| besides the stock, rent, interest and 9TH
er expenses. But the profits are n>t
great and o:ly close business manage,
III :nt enables the proprietor to extract d
surplus from his years trade. And
heavy drinking i: rarity. The saloons
of Corvallis are regarded as being more
i'll the light of social clubs than as the
tempter of Bachus.

Hypnotisnl.

Prof. fIolbrook has been entertaining
Corvallis. He has also been convincing
Corvallis. 1t MUST be acknowledged that
as far as he has been granted fair op-
portunity, he has coupletely demonstrated
the actuality of the queer skill that his
posters claim for him.
His mind reaIing trials were successful.
Blindfolded, he drove a carriage rapidly
through the streets, turning corners,
crosslag railroad tracks, holding in one
hand the reins, and grasping with the
other the hand of Jack Mayo, tie c. & E.
2. R, official, who occupied seat by his
side. Later in the day he rushed Mr..
Mayo through the streets, inding pin
that had been hidden in the lack rosnl
of business house.
OF course there were skeptics, who
limited at collision, trickerJ, etc, and
among this considerable nunlber,was Samp
Henderson, the we'll known capitalist.
He had ali argument with ex-Pestn,aster
Bob johnson on the subject Wednesday
morning, which ended with 1Ir. Hender-
son hiding his packet knife behind a
tombstone in Serafferd's marble shop.
He told no one as to its whereabouts. In
the afternoon, Bob introduced him to
Prof Holbrook, and in a few minutes the
professor was hurrying the capitalist along
secohd street, and before Samp could
realize it the knife was fonnd. He says
he is fully convinced! of the professors IS
ability, He knows his sa-,, rs % fake.
III his hypnotic tests, Ai'"''ay evening
his subjects we're as;-p,ical -! his pewer:
and he could Go "otliins with them.
Tuesday night, however, wki,e one or
two of the volunteer subjects were pros
ably pretending, ,i,ost Of the work bore
every appearance of being genuine and
those "put under the influence" declare
that there was nothing of sham about
it. Tie professor has this advantage over
some of his predecessors in this liae,
that he does not attempt to exc out the
attractiveness of his program by mixing
slight of hand tricks, etc, with genuine
work of his art.

Cuba that he had befor:.
Mr.. Irvine has happy knack in
choosing words and his verbal paintings
are full of beauty. He is a good reason

Sam Case in a Scrap.

The Eageue Register has the following
concerning Sam Case, known in Corval-
lis as tue ''hulnan phonograph":
"Last Saturday night some excitement
was caused by fight that occurred in
front of Coolidge's grocery about 1890
o'clock, between SaE, Case, the Eighth
street barber and Chinaman named
Toy. The facts learned from diffcreat
sources se,Hl to be as follows:
"Toy cazae to Eugene about month
ago, siacc which TINA he has been coll
Quoting gambling table in one of the
saloons here. Case became indebted to
Toy i'll the sum of $3.50. Saturday even-
ing Toy entered Cases barber shop and
demanded the money due him, but was
asked to wait till Monday. Waiting TN :
til case closed up for the night, Toy fol-
lowed him toward the Hotel Eugene and
continued his demand for the immediate
payment Of the SI.So. When only a
short distance from the hotel entrance,
the affair reached its climax, culmin ated
i'll free handed fight.
"Each party claims the other struck
the first blow. In the fracas knife was
used, resulting in painful manner to
the Chinaman, he receiving an ugly
cash, beginning high ell the forhead and
extending downward several inches.
Case declares he had 10 knife and that it
was knife i'll Toys hand that inflicted
the wound when the Cinnamon fell to
the sidewalk.
Gas soon as the Chinaman fell, Case
entered the hotel and retired to room
where llG was found under the bed a lit
tie later by Policeaian Croner, and
placed uhder arrest. An examination
was held before Justice Wheeler abOnt
II O'Clock that night and Case was
placed under $500 bonds, Chas Thomp-
son and E. J. Frazier, becoming his
sureties.
Cease carries the marks of blow on
his rig;lt cheek and a scratch on his
right haad, while the Chinaman's face
today looks worse t!.an though he had
played center rush against the Corvallis
football team, unless perchauce his head
had been used for the pigskia.
"A trial will be. held before Justice
Wheeler this evening""
