nrrn,k nr Llgntnlng eoo Times.

4 very singular record is attached to a deserted and ruined house at Dart moor. England. It was built by wealthy landowner, with the intention of making it his country residence; but before the building operations were completed heavy thunderstorm broke over Dartmoor, and the house was struck by lightning, the roof being dis mantled. The damage was repaired and the house quickly finished. No sooner did the owner take up his resi- dence in it than another violent storm struck the house and destroyed the chimney-stack, doing, besides, eonsids erable damage. This made the owner nervous, and he left the house. It was soon shown that his fears were not groundless, for in nearly every thunder storm that passed over the district the house has been struck, and a fresh portion of it destroyed. Altogether it has been struck over 200 times.

sound Advice to Sermon aIekers.

Rousseau's advice for the compost. tion of a love letter no preacher should follow in the composition OF bis ser mon: Begin without knowing what you are going to say, and ending with. out knowing what you have said" The sermon which is made after the Rous- seau pattern will merit nothing better than Cleopatra's sheer, "He words me. girls, he words me"
 No one is more certain to be impress. ed with the limitations of language than is the preacher. "A hindrapee to thought, though the necessary instru. ment of it." as Herbert Spencer saya.

4 Royal Imn-Keener.

The King of Wurtemburg may cer- tainly be said to be the only Knight of the Garter who is hotel-keeper as yell as monarch. This has long been ! tradition in his family, but not till lately was 1t discovered by the rulers of the beautiful little German Kingdom how profitable inn-keeping can be. come When Peter the Great was travelling incognito through Europe he refused to stop anywhere but at an inn. To circumyent this whim the then King of Wurtemburg put a tavern sign outside one of the royal palaces, and dressed as an inn-keeper, himself well comed the czar. This royal personage's descendant now owns two large hotels. from which he is said to derive a rev. snue of 212.000 year.

Ssh~ Salt Habit.

-The indignation which every woman .hows when she sees a widow and a widower making up to each other is generally intended as warning to her husband.
 There may be no marriage in heaven, but there certainly is no heaven in marriage.
 Women may learn lot about the neighbors from their hired girls, but the men go to the barber shop.
 1t takes al. woman's strength of mind not to hate another one at first sight whose chatelaine is prettier than hers.

School Supt. Denman, ever alive
to all matters pertaining to the
improvement of affairs in his de-
partment, has prepared circular
which will be sent to school clerks
of the various districts asking them
to send certified list of the names
of legal voters in their district
for the year beginning March 6,
1899. This is a very necessary
and important proceeding. Peti-
tions are constantly reaching the
superintendent asking him to alter
the boundaries of districts. The
law provides that where majority
of the legal voters of district sign
such a petition, it shall be the duty
of the superintendent to grant it.
By having a certified list of such
voters of each district on file in his
Office, the superintendent will be in
a position to know whether the
petitioners are entitled to consider
alton, and to act iutelligently in a
matter which vitality concerns
patrons of the district.

TO OUR READERS.

With this issue the UNION reach
es its subscribers as the sole rep
resentative of republican principles
in Benton county. The proprietors
of The Corvallis Gazette, believing
that the party and the public could
be rendered better service by a
consolidation of the interests and
influence of the two papers, have
retired from the field, leaving the
younger and more vigorous UNION
to carry on the contest, re-enforced
by the Gazette's support. The two
papers hereafter will appear under
the combined head UNIoN-GAzETTE,
and both will be under the control
and management of the former
Oregon Union Publishing Company.
Though less than two years old,
the UNION has come to be con-
sidered the best paper in Benton
county and its growth in influence
aud strength has encouraged and
surprised even it's most ardent
supporters. It's staunch and un-
swerving loyalty to republican
principles, and its fair and liberal
treatment of all matters discussed
in it's columns, have won it a host
of friends both inside and outside
of the party, and the confidence
and respect of the entire public.
The Gazette was established
thirty-six years ago and was one OF
the oldest papers in the state.
Many of it's readers had been SUBJ
scribers since it's first issue, and
they had come to respect 1t for its
age and the memories which linger-
ed round it. These will find in the
UNIoN-GAzETTE a purveyor of news
equal to the Gazette in its palmiest
days, and republican journal Of
integrity and honest purpose.
With the consolidation of the lists
Of the two papers the UN1oN-GA
zETTE will cover the field in Benton
county more thoroughly than has
any other paper. This means q
great strengthening of the party.
To advertisers, too, this announce
ment will be important for they
will be enabled to reach practically
every reader in Benton and Lincolr
counties, and that at a minimum
cost.
AS soon as the confusion Incl
dent to moving and enlarging tn,
capacity of our printing establish
ment lessons, we have some an
nouncements concerning improve
ments, etc., to make, that will be q
interest to the public.
Owing to some misunderstanding
on the part of the type founders
the heading of the UNION. GAzETTl
is not just what we wish it. 1t will
be replaced by one of more pleasin,
mechanical appearance.

Just the intimation that the leg

making an appropriation for build

an appropriation of $4,000 for the
relief Of a young woman who was
crippled for life as the result of
falling through rotten Linn county
bridge with buggy and team of
horses, that was economy-for Linn
county-and Justice satisfied.

oREGoNs FoR7IETH BIRTHDAY.

OIEGONS FOR1IEIH BIRTHDAY /.
Last Tuesday marked the fortieth
anniversary of Oregon's admission
into the sisterhood of states. AL
though born in troublous times
when the very foundation of the
nation was being shaken, and under
circumstances which placed stig-
ma on her name, she has since
been guilty of no act which would
tarnish her record nor sully her
fame. Yesterday Oregon was an
unknown land in the western
wilderness in whom even the
mighty Webster could see no
virtue; today no state he's bright
or future nor gives greater promise;
tomorrow her position will be pre-
eminent. Her vast territory, every
foot of which is capable of being
turned to account; her boundless
resources; her fortunate location;
her unsurpassed climate and her
promise of future greatness in civ
ilization, manufactures and trade
argue her the crowning jewel in the
union of states, and shed unfadine
luster upon that noble band Of
pioneers who won her from the
wilderness.

Highly Successful.

The Farmers Short Course which
was recently completed at the col
lege was by far the most successful
of any ever given before, both in
the number of attendance and the
work accomplished. The whole
number enrolled was lC2. Of these
24 were women ard 7S were men.
The occupations represented cover
ed nearly all in the catalogue, but
the farmers were largely in the
majority, 81 of the class being Of
that persuasion. Nineteen counties
were represented, and the states of
Washington and Minnesota a each
furnished student
The committee of the faculty
which had the matter in charge
has made the following report to
President Catch:
1--WE believe that the farmers
short course will result (D in a
greater dissemination of scientific
information touching industrial
life; (2( in giving the farmer and
the fruit grower the benefit Of the
most modern methods; (3) in in
spring the spirit of reading and
Investigation among the industrial
classes; and (4) in developing such
an appreciation of highly cultivated
gardens, orchards and fields, as
will stimulate improvement of the
home and surroundings, and make
rural life more elevating and en-
ljoyable.,
1--WE believe, also, that the farm
ers' short course is the only means
of reaching certain industrial class
es; hence, we recommend its con.
tinuance, and suggest that the next
session be of the same length as
this one, and that it close with the
fruit growers convention, which
will probably meet some time in
the early part of next February.
"We recommend that opportu-
nifty be given to fruit growers and
others interested to display at their
expense and risk such fruits and
apparatus at the college as will
illustrate the instruction given in
the coming farmers short course
lectures"
