Regular services at the Christian church
Lords day Aug. goth. Preaching by the
pastor, morning theme, 'The Teaching
of Jesus regarding the Kingdom" in the
evening, Distinctive Peculiarities of the
Christian Church." All are invited.
Miss Ida Maxwell, who attended the
OAC last year and who was appointed by
Gov. Geer as Oregon's representative at
the Dread Institute in Massachusetts,
has returned home. She graduated at
the eastern institution and received the
degree given the graduates of the house,
hold economy department.
Some remarkable specimens of wheat
and oats were left at this Office Monday.
They were taken from the fields of Mr..
VIM. Toole, ~ miles east of Corvallis,
the oats having been raised on piece of
beaver dam land, IL acres of which
averaged 90 bushels to the acre. This
land which was little more than swamp
four years ago has been drained and re-
claimed by Mr.. Toole. The wheat was
raised on what had been an old orchard,
and averaged 72 bushels per acre.
The recent continued rains have
caused much anxiety among the farming
class of the community. The rain began
on Sunday and could scarcely have come
at worse time. This is the opinion of
the wheat men and hop growers of the
Tho fhrochnrc oil
drawn OH the fields, some of them had
begun work while the others were in
readiness to start up Monday morning.
The fall grain is all in the shock and
should the rains continue it will be
damaged by the rain. Thus far no
damage has resulted either in the hop
yards or wheat fields. and few days of
sunshine will put all in better shape
than ever. Spring wheat, that two
two weeks ago had but little prospect
whatever, is in fine condition, the grains
are much plumper, and the yield OF
spring wheat will be much more favor
able than was expected. Hop picking
will begin about the middle OF Septem-
bcr, about two weeks later than last year,
threshing will be detained nearly as long.
The weather people say the present
downpour is the wind up of the Porto
Rican storm, and that it is only a ques-
ton of little while till it will blow over.
1t is hoped anyway, that the rain will
cease soon for the good of everyone, for
when the farmer fails, it becomes abso-
lutely necessary for us all to quit buying
chewing gum.

history Writers and educators some.
times imagine they are doing their full
public duty because engaged in difusing
general intelligence and advancing the
education OF the masses of our citizens.
It is said that the safety and welfare of
the state, the perpetuity OF free institu-
tions, and especially OF government by
the people, are in the general intelligence
of its citizens. This is statement of
only one-half the truth. Intelligence in
a voter is essential to the preservation of
free institutions, but it must be intelli-
gent acting, not intelligent unlocking.
Intelligence and thoughtfulness alone
did not win glorious victory at Mala-
bon, but action, terrible and effective
action. Intelligence must be welded
and directed to the object to be accom-
plished. When Greece and Rome were
tottering to their fall, through all the
period of decay, there was more science,
more art, more literature, more eloquence
culture, refinement, wealth than in the
days of their greatness. The highest
poetic gifts will not make a great sur
geon. The most profound knowledge of
theology and in the intricacies of the
various creeds will not win great battles.
81 admire fighting soldier I defer
to him as my superior. How men OF
action dwarf men of words The pres
ent universal outburst OF enthusiasm
upon the return of the boys from the
PHILIPPINE islands proves that this feeling
is as universal as mankind The true
hero is kin to all humanity, His glori-
GUS deeds are the heritage of his race.
They shame the coward. They disarm
treachery, they nerve the arm of cour-
age, they inspire the soul of hero
ism in all lands ard in all ages.
Whatever we may think of war, it calls
out the best we breed and the highest
qualities of magnificent manhood. 1t is
action, grand, sublime, magnificent
action. What destroyer of shams
How towards and weaklings shrink TO
the rear and manliness steps to the
front! How it stirs the blood and ele-
Yates the national life! The grandest
thing humanity can do is to offer life for
others. This every member of the
Second Oregon has done, and some, alas,
have completed this great sacrifice. The
greatest treasure that any nation can
have is its heroes. In these the present
war has made Oregon more than rich.
Summers, Case, Thornton, Harrington,
O'Neal, High, Lions, Marshall, and
Smith are only few of the names that
Oregon Will hold more sacred than its
snow-capped mountains, fertile valleys
or magnificent rivers"

Perpetrator OF Numerous Murders
Found After Years of Search.
Lead, S. d., Nov. 10.-Twenty-four
years ago Joe Macarthur was a pros.
porous farmer living in the southern
part of Canada. Trouble arose be-
tween him and a neighbor and In re-
sisting arrest Macarthur shot and
killed an officer. Macarthur fed the
country and made good his escape to
Oregon, where he hired out as hand
for farmer, in the southern portion
of the state. Trouble arose between
employer and employe, and Macarthur
shot and instantly killed the farmer
His wife was next shot dead while try
ing to avenge the death Of her hus-
band, and the villain closed the trag-
edy by rushing into the farm house
and Draining the little 5-year-old son,
who witnessed the cruel killing OF
father and mother.
Macarthur next appeared in the
Black Hills on Little Spearfish creek
north of this city, and for fourteen
years he has led the life of miner and
prospector, being considered n peace
able man. A year ago citizen of this
city visited In Canada and there by
chance met II young lady who said
that her father had gone to some west
crh state, and that perhaps he might
be in the Black Hills. A description
followed Of Macarthur and the Lead

two common meu came to McArthur's
cabin and arrested him for the crime
committed in Oregon nearly quarter
of n century ago. His partner, Albert
Hall, who has bunked with him for
years, will be strong witness against
him. Night after night Macarthur has
gotten up from his bed and prayed
aloud to his maker TO be forgiven for
his sins. When asked what sin he had
committed he told Hall that years
ago he had accidentally killed man.
Macarthur has terrible temper and

He FOOLS THE CONFIDENCE MAN.
How q Guileless-Looking Travelling Man
Hoodwinks the Bunko Steerers.

There Is growing fashion gmong
travelling men to attach to their satchels
and valises those woll-known little
straps fastening to the handle Of the
baggage a small leather tag, into which
is slipped card bearing the owners
name. AS n traveller walks along the
street carrying his baggage thus tagged
it is often easy to read his name by
walking moment at his side and
glancing at the tag.
The confidence men and bunko steer
ers have not been slow to discover that
fact and they not infrequently in this
way learn the actual name of their in
tended victim without the assistance OF
the usual confederate, whose business Is
TO learn the victims name and place Of
residence.
| have friend who travels great
deal, but whose appearance of guileless
and child-like innocence attracts the
bunko man as sugar attracts lilies. he
has become accustomed to them now.
They never dupe him, but their atten-
tions sometimes annoy him.
He drifted into the city again not
long ago, and as he laid his satchel up-
on the hotel desk was surprised to see
that it bore one of the little leather tags
containing the card of "Mr. Jabez l..
| Simonds." Now Jabez l.. Simonds was
not my friends name. and laughingly
said to him: whats this meanp I'll
bet you've snapped baggage on the
train and have got some other fellows
satchel."
My friend smiled, winked slyly at
the hotel clerk, and said mysteriously
mo, haven't. That's my satchel, but
| it isn't my name. Come outside with
me after while and I'll show you how
it works, if we have my usual luck"
We went accordingly, and my friend
carried the satchel with him. He had
his "usual luck" and l saw how "it
worked" We had not walked three
blocks from the Grand Union hotel
when dapper little fellow came up be-
hind us. didn't notice that he even
glanced at that satchel, but he must
| have done so, of course. He walked up
briskly, as though to pass us, then.

bunko formula when my friend nudged
me and interrupted him
"Glad to see you, Johnnie" he said.
"My name isn't Jabez l.. Simonds, and
I'm not so green as look. just keep
that tag on my baggage for the sake oi
