diers and officers were guilty 81
everything and their standard Of
civilization was below that of the
Filipinos.
But this was false, and San
ders knew it. For after whin-
pering over the fate of 20, 900
Filipinos, he told how our troops
were opposed to the war in all
its aspects, and pointing to a
picture of Bryan, he exclaimed,
"And to a man they will sup.
port that peerless Nebraskan. !"
What! These robbers, highway
men, lecherous brutes, to cast
their lot with that embodiment
of purity! Gods forfend!
Not content with vil1ifying the
volunteers while they were in
service, Sanders made an unWar-
ranted attack upon General Sum-
mers because that gallant officer
recently published a call in the
Oregonian with the purpose of
forming a Mckinley and Roose-
welt marching club or something
of that nature, composed entirely
of members of the 2nd Oregon.
These boys are now all civilians
and only those who wished to re-
spond to the call needed to do so.
About all Sanders succeeded in
making out of the matter, was
the conviction of himself as a
prime mover in an attempt to
break up the meeting in a dis
manner.

To Purchase Oregon Reads.

Negotiations for the transfer Of
the Southern Pacific lines in
Oregon to the Northern Pacific
Railway Company have been on
for some time, says the Albany
Herald. They were interrupted
by the death of President Hunt
ington, of the Southern Pacific,
and affairs are in such a condi-
ton that no immediate results
are looked for. It is said, by
some, that the deal has been
practically abandoned as ilnpos-
slble of consunllnation under the
present circumstances. There is
reason to believe, however, that
the transaction will eventually
be carried through. The North
ern Pacifc's desire to secure the
Oregon line of tha Southern Pa
cifio is believed to be based on
the fact that it has great faith in
the Pacific Northwest, and
wishes to get as much of the
business as possible.
The Southern Pacific Com
pany has no proprietary interest
in the property of the Oregon &
California Railroad. It has a
lease of the property running "a
years from August I, 1893, at an
annual rental of $1,000. This
leaves the remaining term of the
lease Fl years from last August.
The lease may be modified Or
changed by the agreement of
both parties. The bonded in
debtedness, upon which interest
is guaranteed by the lessee, is
$40, o25, 900, and the capital
stock is $4,000, ,ooo-s12, ,ooo,-
900 preferred and 81, 900, 900
common. Besides these there
is a large sum Of outstanding
current liabilities. Until the
past year or two these lines have
lacked about $4,000 annually
of paying expenses.

The Albany Tent of the Macca-
bees had some special instruction
last night and invited the degree
team of the Corvallis lodge to come
over and assist in the work and
make the occasion a rally feature
for the opening Of the work for the
winter. The team accepted the in
vitation and about twenty members
of that city came over, headed by
state representative I. M. Hunter.
They had gotten fairly we'll started
and were getting into the mysteries
of Maccabeism when strange and
unfamiliar knocks were heard at
the outer deors.s The picket un.
locked the doQr and was over
powered by about fifty Lady Mac
cabees, each of whom was dressed
in strange and ghostly apparel,
consisting of sheets, pillow cases
and many other such Household
articles. The inner guard hearing
the commotion in the anti-hall
unloeked the door when he too was
overpowered, and the host Of
strangely clad ladies marched into
the hall and took complete possess
sion. The surprise was gotten up
on short notice, in faQt was thought
out and gotten up after the men
had met for work last night.-AI!

Thomas j. Denman.

The death of Mr.. Thomas +.
Denman occurred at his resi-
dence in this city of heart, fail
ure, at 6:3o a. IN. Saturday,
October 27, 1900. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
E. ]. Thompson at the family
residence at o'clock p. m. Sun
day, October 28, 1900. The re-
mains we're inferred in Crystal
Lake cemetery.
Thomas J. Deninan was born
| at Bristol, England, November
I, 1922, and at the time of his
death only lacked a few days of
being IS years of age. He left
England in 1857 and came to
the United States. After living
! in several cities he arrived at
Pittsburg, Pa, and was united
in wedleck with Miss Jane Glass
in 1864. After living there for
about year the couple moved
out to Kansas and remained there
until 1868, when they went to
Missouri. Here they remained
for four years, going to Nevada
in 1872. Mr.. Denman seems to
have had far West il view all
the time for lie left Nevada after
a few years and moved to Inde-
pendence, Oregon. This move
was in 1873, and he and his
family remained there until 188e,
when they moved to Corvallis,
where he has lived ever since.
Mr.. Denman was put at the
trada of brick and stone mason
at the age Of ten years and fol-
lowed this business with good
success until few years ago.
He was a good workman and
had worked on many memorable
structures. His health began to
fail about two years ago. Nearly |
a year ago he was stricken with
partial paralysis and was bed
fast for a period of four months. |
During last spring he rallied
sufficiently to be up and around
during the summer. However,
during all of this time he
was troubled more or less with
his heart. He was in about his
usual health until last Thursday
evening, when he was again
stricken with a chill, caused by
failure Of heart action, and from
this he never rallied.
During his final brief illness
everything that could in any
way relieve him was done, but
it was unavailing, and at dawn
Saturday morning he expired,
his wife, son, George, and daugh-
ter, Anna, being present at his
bedside.
Mr.. Denman had large cir
Gle Of friends who esteemed him
for his quiet, unassuming man
ner and his many .estimable
traits of character as a neighbor
and citizen. And, although
the day was raw and rainy,
the services at the residence,
Sunday, were attended by a
large circle of friends who were
present in honor to the memory
Of the deceased.

H.rdwl.k,. smnlI-Po1 scare.

The village Of Hardwick in Caledonia
county has had rather peculiar smallpox
scare this week. A. B. Thomas, a we'll
known lawyer, came home from Arizona
last week i'll with some eruptive disease
which was at first supposed to be small
pox. He had met great many people be.
fore his illness was known, and it was es-
timated that at least 100 had been tex
posed" Great excitement resulted, peo-
pie fed the town by the score, the schools
were closed, the granite sheds were shut
down, and the Memorial day celebration
was not held. Wrath against Mr.. Thomas
ran high because he had so recklessly laid
the town liable to such a dreadful vista
ton.
But on Wednesday morning the scene
changed. DR.. Hamilton of the state board
of health arrived in town the night before
and after careful examination of the case
that night and the next morning he pro-
nounced the disease chicken-pox. The ex-
odus Of frightened people was at its height
when this announcement was made. 1t
may be readily imagined that a great many
people felt relieved, and that as many more
felt decidedly foolish when they knew that
their panic was without any adequate
cause.
