Warren Merchant, Of the firm of
Merchant & Co., of Portland, has
been in Corvallis and vicinity since
Monday. He was buying sheep for
the Nome trade, and succeeded in
securing two carloads, which were
shipped yesterday. In buying
stock for shipment the shipper
is always very careful to secure
only animals that are large and fat,
as the ocean carriers charge SO
much per head regardless of size.
So it is readily seen why only the
finest animals are desired for ship
ment over the seas.
A few days ago J. M. Cameron,
the popular harness maker, received
a Lands harness sewing machine
direct from the factory at ST. Louis,
Mo. 1t was shipped very hurriedly
and the paint was not yet dry on
it when it reached Corvallis. 1t is
very heavy, weighing in the neigh
bo. hood of 600 pounds. 1t will
stitch through leather varying in
thickness from a quarter of an inch
to an inch and quarter, and with
out any regraduating Of the ma.
chine. To see it work is to be as.
sured that it IS a great invention in
many respects, The work done is
superior to what can be done by
hand.

hotel there are Is deliveries day. He
may drop card in a post box at eight
in the morning, get an answer at noon
and mail reply which will get to his
friend before evening. Within the lasi
three years, whenever the post Office
bill has come up in the house Of repre-
sentatives, there has been discussion as
to the practicability Of the pneumatic
dispatch. One might as well discuss
the practicability Of the telephone.
They would smile at such suggestions
IN London OF Paris, where g. slight ad-
dition to the postage will secure rapid

other great convenience in the postal
system abroad is the method Of paying

r-ou IN. Re.o1ute,s Library.

A book taken from the library of the
British bark Resolute the day after the
Resolute was brought into'New London
harbor, December "a, 1855, has recent
ly been given to the Blackstone memo
rial library at Brantord, Conn. The
Resolute was one CT the three ships
sent out in 1850 by the British govern
ment in search Of Sir John Franklin.
In 1853 the ship was frozen fast in
Wellington channel and was aban-
doned. It drifted more than 1000 miles
in the pack ice and was found in 1858
by Capt. James Burlington, Of Groton.
BE was able to put it in order for a
voyage. release it from the ice and to
get it to New London. The book has
much interest as memento OF an
achievement that was widely celebra-
ted at the time, and generally consid-
cred to have reflected much credit
upon the Connecticut sailor for diff
ficult feat of seamanship.-N. Y. Post.

Killed His Family.

Wednesday night between III and II
o'clock Theodore Wallert, farmer li7-
ing near Arlington, Miss, killed his
wife and his two step children, a girl
16 and baby, and seriously wounded
his l9 year. old step son. He then set
IRE to the barns, destroying the stable
with nine horses, corn cribs and a fall
hay barn.
Three years ago Wal!ert married the
widow S1avrboTs, and for some time
they have been having trouble. The
wife has been trying to get a divorce
and keep Wallert from coming to the
farm. Wednesday morning, after prac-
tieiog in the woods Hith revolver, he
returned to the house ari entered oy

dently alarmed by the noise, aud she
was killed as she was leaving her bed.
TIE baby vas found dead on a lounge,

and has been brought to town. 1t is
feared he may die. Wallert fed TO

Y,}.re.tinr ola Churches.

Some Of the most interesting OLD
churches in the world are said to be
located in Yorkshire, England. At
Adel, for instance, there is probably
the one perfect Norman church in Eng
land, with its lions head on the door
for sanctuary. At Lastingham there
is the wonderful church founded by St.
Ceadda, which has hole in the aisle,
down which one descends to find ones
self in another church acting as the
foundation for the eddfce above. AT
Kirkdale stands the ancient church
built by Brand, the priest, which was
actually restored some years before
the conqueror set foot on British soil.
Among the ether numerous rarities In
churches which Yorkshire boasts may
be mentioned the Saxon frescoes on the
walls Of the aisle in the parish church
at Pickering.-Chicago Chronicle.

LAST OF THE CO-CAPITALS.
Rhode Island May Try to Do with One
Legislative City Only
Hereafter.

The electors OF Rhode Island, the last
the states of the country with two leg
islative capitals, are at the general No
yember election to vote upon consti-
tutional amendment abolishing New
port as a capital, and making thereaft-
er Providence the exclusive legislative
capital Of the state. Originally, most
curious provision for SO small state,
Rhode Island had five capitals-New-
port, South kingstown, East Green
wich, Bristol and Providence. In 1854,
however, the number was limited to
two by constitutional provision, New
port and Providence, and the date Of
the meeting Of the legislature was
fixed on the first Tuesday of May. In
til few years ago Connecticut also had
two capitals, Hartford and New Haven,
and the legislature met in these two
cities alternately untit the Joint cap
ital" plan was abandoned and Hartford
is now the only capital Of Connecticut.
With one capital it is practicable to
construct an appropriate state build
ing, whereas with two capitals an OBJ
stacle to It is found, and moreover the
uncertainty as to the permanence Of
capital is barrier to the establish
ment in a city Of the interests which
capital ordinarily attracts. By the
last census the population Of Provi-
dence was $4,000, while that Of New
port was but $4,000. Providence has
long been the commercial and political
capital of the state. It IS the chief
railroad terminus of the roads con-
Meeting various parts of Rhode Island;
it is on the mainland, and the reten-
tion of Newport, town of no political
Importance, as a capital can be de-
scribed only as an anachronism, which
Rhode Island will be the last Of the
states to do away with-provided, Of
course, that the constitutional amend.
ment submitted to the voters in No
vember receives the approval Of the
requisite three-dfths. Section 13, of the
Rhode Island constitution, provides
that the general assembly, as the legis-
lature of that state is called, may pro-
pose amendments to the constitution
II a majority Of the members elected
to each house approve, and if so, the
amendment in the form agreed to is
submitted to the voters and '.if ap-
proved by three-ffths of the electors
OF the state present and voting there
on in town and ward meeting" it be-
comes part of the constitution.
In proportion to its population New
port, with appraised property to the
value of s35,oOo,OOO to 100000 in
Providence, Is the richer city Of the
two, but it owes no part Of its pros
perity TO the capital and, will have no
reason for opposing the acceptance of
Providence as the official, as it has long
been the political, capital Of the state.

CASHIERED ENGLISH OFFICERS
They Find Employment for Thetr
Talents IN Central and South
America.

The Boer army is said to be full Of
cashiered foreign officers" said an old
revenue inspector, chatting at the Gus
tom house, relates the New Orleans
TimeslDemocrat, "and if such is the
case I would certainly hate to be in
that service. The cashiered officer,
particularly the cashiered British Of
fcer, is a nomad Of strange and Pc
culiar type, like unto nothing else on
the globe. In the course Of my wan
derings up and down I have met a good
many Of such unfortunates and they
resembled one another to degree that
was really startling. suppose the
common character of their disgrace
and the continual brooding along Sim
liar lines was responsible for the fam
ily likeness. At any rate they were all
morose, gloomy, fataistic and gener-
ally martinets. There are number Of
exiled Britishers in the Central and
South American service, and some Of
them are fine officers, technically speak
ing, but without exception they have
made themselves heartily disliked by
their associates.
There was formerly an Englishman
IN the Colombian army who had been a
captain at home and who was unques-
tionably a military genius. Nobody
knew his story and nobody asked any
questions. BE had charge Of the field
artillery and brought it up to very
high state Of efficiency, but he held
aloof from everyone and lived the life
OF a recluse. One day he was met on the
coast looking after consignment OF
fixed ammunition, when he happened
to encounter London mining expert
who had come over to make report
on some properties. Great heavens,
Charley exclaimed the Londoner,
where on earth did you drop from?
The captain turned white as ghost.
I don't know you, sir, he said, quietly;
you mistake me for somebody else,
and he walked of, leaving the other ap-
parently paralyzed with amazement.
I witnessed the little incident and al
ways believed some strange story
lurked behind 1t, About month
later the captain committed suicide By
shooting himself through the head"
