An Attractive Lot Of Lion Coffee PreM-
inms In Allies Wooaward's window.
We frequently hear the claim, "some-
thing given for nothing" but do not
often see an actual demonstration of the
principle, like display of Lion Coffee
premiums now ON exhibition in Allen &
Woodward's display window.
Here are many valuable articles, all
given free for the lion-heads cut from the
Lion Coffee wrappers. These are not
cheap articles, but comprise clocks, um-
brellas, watches, gold rings and jewelry,
besides many things useful and orna-
mental in the household, or will be en-
joyed by the children. Lion coffee fully
deserves the popularity which it has
gained, because of its superior strength
and flavor.

Our Natal Day.

The greatest, grandest, most
glorious celebration of the anni-
versary of our national indepen-
dence will be held in Corvallis,
July 3rd and 4th. 1t is too early
yet for us to give the program
in detail, but a general outline
will show that it is to be full
three-ring performance, with side
shows and managerie. The prin.
cipal attractions for the third will
be fast and exciting horse racing
at Kiger's track, and theatrical
entertainment at the opera house
in the evening. ''What hap
pened to JONES' one of the most
successful farce comedies ever
written, will be given by the
company of amateurs who have
so creditably performed during
the past season, 'My Friend
From India" and "Sweet Law
ender."
The services of the Albany,
Dusty and Corvallis bands have
been secured. An attraction on
the Fourth will be the Highland
Brigade in national costume, in-
Producing the Scotch bagpipers
and HIGHLAND dances. This
troupe has been secured at great
expense. Hose races, by COM
peting teams from different sec
tions of the valley, two base ball
games, boat racing, bicycle rae
ing, foot racing, for large prizes,
will furnish entertainment on the
Fourth. The committee is in
correspondence with one of the
ablest orators of the state who will
deliver the address of the day.

WITHOUT WARNING.
While Visiting in Corvallis a Young Lady
Is Suddenly Called Home.

While Visiting in Corvallis a Young Lady
Is Suddenly Called Home.
One of the happiest young ladies
who attended the Junior Hop Fri.
day night was Miss Ella Rummelin.
She was visiting friends here and it
is thought that she intended to re-
main until after the commencement
exercises at the o A C, but Satur-
day morning cautiously worded
dispatch called her home. Later
it was learned that death had over
taken her father, Geo. P. Rumme-
lin, of Portland, while on a busi-
ness trip to New York city. Mr..
Rummelin has been for years en-
gagged in the furriers trade and his
sons were interested with him.
According to the reports he was
last seen alive on the Southfield,
. ferry-boat plying between the
boroughs Of Manhattan and Rich
roond. Later his body was re-
covered from those waters and the
throat was cut from ear to ear.
The first news of the tragedy was
given by a woman who was q pas
ssnger on the Southfeld on her
1890 a. IN. trip, June 16, from this
borough to Richmond. When the
boat reached the landing at st.
George, one OF the terminals of the
Baltimore l. Ohio Railroad, she
told one of the ferry officers that
she had seen wsll-dressed elderly
man, with q full dark beard, leap
over the rail FROM ths star-board
bow of the vessel. A peddler then
came forward and said that at about
the same time he had been gazing
upon the wake when he saw the
head of man rise to the foam
covered surface for few moments.
As the white face turEed up to the
sky he saw the CHASTITY wound in
th. throat, and saw that the waves
as they swept across the features
were deeply tinged with blood as
they broke and fell about them.
Others had seen the man upon tho
boat, but they had not seen him
go overheard, and the ferrymen,
busy at the hour with the rush OF
shopping travel to Manhattan,
would not believe that such thing
could have happened unobserved
by others, for on bright days these
boats carry many passengers. even
in the early morning hours, who 60
to take the eight-mile sail across
! the bay and back for the fresh air,
and after failing to get an explana-
ton from them as to why, if they
had seen such thing, they had
not raised a cry, the steamboat
men concluded that they were try
ing to perpetrate some hldeous hoax
and bade them begone.
There are two opinions held as
to the cause of death; one is that
he jumped overheard with suicidal
intent and that one of the paddle
| wheels struck him just So as to cut
his throat. The hands employed
on the boat state that there are
two dark passageways for teams
and that the awful deed could have
been perpetratsd by some murder
GUS fiend and the body slipped over
board.
The body was recovered while
still warm, by some fishermen.
| The remains will be shipped to
| Portland for intsrmsnt. Tho de-
ceased was highly respected, and a
wife, three sons and three daugh.
! ters survive him.

Bacca1anreate Exercises.

The baccalaureate sermon OF
the 31st annual commencement
of the Agricultural College was
| delivered last Sunday by DR.. H.
IL. Boardman in the college
| armory. The large auditorium
was filled, and the exercises
were interesting and appropri-
ate. The choir, faculty and
ministers of the various denomi-
| nations of this city occupied the
stage, which was artistically set
with potted plants. The music
was under the direction of Miss
Ellen Chamberlain.
| DR.. Boardman is president of
McMinnville college. The SUBJ
iect of his sermon was ''The Life
Luminous and he took as his
text: "The spirit of man is the
candle of the Lord" Proverbs
xx:27. He said in part:
"The greatest question for
human consideration is that of
mans. proper relation to God.
To be able to assume such re-
lation is the highest ambition of
every right-thinking man. Sol
omon had a philosophy of life at
once practical and profound.
The text is a sample of it. The
figure is simple one, but the
truth suggested is mighty.
God is the central fire of the
universe. He is the source of
light and life. Man, touched by
this divine FIRE, burns and glows
here in this world. He becomes
Gods candle. But that he is
capable of being ignited indicates
positive correspondence with
God. The candle burns because
| it is kindred in nature to the
flame. A stone may heat and
crack, but flames not. That
man is Gods candle indicates
kinship with Ged in his nature.
"Justice, love, mercy, are in
every spirit of man. These are
the relics of God in the soul.
They point to God. They make
it possible for man to be ignited
from God.
Freedom, intelligence, are in
every human life. These point
to personal God, without whom
personal man is unaccounted
for.
"Just as the spirit of man
becomes exalted, ennobled, cul-
tivated, educated, does it become
increasingly capable of shining
with God, the essential fame.
Thus man becomes more and
more the revelation of God.
Yet he never attains to such
character as to completely re-
veal God; at best but imper-
fectly.
"Here lies the true philosophy
of and reason for education.
Why develop mind, heart, body,
soul? That thus man may more
perfectly become the candle of
the Lord. 1t is low ideal,
which prompts one to secure per:
sonal culture, refinement, educa-
ton, for its own sake. These
are the means placed in our
hands for making these lives
candles of finest quality to glow
and shine with light for others.
This is the true ideal in educa-
tion-the bringing of man up so
far as possible to the divine posi-
ton which was his when God
launched him forth in his own
image. Such a life is ready to
be lighted and to burn with light
for the illumination of the world
which so much needs it."

Not Growing Fast.
From the Atlanta Journal.

In reply to all objections to our at
tempt to subiugate the FilipinOs, job
in which we have made very puny pro-
gress after more than years fighting
and the loss of thousands of American
lives, we are constantly told OF the i'm
mense commercial advantages which
the conquest of these islands would
give US.
1t is The growing conviction of ma
iority of the American people, we be-
lieye, that the war which we are wag-
ing upon a people who are fighting for
liberty as much as our fOrefatherS
fought for it in the American revolu-
ton is a prostitution of the cardins
principles OF our government, useless
and uniustifable sacrifice of the Ives
of American men and great wrong to
those who are attempting to assert
only their rights against our might.
The official returns for the four months
ended October Doth, show how poorly
based are our claims of the CONNER
cial value of the Philippines. During
the period the total imports OF the
Philippines were valued at Sc, 915,52l
Of this amount China is credited with
As per cent, Great Britain and the East
Indies about 25 per cent, Spain little
more than IL per cent, the United
States about per cent, and Germany
5 per cent. The increase of imports
from this country is only what would
have been caused by the presence in
the archipelago of some 10000 Ameri-
can soldiers if each of them should
have consumed $40 worth of our goods.
The probability is that We have lost
rather than gained in the Philippine
trade since we went into the subjuga-
ton business. The people of those
islands hate us so that they had rather
trade with anybody else. 1t is becom-
ing continually clearer that the policy
of imperialism and conquest will profit
US neither in honor nor gold.

GORMAN YIELDS TO BRYAN.
MARYLAND LEADER FIGHTS
BRYAN NO LONGER.
Rank and File Of the Party Tumb-
ling Over Each Other to Be
OH the NebrasNan'S Side.

A Baltimore press dispatch says;
1t was reported today in democratic
circles that German and other mana
gers of the regular organization have
given up the fight against the out'and-
out Bryan democrats. The managers
have found the sentiment all over the
state too strong for them
Business men and bankers opposed
an instructed delegation to the nation
al convention democratic working
men wanted a. straight-out, Instructed
Bryan delegation. and the Maryland
Democratic Association is confident OF
controlling the state convention for
Bryan.
1t is intimated, however, that Cor
man will try to effect compromise by
which the regular organization will
not oppose an instructed delegation TO
Kansas City, but will urge that the
resolutions adopted by the state con-
vention contain no Is to plank. He is
now directing his efforts to securing a
delegation that will stand for mod
flied plank on the currency question.
The fact has been forcibly brought
out that the rank and file of the party,
being convinced of the inevitable
nomination of Bryan, are tumbling
over each other to be on his side, so as
to be able to hold out their baskets
when the loaves and fishes are distrib-
uted in the event of Bryan'S election.

How often those words are on wo-
mans lips. They express to the utter
most the nerve racked condition of the
body, which makes life a daily martyr
dom.
If this condition had come suddenly
it would have been unbearable. But
the transition was gradual. A little
more strain each day on the nerves, A
little more drain each day of the vital
ity. Any woman would be glad to be
rid of such a condition. Every woman
tries to be rid of it. Thousands of
such women have been cured by DR..

entirely failed to cure.
