A Local Hofd.Up.

Corvallis has had a.real live ''hold-up.'
Other towns throughout the valley haye
been experiencing these little unpleasant
nesses, but until Wednesday evening
last this city was not in the fashion.
About $50 O'Clock on the night in ques-
tion, two college students. Wills and
Rice, who live in Jobs addition were
coming up Ninth street and had reached
a point midway between Jackson and
Adams. when two bold highway-men,
with masked faces, pointed revolvers at
them. They complied readily with the
request to hold up their hands, and were
relieved of a gold watch and some money
Upon alarm being given, search was
made for the robbers, but to no purpose.
An extra police force has been put on
and any repetition of Wednesday nights
work is apt to be ticklish business.

That there was not q serious accident
and possibly drowning at the o. R. q
N. wharf last Friday morning as the
6 o'clock boat was leaving the dock, was
due to the presence of mind and inn
mediate assistance of bystanders. At
th at honr, these winter morning, 1t 10
quite dark and the light from the boat
lamps is not the brightest. A chute runs
from the wharf to the level of the steam
er's de OK. the sides being perpendicular.
In this chute is laid the gang plank.
One of the passenger rs this morning was
woman, bearing in her arms babe
few moRths old. She was unattended.
Although relieved by fellow passengers OF
numerous bundles she still had several
packages to engage her attention. Un-
familiar with the surroundings, she did
not observe the open chute In front OF
her. Suddenly scream rang out, and
the startled passengers saw the mother
pitch forward in the chute falling heavily
on her child. The distance was only
three or four feet, but it was q miracle
that the infant was not killed. The
mother was helpless, and she and her
baby were slipping into the river. Tive
men jumped down and siezed her and
she was lifted to the wharf, still desper'
ately ciutching her child. Neither was
hurt. A railing should be built around
this place, and better light thro wn upon
the landing, or some day the papers will
have a fatal accident to chrozicle.

want to grow here. It has numerous
strong points; in flavor and handsome
appearance, when properably cured, it
can not be excelled. In point of size
when well cultivated. it is just about
right. But it is too uncertain in yield
it has too many off years, too many
things affect it. AS I heard one grower
express it. Tt is too blamed cranky.
The tree itself is tender; there has been
considerable loss of trees every winter,
and last winter the loss was very heavy.
We will want to grow Italian prunes for
a long time to come, it will be hard to
find prune to supersede it. In fact L
don't think we want to displace it; it is
alright in its place, as the late prune.
What We want is to secure some prune
of equal or superior merit that will ripen
two to four weeks earlier than the Italian,
thus lengthening our drying season by
that much. Several new prunes have
been introduced at different times, some
of them giving considerable promise.
"The Pacific at one time bid fair to be
very popular, It is a large handsome
fruit, very fine for use fresh, but not very
satisfactory for drying. 1t is very sub
iject to brown rot. Clairae Mammoth, o

Which Grow Into Big Ones.

A little cold in the head Is trihc,
but IL neglected and it hangs on from
week to week ana gets into the throat
and lungs II is no longer trifle. 1t
is then no longer a slight cold but the
beginning OF chronic catarrh.
Do not make the mistake Of think
ing you have no catarrh because the
head and nose appear TO be clear
II there is cough, tickling In the
throat, hoarsenCss or a sense OF sop'
preston In the chest You have throat
and bronchial catarrh. If the appe.
tite is poor, nausea, gagging and dis
gust for food, especially In the morn
ing, you have catarrh OF the stom'
ach.
|, The surcst and snfest treatment for
every form of catarrh Is an Internal
remedy which acts especially on the
blood and mucous membranes.
Such a remedy Is the new catarrh
cure, sold everywhere by druggists

let's, n medicine in pleasant, conven'
lent tablet form and containing all
the best and latest specifies for ca
tarrh, whether located in nose, throat

Stunrt's CataIrh Tablets are COM
posed of Sanguinarla, Guaiacol, Red
Gum and similar antiseptics which
destroy the germs of catarrh In the

any form of catarrh and has seen The
uselessness of sprays, douches, and
powders win ever go back to them
after once trying so convenient
pleasant and harmless q remedy as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and one
which gives relief in so short time
Even in cases where catarrh has
effected the senses of smell and hear
ing, these tablets accomplish a cure
because the blood being cleansed OF

up the respiratory passages with ca
tarrhal secretlons.
