TERRY THE TERROR"
Put Joe Cans, the Negro Fighter,
 Out of the Business Quick.

Chicago, Dec. 13-Terry MeGov- ern is now the undisputed light weight champion of the world. He knocked out Joe Cans of Baltimore after two minutes and five seconds 0 fighting in the second round. Cans put up poor exhibition. and was never in 1t at any stage of the game. McGoYern started to rushing him at the sound of the gong, and never let up until Cans was counted out. Cans never delivered an effective blow during the fight, and for man of his reputation he made fight which will gain him no friends among lovers of true sport in the ring. George Siler, the veteran referee, who presided in the ring, said Cans put up poor fight.
 McGovern put up a clean, fast fight, and is entitled to all the credit of victory. He fought hard and fast, his blows went home straight to the mark, and if the fight is to be cried down at all, it is on account of the miserable showing made oy Cans. During the first round he never attempted to mix 1t. He never made au effort to use his left counter, for which he is so famous, and did nothing out back away with 8 scared look on hls face.

A large and select audience, in which were some of the leading soci- ety people of the city, witnessed the nerformanee of ssSaid Pasha' at the new opera house Thursday night. Too much cannot be said of the show. Notwithstanding the fact that the stage was not suffi- ciently large to enable proper pro duction Of that famous comic opera, the play was put on in full and very creditably presented. Miss Susie Kirwln is yet clever little actress and her acting is as vivacious as when she first took to the stage. As "Serena" she was a favorite with the audience. All deserve special mention. The chorus is. very fne and we'll trained. The drills have a magnificent effect. Messrs. MuzzY and Kohnle as "Hada' and sNokey" compose one half of the show. Their work is quick and modern and as a comedy team are hard to beat. The show is certainly deserving of a big business here and there is no doubt but what the company will get it. Tonight "The Grand Duchesse' will be the bill A matinee Saturday af ternoon and performance Saturday night will close Wilbur KirWin's en- gagement here,

PRINTS NOVEL OBITUARIES.
New Woodstock Gazette Presents 8
 New Feature.

NEW WOODSTOCK, N. J., Dec. 12- A unique thing in newspapers is the New Woodstock Gazette. It is pub lished once month. and pr. A. D. Smith is it's editor. The speciality of the paper is death notices. Whether the doctor, who edits them, naturally specializes in that direc- tion, or whether the obituary de- partment in journalism IS the only one not already overspecialized, is not explained, Here are two of the mortuary records from the last num- Der of the Gazette:
 "Mrs. Polly Conkling took her medicine like a lady, and without a murmur took the bus and lighted at the station where each one will find his or her place.
 Stafford Warner-sStaff, as every body has called him for more than fifty years, and possibly seventy fiye--has laid down his armor, which was an ax and hoe, and made a plunge. Whether he has stayed un- der or come to the surface of the dark river no one has dared to en- quire. Staff was a man of many streaks, and many of them were good. Oae thing IS certain, his dead body lies no lower than a Lin coin or Gladstone.

Peanut Butter.

According to prominent dealer, peanut butter Is rapidly becoming an important commercial product It Is made by grinding peanuts very fine and reducing the mass to paste, from which large part Of the oil is re- moved. A little salt Is then added. Many physicians recognize the nutri. tious value of this butter. It has all the wholesome qualities of nuts with gut being so indigestible Peanut but ter is excellent for the poor, too, for 1t contains quite as much nourishment as ordinary butter and Is much less expensive,

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

The supreme court of South Da- kota has handed down an opinion holding that criticism of a candidate for office by newspaper is nothing more or less than privileged con- munieation to the public.
 The supreme court of South Dako= ta is simply following in the foot steps of the older states that have long held that when man offers himself for office he places his con- duct. character and utteranees be- fore the public for its discussion and investigation, and if the publica. tions are based on truth and lack Of malice, no action against the writer or paper can lie.
 It is lttle surprising that at this late day the supreme court should be called upon to pass upon such a question. The intelligence of the average candidate for office in that section must be either very low, or he has been blessed with supera- bundanee of gall.
 Private individuals are entitled to the protection of law so long as their actions and utterances do not conflict with the public right. If they so act that they trend upon the peace or rights of others, they then place themselves at the mercy of criticism. What concerns the pub lie is privileged publication, and there is not a court in the land but what will so hold. To blazon forth a mans bad private character when he does not lntrude it upon his tel : lows, would be libel because he is not menace to the public veal. Courts have always made this dis tinction, and have upheld newspa- pers which have simply been inter- ested in the public good. and un- covered those who preyed upon the confidence of the people whatever walk of life they may be in.

SABLE ISLAND PONIES.
rheir Names Are in Some InstaHce
 Three Yards Long.


 Three Yards Long.
 The story of animal life on Sable island is strange. Roaming the sandy wastes are herds of wild ponies guard ed by 9as.larchal stallions, says Aims lees Magazine. These ponies resemble the horses on the sculptures of Nine- Feh, and approach the beholdeF seem- lngly out of the framework of antiqui- sy. They are stoeky and remarkable for their long names, which in in- Ftances have been known to grow to the length of three yards. These po- oies are the remnant of a stock thought 10 have been left by some PortuguesA PortingaIlsf the old rec ords Quaint1y call them-who touched at the islands on their fishing expedi- ton at even an earlier date than the Marquis de Ia Roche. At one time there were from 400 to 500 wild ponies on the island, but their number has been de- creased by exportation, the severity of the winters and, some people think. by the importation Of improved. do- nesticated stallions, which have made the stock less hardy and consequently more susceptible to death from expos- are. There are now between eighty and 100 wild ponies and about thirty for domestic use. Mounted on ponies. the life savers gallop over the dunes and among the hillocks on their long patrols, and the lifeboats are drawn to the scenes of shipwreck by teams of five ponies, three at the shaft, and two leaders. Some of the ponies are sent to Halifax every year or two. and are sold at auction at an average prica of from s15 to SIS.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years, Constant Use Without
 A Failure.

A Failure.
 The first indication of croup is hoarsness, and in a child subject to that disease it may be taken as sure sign of the approach of an at- tack. Following this hoarseness is il peculiar rough cough. If Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, It will prevent the attack. It Is used in many thousands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers We have yet to learn of single instance in which it has not proved effeetual No other preparation can show such record twenty-five years' constant use without failure.

THE GATES OF GIBRALTAR.
Interesting Ceremony of Locking Thew
 at Shutdown.

at Shutdown.
 Quite the favorite sight at Gibraltar IS the daily procession at sundown for the locking of the town gates. The keeper of the keys, looking very like prisoner despite his uniform, marches through the town in the center of a military guard, preceded by a regi- mental band, which plays inspiring Ca. miliar tunes. The keys, of enormous size, are borne aloft before him as an outward and visible emblem of the vigilance of Britain in guarding her prime military treasure. On arriving at the gates, the guards salute, the martial strains strike up with redou- bled peal of triumph, while the great doors e1owly swing to, and are solemn ly locked Tor the night. Then right about turn, ,and the procession marches back to the convent to deposit the keys in the governors keeping, conveying by its passage an assurance to the peo- pie and garrison that they may rest in peace, Once the gates are shut It were easier for a camel to pass through the eye of needle than for any unauthor- ized person to go into Gibraltar. Even belated officer returning from pig sticking beyond the lines would be con- fronted by so many formalities and the necessity of nconveniencing so high personages that he would probably prefer to encounter the discomfort of Spanish Inn without.

Rose Carnival.

The Opera House was well filled
Thursday night with people who
were interested in the rose carni-
val. The entire house was beauti-
fully decorated with choice loses.
On one side of the stage there was
flag and on the other shield,
both made of roses. In front of the
stage there was small arbor con-
structed of beautiful roses. Along
the south side of the Opera House
there was fence of laths covered
with ferns and evergreens in imita-
tion of a hedge. Behind this the
refreshments were retaited. On the
opposite side were placed all sam
Piles of fancy needle work, point
lace, battenberg work, ETC., some
rare samples were exhibited. The
first prize for choice roses was
awarded Mrs. N. B. Avery, and
Mrs. w. T. Wiles received prize
number 2. A nice literary and
musical program helped to make
the carnival one ofvrare merit. It
is generally thought that next year
it will be best to hold the carnival
earlier in the season, for, although
there was an abundance of rare and
beautiful roses on exhibition, had
it been a few weeks ago roses could
have been obtained with less effort.

A Creditab1e Affair.

The graduating exercises of the
city public schools took place at
the Opera House Friday evening.
There was quite a large class of
graduates and those who gave ora
tions acquitted themselves in
manner most creditable to them
selves and Prof. Pratt. Karl Stei-
wer was valedictorian and did ex-
ceedingly well, speaking distinctly
and understandingly at all times.
The Invocation was b. Rev. Noble
and the address to the class was
made by Rev. Boozer, both of which
were excellent. Victor Moses con-
tributed a trombone solo, accom-
panied by Miss Mamie Cauthorn;
Miss Lulu Spangler sang a solo,
and Ruthyn Turney rendered a
violin solo. Miss Edith Gibson
was the accompanist for the last
two numbers. The entire program
was very nicely given and was
highly appreciated by the large
audience. The graduating exer-
cises of schools and colleges are
always we'll attended by the citi-
zens of this city and on this occa-
sion the Opera House was packed
until there was hardly any stand
ing room.

nUR glove stock is the best

in this vicinity. because we make
constant effort to show a larger
line, and offer better glove values
than any other local dealer. It is
not easy to do a satisfactory kid
glove business. It requires long
experience, careful buying, con-
scientious selling and a wiling
ness to be content with small
profit. We recognize all these
requirements and conform to them.
That's why Corvallis women can
get better gloves here for the
price than elsewhere.

Died iii Jail.

A sudden death occurred IN the
county Jail at 1890 Friday night.
The deceased was known as Thos.
Murphy. He was incarcerated in
the county bastile about five weeks
ago for stealing coat and vest of
A. Baxter, a farmer living in the
north end of the county. Murphy
was awaiting the action of the No
vember term of court. The life of
Murphy is yelled and nothing was
known of him until he was appre-
hended by the sheriff on the charge
of theft. Since his incarceration
he has stated that he is native of
Pennsylvania, and that he followed
the business of professional cook.
He was not bad appearing man
and there was something about him
that suggested better days. He
was aged about 50 years. He first
complained of feeling ill Friday
morning and shortly after noon
Sheriff Richard summoned DR.. Alt
man to attend him. The doctor
attributed death to neuralgia of the
heart and did what he could for the
sufferer during the short time that
he survived after medical aid was
called. The remains were taken
to the morgue, from which place
they were buried in the Masonic
cemetery. Services were held at
8 o'clock Sunday morning and were
conducted by DR.. Thompson. It
is well TO state here that there is a
movement on foot to have a part vf
some cemetery set aside for the
burial of unknown citizens, that
they may not be inferred in the
potter's field.

A HOUSE-BREAKER.
A Revolver Causes His Hands To Be
Lifted for Mercy.

Constable Looney, of Monroe, ar
rived in Corvallis Saturday noon
and turned over to Sheriff Rickard
a prisoner giving his name as Fran
els Pryor. He was caught in the
act of housebreaking and given a
hearing before W. J. Kelly, justice
of the peace of Monroe, who bound
him over in the : sum of $400 to
appear at the November term of
court. He broke into the store OF
Adam Wilhelm at Monroe.
According to the information at
hand it seems that Bennett Will
helm has been running the Touring
mill the fore part of the night.
quitting at midnight. At the hour
of IL, Friday night he went off shift
as usual and went to the store
where he and another man slept.
Not feeling sleepy he concluded to
read for awhile, but was disturbed
by different noises. These dis
turbances he first attributed to
stock that might be at large, but it
finally dawned upon him that some
party was forcing an entrance to
the store. Securing a revolver and
taking a good position, Bennett
awaited the fellows entrance when
he bade him throw his hands up.
The request was hurliedly com
piled with and Francis Pryor found
himself a prisoner.
Francis Pryor is not Of prepos-
sessing appearance by any means.
He was fairly we'll dressed, but has
a decidedly tough look. He is of
medium size, dark complexioned
and about 80 years of age. Little
is known of him and he has only
been at Monroe for short time.
Pryor's personal effects would
not bring much if sold at auction
A razor, pocket comb, some chew
ing gum, one dice, two memoran-
dunn books, purse containing six
cents and several photos we're found
in his possession. Three of the
photographs are of young women;
one is the work of a photographer
of Waterloo, Iowa; another is issued
from photograph parlor in Pleas
ant Hill, Oregon. He also had w.
S. Tolnlinson's card and other val
uables. Throughout his memoran-
dunn books were notes that proved
him to be very systematic in
affairs of shady character. There
were addresses of people of various
sections of the United States; little
memorandums of conversations, etc.
The most incriminating thing in
his books was the following inser-
ton: 'Alone, with property val
ued at $4,000 to $50,00O." From
this it is impossible to form a favor
able impression of the man. It is
plain that his name was at one
time in the books and it is clearly
seen that it has been erased. This
does not look we'll.
