creant who fired the shot at our noble
president. 1t sees in you and those
like you, the leaders Of reckless
press, the forces which make such an
act possible. Behind the much-abused
license Of printing you have for years
been uttering, both by words and by
picture, that which you knew to be
lies of the most damnable blackness,
from the vantage ground Of your (cow-
ards) fort. This constant hell broth
Of vituperation and lies, spewed out
all over the land, has done its legiti-
mate work.
ignorant and fanatical Polish anar-
chist. to do a deed in which you, the
real assassin, gloat in your immoral
soul, but from which in your craven ter
ror you crouch like a frightened hare.
why don't you, II what you have
been saying for years, be true, repeat
1t now? If false, why do you not
have the manliness to admit that all
your utterances about the president
and vice president were conscious,
premeditated lies? All good men and
women in this nation denounce you
and your like as the real assassin who
fired the shot. I denounced you from
the pulpit yesterday and shall do so,
Supplementing your own conscience
with the testimony that you, to the
full extent Of your ability, are the
real assassin of President Mckinley.
Garry with yourself, day and night
everywhere. while you curse the earth
with your presence, the consciousness
that every honorable and virtuous man
and woman in our land that has had
the opportunity to know the facts
holds you and your like responsible
for this awful horror and loathe you,
not to the extent your conduct de-
serves. but to the reach Of their abil-
ity."

ARKANSAS sENATORsHIp.

Atlanta Journal: A spirited contest
for the senatorial chair now occupied
by James X. Jones, of Arkansas, is al
ready on, and promises to be one Of
the liveliest in the history Of that state.
Ex- Governor James P. Clark has al
ready come out as a candidate against
Senator Jones, though the election
will not occur until a year from next
January. But Governor Clark wants
to line up his forces in ample time so
that his friends may arrange to bring
out candidates for the legislature who
will support him for the senate. He
Is attacking the record of Senator
Jones both on his record in the senate
and as manager of the last two Demo-
cratic national campaigns. He charges
that Senator Jones, while attacking
trusts, is himself financially interested
In the round cotton bale trust, which
Governor Clark asserts is especially
inimical to the interests Of the farm
ers Of the south. He quotes the declar-
alton that this concern is a conspira-
cy, If not a trust. Governor Clark is
severe in his attacks upon Senator
Jones as a party manager, charging
that he has shown an appalling lack Of
ability and tact in both the campaigns
Of which he was the chief Democratic
director. Senator Jones has not so far
replied to the assaults of his oppo-
nent, but the newspapers which advo-
cate the senator's reelection are fight
ing earnestly for him. Governor Clark
Is considered in Arkansas a man Of
much ability and a very shrewd poll
tician. Senator Jones is serving his
third term and the opposition to him
is admitted to be stronger now than
it has been at any previous time since
his first election to the senate. The in
dications are that Governor Clark will
give him at least a very hard race.

conversation yesterday Mr.. Shields
said Roosevelt had started off we'll in
following the policy Of Mckinley and
retaining the old cabinet. He said he
didn't think that Roosevelt loved the
south as much as Mckinley. Mr..
Shields thinks that Roosevelt will be
a wise and determined officer and the
fact that the politicians didn't want
him was evidence that he would not
be ruled by them. Archdeacon Web
ber has in his sermons been OCCASION
ally referring pathetically to the great
ness and tenderness of both Mckinley
and Roosevelt. A United States flag,
draped in mourning, rests on the wall
behind the pulpit in the Y. M. c. A.
hall. DR.. Galloway is a personal ad-
mirer of the character of Mr.. McKin-
ley and has confidence in the ability
and honesty of Roosevelt and thinks
he will make a good president.

How HE MET Mr.. YAP.-"1 have eX-
perienced the most curious coincidence
the past year imaginable" said the
bachelor. II was taking that always
beautiful coaching trip from Cork to
the Lakes Of Killarney. Seated besile
me on the top of the coach was a fine
looking Englishman Of about so years
Of age. Learning that I was an Amer
lean he became much interested and
asked me numerous questions as to
our politics, social life, ETC., all most
intelligent and some rather hard to
answer. Suddenly we noticed coming
along the road the queerest old coun-
trymar imaginable. His antiquated
clothes and venerable hat drew from
me unconsciously the expression:
There's an old "yap" going to town, I
suppose. In New York the bunco
steerers would soon get hold Of him."
MY companion looked at me very
curiously and said: I beg your par
don, but what did you call that old
chap"
81 said he was a yap,'" I replied.
"'Will you kindly tell me what you
mean by a yap?' said my neighbor.
"'Oh, it's an American expression I
replied. 1t means an innocent coun-
tryman-a-a-a greeny, in fact,-a
jay The Englishman looked fixedly
at me moment, put his hand in his
pocket, pulled out his card case, and
gravely extracting his card, handed 1t
to me. Imagine my feelings! The
card was inscribed, "Mr Richard
Yap.'" New York Times.

A WARNING TO SHARPERs.-A coun-
tryman, being up in London, got into
conversation with a seedy-looking in
dividual in a tap room, and during the
conversation let drop the remark that
he would not mind giving half crown
to see a real London sharper.
We'll, keep it dark" said the other;
but I don't mind telling you that I
am one"
IF that's so,'' returned the country
man, then 1 suppose I'll ha' ia gle
thee alf CROWN" This he did with
the remark, But let's ha some o thee
tales"
Accordingly. the supposed sharper
related several good yarns and the
countryman, being much pleased. said:
"Well, thee must be a real London
sharper. Just thee gle me that half
crown back. I'll gle thee five shil-
lings."
Without hesitation the bogus sharper
returned the half-crown, holding out
his hand for the promised five shillings.
Whereupon, to his utter astonishment,
the countryman rose, pocketed his
half-crown, and made off, with the re-
mark:
"Thee must be a fule, or thee'd a
kept that 'alf-crown when thee 'ad it. )"

MIXED, BUT IN EARNEsT.-A Negro
recruit and the officer of the day figure
in the following little story from the
Philippines, written home by Ken.
lucky volunteer:
"a Negro recruit on outpost duty,
who had been filled with stories of the
Filipinos' torture Of captured Ameri-
can soldiers, had let his mind run on
them until his terror caused him to get
his orders for the day in pretty mess.
At midnight the officer Of the day went
the rounds. When he struck the
rocky he was challenged by scared
Negro.
Halt, dah; who's dat?'
"The answer was: Officer Of the
day
Again the sentry sung out, Halt,
dah; who's dat?'
THE officer then asked him, What
in Sand Hill was the matter? Why
didn't he know his orders? The Negro
said: I does know NAH orders.
"'Well, what are they?' asked the
officer, and to his surprise the answer
came back:
DE sargent done tole me to halt
you three times and den shoot you.
And with that he cooked his rife.
You should have seen that officer
sprint for a tree. From there he
used the only argument of any avail
with a coon. He cussed him so hard
that the Negro forgot all about shoot
ing him. Half an hour later the officer
was able to come out from his hiding
place and give his proper orders. -

THE REAL AssAssIN.-Since the as
sassination of President Mckinley,
there has been much elimination and
recrimnation in all parts Of the coun-
try. Some of it has probably been the
outgrowth Of political partizanship;
but much of it is based on honest judg-
ment. In this connection the follow
ing letter from Rev. DIR. Jacob Coop

New York Journal, is interesting:

One Of the most delightful
parties of the season was given
by Mr.. and Mrs Clarence Chip
man, Wednesday evening, being
the goth anniversary of their
marriage. The invited guests,
to the number of forty, assem-

conversation. At 9 o'clock, an
elegant Christmas dinner, which
was much enjoyed and thorough
ly discussed by all present. was
served~in the dining room which

them none but pleasant memor-
les, as we'll as the kindly wishes
of their host and hostess; and
leaving in their wake many
beautiful as well as useful
presents.

Let Us Beautify Corvallis.

We are of course deeply interested Ii
the prospect of having the Lewis and
Clark Exposition realized fact in our
midst in the near future, and quite right
it is that Oregon should share with other
widely separated sections OF our country
in the bene fits TO /, de iv d from this
world movement which turns the eyes
and thoughts of many people upon the
material prosperity OF the region where
these expesitions are held.
This exposition will evoke, as every
such venture must, wide and persistent
advertisement in which will be set forth
every possible inducement to break up
that self-satisfed equilibrium which
stays at home, and is content with the
''homely wits" which too much home
keeping engenders. Necessary as is this
measure, to awaken public interest,
through the interest of the pen, yet a
fatal blow would be given to the vitals of
progress if work in this great event did
not keep pace with the spirit of the
press.
Doubtless hundreds of visitors while
here will visit different sections of this
state, and Corvallis, being easy of access,
will have its share of sight-seers and
home-seekers. Let each one ask himself
then, what can do in the three years
that lie between the ''then' and ''now"
to improve and beautify my home tewn?
Corvallis has always been regarded as
unparalleled for situation, nesting as it
does in the green chalace made by encir-
cling hills, that bring rest and refresh
ment as we lift our eyes to their clear
beauty in the morning hours, or when
robed in the amber and opalescent hues
OF evening. Yet, with all that nature
has done for us, our town will lie like
dregs in this beautiful cup, unless we
choose by personal effort to fill it with
the sparkling hector of beauty, deep
draughts of which should daily be ours.
