o'RE1LLY AND THE DUKD.

Once there was a millionaire named O'Reilly. who had a servant girl work ing for him also named O'Reilly.
 O'Reilly disliked fortune hunters, so when one came to town-a duke from England-O'Reilly immediately invited the penniless man to his home.
 "Pleased to meet you, duke," said OReilly. "Let me introduce you to Miss O'Reilly.''
 The duke, and Miss O'Reilly, who was dressed for the occasion. got along famously, Miss O'Reilly doing most of the listening Before two hours had passed the duke came out of the parlor, and said to Mir O'Reilly
 Margaret and I love each other de votedly. Will you give me her hand in marriageT'
 Certainly, duke," answered MT O'Reilly, gazing up at his cigar smoke. Margaret always longed for a title. Can send for clergyman and have the ceremony performed now"

On the request of the poStomce de- partment, and for the purpose of dis playing what kind of a. country 1t runs through, carrying a postal route, the passenger department of the Mrssourl Pacific railway and the Iron Mountain route has prepared q collection of loo pictures, themselves works of art, ana uniquely and handsomely framed, Tor exhibition at the Pan-American expo sition. which will open at Buffalo Ill May, in the government building. The collection is thus depicted in the word paint of the passenger department:
 ..rhiS collection embraces every con- ceivable phase of activity on either of these popular lines. There are repre- scented in the number of views of every character. from the quiet cattle scene of Arcadian simplicity to the internal activity of the Smelters and mines in the great mineral region on the lines of both roads, from the peaceful eX- iStence of the model farms which line these roads. to the rugged beauty and hardness of the Ozarks.

GREATEST OF LODESTONES.

"A deep hole of water in Nolynn creek. ten miles south of Fayetteville, Xiv has for some time been attracting attention by reason of the fact that it has very strong suction. For years says the Louisville Courier-Journal. it has been known as the "Suck- hole" It is abont ten feet deep and about fifty yards long. The water is clear and bottom can be easily seen. This hole has been watched by people in that section for a number of years. and it has also to some extent been avoided. It now develops that it is no stuck liole," but in the bottom of the river it is claimed there is a streak of powerful lodestOne.
 A man in that community recently constructed a large and substantial raft for the purpose of Investigating the causes of the suction of this par ticular part of the river. It was dis covered that the river bottom is solid rock. and that through the center of the rock running lengthwise, is a black streak. It is about five inches in width and runs the length of the hole. The streak was examined with a common fish gig. and was found to be very hard. The gig adhered to the stone, and it took no little pulling to extricate it. Further investigation was made. and it is said the streak following the bottom of the river Is undoubtedly powerful lodestone.
 This hole was discovered over forty years ago by Enoch Atteberry. who came near losing his life in the water having been rescued by two men who pulled him out by means of long pole. Lum Wess and Luther Trulock also came near losing their lives in the hole a short time ago while seining They were rescued half drowned by other members of the party. The at- traction was so powerful toward a chain on the bottom of the seine that | the seiners had to abandon it. The hole is not in the mean stream, but is on outlet.
 A dog thrown into the water never comes out. but is quickly drawn to the bottom. When a trout line Is stretched l across the place the unseen energy at l tracts the hooks to the black streak and there, holds them securely until they are drawn out. | At times there is a strong undercur- rent in the bayou, which is unaccount- ed for, and which often sweeps the bottom clean, relieving the lodestone of its collection.
 l The locality of the suck hole is get
 ting to be much dreaded one. es- pecially by the superstitious. It is
 known to all negroes as the "death hole" and farmers in that section find it difficult to employ negro help. Many cattle and hogs have been lost.

President Hadley was not talking
 through his hat when he said the
 White House would in the near future
 be occupied by an emperor. IL is
 plain to be seen that things are drift
 ing to a point where the dominant
 party. the party of the rich. intend to
 ride rough shad over their poorer
 neighbors. There is only one end ill
 sight and that is sure to come unless
 the plain people put representatives
 forward who can cope with the pow
 erful trusts and monopolists that are
 now running things. How will it all
 end? asks one writer. One need not
 be endowed with the gift of prophecy
 to undertake to answer confidently
 this question. IT you saw a gang of
 laborers busily engaged tearing ava,
 the foundations of house which had
 on other props to sustain it you would
 be justified in predicting that the house would come tumbling to the
 ground in the course of time. The inn
 perialists at this moment are devoting all their energies to undermining the constitution upon which our gover::- ment is built and on which it depends for it's continuance as much as a house does on the foundations on which i, rests. II was but the other day tha |; congress in voting for what is known as the Spooner amendment struck a blow at the constitution by vesting the president with absolute power over the lives and fortunes of the inhabitants of the Philippines. The framers of the fundamental law of the land never l dreamt that congress would undertake 1 to convert q constitutional president | into an absolute ruler. That this radi- l cal departure has not attracted more attention than it has may be taken | as an indication of the country becom- 1 ing gradually accustomed to imperial 1 ism. A decade ago such legislation would have evoked q stirring indigna- l ton which would have swept the coun- 1 try from the Atlantic to the Pacific I Here we have an example of how the 1 republic can drift from it's moorings until it finds itself engulfed in the l waves of imperialism"

FRIDAY, MARCH %, 1901.

Congressman Gaines of Tennessee expresses the opinion that the condi- tions imposed upon Cuba were not in- tended to be accepted, but to goad the Cubans into doing something that would furnish an excuse for declaring them in revolt against American au- thority and for taking permanent pos session of the island. This is a seri- ous charge, but it was made openly.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mother and
grandmothers never thought Of
using anything else for indigestion
or bilioasness. Doctors were scarce
and they seldom heard of appen-
dicitis, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to cleanse out the system
and stop fermentation of uadi-
gested foed, regulate the action Of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and
ether aches. You only need few
doses of Green's August Flower, in
liquid form, to make yeu satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Get Green's Prize Alma

Report of Health Committee.

During the past few days the
undersigned in the capacity of
health committee of the city of
Corvallis, have made an inspec-
tion of the streets and alleys Of
the city, and find that from a
sanitary point of view, and from
consideration Of self respect and
progress, and from the spectacle
presented to strangers who may
think of locating here, Or who
may be passing through or visit
ing here, Corvallis requires a
thorough and general cleanup.
We find that numerous residents
conduct their kitchen water and
filth to the streets and alleys
where, not having connection
with sewers, it collects in quan-
tity, further stagnates, and be-
comes an ever present menace to
the health of the city. We find
that manure heaps of long stand
ing are maintained on lots and
in alleys, forever giving out
noisome and unhealthy oders.
We find that residents who wish
to give their: own premises an

A Juvenile Treubadour.

A week or ten days ago, Cor.
vallisites were entertained ON the
principal corners of Main street
by small boy in knickerbockers
stunning a banjo to accom-
pany his high treble voice.
That his efforts were highly
appreciated was evidenced by
the liberal contribution of dimes
and nickels he received. The
Eugene Register furnishes this
interesting bit of history con-
cerning him:
Although the lad halls from
Columbia county, Missouri, he
doesn't have to be shown. He
is a manly little fellew, and not
withstanding his tender age of
II summers, is an excellent per-
former on the banjo, violin and
piano. His voice is of excep-
tional range and power, and he
has quite a repertoire of droll
and catchy paredies and popular
melodies.
Quite little story of pathetic
heart interest and heroic self
sacrifice oenters around this lit
tie fellow. While he performs
with seemingly happy mien and
entertaius with rollieking song
the careless throngs of the street,
his mother and two younger
children in downtown lodging
house are bending with tender
care over the wan and wasted
of a husband and father in form
the last stages of consumption.
The burden of providing the
hapless family with transporta-
tion and life's necessities rests
upon the shoulders of this youth
full prodigy, who seems equal to
the task, for in the search of a
more congenial climate for the
invalid the fafnily's itinerary
has extended from Texas up
north through the Western
States, and lastly into Oregon.
While other LADS of his age are
roaming the streets and violating
the curfew ordinance, this man
ly little lad, who provides for a
whole family from his scanty
earnings, pursues the even ten.
or of his way unconscious of the
fact that he is one of natures
in embrvo.

Some youngsters with proclivi-
ties for mischief and capacity to de-
stroy have amused themselves by
etching their initials in the stone
railing to the steps at the front en-
trance to the court house. The
officials are much aggravated, and
in the event of a repetition Of this
offense, arrests will undoubtedly
follow.
Sol Lands, Of Albany, was in
Corvallis this week, and while in
conversation with ". G. Lane, dis
covered that they had been school
mates together in Indiana. Both
saw service in the civil war, and in

tracted in the army, Lands called
to visit him. From that time un.
til this week neither knew anything
of the whereabouts Of the ether.

You will waste time if you undertake
to cure indigestion or dyspepsia by starry.
ing yourself. That only makes it worse
when you do eat heartily. You always
need plenty OF good food properly digss-

suit of years of scientific research for
something that would digest not only
some elements of food but every kind.
And it is the one remedy that will do it.
