WHAT'S IN A NAME?
(3easolS Plaster is Pains MasEsr.

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Anes shoyels We're used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years.
The very name of Oliver Ames l. Son, was
a synonym for honesty. Il was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is ''good" plaster does
not describe it it is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as matter OF course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves AID
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have n, good
effect whatever. Coughs. colds lum',ago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, la he back.
etc, are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
AMI druggists have ccrnmended Benson's
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a
comparative test with other plasters. Ben
sons has received fifty fire highest aaoards.

A. STORY WITH X MoRAL.

There is an opportunity for mighty
 serious reelection on the danger in talk
 ing the law into ones own hands in the story of the young Miss Cropsey Of North Carolina. who so mysteriously
 disappeared I few weeks ago. The girl , had quarreled With inc man she had
 been engaged to. and. after he left her house. she stepped out of inc front door and that was the last known about her. The young man was apparently unnecessarily long ill reaching home. and this was taken as evidence that the lost time was giving 10 aiding ill ab- dncting her or to quietly dumping her into the water. The residents and neighbors made up their minds that he was involved, especially as he assumed m indifference about the affair. There was talk of lynching him. but finally It was decided To arrest him and bond
 him so that he could not run. Then dragging the river was confidently re- sumed Meanwhile our esteemed con- temporarieS, the great metropolitan dailies. Were crying on the people down there 10 look at that rope but on no ac- count to hang him with il. Still they said they feared it would be done. Now
 comes a dispatch from Durham. where the masculine tobacco. lives, that the girl and T young man have been ar- rested there and she is fully recog- nized.. If this is true. and there is nothing to hang the suspected and dis carded lover for. it must set some of the excitable North Carolinians to thinking how they would feel just now if they had decided not to waste time but to hang the youth at once. The law is safer than the quick judgment of the crowd. even if it is so much slow er H Hartford Courant.

The Newport Regatta.

Last summer the GAZETTE
contained an item suggesting the
advisability of holding a regatta
at Newport each year, and stated
that the idea had been advanced
by W. E. Yates. While the
matter was at first considered in
a more or less humorous vein,
the practieabi1ity and many ad-
vantages of the thing have be-
come so apparent after mature
consideration, that there is reason
to believe that within a few years
regatta, similar to the annual
event of this nature held at AS.
toria, will take place at Newport.
That the subject is being
seriously considered is evidenced
by challenge received this week
by Judge Yates from Mr.. Josiah
Gideon, of Elk City, for yacht
race on Yaquira Bay next year,
There is little doubt that this
and other matches will be ar
ranged between clubs in the va.
rious valley towns and the first
Newport regetta will be held
next summer.

Sensational and Untrue.

A report which was in circu-
lation about the streets this week
and found its way to the Orege.
nian, contains the sensationalin in
formation that Mr.. Mack Porter,
who resides eight miles south OF
this city, was held up by loae
highwayaan near bis home last
Frids-5evening and relieved Of
IS in cash and his silver watch.
Mr.. Porter was in Corvallis the
other day and seoa put to rest
this absurd story. He had not
been held-up, nor had he heard
of anyone else being. When an
ofense of SO serious a nature as
highway robbery is committed,
news of it, as a rule. is net slow
in reaching the sherif's office.
If that officer has no official
knowledge of a report of this
nature, the GAZETTE makes it a
practice to verify such items be-
fore publishing them.
