Thihk it Over.

Which is better, to buy your pianos
and organs of an agent who represents
the factories where they are made, or Of
one who only represents San Francisco
and Portland iebbing houses? Is it
werth while to pay an additional profit
to city middlemen for the sake of getting
goods which have passed through their
hands, with double freight charges
added to other needless costs? Would
net the best plan be to have all your
money count on the value Of the instru-
meat itself? We think 30, and for this
reason import all pianos and organs
direct from the factsry, depend on. quick
sales and small profits and thus give you
a high grade Instrument at moderate
price. All kinds of small instruments
such as guitars, violins, mandolins, etc.
Ca Il at office and residence one block
west of court house.

Additional Local

The case of Lee Dan VS.. City of
Corvallis, which was an appeal
from the decision rendered in the
police court Of the city a few months
ago, wherein Lee Dan was convicted
and fined 500 for keeping vicious
dog, came before Judge Burnett
Saturday morning and was denied.
The law requires that a fine to
exceed 500 shall be imposed before
an appeal can be made, and Lee
Dams fine was not in excess of 500.
Chief Flett called on Lee Saturday
afternoon, and as that gentleman
preferred to serve his fine out rath-
-er than pay it, he new languishes
in the city Jail.
A few years ago W. E. Yates, of
this city, was retained as attorney
for a gentleman by the name Of
Frank Belcher. Mr.. Belcher was a
mining man and joined the STAN
pede to the Klondike gold fields. He
died in Dawson a short time ago
supposed to have been murdered.
A couple of days ago Attorney
Yates received letter from S. G..
Whitmore, of Jermyn, Pa, enclosing
an inventory of some stock pertain
ing to Santiam mine, in which
Mr.. Belcher was interested. Mr..
Yates is now employed in straight
ening cut this matter.
Judge George H. Burnett opened
an adjourned term of circuit court
Friday afternoon and clesed it at!
II q. m. Saturday, in place of
Judge Hamilton, whe is unable to.
be here On account Of his wife's
illness. The regular term of the
circuit court should have opened
yesterday morning, but as Judge
Hamilton cannot preside, and Judge
Burnett is holding court at Tilla.
nook this week, Judge Cleland
came up on the West Side train
from Portland, yesterday. He
opened court and adjourned it un-
til next Monday, April 18th. So
brief was the last adjourned term
that Judge Oleland was enabled to
return to Portland on the same
train that brought him up.
At the regular term next week
Judge Burnett win preside.

Nearly Finished johnson.

Lionel A. johnson, wo graduated
from the o A G some two or three
years age, and is now editor of the
Malheur Gazette, published at Vale,
Or, was very nearly drowned at
the Natotorium recently, says the
Boise Statesman. 1t seems that,
while in in bathing with two young
lady friends, they all got beyond
their depth. Mr.. Johnson had in
duced the young ladies to go be-
yend the rope, and they all three
slipped and went under. This
scared the ladies, and they began
scrambling to get Into shallower
water. In some manner Mr.. John
son was again pushed under and
both ladies stepped on him. The
attendants at the Natatorium were
active when they saw the trouble,
bat knowing that Mr.. Johnson could
swim, paid but little attention to
him. The ladies were taken to
places of safety as soon as possible,
but they had in some manner unin.
tentionally kept Mr.. johnson under
water till he was nearly drowned.
AS soon as they had caught their
breath they called attention to the
absence Of the gentleman of the
party, and attendants instantly
hurried to his rescue. He had
sunk to the bottom Of the pool.
After much trouble he was taken
out of the water, and the work OF
resuscitation hastened. He was
unconscious and witnesses thought
he was dead. It took some min
utes to restore perfect respiration.
Happily there were no serious re-
suits from the mishap, Mr.. Johnson
being able to return to his home
shortly after.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine ia the
civilized world. Your mother and
grandmothers never thought Of
using anything else for indigestion
or biliousness. 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 undi-
gested food, 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
other aches. You only need few
doses of Green's August Flower, in
liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Get Green's Prize Alna-
nae.-Graham & Wertham.
