THE COMING TERM
Court Meets Monday Week-Pearl
Cooper's Case-Other Criminal
Cases.


The circuit court of Benton coun
Ity convenes for the fall term a week
from next Monday. 1t is probable
that a preliminary term Nfor wind
ing up the business lett over, and to
facilitate the work of the new term
will be held the latter part Of next
week. The latter practice was es-
tablished by Judge Hamilton, and
has been found to be a source Of
much economy for taxpayers.
Up to the present, the criminal
docket is slim affair. A case left
over from year ago is that of the
State versus Pearl Cooper, lor car
rying a concealed weapon. Cooper
it will be remembered and several
chums from Independence and else
where, attended dance at Summit
While there, Cooper got into
trouble, and shot one of the Post
boys in the arm. He was tried for
| the ofense at the term Of court last
fall, but was not convicted. An. in
formation was at once lodged
against him and one Of his friends
for carrying concealed weapons.
The friend pleaded guilty, but
Cooper did not, and employed coun
sci to fight the case. Hearing was
also postponed until the spring
tern, but when the time came
Cooper was in hospital in Port
land, recovering from wounds sus-
tained at the hands of negro with
whom he had quarre1ed in a North
End saloon in Portland. 1t is
supposed that the case will be
heard at the coming term.
Another criminal case on the
docket is that of the State versus
Allen. for alleged sheep stealing.
Allen lives near Louis Southworth
on lower Alsea, not far from Wald-
port. He had purchased sheep in
Willamette Valley, and was driving
them through Alsea Valley to his
home. The charge is that in pas
sing an A1sea farm, he drove an
other mans sheep into his band,
and took it home with him. His
defense is that he purchased the
sheep of Benton county man.
Allen was arrested and had a pre-. /
liminary, and was bound over in
$3.50 bonds. While getting bonds
he was confined for two OF three
days in the Benton county Jail.
The third and last case is that |
of the State versus John Fierstein,
charged with larceny. The de-
fendant is a boy Of II or II years. |
It was at one time the purpose to
send him to the Reform school, |
but the programme was changed
and the case remains on the Grim
ina1 docket.

TO SHORTEN DISTANCE.
A Mile Between Corvallis and PHO
math, by Making Three Miles
New Road.

A proposition to shorten the dis
tance a mile or more by wagon road
between Corvallis and Philomath, is
pending before the county court.
It.cane up on petition from the
vicinity Of PhiIomath whichis mum
erolfsly signed. The proposed road
is to leave the east boundary ofIPhi1-
omath on G street, and rum east
ward to q connection with the
present Phi1onlath-Co road
to an intersection with the latter at
Thomas Cooper's residence where
the present road turns southwark.
The purpose is to eliminate the jog
TO the southwark near Cooper S,
and back to the northward as Phil
omath is approached.
The new section of road would
be from three to three and half
miles in length. It is claimed that
it would reduce the distance be-
tween Corvallis and Phi1omath to
about six miles. The plan has
been frequently agitated, but as far
asknown, has not hitherto been be-
fore the court.
Reasons are urged both for and
against the proposition. The short
eu1ng of the distance and the con-
sequent immense saving of time
and energy to travel between the
two points is the main reason for it.
The addition of three miles or more
Of new load to be kept up in dis
trict already served by two roads is
offered as objection to it.
Viewers have been appointed to
examine and report on the PROPOSE
ton. They are: John Rickard,
Joseph Edwards and S L Shedd.

DIDN'T LIKE HIM
And Said So-Didn't Expect to be Heard
But Was-A Soulful Scene.

It happened in a local barber
shop. A man in one of the chairs
was disguised with another man.
"Why that fellow is a low down
sneak" he said. 81 don't go cent
on him, and I never did," he went
On as the other fellow himself walk
ed in and took a seat
The man in the chair didn't see
him enter, and went on. "Why
he's hypocrite, and if he had a
wife, I'll bet he'd beat her if he
wasn't afraid OF her."
The barber nudged and whisper
cred but the talker was so busy
he couldn't comprehend. why
that fellow isn't half respectable,
and ought to be hung for his on
eriness. A friend pinched the
speaker On the legs and the dis
cussed man grew red in the face,
picking up a paper to hide the
flash of his own eyes and the fury
of his anger.
But even the pitches and the
nudges didn't make the speaker
understand, "Why that fellow
ought to be- For Gods sake,
shut up; he's in here" the barber
frantically whispered into his ear
Then all was silent, painfully and
powerfully silent. The man in the
chair lay like he was dead, and
the face behind the paper on the
other side of the room couldn't be
seen.
The clock licked, and the razor
rasped against stubby beard. Afellow
over in the corner lighted his pipe
and watched the smoke curl 1up and
float away. but he said nothing.
Nobody said anything. Silence
was the main thing there.
AS the barber finished the ta1ker
stepped out Of the chair, and
glanced over at the other fellow
The latter darted a fiery furnace
glance at him, but neither spoke.
There was nothing to say. It had
all been said.

NOTHING LIKE
Paine's Celery
Compound
FOR CLEANSING AND PURIFY
ING The BLOOD.
1t Removes the Germs Of Dis
ease, InvigOrateS and
RejuVenateS,

Thousands of men and women who
have neglected the work of physical
recuperation in the summer months,
are now carrying burden of disease.
In the majority of cases, impure and
poisoned blood and a sluggish circula-
ton are the direct causes of suffering
and misery. Are you, dear reader,
one of the unhappy victims? If so,
the life stream must be made pure,
the health wrecking laXity of the
blood vessels must be corrected, the
nerves and tissues must be nourished.
Paine's Celery Compound is the med
icine that physicians recommend for
the increase of pure blood in the the
arteries, and forhrOusing the purify
ing organs to cast off the impurities
that give rise to disease. Mr.. Jas. f.
Hudson, Spring Ridge, La, was a terri
bic sufferer from impure blood he tells
how he banished his troubles:
"From some cause my blood became
impure and resulted in boils and PIN
pies. At one time | suffered from
twenty seven boils. No one can inn
agine what | suffered. | tried sui
phur, sarsaparillas and other remedies,
but no relief came Mr.. Sebastian,
merchant whom | used to clerk for,
handed me one of your circulars and
insisted that | should use Paine IS
Celery Compound. After using two
or three bottles the boils We're not Sc
numerous nor as large. After using
the fifth bottle, was entirely cured,
and have been myself ever since"
