A few days ago a party passed
along the street carrying an Alsea
salmon. Thomas Bell chanced 10
see the fish and asked where it was

getting to Marys river, but up to
date we have not heard of him
catching any salmon there.

Mr.. Miller, who came with him. Mr..
Waters asked me if had ever said that
he had received help from Portland dur
ing his campaign. Immediately, I
thought of my little dialogue with Mr..
Smith, and said "Why yes. Dick Smith
told you that. I'll tell you about it"
Mr.. Waters interrupted with the remark
that s'there were others present besides
Mr.. Smith," giving me the impression
that some one else was his informant. I
told him that was not aware that there
was anyone else present besides Mr..
Smith and those at my table. I then
told him of the incident at Hodes &
Halls and how it came about, substan-
TALLY as have related it above.
"That is dirty little ie," said he, re-
ferring to the story of his having received
support from Portland.
He then said something about my say
ing that he had worked for the saloon
vote and had joined the church for that
vote. told him, frankly, that had
said something of that nature. That
realized that it was not right, perhaps, to
question mans motives; that did not
absolutely know it to be true, and I was
sorry that had said it. He became very
abusive, and as he finished talking he
turned and walked several PAGES down
the Street. I still stood at the corner, as
Mr. Miller, having remained, began a
conversation. Mr.. Waters came back
within about twenty feet of where we
were standing, and understood him to
say, 'fIf hear any more of this, I'll at
tend to it.'' I told him that I had no
reason nor desire to repeat the matter.
AS soon as Mr.. Waters passed on, Mr..
Miller turned to me and became very
profuse in his .disavowa1 of any response
bility for what had just ranspired. He
assured me that he was taken as mnch
by surprise as had been, and that if he
had had the slightest suspicion of what
Mr.. Waters intended he would not have

STATE OF oREGoN. IS.
COUNTY OF BENTON.
IF. L. Miller, being frst duly sworn
.depose and say, that ON Wednesday,
June 20, 1900, V. E. Waters and were
standing on the walk in front of my store
in the City of Corvallis, Oregon, engaged
in general conversation; that said We.
Waters asked me to step up to the corner
with him (meaning the corner of the
block in front of the Drug Store OF Al
len & WoodwardD that I consented and
before we reached the said corner said
Waters called to Mr.. Geo. L. Paul Edi-
tor and publisher of the CORVALLIS GA
zErFE, who was then turning dowH the
side street toward the GAZETTE Office to
come hers George, I want to see you."
The conversation which then took place
between the said V. E. Waters and the
said Geo. L. Paul was to the best of my
rememb brance as follows:
Waters: I understand that you have
been saying that Glass & Prudhomme
put $500 into my campaign fund, and
that the bills of the Clerk with said firm
amounted to over 81 200 per year.
Paul: Well now I'll tell you how that
was, 1 know where you got your infor-
nation, let me explain.
Waters: Gnterrupting) Well You
said it?
Paul: Well now let me explain how
the matter came up.
Waters: Well go ahead.
Mr., Paul then proceeded to explain
that in a general conversation at Hodes
& Halls with Mr.. Dick Snithaud others
he had made some such remark.
Waters: You said that, You dirty
little liar.
Paul: Yes, yes, guess I did.
Waters: You said it knowing at the
time it was lie.
Paul: Yes.
Waters: You also said that I was
going into the Saloons by way OF the
back door for the Saloon vote and going
to Church on Sundays for the church
vote.
Paul: guess did make some such
statement.
Waters: You said just what I said
you did, didn't you, you dirty little lying
puppy, and knew 1t was lie when you
said it?
Paul: Yes, yes.
Waters: Paul there is but one word
in the English language that expresses
my estimation of you, and that is the
word ''little." You dirty little coate,npt-
ible liar, I don't want to talk to you.
Waters then turned and walked down
the street dozen PAGES or more, then
came back and said, "See here Paul,
do not want to hear of you talking any
more about me for if do, will attend
to you, you dirty, little, lying puppy"
Paul: I, I assure you sir shall say
nothing more, you'll hear nothing more
from me, Pm sorry. That when Mr..
Walters asked me to walk to the corner
with him was not aware that he intend
ed to speak to Mr.. Paul. We had been
in general conversation for about hall
hour and during that time Mr.. Walters
had not mentioned or referred to Mr..
Paul in any manner. That Mr.. Paul
had previously offered to wager money
with me that Mr.. Waters had been visit
ing the Saloons in Corvallis recently.

Interesting Exhibition and Talk by
Bernarr Macf IN.
At the National Theater last evening an
audience of fair proportions assembled to
narr Macfadden. who gave a very interest
ing talk on the principles of physical de-
velopment and the way to maintain
strength and beauty when once acquired.
Mr.. Macfadden is an interesting speaker.
and his remarks and exhibitions were
highly appreciated.
Last nights physical culture carnival
program was not. however, confined to Mr..
Macfadden's talk and posings. There were
several other interesting features. Miss
Zoe Martin, a young woman OF remarkable
agility and strength. gave an entertaining
and instructive exhibition of body-build-
ing calisthenics. Mr. Macfadden appeared
in a series OF classical poses. and showed
to advantage his remarkably well-devel
oped muscles.
Miss Helen Wise contributed some very
graceful Grecian poses. which were great
ly admired and Harry McCord. an admir-
ably developed young man. who. it is said.
has been transformed in one year from a
puny figure TO the fine specimen of man
hood he now is, gave an interesting series
of exercises.
Miss Walse and Miss Martin engaged in
a hand wrestling bout. and Beatrice Mar
shall. an artists model. possessing n
graceful figure, was seen in classical and
artistic poses.
matinee for women only will be given
at the National by Mr.. Macfadden this af-
tcrnoon. Another interesting as well as
program will be offered to-
might.

view which have attempted to give to-

That History May Not Be Falsifed.
Il repeat, Mr.. President, that l have
considered ii my duty TO make this state
ment in order that history may not be
falsified in order that the men who were
said TO have refused this offer at the
hands OF Mr.. Lincoln should not be made
TO sin in their graves, for If they had re-
fused what was said to have been ten
dered to them by the President of the
United States, they would have been ac-
cessory to the murder OF every man who
fell from that time in defense OF the
Confederate cause, and they would have
given the lie TO the intentions which they
professed when they risked everything,
everything that is held dear amongst men.
In defense Of the Confederate cause.
