viii Celebrate Anyway.

Today's celebration came near
being called off at a meeting of
the general committee, and as
many contributors to the celebra-
ton fund as could be gotten to-
gether, held at Small's store yes
terday morning at II O'Clock. 1t
was argued tie inclemency of the
weather would render it impos-
sible to give the program OF
sports, ETC., and that the parade
would have to be dispensed with.
But it was pointed out that ow-
ing to the 1ateness of the hour,
many who had made arrange
ments to come to this city to
spend the Fourth could not be
apprized Of the postponement,
and the committee felt un--
der obligations to provide the
best entertainment possible un-
der the circumstances. So the
celebration is a go.

A Worthy Citizen.

A friend sends the following
obituary notice of ]. H. Mason,
one of Alsea's most influential
and respected citizens who died
in that valley last month at the
age of 60 years and II days:
Mr.. Mason was born in Prebel
county, Ohio. He came to Ore
gon in 1855, and settled near
Marys river in this county. In
early life he was converted, and
united with the United Brethren
church, but afterward Joined the
Cumberland Presbyterian church
of which he was a member at the
time of his death. His life was
marked by deep devotion and
earnestness, winning the esteem
and affection of all around him.
Patient in his suffering, be
calmly passed to his rest Or
Thursday morning. He leaves
a widow, three sons and one
daughter to mourn his departure
The funeral services were con

will then have my government
to reckon with. What is more,
those gates will be forced open
and your city destroyed by the
incensed prisoners. You dare
not attempt to give me up to
that bowling mob.'' The prise
ners overheard all this and were
resolved to resist any such pro-
ceedings. Fear or better judg-
ment induced the officer to re-
lent. The colonel was placed in
a nearby tent and strongly guard
ed. After a few days of such
confinement he was returned to
the stockade. He was a marked
man, however, and dared not go
within twenty feet of the dead
line.
Although the most persistent
search was made for the little silk
flag it was never captured. It is
now proudly displayed by its
owner, Capt. H. H. Todd, pro-
prietor of the Park Hotel, Ala
media, CAL, one of the most ac-
tive and resolute participants in
the celebration, who would have
led the prisoners in avenging the
murder of their orator colonel.
Who was this orator? Our
own Gen. T. J. Thorp, who is
modest as brave.
To day an united people join
in celebrating the national birth
day, and none are more glad OF
it than the survivors of those
brave men who celebrated the
day in Macon prison thirty-eight
years ago.

Have Merit.

That graduates of o A c are
efficient and capable is proved by
the fact that they are sought at
ter and their qualifications nsrecog-
nized on all sides. Speaking OF
this matter, the Oregon Agricul- l.
turist says:
Either the students in the reg
ular agricultural course in the
Oregon Agricultural College av-
erage better men than those IN
other courses to start with, or the
course is the best developer OF
ability. Attention was called a
year ago by one of the professors
in that college to the fact tina,
the students in the agricultural
course take far more than thel1
PROPORTIONAL share of honors II
college affairs including those
controlled by the students them
selves as we'll as those under tn
direction of the faculty. Thl
appears to continue to be tn
fact. 1t is probable that tn
strictly agricultural students ar
more earnest and able to star
with, and also that the agricul
tural course is the best one, cor
sidered strictly from the stand
point of mental development.

"Don't Mind Me-"

R. B. Castle, son of John Cas-
tie, the cattleman, we'll known
in Corvallis, was the victim OF
an accident at a fire in Portland,
Sunday morning, which may
cost him his life. The Tele-
gram has the following account
of the accident:
The accident happened at the
fire which did $4,000 damage to
Povey Bros. glass factory, Sixth
and Davis streets. At 1870 Sun
day morning flames and smoke
were seen bursting from the rear
of the factory. An alarm was
turned in from box II, and
Chemical No. I, Second and
Oak, quickly responded, and
was the first engine to reach the
scene. Other engines were quick
to arrive, and the hremen were
soon busy. Fireman Castle and
a number of others were working
on the ground floor when the
second story floor crashed through
partly burying six of the hre.
men. When they had crawleo
to a place of safety Castle was
missing. He was found piled
beneath a lot of debris and pulled
out. His first words were:
"Don't mind me, save the
other fellows; Pm not nucf
hurt"

Note Changes.

Abe King recently returned
home from a trip through Lin
coin county. He went over to
have look at his place on Bea-
yer Creek. He owns a very
nice meadow or hay farm and
says that everything about the
place is in a very satisfactory
condition.
While over there Mr.. King
noted that there was an under
current of excitement or expecta-
ton over the rumor that the
Seal Rock property had been
purchased by number OF
Southern Pacific railroad men.
If this report be true, tits thought
that there is something in the
wind. This property consists OF
a hotel and quite a number OF
cottages. The hotel has not
been operated for several seasons
and is at present occupied by a
sheep herder.
An oil we'll is being bored on
the Frank Stanley place, couple
of miles above Toledo, between
there and the Siletz. The well
lis now down to a depth OF s35c
feet and the men are putting
tubing down in order to keep II
from caving. With the facilities
they possess for boring they will
be able to reach depth of 1,2oe
feet. But two men are required
to operate the drilling plant
They claim to have found tip-tol
indications of oil.
AS far as the various pleasure
resorts over there are concerned
! the season has not been very ia
vorable and but comparatlvei.
few p1easure-seekers have put II
their appearance yet. However
all in ali, the general outlook TO

Medical Experts Believe It Was Used
 to Decapitate Mrs Blondin.
 Boston, Dec 11.-Expert medical testimony occupied nearly the entire day at the Blondin trial yesterday. and as one result the jackknife which has figured more or less prominently in the case during the past week, has been finally included in governments evidence. Medical Examiner Harris completed his testimony yesterday and was followed by Medical Examiner Frank ", Draper, who gave general answers to hypothetical questions as to the cause Of Mrs Blondin's death, which he said was due to strangula- tion. The decapitation he did not be- lieve was done with an axe, instead he believed it was done with a knife.
 An examination of many articles submitted by the officers of the com Elonwealth was made by Professor Edward & Wood of Harvard univarsi- ty Professor Wood testified that as a result of this examination he had found blocdstains on two small pieces Of wall paper taken from the room at 43 Green street, on articles of clothing taken from trunk said to be the prop erty of Blon6in. A jaclIknife found in the pocket of an overcoat in Blon- din's grip bore no marks of blood. Tn answer to question by the attorney general, Professor Wood said that all traces of blood might be removed from such knife by thorough wash ing in cold water. The knife in ques- tion was very clean
