A Chicago millionaire, George Il.
Cline. had an extraordinary hobby.
He was connOiSseur of lrishmen, nc.
cording to the local papers. Though
on himself he would never spend more
than II or 90 cents a day, he thought
nothing of buying Irishmen sumptu-
Gus dinners. with champagne. in order
to hear them talk in their musical
brogue. An freshman once played
Colonel Cline false. He stole pair of
boots from him. Discovering the theft.
the millionaire pursued the Irishman,
Overtaking him as he was about to en-
ter pawnshOp with the boots in his
hand. "Those are my boots; you have
stolen Them" said Colonel Cline. "Sure,
1t was only joke" said the Irishman.
But the memorable millionaire hailed
the thief before magistrate, and here
again the man repeated, at was only
joke, your honor" "Only joke,
hey?" said the magistrate. well, Mr..
Cline, how far away from your house
had he carried the boots when you
overlook himW "Over a mile, sir" re-
piled the millionaire. Held for court"
said the magistrate This Is a case Of
carrying the joke too far"

There is paper published in London
called the Anti-Top Hat. 1t depends
for its circulation not upon subscrib-
ers. but upon the will of an eccentric
old man who hated the conventional
form of headgear with n hatred which
he carried beyond the grave. He fought
the "stovepipe" hat while alive. and
when he died he left his nephew $1,000
Il year on condition that he edit and
publish a monthly paper devoted to
ridiculing the "top hat" The nephew
accepted the legacy and the RESPONSE
bllty and issues his paper regularly.
though he confines each edition to three
copies, one for himself and one for
each of the old mans executors.

Gradually the ranks of Corvallis batch
elors are becoming decimated. The last
to join the great majority of benedicts is
George Horning, whose attachment to
batchelorhood was generally regarded as
constitutional. George in the role of a
married man is almost too good to be-
1ieve, but Harry Wortham, who person
ally witnessed the ceremony, which Was
performed by Rev. Minton at the home
of the brides father near Dusty, last
Wednesday afternoon. is authority for
the statement that there is no doubt
about 1t.
Besides Mr.. Wortham, Mr.. and Mrs.
E. B. Horning and the near relatives of
the bride were present during the cere-
mony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Herning (nee Miss

residence on what is known as the Clark
place near the farm of Tyra Smith. The

Seni-Annual Meeting.

The regular semi-annual meet
ing of the board of regents of the
Oregon Agricultural College was
held in the Office of the president
of the faculty at the college,
Wednesday afternoon. All men,
bers of the board were present,
except Geer, Dunbar and Leedy.
Little, aside from the formal
routine business, claimed atten-
ton.
The resignation of Professor
Patterson, physical instructor,
was accepted, and President
Weatherford and President Catch
were authorized to secure a per-
son competent to fill the position.
Regent KILN reported that
the college committee had been
unable to find suitable ground
for a model farm for exhibition
during the Lewis and Clark fair,
and the matter was continued.
An order was made to have a
program of the Farmers Short
Course appear in next years cat
alegue.
A resolution was passed, en-
couraging members of the faculty
and station to supply newspapers
and magazines with articles con-
tanning information concerning
the work of their department cal
culated to be of value to the pub
lie, when such information could
be supplied without embarrassing
the work in any OF the depart
ments. The idea is to acquaint
the public with what the college
is doing through the newspapers
as we'll as through bulletins.
And as soon as an experiment is
completed and definite results as
certained, the board believes that
this knowledge should be dessem
mated through the press of the
state, in concise, readable arti-
cles. The idea is an excellent
one and is bound to be product
i've of good results.
The board concluded its 1abors
early in the afternoon. The
members accepted the invitation
of Mrs. Haywood to dine at AL
pha Hall, where they enjoyed a
delicious repast after the meeting.

James Hayes is Dead.

After an eventfu1 life, whose declining
years have been spent in the peace and
contentment of happy home amid
prosperous surroundings, James S. Hayes
passed to the great beyond yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Hayes was up early as usual and
seemed in his accustomed health His
son, Clyde, and John Wells were busy
butchering hogs at Mr.. Hayes farm
home, just west of this city, and Mr..
Hayes was assisting at this work About
ten o'clock, while in the act of picking
up stone, he fell upon his face and re-
NAMED! motionless. His wife and son
ran to his assistance. but the stricken
man gasped and expired. DR.. Cathey
was summoned post haste, but Mr..
Hayes was beyond human aid.
Heart disease was the immediate cause
of death.
James S. Hayes was born at Albany,
New York. and was over 10 years of age
at the time of his death. His parents
moved to Cook county, Illirois, while he
was quite young. In 1852. Mr.. Hayes
accompanied an emigrant train across
the plains, paying 800 for the privilege.
He arrived in Jackson county, Oregon,
in 1852, "a boy of tender years. as he
himself expressed it. For five years he
was employed at farm work. He went
to Fort Yale on Fraziefiiyer in search of
gold in 1857, but met with no success.
The following year was spent on farm
near what is now Gold Hill, and while
thus employed discovered the gold mine
which gave THAT town its name and laid
the foundation for the fortune which he
possessed at the time f.his death.
Mr.. Hayes came to Benton county in
the early SOS, shortly alter his marriage
to Miss Caroline Henkle. For many
years he was resident of Corvallis. Re-
Gently, however, with his wife and son
he has made his home on his farm near
Oak Greek.
Genial in disposition, upright and hos
est in his dealings with men, Mr. Hayes
made friend OF every acquaintance and
a success in life. A widow; two sons,
John and Clyde, and three daughters
Mrs. I. M. Hunter, of Waterville, Wash;
Mrs. Thos. Bell and Mrs.sE. Philips, of
Corvallis, survive him.

which appeared IN the GAZETTE
a year or more ago On the occa-
sion of his completing a small
steamer that was perfect in all its
details.
The man O. war which "Ioe"
has just completed Is about three
feet over all and has two double
turrets, and carries, all told,
eighteen guns and looks for the
world like the real.thing. 1t has
the usual complement of lifeboats.
1t has a couple of searchlights
and everything that is necessary
for a model fighting machine.
On board is an electric battery
which drives the propeller, and
it drives it, too.
The little craft is made of zinc
and weighs about fifteen pounds.
It is nicely painted and together
with the "Stars and Stripes fys
a Chinese dragon. It has two
alright compartments which
makes it float nicely and when
the electric battery is turned
loose it is capable of considera-
BILE speed. The propeller is re-
versible and the craft can be run
either forward or backward.
During the week the craft has
been in charge of Clinton Cam
eron, who had it for the purpose
of rafting it off, and who placed
it in the show window of his
fathers harness shop. 1t is
needless to say that it attracted
great attention.

Thinking Makes 1t So.

The other day, surrounded by
a number of his friends, a prom
inent attorney of this city related
some of his experiences On his
arrival in Oregon thirty years
ago. He reached Corvallis "dead
broke,'' about April Ist, 1873.
He secured the position of honor
able, city attorney-on account
of the position having been re-
fused by other attorneys-and d
the first year received for his ser
vices the ''measlyo sum of SIS.
Next he was given sort of
bob tailed case in Pkilonlath,
won it, and was paid a dollar or
two. Following in the wake of
this case he was retained fer a
''heads-you-win-tails-yo lose !"
proposition in Linn county-it
came "heads'' for him and he
felt as though he inhabited the
Holy City.
Late in the following fall his
wife was expected to arrive and
he was busy for some time previ-
Gus at sawmill manufacturing
clumsy furniture to set up house
keeping with when she appeared.
He made several tables, and the
legs of these he coated with a
dark wood stain-when the cover
was over them they looked like
walnut. He had two trunks
and no use for either-so he sold
one to assist in keeping soul and
body together.
He bought some articles OF
August Knight, now deceased,
on tjaw-bone" and lodged Mr..
Knight for many months there
after. Finally his wife arrived
and they started housekeeping
with a borrowed stove that had
but three 1egs-it 1ooked9nic
and the attorney and his wife
were always afraid the owner
would call for it.
Christmas day dawned and the
young attorney expected that
New Years would see him work
ing on the sidewalks of Corvallis.
He had but IS cents. Of this
sum he tblewo himself for 25
cents worth of peanuts aud re-
ceived about as many as one
would get now for dime. The
peanuts he and his wife ate and
were as happy as kings, despite
the dismal outlook. The attor-
ney in question succeeded and
many Christmas days have passed
with turkeys on his table, but he
says that perhaps the happiest of
them all was the one on which
he and his young wife ate the
peanuts. After all, it's ''think-
ing makes it so. -

JUDGE KALUA IS
NOW DOING BETTER

While the News had just occasion in
the past to severely condemn gross
improprieties in the official conduct of
Hon. John w. Kalua, yet this paper is
equally ready to praise where COM
mendation is deserved. Consequently
it is with no little degree of satisfac-
tion that the News notes that for some
time past Judge Kalua has apparent
ly been endeavoring to perform the
high duties Of his office with an honest
intention to administer justice proper
ly and to square his private life with
his public acts. The News recognizes
the principle that when any official per-
forms his duties acceptably to the COM
munity which he serves, 1t Is only his
due to receive appreciation from the
community. If for no other reason than
the encouragement it gives to continued
effort to retain the good opinion of his
fellow-citiZen: Judge Kalua is one Of
the brightest and ablest of our Ha-
waiians, and as it was in sorrow rath-
er than in anger that the News con-
demned his official shortcomings, con-
sequently 1t is with equal pleasure that
the News testifles to the acceptable Of
fetal record which Judge Kalua Is now
making for himself.-Maui News.
