his nerves when II reached the
sharps and flats. II the people of
Missouri have supposed they make
governors, they will notice that
they really have no part in the
business. Some fine afternoon a
trust agent performs the job for
them, and, in later years, admits
that he bunglcd II. Perhaps the
person owning up to this error has
committed other mistakes, incon-
vcnicntly covering four years and
damaging the highest state func-
tons. II IL sad to reflect that
either the wrong man picked out
the governor n day or that the
wrong governor was selected.
Perhaps both calamitics occurred.

his genesis In some other way.

cXcuse for himself, II he Is search

r. M. Cobb.

Mr.. Frances Marian Cobb de-
parted this life July ~, 1903 at his
residence near High Point church,
Galloway county.
Mr.. Cobb was born In Missouri
Feb. II, 1885, and was married to
Miss Martha Ann Clement Dec 30,
1863. He united with the Christian
Church In 1877, and has ever shown
by bis christian department that
he was led by the spirit Of God.
He lived in the love OF God,
the love OF the church 4,
and the love OF man. He
was one of those men who have
no enemies, and illness was long,
continued and severe, scarcely an
hour passing since last Jan. with
out his body being tortured with
pain often of the most cxcruciating
kind, yet he bore IL all with Chris
tian fortitudc and resignation;
even sometimes in his last days
singing hymns with "A body too
fcble to lift his head.
Death did not steal upon him
unaware, he even gave instruc-
tons as to the kind of mantle and
coffin in which his body should be
rob.d, and where his last resting
place should be.
The funeral services were con-

his future.

Mrs. w. 7. Hcnsley.

In Memory OF Mrs. VIM. Thos.
Hcnsley, whose maiden name was
Missouri Frances Hickcrson. She
was born in Adair county, Mo-,
January 9th 1858, while she was
yet a child her parents moved to
Montgomery county, and here she
grew TO womanhood, and on the
9TH day OF October 1885 shc was
married to w. I. Hcnsley, a few
days afterward they came to their
home 1 miles east of Montgomery
City. They lived happy in each
others companionship until the
Death Angel called for the wife
and mother about | o'clock Tuep-
day July 81, 1903.
She leaves two sons Seth aged II
years and Rupert aged 10 years to
mourn the loss OF one OF Gods
choice gifts, a mothers loving care.
Besides her children she leaves n
sorely gricved husband, a mother,
three sisters and three brothers,
also a host OF friends lamenting
her departure. Two brothers aud
a sister who live near Wellsvillc
Richard and John Hickerson and
Mrs. Harlingcr; Robert Hickerson
and Miss Maud and Mrs. bud
Davis.
Missouri Frances was n kind,
dutiful and amiable daughter, wife
and mother. She Joined the
Christian Church some 10 or 20
years ago and since then she has
shown by her daily life how firm
her faith in Christ her King. We
had no human friend more faith
full, no nurse more efficient than
this woman to sooth, cheer and
comfort us when pain and anguish
wrung the brow. Ever cheerful,
never b~oisterous, like her Savior
approaching herself to the sad who
need sympathizers or to the re.
joicers who want banqueters.
None knew her but to love her.
For her little deeds of kindness she
she might well be called "Sweet
Charity"
1t is true as in every life she had
her trials, temptations and sorrows.
These she met courageously, en-
dured with patience and fortitude.
Characteristic Of those who have
heard the blessed words of Christ
"Come unto me-" and with an eye
OF Christian faith looked hopefully
up the pathway from earth to
heaven. Her health has been
delicate for some time. A few
weeks ago she was taken down
with malaria fever, while 1t ran its
course a complication OF troubles
arose. All that doctors or skilled
nurse could do was done, but Of
no avail. The temporal dwelling
so wasted and wore was no longer
needed for that noble soul. As
quitcly as a candle light Is ex-
tinguished the spirit OF life de-
parted. On the following day the
body was inferred In the White
cemetery, after services at the
residence by Rev. Surber.

There's n paper in Audrain
county which got $500 from an
unknown source for standing on
the right side OF q certain PROPOSE
ton. This should be encouraging
to an honest fearless press. The
people are always on the side OF
right. The difficulty is, there are
so many people who are ready to
pat the editor on the back and
say, "Stay with it, old man, we're
for YOU" and yet they are prob
ably n year In at the time
and don't seem to think that a
newspaper man needs anything
but pleasant words.
Many a newspaper man shrinks
from telling the truth, because
he knows he will be In disfavor
and may lose some patronage
thereby. This is wrong. 1t IL
cowardly.
Brethren of the press we believe
that the great common people
whom Champ Clark loves to talk
about, will always rally to tn,
support of the newspaper which
conducts itself uprightly, respects
the law and demands that others
do the same. The man who
gravels at every approach Of the
press. mueller is no man at all.
Tell the truth stand up for you,
community, do your professional
duty and the gates of wickednes,
shall not prevail against you.

The Steel Wizard.

B. J. Caster1ine continues to
amaze the crowds who congreg ate
to witness the many marvellous
feats he performs by means of his
wonderful method Of tempering
steel. A. S. Cameron, who ac-
eompanied Mr.. Casterline to Port
land and is assisting him in the
promotion of his discovery, spent
Sunday with relatives at home In
Corvallis. He says that Eastern

made overtures for an interest in
the new process, and government
officials have asked that no con-

nifty to investigate. A Portland

worth of stock if a company is In

Broke an Artery.

Mrs. Minnie Washburne re-
ceived word yesterday from Cor
Wallis that her son, Chester, had
been quite seriously injured about
one week ago and wasIat present
under a doctors care in Corvallis,
but would be moved home some
time next week.
Chester lett Eugene little less
than a month ago on geological
survey and was located on Marys
Peak, south of Corvallis. About
a week ago the earth on the side
'of the mountain gave way and
he fell, breaking an artery in his
leg. 49,
He was alone and the nearest
ranch was nine miles away and
and as he states, with the use of
only one leg, he clicked" him
self along to this ranch and was
taken from there to Corvallis.
For a week, on account of in
fammation in his leg, he was
quite sick young man. Eugene

Wou1d rot Build Bridge.

At an adjourned term of com.
missioners' court, held June
10th, the following business was
transacted:
In the matter of the petition of
Jas. Martin, ct al, for a draw
bridge at Liverpool, the court
with Frank ]. Miller, bridge ex-
pert, visited the site of the pro-
posed bridge at said place, and
decided that such a bridge would
be very expensive and would not
justify the expenditure at this
time. The petition was denied.
c. Read was allowed and paid
$40. 81 for road work, and w. NJ.
Clark was allowed 500 for road
work in district No. 8.
John Gilman having eomplet-
ed the work on Oliver hill road
as per contract, a warrant for $a5
was ordered drawn in his favor,
being the balance due on the con-
tract price.

Narrowly Escaped Death.

Michael Finn, one of the own
ers of, the Benton County Saw
mill, narrowly escaped death in
the woods near the mill, ID miles
southeast of Corvallis, last Sat
urday morning. Mr.. Finn was
in charge of the logging crew
which was engaged in placing
logs in a chute leading to the
mill. A monsterlog caught asst
started down the chute and one
end swung around, striking one
of the small timbers forming the
side of the runway. This flew
from its fastenings and struck
Mr.. Finn a terrible blow across
the back of the neck and shoul-
ders, knocking him fifteen feet
down the hill.
He was insensib1e when pick
ed up and remained so for nearly
two hours. DR.. Newth, of Philo-
math, and DR.. Pernot, of this
city, were called by phone. Mr..
Finn had regained consciousness
sufficiently to recognize DR.. Per-
not when he reached his bedside,
but he remained in semi-stupor
all day.
A message received in Corval-
lis yesterday stated that Mr..
Finn was improving, and as no
bones were broken or fractures
suffered, it is hoped that his re-
covery will be rapid.

forwarded clippings from the

So it appears that Mr.. Caster
line has only to be careful to be-
come independently rich.
An interesting experiment was
arranged to take place yesterday.
A representative of a large con-
Germ that makes burglar-proof
safes that are guaranteed to resist
any drill, offered Mr.. Casterline
800 if he could drill hole
through the metal used in his
safe, and 81. 900 for the bit used
in doing it. The Steel Wizard,
as he is called in Portland, ac-
cepted the challenge and in less
than a halt hour had a hole
through the safe metal. The as
tonished seller of safes quibbled
over the form of the bit, but re-
newed the offer if Mr.. Casterline
would max a twisted bit that
would do the work. This prop
ositien was accepted and the trial
was made yesterday.

The. School Of Music of the Ore
gon Agricultural College is rapidly
becoming one Of the most popular

President Catch has been quick to
recognize the Importance 'of this
branch as an inducement to stu
dents, and has given it every en-
couragement. The department is
not supported by appropriations, but
from fees paid by students taking
musical instruction, and the fact
that it is self.spupporting is evi-
denee of its merit and popularity.
Heretofore instruction has been con-
fined to piano pupils, but arrange
.ments have been made to include
the violin. Ruthyn Turney. a vio-
linist and teacher of exceptional
ability, has been given a chair in
this department. Besides giving
instruction on the violin, he will
teach theory and ensemble. An

This years prune crop of Ore
gon," says Frank Lee, editor of the
Northwest Pacific Farmer, "will be
one of the largest ever produced in
this state, and from present indica-
tions the total yield will amount to
80, 600, 600 pounds that is, provid.
ing the drying capacity is sufficient
to handle the yield in time. In all
sections OF the state the crop is in
excellent condition and I have no
doubt that the coming crop will be
the best that this state has ever
produced. Oregon will have q
much larger crop in proportion to
the acreage than will the state of
California this year. / expect that
the season will open with quota
tions at about 4 cents a pound"

reasons for his present attitude.
Sheriff Burnett has a very fine
shotgun, and he sent it to Dilley's
to nave it cleaned and put in good
repair for the trap. shooting season.
This was about month ago. A
few days later a party called and
enquired if Sheriff Burnett's gun
was ready. Dillev replied that it
was, and the party said he had
been sent for it, and proceeded to
walk off with the gun without more
ceremony. Dilley never suspicion
ed that anything was wrong until
Mr. Burnett came for his gun.
Then he learned that no one had
been given authority to take the
weapon. The party is known, and
