Paris, Dec. 25.-The Dreyfus de-
cis.on has created very little excite
men,. The government predicts
that the public will grow tired of
the case by the end of the three
months time which will be reqnir-
ed by the court Of cessation to pass
upon the appeal. Dreyfus himself
refuses to talk for publication, but
Joseph Reinach, formerly editor of
the Steele, and his other friends ex-
press their delight at what they re-.
gard as the first step towards his
vindication.

Corvallis was destroyed by FIRE. Mr..
Hodes kept it then ID building
near where Hotel Corvallis now
stands. [! was thrifty business,
for in those days firearms were
much used and there was much
demand for rep tirs new implemen-
tss and ammunition. One night,
however, there was a big blaze, and
with others the Hodes store was
swept away In a third instance
the residence of Mr. Hodes was
burned. There was no insurance
in either instance, and each time
the loss sustained was total.
THE SURVIVORS.
Though the general public never
had opportunity to view it, Mr..
Hodes' knowledge of history and
biography was remark able. Few
nen read so muck as he. Histori-
cal works both in the Engli-h and
German especially attracted him.
La G-rman history, with its num-
erous and thrilling transactions
and events. he was so familiar that
few men could tell the story of the
Fatherland with greater accuracy
or exactness.
Io his dealings with his brothor
man, the deceased was scrupuious-
ly honest and upright. His death
lays in the grave yard the man who
was longer than any other man in
continuous business ia Corvallis,
and blots out one that has been
landmark through the times when
Corvallis has made her history.

Salem. Dec. 25.-A feature Of the
Hate legislative session, was the theft
of the gambling law bill. The
measure was similar 10 one recently
passed and placed in operation in
the state of Washington, where it
| is highly successful. 1t makes gamb-
Ing q felony, and prescribes penal
ties cal ulat-d to absolutely control
the gam mbling situation.
The Oregon bill was holly oppos.
ed by Portlar d eamb blers, who
came to the capital IN large num-
bers and with large corruption
fund with the avowed purpose of
defeating the bill. Among their
number were the best known among
the green cloth fraternity in the
Oregon metropolis. How we'll they
succeeded in their boast to kill the
bill if they had to buy up all the
mem mbers is seen from the fact that
the legislature duly adjourned with
out enacting the bill into law.
The bill was killed by stealth,
and not in an open, fair field. It
passed the House with votes to
spare. That was in the forenoon
Of Wednesday. But it never reach
el the senate in a way that brought
it up for consideration. Had 1t
ever come to vote i that body. it
must certainly have passed. Few
senators would have dared 10 vote
against it and then go home to an
indignant constituency. This al.
tentative was, however, spared
them. In some mysterious way,
somehow, and by some method that
the public cannot understand, the
bill was stolen
Various theories are afoat on the
subject. The gamblers say the job
only cost them $4,000. Tney ex.
.pected it to cost a great deal more
and were prepared 10 pay the price.
After passing the House in the fore.
noon, the bill, according to bis
statement, was. taken by A. G. Jen-
nings, cliff clerk of the House to.
the bar of the senate. With it. he
carried twu or three other bills,
each was in sealed envelope, ad-
dressed to the president of the SEN
ate. Jennings says he called Gro
Mise, one of the nate pages to the
bar of the senate and there deliver
ed to him all the bills. Cronise de-
MES this. Jennings swears it is true.
Which to believe is the privilege
that belongs to every person. Any
way if Jennings carried the bill TO
the bar of the senate, that is the
last that is known Of it. Nobody
ever heard anything further of it.
1t the page really received the bill
bis natural course would have
been to have delivered it, to
Brownell, tha president of the sen.
ate. Brownell denies that be ever
received the bill. And there the
matter rests. As things look, the
bill went into the senate, but there
the boodlers got in their work, and
some rascal, tempted by gold, dis
graced his position, and defeated
thu will of the legislature by max
ing away with the bill. Somebody
made money out of the transaction,
but who the guilty man is. will
probably never be known. The
whole incident is now the most
talked Of thing in the late legisla--
tive session. The audacity of the
gamblers with their Doodle and in
their methods, and the success with
which they defeated the measure is
the subject of very wide and often
verr bitter comment.

YOUNG WOMAN'S BODY
FOUND ON THE BEACH
Katie Masterdon Believed By
Atlantic City Officers to
BE Suicide

AtlaAtic City, n. J., March 1s-The
body of Miss Katie Masterdon, recently
arrived from Ireland, was found on the
beach at the extreme lower end of
the city yesterday The police be
lieve the woman took her life by wad-
ing into the surf. When found the
body was face up on the sand, Just
above high water mark. The police
are greatly mystifed, and, though they
declare the woman was a suicide are
nevertheless running out other clues.
Evidently the body had not been
long in the water, as it was not rigid. A
purse containing nearly $50 and key
was found in her pocket, ana a rosary
hung about her neck. She had one
glove on and one in her hand. Her
black velvet hat was found near where
the body was found.
The police have been unable to
learn anything definite regarding the
case, although they have been inform
ed by cottagers in Chelsea that groans
were heard by them during the night
and dogs were barking.
Miss Masterdon WIS a domestic in
the family Of c. B. Griffin. She had
been melancholy for several days.
