WANT HIS MONEY.
And Writing Vigorously for it John
Shallenberger and his Heirs.

A lot of people in the East are
writing letters TO County Clerk
Moses now. By some means a
story has gained currency that one
John Shallenberger recently died
in Oregon, and that he left an es-
tate of $50. 900, 900 with no heirs to
claim it. Apparently, the tale has
been published in many papers. for
all the Shallenbergers in-the region
East of the Mississippi are anxious
to get a chance to divide up the
money. So far, Clerk Moses has
received no less than seventy FIVE
letters of inquiry, and the missives
Still come, No less than IS states
are represented on the list of en-
quirers, including Mississippi Louis
ana. Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, and
many other states The alleged
$52, 900, 900, which is wholly
myth, has undoubtedly made the
deceased John Shallenberger more
than dear to host of stricken kins-
men.
The letters are all of the same
tenor. One says that the story. of
the mans death appeared in the
Pittsburg papers, alleging that he
left an estate of P52, 900, 900 with
no heirs The writer adds that
there were Sha1lenbergers among
the relatives on his mothers side
away back, and desires full inform
alton on the subject. Another
writer stated that his father had
brother named John Shallenberger,
who left the East when a young
man long ago. snd that no tidings
of him had ever come back. The
writer apparently suspects the al
legged dead millionaire to be the lost
brother, and begged the county
clerk to supply full Information, for
which proper remuneration will be
made.
County Clerk Moses endeavors
to make prompt and adequate re
play to all these correspondents. as |
is proper, though the task is oner-
Gus. All he can say in reply is
that no such person as John Shall
1enberger has died in Benton coun
ty, worth $50, 900, 900 or any other
amount, and that no information
can be furnished. touching the sub
ject. 1t is a disappointing reply to
be compelled to make to all these
Shallenberger relatives, but it is
all that can be sent incidentally,
if the newspaper story about the
death of the original John Shallen-
berger had merely stated that he
had died penniless- and been buried
in nameless grave no inquiry
about him would ever have been re-
ceived by County Clerk Moses and
that tells the story of what $52,-
900, 900 will do for a man, dead or
alive.
1t is apparent from the letters
tnat copies of each are sent to ev-
cry county clerk in the state.

THOUGH ELECTED
With Good Majority, Mr.. Amber Can
not Serve as Philomath's Mayor.

Henry, Amber, mayor elect Of
Philomath was in town Thursday.
His majority over the opposing
candidate in Mondays election was
81, incidentally strong testimon-
ial to Mr.. Amber, considering the
fact that Mr.. Weed, his opponent
is a popular and most excellent citi-
zen.
Since the, contest it appears that
Mr.. Amber cannot serve in the
Office. His naturalization papers
were not taken out until last March
and since the election, It has de-
veloped that year must elapse in
order to render him eligible for
Office. 1t was the general under
standing that eligibility would
come at the end of six months af-
ter the first papers are filed.
The new officers go in on the
first Monday in January, and it is
expected that Mr.. Weed will be
sworn in as mayor for another
year. The strong endorsement Civ.
en- him in Mondays election is the
result Of Mr.. Ambler's wideawake
methods and progressive spirit
which has accomplished so much
for the growing little city, since his
residence in the locality.

THE KINGS VALLEY AFFAIR.


Affairs like that which has hap
pened in Kings Valley are always
to be regretted. Indeed. they
ought always to be condemned.
Resorts to violence of any kind IN
order to carry out an expression OF
sentiment or opinion are prone ever
to react on those who engage IN
them.
The colored minister in this in
stance is the victim of mistake
that is not his own, and for which
he is not in any sense to BLANC. His
co1ored skin need not prevent him
from preaching Christ crucifed with
as much sincerity and power as
though it were white. Yet, there
is in numberless people predjudice
against the American colored man
that is as inherent aud deep'seated
as the voice of the ocean. Threat.
menace, persuasion, even education
cannot remove it.. 1t is everywhere
and it must be reckoned with. The
way to prevent its outbreak is not
tempt it, Those who bring thecolor
ed man into its pre- ence err In Judg
meut. Great "a is President Roose-
welt in acumer and mental organi-
zation, he blundefed when he in
sisted on showing extreme recogni.
ton to the colored people. 1t has
already cost his party the vote OF
MARYLAND, and in all human pro-
liability will reverse the majority
in other republican border states.
In truth. the necessity for show
ing extreme favor to the colored
,tace is removed. The negro is no
longer prosecuted man. in the
sense that he was supposed to have
been in slavery days. The present
predjudice against him is the result
of violent acts by men of his color
in the South as we'll as in other
parts of the country. If there is
persecution, it is pursuit of
the white wives and daughters all
over the country who live in con.
slant dread of black ravishers. It
is this last phase of the race prob
lem that shuts the eyes of mercy,
not for the rapists only, but for all
colored men, because it gives them
all an evil repute.
Ali this is why the colored min
lister in Kings Valley is blameless
and innocent victim of an affair that
while it is to be condemned always,
is not impossible of explanation. It
is best to let negroes be negroes,
and as such to devote their work to
the salvation of their. own people.

Greeting.

To the Citizens of Corvallis and sur
rounding: Having been engaged in the
real estate business for past ten years in
the East, have decided to take up the
business here. In doing so I expect to
advertise in the East as well as here at

tate salesman through several of the
Eastern states aud knowing the disad-
vantages of the different localities,
shall be better able to set forth the ad-
vantages to be found here than the man
who has always lived here and is not ac
quainted with the Eastern States. If
you wish to make inquiries rega riding
my past yeu can write to any prominent
citizen or to any of the banks of o. 1wein
Iowa, that having been my headquarters
before coming here. After satisfying
yourselves as to my responsibility if you
have anything in the way of real estate
for sale or rent which you may see fit to
place in my hands it will have my best
attention, and though you have no bust
ness to place with me 1 shall be glad to
have you call as I should like to become
acquainted with you and will thank you

gestions for Eastern advertising. If you

try please call and see me.
Wishing you all Merry Christmas

HEAVY RAINS in TEXAS
FLOODS AT GAINESVILLE AND ELSE
WHERE In THE STATE.
Much Property Damaged and Many
WashOuts on Railways, but Only
One Life Reported Lost.

DALLAS. Tex, July 3-The heaviest rain
that has visited the Trinity and Red river
valleys in years prevailed last night and
early this morning. sweeping over many
acres of fine farming land and flooding the
city of Gainesville. The streets Of that
city were under water from two to four
feet throughout the early hours Of to-
day, but the water receded during the
afternoon. and tonight all danger is past.
While Gainesville and other towns suf-
fered considerable property loss, the heavi-
est burden will fall upon the railroads.
Many washouts occurred and in a few
places the tracks were undermined from
the heavy downpour. There was no loss of
life from the torrent. A north-bound Santa
Fe passenger train ran into a washout last
night eight miles south of Gainesville and
Engineer NJ. r. Boyce was killed. No one
else was injured.
Reports from the southwestern part of
Texas, where disastrous cloudbursts pre-
vailed yesterday, state that the loss Of life
will probably reach fifteen. All Of the VIC
tins were Mexicans.

SOFIA, July "A semi-official statement

continues on the Bulgarian frontier of strong
detachments of Turkish infantry, cavalry
and artillery. The endeavors of Turkey to
deny these authenticated facts, while SIM

PLAN TO AVOID STRIKES.
New York Employers and UniOnists
Agree on an Arbitration Scheme.

New York Employers and Unionists
Agree on an Arbitration Scheme.
NEW YORK, July 3.-The Employers
Association and representatives of the
trades unions held a conference tonight
and agreed on a plan of arbitration. The
plan will be submitted at once to the mem
bership of the different unions. 1t provides
in substance: when the employers have
agreement with their employees they
shall have a trade arbitration board, where
all difficulties of that trade can be discussed
and adjusted, but In addition there shall
be a higher court of general arbitration
board for the settlement of all disputes be-
tween employers and employees, or any
question of mutual interest. No business
agent is to be a union arbitrator. Strikes
and lockouts must not take place before
referring disputes to the general arbitration
board The employers shall be permitted to
engage men outside the union, they to be
paid union wages, If the union shall be un-
able to supply the employer with all the
men he needs; and the employer may keep
such men if their services are found to be
satisfactory"
