Peruna is such a perfect specific for
each case that when patients have once
used it they can never be induced to quit
it until they are permanently cured. It
begins to relieve the disa agreeable
sympt oms at once. The backache
ceases, the trembling knees are
strengthened, the appetite restored,
the digestion made perfect, the dull
headache is stopped and the weaken
ing drains are gradually cured. These
results certainly follow a course Of
treatment with Peruna.
Barbara Alberty, corner Seventh and

as follows in regard to Peruna:
For years I have suffered with back
ache and severe pains in the side: 1

BOUND FOR PRISON AGAIN
Charles Thomas His Capers in Benton
| and his new Didos IN Marion

Charles Thomas is remembered
in Corvallis. All the saloon men in
town know him well. He skinned
each of them once by means of bo.
gus checks, and by that token he
landed in the Benton County Jail,
and was thence sent to the peniten-
tiary by Judge Hamilton to serve
two years.
1t looks now like Charles would
go to the state prison again. He
was released from there a few days
ago, and his first act thereafter was
to forge more checks, and again
! land in the county Jail. This time
it was in Marion county. where he
worked off bogus checks on so
many people, that his sentence con-
not be a light one. With forged
checks on the bank ofLadd & Bush
he bought a spanking team for
$500 aud thereafter drove it about
! the country, buying farms. He
bargained for large number of
fine homesteads, and the account is
that if his bogus checks had held
out. and the officers have left him
alone, would have owned half
the country.
Thomas is talented yo11ng man.
He is an Englishman. and at the
time he cut so much mustard in
Corvallis. he wore white hat. He
landed here on a Saturday that was
national holiday. He worked
off a $1o bogus check on every
saloon man in town, and on the
proceeds had the highest of high
old times. The saloons were not
open the following day. which was
Sunday. and he drove down to
Albany for better time than he
could get in a dry town. He re-
turned to Corvallis in the evening,
and the next morning before the
banks opened he left town on foot,
going south The bogus character
of the checks was discovered soon
after the bank opened, and Deputy
Sheriff Henderson overhauled
Thomas at John Porter's place.
After spending three OF four months
in the Benton County jail, Thomas
was sent to the penitentiary, and
apparently his experience there has
been such that he is eager to get
back. this second time by the same
old check route In his last pyro
technic operations, he got away
with about 5000 in cash on his for
ged check racket.

ALBERT MARTIN IN TOWN.
Is out on Bail-Something About Him
He has Views About the two
VerdictS.

Albert Martin; under sentence
for mapslaughter for his part in the
affair in which Indian Grant lost
his life, while his companion Logan
was acquitted by Portland jury,
was in Corvallis Saturday, enroute
to his home at Siletz. He has fur
nished bail. pending argument on
the motion for new trial, which
Judge McFadden has made in
Judge Bellmger's court. and which
it is expected will be heard early
in January. The general opinion
is that. in view of the surprising
verdict in the Logan case, Martin
will be extremely liable to come
clear in the event Of new trial.
1t is also insisted that, on account
of the Logan verdict of aequittal,
on evidence said by Judge Belline-
er when he scored the jury to have
been much stronger than that
against Martin, a new trial for Mar
tin is almost sure to be granted.
In appearance. Martin is COM
ely Indian. rather lighter in COM
plexion than is usual with his race,
He is a small man with regular
features and with the usual coal
black hair and eyes. His speech
is free and his language as good as
that of the ordinary Western white
man. As is usual with most of his
countrymen, he does not know his
exact age, and when questioned on
the subject replied, 81 don't know;
but I am between 81 and 35." He
is a descendant of the Rogue river
tribe, and was born on the Siietz
reserve. His family consists of a
wife and two step sons.
Concerning the verdictin his own
case as compared with that for Lo.
gan. he talked intelligently, saying
that everybody familiar with the
testimony was thunderstruck at the
comparative results by the two jur-
les, He has on earnest hope of an
acquittal in case of a new trial, and
there is real pathos in the sincerity
and candor with which he speaks
of the matter. r

lost in case of burglars. There,
used to be an old fashioned remedy

IN JAIL THEN
But Jail Official now-Big Change for
Francis Pryor-Letter From him

The arrival of letter at the sher.
ifs Office the other day recalls an
attempted burglary of Wilhelm s
store at Monroe, the subsequent in
generation of the alleged burglars
in the Benton County Jail, the SEN
ding of one of them to the peniten
tiai and the dismissal of the other
without trial,-a1l of which occur
red in the year 1900, The convic-
ted burglar was Henry Kubli. He
became famous while awaiting trial
in the county Jail by his many and
ingenious attempts to break out.
He was sentenced by Judge Hamil-
ton to two years, but within year
or two, he went crazy and was sent
to the insane asylum, being still an
inmate of that institution.
Kub1i had companion in the
Benton Jail, young man who was
arrested with him at Monroe, after
the attempt at burglary. He was
Francis Pryor, of whom at the
time it was not believed that he
was guilty. He was from a good
family at Fayette Iowa. and had
always been well, and favorably
known by Frank Francisco, and
other Fayette people in Corvallis.
The district attorney filed no infor-
nation against Pryor. and after
lying in the county Jail from May
until November, he was given his
liberty. and helped in a financial
way by Fayetteans in Corvallis.
The letter received at the sheriffs
Office, which recalls the above incl
dent. is from Pryor. He is now at
Lacrosse, Wisconsin, and is an at
tache there of the city and county
jail. The institution is a four story
affair, and Pryor has charge Of the
horsesyin use on the patrol wagons,
going frequently with the officers
after prisoners The letter tells of
his life since leaving Corvallis
and is Interesting in the contrast it
shows between Pryor's environments
while he sojourned in Benton> and
since that unfortunate time.

SAW HIS FIRST TRAIN.
Thought it Little Houses Chasing Each.
Other-A Persian in Corvallis.

The aftermath following the jun
ior rhetorical at OAC last Friday
afternoon was brief season of re-
fined hilarity. 1t was provoked by
a man, born under the strange and
heathenish customs. and on the
| burning sands of Persia, but now
arrayed in American habilaments,
and flying the American flag The
stranger spoke of the first train he
ever saw cas- a string of little hous-
es chasing each other along an iron
road" He described courtship and
matrimony. in Persia, where, he
said. 'the wooer and the wooed fire
love at each other 'unbeknowns'
to anybody at two hundreds yards
range, and the girl is blindfolded at
that" In playful mood and oily
style particularly his own, he ran
down a good many English words
| to find a deal of humorous etymo
logy, while ripples of mirth. out
bursts of laughter. and spirited ap
plause greeted the speaker in rapid
succession like morning sunbeams
on a thirty acre field.
The speaker was Doctor Ka-sha-
ba. This name. which means Sun
day, was applied to the father who
was born on that day. Young
Ka-sna-ba came of native family
of Presoyterians in one of the Mo-
hammeddan districts of Persia, At
the early age of twenty he decided
that he did not like to sit down on
the floor to chew muc-a-muc like
his Turkish neighbors, nor to con-
tinue teaching school in the loft of
a COW barn "a the heathen do, so he
proposed to his parents to swap his
prospective Persian bride with dow
ry and perquisities appertain-
ing thereto for college education
in America. Tosthis the parents
reluctantly consented, however,
with their continued good will they
called him Joseph, which in that
country signifies "good boy" So
in Persia, Joseph Ka-sha-ba means,
good boy born on Sunday" Nine
years ago. he came to America,
with but three words in his English
vocabulary bread, milk. and wat
er, but on striking his first board
ing house in the American metrop-
oils, he said he found these to
mean dry bread and watered milk.
Upon finding that New York was
not bountifully supplied with mil
lionaires who were hunting for
poor boys to educate into mission
aries, he struck St. Paul shortly,
spending six years in McCalllster
Colleges and three years in the med
1ca1 college of Minnesota. where he
recently graduated To cap the
climax. on graduation he took the
oath of American citizenship and
married a typical American girl
who proposes to labor with her /
husband as medical missionary in
Central Persia, under the protec-
tion of Uncle Sam Doctor Ka-sha !
ba is now touring the West tn or |
der to secure means whereby he !
may carry to his native land the |
light he has found in the life and |
institutions of the American people.
He has contracted to lecture under |
the auspices of the Y. M. c. A. at I
the college chapel next Monday ev-
ening at which time a small ad-
fee will be charged for a de
lightfu1 entertainment.
