IN THE OLD TIME,
Wagons From Oregon Oak-They were
Better Than Present Day Wagons.

One of the old timers In Benton
is Joseph Heckef, Who lives not
far from Wells, near the Polk coun-
ty line, He came to Corvallis in
1883. and for time was engaged
in wagon making on the corner
now occupied. by the Arcade. There
from Oregon oak he made wagons
that in material and workmanship
were far superior to those of pres
ent day turned OUT in the big
factories from Eastern material.
The oaken axle was far stronger
than those of hickory, brought at
the time into this country from the
East.
To get the best oak. discrimina-
ton was necessary. Tt was in such
trees as grew on north hill side
among frs, where they seldom or
never were warmed by the sun
rays that the toughest and strong
est oak was secured. Made from
material from such trees, the hubs,
felloes, spokes and axles of the old
time wagons were always reliable,
and well nigh ever lasting, some of
them even wearing out their hardy
pioneer owners.
Just before the great food of
1862, Mr.. Hecker moved on a
farm near the Polk county line,
and he has resided there constantly
ever since, gradually, gathering
around him such competence as
enables him to live in comparative
ease in these latter days.

ANOTHER DECISION,
About Transferring Apportioned
School Money.

Another decision has been render
ed with reference to the school law
governing the transfer of appor
toned money from one district to
another. Recently the TIMES pub
lished the opinion of Superintend
ent Ackerman on the subject. Ir
that opinion, when a child attend
ed school other than in the home
district, the apportioned money due
such child could be transferred
provided the districts are adjoining
That is to say, the home districi
and the district in which the child
attends school must touch each
other, or no transfer of apportioned
money can be made The new de.
cision is by the attorney general.
It conform; to that of Superintend-
ent Ackerman, and provides that
the districts must adjoin, OF there
can be no transfer of money.
The various phases Of this pro
vision Of the school law have oc
casioned much discussion and diff
ference of opinion Among other
things. they caused law suit, in
which patrons of the Newton dis.
trict have brought mandamus pro-
ceedings to compel the directors to
transfer apportioned money to
children of that district who are
attending school at Philomath. The
case is to be heard at an adjourned
term of the circuit court to be held
at the court house at Corvallis at
two O. clock on the 10 inst.

What They are Thinking About, he
Interprets-Rosco.
A remarkable exhibition of mind
reading was given on the street
Tuesday afternoon by Prof Rosco,
whose company is playing nightly
at the opera house. 1t was SINH
lar in kind but more difficult of
execution to an exhibition of the
sort in this city several months ago.
A committee consisting of George
Brown. D. Jackson, Mr. Kerker and
Will Read took a large book and
an ordinary pin AID driving over a
circutous route, hid the book in
Miller's store and stuck the pin in a
telephone pole at Horning's estab-
lishment. They returned to the
opera house, where Rosco blind
folded, entered the vehicle, took the
reins and drove over the same
route. At Miller's store, he stop
ped, entered the place and soon
found the book. stopping at Horn
ings later to get the pin. Then the
party returned to the operahouse
where Rosco found in the book a
word that the committee had selec-
ted. The word was ''coa1." and he
spelled it out and pronounced it.
He also gave the page of the book
on which the word was found,
which was page~1432- His mind
reading in this case, aswellas similar
stunts of the sort each night at the
opera house, are very remarkable.

The Best Remedy for Group.
(From the Atchison Kan. Globe
This is the season when the
women who know the best remedy
for Group are in demand in every
neighborhood. One of the most
terrible things in the world is to
be awakened in the middle of the
night by a whoop by one of the
children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case OF
Group, as revolver is sure to be
Lost in case of burglars. There
used to be an old fashioned remedy
for Group, known as hive syrupand
tulu, but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is better, and does not cost so much
It causes the patient to''throw up
the phlegm" quicker, and gives re-
lief in shorter time. Give this
remedy as soon as the croupy cough
appears and it will prevent the at
tack. It never fails and is pleasant
and saft to take. For sale by Gra-.

Charles May was admitted by the
county court this week to the poor
farm. For twenty years more or
less, he has lived in various parts
of the county, having home gen.
orally among the German residents.
He is 81 years of age now, and
beyond the time when he is able
to make a livelihood for himself.
Yesterday was the regular date
for pensioners of the vicinity to pre-.
pare the papers on which their al
iowance from the geve rnment is
drawn, and many were at the clerks

observed every three months, ack-

Fred D Herbold, who so success
fully coached the. 0 A G football
team last year, arrived yesterday
afternoon on visit OF day with
old friends. He coached the eleven

games, among them the University

tural College elevens. In the five
games, Herbold's team made Io4

e Comment is general locally. over
the acquittal of Abe Logan by a
Portland jury. while his companion
in the affair in which Indian Grant
was killed was given manslaughter.
Belief is general that the penalty
fell on the wrong man, and that
justice, as Judge Bellinger express,
sed in, has been cheated. Judge
McFadden has moved for a new
trial 1t the Martin case, and the
argument on the motion will prob
ably be heard in Judge Bellinger's
court early in January. The gener-.
al statement is that the evidence
against Logan was far stronger
than that against Martin, and that
an exact reversal of the verdict
would have been more fitting,
Judge McFadden returned Thurs
day from Toledo where he secured
bail for Martin, and the latter is to
be released, pending argument on
the motion for his new trial.

into the country. The love of nature
seems to be born in most OF them,
says a writer in St Nicholas. Besides,
they are sturdy young folks, and are
perfectly willing to put up with in
conveniences. For these reasons they
are just the people to enjoy walk.
ing in the country, and the practice
begun in childhood is kept up during
life. When the children go on these
long walks they often carry what we
should call botanical box (that is,
a tin box about foot and q half long,
with rounded edges, and a lid on
hinges), slung over the shoulder by a
strap.

As regards tea gowns, there Is

tainly there is nothing prettier for

besides which It has the advantage of
harmonizing well with practically ev.
cry other shade imaginable. says the
Illustrated London News. Any kind
of crepe looks well in silver gray, and
1t can be trimmed with dash of
bright color to prevent its looking
fade. A pretty model in crepe de
chine was accordion pleated through
out, finished off with great turned
down collar and an Empire sash tied
above the waist line. with some tas-
sells of orange silk mingling with the
loops. Another gray gown was made
up in a soft wooden material worked
with spots of white silk. 1t was
shocked on the bust, and from thence
fell quite loosely to the feet. The
neck was cut in a small V.shape and
edged with fichu of white net, Dor

sleeve was full bishop shape, drawn

by his tutor how Good Friday (Holy
Friday the French call iD differed
from other days, distinguished him.
self by the epigrammatic answer, ON
Good Friday there is less butchers
meat in Paris and many more En-.
glishmen." The boy described the diff
ference exactly from a Paris point OF
view. To-day is the one day In all the
1856 on which the Paris butcher closes
his shop and takes holiday, and
meat is extremely difficult to get in
Paris, except in restaurants, where,
of course, small supply has been
laid in for customers who are not
Roman Catholics, or who do not prac
tice abstinence from meat even upon
this one day. In Paris, where ex-
tremes OF opinion of all kinds have
always met, the freethinker appears
in his most self-assertive form to-day.
There are a number of thinking
clubs In Paris. all of which meet in
great solemnity this evening, to pro
test against the tenets of all
churches" to eat sausages, ham, pork,
and every form of pigs flesh they can
think Of, and to drink at intervals
toasts to "the downfall of religion"

Erinue Feathers.

Quite the latest thing for hat adorn'
ment is a fringe feather which seems
to be composed of two ostrich feathers
a black one over white one. Near
the stem end the black one Is simply
curled lightly over the white one. For
more than half the length, however
the strands of the black plume are
knotted just as silk fringe is. This
hanging over the soft snowy white
plume gives most noticeable effect
II is very pretty though the black part
looks to be OF fringe until one exam
ines 1t quite closely.
