FOUNDATION LAID.
For Concrete Building-Said to be g
Renter for it When Completed.

The foundation of the concrete
building that Burt Thompson is
erecting on Main street has been laid
and workmen are waiting for the
ingredients to dry. There is more
or less curious interest in the con-
struction of this building, which is
the first of the kind that has come
under thesnotice of most st'peop1e. A
frame of woodwork is the next step
after completion of the foundation.
Studding of wood is framed for the
walls, and then a solid concrete
wall IS built around them. The
inner edge of the studding is left
flush with the inner surface of the
concrete. The thickness of the wall
is eight or 10 inches.
The building is to be rs feetwide
with fifty feet of two stories and an
additional twenty of one story. It
is said that renter will be ready to
occupy the structure as soon as it
is completed It is said that a
structure Of the kind will be super

THE TOWN ELECTRIFIED,

It has been a long time since in
terest has been awakened to SO high
a pitch as that occasioned by de-
velopments at the Hurt house. The
doings of Wednesday night about
the place. and the tearing up of
walks and destruction of furniture
Thursday forenoon, flew over town
like wild fire, and everybody be-
came interested. 1t was told about
that number of dogs and cats had
been thrown into a sacrifcial fire as
a part of the manifestation of the
sects faith. The report which was
accepted as religious Manifesto
ton not far removed from the do
ings of barbarous ancients, sent
peoples imaginations to work. and
everybody discussed the sect and its
antics. Everybody also was seized
with curious desire to see some-
thing that was going on, Accord
ing1y the walk in front of the Hurt
house was lined with people most
of the afternoon, the crowd of on
lockers sometimes numbering rs to
100. It was in the evening, how
ever, that the visits by Corvallisites
10 the Hurt house really began.
The walks leading to Mary's river
bridge and beyond were lined with
excursionists, either going or COM
ing from seven o'clock or earlier to
very late hour. The walks in
front of the house and to either side
were not only filled with on1ookers
but many occupied places in the.
street. All seemed impressed with
the idea that something of an ex-
traordinary character was going to
happen, but in this respect they
were disappointed. The house in
the early part of the evening was.
lighted up, but by half past
eight all the lights were out,
and everything inside was quiet;
The crowd began to dwindle after

STONED THE HURT HOUSE.

A contemplate outrage was COM
mitted Thursday evening by un-
known persons who stoned the Hu t
house. A large crowd was assem-
bled in front. and in the darknes IS
it was i'm possible to see who. did
the stoning. Rocks ratified fre-
quently oa the roof or crashed
through window panes, scattering
broken glass right and lefs. Two
men appeared on ths porch, knock.

there was no answer, one of them
Knocked the glass out of the front
door. All the asts swere swanton,

came from within the house while
the stoalngwas in progress, and by
half rast eight O'Clock all the lights
about the building were extin-
gulshed.

STUPID CHILDRN.

A great many shortcomings in school children have been shown by recent investigation to be due ito other defects than those mentioned, but almost no attention has been paid to. them be cause they have not been regarded as of any consequence. Eighteen per cent of our Madison school children were found to be mouth breathers." Tn the majority of cases adenoid tissue, or a sort of third tonsdl was found obstruct- ing the respiratory passages; and 1t Is the opinion of physicians that this ex- erts a very ibaneful influence upon both bodily and mental developement. I have been able to follow very carefully for some time the careers of two chil- dren who were afflicted with this diff sficulty. They were behind their grade and had acquired the reputation of being hopelessly stupid, both teacher and parents were severe in their treat ment of the children. thinking thus to arouse them to action. found that 1n their sleping they had great difficul. ty in breathing, and were tossing about throughout the whole night.

WORLDS BIGGEST TREE.
Ninety eight Feet Ten Inches Around
 and 300 Feet High.

One evening five or six weeks ago Richard D. Williams of the~Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific railroads; George Le of the Rock Island Rail road company; Charles F. Daly of the Lake Shore and Max Bowman of the Erie were dining together in a down town cafe and spicing the meal with a series of railroad yarns. Daly told a fish story that was a whopper and that stumped his two companions for a while. Then Bowman came back with a bear story that would have done credit to Munchausen.
 'Well I'm not telling any bear or fish stories',' said Williams a minute later. "but can tell you fellows a few things about big trees. I know you don't believe all you hear about the giant redwoods, even if you have seen them. Do you know that the Grizzly giant redwood contains enough lumber to build box that would encase the Masonic temple?"
 Daly, Lee and Bowman laughed.
 Williams turned red and added ''Well, that's right
 "Why, man it would take dozen of those big trees to furnish enough lumber for that purpose, said Daily.
 "A dozen" exclaimed Williams, "No, sir; nor half dozen. One will do it. Why that Grizzly giant is more than 80 feet in circumference and 300 feet high"
 The three doubters laughed again.
 ''I'Il bet you each new Panama hat on it." said Williams as he threw down his napkin and pushed back his chair.
 Taken" said the others.
 The railroad men agreed to accept the word of Honest John" Horsburgh of San Francisco. They telegraphed him to go to Mariposa grove measure the Grizzly Giant and send the tape with an affidavit to Chicago.
 A few days ago Williams received a letter from San Francisco. It contain ed long paper ribbon and~a legal looking document, which read that James Horsburgh, being duly sworn, etc, declared he twas in the Mariposa Big Tree Grove, Yosemite valley, Ma tonal park. California. and that he then and there, in the presence of sev- era1 witnesses. measured the big tree known as Sequoia gigantea, popularly called the Grizzly Giant and that '. found the girth of said tree at height of five feet from the ground to fe 0S feet 10 inches4 and. further, that the string attached to the affidavit is the identical piece with which he meas ured said tree and that it required the entire piece to make the circumfer- ence."-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

A good many people who cannot be
 accused of boodling, nevertheless are sticking their hands down in the pock-
 cts of the people just at this time.
 Nearly every man who is high enough
 up on the pay rolls of the government
 seems to be seized with an insane de
 sire to go out on junketing trip this summer at the expense of the people. The secretary of the navy, not long ago,
 took out a big bunch of congressman and took a whiz around the West In
 dies on a government vessel, and the
 people paid the bill. Not long ago the
 members of congress who were on the naval affairs committee in the last house, took a government vessel and
 started out on junket with the osten- sible purpose of inspecting the different Qualifications along the coast of the country, and the naval needs of the
 country. What right these members have to make the people pay for any such trip is more than any man can tell. There is no official naval commit tee in existence, so far as the house of
 representatives is concerted. How do
 these men know they will be placed on 1 the committee on naval affairs when 1 the next house is organized? They do
 not know it, and yet they are squander- ing the peoples money for the ostensi-
 ble purpose of posting themselves on
 the needs of the people in the way of snaval, expenditures. The chances are l they will see more thigh balls than i they will cannon balls.

The attention of Secretary Cortel- you and the department of commerce, whose business it is to obtain and pub fish facts against the trusts, has been called to at least one great trust that is doing business openly and in most brazen defiance of the laws. The Iron Age of July 25 contains details of the Steel Billet Pool.' This trust is a revival of the association which has, at intervals, been doing business for many years. The members of this new pool are the United States Steel corpor- ation, Jones & Laughlin Steel Go, Wheeling Steel and Iron Go, Cambria Steel Go, Lackawanna Steel Go, Penn sylvania Steel Go and Maryland Steel Go. Meetings are. held, at New York every day, at which inquiries and sales are regularly reported. The agreement refers exclusively to prices, which have been established for the principal points of consumption, and which are quoted in the Iron Age. This trust, like it's prototypes, the steel-rall pool, the sheet-steel association, and dozens of others, with which the Unit ed States Steel corporation is mixed up, are trusts in every sense of the word, not only under the Sherman antitrust law, but in the eyes of the common law. All the department has to do is to obtain, in legal manner, the facts as published in regard to all these trusts and the attorney general will have no trouble in squelching them
 Why are these great law-breakers not now at the bar of justice? Are tho trusts above the laws2
