Coughing Spell Caused Death.

Harry Duckwell. aged % years,
choked to death early yesterday morn
ing at his home, in the presence of his
wife and child. He contracted slight
cold few days ago and paid but little
attention to it. Yesterday morning he
was seized with a fit of coughing which
continued for some time. His wife
sent for physician but before he could
arrive, another coughing spell came on
and Duckwell died from suffocation.-

The returns are all in at last and
show that President Roosevelt defeated
Judge Parker by 2,546, 1863 votes Pres
ident Roosevelt polled the largest vote
ever given President of the United
States-7 ,640,560. His majority over
all candidates was 1,747,0l0. His vote
exceeded McKinley's in 1900 by more
than 100000. This little batch of sta
tistics proves that Roosevelt and Roose-
welt policies are heartily endorsed by
the people. The attempt to prove the
contrary falls fiat. While it is ev-
identity true that Judge Parker was not
strong candidate the fact remains
that he was before the people without
an issue. 1t was simply threshing
over, of old straw, and on that plat
form Bryan himself would have been
defeated as decisively as was Parker
worse, perhaps, had he succeeded in
working in his old hobby, the l6 toll
plank. However the war is over. The
dear people will now quietly await the
contest of 190S-not without some
curiosity as to the composition OF the
next Democratic platform.

That was cruel joke Corvallis girl
pleyed on her mother recently. She
accidently found love letter that her
father had written to her mother, in
halcyon days of courtship. She read it
to her mother, substituting her own
name aud that of her lover. The
mother raved with anger, and stamped
her feet with disgust and forbade her
mother having anything more to do
with fellow who would write such
sickening, nonsensical stuff. Then the
girl gave the letter to her mother 10
read and suddenly the house grew SC
quiet that she could hear the grass
grow in the back yard.

A wel.known United States Senator, f,
who apparently has his best eye on the
iuture-not the future beyond the
grave-has introduced bill providing
for an increase in Presidential and Con-
sressional salaries. He would raise
the salary of the President to 100000
per year, that OF the Vice President
and Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives to $4,000, and Senators aud
Representatives to l0,00n This meas
ure will hardly be endorsed by the peo-
ple. These offices do not go a-begging
at the present salaries. On the con-
trary, there is always a redhot scrim-
mage for them in every state in the
Union. And, as rule, every state is
represented in Congress by its cleanest
and brainiest men. II Senator Stewart
of Nevada, the author of this bill, isn't
satisfied with his rake-of, let him step
aside. He will find plenty Of men Just
ms good as himself, willing to fill his
shoes at the same old price, This is
true of every United States Senator
and Congressman neither is there a
shortage of Presidential timber at
$50 200 per. This attempt to bull the
brains market is unseemly and un-
timely.

Department for the fiscal year ending

Smooth Writeup Fakir and His Coarse
Methods.

MSIStOQSs
From Fridays Daily.
The public is once more im%portuned
by an advertising ''fakir," who ap-
peared in the city some weeks ago
with a scheme to write up" the town
and the of the county. BY
mean of quite a large dose of smooth
talk he inveigled certain business IN
situations of the city to subscribe to
his plan to make a bunch OF easy
money and their credited endorsement
| of the scheme encouraged others to
| fall in line in a matter which to the
ordinary run of humanity looked like
something which would be of benefit
to the community.
The people who were among the
first subscribers to the writeuI
scheme, according to an authoritative
statement made today to The Gazette
never gave permission for the use o
their names as fathering the method
introduced by one Smith to secure II
legitimate advertising, or become sur
