The national Democratic convention
at St. Louis last week nominated Alton

and Henry G. Davis, Of West Virginia

ballot showed large majority for Judge
Parker, which resulted in his nomination.

The nominees come before the Ameri-
can people with spotless records. They
do not appear as braggadocio warriors
and men of great achievements, but as
able, learned, and honest citizens, who
/ have the interest and welfare of their
country at heart, and will never allow
fheir efforts to relax in serving the people
sof the greatest country or the globe.
The people of the United States have a
duty to perform. Roosevelt and his hire

With a are-united Democracy, and stand

the Democratic banner and triumphantly
follow our noble leader on to victory.

Widows IN China.

According to the laws Of good society
in China, young widows should not re.
marry. Widowhood is therefore held
in the highest esteem and the older the
widow grows the more agreeable hes
position becomes. Should she reach
fifty years she may, by applying to the
emperor, get a sum Of money with
which to buy a tablet on which bel
virtues are named. The tablet Is then
placed over the door Of the principal
entrance OF her house.

Mistake Of q Blind Boa Constructor.

stead Of q rabbit, which was also with
in reach, and it was only with great
dificulty that it was forced to dissorge
this singular article Of food. A snakes
tongue is therefore not an organ OF

it is more probably delicate organ OF
touch.-Chambers Journal.

NOVEL PRISON REFORM.
Italy Proposes Compensation for Men
Who Have Been UnjustIy
Condemned.

A new criminal bill is about to be
discussed in Italy, and it is thought
in Rome that it will be passed. It
proposes to concede to those found
to have been unjustly condemned to
prison an indemnity to be decided
upon by the courts, says report to the
Chicago Tribune. =
If the person has been in prison
through real judicial error the indem-
nifty will in some way correspond to
the financial loss which he and his
family have sustained, while. if he has
been condemned through the bad faith
of third person, through false testi-
mony (for which, of course, the court
which condemned him is not respon-
sible), the indemnity will be less, but
at least he will have the wherewithal to
begin life anew.
1t has been proposed to indemnify
those living when the law passes who
have already-been released from un-
merited cond dennations, or the families
of those who have died while undergo
ing unjust sentence.

NAPoLEon's MAGIC TABLE. j,
Wonderful Piece of Furniture whisA
Was the Pride of the French 4
Emperor. 81

Napolean's magic table is one of
the greatest curiosities from the
time of the great emperor, who had It
in his study at the castle of St. Cloud.
After the death of Napoleon it was
bought in London by Baron Rehau-
sen, Swedish ambassador to the court
of st. James at that time. Itsis now
owned through Inheritance by one
of the foremost families of the Swed-
ish nobility, says the Strand Maga-
zine. Inside the drawer of the table
is pasted an old slip on which is
printed description, which in mod
ernized English reads as follows: 'sThe
Emperor Napoleon was highly de-
lighted with this extraordinary work
OF art. 1t formed the SURFACE of one
of the tables in his study, and was
always shown to all foreigners of dis
tinctiop who visited the imperial
court. II is a painting whose resem-
blance to what it represents is the
most elusive ever produced by. the
genius of man. One may look at this
strange production of art in differ
ent lights-the pieces of money, the
fragments of broken glass, the PEN
knife, water and cards retain an
equally Elusive appearance as the OBJ
server moves round the table-but it
requires a very minute examination
to discover all the truly magical won
ders It possesses" In. these times.
when relics of Napoleon 1. are eager
ly sought for, the present where
abouts of this masterpiece should GER
tainly interest all connoisseurs.

London, Feb. 1S.-Dispatches
published in London newspapers
this morning continue to give ie-
scriptions of the EN- barking OF jap
anese troops. Instead of this EN-.
barkation occurring secretly from
Ujina, as was the case during the
China Japanese Wac, the transports
according to dispatches published
in the Daily Telegraph and the
Daily Mail, are openly embarking
troops from Nagasaki, Moi, Kobe,
and elsewhere.
A cablegram to the Daily Tele.
graph from Nagasaki says troops
are clearing every night from those
ports for Corea, and ten large steam
ers were embarking troops from
Nagasaki last Monday. All arms
of the service were represented, but
the cavalry horses were such sorry
and scrubby ponies that they seem
ed hardly worth transportation.
The embarkations are all remarka-
bly, we'll managed. Numerous
small srmans (little harbor boats) J
as we'll as ordinary boats suitable
for being used, are tewed into shal.
low water or through ID heavy surf
and taken on transports. In con-
clusion, this correspondent says the
harbor of Nagasaki has been mined
Cabling from Shanghai under
date Of February II, correspond
ent of the Daily Telegraph declare:

anese fleet and large landing fore;

The reports that the Japanes'
have captured the East Asiati'
Company's steamer Manchuria,. a

er, are confirmed.

WANTS FARMERS TO W RITE.
Their Congressman and Urge the Pass
age Of the Coed Roads Bill.

EQ1tO1 INES:
As have seen nothing in the
papers for a long time on the suq-
ject of good roads. please allow me
to set the ball rolling by contribut-
ing few thoughts on the subject
caused by reading a copy of the
Brownlow bill now pending in con-
gress. To bnild and maintain good
roads costs more than the average
farmer is able or willing to pay,
lheneeAthe only solution in my opin-
ion is to ask for government aid.
There is no more rea son why the
government should not appropriate
some of its surplus millions to the
building of good roads than to ap-
propriate it for the Improvement of
rivers and harbors. If appropriat-
ed for the building of good roads it
would benefit the farmers more
directly and to a much greater de-
gree than if spent for Improvement
of rivers and harbors. IF the mat
ter were left to a vote of the farm
ers as to which an appropriation
should be for, rivers and harbors or
good roads. there is not a question
of doubt but that good roads would
carry ten to one.
This being the case, let me ask,
why is it we have not had govern
ment aid long ago? In my opinion
it is because the farmers as class
are not in close enough touch with
their representation in congress and
do not let their W ants be known.
Two years ago bill was introd-
uced in congress by Hon. J. Obey of
Virginia, providing for an appro-
priation of $1oo, 600, 900 for build
ing good roads, but it failed to pass
simply because the farmers Of the
United States did not push it.
The present bill now pending in
congress introduced by Hon. W. P.
Brownlow provides for an appro-
priation of S24, 900, 900 to be dis
tributed among the states and ter
ritories according to population. A
much more equitable distribution
in my judgment would be on a
basis of the mileage of country
roads, and I would like to see the
bill so amended, but at the same
time I would not like to see the pas
sage of the bill endangered On ac-
count of this amendment. 1t is a
move in the right direction and all
that is necessary to have the bill
pass. is for the farmers of the Unit
ed States to make their wants
known. Let every farmer consid-
er himself committee of one to
write to his congressman asking
them to vote for the Brownlow bill.
II this is done it will leave no un-
certain effect in their minds as to
the wishes of their constituents.
In conclusion, l wish to say that
I have about hundred copies of
the Brownlow bill for distribution.
|! and all farmers who feel interested
may have copy of the bill by call
ing at my feed barn, in north end
of Corvallis.
Yours for good roads,
! C.. D. ABBOTT.

WHY Girls Go Armed in Elgin.


Pretty young women Of Elgin have
resorted to practice that has caused
the Mayor of the town to 60 about
holding up his hands in dismay and
predicting all kinds Of dire calamities
The girls have taken to shooting
irons, and the hardware men have told
the Mayor that they have cleaned out
their stores of everything from a toy
derringer to breechloading shotgun.
They are now practicing on different
objects, and the Mayor is afraid some
brother, husband or sweetheart will be
filled with lead. He says that no one
in the city limits is safe, and is sure
that some down in Clintonville or up
at Dundee will be killed.
1t all came from the act Of an Elgin
girl who drew bead on a tramp who
tried to push past her into the house.
The Weary Willie put up the best
sprint that was ever heard Of in the
town, the papers gave up space to the
incident, and now every woman in the
town Is determined to emulate her grit.
