THE FISHERMAN'S LIFE.

Sweet and low
The winds do blow
Over the calm and peaceful sea.
The sky is blue.
And true
To the fishermen Of the sea.
The little white house
In the distance you see
Is the home of fisherman and me:
In little old home
We live all alone,
Fisherman and me.
In the morning ia ther doth arise.
Before the sun peeps out of the sky,
And In his boat
He goes ahOat
On the wide and beautiful sea.
At evening when he returns from his work,
OF which he has not shirked,
He sits by the fire,
And pretty well tired
Falls asleep In his old arm chair.

After CrefieId's Scalp.

The officers of Corvallis are
determined to have Joshua Gre
field. Nobody who cares to tell
seems to know just where he is,
but there is a strong suspicion
that he is not very far away.
Perhaps he has completely dis
appeared and his victims are left
to care for themselves.
Lest public interest should
wane in the matter substantial
increase has been added to the re-
ward offered for his capture.
Four hundred dollars is the
sum now offered for Creheld, who
is 80 years of age, light hair,
carrying a bible, and talking
brokenly in Swedish. If he is
near Corvallis his followers should
be closely shadowed by the Off
GERS. If he is at a distance the
federal authorities should mark
and examine all mail matter pass.
ing between interested parties.
The county sheriff is doing
wise thing in flooding the coun-
try with Crefeld's likeness, and
substantial reward coupled with
a thorough advertisement of this
kind will at least drive him from
the haunts of civilized man.
A band of religious zealots has
appeared near Chicago, says an
exchange, very similar to the
Oregon Holy Rollers, the women
going with unkempt hair and the
men with uncombed boards.

Mirage Near Siiverton.

On Howell Prairie, a few miles
from this city, may be seen some
thing Of a phenomenon, which is
called a mirage. an optical illu-
sion arising from the unequal
aerial refraction which causes re-
mote objects to seem double, as
if reflected in mirror or body of
water.
This we understand was dis
covered many years ago, but few
people are aware of the tact that
such conditions really exist in
that vicinity, and few have taken
the pains to investigate. A. Whit
locks attention was attracted by
the phenomenal conditions while
riding along the road recently,
and since having called attention
to the matter quite a little inter-
est has been aroused. Sunday
Prof. J. Buff and c. N. Matlock
wheeled out to the scene of the
mirage, and found it of sufficient
importance to be really interest

the matter. l especially desire
the cooperation OF the ladies OF
