Two New Wonders.

Two discoveries along agri-
cultural lines have just been an
nounced, both calculated to work
wonders. The first is a seedless
apple. Several bushels of these
apples from Colorado are on ex-
hibition at the St. Louis Fair.
The apple tree is blossomless, and
the fruit is free from worms and
hardy enough to endure the Sc
verest frost. The blossomless
feature of the new tree is one of
its most striking peculiarities,
and will make it a favorite with
fruit growers, especially in cold
climates Already seedless apple
nurseries have been started in sew
eral states and seed1ess apple buds
are in great demand.
The second wonder is new

ish wrinkled exterior. An acre
produced 8, 500 pounds as com:
pared with 5000 pounds of early
rose planted side by side. A
great increase in potato and ap'
pie production will result if these
two discoveries can be brought
into general use.

THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
A Public Necessity that Should
be Soon Completed.

be Soon Completed.
Some adverse criticism has de-
veloped in regard to the PROPOSE
ton to construct the new electric
road. This criticism happily is
confined to only a few and most
ly those who live adjacent to the
proposed route and their only
criticism is that the cars will
scare the horses. In the first
place the road ought to be built
for the very important reason
that it is a public necessity.
Corvallis needs it, Monroe needs
it and every citizen interested
in the development of the county
needs it. Shall a halt dozen
men stand in the way o. an i'm
provement that means millions
of dollars to the community and
in which several thousand citi-
zens are interested? 1t ought
not to be so. All Improvements
are for the good of the majority
and the minority ought to sub
NIT. Furthermore the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company has
a decided right-of-way between
Corvallis and Monroe that cuts
through fields, across the public
highway. through barnyards,
dooryards, etc., and if ever used,
as it very likely will be if the
electric road is not put in, will
be source of far more inconven-
ience to the farmers along the
| way than the electric road. The
Southern Pacific right-of-way
cuts right through the barnyard
of one of the principal objectors
to this electric road. The elec-
trio cars are not one-fourth as
noisy or dangerous as the rail-
wav train, The electric car can
be stopped within ten feet where
as the railway train requires
nearly a hundred yards. The
fare on the electric cars will be
about one cent a mile, on the rail
way cars three cents. The
farmer can bring his produce te
town for very little more thar
the cost of feeding his horse:
were he to come to town with
his team. If it comes to a choice
between the Southern Pacific
Company and the Electric Rail
way Company we ought not tt
hesitate a single instant in tavo
of the latter. AS to the right-of
way along the public road, th'
county has as much right to i
as many or all of the farmer
along the way. This is terri
torial road SO feet wide and i
public property, but some of tn
property owners along the wa,
have moved their fences out I.
Iteet on each side until the roat
in such places is now only 81

row let these same persons NOV
their fences back to where the,
belong and there will be room
enough. By all means let u
have the road if we can get it
1t will mean much more to tn
future generations than it mean
to US. Property along the wa.
will increase in value man,

The road will very likely b

future. Colonel J. G. Wilson

dy, of Eugene, are in the cit,

to view the right-of-way. Thes
gentlemen state positively tha
the line is a certainty and no

Death OF Robert Taber.
From the Dramatic News.

Robert Taber, whose notable work
on the stage won much admiration
both in England and America, died
of tuberculosis of the throat at Sara
nae Lake, N. Y, on March 8. His
illness had been a long one. though
it was only few weeks before his
death that his condition became
alarming to his friends. Four years
ago, iL London, he suffered a severe
attack OF pneumonia, from heeff9cts
OF which he never fully recovered.
During the present winter his malady
developed into tuberculosis of the
throat, and his phV sician4, realizing
that he had but a few months tolive,
advised him to return to America
He arrived in New York a month
ago, and after spending some time
with his sister, Mrs. Henry Holt, he
went to Saranac Lake, accompanied
by his mother and physician. The
change of air proved of no avail, and
he sank gradually until death came
to him.
Mr.. Tabpr was born on Staten
Island in 1865, and was a son of the
late C. c. Ta Der, a wealthy cotton
merchant. He received his early ed
ucation in New York, and later went
to Princeton University from which
institution he was graduated. His
fathers desire was that he should
enter the legal profession, but young
Taber had becomeinterested. through
private theatrical performances, in
the art of the stage, and he deter
mined to become an actor. After
studying for two years at the Ly-
ceum School of Acting he appeared,
in 1886, in support OF Madame Mod
jeska in a performance of AS You
Like 1t, given in this city for the ben
eft of the Polish exiles. He played
the role of Sylvus upon that occa-
sion, and SO pleased Madame Mod
jeska by his performance that she en-
gagged him for her company. He
made his regular debut with her in
the same year as Anxious in As You
Like 1t.
Mr.. Taber remained with Madame
Modjeska for two seasons, playing
Antonio in Much Ado About Moth
ing, Gustavo in Cami lie, Duke Fred
erick in AS You Like Ii, and Claudio
in Measure tor Measure. 10 the last
canned part he made a notable sue
cess. Following his engagement with
Madame MOdirska Mr. Taher ap-
peared, in the autumn of 1888, with
Julia MarlOwe, whom he atterward
married, and during the next three
seasons he played successfully with
Mrs. John Drew, Richard Mansfield
William Terriss, the COghlans, and
with. Augnstin Days company. In
1891 he returned to Miss MarIow's
company, becoming her leading man,
and in May, 1894, Mr.. Taber and
Miss Marlowe We're married.
For two seasons Mr.. and Mrs. Tab
err appeared together as co-stars, MIR.
Taber playing with much success
Orlando, MalvoIo, Romeo, Claud
Melnotte ana other famous leading
roles. Then, in 1897, the contract
was signed by the terms of which Mr..
and Mrs. Taber were barred from ap-
pearing in the same company, and
Mrs. Taber became again an individ-
ual star. Mr.. Taber went to London
in 1898, and remained there until
the time Of his last illness. ln Deem
Der, 1899, Mr.. and Mrs. Taber we're
divorced.

times to give short weight in bread ex-

ARKANSAS MAN /
 ENDS HIS LIFE.
Worlds Fair Grounds Scenf of Another Suicide Dead Nan
 From Pine Bluff. J

St. Louis, July 29. Within full view of a Jefferson guard Theo- dore Kinerle, aged 21, whoVcame to St. Louis about two weeks ago from Pine Bluff, Ark, with Jos. Sewald, shot and killed himself on the Worlds Fair grounds to- day. Kinerle fired one shotAinto the air, as though to test \ his pistol, and then sent the sedbnd into his brain. Death was Hin- stantaneous.
 In the dead mans pocket vas found a letter addressed to his chum, Sewald. It read: "I am tired of life. Your money is in bank in my name, $110. This belongs to you. 1 wish to be planted in this city by the union. and you will see that my grave is kept green. Don't write my people, for they won't answer me any more.

MRS. HILLHOUSE'S
 MUSICAL CONCERT.

The concert given in the par lors of the Hazel Friday evening under the direction of Mrs. c. A. Hillhouse for the benefit of the building fund of St. Paups church attracted a large crowd of friends, who are ever inter- ested in the entertainments of our home talent.
 The program was beautifully carried out, every number call-- ing forth applause, and though much pleasure had been anticipa- ted, these premonitions were not adequate to the enjoyment of the evening. We regret that space and compliment may not be de- voted to each number, so richly is this deserved.
 However, it would hardly do to skip Master Wiley McMinn's songs, given in his sweet and unperturbed childish voice that completely captured his audi ence. He is always very cute and his serious airs lose none of their effectiveness in such public appearances.
 Mrs. Hillhouse is to be con- graduated on the success of her entertainment, for the program rendered was a creditable pro- duction, representative of the city's best talent.
