SEVENTEEN INCHES FELL.
In Four Months-Corvallis Rainfall
| Totals for Past Three Years.

Four of the wet months of the
present rainy season have passed,
and the rainfall at eight o'clock on
the morning of January 1st, was
about ope-half the entire rainfall
Of the year 1908. It was less thao
one-third of the total rainfall of
1902, which was the heaviest pre-.
cipitation in several years. The
four months in question were SEP
tember. October, November and
December. The total precipitation
during the period wasA7 inches as
follows: September. 81 inches, Oct
ober 1873 inches; November 1882
inches; December 3 o8.
For the same four months the
year before, the total was 24.o2
inches as follows, September 1.16
inches; October III inches; No
vember 1928 inches; Decembe,
e.o2 inches. During November
and December of that year the
total was 2f.1 5 inches, or tar more
than one third of the to'al rainfall
of the year, and nearly two-thirds
of the total precipitation for the en-
tire twelve months of 1908.
! During the last four months oi
1901, the total rainfall was 1874
inches, or a little less than the
sgme four months in ss1eo3. The
figures are as follows: September
2.72; October, 2.24; November
Gar; December 500.
The total rainfall for the twelv,
months ending December 13, 1901

PERMANENCE OF CURE.
The Chief Merit.

Many so-called pile remedies will afs ford the user slight temporary relief and the majority of sufferers do not expect more than this. Women espe- cially. after having tried every precau- ton recommended for the cure of Piles, have come to the conclusion that there Is no cure except by an operation. This Is rightfully viewed with dread, be- cause of the shock to the delicate ner- vous system of women, and many of those afflicted have resigned themselves to the situation with never a thought that there is any help in sight for them.
 We invite the attention of all such to the experience of the lady whose ad- dress is given below: f-
 Il fell 1t my duty to recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure. for after suffering ten years with a most distressing form of Piles, l am entirely cured, thanks to this remedy. Anyone doubting this can write to Margaret Brady, 156 whitman St., Cleveland. Ohio"
 Ten months later she writes: T am glad to say that I am still perfectly free from Piles, and have not had the slightest trouble since I first used your remedy. l am well known in Cleve- land and have advertised Pyramid Pile Cure extensively here. l take pleas ure in doing so as 1t saved me from an operation. which I always dreaded. and you are assured the remedy can have no firmer advocate than l."
 Testimony like this should convince the most skeptical. that Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures. but cures to stay cured. It is in the form of a supposi- tory; can be applied in the privacy of the home. directly to the parts affected. and does its work quickly and pain lessly.
 Druggists sell this famous remedy for fifty cents package, and we urge all sufferers to Nbuy package now and give 1t trial tonight Accept no Sub stitutes.
 Write Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall, Mich, for their little book on the cause and cure of Piles. which is sent free for the asking. tu-su.

Au8mtuteo FOtic0 Force Found Little
 Row dyism in ,Faix District,
 The police docket at midnight show ing only four arrests for disorderiy conduct since o'clock showed that the Street Fair crowds have been on the whole unusually good natured and or derly.
 The police force was doubled in the Fair district and there were enough officers to see any disorder that might take place. but there was little row- dyism. The management of the Street Fair was especially pleased that every thing should have passed off ro smoothly on the opening night.
 Mr. Sullivan. chairman of the exec utive committee of the Eagles. said that the management of the carnival is determined to have the Fair district in a condition that will be nothins but pleasing to ladies and children II. He said that every effort would be made, both by the police force of Mont- gomery and the management of the Fair to suppress all disordArly Der. sons. '-- ".

D1scussed Improvement on Capitol, But
 No Action Taken.
 A special meeting of the State Capt. tol Building Commission. called by Governor Cunningham. was held in his ofnce beginning at o'clock yesterday afternoon. but no decisive action was taken looking to the Improvements contemplated on the statehouse
 All members of the Commission, Gov ernor Cunningham. Attorney General Wilson, Secretary Of State McDavid. Auditor sowell. 'Traesurer Smith and Secretary Thomas M. Owen, were pres ent.
 Attorney-General Wilson made a re- port of the status sof. the proceedings to condemn the south half of the Capt. tol square for the States use. The mat ter was discussed at. some length by members of the Commission, but it was unanimously decided that nothing was to be done until the matter was finally determined by the courts.
 It will be recalled that the Board of Appraisers fixed the value of the prop- erty at s4s. 800. which the State has In. dicated is satisfactory. The property owners have thirty days within which to file an appeal from, the decision of the Probate Court of Montgomery County, which decreed that the State should possess the property at this price.

ARMIES ARE IN SIGHT.
Only 800 Faces Separate the Enemies
 In Manchuria.

Mukden via Pekin, Oct. 31.-The ri- val armies arc only 600 paees apart. The situation is perhaps the most re- markable in military history, Two armies, each with the other as an ob- jective are approaching while con- structing siege works, the making of which both sides are accelerating, each morning revealing the work done over night to the observatory station on every hill.
 The Japanese after their disaster at Manalon Hill retaliated October 27 by turning the Russians from a pyramid Il hill opposite Fenchiapu. seven miles to the east. The Russians were at tasked from three directions and withstood a loss of sixty per cent from artillery fire on the afternoon of the 27th before they were forced out by the Japanese infantry at night.
 The Japanese abandoned the position Immediately after 1t was taken. This event does not equal in importance the capture of Manalon Hill. The Jap anese. who are posted on a similar hill to the south, appear now to have most determined designs to retrieve the po- sition they abandoned.
 Last night there was the heaviest hombardment of the week from the Russian batteries and the Russians are seemingly apprehensive of a surprise. This bombardment was accompanied by a continuous rifle fire while the infan- try advanced by means of quick en- trenching at intervals of F.w hun dred feet under cover of darkness.
 The outcome of this activity is a tense vigilence along the entire ex- tended front. This tension, taken in rafn ment of the Japanese by one and one half divisions from Port Arthur. Is likely to precipitate a great battle within a few days. The combatants. however, apparently are not disin- clined to winter in their present posi- tions as since the last tour of the Rus sian positions made by the correspond ent of the Associated Press theA forces have adopted a system of winter hous- ing in the field.
 From their immediate bivouacs both armies calmly behold each other and are able to distinguish each others entrenching gangs as they drop their tools when relieved. These observe tions are made from points of vantage immediately outside the range of the artillery, which is intermittent in it's practice against the principal emi- nences.
 Japanese shells are daily breaking on Pagoda Hill which is most conspicuous in the Russian position and in front of which the villagers remain in their houses. indicating that by some prearrangement with the Japanese. their homes will not be shelIed by the latter.
 The Russian forces are disposed as to meet the disposition of the Japanese armies.
 The present plan of Russian opera tions apparently has not been in- fiuenced for the promotion to the po- sitlon of commander in chief of Gen

Pensacola Merchant Did Not Believe in Entrustiug His Cash to the
 Bamks--NO Clue to the Thief

Pensacola, Fla, Oct 3t--(special.)-- Hines Craveys store in the western part of the city was burgiarized last night, and $1,475 was taken therefrom making the largest burglary in point of money loss that has ever occurred in this city. Cravey keeps small store and did not believe in banking his mony, four hundred dollars was property of James Hilton who left last night for Mississippi. The rest belonged to Cravey and he discovered the burglary when he went to the store early today. The fact of the robbery was kept quiet until this afternoon. in the hope that fellow who secured about five hundred dollars gold would attempt to spend it and thus give the officers chance. E.
 Cravey was the last man in his store last night when he went to get sS5 for Hilton who left at II o'clock for Mis- sissIppi. w At that time no one was in the neighborhood apparently. but from evidence worked up 1t appears that the thief secreted himself on the inside and saw Cravey leave the store with out turning the combination of the safe Bloodhounds were placed on the trail but with no success.

The select committee to finance the advertising campaign of the Commer- cial and Industrial Association was an- nounced last night by President A. c. Forbes.
 A great deal of care was exercised in the selection of the committee and at a glance one will realize that the best men in the community are earn astly behind this popular movement.
 Those gentlemen will meet at 5 o'clock this afternoon in the rooms of the association to discuss plans which will be submitted at that time. No subscriptions will be invited by the committee before Wedn esday, alth ough a number of firms have telephoned to the committee voluntarily their desire to be placed upon the s1oo list.
 The committee named yesterday to finance the movement consists of the following we'll known business and professional men: W. M. Teague M. P. LeGrand. T. s. Pinclkard. oastop Gunter. R. J. Chambers.

 No movement In years has had be- hind 1t the popular enthusiasm and interest commanded by this campaign. It is a splendid indication of the faith Montgomerians have in Montgomery.
 The committee were much gratided yesterday by the voluntary subscrip- tion of ss00--s100 year for three years-by T. Dewitt Maxwell, of New York, lessee and manager of the new Exchange Hotel.
 Although Mir. Maxwell is a visitor 10 Montgomery and will not make his home here until the new hotel is com pleted in October. 1905, he declared that the movement to advertise Mont gomery was one that readily appealed to him as future citizen.
 It is a great movement in the right direction said Mir Maxwell, who is at present associated with the Belle claire Hotel in New York City, ''and I esteem 1t a privilege to be of service in helping the movement along. This money will come hack to us a thous- andfold." -h.t
