DEATH OF J. M. CHURCH.
A Useful Citizen Of Oregon - Was a
Regent Of 0AC.

Jonas M. Church, of La Grande,
one of the best known men in Ore
gon, died at St. Vincent's Hospital
Portland, at S:3o Sunday morning
as result of internal injuries re-
ceived from a fall in Salem Thurs
day morning. Mr.. Church, who
was II years old, slipped on a tres
tie while walking from his hotel to
the depot in Salem and broke his
jaw, besides receiving internal in
jury, the extent of which could not
be ascertained. Mr.. Church came
to Oregon in 1860, since which
time he*has been prominent in the
business affairs of the state. He
was serving his second term as a
regent of the State Agricultural
College. which term would not
have expired until 1912. The Ore
genian has this estimate Of him:
Zone of the most useful citizens
of Oregon was J. M. Church, of
La Grande. He was actuated al
ways by a high and true motive.
He was one Of those men, always,
upon whom community may de-
pend, for judgment, for counsel
and for public snirit. There is loss
through his death, not only to the
Gown and county where he lived,
but to the whole state. -

FIRE ON FALL CREEK.
Charley earns Looses His Roms-To
be Replaced by Friends.

= Charley earns, who resides on a
homestead on Fall Greek, was in
town Saturday evening for the pur-
pose of acquiring a new wardrobe.
Part of the clothing he was wearing
at the time was borrowed. He was
brought to the necessity of borrow
ing as a result of a fire which en-
tire1y destroyed his home and all
its contents last week. Mrs. earns
was visiting here at the time of the
misfortune. Mr.. earns left the
premises for a short time ii search
Of alcow. and when he came i'll
sight of his home on his return be-
held the house il a mass Of flames.
He hurried on and made heroic
efforts to rescue portion of his
household effects, btlt all were
guarded by the flames with fiendish
desperation.
The house was a 1ightly-built,
tWo-story structure and it required
but a brief time for the fire to re
duce it to heap of ashes. Neigh
bors discovered the smoke and
large cinders which had been car
ried away from the scene, and hur-
ried thither, but they arrived too
late to be of service in extinguish-
ing the flames.
AS Charley came aut to join his
wife he met a number of friends at
a sawmill in Alsea who were pre-
pairing to cut logs which were to
be sawed into lumber for new
house to replace the one burned.
An offer of Mr.. earns to remain
and assist in the work was politely
rejected. Material for the new
home is to be hoated down the AL
sea river to the mouth of Fall Creek.
Thence it, will be conveyed by.
teams distance of three miles to
Mr.. carn's homestead.

When you wake up in the morning.
And do not feel just right,
You settle down to breakfast -
With want of appetite.
There is nothing that is better
To revive your sinking soul,
Than a cup of Seal Brand coffee
Steaming in the flowing bowl.
It is Seal Brand coffee
Don't forget the special brand,
Its such splendid seller;
And our patrons call it "Grand.' y

You will find it out of sight
All our customers want it,

-Superintendent Fields and
Master Mechanic Younger, of the
Southern Pacific, came over from
Albany Sunday evening on the
funeral train. On the following
morning they boarded their special
car and began an inspection of the
S. P. Westside lines. -
IS. A. D. Puter, says a Salem
Dispatch, convicted of conspiracy
to defraud the Government in tim
ber-land cases, and under indict-
ment on further charges, was caught
today in an attempt to secure title
to 5000 acres of state school land
in violation of law, and the State
Land Board has s., 900 of his good
money and evidence sufficient to
show the fraudulent nature of the
transaction.
The funeral of the late Edwin
Stone at Albany last Sunday, was
great demonstration of the esteem
in which he was held in various
parts of the state and elsewhere.
Friends came from Montana, As
toria, Portland, and all points on
the c & E railroad to emphasize,
with their presence at the inter
ment, their regard for him. Three
crowded railroad coaches carried
his friends from Corvallis and
points along the West side. The
funeral was under the direction of
the Masonic order and of the order
of Elks. .s---
"A demonstration of, the earn
estness of students in making
large contribution toward the erect
ion of the proposed Christian Asso-
clat1on building on the college
grounds, having been given, it is
desirable that the citizens of Cor
wallis be given the opportunity of
expressing themselves upon the
subject. To this end a mass meet
ing is called for Friday evening at
1890, at the court house. Three
prominent speakers from Portland
will be present. Those in charge
of the union meetings at the Pres
byterian- church will lend their
musical and oratorica1 forces to en-
hanse the interest of the citizens
meeting. There ought to be de-
monstration worthy of the high
aims of the projectors.

THHE term 'tea-gown'' is aIluringly
suggestive, including, as it does,
not only the garb. but all the sur
roundings and concomitants that
serve to give It its particular charm.
One can easily bring to mind picture Of
a coy parlor, a bright fire, dainty
silver tea-set on a silver tray, cup Of
oeliciously Favored tea, a charming
hostess and an informal chat. with dash
OF gossip. Or perhaps one can fancy
substantially the same surroundings on
Z. cool. shady veranda on q warm sum
rner day in the country. The hostess, if
sttired in the proper tea-gown, win ap-
pear so comfortable, so much at her
ease and so attractive withal that con-
versation can never flag. nor spirits
droop Such situations with such sur
roundings cannot but be delightful, and

way. 1t is restful, refreshing and most
agreeable But it is not nearly so COM
mon with us as it is in England, where
st is generally regular thing. Possibly
the custom viii gradually grow here,
which is greatly to be desired.
AS / have said. the hostess would. Of
course, be expected to be arrayed in a
real tea-gown, which may be simple or
elaborate. but must be cozy, comfortable
and graceful-something TO rest the eye,
and consequently rest to the tired
brain. OF course, the gown should be
something more than merely easy and
graceful, it must be well made. harmo-
nious and appropriate, and of superior
material. Such a gown is, no doubt, a
luxury, but I think we are entitled to
some Injuries, and this particular ex-
travagance gives pleasure, not only to
ourselves. but to our friends as well.
And after all it need not be such a very
expensive affair. 1t can be simply made.
and graceful lines cost no more than
stif and straight lines. In France, the
tea-gown Is much more generally worn
than IL is here. Both the material and
the cost Of making are much less than
here. But after all the main thing is
the design, which sometimes calls forth
the greatest efforts Of the most celebrated
makers, or sometimes is the product Of
the individual skill and taste of the
wearer. In France a young lady's trous-
seau VIII always contain several tea
gowns, some of which. are simple. while
some are more or less elaborate. The
latter can frequently be worn at dinner
and in the evening, unless there are in
vited guests. Tea-gowns are usually
made somewhat low in the neck, the

IN Paris are Worth and Paquin and a
great rivalry exists between them.
Worth, who makes the gowns for
crowned heads and millionaires. is fa-'
nous for his tea-gowns. Paquin. who is
a Breton peasant by birth, still retains
his fondness for the peasants combina-
ton of colors, and his favorite model for
a gown was Of black velvet with gold
bands around the bottom Of the skirt,
which the Breton peasants are wearing
to this day. At one time this effect was
very much the mode in Paris. but Worth,
who knew the origin of these ideas, has
since insisted on a narrow skirt without
trimming. and OF soma other material
than velvet.

trayed is 4 copy Of a gown made by

sleeves either long or reaching only to
the elbow, tight over the bust, and hang
ing straight down with apparently no
waist line. 1 say apparently, there really
is no waist line, but the dress must be
cut to form a graceful slope from the
bust to the floor. In some cases this is
effected by having a boneless lining fit
ting the figure closely, while the outer
dress may hang quite loosely. Frequent
ly there is a tight lining bodice and
sometimes two underskirts. While there
are many different kinds of tea-gowns,
the. style that seems to me to be the
most effective is what is called the
Empire gown. In this gown the lines
are extremely graceful, flowing and easy.
type of this kind is shown in the
illustration of the triple gown,
which appears to be so flowing
and simple. while in reality it is a very
elaborate one, although it is made for
comfort as well as beauty. 1t is really
three gowns, the first of which, or the
under gown, is of blue Liberty satin. and
is made to fit well across the bust, but
is loose, although with a slight curve at

verging thence, the flare out to the
bottom of the gown. The same effect is
carried out in the front of the dress.
but only two strips of insertion are used
there Over all OF this is an outer dress
of cream Cor perhaps it may be called
ecru) colored net lace In the illustra-
ton this outer dress opens in front and
hangs loosely from the bust giving a
very graceful effect. The whole conn
binaticn. with the faint motif of silver,
IS wonderfully attractive. The sleeves
are made of the lace, with little chif-
fon pun at the top, on which are three
dainty blue satin bows. but they are left
open down the middle part of the arm
and caught up at the wrist in a little
cuff, which also has three satin bows.
1t is cut low in the neck, where 1t is
softened by soft chiffon. Around the
bust very delicate light blue chiffon is
drawn quite tight and fastens in front
in a knot with long ends, which reach
to the floor. The ensemble is flowing,
graceful and extremely pretty. A gown
like this can be worn without corsets,
