RUFFIAN CAUGHT
 NEAR SAVlN ROCK

Friday afternoon, in broad daylight, several West Haven women, residing in the locality of Savin avenue. were chased by man. who appeared to be under the influence of liquor. Mrs John Lyman was returning from the [ grove when accosted by the man in | Savin avenue. She ran and was ' chased onto the front piazza of her home where she screamed and fell in a faint. Her screams attracted the attention of Rufus Haynes and ,his son Paul. who live near.
 They with several other neighbors. pursued the man. He ran into the woods followed by the posse. After chasing him for some time Paul Hay nes found him hiding in the bushes. He held him while his father went to the grove and got Officer Robert Mac donald.
 The man gave him name as Charles Maxwell of Orange. He was locked up and will he tried in the borough court this morning.
 Maxwell did not appear to be very drunk when arrested and 1t is thought / by the police. owing to the many rob- berries in West Haven. that he chased the woman with the intention of rob ping her.
 When returning from the White City at 12 o'clock Friday night. Will Ham Thorp. 10 years old. who opera ted a testing scale in the park. was chased by a man who jumped out of the roadside in Savin avenue and chased young Thorp to his home. distance of one block.

Accounts for tho Mystery.

And so the Romans once invaded Great Britain said Miss Gillgal, to whom her Uncle Charles had been reading of Caesars conquests. That accounts for it, then.
 Accounts for what?" asked IJncie Charles.
 For there being so many Latin words which resemble our English ones. The Romans very naturally picked up good many of our expressions while in Eng land. Wonder never thought of that before. ."-Boston Transcript.

taught the Next.
 New York, June 5.-,-By clinging to a clothesline which she struck in her downward flight Miss Rebecca Runni- fin saved herself from probably fatal injury yesterday afternoon when she fell from a rear window of her home on the third floor of 339 Osborn street. East New York. She had been sky larking near the open window with some of her friends when she lost her balance and plunged out.
 AS she fell she threw out her arms wildly in an endeavor to save herself. A clothesline at, the second floor broke the force of her fall and when she struck the one on the floor below she grasped hold of it and held on for life. Luckily the young woman is light and. the clothes line did not give way. It held her in the air a few feet above the ground to which she drop ped safely. Her friends would not believe that she was not unllurt and Dr Glynn was called from St. Mary's hospital. He found her suffering more from fright than anything else.

NEVER BEFORE.
Such a Christmas Rush at
Corvallis Postoffice- Some
thing About It.

1t will probably startle some peo-
pie to know that for the last few
days before Christmas, 40 to 50
sacks of mail were received and
distributed at the Corvallis post
Office. The Christmas rush has
not only been something unprece.
dented, but entirely unapproached.
The increase over last year is not
less than 80 per cent, and it may be
so. Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day mornings the Albany stage
brought I6 sacks, besides letter
mail. One morning the sacks were
piled on top of the vehicle, and af-
ter big lot had been taken out,
two drummers, still alive and con-
tented, were found on the back
seat. Three TO eight and 10 sacks
have been arriving regularly on the
evening train. The Westside
contribution has been regularly
from II, upwards, besides letters.
The registry business has been
enormous. 1he last two days
of last week, the four R. F. D.
carriers took out LILY mail pack
ages. From dozen to 50 regis
|trys per day have been sent out of
the Corvallis office. Four clerks
have been on duty for the past 10
days, and even this unusually large
number OF assistants has been sim.
ply showed under. The last of the
force did not leave the Office Satur.
day night until midnight. To
complicate matters, trains have
regularly been from one to two
hours late, fact that occassioned
an opening Of the Office for two,
instead of the usual one Sunday
period. The rush is not yet over,
but Postmaster Johnson and his as
sistants can begin, to see dayligh,
ahead.

CHRISTMAS WEDDING.
Benton County Clerk the
Groom-Moses--Wood.

One of the prettiest weddings of
the season was celebrated at the
M. E. church South, at 10 o. clock
Christmas morning, when Miss
Lavina Clair Wood became the
bride of Vi-tor P. Moses.
The church was filled with guests
when at che appointed time the
bridal party entered, to the strains
of a wedding march played by
Miss Edna Finley. The ushers,
Dell Alexander, Leonard Moses,
Thomas Bilyeu and Mark Weather
ford, advanced UP the left aisle, fol-
lowed by Miss Mabel Wood, the
bridesmaid, who was winsome in
dainty costume of pink organdie
over white. Following the brides
maid came little Miss McCausland,
flower girl, and behind her, the
bride lovely. in her trailing gown
Of cream silk, with tulle veil, and
carrying shower bouquet of cream
chrysanthemums. AS she advan-
ced, the groom, accompanied by
his best man, Ralph Pruett, pro-
ceeded up the right aisle, aud the
party met at the altar, where Rev.
c. L. McCausland awaited. them.
The ceremony was simple and most
impressive, and at its conclusion
the bride and groom, followed by
the bridesmaid, best man and ush-
ers, left the altar and proceeded to
the carriages that took them to the
Woods home, where a reception
was held and a delicious wedding
breakfast served to fifty relatives
and friends.
The church was beautifully dec
GRATED with white and pink crepe
paper, Oregon grape and mistletoe,
and from a green arch above the
altar was suspended a large white
bell under which the cerer/\
was performed. At the NO
home. the decorations were lovely,
consisting of cedar, holly and mis-
tletoe in the various rooms.
At I:2o p. m. Mr.. and Mrs.
Moses left for Portland and Seattle,
on wedding trip. They will re-
side in Corvallis, in a newly built
residence belonging to the groom.
Mr.. Moses is the son of Rev. and
Mrs. P. A, Moses, and is well
known and highly respected. be-
ing the clerk. of Benton county.
The bride is the only child of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Wood. one of Cor
wallis highly respected families,
and is an attractive young woman

warm friends unite in good wishes

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to exceed
ten per cent. of his earnings. He must spend
nine dollars in living expenses for every
dollar saved. That being the case he can
not be too careful about unnecessary ex-
penses. Very often a few cents properly in
vested, like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on. 1t is
the same in buying Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t costs
but few cents, and bottle oft in the house
often saves doctors bill of several dollars.

Oregon City, Or, Dec. 22.-Three
freight cars and In ca boose, attached
to a heavy sout] xsund extra freight
left the tract in rounding a sharp
curve at Canemah, one mile south
of this city, at / 40 O'Clock this af-
ternoon, and were badly demolish-
ed. The track was tom up for
distance of 800 feet, but damages
we're repaired by wrecking crew,
traffic being delayed only for few
hours. None of the members of the
crew were injured. the men leaping
from the upper window of the ca.
boose as it left the track. K. Bag
by and B. Hill, two young lads,
who were standing on the sidewalk
Immediately alongside of the track
where the wreck occurred, escaped
serious injury by jumping into the
Willamette river basin.
The train consisted of IA cars and
a caboose, II of the cars passing
safely over the place af the acci-
dent. Two of the damaged cars
con,ained structural ironwork for
railroad bridges. They were COM
pletely demolished and their con-
tents we're scattered along the track.
The third car was loaded with
wheat, and landed upside do wn in
the upper.end OF the river basin, be-
ing submerged and it's cargo ruined.
Considerable damage also resulted
to the caboose, which came within
few feet Ct being precipitated into
the river.
One of the wrecked cars landed
within three feet of the residence Of
Mr.. Quinn, which borders very
closely on the track at the scene OF
the accident. The engineer of the
wrecked train claims that his train
was travelling at rate of about II
miles an hour. He accounts for
the wreck by claiming that sway
ing OF the heavy structural iron
overbalanced one of the cars, which
left the track and carried with il
the other three. While the course
of the railroad ct the point of to-
days accident follows the bank o.
the Willamette river for severa.
miles and is a succession of SHARP
curves, this is the first mishap O
this character that has ever occurr
ed in the vicinity Of Canemah.
