land in this county sometime
in the year 1866. This informa-
ton he sent the inquiring parties,
but was obliged to inform them
that whence came Job S. Ha-

beyond his ken. The letter was
from Clackamas, Oregon, and is
as follows:
One Job S. Haworth entered

possible locate his descendants.
Kindly write me the cost of hav-
ing records searched, etc. AS a

tempt on his life by cutting his
throat with razor yesterday.
He was staying with an ac-
quaintance, Mr.. S. P. Ness. an
attorney in Eugene. Yesterday
afternoon, about 3 O'Clock, the
family was startled by hearing
noises from Langemo's room, and
hurrying to the scene found him
almost life1ess. Drs. De Bar and
Kuykendail were at once called
in. The unfortunate man had
lost considerable blood, but the
doctors are confident he will re-
cover.
Much regret is expressed in
university circles, as Mr.. Lange-
mo had made many friends,
though he had been here but q
short time. President Campbell
does not know what will be done
as to the place lett vacant by Mr..
Langemo's illness, and will wait
ia few days before taking action,
P. c. Langemo was one of the
new instructors engaged by the
university this fall. His work
at Oregon was under Professor
Young, conducting classes in &C.
onomics and political science.
A graduate of the University o.
Minnesota and a close student
under DR.. Ely, afterwards at the
University of Wisconsin, he was

AGood Play.

A large audience greeted "On
the Bridge at Midnight" Wed
nesday evening when the COM
pany appeared in the local Opera
House. We say a large crowd
in fact it was an audience
larger by far than turns out tc
the average play produced in
this city. The play is well writ
ten interesting, entertaining
and instructive.
1t would be hard to pick a flaw
in the company, SO we'll balauceo
is it. The customary Stick
or "sticks" usually sandwiched
some place in every company
was not in evidence "Wednesday
evening. Of comedy, there i:
abundance and there are ~~bits O
pathos that is real pathos ane
makes one's throat swell. ST
far as the play is concerned, it i
heroic. There is a villain per
scouting lady-for this W
could have seen him hanged
and there are also many goot
people in the play.
The draw-bridge scene AM
the steamer passing through tn
draw was quite realistic. Take
all in all, if Corvallis can have
class of plays during the winte
of the merit of "On the Bridg
at Midnight" no one will hav
cause for complaint and there
no doubt about the patronage.

Water Committee Work.

Monday evening bids were op-
ened by the water committee for
the sale of Corvallis water bonds.
The bids called for takers of the
bonds on 4 per cent basis, and
it was made clear that the bonds
would not be taken on such
terms. Right here it may be
said the committee acted wisely in
first offering the bonds on d per
cent basis, for had they gone at
this figure it would have been a
saving of much cash to the tax
payers of this city.
At this time two bids OF bonds
on a S per cent basis were sub.
mitted. One bid received not
only offered to take the entire
amount of the bonds to be issued,
SIS, 900, but in addition would
give premium OF approximately
$500 for the privilege. The
committee decided to do what
was thought best under the cir
cumstances and made another
call for bids as will be seen in
another column.
Tuesday evening bids on con-
struction and material were open
ed and quite number Of men
were on hand with fact and fig
ures. After considering at some
length the water committee turn
ed the matter of doing further
! figuring over to committee
composed of Thomas Leese, M.
S. Woodcock and EngineerG. N.
] Miller.
Another meeting was necessi-
tated Wednesday evening when
the figures of the above commit
+ tee were considered and bids
/ awarded. The same committee
above mentioned was authorized
to draw up contracts yesterday
| morning.
5 Owing to the lateness of pro-
: ceedings, to the fact that the contracts
: were to be drawn yesterday, and tina
when we went to press yesterday after
: noon, we were unable to go very deeply
!, into details. The contract for furnishing
wood pipe was awarded the Washington
Wood Pipe and Foundry Co., of Seattle
WASH; for furnishing the require
: amount of steel pipe and hydrants to TIL
{ Crane Company house; the constructio'
d work was awarded to W. III. Mitchell, +,
a Seattle, Wash, although it is to be unde
d the personal supervision of Enginee

q mate exactly what will yet be the cos

for right of way and clearing the SAN

to Approximate 1000. If these fgur'
are high on right OF way, and clearing IL

Thomas Cummings and D. Bus
sard are home from Alsea, where
they spent the past few weeks
enjoying a hunt and fishing for
salmon. They report the best of
luck and came back loaded with
game and fish to their hearts
content. A fine buck fell to
their lot and venison is as COM
mon with them as beef, while of
fish they had an over abundance.
In three days the two men Sc
cured "a big salmon in trolling in
Alsea bay, and the catch Of one
day was Sc big salmon, and sale
to be the greatest one-day catcl
ever made in the Alsea. The

.of the sport. The backs will be
speedier than ever before; the
team will have a stronger line
and in the art of advancing tht
ball they no doubt will be able tt
show the visitors few stunts
The game with the red mel
gave the boys some good prac
tice. It showed them where th
line could be improved upon il
defensive play and gave an ide
of what plays can be carrie
through on the offensive. Will
some of the players were bruise
up during the game, none wer
seriously injured, and the whol

When the fact that the educa-

alton, it certainly reflects much
credit upon the efficiency of ar

CHICAGO Imports Her Wallets.

Employment agencies in Chicago
say they have but little call for valets.
There are a good many men in Chica-
go who have such luXuries as Wallets,
but according to the managers of the
employment agencies these Wallets are
all imported either from abroad or
down east.
The native-born Chicago valet, or
even one supplied by Chicago agen-
cy, would be regarded as an imita-
ton article. The good valet, like the
good accent. is only acquired abroad.
The valet most in demand Is the
English one, and masters like it best

of a chance to go with me. You

Appendicitis Talk.

Consul General Guenther reports
to the State Department, from state
ments contained in German papers,
that appendicitis, or inflammation
of the vermiform appendix. has
assumed the character of becoming
more and more a fashionable dis
case. Surgery has achieved great
triumphs in this sphere, and has
cured innumerable cases of the dis
ease. The French Surgeon Roux,
however. has asked the question,
" Is appendicitis over If one carries
his appendix in his pocket ? " aud
his answer was not entirely affirma-
tive.
From the statements of DR..
Frederick Trever, one of the fore
most authorities and physician of
King Edward, similar doubts ap-
pear. According to the experiences
OF this great expert, failures may
occur, which he treats in two
groups. On the one hand, the opera
ton may only result in relief or an
incomplete cure T; on the other hand,
complications are to be feared which
do not depend upon the surgical
intervention. Only the surgeon is
concerned to study the details of
the deductions of DR.. Treves in or
der to more fully learn of the event
ual dangers which may follow an
operation. For The patients, it must
be stated that an operation remains
the pre-eminent remedy, if not the
only one, from which a complete
cure is to be expected.
DR.. Pond, of Liverpool, has adj
vanced new theory with reference
to the origin of appendicitis and
other disturbances OF the digestive
organs, in The Lancet" He calls
attention to the fact that such all
ments can often be attributed to
antimonial poisoning. and the
source of the antimony taken up by
man is said to be the rubber rings
which are frequently used to close
all sorts of bottles. DR.. Pond has
established the fact that such rings
consist of almost one-third their
weight of antimony. The antiuiony
is not only dissolved by the mineral
waters. containing alkalies and
organic acids, but these rubber
rings, as daily observation shows,
soon become brittle, and some of
the compound falls into the con-
tents of the vessels.

Strenuth of Mushrooms.

A curious instance Of the wonderful
force exerted by growing vegetation Is
related in the Gardeners Magazine.
This force seems all the more remark
able when exerted by light and unsub-
stantial mushrooms, but does not ap-
pear so extraordinary when caused by
the expansion of a hardwood tree. A
few weeks ago some half-hardy an
nuals were sown in frame just
cleared of winter crop in the gar
dens of Kelsey Park, Beckenham, and
the lights closed to hasten germina-
tion. Some days afterwards signs of
cracking were observed in the brick
work, and gradually a block weighing
