The FOURTH DEATH
Within Five WeekS-Burial of
Mrs. John Day.

After a few weeks illness with
typhoid fever, Mrs. John Day
died at the home of her friend,
Mrs. Matte Knight, in Fores'
Grove, at 10 O'Clock Sunday
night. The remains were
brought to Corvallis Tuesday and
the funeral occurred from the
Christian church at 2 p. m.
Tuesday afternoon. The ser
vices were conducted by Rev.
Handsaker and numerous friends
and acquaintance were presen,
to pay farewell tribute of respect.
The remains were laid in
Crystal Lake cemetery, beside
those of the three children who
died less than FIVE weeks ago, all
from typhoid fever. The first
death was that of Miss Eva Day,
the 1e-sear old daughter, who
died Feb. 24th., after many
weeks illness. Only tour DAYS
later Ina, the 13-year old sister,
followed, and On March 5th,
Joseph, the 17-year old brother,
from whom had been concealed
the knowledge that his two sisters
were gone, also succumbed to
the disease, the funeral occurring
March 9th, and now only one
month and three days later, the
mother is laid away! The only
members left of a happy family
of six are the father and husband,
John Day, and a young boy,
Ben, who barely survived an at.
tack of typhoid some weeks ago
A sadder case than that of the
Day family has never come tc
the notice of Corvallis people,
and there is profound sympathy
for the surviving members.
Mrs. Day was aged al years,
and was a native of Germany.

Will Break the Record

Great as were the results last
year of the efforts put forth by
the Benton County Citizens
League, those anticipated for the
coming year are still greater,
and Indications point to a season
of unparalleled success in securing
immigration for Benton county.
John Allen, the secretary, now
has a stenographer to aid in the
task of answering letters of in:-
quiry from the East, and yet
the letters arrive by the dozen
daily, until both secretary and
stenographer are ''snowed
under.'
Since the first of March 1000
pieces of literature, relative to the
resources and advantages of Ben
ton county, have been mailed by
the League, and replies show
that 90 per cent of the recipients
are pleased with the descriptive
matter sent them. Every iu-
qui-er is sent a personal letter by
the secretary and this delicate
attention goes far in winning the
confidence and enlisting the
interest of the prospective home
seeker.
The League work this year
will be better systernatizsd than
ever before, and the officers feel
certain that the results will be
little short Of marvellous, judging
from the direct benefits that
were derived last season from the
advertising and other efforts put
forth.
It is safe to assert that nowhere
in Oregon, unless it be in Mutt
nomah county, will more
effective work be accom- plished
by any organization, than that
of the Benton Citizens League,
with its hustling officers and
energetic secretary.

VINO Is the Available Man?

Four years ago the republican
candidate for state printer, ran
thousands of votes behind his
ticket because of his record as a
bolter and his notorious "deal"
with "Jack" Mathews in the
state convention of 1902. Now
Whitney is more vulnerable still,
because the state printing Office
has been run so expensively to
taxpayers. The one man among
the state printer candidates to
add strength to the republican
ticket is Willis S. Dunniway, who

Convenient Fetters

Leo Deutsch, Russian political exile
who was permitted to return to his
home, tells in his book, sixteen Years
In Siberia" tales not only of suffering.
but of lenient treatment by his jailers.
In Siberian prisons often the harshness
of the discipline was considerably re-
laxed On one occasion, to the vast
amusement of the prison authorities.
Deutsch appeared before the governor
with his letters tied ZIP with a piece Of
string, and it appeared he had only as
sumed them for the moment. BUt the
complaisant governor was afraid of a
visit from high quarters. 'Then if an
inspection is made you will be wearing
your letters" he asked, laughing. s'Of
course" replied Deutsch. "You see.
I've come to you in full DRESS" point
ing to his tied up chains. On another
occasion Deutsch's bag was stolen 1t
contained, among other articles of a
anvict's attire, the Indispensable fet-
-ers, and he had to apply for new
pair. "Take care you don't lose these:'
said the officer as Deutsch packed them
among his luggage.

lived $3.50 years B. c., formulated a
code of laws. His statutes, which
were operative five centuries before
the laws of Moses, numbered 2S2 and
contain the following:
eff a woman who sells beverages
gives bad value for the money paid her,
she shall be thrown into water.
eff a wife be a spendthrift or if she
otherwise neglect her duties, her nus
band may put her away without COM
pensation, but if man put away his
wife for no other reason than that she
has no children he shall return her

shall pay the woman compensation.

EVERYDAY CARE OF BEDDING.
Air Thoroughly and Occasionally
Overhaul Mattress.

overhaul Mattress.
An old housekeeper says: Air
your bedding thoroughly every
morning and you'll not only have
better health, but the bed will be
fresher and more comfortable. In
addition to this daily airing, put the
mattress, pillows, blankets, comforts
and pads out in the sunshine at least
once a week and let them air for
half day. If possible, find time to
gently whip the pillows and mat
tresses with light stick or rug beat
er, for some dust Is bound to collect
during weeks usage, and this
which Is unhealthy If allowed to &C
cumulate-in time breeds germs, be-
side taking elasticity from the feath-
ers and making the hair filling in the
mattress dull
Many hOusekeepers are careful to
change the bed linen, and take pride
In keeping it snowy white, yet they
do not pull the beds apart often
enough. Careful women not only
daily air all the bedding, but during
the weekly summing the springs are
taken out, busted and wiped off with
a damp cloth, and IL there are wood
en- Stats under the springs they are
washed off in hot suds and put out
in the sunshine to dry. The bed Is
next taken apart and brushed with a
stiff whisk broom in the tiny crevices
where dust collects and then wiped
off with damp rag and either taken
outdoors to air or placed near the
windows where the sunshine reaches
1t.
Occasionally even the best of mat
tresses should be pulled apart and
made over by an expert workman
and covered with new ticking. Feath-
ers, however, may be put in new cases
at home If a housewife does not
think the work OF changing, airing
and summing them too hard. They
should be taken from the ticking
once year, and put in clean sheet
and summed for four or five days
Care must be taken when changing
them or many will be lost. The best
way is to take the pillows into a
room closed tight, and then empty
the feathers into clean sheets, tie
them up and take them out into the
sunshine. Women will save them
selves the difficult task of picking
small feathers and down from their
hair, where 1t is bound to stick, while
they are emptying the cases, If they
wrap towels around their heads.

Vestments of the Vatican.

The priceless vestments stored in
the cedarWOod cabinets at the Vati-
