DR.. IRA REMSEN ON DR..
0SLER AND HIS THEORY

New York, March 3.-Dr Ira Rem.
sen, president Of Johns Hopkins uniyer-
slty, speaking last night at the annual
dinner OF the New York alumni Of that
institution had this to say of DR.. oslel
and his theory"
In the medical department we suf.
fered a great loss when Or. Osler re-
signed to take that position in England
which he ought never to have accepted.
He visited us recently and promised to
come back next September.
THE name of Osler suggests an incl
dent In connection with the man. 10
Osler has been attributed remarks
which he never uttered. What is known
as 'Oslers theory Is no theory at all,
There never was such an absurdity.
Prof Osler is a very sensitive man,
and the notoriety he has gained UNI
Willingly Is very painful to him. When
he went some time ago TO Atlantic city
for rest which he go much needed, he
was Obliged to travel incognito, and at
the hotel where he stayed ne did not
sign as William Osler but used some
other name. Again, when he went to
England he went under another name
to avoid questions as to his theory.

RESTITUTION SUITS AGAINST
MUTUALS FORMER OFFICERS
BEGUN

Following the opinion rendered two
weeks ago by former Ambassador Jo-
seph II. Choatc. IN which he urged the
Mutual Life Insurance Co. to bring dc-
ton against the company's old regime
officers, suits for restitution Were
brought last week against Richard A,
McCurdy. former president OF the
company; Robert II. McCurdy Louis
A. Thebaud and Charles II Raymond.
head of the Mutual's New York agen-
cy firm.
In the suit against members OF the
firm of Raymond q Co, VIII appear a
new allegation. which will result II is
believed in further disclosures In re-
gard to the amount Of money which
flowed from the Mutual into the pock-
cts Of the McCurdys. This allegation
will be that Raymond & CO.. IN which
Robert II. McCurdy was interested
first and later Louis 4. Thcbaud, got a
commission on a very large part Of the
moneys which the Mutual Life re-
ceived yearly in premiums.
The suit against cN-President Me-
Curdy viii undoubtedly be TO recover
the increase I'm his salary from $780,
900 to $4,000 and the campaign con-
tributions made under his direction.
Robert II. McCurdy VIII be held for
the excessive commissions which he
received from the company both as a
member OF Raymond q Co. and as
manager OF the foreign business.
1t is an interesting coincidence that
the above suits were begun by the Mil
tual Life management on the day
when Stuyvesant Fish resigned from
the company's special investigating
committee because President Peabody
refused to furnish the information
called for in committee requisition.

"The Holy City"

One of the most beautiful and
impressive productions ever
staged, will be seen at the opera
house on November Ist. 1t is
biblical story, founded princi-
pally on the Book of John. The
epoch covering the birth OF
Christianity provides scenes OF
vivid comparison with the arro-
giant, sensual splendor of pagan
Rome, No more absorbing ira
gedy was ever conceived, no
greater stage pictures ever pre-
sented. In ..'The Holy City,"
the possibilities for dramatic et-
feet have been fully embraced by
the excellent members of the
cast, the dignity of the characters
and picturesque costuming giving
them rare opportunity for i'm
pressive work. The company
carries complete scenic and cleo
trical effects. and the production
is said to be one of the most
elaborate on the road this season.
The above attraction is now play
ing a weeks engagement in
Portland. Watch the Portland
papers for comments.

Seeks New Location.

Corvallis has long needed an
up-to-date music store, and now
that N. A. Fisher has established
one here it seems to bad that he
has not room to make a display
of his beautiful pianos. Mr..
Fisher seems to be the right man
in the right place, as his liberal
patronage already shows.
He has the Mehlin & Sons
pianos that he sells 500 under
the Portland prices. He also
has the Bush & Gerts, the Trow-
bridge and Henry F. Miller.
Such pianos cannot be excelled
in Oregon. It seems impossible
to keep the Trowbridge in stock,
SO great is the demand for them.
Mr.. Fisher is to move this
week into the building lately oc-
cupied sby the Centennial meat
market, near Hollenberg &
Cady's. He has on hand fine
line of pianolo music, also Vic
tor, Columbia and Zonophone

0AKvlLLE MAN VANiSHES
Leaving a Brief Note of Farewell
Has Relatives Here.

Parties in Corvallis a day or
two ago from he vicinity of Oak
Vile, a few miles from this city
across the river, told of a certain
resident of that locality having
mysterious,y disappeared, but as
full details OF the affair could not
be given, the Gazette decided to
await developments. The story
is now given in full, as it appear
ed in Saturdays Herald. Several
relatives of the parties in the case
reside in Corvallis, being we'll
known citizens. The facts are
thus related:
"Good-bye, dear; Pm gone
forever this time.-Charley."
A torh fragment of note paper,
on which were written these
word, conveyed to Mrs. Charles
Tharp of Oakville the first intelll-
gence that her husband had left
her. It was last Wednesday
morning when Mrs. Tharp dis
covered the brief note lying On
the kitchen table. The missing
man had arisen some time dnring
the night and quietly left the
house, after first leaving a hnal
message. What has become OF
Tharp is simply matter of spec
ulation. It is not thought, how
ever, that any harm has befallen
him, as this is not the first tiJne
the man has disappeared.
From what can be learned,
it seems that Tharp left his first
wife about nine years ago, and
after about three years returned,
his wife meanwhile procuring a
divorce on the grounds of deser-
ton. Shortly after his return he
married again.
Four years ago Tharp lett his
farm near Oakville, and for a
time no trace could be obtained
of his whereabouts. Mrs. Tharp
was left alone with a baby girl.
She prosecuted a vigorous search
for her husband and hnally found
him in The Dalles. Tharp was
persuaded to return home, and
since then has lived at Oakville
on the farm.
At the time of his second dis
appearance Tharp was said to be
heavily in debt, which was giver
as a cause for his leaving. This
his third evanishment, is also
said by neighbors and those ia
miliar with the circumstances tt
!: be- the result of similar fuancia
embarrassmeuts.

With eggs thirty cents per

He Forgot to Sign 1t.

They were a foud and happy
pair as they meandered into the
county clerks office a day or
two ago and asked bashfully tor
a marriage license. Deputy
Clerk Crawford gravely proceed
ed to fill out the necessary paper
but when he came to the BRIDE S
age there was a sudden hitch in
proceedings, for she admitted
being only II.
"Is one OF these women your
mother?" inquired the deputy,
referring to the witnesses who &C
compauied the pair, but the ans
wer was that the mother was not
there. Remembering his own
youth, Deputy Crawford felt al
most tempted to give them the
paper anyway, but he figured
that the law was not plaything
for boys, and therefore he wa:
forced to tell the young peopls
that they would have to secure
the consent of one of the parents.
