THE INDIAN WAIF.
And the Soldiers Swore to
Kill It but Didn't-Cob
B1air's Story.

Colbert Powell Blair, the centen-
arian, formerly of Corvallis, but
now of Pendleton, was a soldier of
the Rogue River Indian war, and
also in the Black Hawk war. A
favorite story Of the aged man has
reference to the latter campaign.
Mr.. Blair and a number of his fell
low soldiers one day, like Hanni-
bal of old, swore eternal enmity to
all Indians, and agreed always to
kill them or any of them on sight.
After that Mr.. Blair and his COM
pany were pursuing a band of red
skins. AS the latter became sore
ly pressed they began to throw
away baggage, provisions or other
impediments to fight. At length
an Indian boy of about one summer
was dropped in the brush, and it
fell to the luck Of Mr.. Blair to be
his discoverer. Under the terms
of the VOW, it was his duty to slay
the dusky youngster. His com.
panions reminded him of his agree
ment and told him it was his duty
to strike, As the legend goes, the
kindhearted soldier. eyed the smil.
ing little Indian for a moment as
it lay in the bush, and then with
a remark that sounded something
like "durn the promise" he took
the babe in his arms and carried il
to camp. Before night the fngi-
tive band was overhauled and tax.
en- prisoner, and the waif of the
bush was restored to its mother.
Shortly afterward, peace was con-
Guided, and were the story a TO
nance instead of fact, the assur'
ance would be that it was because
of the Kindness to the abandoned
Indian child that the Redskins laid
down their arms.

As TO HENS.
Certain Hens that Made Money for
Their Owner in the Good old
Winter Time.

Hens pay. Good hens, at
least do. Thirtythree of that sort
at the J. B. Irvine yard have pro-
duced 1872 eggs in the last 80 days,
an average of nearly II eggs per
day. Such a record in the dead of
winter and in that peculiar period
when hens ordinarily are not over
fruitful, is fairly good, at least from
the owners standpoint. The egg
product of the 50 days was ISL
dozen. At the average price of 81
cents at which they were sold, the
revenue was $23.52. The amount
paid for feed during the period was
50, leaving a net proceed of $17.52.
The hens erethoroughbred Brown
Leghorns.
And still Oregon imports poultry
products by the trainload from
Iowa. Iowa meantime, is not by
climatic conditions nearly 80 well
adapted to the poultry business as
is the Willamette valley. The Cor
wallis poultry fanciers are blazing
the way in an industry that will nj
timately be one of the chief sources
of wealth in Willamette valley
counties.

BODY GOES EAST.
For Burial Death and Funer-
al Of Henry Holroyd.

A graveyard in the East is the
destination of the body of Henry
Holroyd, which left Corvallis via
the Westside today. Mr. Holroyd
died early Wednesday morning at
the family home in the North
western part of town. His ailment
was neuralgia of the heart, and his
illness was of but a week duration
The funeral occurred from. the
family residence, Rev. Bush of the
Presbyterian church conducting
the service. The interment will be
at Olwein, Iowa. The body is ac-
companied East by Mrs. Holroyd
and two children, and by ]. Fred
Yates, who goes as an attorney for
the settlement of business matters
in Iowa.
MI. Holroyd was a member of
the Iowa colony in this city. He
came to Corvallis on a visit two or
three years ago, and returned a
year ago last autumn to reside. He
bought lots and built a home in the
block west of the Francisco prop
erty. The latter is one of five
houses built in the same block last
year. The deceased was about 70
years of age, and was an estimable
citizen. The surviving members

CORVALLIS, OREGON,

RICHARDS

Richards seems to have been
guilty, but the jury was not willing
to say so. Richards called. his house
a s'hotel', but as described in the
court testimony, it sesms in reality
a resort for the high-toned '"'immor.
aP' of Portland. When a cab
drove up. invariably the lights in
front of the house went out until
the occupants had alighted and
passed inside the building. Then
the lights blazed up again. When
persons were about to enter a car
rage, the same darkening of the
front %transpired. When the raid
was made all manner Of folk from
the first families were apparently
there, if newspaper reports are tc
be believed. Estimated by the
signs, there is probably more Of
real deviltry at Richards than In
half a dozen of the less pretentiou:
establishments of the same kind il
Portland, the latter of which, o.
course, being possibly more amen
able, because not a "hote1."
If justice slipped because, a
they say, the jury vas packed, the
fact is to be deplored. 1t was bae
enough for Richards and his "ho
tel'' to flourish In Portland; it i
far worse for a conspiracy to vindi
cate him, when if humber folk
had been his clientel and his carav
ansary humber, conviction woul'
have been certain. AS it is, Rich
ards has done so well that it is cas-,
at this distance to believe that b
may have planned and pulled Of
the whole show in order to bette
his "hotel' business by the FIRE
advertising he has secured.

The International Peril.

In the terrible tragedy at Madrid
which is warning to the whole civil
lied world of the dangers of anarchlsm,
an occasion is afforded for new exhihi-
tons Of narrow prejudice of race. A
contemporary presents this crime as
an example Of the ferocity of thu
Spanish character" though it is not
yet'knOwn what was the nationally:
of the perpetratOr and his accOmplices.
The police at Scotland Yard in London
have strong reason to suspect that he
may have been a born Englishmdn.
Others have availed themselves Of the
tragedy to indulge in hOmilies Ove the
tendencies of the Latin races TO
anarchism and slaughter.
But the simple truth is that this
anarohistic crime is an international
peril for which the AnglO-SaXOns, the
Tentons, the Celts and the Slavs have
betrayed as much propensity as the
so-called Latin races. The doctrine
Of dnarchism is prOpagated with about
the same industry in all civilized lands
and finds its votaries among the IAN
atical, the weak-headed and the Grim
inally inclined Of every nationality.
II does not matter to the anarchist
whether the Government be a Repub-
lie. Il constitutional monarchy or a 0es
potism. The greater ire degree of
public order in a State the greater is
his malignity to the Government that
maintains it.
AS the overthrow Of existing society
is the sole aim Of anarchism, there is
small difference in criminal response
bility between the tameSt teacher OF
its theories Of destruction and the
most savage cOnspirator who executes
its murderous degrees. There are OF
course, mild-manenred fanatics who
have pictured in their ~overheated im-
aginations a new ideal Of social order
to rise upon the ruins Of existing in
situations. But let no man deceive
himself as to the h~armlessnesS of
these fantists. They are as danger
Gus to society as the assassin of nj
hilism, who in his thirst fro blood lit
tie cares against whom he draws his
revolver or filings his bomb. There is
no telling how sOon the insane whims
of the mild do~ctrinaires Of anarchiSm
may not be converted into the sang
urinary deed of crime. Hence for the
preservation of society should all be
put in the same criminal category

THE CAFE
Paris Resorts Where a Pleasant Thrill
Was Administered at Every Turn.
(From the London Globe.)

lFICLH Tie LOUGO IlOD0.l
Among other changes which have
taken place among the cafes Of Paris
is the total disappearance Of the cleo
trio cafe. A thirsty Partisan entering
one of them for the first time il his
life found himself in a place which re-
sembled a buffet more than a cafe, and
in which the most remarkable object
was an enormous metal counter. Hay-
ing swallowed his beverage he pro-
ceeded TO place his piece of money
on the counter, when. to his aston
ishmest, he received a violent shock
in the right hanr, which probably caus-
ed him to drop the coin as If it were
Tedhot.r
Il have had an electric shock" he
would exclaim TO some fr%equenter
laughing near him.
IMPOSSIBLE" would be the reply.
"YOu must have knocked your funny
bone against the edge of the counter"
Protesting that he had received a
galylnic shock, the victim was assured
by the lOunger, who had been lying
in wait for his joke, that he had SIM
ply been electrified by the charms Of
the young lady behind the counter, just
as IN audience at the theater is said
to be electrified by an actress or priua
donna,
Again, however, On receiving his
change. the new customer experienced
Il sharp shock, being the more aston
ished inaSmuch as the haDituteS pre-
ent put down and took up their change
without any visible disturbance by The
electric current. Then he went aWay
myStiied, to return perhaps, later in
the evening, with an inexperienced
friend, whom, partly from curiosity,
partly from mischief, he led up TO tie
counter. His friend no One touch
ed it than he started back electrified,
but he himself found that he could
tbs time touch it with impunity. He
had now, obviously, been admitted
among the initiated; and when he
had gone on drinking and spending
enough [ o entitle him to confidence,
the beautiful "demOiselle du Comp
tOir' cOndesCended to explain to him
the mystery Of the matter.
At the foot of the metal counter was
il piece Of strip iron, connected with
one of the wires of a g%alvanic battery,
the other wire communicating WITH
the counter the presiding goddess SIP
ped the clrreAt, which only nOvices
were intended to feel. The whole de-
vice was only employed to amuse Gus
toners. The electric counter became
very popular, and had rapidly spread
all over Paris. when the government,
thinking probably that such practical
jokes might sometimes be carried toe
far, absolutely suppressed the "cafes
electriqueS."

Senator BurtOn'S Exit.

Senator Joseph r. Burton seems to
have made a virtue of necessity. Hay-
ing been informed that the Senate was
about to take measure to separate him
from his salary, he turned in yesterday
a resignation which should have been
forthcoming long ago. Mr., Burton
was cOnyited on the charge of falling
to discriminate between his functions
as a Senator and as Il paid attorney
in taking fees for work done in the
departments at Washington, He APP
pealed on technical grounds, secured
g reversal and a new trial, was again
convicted and that conviction on
firmed by the highest federal tribunal.
The etiquette of the Senate has not
allowed him TO occupy his seat since
the day of his first conviction. He
has had no voice Of any sort in legis-
lation and was entitled to hone OH
moral grounds; for the only defense he
has been able to make against the
charges has been that they did not
technically constitute such crime
against the United States as is contem-
plated by the Revised Statutes. The
retention of his name on the Senate's
salary list has been. under these cir
cumstances, a public scandal. Kan
sas has been Inundated and the coun-
try has been Inundated by the lack of
decency and sensibility exhibited by
this sullied lawmaker. If he had pos
sessed any self-respect he would never
have stood on the order Of his going.
His exit comes late. 1t would have
been vociferously welcomed much ear

why Woman betoIleS Il FARMER.
This very simple situation, "woman's
