There were two causes of this
tragedy, the two most usual and
frequent causes of such affairs.
One cause was whiskey. The
murderer was so drunk that, he
says, he had no knowledge and

Splendid Recital Given,

The growing event in the ALL
Benton school fair, and one which
had long been anticipated with
pleasure by Corvallisites, happen
ed at the First Methodist church
Saturday evening. 1t was the
elocutionary recital by Prof.
George Lester Paul of Portland
and the large church and the an
mex was crowded with those who
knew that treat was in store for
all who attended.
Prof. Paul did not in the least
disappoint those who had expect
ed so much from the entertain
ment. Beginning with a recita-
ton, "The District School" !"
suited more particularly to the
younger part of the audience, he
gave program that was suited
to his audience and to the occas-
ion and which was of sufficient
range to please all tastes and to
fully demonstrate his ability.
Every number save one received
an encore and the entertainment
would have lasted much longer
had the audience had a voice in
the matter. Prof. Paul is a
former Corvallis boy and one
of whom Corvallis is justly proud.
During the evening Superin.
tendent Denman read the list Of
awards in the All-Benton fair,
and the Bellefountain banc
played several numbers.

has no recollection of what he
did; the other man, according to
one report, was drunk enough to
be quarrelsome, though he was a
peaceable and quiet man when
sober. Whiskey causes a multi
tude of such crimes-aud manv
OF them ale far more to be de-
plored than this one, for too often
there are widows and orphans to
suffer.
The other cause was a 1evol-
yer, the ever-ready revolver in
the hands of a drunken man.
Without the revolver the whis-
key would not have caused the
killing, nothing more than a fist
icuff; but the man who was in
sensately drunk had revolver,
and because he had, one man lies
ia an untimely grave and another,
himself, in a cell charged with
murder.
OF all the DEVILS implements
u-ed to kill and main and dis
grace mankind, and produce
dect tn and sorrow and suffering
and remorse, these two are the
greatest, whiskey and the revol-
yer. Whiskey is the greatest of
these implements, no doubt, but
it would be relieved of a large
fraction of its criminal curse if
there were no revolvers to be
used in connection with or as a
result of drinking it.

WAS GRAND SUCCESS.
Everybody Had Good Time
Splerdid Exhibits at Fair.

The big All-Benton school fair
lis past and the preparations that
exteuded over a year or more
were brought to splendid finish
| in the fair last Thursday, Friday
and Saturday..
The town was in gala attire
from the beginning and every
body was made welcome, every
courtesy and accommodation pos,
sible being extended.
The circuit court room, where
the exhibits were displayed, was
crowded from morning until
night every day and in all the
great crowd there was no one bus
bad a word of praise for what had
been accomplished in the big
lair. The work of the children
i'm various lines and from all
parts of the county was little
short of marvellous and much of
1t would have done credit to a
full grown' man or woman.
From fields and garden the
products came in loads ard ali
were remarkably fine, while
hand work aud cookery, such as
bread making, preserving and
jelley-making by the little girls
was of a character to put many
an old and experienced house
keeper to shame. The judges of
these things were experienced
housewives, and they declared
themselves absolutely astounded
at the results accomplished by
these little cooks.
The parade Thursday after
noon was excellent. 1t includ-
ed probably 1000 school children
of the countyled by brass band,
representatives of Philomath ccl-
lege, floats of various local and
business houses including one
each by Amy Cameron's harness
shop, L. L. Brooks seed store,
A. H. Kenpin furniture store,
H. Boulden, Wiley's livery
stable, Amber & Waters real
estate Office. O. ]. Blackledge's
furniture store and the Kaupisch
creamery. All were splendid,
the Kaupisch, Brooks and Wiley
floats being particularly effective,
The parade of school children
was reviewed by Governor Cham
berlain and U. S. Senator Fulton,
after which both these gentlemen
delivered addresses at the court
house square.
In the evening DR.. W. J. Kerr
gave an excellent address on edu
cation, to large and apprecia
tive audience on the court house
lawn.
Friday and Saturday the
crowds were not larger than Or

had the appearance of a three
