DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The Mack Porter Residence on Stale
Road-No Insurance.

Wednesday afternoon the farm
residence of Mack Porter, on the
state road, with almost it's entire
contents, was totally destroyed by
fire. Mr.. Porter and a grandson
were in the building atthe time the
flames were discovered, but being
in the upper story the flames were
not observed until it was so well
under way. that it was deemed use
less to undertake to stay its des-
truction of the building. The oc-
cupants lent their endeavors to the
rescue of furniture but little of that
was removed to a place Of safety
before the flames drove the work
ers from the house. The loss IS
from two to three thousand dollars.
1t is believed that there was no in
surance. The house was erected
more than thirty years ago and at
that time was one of the best resid-
ences in the county. Mr.. Porter
always kept it in good repair and
it was even at this time regarded
as good structure.

NEW, TYPE OF ROLLERlSM.
How it Affects the -Four Hundred
Of Corvallis.

The insinuating craze made its
appearance in Corvallis about twol
weeks ago, since which time it has
marvelously spread, and laid suc.
cessful siege to the innermost cir
cles of our best society. The foun-
dation of the disease-for such it is
claimed to be by competent author
ity-is said to be a peculiar mi
crobe, the character of which, it is
believed, is very similar to that
producing 'brain Storm" There
is no known remedy. 1t just has
to run it course.
The craze has attacked, with
great virulency, the organization
known as the Barnacle Club. AT
the clubs solicitation, the skating
rink was exclusively given over
two evenings to the members in
order to allow them full scope for
exercise OF the various forms in
which it has taken hold upon the
victims.
Previous to these two events the
lady Barnacles had been haunting
/ the rink morning and afternoon
hence the superior polish which at
taches to their gyrations as COM
pared to those of the male Barnacles.
One. evening in the earlier time
of the epidemic was seen the 1.-the
form of E. E. Wilson hand-in- hand
with Tommy Jones, scaling the
outer circle of the rink, but before
the close OF the session he had so
far surmounted his difficulties as
to glide in the inner circ'e. Upon
the second eveninghe tore round and
round the room with a velocity
equal to hat of real Kansas cy-
clone, and seemed to have equally
as little regard for what was in his
cou1se. Such was the marked
progress of Mr.. Wilson.
The evening performances par
took of the nature of a dime mu-
scum. Much had been said during
the week by Prof. McKellips about
his performances on rollers, but his
reputation as skater was clouded
at once when he shufHed onto the
floor in full dress suit and bearing
bottle of arnica and a box Of his
widely known pain pills.
It is strange how this form of
rollerism affects people. Bob John
son for example, when on the floor
imagined that he was locomotive,
and he was evidently not intending
any fake business. When his wheels
those on his feet -once began to
roll, he couldn't stop. neither could
/, he move to one side. All he was
! able to do was to give the warning
whistles to clear the floor.
Mayor Johnson tore through the
| crowd so courageously and bola.>, ~

B. W. Johnson also has it il

I tensions of the mayor. The con
tention resulted In a compromise
after which they toured the foo

 After prayer the minutes were read and approved. The literary program was very Interesting and we'll carried out.
