THE SKULL BANJO
Probably the Most Gruesome Musical
Instrument Known.

From the New York Herald:
1t is we'll known fact that through
dire necessity the American Indian has
developed remarkable skill. The old
stories of how these Indians made
pottery and earthenware by the aid Of
only the most crude instruments and Of
their methods of burning and carving
out the insides Of trunks of trees to
make canoes are universally known.
But even with all their skill the fact
that they were barbarous. unciviliz-
ed race cannot be evaded, as Is shown
by this grewsome instrument. In the
time of the early settlers of this hemis-
phere their acts of cruelty were with
out precedent in the history of the
world.
With these facts in view we can
easily understand how the Skull BAN
10" came to light. 1t is known that in
the small country Of Paraguay, in the
east central part Of South America,
the Indians who inhabited that place
were more than ordinarily cruel. They
were constantly engaged in warfare,
and their primary aim when thus en-
gagged was to capture the chief Of the
opposing SIDE. When captured, this
parsonage was carried into their camp
and there cruelty murdered, and it
was from his body that this awe in
spring musical instrument was made

SKEWER LANGUAGE
Methods of Marking Meat in the
Great Beef Markets.

There are about so men in the me-
tropolis. says the New York Sun, who
know how to make meat skewers
keep record of their business trans
actions. These men are the represent
atives of tho Chicago packers, who
sell thousands of quarters of beef ev-
cry day to butchers
The work Of these men is accom-
pl1shed with great rapidity. FIRE.
quently they are making sale to a.
dozen butchers at the same time, and
to record these sales In book would
not only consume lot of time, but
would be difficult, as all quarters Of
beef look alike.
AS soon as sale is made the sales
man sticks skewers into the quarter
selected for the butcher. The skewers
are placed in such way that each
butchers purchases are easily picked
out: when the time comes for deliver
ing them.
AS some of the statesmen have as
many as a hundred customers in a.
day, it is evident that as many COM
binations Of the skewers have to be
formed In no case are more than
three skewers used on a piece Of beef.
In one big icebox there are 20 rows
Of quarters, with 40 quarters in each
row. In each piece of beef were skew
ers, placed at various angles, strizht
up, two Of them crossed and in every
conceivable combination.
Il know by these skewers whom
each piece belongs to-" said the sales
man. Every beef house salesman
Tas his own signs.
This method Of marking the meat
serves several purposes in addition to
that of saving time. A salesman from
another house could not come In here
and find out what my customers have
bought by looking at the skewers,
which would be easy enough If the
meat had their names on.
Neither can one butcher find out
what quality of beef another is buy
ing. I could make g. thousand signs
without using more than three skew
ers On any one piece Of beef"

Is to perform the feat of making the
instrument then cuts the top entirely
off. Over the opening thus made a
piece of skin taken from the body and
also thoroughly dried, is tightly
stretched in the manner of drum.
From the back of the skull the two
femurs or the two bones of the leg
which extend from the hip to the
knee project. These bones have been
so trimmed that they are of uniform
thickness throughout their entire
length: In the upper ends Of these
bones are Joined together with one
Of the ribs, also taken from that body.
Then from the forehead of the skull
to the rib which connects the two fe-
murs a number of strings are tightly
stretched. These strings are likewise
made from the skin of the victim, hay
ing been Thoroughly dried, stretched
and rubbed with resin.
But this even is not the full extent
of the grewsomeness Of this instru-
ment, for the skull is left so that the
jaws are movable. Therefore with
each shake of the instrument the laws
wag and with sharp jolt of the in
strument the teeth come together with

Dear Sirs and Brothers.

pose to make it plain to you, BARRIERS
work onsa percentage, with minimum
wage guarantee, On every dollar we
take in, the journeymen receives go
per cent, with a guarantee of $1,000
for a weeks work, and the boss re-
ceives 40 per cent. He furnishes the
building, chairs, towels, antisceptics,
hot and cold water, etc. There is alb
solutely no material upon which he
can make any money. Your employ
ers try to make their profits more
upon the material they use rather than
upon your days labor. We must help
to sustain the prices of the boss. Long
experience has taught us that if we do I
not do this our wage scale will be
low. Our International Constitution
demands we set prices of the work.
THEREFORE, we ask you to- help
us sustain our wages. Keep away
from Sullivan's shop. If we should
report any of your members for pat
ronizing this UNFAIR establishment,
we would ask you to deal with them
accordingly, and should you ever have
a grievance we promise you in return
our hearty cooperation. u.s.

BUILT THE FIRST HOUSE.
In Corvallis-That was Sixty Two
Years Ago-Back Here After
so Years.

A visitor in Corvallis this morn
ing, was a man who was on the
town site before the first building
was erected. He is w. S. Gillian,
7S years old, now a resident of
Wa11a Walla. His father was Col
Gillian, one of the original settlers
of the town site of Dallas, and the
man after whom Gillian County
takes its name. Col Gillian was
an old Indian fighter who won dis
tinction in the Florida wars, who
was at one time brigadier general
of the militia in the state of Misso-
uri, and who was killed in the
Cayuse war in this country.
Col Gillian built the first house
! in Corvallis. It was the J. c.
Avery cabin. 1t was constructed
in the winter of 1845. Mr.. Avery
had taken the well known Avery
donation land claim, but was tenn
porari1y engaged at Oregon City,
so he hired Col Gillian to come
here and build the cabin. That
was necessary in order to hold the
claim. Col Gillian and his sor
came to do the work, but on the
first trip ran out of provisions, and
had to come back a second time.
For the service, Mr.. Avery gave
/ Col. Gillian a COW.

MONUMENT UNVEILED.
By Philomath Circle Immense Grove
in Attendance at the Ceremony.

Philomath Circle, Woodmen of
the World, rendered one of the
most impressive ceremonies ever
witnessed in Mount Union ceme-
terry at the grave of Miranda M.
Afford Sunday afternoon. One of
the longest PROFESSIONS ever seen in
the cemetery was led to the grave,
which was beautifully yelled in
white, by Captain of the Guard, E.
81. Newton. The guards at the
head ct the procession dressed in
white with sashes of the Circle col
ors, followed by the officers in
mourning with memorial regalia,
the visiting neighbors of Marys
Peak Circle, and a long line of
friends and relatives, marched to
the grave, disposing themselves so
as to encircle the immediate rela-
tives, quartette and orator, where
the ritual ceremony was performed.
Rev. P. o. Bonebrake of Philo-
math delivered an excellent and
impressive Grafton.
After unveiling, the beautiful
monument was wreathed with gar
lands of red and white roses and
myrtle and wreath of white roses
and myrtle tied with red. the Cir
Gle colors, and the grave heaped
high with floral offerings. It was
sight to be long remembered by
the large assemblage in attendance.

CORVALLIS, OREGON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE Is, 1907
WAS ONE OF THE SPEAKERS.
At Grange Picnic-Dr. Kerr-Large
Crowd at Annual Gathering at
Willamette.

DR.. Kerr, president elect of O.
A. c., was a speaker at Willamette
Grange picnic, held at Willamette
Grange hall Friday. w. S. U'Ren
was another, and besides these there
was a generous program Of attrac-
tions. The occasion was the picnic
given annually by the society. 1t
was successful from every stand
point, as all functions by the or
ganization always are. A large
crowd was present in spite of
threatening weather. Slight show
ers of rain fell once or twice, but
they were only enough to freshen
the atmosphere and lay some of the
dust. At noon there was bountl-
full spread, with loads of delicious
edibles, and an invitation for ev-
erybody to partake.
The address of Mr.. U'Ren occu
pied most of the morning hour,
ending at II o'clock. 1t dealt
with political questions of the day,
notably the Initiative and Referen-
dunn. It urged the defeat of the
$1oo, 900 appropriation bill for ar
mories for the Oregon National
Guard, an attitude in which he had
the undoubted sympathy of(the au-
dience. He also declared himself
to be in favor of the compulsory
pass law, but added that most OF
the sentiment of the grange and the
people seemed to be against his
view.
DR.. Kerr's address was informal,
and occupied about IS minutes. II
was more In the nature of a greet
ing to the assembled farmers,
whom he assured he hoped and ex-
pected to know better. He declar'
ed the Willamette Valley to be one
of the most delightful spots he had
seen in the entire country, and in
sisted that its possibilities as well
I as the possibilities of Oregon were
boundless. The day of more in
tensi6ed farming is at hand, and
the husbandman must have bet
ter reward for his effort. A great
deal of noise is made about the
Steel Trust corporation, but the
dairymen of the nation produced
more wealth last year than did the
trust. Their output aggregated
more than $I,125,ooo, 900. The
aggregate products of the farms
was more than six billions, nearly
six times as much as the vaunted
Steel corporation. And by appli
cation of the best methods it is pos
sible to vastly augment the aggre.
gate of these farm products. Eng
land used to yield but six bushel:
of wheat per acre; now her fields
yield an average of 80 bushels pei
acre after being farmed three cen.
turies. Who will lead the way fol
raising the United States average
from IL 1-2 bushels to 90 bushels
per acre9 DIR. Kerr's address was
we'll received and heartily applaud
ed.

was baseball game with Bruce

The development o6 the society sine it's organization in the year f7so has been so rapid that more complete control of the national organization is neceszatE. and for the first time in the history of the society a convention is be- ing held.
