Albany has a hog case in the
courts that for long and persist
ent litigation bids fair to rival
the famous historical calf case.
Last year four hogs broke out of
some ones enclosure and invaded
somebody's cabbage patch. They
were taken up; lawsuits, coun-
tersuits andappealshave followed,
until now the cause goes to the
circuit court and is likely to reach
the supreme court. The porkers
have lcng since been butchered
and eaten. but the contest goes
on and on, and the costs have
reached many times the original
value of the property.

For. Presidential Electors

Mr.. Bryan is doomed to disap-
poirtment wherever he tries to
get in touch with practical busi-
ness men. He represents princi-
pies and conditions antagonistic
to them. They carry RESPONSE
bilities that forbid indulgence in
visionary politics and the whims
of an untried agitator who thinks
only of his own ambitions. They
deal with hard-headed verities,
while Mr.. Bryan is addicted to
fad issues that he drops, when
they play out, with a cheerful
air of never having been ac-
quainted with them.
Business men with ballast have
no use for the Bryan fads, and
among business men are includ-
ed all who are actively employed.
To the worker who has little
property the matter of employ
ment at remunerative wages is
of supreme Importance. Farm
ers have a similar stake Mr..
Bryan invites campaign contri-
buttons from these classes. What
for? Can they afford to take
him and his windy pretensions
OH blind faith? They cannot
safely risk their means of liveli-
hood on politician who has been
twice defeated by the people and
who is identified with discarded
issues that he no longer dares to
defend.

Burglars seem to have nearly
cleaned out Philomath last Fri
day night. They entered the
residences of James Evars, the
banker, DR.. Newth and Merchant
John Bennett, securing about
$50. The thieves were experts,
because they opened screens and
doors and rummaged around
like old hands at the business.
At Mr.. Evars they entered his
bedroom, carried his pants down
into the dining room, lit a lamp
and rified his pockets. They
also entered the bedroom of Miss
Gilless, a guest, opened bureau
drawer and took her pocketbook.
At DR.. Newth's s they secured $2S,
leaving a pocket knife and sew
eral checks. Mr.. Bennett was
relieved of only small amount.
They also attempted to enter the
residence of Rev. J. R. Parker,
but were frightened away. No
clue or trace of the thieves can
be found. There were number
of tramps and strangers seen in
town that day.

PASSING OF MRS. GILBERT.
Death From Typhoid Fever. "A
Former Corvallis Woman.

The remains Of the late Mrs.
| Clay Gilbert arrived on the $50
train yesterday morning, from
Medford, where Death entered
the home Sunday morning about
10 o'clock and robbed it of the
dearly loved wife and mother.
Mention of Mrs. Gilbert's illness
from typhoid fever was made in
these columns a few days ago
and the parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
W. P. Darby, were summoned
to the bedside the last Of the
week, arriving just before the
melancholy event took place.
The funeral was held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Darby in
this city, yesterday afternoon at
$50, the services beng conduct
ed by Rev. A. W. Darby, uncle
of the deceased, and interment
was in Crystal Lake cemetery.
Mrs. Gilbert was i'll but four
weeks, three of which she was
confined to her bed. All that
love and skill could accomplish
was done, but to no avail.
Stella Darby was born in Don
ovan county, Kansas, 26 years
ago, and was married to Clay
Gilbert in Oklahoma five years
ago the 18th OF next month.
Four years ago she came with
her husband and parents to Cor
Wallis, where she resided up to a
few months ago when Mr.. Gil
bert obtained a position at Med
ford and the family moved there.
The sorrow-stricken husband
and a three ear-old baby daugh-
ter, the parents, brothers and
sisters and a legion Of warm
friends deeply mourn the pass
ing of Mrs. Gilbert, who was a
lady Of refined and lovable ma
ture, esteemed by all with whom !
she came in contact. The SYM
pathy of the community is ex-
tended the bereaved family.

A great many people shun
canned goods, and in view of~the
report that a liberal supply of
Bryan's speeches are to be canned
by the photographic preservative
process and retalied all over the

age Of toxics and anti-toxins
there may develop in contin-

The Brooklyn Eagle (Indeperd-
ent democratic) making compar-
ison between Taft and Bryan
says:
"The nation is confined to a
choice between two men. The
Eagle prefers Mr.. Taft and will
oppose Mr.. Bryan. Taft is by
nature, culture and action a con-
servative, with an experience of
indicated value in Jurisprudence
and administrative work. Bry-
ans skin holds the core of a rad
ical, the temperament of an ac-
tor, the instinct of Bohemian,
and the gay residence Of an ad-
venturer on every sea of expedi-
ency. Taft steers by the light of
conscience, reason, judgment,
constitution and history. Bryan
begins life every morning-and
has sobercd in demeanor only by
the contact with occasions. Oc-
casions have wrought no mental
or moral change in him at all. No
thoughtful man would make Bry-
an his executor. No thoughtful
man should make Bryan his ex-
ecutive.''

The citizens of Eugence have
started a movement the object
of which is to secure the greatest
possible protection against the
sale of impure milk and butter
and unhealthful meats in that
city, and the physicians are tax
ing an active part in it. Some
other cities might find it profit
able to follow Eugene's example.
The methods of handling milk
and cream in some places should
be looked into. The writer of
this had occasion to visit an
Oregon creamery not long ago,
and noticed that the employee
who was receiving the cans of
cream from the farmers tested
each can by thrusting not overly
clean fist into it, then into his
mouth. Such practices are not
pleasant to contemplate by those
who have to use creamery butter,
and we mention the incident only
to emphasize the assertion that
there is need of stringent rules
governing the handling and man.

A Maine paper makes the fol-

Hawaii
The Governor Of Hawaii says
Uncle Sam made a good trade in
getting the islands and ought to
be willing to furnish some of the
money for running them. Of
course. That is the result of
having dependencies.
This rumor would be humilia-
ting to Hawaiians were it but
true. However Uncle Sam has
no reason to regret his bargain on
any score, let alone financial
one. Here are the facts
The u. S. customs receipt in
the Territory amounts to between
$1,000,000 and $1,000, per
year being among the first Amer
lean fifteen custom houses in
point Of receipts.
