TREACHERY. ADDalhns:. indeed, are ne con ditions today in Boise, Idaho. The trials of Moyer, Haywood ' and Pettibone for complicity in the murder of Gov. Steunenberg, of Idaho, are ramdly ia mng so serious an aspect as to be of national interest ani impor tance. As is known to nearly all, it is. beyond doubt a fact that the chances for seeurin r jury of 12 men fearless enough to bring in a verdict strictly in ac cordance with the evidence sub- the case are very slender. So much for the threats of the fed- eratiowists. This seemed bad enough, but recent disclosures indicate a condition still worse. In recent dispatches it is stat ed that some of those in the con fidence of the prosecution have been proved threacherous and faithless to the cause of those they served. The state has been dealt a blow in it3 attempt to bring the guilty to account. Treachery, conspiracy and cor ruption seem to be everywhere to work a miscarriage of justice in the cases in question. And federated labor has become the handmaid of all this dirty work. r Far better would it have been for every honest man connected with federated or union labor had their representatives placed no obstacles in the way of a fair and impartial trial of those de clared accessory to the murder of Idaho's governor. Better still would have fared their cause had the Chicago federation insisted in the prosecution of those deem ed guilty, that the odium of con spiracy for a miscarriage of jus tice might not attach to them. Trusted officials of the state have proved treacherous. Of all damnable things there ire none worse than threachery, 'nlessit be ingratitude. BOEDEEING ON C 'V.T. 'The history of the world at all aces has drawn especial atten tion to a mother's love 'or her offspring, both in mankind and among lower creatures of the animal kingdom. It has been recognized, fostered and protect ed even in our courts of equity. And so it should be, for there is no truer or better emotion known to mankind than that called "mother love." An incident in the street car strike in San Francisco a few days ago is of more than passing moment when seriously consider ed. In giving an account of the situation the following paragraph appeared in the associated press dispatches: A number of women living in Point Loboa refuge camp armed themselves with missiles of various eons and bom barded a passing car. Tbey were doing c.-nsiderable execution when the police interfered. Later in the dav some of these warlike women laid their babies on the car tracks and were again chased off by the police after several cars had thus been blockaded. This strikes the mind of an average person so hard that they are almost paralyzed. Here are mothers jeopardizing the lives of their infants. They have not the least excuse for such an action. In blind frenzy and re bellion against the conditions imposed by law and order they resort to murderous tactics and take chances on the possibility of the motorman not seeing the helpless babes stretched on the tracks before an oncoming car, in which event their babes would be ground to atoms. Suppose the motorman could not control his car and the in fants had been run over? Would not the mothers ba guilty of murder in that event? They would have willfully killed their offspring: and that is all there is to the matter, for no good im pulse ever prompted a deed so dastardly, so inhuman, so for eign,to what the love of a good mother should be. ,w S:Kx It is hard to. say what ; the punishment for-; suca mothers should be.,, f hey are frenzied fanatics with murderous tenden cies. They are noc omy unde sirable citizens, .but , are a men ace to the welfare, of the com monwealth. And yet such crea tures are allowed life and liberty that they may propagate the earth with their kind. Nothing short of a miracle could make an upright and respectable citizen of the progeny of such mothers. "Mother love" is foreign to the instincts of such women and they become lower than any creature of the animal kingdom or the birds of the air. In the knowledge that tew women are capable of the act credited these degenerate San Francisco moth ers the better class of people have much to be thankful for. Our Indictment. Many of our readers have no doubt read in the Portland dailies articles to the effect that B. F. Irvine, editor of the Corvallis Times, and the undersigned of the Gazette, have been indicted by the federal grand jury. So far we have been given no offi cial notice of the specific charge and have no more information to ive our readers than is afforded by the Portland papers. From these papers it appears we are charged with sending pa pers containing lottery adver tisements through the mails. The lottery notice must have appear ed in the regular advertisement ot some of our local merchants. The publication was the result of nadvertance and lack of know- edge we claim the innocence of ignorance. At no time have we had any knowledge that we were violating the law. There is no likelihood of the matter as suming proportions of seriousness and we trust those who know us will continue to maintain their trust in our honesty and desire to at all times observe the law and live up to it. Ruthyn Turkey. "OLD ARKANSAS." Next Wednesday Night at vallis Opera House. Cor- The above well known play will be with us for one night Wednesday, May 22nd, and we will be given the same produc tion as when played in the larger cities. "Old Arkansaw" is pre sented by the same management as the "Missouri Girl," and is a close second to that popular com edy. It is termed a melodramat ic comedy, there is an interesting plot, replete with situations that make you hold your breath in the excitement of the scenes. The comedy element is a strong fea ture, and more than half of the evening's entertainment is a con tinuous roar of laughter. The characters are true to life-depicting the dialects and ways ot the people of this quaint old State. Magnificent sceuery and mechan ical effects are carried for the pro duction. Prices of admission will be 35, 50 and 75 cents. Sale opens Monday morning. Guaranteed by Graham & Wells. If the bead aches, if the back and side are painful, if there is distress and nausea after eating , if yon are sleepless, nervous and out of sorts get a 50c box of Mi-o-na from Graham & Wells with the absolute certainty that the remedy will cost you nothing unless it gives yon freedom from all ills and pains and re stores yon to health. Use Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and your ill health will soon be gone and yon will forget that yon have ever bad indi gestion or its resulting ills. The proscect is favorable for a large crop ot pears in the Willamette valley this year. The value of pears grown in this valley depends very much upon their freedom from scab. The first spray ing witn Bordeauv mixture for prevent ing scab ought to have been given before this time, bnt if not done yet, the sooner the better.' The trees and fruit should be dry when the spraying is done. Ag-i-culturiet. KEET U. OF 0. TODAY. Pullman Men at Eugene Will ' Discussing tbe track meet that will be puilen off in - jSngene to ddy. Wednesday's Register sayst Pullman's sturdy athletes ar rived iri Eugene yesterday from Corvallis and are in fine fettle for 1 he track contest with Hay ward's men 011 Friday afternoon. ..The men are a 1 ttle discouraged over their defeat with Corvallis bat Hay ward says that tbe Pullman team is much stronger than the score against corvains snows. He anticipates a close meet and will take no chances on Friday but will use every available man. He is allowed fifteen entries. The Washington lads will train on the Kincaid held until the tryout and will become en tirely familiar with the track. This will make it all the more possible for the contest to be close. During the time that j tiiey are here they can get thor oughly at home on the Oregon track and know its advantages and disadvantages, iiewitt, the Puilman trainer, is an old hand at the business and he will have every detail of the track worked out lor tbe advantage of his men. Friday's contest wiil be peculiar in that the two teams will be strong in events in which the op posing iearn is weak. Oregon is strong in the sprints, jumps, vaults, hurdles ' ' and weights. Pullman also is equally strong in weights and exceedingly strong in the middle distances and the distance runs. Pullman also has good second 'and third place men in everv event. This does not mean that a recent number of events will not be closelv contested. On the con trary where one team has almost a certainty of winning an event the other team has second place men who will supply the compe tition. The meet will be won by seconds and thirds. It will be a test of skill on the part of Trainer Hayward and Trainer Hewitt to figure out the second and third place men tor on these will each trainer, have to look for his points. Additional Local. Laurence Hecker of Welis was a Cor vallis business visitor, Wednesday. W. O. Heckart and R. H. Huston were business visitors in Portland, yes terday. Dan Boss, Sr., an old and well known resident of Lobstei, paid Corvallis a visit Wednesday. The 8th grade examinations have been occupying the atteutioa of public school pupils the past two days. Mrs. Joseph Hecker of Wells was the guest, yesterday, of her daughter, Mrs. Arnold King, in this city. J. E. Farmer went to Mill City, Tues day, to look after some timber land which he owns in that vicinity. Ed Felton, Sr., has added to his resi dence a large frost porch which improves the appearance of the dwelling very much. J. W. Berreman, aged 59 years, was buried at Newton cemetery, Tuesday, at 2 p. m., having died the day before at Philomath. Tonight and tomorrow at Philomath the parents' meeting will be held, and there is promise ' of a good attendance and a very good program. It is reported that a large number of residents of Wilkins' addition have been connecting with the mountain water system the past week. Mr. and Mrs." Perry ' Van Fleet and children, of Portlandare expected to arrive today for a visit with their par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Miles Starr.

Am alarm of fire about 7 o'clock, Tuee. day evening, started the department to. wards the saw mill on the double quick and called out one of the largest crowds that has been seen at a fire for a long time. Tbe blaze was on the roof of the mill, but an excellent private water sys tem is ma'ntained at the mill and the fire was extinguished before the fire lad dies were able to reach the scene. There was an alarm Tneeday morning, but it am cunted to nothing. United Evangelical church, C T. Hard, pastor. Morning subject, "Simon, the Cross Bearer;" evening subject, "God's Appointment." The Y M. and Y. W. C A 'a. will accept an invitation to be present at this service. - v. The senior excursion that was to have taken place tomorrow; bas' been post poned; owing to some difficulty in the boat service at the bay.;' The future dale for the excursion ihaa been set for;; the 25th,' which it is claimed wiH be i still better day for the event, ' Articles have been filed by the Eugene & Eastern Railway"Oor to build an eleci-: trie line from Eugene to Prineville and to Corvallis. That sounds big, and as A. Welch, of the Willamette Valley Co., is at the beadofit, it undoubtedly means something. Ex. - ........ There will be the nsual services at the Congregational church next. Sunday : at 10, Sunday School ; 11, preaching by the pastor, Albert W. MooosmiUi. Topip, "Christ's-Appeal to the Will." 7 p. m., Christian Endeavor will be led by Miss Margaret Foells; 8, evening service. subject, "Whitening Harvest F.elds."

While here Mrs. Kelsay celebrated her 75th birthday. She is bale and hearty. In girlhood she was Miss Phoebe Liggett, her parents ' being Benton countv pioneers of 184s. The indications are favorable for a good price for the coming crop of prunes- It is believed that the crop in California will be not more than half as much this year as last and the shortage is especial ly noticeable in the Santa Clara valley. It is freely predicted that Santa Clara prunes can not be bought in that state this year at a lower basis than four cents for the four sizes. In Oregon buyers are oiiering to contract at 2 cents for the four sizes which is equivalent to 4g cents for 40-50s. Agriculturist. j Monday is the city election but there is very Kttle talk and seemingly but little interest in the matter, if one may judge j by appearances. For the office of mayor there are no declared candidates so far as is now known. Karnes have, of course, been discussed, but the candidates them selves have made no public declarations and it is all guess work with the public as to "who is who." As is known, J D. Wells, J. W. Ingle and Lincoln Chambers are out for chief of police, Grant Elgin will run for treasurer and J. F. Yates has consented to allow his name to be used for police judge. Things are moving right along in the matter of tbe celebration for Corvallis. The city council has granted the commit tee on. .arrangements the use of the court house lawn and the streetB, and great plans are being made as to the features tJat will be given during the day. The goddess of liberty will be chosen by vote, each vote costing the yoter one cent, A suitable amount will be set aside for a costume for the goddess. The lady se curing second place wiil represent the goddess of peace and the third place, goddess of plenty. Otto Hathaway has been chosen chairman of the salute torn- miitee, John Alien chairman ,of the mu sic committee, R. H. Huston will Bee to the libertv car, Miss Margaret Fowells is at the head of tbe ladies' committee, and J. Kred Yates wiil be corresponding secretary for the general committee. An effort is to be made by the Albany Merchants Protective Association to run excursions from the adjacent towns to that city once a week throughout the summer months. A committee haa been appointed to confer with the railroad authorities with reference to rates, and if a satisfactory arrangement can be made tree excursions will be run into Albany. The plan is to bring people from one section to town on a certain day of some week to be selected, and the following week operate another free excursion for the benefit of residents in another part of Linn and adjacent counties. The ex pense of the excursions will be borne by tbe different merchants who expect to profit by the increased trade that would result by the influx ot visitors from sur rounding towns. Lebanon Express Ad vance. At a meeting of the executive commit tee of the local union of Christian En- deavorers of Corvallis, held last Tuesday evening, Rev. C. T. Hurd was unani mously elected as a delegate to the Seattle convention to be held in July. Rev. Hurd will have the honor ,o traveling on the first ticket to be sent out by the United Society, with headquarters at Boston, Mass., to the local unions se curing the proper number of subBcrip tions to the "Christian Endeavor World," Corvallis Endeavorers being the first to win a ticket. Arrangements will be made to send ether delegates from this city. It was also decided to hold a "Seattle Rally" in the near future, an nouncements to be made later. A union meeting wiU be held on Sunday, June 2nd, at tbe United Evangelical church to be led by a member of the Congregational society. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ingle went to Woodburn yesterday as the little 15 months old baby boy of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ingle, died Wednesday night with the dread disease, cerebrospinal meningitis. The funeral will occur touay. Both the parents and the grand patents have " the sympathy of Corvallis friends. .. . What Do They Cure? The above question is often asked eon evralng Dr. Pierce's two leading medi cines, 'Golden Medical Discovery" out Favorite Prescription.' The answer is that "Golden Medical Discovery is a most potent alterative ot blood-purifier, and' tonic or invigorator and acts especially favorably in a cura tive way-noon ail the mucous lining sur faces.; a of the nasal passages, throat, broncnial : tubes, 'stomach. - bowels and oladdenHajritig a large per cent, of catar rhal case vvhether fie disease affects tec nasal parses, the tfcmat, larynx, broq ctua, stomacnStas catarrhal dyspepsia). v uiuwiiswwcrsiiieaj. oiaaoer. uterus or oiner pelvic orgff is a powerful yetgSitly i cling invigorat fng tonic ani nervine. For weak worn out, over-worked women no matter what has caused the break-down, "Favorite Prescription " will be found most effective in buiidipar np the strength, regulating the womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about a healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system. , A book of particulars wraps each bott's giving the formulae o both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent med ical authors, whose works are consulted by physicians of all the schools of practice as guides in proscribing, say of each in gredient entering into these medicines. The words of praise bestowed ,on the several ingrr-dients entering into 'Doctor Pierce's medicines by such writers shouiri have more weight than any amount of non - professional testimonials, because such men are writing for the guidance ot their medical brethren and know whereol they speak. Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non secret, and contain no harmful nahit forming druss. being composed of glyev-ir-extracts of the roots of native, American medicinal forest plants. They are both sold by dealers in medicine. You can't afford to accept as a substitute for one ol these medicines of known composition, any secret nostrum.
