THE LATE DAVID PETERS Was Rated Among Heaviest payers in Polk County. Tax- David Peters, who died at his home near Perrydale, Polk county, August 14, 1907, was a native of Schonort, Russia. He was born November 14, 1833, and was tnererore nearly years old at the time of his death. He emigrated to Canada in 1879, and settled in Gretna, Manitoba, where he conducted a mercantile establishment for many years. He came to Oregon in 1890 and bought a large tract of land near Perrydale. Mr. Peters was one of Polk county s most successful farmers and managed his business affairs with much ability. By never-failing industry and econ omy, he accumulated a large fortune, and at the time of his death was one of the heaviest taxpayers in the county. He was a kind and pleasantold gentle man and was strictly honest in his business dealings. He will be greatly missed by his friends and neighbors in the German settlement north of Dallas. He is survived by a wife and seven children. The children are: D. D. Peters, Mrs. G. D. Braun, Mrs. G. G. Rempel, Misses Lizzie, Anna and Mary Peters of Dallas, Oregon, and Mrs. G. Rempel, of Sask, Canada. Legal blanks at this office. A fresh line of Gunther's fine candies. Stafrin Drug Company. Squib's Ground Spices, purest and strongest made. Stafrin Drug Com pany. .

Ben Gilliam, a son of Hon. Smith Gilliam, one of Polk county's pioneer Sheriffs, and a nephew of Mrs. Frank Collins of this city, was killed in Cobre, Nevada, last Wednesdoy.while defend ing his employer's store from a pair of holdup men. The following account of the tragedy is taken from the Walla Walla Bulletin : Ben Gilliam was the only one of the seven men in the store at the time who did not immediately obey. the coramandf the robbers, to hold up their hands. Instead, he reached for his gun, and received a bullet in the head from a 38-40 Colt's automatic, in the hands of one of the holdups, Although he lived for about an hour and a half, he did not regain con sciousness from the time he was shot. "The holdup which resulted in his death occurred between 10 and 11 o clock Wednesday night Beside Mr. Gilliam, there were half a dozen ranchers and railroad laborers in the store at the time. One of the robbers entered the store from the front and the other from the reai. They pulled their guns and demanded that every body hold up their hands. "Gilliam was standing behind the counter at the front of the store and facing the rear. He did not see the man who had entered from the front, and thinking that he had butoiie man to deal with, made a reach for his gun. He was Immediately shot from behind. "He fell to the floor, and the robber took another shot at him, In order to make sure that he was not shamming. This shot did not hit him, however. and before he could fire a third, the men in the room remonstrated with him, saying that he had already killed his man and that it was no use to mutilate the dead. " 'So you think he is dead, do you?' said the robber. 'Well, go around and find out, if you don't want the same dose.' "He compelled one of the other men in the store to go behind the counter and drag Mr. Gilliam's body out into the room, so that his partner could cover him with the rest, in case he was shamming. He then went to the cash register and secured the cash, amount ing to about $1,200. They then backed out and made their escape. "Immediately after the robbers departed, a switch engine was started for the next town 18 miles away, to seoure a doctor, as there was no physician in Cobre. Before the engine returned, however, Mr. Gilliam had breathed his last. He died without regaining consciousness. 'Mr. Hillman secured the aid of a party of Indian braves and as soon as it was light enough the next morning, started out on the trail of the robbers. Although they had succeeded in get ting a good start, the Indians over hauled them and one of the desperad oes was killed, The other succeeded in making his escape. The bullet which killed Mr. Gilliam was a 38 calibre. It entered the skull on the left side, coming out at the rear and slightly to the left, lodging in the wooden wall of the building. 'The funeral of Mr. Gilliam will be held from the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Gilliam, 315 Newell street, at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and interment will be In the city cemetery.

It verily seems to my erudite mind, That this thing is true throughout all human kind : Tls beyond all the power of mere masculinity, To fathom the foibles of fair femininity; And if this broad statement seems doubtful to you, We can adduce the proofs that will show it is true. Observe how the damsels, with pow der and paint, Produce fair complexions where really they ain't; Or tresses, per se, of a raven-black tone, Are altered, per oxide, 'til blonde they have grown. Or how, when a mouse In the oorner she sees, She has the hysterics with infinite ease. Thin maidens to padding serenely will turn. 'Til they look like the peg on the top otacnurn; They screech at a snake, as if demon possessed, Yet they'll lug a green lizard about on their breast; If they see a big bulldog, they take to the trees, But they'll kiss a fat poodle, all cov ered with fleas. Yet of all of the foibles of feminine kind, (And many they seem to the pondering mind,) The folly of follies we heartily hate Is the "Teddy Bear" craze that has struck them of late. Oh, tell me, how is it a woman should care To lug In her arms a stuffed Theodore Bear? While this thing so fondly you cuddle and kiss, O, beautiful woman, pray think upon this: That where there's one bear, there are anyliow ten Of lonesome, but pettable, kissable men, Whose innermost heartstrings are smitten with pain, To think that they all were created in vain I Oh, think how it angers the average chap, When you take a stuffed Teddy Bear up in your lap, And cast in its button eyes, glassy and dim, - The languishing glances you might cast at him. He'll forgive (you all else, but eter nally swear That he'll never forgive you that The odore Jtsear. The feminine freaks, as I mentioned before, They truly are many, and they will be more ; For 'tis out of the sphere of the mascu line mind To fathom the ways of the feminine kind: Yet the folly of follies they heartily hate, Is the Teddy Boar fad that has struck you of late.
