A Young: Boy Behind the Bars Is a Benton County Lad. - .The.spectaele of a young boy be hind the bars impressed those who saw the sight at the Benton coun ty 3 ail Thursday. The-lad is James Keyes, son of widow Keyesr and is scarcely more than 15 or -16 years of age. He was arrested m Philo math by Sheriff Burnett -Thursday forenoon, on a warrant from Doug las county. The charge is petit larceny. The boy frankly admits his guilt, l. The offense was committed near Roseburg last week. The boy was the guest of an aunt, who with her family, was picking prunes - in an orchard in the vicinity. Woman like, she had her money in a stock ing, and the latter was tied to the limb of a bush in a secret spot at the camp. She supposed it was all safe there, : but young Keyes appears to have been familiarv with the hiding place, and of. the owner ship of the money. At any. rate, $5 turned up missing one day, and at the same time Keyes disappear ed. The county authorities began a search for him, and Sheriff Bur- nett was notified tobe on . the loofc out. Keyes was expected to arr rive in Benton on Monday's train, but he disappointed the officers by failing to be aboard. After arrest, the boy ' admitted that he took the money. He ; said that there was $80 or $90 in . the stocking, and that it belonged to his aunt. He was. homesick, he said, and took the money to pay his fare. WILLIAM IN PAIN There has been a lively trade In wheat tor the past wees or 10 days, xne price is 04. and many farmers unwilling to take chances on ' the fu ture, are selling- Both local mills have been buying heavily, and the estimate is that half the crop has passed out of tbe farmers hands and the latter have the cash.

The day has nos been set, but Manager Johnson ex pected yesterday morning -that it would be about Wednesday or Thurs day.

Yates achieved reputation the other day as a taster. It happened in a town drug store, where a mysterious plant was under investigation by several .bystanders.. -When Wil liam came along, they told him it was awfully good to eat, and invit ed him to have a chew. He eyed the thing suspiciously until M M Davis and Dr Farra. in the role of decoy ducks each tasted and with a smack of the lips said the-stuEF was delightful. . ' ' '- : It was then that William did just what the others wanted him to, and bit off and began to chew vigorously a liberal cud. A pig J with its tail twisted in a fence or a boy with a doughnut in his throat never became more violent. The stuff was hotter than a streak of electricity. .To it, Tobasco sauce is as an icicle to a red hot poker, and William r be haved accordingly. - He expector ated, thrust" his tongue out for fresh air, bowed his neck and suck' ed wind. He sighed for the Arctic ocean to drink or a glacier to bite. He shed tears, pawed dirt, and fin ally ran to a hydrant for water. - And all the time the bystanders were cruel enough to laugh im moderately. -; ' i : : ' '.. '- , MANY OUT Children Slow About Entering the Public School The Teachers. On account of hoppicking and other employment, the attendance of the first week at the public school has been very light. In one of the rooms, but eight pupils hadappear ed up to yesterday morning. 'In several of the other rooms, the en rollment was very small. The con dition is not significant of . the fu ture weeks of school, for it is known that the attendance this year will be larger perhaps than in any form er year. The congested condition of Corvallis houses in spite of . the fact that many new dwellings have been built during - the . past . few months, is certain indication that all the room will be crowded in due time. The school board has under con sideration the election of " a tenth teacher. No step has been taken in that direction, but is understood, to be among the possibilities. The list of teachers is.' Prof Holmes, principal; Prof Tartar, eight grade; MrsCramer seventh; Mrs Camp bell, sixth: Miss Noble," fifth: Miss Alderson, fourth; Miss McCormick third; Miss Wicks, second; and Miss Kerns, first.

WAS A GREAT FIRE But Nobody Saw "it Swept the Sum- . mit of Mary's Peaa. - The story of the late burning of the grass" on the summit of Mary s Peak is confirmed. . John Wyatt was up there theother day, and he reports, that fire has swjspt all the open space on top of the Peak as far westward as what is known as The Branch." There apparently the flames were stayed, and beyond it the "tall, grass is undisturbed. The fire is supposed to have been a sensational sight, as the flames raged in "" very tall and very thick grass. At the time -it occurred, however, the atmosphere was so smoky and dusty that it all happen ed without being observed by man. Otherwise the country might have been electrified with belief that the old mountain had become a raging volcano, with all the consternation and panic incident thereto.
