Tbe fact of a safe-cracking in Cor vallis a short time ago is just now com ing to public knowledge. A promi nent business man figures in the af fair, but he Is likely to receive tbe benefit of a whitewashing procees if any person is disposed to make troub le for him. There Is an attempt . ti keep the thing quiet. Inquiry was started by a gentleman who noticed that Dllly was repairing the lock of a safe, and who "obtained from the work man the statement and opinion as above quoted. When, however, the inquisitive man pursued bis Investiga tions further, he . learned that Bob Huston had lately lost the key or tne combination to his t-aCe, and bad se cured access to it by tntaas of a sledge A new industry on an unpreten tious basis is being carried on in tbe j city by V.

Sbe found the bed room full" of smoke and very little further investigation revealed the fact that the house was on fire. The fire had gained much headway and it seemed unlikely that she could smoth er it herself, and she gave an alarm. Fortunately a number of persons wsre in the vicinity on their way "around the world,'' and by prompt and deliberate aetion the flames were extinguished without calling into service the fire department which was on the scene in a very short time. Mrs. Flett and daughter, Lura, were the only occupants of the house when the fire was discovered. The fire or iginated from burning ' soot issuing under the covering ,ot an unused opening In the flue. The damage covered by insurance is believed to be about $35, . Ike Smith is out with the blackest face a white man ever bad; The die-: coloration ruDS'down below bis cellar and he doesn't wear the latest style of neckdress either. His face is awful black. You might think he had been having a 40-round ring fight with Champion Jeffreys, but his face is too black for that. Tbe ace of spades ain't in it at all for black compared with Ike's face. You wouldn't have thought anything could be so black. Oh, my! but it's black fast black, too.-' And Ike thinks if The Times will tell how it happened, it will - re lieve him of much explanation. He undertook to cross a cattle guard a short distance below town and he fell. His arms went between the cross-pieces, but bis head didn't. He struck his head and breast, and received such Injuries as rendered it necessary to have a physician after he reached home. There is a suspicion, however, from his appearance, that when, he fell he wa3 rendered insensible, and that, probably before he refrained con sciousness the train came along and ran over him. MAD BULL KILLED HIM. Attacked Without Warning and Fought Long William Armstrong. "With collar bone broken, several ribs so crushed that their broken ends rested in his lungs, and with many other injuries about the chest and head, William Armstrong, a well known citizen of Benton coun ty, died late Monday evening, two hours after he had been rescued from the furious attack of a Jersey bull. Mr. Armstrong was the father of Mrs. A. O. Bowersox, whose husband died a few years ago, from the effects of a kick from a horse. With Mrs. Armstrong, he resided at the home of Mrs. Bowersox, whose farm, four miles south of Philomath, joins his own. The two families have lived to gether, ever since the death of Ar thur Bowersox. ' The bull that 'killed ILt. Arm strong was a jersey, and was with out horns. The animal had been in the pasture during the day, and in the evening Mr. Armstrong had goneout to bring him to the barn There was a ring in the animal's nose, with chain attached. Mr. Armstaong was on the way to -the barn with the bull, and within ioo or 200 yards of the house the bull made attack. One account is that the man stooped down for some reason and that the bull with a . loud bel low attacked him unexpectedly. Armstrong was knocked prostrate. and after he had fallen the animal kept up the attack, standing over and butting him presittently about the body. Armstrong w8 68 years or age, and this, with his lnjurif s made it impo-Bible for him to do aught, to escape. Not nnt'l the bellowing attracted tbe attention of tbe household, and of tbe 12-year old grandson, corniDg from scho I. aid belp arrive. The brave boy peiztd a club and went at once to tbe rescue of his grandfather, but all his efforts to beat the enraged animal off w?re unavailing. Directed by the victim, he brought a shotgun from the bonce, and sent a charge of shot into tbe bull's nose. This drove the animal away, and with difficulty, the bad ly irjured mao was assisted to the houte. James Henderson, who re Bided half a mile distant was at tracted by tbe bellowing, and eoon arrived ou the ecene. Medical aid was summoned, and Dr. Loggaa ar rived, but only a short time before Mr. Armstrong died,. ..Dr. Cathey of Corvallis, was also BummcrJed, but he did not reach the bedside until afier death bad claimed tbe victim. Ibe attack occurred short ly after four o'clock, and Armstrong died afcer six. John Armstrong, a son, of tbe de ceased has been summoned from Wallace, Idaho, and the funeral ar rangements await hia arrival. IN SCHOOL LAW. FOR WATER BID.

Several Changes-What They are Enumerate now in February. - The last session of the Oregon Legislature made a number of am endments and changes in th school law. Some of them are as follows: The time for the county school sup't to make the apportionment of school funds to the various school districts which has been - made two times a year in April and in Octo ber is now to be made on the first Monday of October and as often thereafter as the county school super intendent may deem advisable. The law provides that districts may consolidate. When such dis tricts are consolidated the-said dis tricts are to receive for five years im mediately thereafter $50 for each district per year united together as many times $50 as there are dis tricts consolidated, t Heretofore to alter or change the boundary line of any organized school district it was necessary to secure the consent of a Tnajof ity of the legal voters of the said district concerned in the change. Under the new law the District Boundary Board which consists of the county judge, two commissioners and the county school snperintedent can cre ate.change oralter the boundry lines ofany district upon being petitioned by three or more legal voters. : The district clerks are. now re quired to have their reports which are read and approved at the an nual school ' meeting reach the county school superintendent by the ioth of July. : In making the school census, the new law provides that this shall be taken during February of each year This census shall include all chil dren between 4 and 20 years who on February 25th actually reside in the district. The Famous. Shoes for Women.; DON'T TORTURE-YOUR FEET ! No woman can ignore her shoes unless she .hands in her resigna tion to polite society. For her shoes determine her walk; and her walk determines her style, her carriage, her posture, her whole attiiiule and bearing as she moves about. . A lady's shoe should always be light in weight and very flexible to to the foot to enable her to walk in an an easy, graceful manner. This is the especial charm that has made Queen' Quality shoes so popular. They are trim and neat in sbape as so many other shoes are, but they go farther than this far ther than any shoe in actually cre ating an elastic, graceful step.
