In the December number of "The Violinist'' published in Chicago, in the interest of tbe violin world, and fore most In its flald. appears the follow ing notice or review: "'Prof. Butbyn Turney, violin instructor at the Ore gon Agricultural College, Corvallis, Ore., has published a set of studies which ha calls .Violin Technic.': They are admirable for the use of a stud ent wno nas carelessly run tnrouga a method for beginners and has the usual tault3.

Trainmen have had their troubles at the Southern Pacific station for the past few days. While the freight was transferring a number of cars from the S. P. to the C. & E. depot Monday night, a car loaded with Bteel rails jumped the track and butted In to another car. The impact was . violent enough to put both cars out of service, and to tear up a couple of rail lengths of track. The incident happened near the ' junction of the transfer track with the S. P. and at a time when the transfer was filled with loaded cars. The inability of a loco motive to pass the wreck congested, matters in such a way that a . special train bad to be sent out of Portland to straighten out the tangle. ' A car repairer is at work on the two dam- aged cars, and it is expected that they will be able to leave the station this morning, .... t Born Tuesday to Mr. Mrs. Waiters daughter. j .

Horning has sold out all tbe high-class poultry which he advertised In "The Tlrafs' and he wishes to give urgent notice to that effect.

For giving lfqaor to minors, two young men were convicted under the state Hw in .Justice Holgate's court Thursday.

Tha quality of these prunes, which are of tbe Italian variety, is the finest tbe world produces, and every box of them sent abroad with labels accred iting their production and pack to Benton county, is a most effective ad vertisement. An open box of - these prunes as packed by the local com pany is an object well calculated to cb arm the eye of an epicure, with its regularly laid rich fruit, laca paper and attractive label. There should be much local pride awakened by one of these packages. " A. double wedding occurred Wed nesday at thehomeof Mrs. Tucker.The hiuh contracting parties were Arthur C.

And he is After the Bugs Spencer and the Cockroaches- There is bloodshed and death down at Spencer's barber shop, and the probability of, a greater flow of- gore and more work for the Man on the White Horse is immin ent. . There are big cockroaches by the million in the building where the Commercial restaurant was, and since the latter was closed, hosts of ihe bugs are over-running Spencer's shop. The bugs are so big and numerous that it has be come a serious question with Spen cer whether he or the bugs are to occupy his tonsorial parlors and run the business. To add to . the complexity of the situation a shoot ing gallery has been opened by Harvey Sargent where the restaur ant was, and the reckless shooting of the men who - shall become pa trons there, Spencer fears may cause an, even greater flight of the cock roaches into his establishment. After thirty years or . more of success in the barber business in Corvallis, Spencer is not inclined to be run out of the trade by an impertinent bunch of cockroaches and he has made up hn mind to stay with the shop at all hazards, and to fight the bugs to the last ditch. A sticky paste, fatal to such bugs, and left at night in the shop, provides much funeral ma terial each morning, but still the marching thousands come, with no sign of relenting in their known de sign of capturing the shop. How ever, Spencer is de e'rmined to make good his claim to the right to run his own business, and will if neces sary set steel traps for the invad ers, or as a final resort make a last desperate stand for his rights, by a valiant personal encounter, razor in hand. - .His most comforting hope is that it may become a popular . sport in the gallery to shoot cockroaches in stead of at targets, in which event there is salvation for Spencer and millions in it for Sargent. FIFTEEN DEAD. Goats That ate Mushrooms Was it on Account of Poison.' Fifteen goats are dead on the farm of Ed Blake who resides on the Writsman place on Soap Creek, and it is understood that mushrooms or toadstools are respensible for the I fatality. A week or two ago, Lee Brown lost a gpat, and a post mor-! tem examination of the stomach j showed the presence of mushrooms j to which death was ascribed. At ! another time, a fine steer on the j farm of John Smith in the same lo cality was found ded, A big toad stool or mushroom that had appear-ently-been bitten by the aDimal was found near, and to this fact was generally ascribed the death of the steer. .- ' . . The Blake goats were found dead in a fir thicket in " which mush rooms were abundant.. There is no doubt in the vicinity that the fa tality is the result of eating the plant. Professor Pernot at the col lege is anxious to get specimens of the stomachs of the dead goats, in order to determine whether death was the result of poison, or acute indigestion. : Portions of some of the . carcas ses were found : bnried, apparently by wild animal, and is supposed that a panther is lurking in the i vicinity. It is the purpose of men in the neighborhood to get hounds and rout the marauder from his lair. ' ' Make vour friend a Xmas present of a stiletto pocket knife. For sale by Berry &Catl.
