The big Union Service for JNext Sun day Churches not Unanimous : for it. - " The union service of the church es that was planned by., the : com mittee to bi a leading Sunday fea ture of the three day's celebration of the 4th, is not to be at all. It was the committee's idea to have a quiet, orderly Sunday between the first and last days of the celebration and for the purpose planned a - big anion service with all the churches participating for 1 1 o'clock or the the midafternoon, to be followed, " later by a sacred concert. - But the big union servxe is not to be. " Instead, there will be on the flat near ; Mary's driver bridge, a base ball game between two con testing teams) the game to begin about half past two o'clock The general committee is disappointed in the turn of affairs, but was un able to provide the union service as scheduled. In the beginning, Revs. Carrick. Green and x Moore were appointed a committee of min isters to ascertain and report upon the advisability and possibility of the union meeting. A meeting ot the ministerial association was secured by them,: and : thereat the plan was considered. Subsequent ly, the committee reported to the general committee that it had de veloped that unanimous action could not be secured in the church es with reference to the union serv ice.'- borne iurther attempt- was made with reference to the matter, but it has been finally dropped. and the base ball game has ' been substituted. The sacred concert, will however, be earned out as originally planned, and will take place on Mam street between seven o clock and 8 30 Sunday evening Cooper, Well Known Farm House of Maniy Currier Destroyed by Fire. The farm ; home of Manly Cur rier, together with a large part of the contents, was entirely destroy ed by fire Sunday morning. The residence was one of ' the largest and best known in the county, and was located on the Currier -farm, dozen miles south of Corvallis. The fire occurred about ten o'clock in the morning,' and originated in a back room in the upper - portion of the house A ' lighted lamp : was left by Richard Scott in a bed room while he went out for; a 1 moment. When he Tetufned,v lie found"; the room ablaze- with ; flames, whether due to an explosion of the lamp, or otherwise is not known. By. the time it was discovered the fire was far beyond control, and the efforts of the family were directed to sav ing as much of the contents as pos sible. The building was a large two- story structure, containing a dozen or ntteen rooms, and covered large area of ground. A woodshed in the rear stretched away in the direction of the barn, from which it was only about sixty feet remov ed. Over the woodshed was a work shop, and within a comparatively short time, the whole building was a mass of flames. The removal of furniture soon became difficult, and attention had to be directed to the saving of the barn. Neighbors arrivedanddid their utmost to assist in the work of: saving. ' Most of the articles from the living parlors and other lower rooms, except the kitchen were saved, as was a quan tity of bedding and apparel from the upper story. 1 he piano was carried out, and of the dozen beds in the building, about three were removed. The dishes and kitchen as were other ar Vernon, ! utensils were all burned. Another case of smallpox has appeared. The new victim is Jacob Hurlburt, who resides in the coun try, eight miles south of Corvallis. He came to Corvallis Monday and proceeded to Dr. Lee for a diagno sis of the breaking out on his face. He was at once told that it was smallpox but to make assurance doubly sure, Mr. Hurlburt took id- all the carpets and many tides of use and value. The fire lasted for about two hours, and at the end of that time the big farm house had beeu , re duced to smouldering ruins. ' Dr Charles Lee and wife of this city were guests in the house at the time. Many neighbors, collected on the scene before the conflagration ended. 1 he lamily is now camp ing, three tents having been called into requisition, and the cook wag- ditional medical advice. This . on that goes with the threshing ma time he went to Dr. Farra, by whom the same diagnosis was giv-! en. Mr, Hurlburt hurried out of town at once. The case is describ-, ed by the physicians to be well de veloped, but of mild type. . Misses Emma and Celia Tor tora entertained - a number of friends at a picnic at their country home Sunday. The party number ed eighteen, and a most enjoyable day was spent by the guests. Those invited were, Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Sheasgreen, Mr. and Mrs. A. J.

Race for a Land Title How an sea Rancher Saved his Home, Al- A dusty, , travel-stained man waited at the court house, when people came down town to business the other morning. ' ' He had been there since the early, hours of the morning It was seven o' clock when the court house janitor ap peared, and of - him the stranger inquired at what hour the . clerk's office would be open. When told that the office opened to the public. another hour's vigil. The stranger was Samuel Bo wen of Alsea.: He has lived on a home stead in that country for the past five years. ,- He has a house and barn, two or three miles ' of fence and other improvements. He was on hand the moment the clerk's office opened and he plunged at once into his errand. He explained that he wanted to file on the home stead. He had never filed an en try on it, but had been holding it on the filing of ' a : former "home steader who had subsequently de serted the place. ; When the business was over Mr. tsowen conhded to a mend in town the secret of his anxiety. He had heard late the previous even ing that another party was going to jump his home. Because Bowen had never made his entry filing; this .was -easily -possible. Bowen had mounted a horse, immediately on hearing of the other man's in tention, and started post haste for Corvallis. The next day after Bowen made his filing, another, party appeared at the clerk s office to file on three fourths of the . land occupied by Bowen, but he came too late. His name was not-learned. CUPID'S LATE CAPER. On a Railroad Train How a Cascade Couple Took in the Excursion. - They took in. the Sunday excur sion this certain couple did. They were a laddie and lassie from some where in the Cascades, over - for a day at the ocean beach. If there is anything :- in signs, according to the statements of: passengers, ' he loved her and she: loved him; They gazed deep down into the depths of each other's eyes and by other manifestations, gave- evidence of their mutual admiration. - By and by, as they journeyed on, their heads nodded and nodded to ward each other, until they finally touched. There had been an early morning start on the train, a day at the beach, and it is not wonderful that they fell asleep, especially with two hearts beating taps on two diaphragms, with all the energy with twhich a small ..boy layg .Ahje.. ,sfck ior iue nrsi time on a new srjare drum. It was an - innocent peace ful scene of love and trust, but it amused the passengers. Presently, a young woman who doesn' t live a thousand miles from Corvallis, took her veil, and with it tied the two tired heads together. Thus linked the two hearts beat on while the cars thundered over the bridges and through the tunnels until Blodgett was reached when there was a stir in the seat of the Cascade lad and lassie. One of them awoke, and in the effort at freedom, the other was awakened. Both tugged at the knotted veil, while all the people in the car looked on and guffawed. When the veil was finally unloosed it was thrown on the floor with . a spitefulness to have frightened Carrie Nation in a full career with her hatchet. The spooney couple ana tne seaside are almost synony mous and this new pair from the Cascades are not the first to afford a carfull of people an hour of di version. - Excursion Rates to Yaquina Bay.
