AT THE FAIA. On Corvallis Day Fifteen Hundred L. There What PortlandPapers Say. Nearly all Corvallis journeyed to the Fair Thursday. It took two special trains to carry the people. In the first section there were i4 coachas and a baggage car. All were filled. In the feoond section, three coaches were filled with Cirvallis ites. The other coaches were for the psople of Independence who al so celebrated on the same day. The number of Indeuendence people that went was 199. With what went down on the special, an i tboee already there, the estimate is that 1,500 Corvallisites were oq tbe grounds during the day. Toose who made the trip are elo quent of what transpired. The fol lowing from the Portland Journal give the detail of what happtnud in. Portland : The longest banner eve' feen io tbe wnrhi, probably, wag that car. ried ibits moroiug by cadtts fiom the Agricultural College at Corval lis, In tbe procession in which more tbai two Ihovmt'd people from B-n-ton end Polk counties march'd from Foufth and Yamhill streets to the exposition grounds. This is Corvallis and' Independ ence day at the grounds, and anoth er record-breaking attendance is expected when the story of the turn stiles is told to night. The npeciul trains cme in on the west side line of the Southern Pacific, arrivicg between 10 and 11 o'clock. Mott of the regiment of cadets from the college came, too, under Command er Quinlan, lieutenant of the Unit ed States Fifth regiment of cavalry. In line were 390 men in uniform. There would have been more- had not some of the students left last week for home, when sshool closed. The banner was not a copy of COXVAL LIS anything ever made before. It was the longtst "ever." There were devices printed on it that told cf the productiveness of Ben ten coun ty, ita wouderful opportunities and the prosperity of its people. Some of the mottoes were: "Gold nuggets grow cn hop vines in Benton county." "No booze in Benton county." "Corvallis is the place where Ad am ate the apple." "Fifty new homeB built in Cjr vallis this year and 50 more under - construction." "No race suicide in Benton coun ty." "Lowest tax rate in the state lev ied in Benton county." '"Benton leads in everything ex cepting area." "Homer Davenport isn't the only man who raises pheasant ; half a dozen do in Corvallis." "Every other home in Corvallis has a telephone." "Greaiest rural teleplona hf tem in the west iu BcD'on coiDty.'- "UorvaiUs, the educawobal cen ter of the state. " "S'jme sheep sheer 22 pciutds t) the fliece in Bento- county that's going fome. Tte cadefs are a sturdy lot o young leuowp, toiaieny in tneir bearing, &nd scholarly in appear ance. They are well disciplinfd and obeyed the commands of iheii officers quite as well as do veterans of a war. The full complement of the regiment is 480 men and, -when the college is in session, the quota is kept filled. it was estimated that not Icfs than 2,500, perhaps 3,000, persons from Benton and Polk counties are m rortland today. Many came yesterdav, and when added to those who arrived this morning made tlo?e duplicate in point of numbers of the crowd that was here yeeter day for Salem day. The cadets from Corvallis arrived At the fair grounds shortly before 1 o'clock and were met at the Twen ty-eightn street entrance by an ex position band and escorted to the auditorium, where special exercises were held. J. Fred Yates, chair man of the Lewis ond Clark com mittee of Corvallis, presided and the Oregon Agricultural band play ed the opening selection. H. E. Dosch made the address of Welcome on behalf of the fair management and responses were made by Mayor A. J. Johnson of Corvallis aed Rev. Mr. Elair of Independence. Dr. Withycombe of the State Universi ty, W. B. Butler of Monmouth and W. S. McFadden of Corvallis aio spoke. After the exercises the wo men of Benton county served light refreshments and the cadets went into camp on the riv-r front, where they will remain for several days. - After declaring that the Corvallis demonstration far exceeded that t-f Salem, the Oregonian says: One of the banners was several hundred feet in length, and it is said to be the largest streamer ever in Portland. It required 55 cadets of the Oregon Agricultural College to carry it. When the cadets were crossing the bridge of All Nations at the Exposition grounds the streamer extended nearly a third of the length of the structure. The immense banner, wVich was com posed of red acd white cloth adorn ed with yellow ribbons from the j staff? that supported t, enumerated the wonderful advantages of Cor vallis. "Let it rain, Corvallis is dry"; "Crops never fail in Benton county"; "Lowest tax rate in Ore gon"; "No potato or chinch bugs, ody ; grasshoppers for fish bait," "Dollars" grow on sbtep in B-iriton county,'" and "Every other family in Corvallis has a tele phone," were eeveial of the inscrip tions on tbe mammoth streamer. So Ancient Tnat Their Use Is Men- tloned In tbe Bible. The custom of carrying flags or stand ards In battle dates back at least to 1490 B. C. We find in Numbers ii, 2, that "every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard with the ensign of his father's house." Each standard of the twelve tribes thus distinguished was supposed to have been of a color to correspond with the stone in Aaron's breastplate which bore the name of that tribe. Under the generic name banner are included many species, such as standard, ensign, pen non, flag, etc. These have been used from earliest times'and in all countries to direct movements of troops. The earliest Roman standard was a bundle of straw fixed to the top of a spear. This was succeeded by fig ures of animals, such as the horse and the boar, which soon gave place to the eagle, the chief Roman ensign, after ward assumed by the German' and French emperors. By every warlike people the banner has been regarded as an emblem of national honor, in de fense of which each soldier was at all times ready to die, while banners and flags taken from the enemy have al ways been special trophies of victory to which places of honor in public buildings have been assigned. BOOTS AND SPURS. Quaint Account of Hungarian Cav- airy In Olden Day. A contemporary manuscript account of the diet of Ratisbon, held in 1630 by the Emperor Ferdinand IL on the oc casion of the landing of Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden In Germany, men tions as a remarkable fact that the Hungarian cavalry who rode through the streets to the ceremonial wore their spurs on their boot soles. It is difficult to credit that these spurs were fixed on the flat of the boot, for thus shod the horsemen could nei ther walk nor stand, especially when the large size of the spurs worn at the period is considered. Probably the writer intended to Indicate that In stead of being fastened to the heel in the usual fashion they were made to project from the fore part of the mill tary boot, which is a portion of the sole. Frederick von Raumer, who quotes this in his "History of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, Illustrated by Original Documents," passes the matter over without comment. The same manuscript adds that the Hunga rian horses had their manes, tails and feet painted red. Ancient Drinking Guilds. It is gravely said by an authority that the Dutch guilds, the most ancient of workingmen's organizations, had their origin in the drinking guilds, which, although they did not, as in the case of the Greeks and Romans, exalt drink to the rank of a deity, made it a kind of civic dignitary. These drink guilds and drink brethren existed from the earliest times until the latter part of the sixteenth century, when- then- excesses led to their suppression. It Is held that inen who worked together drank together and thus formed the primitive club which developed into the guild. Notes and Queries. Hose of Olden Time. In the very long ago hose were not stockings as now worn, but made long and were often drawn up even to the waist, and, oddly enough, had pockets in their sides. We read, moreover, that in the time of the Tudors and Stuarts they were of great variety, both of material and color, and for such as could command the luxury were rich ly trimmed and costly; they were often called "nether stocks." Useless Labor. "Don't be afraid of making me angry by telling me your candid opinion of my verses, old fellow. Criticism doesn't make any difference with me." "I know that, my dear boy, but the trouble is that it doesn't make any difference with your verses either." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Slna-nlar and Plural. "Funny! There was a time wfken tho barbers used to speak of my hair." "You mean before you began to get bald?" "Yes. Now they speak of my hairs."

S. soldiers who eerved in Cuba dur ing the Spanish war know what this dis ease is, aud that ordinary remedies have little more effect than so much water. Cuban Diarrhoea is almost as severe and dangerous as a mild attack of cholera. There is one remedy, however, that can alwavs be depended upon as will be seen v the following certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: hereby certify that Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband of a severe attack of Cuban Diarrhoea, which he brought home from Cuba. We had several doctors but they did him no good. One bottle of this rem edy cured him, as our neighbors will tes tify I thank God foi so valuable a med icine." For sale by Graham &Wortham.
