The incident of Sunday night in which a quartette of boys threw eggs at an evangelist as he passed ; along the street was wrong. The ! fact that the minister had said some things better left unsaid is not jus-! tification. The act of unknown persons who exaggerated to the preacher such evils as may exist in ; this town partly caused the affair. All towns have their - contingent of people who go to preachers and ' newspapers and want others ripped up but always end the tale with the request, "but don't mention my name." These breathed exagger ated stories into the evangelist's ears, he poured them out in the pul pit, some-who heard went away and exaggerated what he said, people who had not heard were angered by the wonderful accounts of what was supposed to have been said and were not slow to resort to crimina tion and denunciation, most of which was hurled at the pulpiteer. Boys are not men. That some of them should have been grossly misled by what they had heard is not amazing. Whether their of fense is greatest or not, they are the ones to suffer, because their act is wholly indefensible. If one doesn't like a preacher, the thing to do is not to. go to hear him. If others like him, let them be his audience. If he says objectionable things, pay no atten tion to them, for if, untrue, they will be their own denial. And, finally, preachers should pay no at tention to people who tell a great big tale of iniquity and end it with, "but don't mention my name.?' These simple rules if observed will be a sure preventative of such in cidents as that of Sunday evening. TO END "BARE" POLITICS. The Times made a vigorous fight for Statement Number i, and in spite of newspaper opposition to it in their own party, all the republi can legislative candidates have signed. The gentlemen have made no mistake, as the future will dem onstrate The next duty of Benton republicans is to see to it that Mr. Jonathan Bourne gets no support among them for United States sen ator. He organized a conspiracy at Salem which aborted a whole legislative session by preventing organization of the house. .That kind of a political crime against the people cannot be pardoned, nor the man who did it be forgiven. At the coming primaries, let our peo ple show the test of the state that bar 1" politics cannot succeed in Benton. " Of 187 legislative candidates in the state so far, 116 have signed Statement Number i without modi fication, 30 have signed it with ; slight qualifications, and 41 have ' .Ignored it , altogether. Every one of those who failed to sign, regard less of whether he be a democrat or republican, should be defeated. We have all been clamoring for- years for election of senator by direct vote, and now when the reform is within reach, all so-called states men who stand in its way, should be brushed aside. A NEW PEST. LIBEL AND DAMAGES. The Lady Believed she had Discovered Proved to be a Familiar one. As to caterpillars, here i3 a true story on the subject. : A Corvallis lady who worked with her fruit trees on a fine day recently dis covered ridges around the branches and trunk in many places, The color was almost the same as the bark. She thought the phenom enon queer and concluded after ex tended investigation that it was a new pest, not before reported. She succeeded by. considerable effort, in dislodging a number of the rings from the branches, and put them away in the, house, A day or two ago. she told a friend of the incident and went to gethe rings to show the guest the new pest.. Her consternation was lifted to a high pitch when to her dismay she found that what she thought to be solid rings was in reality caterpillar eggs, and further, that the warm air of the room had hurried the hatch ing process and that little cater pillars from the rings were crawl ing about the place. From the in cident those who have fruit trees may find a way o destroy the cater pillars by the wholesale by attack ing them while they are yet un hatched. w Charged Criminally and Other wise Mr. James and his : Article. The trial of the case against W. H. James for libel, in the Benton county circuit court will not take place in the November term. Mr James was indicted on the charge because of an article he is alleged to have written and circulated against G. W. Parker. The two are neighbors, residing on adjoin ing ranches half a dozen miles southwest of Philomath. Both have lived there for several years, and the accqunts are that neighbor ly relations between the two have notj always run smooth as the brooks by which they sported as boys. There js in fact, a story ex tent of a hostile meeting out on the hillside in their neighborhood in which there was gun play to the extent of the flourishing of a re volverwith a cold steel barrel, and a menpcing mien. The suit for the $5,ooo"damages against Mr. James on account of the article will also be tried at the November term, so that there wijl be lively times among the Jameses .about those days. - Mr. James formerly resided on Soap Creek. At the late term, after the in dictment " was brought- in, Mr. James was arraigned and put under $250 bonds for future appearance at court. He will plead at the ad journed term of court to be held June 9th. THE POOR HOUSE CASE. Will be Tried at November Term Something About the Affair. One of the last scenes irTthe late term of the circuit court was the arraigning of Mrs. Huggins and Andrew Campbell on a charge of "giving and disposing of opium without a licenseand without being a practicing physician.' What the evidence in the case is, of course,' is known only tottaegiand jury and the district attorney. It is under stood that the matter referred to the administering of the drug to Charles Tower. All sort of vague rumors went the rounds while the witness es were being examined by the grand jury. . Simmered down to the naked facts, however, it is un derstood that the medicine was giv en in the same way that it is often used under similar circumstances, and with no other than the best of intentions. Tower was suffering at the time with bowel trouble, and is declared to have already been in the throes of death when to re lieve him temporarily, opium was administered. This is the story as it is told by a friend of the family who is familiar with the manage ment of the poor house. The case will be tried at the Nov ember term of court. The defend ants were placed under $250 bonds for appearance.

There has been trouble with the Davis-Hy land -Lee sewer lateral. The dirt that covered it kept mys teriously cavingand disappearing. As fast as the hole would be filled upi, :tbe filling wou Id begin to melt away, and in a short time the. cav ern would be as big asver. The fumes from the opening became ex tremely odious to - the neighbor hood, and an investigation finally disclosed the fact that a joint of pipe connecting with an upright drain was defective, and that it was through this opening that the dirt escaped into the sewer and was then carried off by the water drain into the river. A new joint of pipe was put in, ana tneupngnt connec tion, which had been made without authority, was taken away and the drain closed up. There is an or dinance requiring all ; persons ing tapping sewers to first get au thority from the proper officials, and providing a heavy penalty for violation of the provisions.. This course is necessary in order to see that all connections are proper. By no other means can the sewers be protected and the sanitary condi tions be kept in the best shape.
