EARTHQUAKE DID IT.
Increased Flow of a Spring
Near Monroe.
Since the great San Francisco
earthquake, the doings of a spring
in the vicinity near Monroe have
been a source of wonder and sur
prise to people of the neighbir
.hood. It is a sulphur spring, and
several years ago was discovered by
Frank Williams on whose farm it
is situated. The farm is six or sev
en miles south of Monroe. A long
.time ago a pipe was sunk to a depth
.of a few feet and allowed to project
several inches above the ground.
Around this, cement was placed, so
as to force all the water into the
pipe. The flow was only sufficient
ioT the water to rise gently to the
top of the pipe and flow lazily over
the fides. Williams had hoped that
the flow would be strong enough
for the water to come out with
something of a spurt, but in this
he was disappointed, until the
morning of the great earthquake.
That morning a much stronger
flow set in, and now the water flows
out with sufficient force to lift it six
or eight inches above the mouth of
"the pipe, forming a fountain, and
;aa incident of more than passing
interest. Many sight-seers who
lave heard of the incident, journey
there now to see the spring.

NEW DOG IN TOWN.
How he won the Respect of
. . Local Curs.
There is a new dog in town. He
came a few days ago. His owner
is unknown, if he has any. This
animal's characteristics indicatethat
he would not be owned or con
trolled by any person, clique or cor
psration. He seems to be in favor
of a square deal for every dog, and,
apparently has the power to exact
it, especially so far as he is himself
concerned. He evidently has not
signed Statement No. i, But this
item must not be extended into the
realm of politic?. The leading
thought is that when this dosr made
his appearance in Corvallis, he was
subjected to the usual onslaughts
of the local canines, which take so
much delight in chasing thestrange
dog within our gates. But this
new dog has successfully called all
the bluffs which have been offered
up to date, and invariably goes
them a few better. A good many
owners ot Corvallis dogs have been
compelled to go to the rescue of
their pets when the new dog se
cures them in a death hold. All
the town dogs have learned to res
pect the stranger and it is positively
refreshing to witness the demure
manner of curs when the boss of
the street carelessly wends his way
along the walk. Surely, a good
way to maintain peace is to be fully
prepared for war.

SCIENTISTS SAY.
"Look not Upon the Demure
Egyptian Mummy."
If bacteriologists do not soon
cease to make discoveries in their
realm of research it surely will re
quire the world's energy to fight
germs. It has been but a few years
since the unpretentious citizen
could go his way happily, but in
the present day he must go armed
and loaded down with all sorts of
complicated appliances with which
to defend himself and his possess
ions from the terrible microbe that
lurks in every path of his life, in
every morsel of food that he eats;
in every drop of liquid that he
drinks: in every object that he
views. One would naturally think
that hnmanity might gaze with
safety upon an .Egyptian mummy
which had lain for thousands of
years, but science now comes up
to warn us of danger in the exer
cise ot even this little pleasure. 1 A
Krench scientist named Sorgnac
says:
"The great spread of tuberculo
sis in America in the last 100 years
found its cause in the disinterment
ment aud shipment broadcast over
the land, of the mummies which
bad reposed so long in the tombs
otthe Pharaohs." The author of
of this theory is a recognized scient
ists, being a lecturer at, .the Sar
bonne in Paris, who was an inter
ested visitor at the recent tubercu
losis exhibit in . Chicago, tit is
claimed that the tuberculosis germs
emanating from the mummies are
more deadlythan those of the spu
tum of persons affected. "Dead
bodies : may not secrete germs,"
says the writer, "but dead bodies
are undoubtedly a favorite lodg
ing place for the tuberculosis
bacilli." ;

IMPORTANT TO CORVALLIS.
Profit by This and Find Safeguard
Against Many Ills.
Nothing is more important to Corrallie
thm the good health of her people. How
uii they nil their place in this busy
lo-vn unless they are well?
lo one trouble is responsible for more
1. 1 vous ills, sleeplessness, general debil
i v. weakness, bark-aches, rheumatic
pHius, even ill-temper and peevishness,
tti an indigestion.
Fortunately a combination of reme
dies, called Mi-o-na stomach tablets, has
been discovered that absolutely cares in
digestion and restores to health and
strength the whole digestive system. The
use of Mi-o-na is a safeguard against ma
ny illb ; it acts directly upon the gastric
glands, restores perfect action to the di
gestive organs, aids the assimilation of
food, and so strengthens the whole di
gestive system that you can eat anything
at any time without fear of indigestion.
Just one little tablet out of a 56 cent
box of Mi-o-na bfore meals for a few
days, and you will soon regain perfect
health and strength, and be able to eat
anything digestible without fear of stom
ach difficulties.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in curing all
forma of stomach weakness and troubles
that Graham & Wells give a signed guar
antee thai the remedy will cost nothing
unless it cures. Mi-o-na sells for 50 cents
and is invaluable to any one who suffers
with indigestion, nervousness or week
