""' "," The republican state campaign opened at Corvallis Tuesday night, with an unusually large demonstra. tion. -It" was one of ' the" "largest political meetings that has been held in Corvallis in several .years; Many of the state candidates of the republican party were present, and several of them made addresses. The chief speaker of course, was Dr. Withycombe, for the launching of whose campaign the meeting was especially planned. The presiding officer was Mr. Westgate, . the ac complished editor of the Albany Herald, and state chairman of the party; Decorations of very fine artistic mould, with Cecil Cathey as the artist, was a feature of more than passing : importance. The numerical feature of the attendance was not less conspicuous,' all the extra chairs provided being filled, with standing room still at a pre mium. Many ladies " and college boys and girls were in the audience College yells, called for by .the chairman, added interest to the proceedings. The firing of anvils and music by the OAC cadet regi mental band heralded tbe meeting, Io tbe great race between tbe float ing drydock "Dewey," tbe Panama canal, tbe railroad-rate bill and the Greene-Gaynor trial, tbe Daweyat present eeems to have the pole.

The clerk looked at the baby face and then at the girl in wonder. The infant was dead. , Rosy' is the daughter of Joseph Goldbery, a shoemaker, who came from Russia three months ago. The girl has been tbe only nurse to two younger children. Yorke, the baby was taken with measles and whoop ing cough, and neighbors at length prevailed upon the family to have it taken to the hospital. With the tew English words at her command Rosa inquired the way to the coun ty institution. It lequirad consid erable explanation to pursuade tbe girl that tbe baby was past medical aid and coald not be received. Then she quietly lifted " ub body and started for the door, tending to return with it to father's house. -The- hospital thorities with difficulty ' convinced her this would not dd, and that tbe body must be taken to the county morgue. Weeping, she carried the child to the morgue, ' on the south part of the group of build lege. the au- Tamboff, Russia, May 17.

Discovered by George Hodees. a Timber Cruiser Women Sub - eist on Shell Fish Tells of Their Delusion Other News. - Portland, May 16. The Oreeoni- an says that five women and a tiny little baby, emaciated, worn out and ' haggard,; and , with hardly enough clothing to cover themselves were discovered last .Saturday on the beach in the vicinity of Heceta Head by George Hodges, a timber cruiser, of Salado, this state,, who was forcing his was through ' the rough country to inspect some tim ber. ' The women had subsisted on crabB and mussels for days ' and were in a pitiful plight. Mr. Hodg es supplied them with some sea bis cuits and condenBed milk and had to make bis way to the nearest set tlement without a bit of food. The womeh told Hodges that they had been sent out in tbe wilderness by "Second Messiah" Creffield, and while they had heard that he bad been killed in Seattle, they said they knew that such was not' the case,' for know one . but the Lord could have the power to take his life. - "Mr. Hodges arrived in Portland yesterdayj aad he believes some thing should be done to rescue the fanatic women whesa minds have been turned by the hypnotic influ ence of the man who a few days ago was shot down like a dog by young Mitchell, whose sisters Creffield had succeeded in bringing into disgrace. . These women will starve to death or expire from exposure,' said Mr. Hodges. "I found them in a most inaccessible spot on tbe beach, and they had nothing to eat but a few mussels gathered on the beach. They had two tents, and bad prepared as best they could to await the return of Creffield, who, they said, bad gone to Queen Char lott s douna to select a place tor a colony on one of the many islands there. "Creffield is the Second Mes siah," they told me, and they would rather starve to death than disobey bis instructions. He had told them to rerrain where they were until his return, and they retueed every offer that I made to see them back to civilization. Four of the women hail from Corvallis, for I have seen them ' there, but I cannot recall their names, , although I think Fr . nk Hurt's wife is one of them. "I was cruising timber in the vi cinity when the women came and asked me to help raise their tents, which had been torn down by tbe the strong winds that sweepinfrom the ocean. They told me they had lived in the isolated spot for three weeks. "Creffield certainly 'knsw where he was going when he took those women icto the wildernes?, for a more 8f eluded place could not be selected. ' It is four miles by the roughest trail imaginable from the nearest settlement, and about I4 miles from Waldport, the nearest town. The people of Waldport re fused to assist the unfortunate wo men, and I can see no other fate for them than starvation unless they are rescued before many days." Mr. Hodges expects to return to Waldport in a couple of .days. by the Federal statute in each cae . is imprisonment not to exceed ldf years and a fine'of not more than . $1,000, or both fine and imprison ment. In asking tbat the case be set for final disposition, United StateaDia trict Attorney Bristol said that the motion for a new trial involved nothing more than law points, which could be settled at any time. and be desired the case disposed of as soon as possible. lhe case has been pending ever since the famous 21-count , verdict was returned nearly two years ago. and by many has been forgotten. It was eclipsed by the colossal lamf fraud trials succeeding it, and was not called to : ths attention of the court until District Attorney Bris tol took action this morning. Tbe vacancy on the Federal bench waB in large part responsible for the de lay. The case was tried before the late Judge Bellinger; District - Attorney Bristol this morning addressed a letter to Geo. C. Brownell, attorney forMeldrum, apprising mm of thegfact that-' the fate of hia client is to be determined June 8. r ' Hillsboro, Or.. May 16: The re volver taken from the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank of Forest Grove, when that institution -. was robbed in December la' t, was found Tiurled beside the railroad track' near this place yesterday by A'. P Luther, a farmer, who was plowing on ibe right of way. , Buried with the revolver belong ing to the bank were found dy Ca nute caps, skeleton keys, a number of candles and 56 shells. The lat ter were of the same size and de scription as those used in the gun taken from the home of Carey Sny der at the time ot the bank robbery. Mr. Luther bad been working yesterday on tbe strip of land bord ering the lin9 of the railroad, and toward evening his plow 6truck in to the cached explosives and other ' articles. He reported his discovery to Sheiiff Connell, who, upon in vestigation, found tbat the revolver was the property of the Forest Grove banking house and had been missing since the time ef the rob bery. The theory was advanced at the time of tbe crime and pursuit that the robbers bad taken a : northerly course, and had gone into the sUte of Washington. . Finding of the buried Implements and explosives indicates that the bandits took a route along the railroad in the di rection of Hillsboro, which shows that their course was almost direct ly east. This ' would indicate tbat they ' either came to Portland or, reaching the main line of the Southern Pacific, went Sauth, hop ing to reach California. The story of the alleged kidnap ping of Carey Soyder in Portland on Decemter 1, 1905, the night of the bank robbery at Forest Grove, is recalled by discovery of the hid den weapon and ammunition. He was said to have been eplritt-d away by two companions, who drove out of the city. The Forest.

Judge Wol verton this morning set Friday, June 8, as the day which Meldrum will come before the court for sentence.

W. Kearney, editor of the Independent, Lowry City, Mo. That is just what every family should do. When kept at hand ready for instant use, a cold may be checked at the outset and cured in much less time than after it has become settled in the system. , This remedy is also without a peer for croup in children, and will prevent the attack when given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, which can only be done when the remedy is kept at hand.
