The Times ib in receipt of a
note from W. W. January,' justice
of tbe peace of Big K1j preuuet. in
which he denies that he wa active
in an attempt to balk tbe tLrt3 of
the game wardens to procure evi
dence relative to the killing of an
elk in hia preginct, as stated by
this paper; Tee Times made the
statement on what it deemed relia
ble authority, but Mr. .January , is
entitled to a denial if he wishes to
make it, and he does so as follows:
"It (the' statemeot)- was either a
mistake or else a wilful misrepre
sentation, aa the justice of the peace
here did not have anything what
ever to do with any such attempt,
which fact can be established if
tiejeaeary.
The streets of Corvallis were
iu total darknesaTueaday and Wed
nesday nights, and all those de
pending upon electric lighting were
inoonveaienced to a considerable
extent because of damage to the
line which conducts the electric
current from Albany. The current
was not shut off until about dark,
and there immediately followed a
lively scramble for cand'e and un
nsed lamps. Many citizens who
are in the habit of being about town
after supper went home early, be
ing unable to find any pleasure oa
the gloomy etieats, in the dimly
lighted resorts or lodge rooms. Cor
vallis streets have never been lighted
'as well aa those of towns of equal pre-
tensions. Tbia city never ecj ytd
! street lightiog by coal oil aa otner
! towns did. Although Corvallis bad
b?en a preteotious city for many
years, it was not until 1889 that
any pretense of street-lighting waa
mide, when a contract waa made
w to L. L. Hard to supply tei 2-5-
ic-indle power elsctric etrtet lamps

town was ever able to grt along
without street lamps.

Some Odd Wills.
One of the oddest documents of the
will kind known was that of Queen
Austrigilda, consort of King Goutram
of Burgundy. The dying princess en
Joined upon her husband to slay and
bury in the same grave with her the
physicians who had attended her. An
other will was that of a husband who
forbade his wife's marrying on pain of
his returning to haunt , her. This is
quite different from that of a woman
who instructed her executors to seek
out "some nice, good, pretty girl" who
would make an affectionate second
wife to her spouse. It is a fact inter
esting in this connection that the first
Napoleon actually bequeathed" 10,000
francs to a fellow named Cantillon,
who had been tried for attempting the
assassination of the Duke of Welling
ton. A Problem In Life.
They had met in the subway and in
the interval of passing a few stations
had fallen to talking of a lovely wo
man friend who had died.
"How did she die? Do you know?"
he asked.
"She nursed a little niece through an
infectious disease, then took it herself
and died of it," said she.
"A strange Providence!" he mused
sadly. "She, lovely, gracious, charm
ing, everything to live for and a bless
ing to her friends, to die in order that
a child might live. A strange and un
accountable Providence!" New York
Press.
Good and Osgood. ,
The subject of ancestors is often an
Interesting topic of conversation. A
lady extremely proud of her mother's
family created a sensation and made
her listeners wonder a little when she
remarked: "My father filled many re
sponsible positions. We all have the
greatest respect for him. My father
was a good man, but" and a certain
stiffening of the shoulders and an
added expression of firmness In the
good lady's face added importance to
her conclusion "my mother . was an
Osgood!"
Man to Blame.
: Women are more prone to deceit than
men. From the time when Schehera
zade told her lord 1,001 lies to keep the
peace it has been the accepted way.
And the men, not the women, are the
most to blame. It is what they like,;
and they get it. Good Words. v..
