Corvallis Times ; CORVALLIS, OREGON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAR. , 1907 If Over-Speculative. Predictions by railroad magnates of hard times ahead are . familiar topics in the dispatches : of late. Whether or not they -.are false prophets, time alone can tell. Hard er times for railroads according to the Wall street test of business is a condition likely to come about. The frenzied method of inflation , and stock watering is undoubtedly to be arrested. Cases like that in which an Eastern railroad rebated to the amount of three millions and then prepared to issue bonds on the sum, will not occur in the fu ture. The country is getting an insight into high finance as pract iced by Wall street, and it is un questionably a fact that measures for prevention will become more and more stringent. As the railroad magnates prophe sy, there is real danger in that the proletariat may become too ag gressive and real harm come to the railtoad business, but it will be be cause of past wrongs practiced by the barons themselves. It may happen too, that the over-speculative tend ency of the present time, may be checked as a result of agitation, but that would the better prepare all for the financial reaction that, by the history oi the past will hap pen along, by and by. What's the Use. The vials of wrath that are being poured out on the late legislature eclipse all past records. The pro test is not wholly on the ground that the appropriations are nearly a .million more than at any former session, but because there was igno minious slaughter of measures that proposed to bring under taxation property that has long been escap ing- A tax commission bill proposed to raise the assessable valuation of railroads in the state from about $10,000,000 to $70,000,000, but after passing the house it was scuttled in the senate. Another bill that offered new means of rev enue was a tax on the timber lands of which vast tracts are owned by syndicates, but this too, after run ning the gauntlet.of the house, was Ostlenzed in the senate. Through the initiative, both will be sure to be enacted into law by the elector ate at the first state election, and that will suggest the. query, what is the use of a legislature, anyway ? The governor only had five days, the legislature, 40. In view of the small remnant now left, what might have happened if his session had lasted as long as the legisla ture's? After a little while, it will be as easy fora came! to enter the eye of a needle as for a Benton county man to break into the Oregon state senate. It was her pose as Beauty and the Beast that Jerome Pffered in court as evidence against Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. What the jtify &nd all the country is seeing, however, is the same picture with Evelyn as the one and Jerome as the other and it is not Jerome that is the beauty. Vot 40 days and 40 nights the legislators legislated, and they look ed at their work sand said, "Be hold, it is goo I;" and behold it wasn't long till a whole lot of it had got vaccinated There are doubtless members of the late legislature who are con vinced that the governor is affected with a "passing brain storm." FARMERS call at the seed store, have a friendly talk, and look over the different kinds of seed, red clover, alsike, alfalfa, vetch, speltz, beardless barley, rape, rye grasses, and artichokes. For sale or trade, one 6 year old horse. Wanted, 10 ton Vetch seed. L. L. Brooks. DEPUTIES FOR THEM Benton County Officials Recorder'! Salary Raised to $1,200 a Tear. After the present term, the record er of Benton county will . receive a salary of $1,200 per i year. The advance of salary was made by the late session, a bill having been in troduced by Senator Johnson. The same bill provides for a deputy each for the sheriff and clerk,' both to receive a salary of $600 per year. Provision is also made for the coun ty superintendent to have an allow ance for actual traveling expenses while visiting the county of not to exceed $150 per year, to be allowed by tne county court on properly presented) claims. - The salary of the assessor and county judge are left at their former figures of $800 and $720 per year respectively. The salary of the county treasurer is also unchanged at $500 per year. The salaries were reduced by the last legislature as follows: Sheriff from $2,000 to $1,600; clerk, $1800 to $1,440; recorder, $1,000 to $800; superintendent, $1,000 to $800; county judge, $900 to $72; assess or, $1,000 to $800.

Alfred Denny, residing five or six miles north of ; Corvellis on the Mountain View road,' committed suicide yesterday morning, "by hanging himself in the barn at his home. Denny was 49 years cf age, and came to Benton county ' from Iowa a year ago last September, settling on a farm purchased of Al fred Bicknell. He has a family consisting of a wife and three boy?, the latter of whom are aged res pectively 12, 8 and 6 years. The funeral took place this morning at 1 1 o'clock, and the interment was in Locke cemetery. The deed of self-destruction was consummated about five o'clock in the morning. At that hour Denny arose and left the house. Mrs. Denny arose shortly after ward, and as her husband did not appear, she became uneasy, and a search began. It was not yet half past five o clock, and the darkness made a search difficult. As her alarm increased, she telephoned the neighbors, and A. R. Locke and Spencer Bicknell were soon on the ground. After a short search, the limp body of the missing- farm er was found swinging by a rope from a hay track in the upper sjtory of the barn. Conditions showed exactly how he had consummated his plans. The little rope used to trip off the bunch of hay on the carrier, was the means used for making the work sure. He had climbed on a pile of hay, adjusted the rope and swung off ovej . the floor where there was no hay with in reach. The fall was not violent enough to break the neck , and the unfortunate man died by choking. The general supposition is that mental troubles figured in the act, Denny had been unwell for a month or two, and it is the statement of neighbors that he acted strangely at times. -This fact is whatcaused alarm to be felt by his fataihPso soon after his disappearance. ; It is also said that he brooded more or less over his financial affairs. When he purchased the Bicknell place,, he put a $3,000 mortgage on it, the sum being half the purchase price, He was also indebted a similar amount on a farm that he still owns in Iowa. The value of the two farms largely exceeded the aggre gate of the debt, but it is claimed that this with his sickness upset him more or less mentally and that his act of self destruction was the consequence. He left no note' or other , explana t i-ojn of his reason, or to indicate that he bad entertained any purpose beforeha,nd of taking his own life. i He was accounted a good citizen and an excellent neighbor. MAKES WEAK WOMEN STR0N(i AND SICK WOMEN WELL. - . - Forty years ago, Dr. Pierce searched Nature's laboratory for a remedy with which to supplant the Ignorant and jri-, clous methods of treatment, with alco holic stimulants, then In vogiie, and still too commonly prescribed ana advised for woman's peculiar ailments. Nature abounds with most efficient rem edies, and in Lady's Slipper root, Black Cohosh root. Unicorn root, Blue Cohosh root and Golden Seal root, Dr. Pierce found medicinal properties, which when extracted and preserved by the use of chemically pure glycerine, have proven most potent in making weak women strong and sick women welL It contains no alcohol; is not a "patent medicine, nor a secret one either. . . . ,. , ... "I was suffering with nervous headache, pains In the back and dizziness, so that at times I had to lie down for hours before I could raise my head." writes Mrs. Mary M. Thomas, of 337 Winston Street, Los Angeles. Cal. 'After taking- the first bottle of 'Fa vortU fYejortntton," however. I was so pleased wih the results that I kept on taking It until I was restored to health and" strength. I shall never Xe wtthoui this great medicine, and shall take a"5W wses ffben T do not feel strong.". . : One of lie principal uses of Dr. PiereS's Favorite Prescription is the preparation Ol"pregpective mothers for the time of trial and danger that comes when a child is born. The "Prescription" is strength ening and invigorating and lessens pain and danger. It insures the perfect well being and the perfect health of both mother and child. Every woman should know these things before she really needs to know them. There are many things in Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Ad viser, that every woman onght to-know.
