Corvallis Times Official County Pape. CORVALLIS, OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1907 JS f not Worth While? Contrast and. comparison is a mainspring of action. The. reason civilization began, and goes right along- unchecked is that old meth ods and old devices are thrown aside because new and better ones are evolved. A little 1,000 pound driving mare sold in Benton last week for $500. That was $100 a year to her . owner for each year that she had lived. She cost no more than a broncho and brought twenty times as much in the mar ket. Her notable value grew out of the fact that she is a thorough bred, with the staying powers and going powers usual to good blood. The feed of a cow that yields her owner $100 a year in butler fat costs no more than one that yields $10. If a high class horse or cow or hog or sheep or goat is not the only kind that farmers ought to fool with, then all the prices ate a lie, the markets are liars,, and the desire of largest returns for animals sold, a delusion and a snare. The purpose of next Friday and Saturday's stock show in Corvallis is to compare and contrast the best specimens, to difiuse knowledge, and by exhibits to awaken interest In producing the best and only the best. Isn't it worth the while of everybody in Benton to . patronize, push and accentuate this show? Is it not a noble and conspicuously useful enterprise? - , THE FIRST EXCURSION. Over the C. & E. to Newport Car ried 150 Passengers The ' Steamer. The first excursion of the season ran to Newport and return Sun day. It consisted of six coaches, and ran from the Front. It carried 150 passengers, all of whom enjoy ed the day. They were transferred from Yaquina to Newport on the Legett, the steam schooner lying in the harbor, and the return trip between the two peaces was made In the same way in the evening. The Legett is over 200 feet 'long, draws seventeen feet of water, is an oil burner, and an all round good boat. The excursion train left Corvallis at 8:05, and arrived on the return trip at 10:30 in the eve ning. MANY ATHLETES HERE. High School Track and Field Meet a Great Success. A dozen or fifteen husky young men standing in the center of the college armory, the galleries and floor lined with applauding specta tors, Prof. Fulton presenting the lads with gold and silver medals and other trophies of victory, was a closing incident in the big high school meet at the college Satur day. The meet was a success be yond the most ardent expectations of its promoters, the O. A. C. student association. It was an oc casion to reflect very great credit on all concerned. The meet was won by the Hill Military Academy team of Portland and the prize was a silver cup. The relay race was won by Portland Academy, and the prize was a sil ver cup. The gre?test number of points and a gold medal was won by Sam May of Hill Military, who took four first places and with them four additional gold medals. Next to him was Jay of Pendleton High who scored 19 points, and after him was Kellogg of Baker High with 18 points. Portland High and Pendleton High tied, for second place with 22 points each. Four teen schools took part in the meet, the athletes coming from Astoria to LaGrande and from Baker City to Roseburg. A similar meet is to.be held each year hereafter, and It is planned to make it a two ..day affair and include the colleges. Always Keeps Chamberlain's Cougt Remedy in His House. "Wo would not be without Chamberlain' Cough Remedy. It is kept on hand contin nally in our home," says W. W. Ke&me' editor of the Independent, Lowry City, Mi That is just what every family should d When kept at hand ready for instant use, cold may be checked at the outset and cun ' in much less time than after it has becot .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.

A very enjoyable musical event was the sacred concert given by Miss Edna Sheehy's chorus in the armory Sunday afternoon. Ab sence of two of the lady members of the chorus reduced the soprano and alto parts to six, which with nine male pupils of Miss Sheehy's department constituted the chorus. The program consisted entirely of sacred selections, the various num bers appearing in Friday's times. In point of precision . and general excellence of rendition, the vaiious numbers were as good if not better than has ever been heard from the students, and called forth universal commendation. .. The parts were so delicately balanced and the various shades of feeling so nicely brought out that the effect was most pleas ing. The remark was many times repeated that a further appearance of the chorus before the end of the year is greatly to be desired. It is said that several of those who appeared on the program were unable to sing a note when Miss Sheehy began with them a lew months ago. The fine progress made by MUs Edna Allen, Miss Marie. Pelland, and others was es pecially the subject cf general re maik. Both appeared with fine eifcct in solos, f,nd also in a duet. One of the leading voices of the so prano was Miss Lulu Spanler, who is always a favorite. There was a large audience and every 1 number was listened to with per fect attention-. . Miss Sheehy ap peared as conductress and to excel lent advantage, and Miss , Emma Sox as accompany ist. , Miss Sox, who is teacher of music in Albany college, is accounted by many as a result of her work on this occasion,' as one of the best accompanyists in the Valley. . Miss Sheehy . and the; college is to be congratulated on the success of her concert, .t ... : The members of the chorus are: soprano; Mrs. Edith Pernot, Mrs. Escelle McCausland, Mrs. C: Pin kerton.

By Hanging Jail- Hinuelf in the County -John Stahlbusch. John Stahlbusch, a well known German, hung himself in the Ben ton County jail last night. Dur ing the day he had been adjudged insane and was held in jail impend ing the arrival of the Asylum at tendants to take him to Salem. While alone in his cell, he first at tempted the deed with his hand kerchief, but when it broke with his weight, he tore a strip from his blanket, and tying it to the door frame above his head, succeeded in carrying out his design. The body was found at 5:30 by Sheriff Bur nett wno entered the jail to give Stahlbusch his breakfast. When found, the body was suspended by the strip of blanket, the feet resting squarely on the floor. The body was cold, and death had evidently come several hours before, probably before midnight. It was apparent that Stahlbusch, after fastening the strip of blanket around his neck had deliberately held his feet up until the deed was accomplished i ne body was allowed to remain undisturbed until the arrival of Herman Stahlbusch, a brother, re siding on Kiger Island, for' whom a messenger was at once dispatched by the sheriff. Stahlbusch was adjudged insane after an examinationby the oounty court. The action was based on belief that his mental condition is such that he ought not to be at large. At the hearing that occurr ed at tiie county court nouse at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, a num ber of witnesses' swore that they did not believe Stahlbusch safe to be at large. Others testified that they had heard him make threats In the evidence was a statement of his doings nearly a year ago, when he was disarmed, by Officer Wells in the sherifi's office because of his threats "to fix" retiring County 1 Judge Watters and other members of the court, whom he fancied had wronged him with reference to his taxes. He also stated at the time that he had brought along his gun to "start the new court off right," displaying his weapon as an evi dence of. his good intentions. There was also testimony to the effect that Stahlbusch had received injury in the head which was be lieved to have effected his mind. The physicians were Dr. Newth of Philomath, and Dr. Farra, of Corvallis. Judge McFadden, who is now district attorney, appeared for the state. Stahlbusch arrived from Port land Sunday, and was at once taken in custody by Sheriff Burnett for the insanity hearing. At Portland Stahlbusch had purchased an im mense thresher and portable saw mill, the engine for which is said to weigh 32 tons being too large to be allowed to cross Marys river bridge. The character of the -purchase was accepted as a sign of de ranged mental condition. , It is also strongly suspected that he was in some way connected with the death of a fine colt on the Hamlin place. which was , so badly maimed and cut as to produce death, the facts of which were related in Friday's times. . He was questioned about the colt in the examination as to sanity, he' invariably replied that "you have ; no evidence against me"in which of course, he was cor rect. His actions when the ques tioning was in progress tended to confirm the1 suspicions of those present that he knew something about the matter. In fact the in sanity examination was largely the result of the horse incident. While under , examination, Stahlbusch said he had "drea'rued" about the colt and of its being killed. He al so stated that his head had been huring him for several years partic ularly since he had been injured three years ago by a fall. It is al so a fact that he sustained a heavy blow on the head by a shot gun in the hands of M. W. Smith, several years ago. Warning to Bayers. To the times: . :- . ' - Corvallis, Oregon.
