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.

That is just what every family should d
When kept at hand ready for instant use,

the croupy cough appears, which can only be

Popular Sacred Concert at the Armory
by Miss . Sheehy's Chorus.
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

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
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.
