Kikg is spoken of as a . promi nent candidate for sheriff of Benton oounty on tne republican ticket Philadelphia erected more new .buildings than any othe city of the tTnited States in 1889. They number ,390i at a'cost of $25,000,000. A recent victim off tfie grippe, compares the sensation to that of a "misfit skull, that is too tight across the forehead and that pinches behind the ears." Two new drygoods stores are being opened in Coivallis this week and right with the tail end of winter. When spring arrives in full blast things will hum in this city. Europe is increasing its national indebtedness to the extent of about $500,000,000 a year, while the debt of the United States is decreasing at the rate of about $100,000,000 annu ally. s Max O'Kell believes that American professional people eat very small din ners, as he says this is the only country where "Gone to dinner; will be back in ten minute" can be found on the doors of offices. . It is hoped that during the coining season there will be a number of resi dences erected in Corvallia especially for the purpose of renting. " If there were twenty vacant houses here to-day they would all be taken to-morrow. According to the department of agriculture there are niore than 14, 000,000 horses "in this country, and nearly 16,000,000 cows. There was a large ir.creane in the number of domestic animals of all kinds last year. March came in in its usual style here-in-Oregon something after the Iamb order. In tiie New England and Southern sfaues it was ushered i&v with blizzards and windstorms; and still certain persons can't see what ad vantage this Webfoot country has over those of the far east. The government will redeem niutil. ated cuvreney as follows: If three fifths of the note are presented the face value wijl be given; if less than three fifths and more than two-fifths are presented half of the face value will be given. The face value will also be given on less than three-fifths of a note, en affidavits stating that all nabbing portions were destroyed, and giving the cause and manner of the loss. What the Southern Pacific is going to do this coming summer in the mat ter of building additional lines is a mystery to all. But all Corvallisites and westffcide people very much desire is the extension of that company's west line from Corvallia to the now main line. What reason they have for constructing the bridge across the Willamette river at Ray's landing cannot be understood, especially when only a few more dollars, above the tost of this bridge, would complete the afore-mentioned road. Let's fee patient, though. Probably the S. P. officials will decide yet to do this. MISTAKES Whatever may be the general be lief concerning mistakes made in news paper offices, it is a fact that, for every error made, a dozen, made by outsiders, are corrected, and if the matter of spelling was included in the estimate the proportion would be nearer 100 to one than 12 to one. A great many people who send paragraphs for publi cation seem to believe that the worse the manuscript looks the more it con forms to that to which the printers are accustomed. This may have been true years .ago, but to-day the professional newspaper writers furnish, in a large majority of cases, neat and legible "copy," and the average is much better than that sent "in from outside. The pains taken to correct evident or pos sible mistakes would cause surprise to anybody not acquainted with the workings of a printing office. Fre quently there is a date which must be incorrect, inasmuch as the day of the week and the day of the month do not conform. TEE NATIONAL WEALTH. The percentage plan of figuring the growth of-the national wealth is " de ceptive. As a nation grows in wealth and population the percentage of in crease : uniformly diminishes." Take, for example, the growth of a city in population. It has, we will say, a population of 10,000 to start, with.: At the end of ten years the growth of 5,000 is shown; ten years later 6,000 more have been added; and . at the close of the third decennial period a further increase of 7,000 is exhibited That would seem to be a very satis fato'ry growth. " But, according to the free trade percentage cranks, that towu has been los'ng ground the whole time. How sot Because the growth the first ten years was fifty percent., the second ten years forty per cent., and the third only 33 per cent. The gain during the third period was 2,000 more than dur ing the first, and the city has grown from 10,000 to 28,000 in the thirty years, an i yet according to the free j trade figures it must have been losing all the time. According to the per centage plan New York, Chicago, Cleveland, and all the great cities are losing ground, and yet everybody knows they are growing enormously. - The New York World has made a good deal of noise about comparative percentage of growth. ' Under its management it claimed an increase from 25,000 to 100,000 copies daily the first year or about 300 per cent. The next year it claimed a circulation of 150,000, an increase of 50 per cent., while its increase last year, the largest in any year, according to its own theory applied to itself, the World will have to suspend and go up the spout in about two years more. ' v It is the actual growth, not the per centage of growth, in which the people are interested. The actual growth in national wealth from 1850 to 1860, according to the census, was nine thousand million of dollars. ' The actual growth from 1870 to 1880 was thirteen thousand millions of dollars. Dividing the national wealth among all the peo ple equally at each of the four periods named and we find that the average wealth of each man, woman and child was $308 nv 1850, $514 in 1860, $780 in 1870, and $870 in 1880. These are the census figures, but the census of 1850 was notoriously incomplete, and the values of 1870 were swollen by monetary inflation about 20 per cent. Making due allowance for these facts, the average for each of the four periods, would, on a gold basis in each case, stand about as follows: 1850, $400; 1860, $514; 1870, $650; 1880, $870 an increase of 28 per cent per capita from 1850 to 1880. The wealth of the country is growing: faster than its population, and the wealth of each citizen increased more in the second period under tariff for revenue only, and what more could the fiee trade cranks desire? The future of the railroad system in the northwest can hardly be told. It is certain that it is yet in its infancy. What will come, time alone- can tell. During the next two years, Oregon and Washington will in all probability see such an extension of present, and con struction of new ones as were witness ed in Kansas a few years ago. There re so many projects on foot and so many towns clamoring for railroad connections that much must result. The mileage for these two states is very small considering their area and re sources, and comparing them with eastern states. The fact that we are lacking is not due to any failure to ap preciate our opportunities, but the con dition simply arises from ours being a new countiy. There are no states in the Union offering better, rewards for railroad investments. -Astorian. - AN EXPERIMENT. Patient Doctor, I don't believe that medicine is doing me any good. Doctor Yon hayen't tried it long enough to see the effect yet. "What effect ought it to have? ; - "Urn ah well -er, I haven't tried it long enough on you to know just yet."

Tilbury Fox,' St. i., the eminent medical wri ter, in hi work "Skin Diseases," tana account for the pimple so common oa the face and neck. Eating; too rich or too greasy food, or too hearty eating while the excretory organ are sluggish, causes in most people indigestion or a dyspepsia! condition, which cause the blood to more slug gishly, which in turn enfeebles the pores. The result is, that the exuding secretions block in the Tores, which inflame, each distinct inflamma tion being a pimple. Dr. Fox therefore does teot prescribe "blood purifiers" so called, but a dyspepsia cure" to be taken, to,use his owt wenlc "till the dytpeptial tymptomx have diiap ptantd.'l .The old i&ea was, that face eruptions were caused by a "humor iu the blood," for which they treated the blood, giring the mineral potash. Hence the reason why the older sarsa parillas contain potash.', : Joy's Vegetable Sarsa parilla follows the modern ideas of Dr. Fox, and aims with gentle vegetable alteratirea at the stomach and digestive organs. The reason is ap parent why it cures dyspepsia and indigestion, and the pimples and skin eruptions which result therefrom, and why sarsapariilas that use mix rals fail. - v WHY HE DIDN'T RIDE. Many years ago two gentlemen, both Justices of the Peace, were walking from Glasgow to Govan (at that time a beautiful country road) when they saw in the dis tance the Rev. Mr. Thorn, minister of the latter perish, coming toward them. Mr; Thorn was somewhat eccentric, and the two friends re solved to have a joke at his ex pense. When they came to the minister one of them accosted him thus: . ''Good morning, Mr. Thorn, how is it that you do not imitate the example of your Master, and en ter the city riding upon an ass?" "Because," was the ready reply, 'they have made them a Justice o' the Peace. One of the most prominent young poets in the country ; wrote thirtysjight poems last year, and received for them $306.25.
