Senator Vance of North Carolina lost his hat the other day. says the N. Y. Tribune's Washington correspond ent. He came out of the senate cloak room bare-headed, with his overcoat on his arm, and paraded the corridors, asking every one he met if he had seen a tall hat straying about anywhere. He was asking the question of Capt. May, the doorkeeper at the lobby door, when the page came up with the miss ing article in his hand. Senator Vance was just saying: 'Of course 1 don't think yon have seen it. you know, but I was 'just ask ing,' like the man who came into my office once when I was governor of North Carolina, He was a trampish looking man, and his clothing was worn and seedy. He looked carefully around the room and then said: 'Governor, you an't seen nothin' of a pair of boots around here, have youP I left 'em in in that corner last night, and they an't there this morning.' "I answered that I had not seen the boots. "I knew some d d thief had stolen them,1 said the unknown. Of course I knowed it wasn't you, but I just thought I'd ask."' The Lance. The experiments which have been made with a view to the revival of the lance in the French army are. not re- garded as satisfactory, and it has been ! decided, therefore, that the project hall be abandoned altogether. A ST. LOUIS PHYSICIAN. He Tests a California Production. His Report. A St Louis gentleman whose affliction was lick headaches was so surprised at the cure effected by Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla, that he called it to the attention of a relative, who hap pened to be none other than Dr. F. A. Barrett, the well-known St. Louis physician of 2652 Shen andoah Street. The doctor saw at once that it differed from the potash preparations in that it was purely vegetable, and becoming interested in it, began a series of investigations, and in a Subsequent letter candidly admitted its curative properties, and says: Wishing to test its virtues further, I used it in my own family, and prescribed it for patients who required a general system regulator. As a result, I can say it is au almost absolute cure for constipation, biliousness, dyspepsia, indiges tion, aud sick headaches. These troubles usu ally come from a disturbed condition of the stomach and bowels, aud Joy's Vegetable Sarsa- Sarilla is the best laxative and stomach regula r I have ever seen, and as a general system corrective is almost perfection Itself. ISigned F. A. BARRETT, M. D., 2602 Shenandoah St., St. Louis. The Fourth ok July. Next Friday is the. Fourth of July, the 114th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Inde pendence. Corvallis will not celebrate this year. Our citizens will help to swell the crowds who will make the American eagle scream at other places. Some wil go to Toledo and others to Portland, but a ma jority go to Salem and to the front on the Oregon Pacific excursion. Those who de sire to spend a quiet aud pleasant day in the mountains, along that beautiful stream, the Santiam river, aud rest from cares of business, will avail themselves of this ex cellent opportunity to do so. The Oregon Pacific company have placed tickets at $2 for the round trip, aud provided room for 400 people. No doubt many well-filled luuch baskets with their possessors will be found in some shady nook in the bearc of the Cascade mountains at noon next Friday The Salem people have made every prepara tion to have the grandest celebration ever given in the Willamette Valley. Hund reds of people will be there, seven brass bands have been engaged for the occasion. The streets will be decorated with floral arches, etc. The program will consist of hose races, steamer contests, bicycle races, a baseball game, fireworks in the evening and many other attractions. Corvallis will be well represented at the celebration. A HAUNTED HOUSE. This body of ours has been likened unto a tenement. It often has a haunted apart ment the stomach. Scared by the eldrich sprite, dyspepsia, digestion flies and refuses to return. What can break the spell, What can raise the ban laid upon the unhappy organ? We answer unhesitatingly, Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters, and we are warranted in the response by the recorded testimony of myriads, covering a peiiod of over a third of a century. A course of the Bitters begun at any stage of the affliction, and persistent ly followed, will terminate in cures positive, not partial. The Bitters restores tone to the epigastric nerve, renews and purifies the juices exuding from the cellular tissue that act upon the food digestively, expels bile from the stomach and the blood, and pro motes a regular habit of body. Malaria, kidney complaint, nervousness, rheumatism and neuralgia, give way to this medicine. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. Land Office at Oregon City, Or.,.

West Side Railroad Extension. The extension of the West Side road is a matter in which onr citizens are great ly interested. Col. Crocker, one of the S. P. officials, in a recent interview said that) the Corvallis-Junctioh extension would be built this summer. The ties and rails are on hand and the right of Way, etc., wag being secured. That the large amount of work in the Cow creek canyon was what delayed the extension, but they hoped to soon be able to push this through. He said the McMinnville express would run through to Corvallis just as soon as the travel would justify. Settled. The trouble concerning the disputed grounds between K. W. Fisher and Philip Pbile has been satisfactorily settled according to the new survey made and Mr. Phile's building in which the postoffice is located is being moved south) about eight inches.

When completed it will be one of the finest buildings on Main street. More of such buildings are needed in Corvallis and could be readily rented,
