Just Thought He'd Ask.
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.

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.

Board of Regents. The Board of Re
gents of the State Agricultural College met
in the parlors of Hamilton, Job & Co.'a
bank at 2 o'clock p. m., Tuesday, June
24th, and continued in session with closed

Oswego; John Eimnett, Umpqua Ferry;
A. R. Shipley, Oswego; W. P. Keady,
Portland; J. W. Grim, Aurora, and J. T.
Apperson, Oregon City. A large amount
of important business was transacted, and
some surprise has been manifested id the
result of the election of the faculty tor the
ensuing year, not so much by reason of
those who were chosen as by those who
were not retained. The faculty for 1890
and 1891 are: B. L. Arnold, A. M., presi
dent and professor of English language and
director of experiment station; H. T
French, professor of agriculture; J. D.
Letcher, C. E., professor of mathematics)
and engineering, and charge of military
department; F. Berchtold, A. M., professor
of modern languages, grammar, history aud
drawing; E. R. Lake, M. S., professor of
botany; , professor of
chemistry; W. W, Bristow, A. B., princi
pal preparatory department and professor
of book-keeping; F. L. Washburn, Ph. D.,
professor of Zoology aud Entomology; G.
A. Covell. M. S , professor of mechanics,
mechanical engineering aud mechanical
drawing; Margaret Snell, M. D., professor
of household economy and hygiene. The
matter pertaining to the erection of a
ladies' hall was postponed until after the
next meeting of the legislature, but it was)
ordered that sufficient house accommoda
tions should be rented to provide for all
lady students, who will be entirely re
moved from the present students' hall.
Dedicated. The new Masonic temple at
Albany was dedicated last Tuesday. The
city was decked in gala attire, all the busi
ness iiouses were closed and a general holi
day taken. About 1000 visitors from other
cities in the valley were present and 500
Masons formed the procession. The orator
of the day was John McCracken of Port
land. A banquet was given in the Armory
hall in the evening followed by a grand ball.
The whole affair was the largest demonstra
tion of the kind ever held in that city.
The Oregon Pacific Co. ran a special train
from this city to Albany for the benefit of
those desiring to attend the "ball in the
. . ....a... a
evening, leaving at 4 o clock in the af
ternoon with about 65 of our citizens on
board, and returning at 10, and 2:30
o clock.
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. Mr. Fisher has cleared
his grounds adjoining, and this week com
menced the erection of a fine two-story
brick building with a frontage on Main
street of 75 feet. 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,
