The irritability of the nervous hypochondriac is ridiculed as natural in temper, xne very genuine and distres ing symptoms from which he suffers aie made light of. "'He" or "she is a crank!". is tne cneerlul sort of sympathy with which the nervous invalid meets from the unfeel ing and tne thoughtless. At the same time no complaint is more defined and real, none has a more easily explainable origin when it is cronic.

Pursuant to the programme' arranged fof the Benton County teachers' institute on Wednesday evening of this week the first meeting was held." By the time the Marine band had finished its -last instrumental selection outside, the circuit court room of the court room was tilled to overflowing, so much so that one hundred people had to stand during the entile evening. - Promptly at 8 o'clock Sn.pt. .W. E. Yates called the institute to order and introduced C. Elton Blanchard, principal of the Cor vallis public schools, who delivered th address of welcome. Prof. Blanchard said that the two principal reasons which "gave him pleasure m performing taK duty were e irst, Corvalha as a town would not give a heartier welcome, or receive within its limits with more true pleasure any class of workers in the land than teachers: that it had long been evident that Corvallis as a town and Benton county as a county have fostered and cherished education as the one prime end to be reached! that education was for the masses. Education is universal and in securing it nearly all the other prob lems which trouble the age would be solved. ine second reason why he took pleasure in exteuding this welcome was iu the explana tion that no class of people take more in terest in their labor or have more desire to progress thin' do teachers as a body, and it is necessary that the whole world should realize the importance of the education of the youth. So, first knowing that Corvallis was glad to welcome the teachers, and second that the teachers were elad to be welcomed, he Was equally pleased to take the task of performing the formality. Ihe address of welcome was followed by an excellent selection by the Marine baud, Ex-Couuty Superintendent J. J. Bryan, of Philomath, was introduced and responded to the address of welcome. : Prof. Bryan stated sixteen years ago a small number o teachers met in Corvallis and organized the first teachers' institute in Beuton county. He noticed some of those teachers present on this occasion. He did not mean to say mat any oi tne young ladies present now were teaching sixteen years ago, but he re lerred to some of the older gentlemen, proimuent among whom was Dr. fflcElroy, the indefatigable school worker of Oregon, Prof. Bryan Said he was . proud to know that we had in attendance at this institute public school teachers of Oregon. Upon the work and energies of the mass of public school teachers depended the perpetuities of the government. Though he knew that many - teachers looked np to a sky that seemed to them one great blackboard upon which they were doomed to solve out the. problem of a mere- existence, he believed through these institutes the standard of education was to be raised higher and the re ward of the teacher made greater than it ia now. Mr. John Spangler then favored the ia stitute with a cornet solo which was well rendered and well received. Little Emery Bridssou, of Toledo, de claimed with much- force and feeling i selection eutitled "The Stuff that Men ar Made of." ' After a selection: by the orchestra Presi dent W. S. Gilbert delivered a very able ad-lreas oil the subject "Something or N.. thing; Whichf He said ,aa average man was a poor man ; an average physician was a poor physician ; an average lawyer, a poor lawyer ; an average preacher, a poor preieltsr ; an average teacher a poor teacher; that men needed character, pur' pose and knowledge. Man noeds iu char acter, the best character) in purpose, the best purpose! ia knowledge, the best' knowledge. The teacher should implant in ins pupil character as true as nis own purposes as true as his own; knowledge as true as his own. The most important thing in life is to do something. The address was full of good thoughts. After a selection by the band Dr.- McE.' roy, superintendent of publie instruction of Oregon, was introduced , amidst applause Tho superintendent stated he was pleaoed 'o meet the teachers of Corvallis and Ben. ton county again, aud in saying the school work of Benton county was it) as good or der as any county in the state, be knew he was telling the people of Corvallis nothing which they did not already know. By re quest of the te-tehers- in attendance at the institute the superintendent gave his in terpretation of the law relative to many subjects in which teachers, school offioers, and parents were directly interested. Dr. McElroy's address was full of plain, prac tical, instructive idea and advice in relation to the public school interests of Oregon and was in every way an address eh&tacteristie of the mau. The institute adjoilrned to 9 a. in. Thursday- ; . . . ' ; , THOESDAY MORNING. State Superintendent McElroy opened the , session ; with an address in which he gave 'the teachers some good ideas as to how to make institute work successful, V He gave a history of the institute work- and made - the : statement that 1 node of the teachers complained of haviukto' attend the restitutes except poor ones. Another fact also waa noted, namely, that the ladies did not, as-a rule, ' take part in the institute workv but he thought they should, as they were : competent to do so. The work of normal -" institutes was highly spoken- of and the method of conducting them ex plained..' Som&good thoughts were here given relative to institute work.- He spoke also of the world's fair "and stated that only three states of the union were not officially represented Texis, Arizona and Oregon and that the lack of aaoh lepre sentatkra would be detrimental to Oregon's interests to- the ex-tent of at lea-it ?5,000, 000 - Prof. Tomlinson, of the Wells' pttbf school; presented a pitpci1 on "How JfJ Secure Order in the School,1 which' -Stf handled In a cleat" and intelligent ntannef which showed that he thoroughly coder stood the subject tinder consideration, am , worthy the consideration of all teachers; ' ' Supt. Yates opened a general dUctlssion) in which he was followed by J. 3. Bryan, A large number took part ia this discussion; vriiiuu was very interesting. " A. L. McFadden handled the Sdbjeefl "United States History," in' ah able man ner, making use of blackboard illustration's in bringing out his points", nsinrf the expo; nential system of outline drawing. Prof Gray, of Newport, . followed, showing how" history eonld be iriade interesting by map drawing, virtually making pictures of. thrf subjoct ia hand. .". - BILLS ALLOWED; tAab ot the proceedings of tile county ' conrt of the state of Oregon for Benton county; not provided for by statute: , J W Oliver, snpr dist No 88. .... . . .$40 OQ H S Lewis, janitor.-. . . : 35 0J Wm Graham, med attendance paupers' 22 5flf Robt Johnson, stationery for sheriff . 46 50 Wm Mackay, board prisoners.....-..'

The following, taken from "The OiL Paint and Drug Reporter," refers to a nef bill just iutroduced in the legislature ot New York state ." "The latest development in the baking powder war, is the introduction of a bill in the legislature of ' this state requiring all packages of baking powder which contain ammonia, to be branded with a statement of the fact iu large type oil the label, - JNow while tne ammonia contention ia on, why cannot the law cive the Dublin the) benefit of the doubt ? Wholly nnpreju diced people are certainly not willinir to be) dosed with the substance acknowledged aa a poison, simply because scientists, some of! . whom aro not even physiologists, disagree; as to its potency." A similar bill was introduced last April but it ia shrewdly surmised that the inflrif ence of interested parties prevented its pas' sage, I lie provisions of the bill are so just that it will probably soon become a) law, This will be good news to the mauu- factnrersof pure Cream of Tartar baiting.' powders, the most prominent of whom ut the Price's Buking Powder Company of Chicago and St. Louis, makers of Dr, Price's Cream Baking Powder, Who navel always made a strictly pure Creattt ot Tar tar powder, notwithstanding the tempta tions of adulteration suggested by the enormous profits realized . by a large' New York Concern Which uses ammonia,- and ad vertises its powder as strictly pure, by means of garbled " official reports and cer' , tificates signed by its own employes,- dub bed professor, doctor or government client ist, as fancy may dictate. A bill- compelling alunf powders' f o be conspicuously labeled as such,- already ex ists in Minnesota and it is to be hoped in) the interest of tho consumer that similar laws will soon be enacted in other states' -for ammonia as weff '.& alum..
