(Vi THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY. MAY. JuT 1835. A SMART TJRAVELEE. HE CAUSED A SLEUTHHOUND VERY GREAT ASTONISHMENT. A Clever Traveling Man Who Was Goot Deal Smarter Than a Western Detec tive The Means He Took to Teach the Officer s Lesson in Carefulness. A famous western detective declare. that he never surprised a criminal more completely than he himself was snr: prised in a journey from Albany to New York. He was seated comfortably in a parloi car skimming over a newspaper, when a gentleman rose from the seat opposite, and touching him on the shoulder re marked in an offhand way. as if the bad been chatting together for hours: "Well, sir, of course you will do af you think best, but it's my opinion thai you are on a false scent." "How do yon mean?" asked the de tective, staring at the man with all hit eyes in a vain attempt to make out his identity. "Why. I mean that there is no use in . your trying to find out the motive which prompted this youug girl to throw herself into the river, because she was dead before she ever left the land.' 'What yonng girl? What river? Whc are yon talking about and who are you?" All this rather sharply, for the west erner was not a little piqued by being addressed thus familiarly by an entire stranger, who seemed and that was the puzzling part of it to be perfectly fa miliar with his private affairs. 'I trust, sir. that 1 am not annoying you." said the newcomer with the ut most courtesy. "I know what profes sional discretion calls for on 3-our part, but the extreme interest 1 take in the fate of this unfortunate girl prompted me. perhaps unwisely, to venture the suggestion yon seem to resent." Somewhat moluhed, but as much in the dark as ever as to the man's identity, the detective replied: "But, my dear sir. how can you pos sibly take any interest in my business when you do not know me?" "Ah, but there you are mistaken." said the other smiling. "1 do know you very well and sympathize deeply with you in the loss of your poor mother, who died about a month ago, if 1 am not mis taken." This was indeed the case and wonder ingly the detective listened as the gen tleman went on: "By the way, you must have had an exciting time in your recent trip abroad in pursuit of those St. Louis counterfeit ers. What a pity they gave you the slip at Mannheim. But for that you would have accomplished one of the greatest pieces of detective work of modern times. - Don't you think that German banker who was so friendly betrayed you to the rascals?" "1 haven't the slightest doubt he did," .exclaimed the man of wile, "but who in the name of heaven are you?" The stranger, still smiling, continued: "I suppose you have given up the idea of having that boy of yours follow in your footsteps? ' On the whole 1 think the law will be a better career for him. He has not your strength and endurance and" "Now, look here, my friend," inter rupted the bewildered detective. "Tot's call a halt on this funny business. I'll own up you have got the drop on me. Now. come, what is in the scheme? How do yon come to know, and above all bow, in the name of all that is mys terious, do you know things about me which no one" "Oh. I know more than that." was the exasperating reply. "I know all about the mean way you were turned down at the head office last summer. 1 know the man who did if and why he was jealous of you. 1 know how you proposed to get square with him in this very case by proving that he has accepted hush money from" "For God's sake, my dear sir, be care ful what you are saying. Some one in the car may be listening. Do yon speak French?" "That is precisely what 1 do speak." said the other, and suiting the action to the word he continued in that language, which he spoke with the purest Parisian accent. "Now listen and I will give you an explanation of the present enigma. Pos sibly you may find in it a lesson for the future. "Do you remember being down iu Pennsylvania about a fortiiigtit ago. riding rom Pittsburg to Oil City with a dark complexioned man about my height who wore a full black beard?" "Yes," answered the detective. "I do. That was an eastern detective who was wui&uiK au uio on a oanK rouuery. ' ITA , x c .1 h wn 10 uuo ui my uest inenus. "And you told him, did you not. all about this recent row you have had at headquarters, and discussed with him what was the best thing to do about it?" "Yes; but how did you know that? Did he tell your "Never mind how I know it. You also talked over with him the case you are now working upon and declared your intention of exposing the dishonor able conduct of your rival. Is not that true? And if so, don't you think that for a detective of your experience you showed a lack of caution in speaking of euch serious matters in a public car?" "Yes," answered the detective quick ly, "but I remember now that my friend and 1 spoke only French as a precaution. No one understands French out in west ern Pennsylvania." "And what if I told you that I was in the Beat behind you all the way to Oil City, apparently fast .asleep? What would you say to that?" The detective's jaw fell. "Do you mean to tell me that all yoa know about my life and my business you got from a chance conversation overheard on a railway?" "Precisely.". "And that you never knew me, or my friend, or any one who knew us?" "Never." "Well, stranger, you are' a smarter detective than 1 am and you've got a memory that's just ohain lightning. There just .ten minutes to wait here. Come along and' have a cigar." New York Herald. : 1 3 ' .HojafprlnUf the ,Uuk Oi.

Z?ir r ztj. - r " Highest of ali in Leavening Power.- mm ABSOLUTELY PURE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. First We reaffirm our devotion to the republican doctrine of protection for home industries against injurious foreign compe tition, and we recognize the McKinley bill as the ablest expression of that principle enacted in fulfillment of republican prom ises and as affording equal protection to the manufacturers, the mechanics, ami the woikingmen of America, from an nnju :ind degrading competition ; with the pau perized and poverty-stricken labor of Euro pean countries, and preserving Ainerionu m.irkets for the products of Americaa labor. Second We denounce the democratic doctrine of free trade in so-called "raw materials," while insisting upon a hiL'h pro- tecti ve tariff on goods manufactured there- from, as calculated to benefit entire! v the foreign, at the expense and to the grat in- jury of the American producer. We re- gard the reciprocity clause of the McKinley law as a wise and masterly stroke of re- onblican statesmanship, under the opera- tion of which protection guards the home market; while reciprocity reaches out to the foreign market. While protection estnb ishes, builds up. mid maintains American industries, reciprocity opens a new outlet for the surplus pr nine's of our f rins, work- shops and factories. Third We favor such legislation by congress and in this state as will eneounige, protect, and promote the interests of aim culture in all of its departments. Protec- tion of labor and rights of laborers such as will grant to toil its full and just rewards, is among the first obligations of government. Fourth We demand protection for the wool industry equal to that accorded to the most favored manufacturer of wool so that in due time American wool growers will supply all the wool of every kind required for consumption in the UnitedJJjStates, and we denounce the Springer free wool bill now pending in congress as unjust and un patriotic. Fifth Thoroughly balieving that gold and silver should form the basis of all circu lating medium, we endorse the amended coinage of the last republican congress by which the entire production of tha silver mines of the United States is added to the currency of the people. Sixth We commend the patriotic ser vices of our senators and) representative in congress, and approve their 'efforts and measures for the general benefit of the state, and we especially commend their in dustry in behalf of measures for the opening up and improvement of the Columbia river, and we deplore all factional opposition to these measures. Seventh that we are heartily in favor of the passage by congress of a bill providing for a boat rail way at the dalles of the Co lumbia river, which has beeu twice passed through the senate through the efforts of Senators Mitchell and Dolph; that we be lieve it to be the most practicable plan for relief of the producers and for the develop ment of that vast territory of country tributary to the great Columbia river, and we are in favor cf liberal appropriations for internal improvements, especially for all rivers and harbors. Eighth We demand the appropriation by congress of a sum sufficient to complete the work at the Cascade locks, and that the work of completing the same be let by con tract. Ninth That we are in favor of a fair and equal distribution of taxation, add believe that all property not exempt by law should contribute its due proportion in payment of the legitimate expenses of the government, arid to this end wejjare in favor of such amendment to our assessment laws as will .teeure the assessment and taxation of all property at its true cash value. Tenth We are "in favor of an early sur vey of the unsurveyed public lands of the state, in order that the same may be claimed and occupied and titles thereto speedily procured by bona fide settlers under the laws of the United States. Eleventh We favor the development of our state by the construction of railroads and other systems of transportation, and we hold all corporations to be strictly re sponsible to their liabilities under law, and we recognize the right of the legislature to exact all responsible limitation, on corpo rate power. Twelfth The producers and laborers of the country should uot le taxed to maintain convicts in idleness, "and the state should ie such employment to its criminals as will relieve the taxpayers without forcing free laborers from their vocations or reduc ing their wages by uunatural compel ition. Thirteenth We endorse the action of state railroad commission in its efforts to secure cheap transportation, and we con gratulate the shippers upon the success it has attained, and we recommend that the law be so changed as to provide for.the election of the commissioners by the people. Fourteenth The republican party, ever mindful of the service of the heroic men who served the Uuion, favors liberal pen sions to the sailors and soldiers of the re public and a" generous care of their widows and orphans. -,. Fifteenth We favor economy in the ad ministration of national and state affairs, the prompt and effect jve restraint of com bines or capitalists for purposes unlawful or at variance with sound public policy ; ample educational .facilities for the whole people by the maintenance inviolate of our public school system; reservation of public lands of United States for homesteads of Ameri can citizens, and restoration to the.pnblic domain of all .unearned railroad grants; and we contemplate with pride the progress of republican .legislation and administration in all of the directions named, - 17, 1SS9, Sixteenth While inviting to our shores the worthy poor and oppressed of other nations, we demand enactments of law that will protect our country and people against the influx of vicious and criminal classes of foreign nations, and the importation of laborers under contract to compete with our own citizens, and earnestly approve the friuid enforcement of the existing laws by the present administration. Seventeen ill We are opposed to the im ' migration of Chinese laborers to the United I State, anil ilem mil such exUtiiitf laws iS sh ill elfectually and forever exclude Chi- ' nese l.ibnrers from American soil. Eighteenth We are in favor of an amend- "nt to the constitution of the United , States providing for the election of United ! States senator by a direct vote of the people. Nineteenth Good roads being essen- ' tial to the welfare of all communities, and especially to the farming community, we avor such amendment to the exiting laws as will enable the several counties of the state to levy a tax uot to exceed live mills for road purK)ses. Twentieth We take pride in commend- ing the work of the last republican congress, which, in the face of democratic filibuster inu. passed the McKinley tariff law, re rbi.'iiij t,h -Hiirplin revenues many rr.illions of . lolliirs; increasing the free list by adding thereto many of the great necessaries of our daily life not produced here in - suffi cient quantities to supply the demand; and otherwise readjusted the tariff laws; passed the customs administration act; . pension laws; land grant forfeiture act, restoring many million acres of laud to the public domain; the postal subsidy act; the anti lottery act; the anti-trust law and many other great4 measures, in the interests of the general welfare of the American people. Twenty-first We congratulate the coun try upon the success and prosperity that have marked the administration of Presi dent Harrison. It has brought dignity, vigor aud statesmanship to the conduct of our foreign affairs, and will settle many grave international complications upon a basis which secures every American right, and has indicated to the nations of the earth that it is able to and will protect the rights of the United! States and of the people thereof in every quarter of the'globe. Twenty-second We favor the prompt construction of ample defenses for all the United States, the building of an efficient navy, and the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine. A WARNINO-DON'T USE BIG WORDS, In promulgating esoteric cogitations or articulating superficial sentimentalities and philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let ycur statements possess a clarified concise ness, compacted comprehensiveness, coale scent consistency and a concentrated cog ency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine af fectations. In trying to impress upon others the superiority of the Wisconsm Central Lines, and why yon and s6 many others use this thoroughfare from St. Paul aud Min neapolis and Duluth and Ashland to Mil waukee, Chicago and points east and south, it is not necessary to use jawbreakers. Let your extemporaneous descantings and un premeditated expatiations have intelligibil ity and veracious vivacity, without rhodo montade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, psittace ous vacuity, ventriloqual verbosity and van diloquent vapidity, shun double entendres, prurient jocosity and pestiferous profanity, ohscurent or apparent. In other words, talk plainly, naturally, sensibly, and truth fully say the Wisconsin Central Lines is TUB route, and that ends it. This office has been favored with a com plete catalogue and price list of the Ever green Nurseries, of Evergreen, Vis. This nursery is well known throughout the west, having been many years established. The proprietor, Mr. Geo. Pinney, has probably distributed more evergreens and forest trees through this state than any other man in the country. Although he raises and sells millions of forest trees annually, his spe cialty is evergreens. He plants hundreds of pounds of the seeds every year, and now has nearly three hundred varieties on his lists, fully equalling the largest nurseries in Europe, which supply the nurseries and parks of royaltj. Of course, having such a large trade and growing them in such large quantities, he is able to give better prices for the same quality of trees than any other nurseryman in the country. It is well worth the while of any person to send for his lists. NOTICE TO CREDITORS.
