TRICKY ADVERTISING.
It is just as well for colleges to
fe honest in their advertising.
People seldom expect circuses to
come up to the promises of their
show bills, but educational insti
tutions are supposed to be imbued
with a higher moral sense, and it
is not expected that they will
resort to deception and tricks in
order to increase their attendance.
The State University at Eugene
advertises free tuition to all stu
dents. In almost all its posters
this is the only reference to the
cost, but in some of the newspa
per advertisements it is stated
toward the bottom, that "the
fltniversity charges an incidental
fee of ten dollars, which is paya
ble in advance by all students."
If such a fee is charged the tui
tion is not free, and the school
has no right to advertise that it
is. The university should tell
the professor of diplomacy to
take a vacation from his duties
as ad. -writer and turn that chair
over to the professor of moral
culture.
When the regents of the Agri
cultural College advertise free
tuition they mean it. The stu
dent of the O. A. C. has to pay
no tuition whatever, whether
called tuition, incidental lee, or
any other name; and not only is
the tuition free, but the students
in the agricultural and mechani
cal departments can, if they will,
earn almost, if not quite,
enough money, by working on
the farm or iu the shop, to pay
their expenses through school
Attention is again called to the
fact that last year several young
men walked from Coos Bay to
Corvallis to attend school, arriv
ing here almost penniless. They
stayed throughout the year, and
by hard work and careful man
agement of their earnings, they
aid all their collegiate expen
ses. Their labors evidently did
not interfere with their studies,
for these boys were the nrst in
their classes and one of them was
elected president of the freshman
class.
A tuition fee of ten or fifteen
dollars ter annum oi course is
considered but a nominal fee by
a ereat manv students whose
parents can and do pay all expen
ses. but it means considerable to
those who must make their own
wav through college. It is the
latter class p-enerallv that make
the most of their opportunities,
and it is that class, if any, that
should be shown favors. Hence
the abolishment of tuition fees
was not only generous, but wisely
generous.
The Lincoln County Leader
takes the acquittal of M. M. Da
vis very much to heart. It seems
that Mr. Davis, who was cashier
of the Yaquina branch of Hamil
ton, Job & Co., transferred all
the funds at Yaquina to 'the par
ent institution upon its failure,
acting under the direction of the
court. For so doing he was
indicted bv the errand iury of
Lincoln county and the court
directed the trial jury to bring in
a verdict of "not guilty." The
Leader says, "This may be law
but it is not. iustice." That
paper is mistaken. It is justice,
and it was justice to compel the
creditors of the Lincoln county
bank to bear their proportion of
the loss caused by the failure of
the parent institution. They
were doing business with Hamil
ton, Job, & Co. not with M. M
Davis. It was the supposed
standing of the Corvallis house
that gave credit to its Yaquina
branch. Had the latter's assets
been less in proportion to the lia
bilities than those of the Corval
lis bank, instead of greater, the
Lincoln county creditors would
have loudly demanded that they
be recognized as co-creditors of
the general institution, as they
were. H. J. & Co. did not main
tain two separate banks. Their
bank was at Corvallis, and the
Yaquina institution was a part
and parcel of it. A creditor of
one was a creditor of the other.
In any event not a particle of
blame could attach to Mr. Davis.
He simply acted as the court,
directed. If the Leader voices
the sentiment of the Lincoln
county people it will be impossi
ble for Mr. Davis to receive any-
, thing like justice in that county
in any future matters that might ,
arise as a result of the batik j
failure. i
EVILS OF -SENSATIONAL. JOUR
NALISM. :
The San Francisco newspapers
not only reflect the peculiar and
deplorable moral condition of the
California people, but they feed
and foster the morbid appetites
of their readers. The San Fran
cisco Examiner is the leading
type of those papers that consid
er it enterprising to spread before j
the people highly colored .and j
sensational details of every revolt- j
ing crime that its reporters can j
scent out. The man of good i
sense and sound morals does not ,
care to wade through a column of j
sensationalisms in order to get a
few lines of fact. Nothing tends
to foster isms and general rest
lessness among the people more
than the attitude of such papers.
The people of Oregon are more
solid in every mental attribute
than those ot California. The
newspapers of the two states not
only show this to be true, but are
to a great extent responsible lor
the state of affairs.
The leading paper of Oregon
is the Oregonian. In fact it is
the paper of the state. It con
tains daily all the important news
of the world in a plain, readable
shape. The paper has always
taken a high stand on public
questions. It is often on tne
unpopular side, for the masses
are not always alert as to what
are reallv their best interests.
Indeed, the attitude of the Ore
gonian has often been officiously
lofty, destroying much of its
power for good. Its position has
not always been right, nor just.
It is often unjustly cruel in its
treatment of men and measures,
but the general tone of the paper,
although sometimes its standard
is set on impossible heights, has
a beneficial effect upon the peo
ple's moral sentiment and ideas
of political economy. It is a
critic, not a flatterer. It treats
its readers as an honest, just mer
chant treats his customers. The
attitude of such papers as the
Examiner toward the public is
similar to that which character
izes the professional gambler in
his dealings with his patrons.
The press of San Francisco
attempt to hoist every petty crim
inal into great notoriety a noto
riety that they covet and are
willing to die to obtain. They
foster criminality and create crim
inals. They have studied the
art of keeping alive public inter
est in crimes, and the Durrant
murder case shows the perfection
to which they have attained in
this respect. It was indeed an
unusual, peculiar, mysterious and
awful affair, but had such a crime
been committed in Portland, ex
citement would have died out in
a few days. People would cer
tainly have felt a passive interest
in the progress of the trial and
in the efforts of the police to
solve the mystery, but that would
be all.
There is small hope for news
paper reform in California. The
appetite of the people for sensa
tionalism has been so built up
that the successful gratification
of it is a paying business. They
want the "dime novel" style of
a newspaper and of course they
will be able to get it. It is eas
ier to corrupt people than to
reform them.
A PRACTICAL INSTITUTION.
The Oregon Agricultural Col
lege is thoroughly a practical
institution. It aims to give its
students a practical education
an education for use. It does not
neglect the sesthetical nor the
mental sciences, but everything
that is taught is intended to have
a direct bearing on the actual
condition of life. The merits of
the institution are not yet fully
known throughout the state.
That this is so is manifested in
the surprise shown by visitors at
the scope, equipment and thor
oughness of the school. The
various departments are presided
over by more than twenty profes
sors, all thorough masters of the
different branches, and efficient
educators. The buildings and
apparatus are all of modern style
and first-class in every particular.
Corvallis is a good, moral town.
Her citizens are such as one
would naturally expect to find in
a college town and are alive to
the fact that the best interests of
the college are identical with the
interests of the city. The Agri
cultural College is not a reform
school, but it is the constant
endeavor of the faculty and citi
zens of Corvallis to remove any
undue temptations to students
from abroad. The college can
be commended to those parents
Vno wish to give their boys and
girls a practical, useful education.

A FATA. I, ACCIDENT.
An accident attended with fatal results
occurred last Thursday afternoon on the
Thurston farm, near Wells. Charles Suber,
who lust his Ufa, was driving a bundle wsg- ;
ou with a threshing crew. When near
tnB '
machine, with a load of Erain, one of the
wheels of the won which he was driving
struck a stunm with such fnr . tn tfirnv i
him headlong off the load onto the double
trees. This frightened the horses and, as
they started to run away, Suber dropped to
the ground, one of the front wheels of the
heavily laden wngoli passing over his
legs, and one of the hind wheels over his
b.-.dy. The injuries sustained by the nu-
fortunate man were of an internal nature j
and though a physician was summoned from
Buena Vista immediately after the accident,
he only lived about twelve hours.
The deceased was about thirty-eight years
of age, a native of Germany, and unmar
ried. Previous to last November, he had
Ween in the employ of Geo. W. Smith for
a period of six years, and was regarded as
faithful, honest and industrious. The re
mains were interred in the cemetery at
Buena Tista Thursday afternoon.
Small Beginnings
Make groat endings sometimes. Ailments
that we are apt to consider trivial often grow,
through neglect, into atrocious maladies,
dangerous in themselves and productive of
others. It is disregard of the earlier indica
tions of ill health which leads to the estab
lishment of all sorts of maladies on a chronic
basis. Moreover, there are certain disorders
incident to the season, such as malaria and
rheumatism, against which it is always desir
able to fortify the system after exposure to
the conditions which produce them. Cold,
damp and miasma are surely counteracted
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, After you
have incurred risk from these influences, a
wineglassful or two of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters directly afterward should be swal
lowed. For malaria, dyspepsia, liver com
plaint, kidney and bladder trouble, nervous
ness and debility it is the most deservedly
popular of remedies and preventives. A
wineglassful before meals promotes appetite

A SUNDAY MORNING FIRE.
Sunday morning firta are abominable. A
blaze at any time ii bad enough, but ten
time worse is it when your regular Sunday
morning suooee is interfered with by the
clanging of the bell, which eervrs notice
that you must up and drtss !nd proceed in
stanter to the scene of the conflagration or
pay the penalty. This penalty t members
of the department is fifty cent for each
offense and it a .rves splendidly as a medium
for bringing out a fall attendance whenewr
an alarm is turned in, no matter what day
or hour.
Perhaps this- was not the cause for
bringing out so many of the boys last Sun
day morning, btt devotion to duty alone
will hardly causo the average citizen to fore
go his Sunday morning's nap, so it is be
lieved that the fear of the penalty was a
potent force in getting the fire laddies out
last Sunday.
The alarm was turned in a ftw minutes
after seven o'clock and the blaze proved to
be at the old planing mill on First street.
This is the second time this structure has
been on fire during the past month and each
time it has been saved from serious damage
by the prompt arrival and efficient service
of the department. The blaze is thought
to have been ot incendiary origin, from the
fact that there had been no fire abont the
prrmists after the mill was shut down the
vening previous.
Mr. Sheasgreeu, one of
the proprietors, Eaya that before leaving the
running Saturday menc, ne mho era-
'""y around the boiler and engine room tor
evidences of tire and is certain tnat mere
were none. The fire started in the north
east corner of the building, only a few feet
distant from the boiler, and ran up the sid
ing to the roof, but the damage was only
slight. However, the supports of a large
beam which held the boiler in place, wag
burned away, allowing it to drop slightly
of position. The repairing of this took
some time, but the mill is now running as
usual.
IN JAII, ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Last winter a young man, hailing from
Southern Oregon, was expelled from the
Agricultural College. At the time it was
not generally known for what cause he was
requested to leave, but it was understood
that his offense was a grave one. Since
leaving college his whereabouts have been
unknown to his former friends in this city,
but it was the general impression that he
had drifted into the southern portion of the
state. His name was Garland Stemler.
The following item taken from last
Thursday's Examiner, dated at Yreka,
California, probably refers to the same
young mm and shows that his career of
crime did not end upon leaving Corvallis,
btit that ha had developed into one of
the worst of criminals:
"The two prisoners in the county jail,
Louis Marnio, a Spaniard, aiad Garland
Stemler, an American, charged with the at
tempted robbery and murder at Bailey Hill,
Monday night, refuse to make any state
ment, except to assert their innocence. '
"Stemler, who was arrested in Pokcgama
this morning and brought here, was imme
diately taken to the county hospital,
where he was fully identified as one of the
robbers by one of the victims, who lies seri
ously, but not necessarily fatally, wonnded,
having been shot twice in the head and once
iu the neck. Oa his way to the jail, the
officers questioned Stemler as to how he got
blood on hin coat. He claimed it was from
pf squirrel he had killed.
"Manrnio was also identilied by Miller.
Maurnio had a wounded hand, which he
claims was caused by an oyster can, but the
doctors this morning pronounced it a pistol
wound. Maurnio has written ts the Span
ish consul. He claims he has wealthy rela
tives. He claims he has wealthy relatives.
He has engaged Lawyer Farraher as his at
torney, and, as the evidence against him is
circumstantial, he will make a hard fight.
"George Sears, the other victim, still lies
at the point of death at Bailey Hill, with no
hope of his recovery. He has survived two
serious shooting scrapes. The officers are
confident they have the right man."
DEATH OF MRS. A. LEUBLUNO.
Tuesday morning, at the family residence
in Linn county, adjoining the farm of Jos
eph Yates, after a lingering and painful ill
ness, Mrs A. Leuelling died of internal
cancer of the breast. The deceased has
been a resident of Oregon but two years
and was a comparative stranger outside of
the immediate neighborhood in which she
lived. But with those with whom she was
associated, she was regarded as a person of
more than ordinary refinement. She dis
played those noble characteristics which go
to make up the life of a loving mother and
devoted wife. Prior to coming to Oregon,
her husband practiced law in Kcnsas. Ha
is the only brother of Ex-Governor Leuel
ling, of that state, aud at one time figured
quite prominently in politics there. He
cm to Oregon and settled, iu hopes of
benefiting the health of his family by the
change. Ia response to a telegram, Mrs.
Etta Frank, their only married daughter,
arrived from Kansas only a few hours pre
vious to her mother s death. The deceased
leaves a husband and three children, one
son and two daughters, who, with a large
circle of friends, will monrn her demise.

ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucuous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The

A BUTTER FRAUD.
Editor of Gazette:
The following words are from a circular
that is being circulated over the state, and
I think best to call attention to it as being
one of the many frauds that are beiug per
petrated in these dsys. I also desire to cau
tion your rerders against being led into the
purchase of the stuff, which is doubtless
nothing more aor less thaa the now well
known "black pepsin," whieh analysis
proves to be 84 parts common salt, 14 parts
of anato and two parts of rennet and or
ganic matter. Two ounces ef the mate
rial is sold for $2.50 and is really worth
about 3 oenta. There are several other
mixtures of a similar nature and for a sim
ilar purpose being foisted on the people.
The words referred to are: To whom it
may concern: I am able to demonstrate to
any person that one pound of creamery but
ter can be increased from twenty-five to
fifty per oeut., both in weight and volume,
by the additioa of sweet milk. One pound
of butter is capable af taking up one half
pound of milk. This is done without low
ering the grade. No trace ot foreign mat
ter is left in the butter thus treated." The
family right for the use of this method is
offered for the small sum of $5.
Persons who are so "penny wise, pound
foolish" as to purchase any of the ao called
rights should bear in mind that by its use
they become fit subjects for dealing with
the state food commissioner, by rendering
themselves liable to prosecution. Besides,
such practice is bound to aot as a boomerang
and destroy what reputation for good butter
making the users of the artiele may have
previously had. Farmers should aot be
deeeived into baying the mixtures, for the
material (we cannot call it butter) made
with its aid boob spoils and ia nnGt for
trade. The claim that the yield of butter ia
increased is simply false. The so-called in
crease is brought about by incorporating
with the batter fat the casein, milk sugar,
and other constituents f the milk, and the
decomposition of the aierogenous matter
sooa renders the entire mess raaeid. Onr
attention has bean called te samples ef this
material, and ne doubt the parties using it
will cease after being aeqaainted with the
facta. G. W. Shaw,

It is a well known fact that there are thousands of men in all parts of the United States

ranging from a few thousand dollars for the man who invests a hundred or two hundred

It is also a fact that those who make the largest profits from comparatively small invest
