Daly left on the steamer Tues- j day morning for Portland, where he has ' accepted a position in the business office of an afternoon daily, soon "to be started in the metropolis by the Metropolitan Printing Company.

The venture is said to have plenty of backing and its promoters feel certain of success. ' It is said that already 2,000 subscriptions have been paid in advance, and sufficient ad vertising has been guaranteed to insure the enterprise agaiust financial collapse. It is understood that the paper will op pose Simonism, although politically it will be republican. For the present at least it will be a six column quarto de voted almost entirely to local news and local interests. 113 DOLLARS AND UPWARDS FOR SUITS TO ORDER AT OECIL, THE TAILOR'S. . ' The absorbing topic of conversation on the street corners among the sporting fraternity, is the proposed trotting match announced to take place at the race track south of town, next Saturday afternoon. The race will ; be- between Jess Brown's black stallion and John Kiger's bay mare, and a deal of interest is being tak en in the affair. It is said that with proper management the Kiger mare can trot a mile in 2:50. .The other horse, however, has never made a record for himself, although his backers claim he1 can do a mile in something less than three minutes. List Thursday the Maccabee fraternity, celebrated their fifteenth anniversary with a grand picnic at the court honse grounds in this city. Early in the morn ing visitors from adjacent towns began to arrive, and by 9:30, when the exer cises began, fullly 503 strangers were on hand to take part in the festivities. Alex Rennie was president of the day, and in troduced the speakers who took part in the program, which included an address of welcome by Joseph Wilson and speeches by W. T. Rigdon, of Salem, and Mr. Lamberson, of Lebanon, upon the benefits of the order. During the after noon, bicycle races and other athletic sports interested the crowd and a hop at opera house in the evening concluded the day's exercises. Oregon Eclipse, the famous racehorse, died at Irvinarton Park, Sunday after- noou, of inflammation ot the lungs, l nis well-known horse was foaled on the Gird place south of Corvallis, about nine years ago,' his dam being Lulu Riggs, owned by James Foster. He was sired by Joe Hooker. At the age of three years he won his first race at McMinnville. Later, he was taken to San Francisco and sold for (6,000, and soon gained a national reputation. His races were mostly from ! one-half mile to a mile, and for a long ; time he held the world's record of 1:13 jfor three-quarters of . a mile. Eclipse possessed wonderful powers of endurance and his career was marked by one un broken line of triumphs, having won during the six years he was on the turf over 100 races, and made for his owner over $ 100,000. G. W. Householder has a runaway team which he drove to church last Sunday at ! Bellfountain. contrary to the advice of his wife." Going over, he was accom panied by Mrs. Householder and his brother-in-law, Alex Pickens. But when the time arrived for returning home, J Mrs. Householder, fearing that the team ! might run away, declined to ride in the vehicle with her husband, and laughing at her fears, Mr. Householder and his brother-in-law started without her. But thev had only gone a short distance when the team took fright and ran away. completely demolishing the vehicle and severely injuring the occupants. Doubt less in the future Mr. Househblder will have a great deal of respect for the ad t vice and opinions of his better half, es ' pecially regarding fractious horses. j Members of the O. A. C Athletic As- ' sociation vho entered M. A. A. contests at Portland last Saturday, returned horn Sunday night covered with glory aud gold medals. The b.pys from here enter ed in seven events and took four first prizes. The Oregonian says, concerning the entries from the O. A. C association: "There were several other surprises be- . sides Kerrigan's wonderful high jump (six feet) and pole vault. One was D. C. Ray, of the Oregon Agricultural College, beating A. L. Fuller by a foot in the final of the 100-yard dash, in one of the pret tiest races ever run on Multnomah field. It speaks volumns for the handicapping in this race that the finish could have been covered with a blanket. The 220 yard dash also went to the Oregon Agri cultural College, Frank Crawford appar ently not needing his 16 yards to win. The Oregon Agricultural College like wise took first place in the mile run, which was a gift to B. F. Burnett" Bur nett won this race in 4:48, and finished fresh, opening up a gap of 50 yards be tween himself and Brazee of the Multno lna's, in the last lap "and the 56-pound weight, D. H. Bodine's handicap of four feet being too much for Flanagan." Flanagan holds the northwest record. For some unaccountable reason the ham mer which Bodine took from Corvallis to use in the 16-pound throw, was disquali fied. The hammer is exactly the same as that used by Edgren, "who holds the world's record. Being compelled to use a strange hammer, Bodine fell fifteen feet short of his record. " No mystery about it. "When the Shakers offered some time ago to give away a bottle of their Digestive Cordial to any one who might call at their New York office, there was a great rush and a great many people thought they were crazy. Subsequent events prove it to have been a very clever advertising transaction, for. although they gave away thousands of bottles, it was in tho end - profitable; nearly everyone that took a free bottle came back for more and paid for it with pleasure, saying that they had derived belter results from its use than from any other medicine they had ever used. There is nothing so uniformly successful in the treatment of stomach troubles as tho Shaker Digtive Cordial, and what is bet ter than all, it relieves at once. Laxoi., the new form of Castor Oil is so palatable that children lick the spoon clean- Bowling for ladles. The bowling; alley will be open to the ladies every Wednesday afternoon, to which you are invited to be - present. We will do what we can to make it pleas ant for our patrons. Respectfully, H. H.

The flouring mill agitation in the south end of the county has by no means been fruitless. Last fall when Messrs. Laws and Kreibel began talking about building a flour ing mill they wore undecided for a time as to whether they would establish it at Monroe or at Maudville, a few miles this side. The location of the plant aroused considerable local interest, and the people of the neigh borhood discussed the relative merits of the two proposed locations until a deal of rivalry was created. Finally it was decided to erect the mill at Maudville, and work on the new structure began some weeks ago. " This action, so it is said, aroused the ire of some of the enterprising Monroeites who were unwilling that Maudville should enjoy any advantages over their own town, so negotia tions were at once entered into by Mr. Wil li e! in and others for the building of a mill at Monroe, They finally succeeded in purchas ing tho plant of the Philomath flouring mills, and lqst Thursday twelve Monroe teams hauled the machinery to its destina tion where it is to be placed in operation in time to eare for this reason's wheat crop. It is understood that residents of Philo math are not pleased with the turn affairs have takon. When tho property was pur chased from Mr. Feleer by Mr. Kleppen tho citizens of Philomath contributed con siderable labor and money in getting the mill and dam repaired, with the tacit under standing, at least, that the plant should be kept in operation at that place. However, the concern under its new management has met with numerous backsets by damage from high water, besides financinl troubles, and has not proved a source of profit to its promoters. It is understood that the prop erty was heavily encumbered, and also that liens aggregating over $1000 had been filed gainst it. . What arrangements have been made for the settlement of these claims is not generally known, although it is said Mr. Wilhelm's trip to Portland this week was in that connection. HORTICULTURISTS HBBT. The Oregon State Horticultural Society began its midsummer meeting at the court house Tuesday afternoon, and concluded its labors with an interesting progranfat the opera house Inst evening.

The sub-committee of the re solution committee has placed in the hands of a typewriter the platform which will pjobably, 1 with some minor changes, be adopted tomorrow by tha conven tion. It scathingly denounces democratic administration of af fairs which has resulted in disas ter at home and dishonor abroad. It emphasizes the adhesion of the party to the principle of protec tion and denounces the present democratic tariff as sectional, partizan and one-sided; disatrous to the treasury and destructive of business enterprises.
