The ad vanced sale has been extraordinarily large and ensures a large and representa tive audience. Towns the size of Cor vallis seldom have the opportunity to hear such artists as Erne E. Hext, Wal ther, the noted violinist, and Holub, the Bohemian pianist. The splendid audi ence that will greet these people tonight will encourage other high-class attrac tions to come here. m To prevent the hardening of the sub cutaneous tissues of the scalp and the obliteration oj the hair follicles, which cause baldness, use Hall's Hair Renewer. OJiruiiiruiJiJirinnjinjLr Suggestions of Interest to The Gazette's New Subscribers. Some Special Features. Subscribers of the Philomath Journal will receive in place of that paper, which has suspended publication, the Gazbttb, commencing with this issue. The Journal publisher, Mr. T. G. Robinson, has made such an arrangement with us and we trust it will be entirely satisfactory to former Journal readers. Those not desiring to ratify this arrangement will kindly notify the Gazette Publishing Co. immediately. 4 The Gazette news service from Philomath and Monroe will be a special featnre hereafter and good correspondents from other points in the "cojiaty will supply this paper with items of interest' V The Gazette is a republican paper. It is allied with ho faction and is an independent critic. It has never courted official favor; ' and on several oc casions has been of service to the taxpayers of the county by frank statements concerning public matters. - The news f the week is given in each issue in readable form. Reliable weekly .market reports from San. Francisco and Portland take up one column. The fourth page is devoted to farm notes and miscellaneous articles! A specialty is made of local news. Pointed and graphic accounts of all the weekly happenings of interest are given. There is no attempt made to "pad out," nor does the paper aspire to be sensational. Facts only are pre sented facts that interest. At important feature, new to country journalism, will soon be announced. . " The Gazette editorials are generously, qnotedy the press of the state. The paper has opinions and states them plainly. Once every mouth a large supplement devoted to political matters will be issued. This supplement contains reliable information, and recent expressions of our foremost public men. In short, the Gazette is n up-to-date, reliable newspaper and a success. Our new subscribers will find much to entertain and interest them in its col- p umns. Although it is yet over a month until city election, there are are six candidates; in tke for fie Id police judge. One or tw others are awaiting developments. The corning election bids! fair to be a scramble rather than a struggle. Rev. T. Parsons. D. D., will hold the third quarterly conference in the Meth odist church - Saturday evening, April 3rd, at 6.36 o'clock: ' At the close of the business meeting he will preach. Dr. Parsons will also preach Sunday morn iue at 11 o'clock. Comminion at the close of the sermon. On Sunday even ine. at T.V o'clock. Prof. Dunn, of Willamette University will deliver an address on the subject, "Christ or Diana A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend these services. Keene, the famous tragedian, being asked, "What was the most critical audi ence you ever appeared before?" replied, "An audience in a little Oregon tqwn, Corvallis." Corvallis people do appreci ate merit on the stage. They do not pose as technical critics, but they can dis tinguish acting from ranting, pathos from bathos, music from noise. The large sale of tickets for tonight's concert evidences an artistic spirit, for the Hext company is universally acknowledged to rank among the leading concert combi nations. Dig down to the cause of your sick ness, if you want to get well and stay well. Most likely its indigestion. The irritat ing poisons of fermenting, putrid food, left in the stomach by indigestion, cause headache,: neuralgia, nervousness, head ache, nausea, irritability, -and all the other well-known symptoms of indiges tion. - They also cause niauy pains and disor ders which are often laid to other causes., and hence are not easily cured. But as soou as the poisons are removed, all these disorders and symptoms disappear, because there is nothing left to cause them. Nothing succeeds in this like! Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it pre vents the undigested food from ferment- 1 ing in the stomach and helps the stom ach to digest its food. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to $1 per bottle. PARLOR CONCERT. An enjoyable social and musical event of the week was the parlor concert given at the residence of R. E. Gibson, in this city, Wednesday evening. . . There were many present,- as the guests of Miss Edith Gibson, and they thoroughly en joyed the excellent program. Mr. Ruthyn Turney played three vio lin selections, one number being his own composition. Mr. Turney is a true mu sician and puts soul into his playing. He was heartily encored by the delight ed guests. One response, a melody of his own, was a perfect gem and was probably the most thoroughly appreciated number of the evening. Mr.' John Fulton sang "Answer," a beautiful tenor solo, in excellent style and made a good impression. Miss Helen Crawford recited "The Message" so charmingly that she was compelled to respond to a hearty encore. Miss Lulu Spangler sang a ballad in a captivating manner and won an encore. The accompanist for the evening was Miss Edith Gibson, who also rendered a well-executed piano solo. - Ai-Uie conclusion of the program, the guests engaged in social converse for an hour, when lunch was served. .The1 evening was one of the most en joyable social, events, of the season, and Mis Gibson is to be congratulated upon its success. When the blood is kept pure and the system-thoroughly invigorated by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, sudden changes of temperature and extremes of heat and cold, so characteristic of certain cli mates, are rarely attended with serious results. Take it now. TZACHSK3 AND DIRECTORS, TKNTION. AT- Section 20, of the school law, requires that all persons holding state diplomas, state certificates, state normal diplomas aud college state diplomas, before engag ing in teaching in any public school ef our state, shall present such diploma or certificate to the superintendent of the county in which the holder proposes to teach, to be registered by the superin tendent Therefore, the directors' atten tion is called to this requirement of the law. If the teacher who has been em ployed to teach the ensuing term of school in your district is a holder of such diploma or certificate, examine it, and if it has not been registered, require the same to be done immediately, as it is, without this, null and void.

A Valuable Experiment - If the growing of sugar beets in Oregon does ' not develop into a large an' proGtable industry witli in -the near future it will certainly not be the fault of Prof. Shaw, the station chemist. He is an enthu siast on the subject ot sugar beets, and - at present is engaged in the preparation of a bulletin devoted to this important industry. This bulletin will be the second onefipje voted to the culture of sugar beets that' has been issued from the tj Oregon Experiment Station ana',will contain much new and valuable information of a practical as well as scientific nature. , Professor Shaw has been in cor respondence with farmers through out' tlie state who are experiment ing with sugar beets, and one hun dred and fifty pounds ot seed have been distributed among them from the station, and a much larger quantity has also been distributed from other sources. Those receiv ing the seed will act under the di reotions of Prof. Shaw, and when the? beets are matured this fall, they will be sent to him for analy sis. He has prepared a pamphlet containing instructions relative to planting and cultivation, copies of which have been forwarded to all who are assisting with the experi ments. This year, the professor says, 300 persons will plant sugar beet seed in the vicinity of Medford, 100 at Forest Grove, 50 at Hillsboro, and 25 at Pendleton, besides an occas ional individual in other portions of the state. Especial care has baeft. taken to ascertain all details connected with the experiment, and; to that end printed blanks I :i OASTORIA. I Novelties in Lunch Goods. -ARE Guaranteed.

This blank is in each case to be returned to the station with a sample of the beets for analysis. Pnif. Shaw estimates that between 500 and 800 samples will be sent in for analvsis this fall.
