few friends went out to Wren on a hand
car to fish. An old gentlemrn, living
near Philomath, a strict church member,
was milking his cow as they passed and
he thought they were the Japanese sec
tion hands going to work. As the "sec
tion men work only on week days, the
passing of the hand car caused Ihe good
old man to forget that it was Sunday.
Taking the milk to the house, he went to
the field to plow. He plowed UHtil noon
and, returniug, traded horses with a
stranger passing along the road. Going
into thehouse, he was horrified to learn
that he had been desecrating the Sab

say the old gentleman's mistake was

The supreme court has affirmed the
judgment of Judge Fullerton, so that
Oren has to pay the costs. This, action
started in Jnstice Davis' court four
years ago, Jacobs suing Oren for $15,
claiming that Oren had rented a house
for a month, although Oren had only oc
cupied it five days. Oren claimed he
owed only $2.50 and tendered Jacobs that
amount aud, in the justice trial, depos
ited the money with the court Jacobs
got a verdict for $2.50. The case was ap
pealed, but the money tendered was not
sent up, so that the tender was not com
plete. The jury in the circuit conrt al
lowed Jacobs nothing. This verdict the
judge set aside. On a new trial, Jacobs
was given a verdict for $2.50. Since then
the fight has been over the costs, which
have run into hundreds of dollars. ' .
DEATH OF WILL KERB.
His
Life Ended by an Explo
sion of Dynamite. -
Saturday afternoon William Kerr
stooped to pick up half a stick of dyna
mite, thinking the fuse had burned out,
when it exploded, killing him instantly.
The accident occurred near the farm of
C. "M. Starr, on Woods creek.
Will Kerr, Geo. Webber and Frank
Kennedy walked out to Caleb Davis'
ranch Thursday to fish, taking with them
a stick of dynamite. Saturday morning
Kerr and Webber visited Walter Kisor
aud remained at his house for dinner.
After dinner they started home - and, on
their way, Kerr proposed to explode the
half a stick, of dynamite he carried in
his pocket. He adjusted the cap, lighted
the fuse and laid the stick on the ground.
Then the boys ran hastily away and
awaited the explosion. After several
uiiimU'S, the smoke from the fuse ceased
and Kerr remarked that the fuse had
gone out. He started for the stick'
Webber advised him to wait, but Kerr
remarked that there was no danger and,
going p to the spot, started to pickup
the dynamite, when it exploded, lifting
bini off his feet, taking off the back part
his skull and killing him instantly.
The body was brought to Corvallis last-
-
jury was summoned. It relumed a ver
dict of death by accidental explosion.

An Oregon Hypnotist
' Willard Smith, who-graduated from
the O. A. C. in 1895, is becoming promi
nent on account of his experimeuts in
hypuotisni. He is a student at the Uni
versity of Surgery and Medicine, Cleve
land, Ohio, aud evidently is studying
hypnotiim as a side line.
In the Cleveland Plain Dealer, of Sun
day, March 21, there js'an illustrated de
scription of some experiments conducted
by Mr. Smith and a fellow student, that
takes up a whole page. There were
mauy startling evidences of the control
the operators had over their subjects.
"One of the most marvelous experiments
of all," said the Plain Dealer, "was what
is called by the operators the drug ex
periment. This consists of holding near
the patient's neck, a vial containing a
drug, the nature of which is unknown
both to the operator and to the subject.
The subject will undergo all the symp
toms of the poison contained in the vial
as though he had swallowed the poison."
This experiment was conducted iu a man
ner that convinced all doubters, i "Mr:
Smith," adds the paper, "has beeu
studying hypnotispi ; for the -past Ifive,'
years, and believes. that its field for good
is large. He is a firm believer in its effi
cacy in mental and nervous diseases."
While attending the O. A. C, Mr.
Smith was an ardent student of mental
philosophy and electricity. In fact he
was familiarly known as "Electricity"
Smith. He is engaged to a Corvallis, j
3'ouug lady.
"For five weeks I lived on cold water,
so to speak," writes a man who suffered
terribly -from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on his
stomach. What stayed wasn't properly
digested aud gave him terrible pangs.
This is not an uncommon case. Dys-
peptics don't get euough nourishment
They are generally thin and weak
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest euough. Much of what they eat
turus into poison, If this keeps on,
there's no telling what disease they may
get next.
That's why it is best to take Shaker
Digestive Cordial as soon as symptoms of
indigastion appear.
It cures all the evils of indigestion
and prevents evils which indigestiox
causes. .

Young: Deer Hunter.
: The Monroe correspondent tells the
story of a little girl's capture of a young
deer: Sunday the nth inst was a day
of incidents in the Belknap family.' In
the morning Miss Stella became a mem
ber of the M. E. church, and in the
afternoon, while her father was convey
ing Rev. Ford to Junction, she was at
home and enjoying herself in a manner
which very, very few girls of her age
have ever indulged in, perhaps. Her age
is only 7 or 8 and, while playing in the
the yard, she noticed a small deer come
into the garden, and after feeding a short
time, lie down. Immediately she went
after her father's hounds, and when they
began to chase the little creature it made,
an effort to jump through a plank fence,
but in place of succeeding, it became
hopelessly wedged in between two planks.
Miss Stella ran and caught it by the foot,
calling to her grandmother to come aud
help her. The grandmother (Aunt Me
hala) came, held the deer while the little
hunter secured a rope, and when Mr.
Belknap returned they had the stranger
tied to the fence
