This nettled the voting son of old Ger many and he chased up the two delin quents, locating them at another restau rant. As they came out, he collared them, and a vigorous debate ensued, iu which the adopted sou of Uncle Sam worsted both his half-brothers. They paid fur the dainties they didn't devour and Bismarck went back to work, his af- J fronted dignity restored to its normal condition. Rev. G. M. Irwin, state superinten dent of public instruction, was secured last week to preach in the Presbyterian church yesterday forenoon, also havin an arrangement to conduct the Masonic Easter service in the" evening. At ior45 o'clock it may have been 10:46 Rev, Irwin walked leisurely into the Congre gational church with that ease and dig nity for which he is noted, carefully placed his sleek-looking stovepipe and cane on the front seat and took' his seat in the pulpit chair, where he admiringly surveyed the lovely Easter flowers and passed judgment upon the arriving con gregation. At 10:55 o'clock or there abouts, Rev. Poling, pastor ot the church, entered the front door with his head full of his morning sermon and was astonished to see his pulpit occupied by so distinguished a gentleman. He appreciated the situation and, after a few whispered words, accompanied the rev erend gentleman to the door, who started iu the right direction, feeling somewhat humiliated over his mistake.

One thing that makes it so dingcrous is that it is so little understood. If it were better understood, it wotil d be more feared, niort easily cured, -less 'universal than it-is now. So those who wish 'to be cured, take Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it goes to the root of the trouble, as no other Medicine does. The pure, harmless, curative herbs and plants, of which it is composed, are what render it so certain and, at the same time, so gentle a cure. It helps and strengthens the stomach, purifies aud tones up the system. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to $1 per bottle.

THE COLLEGE FAKM. Department of Agriculture of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege . Of all the departments at the Oregon Agricultural College, that , of agriculture itself is of the most direct interest to those engaged in farming. The head of this department of the college work is Prof. H. T. French, who is also the sta tion agriculturist, and directs all the ex periments connected with this depart ment. ... 1 The college farm contains 145 acres, and is well equipped with barns, stock, machinery, etc. A portion of the farm is divided into small experiment plats, upon which are planted various varieties of grains, grasses and vegetables that are to be' tested. The next year those varie ties that seem to promise good results, arc tested further ou the larger fields of the farm. Iu this manner there have been tested 80 varieties of wheat, 25 to 30 of oats, 10 of barley, 400 varieties of po tatoes and also a large variety, of roots. Of the 400 varieties of potatoes 100 have been found to be well adapted to this soil aud climate and are being grown this year. Each year sample packages of seed froui the various promising varieties of grains, grasses aud vegetables are distri buted among' the - farmers 'of the state. Those receiving the seeds are requested to try them aud report results to the sta tion. In many instances years elapse before reports reach the department which makes it impossible to estimate the benefits that are constantly accruing to the state indirectly through the depart ment of agriculture. To illustrate the force of this statement Prof. Freuch says that three years ago this spring he sent a pound of potatoes to a farmer iu Mariou county for trial.- The sample was of the Rubicund variety and promised excellent results. Nothing was heard at the station relative to the experience of the Marion county farmer and it was supposed that the potatoes had proved a failure. Last week, however, Professor . French was agreeably surprised at receiving a letter from the genUetnan, stating that the po tatoes were a great success. From the single pound of seed received three years ago, he had grown, last year, 300 bushels of fine marketable potatoes for which he had received an advauce of 10 cents per bushel over the price received by his neighbors. This, of course, is only one of the many similar iustances showing the bene ficial results that are accruing to the farmers of Oregon through the work car ried on at the experiment station. From the different varieties of wheat that have been tested under the direction of Prof. Freuch one has been found that seems to be especially adapted to our soil aud climatic conditions. . This variety is called "No. 10." Its points of superiori ty over other wheats are numerous, and its general cultivation throughout the state will increase the farmers' incomes many thousands of dollars annually. No. io" is a hard wheat of excellent milling quality aud matures fully two eki earliir than the common white winter wheat. In Western Oregon, par ticularly, .where grant is frequently lost on account of early, fail rains, this point in favor of "No. 10" is one that wheat growers will readily appreciate. Xnia variety also yields well, averaging, last year, ou the college farm a little over 32 bushels per acre aud, besides it averages 62 poutids to the bushel, being probably the heaviest wheat grown in the state. Another thing that Prof. French has demonstrated is, that corn can be sucess- fully grown in Oregon. He advises far mers to grow a few acres of it on their summer fallow each year for feed. By feediug it to hogs, the professor says, corn cau be made a profitably crop. Years ago it was claimed that clover could not be growu successfully in this state, but that idea has been exploded by the experiments carried on at the college where it is raised in large quantities each year. Last year tne yield was not above the average, yet 96 tons of choice clover bay was harvested from 23 acres of mea dow. Praf. French is authority for the state ment that stock ought not to be allowed to run on pasture during the wet season. Besides destroying the grass by constant ly tramping over it while the ground is wet and soft, the stock is exposed to the cold winds and rains, which is injurious and causes them, to lose in weight. By keeping stock in small enclosures dur ing the winter months and feeding them straw, with a little hay and bran, they can be kept growing at slight expense per had aud will be in good condition in the spring. .The chief line of work settled upon for the present by th$ department of agricul ture, is dairying. Experiments will be made in feeding milch cows to determine the effect of different kinds of feed upon the production of milk and along this line the attention will be given to the matter of growing forage plants. ' These experiments will be made with a view to furnishing' the farmers of Oregon with reliable iuformation bu the subject of dairying. Four years are required to complete the course in agriculture. After the first two years, the student can select his industrial work and may made a special ty of horticulture; dairying or stock raising. The first two years, however, a regular compulsory course," including four terms in blacksmithiug and wood working, is prescribed for all agricul tural students. Prof. H. T. French, who is in charge of this important department, has been connected with the college for 8 years, one year as superintendent of the farm, and the last seven years as professor of agriculture. He graduated from the Michigan Agricultural college in 1885. with the degree of B. S. ' During the next four years he was employed as an assistant on the Michigan college farm and, during that time, took a post gradu ate course and in 1889 had conferred up on him the degree of Master of Science. Prof. French is attentive to his duties and many of the experiments he has conduct ed since being connected with the Ore- eon Agricultural College, have been of great value to the state. He is affable and accommodating and is intelligently active in promoting the welfare of those engaged in tilling the soil. Small farm, near town, to rent & Yates. Yates CHANGING IT'S POLICY. Ed. Gazette: Although but little has been heard, of late, concerning the A. P, A., it seems that the order is still alive, However, judging from the following, it has learned a severe lesson. The dec laration of Mr. Thomson is a practical confession of that which many members have hitherto denied. .. "The A. P. A. (of St. Louis Mo.) is about to change the policy it has advo cated since its inception nine years ago, H. A. Thomson, a member. of the na tional advisory board in i8g5-'96, in speaking of the general work of the A. Pi A., said: ... . j 'I am convinced now that the A; P. A. has expended its energies in the wrong direction and has faded to pursue the wisest-course. Our policy has been to defeat any member of the Roman Catho lic chnrch who was a candidate for office, regardless of his oersonal merits or de ments. Now, I believe there are nun dreds of thousands of Catholics in the United States who are as truly and gen uiuelv loyal to this country and its insti tutions as I am. and when we have an tagonized such men, we have committed a grave error. - ' " 'In the future we should oppose and will oppose wrong principles instead of waging war tipon individuals. This the sentiment of Uie; more intelligent and advanced portion ofthe member ship of the American Protective Asaocia tion.' " fe . .X. : ""Corvallis, Or., Apr. 25 '97- TEN YEARS AGO. Time makes wondrous changes in the affairs of men. The approaching: city election, with its list of candidates, re minds the citizens of Corvallis that "tern pus fugits." In recalling" the election of ten Years aco. we find that the new: fast crowds the old. . Then J. O. Wilson was chosen mayor, Way man St. Clair, recorder, A. Py- gall, marshal, and F. G. Clark, treasur er. The aldermen were M. S.. Neugass, Max Friendly, B. R Job, Z. H. Davis, P. P. Grcffoz, Alex Campbell, J. R.. Bry on, Thomas Graham and J. H. Lewis. Of these! St. Clair, Friendly aud Graham have since died, others have moved and only, four out of the thirteea officers elect.d that year will vote at the coming election. f ! J. . B. Lee, J. M. Applewhite, judge Burnett, Judge McFadden, Judge Kel-say- and E. Woodward have been; the subsequent mayors. Among those since elected to the office of recorder were St. Clair, Arthur Spaulding and Johnson Porter. Of all the present candidates, not one filled a city office ten years ago. . POLITICAL POINTERS. A Salem paper reports that Lord and Kincaid are at outs. As Irwin has for some time been off color with bath offi cers, the official family is not altogether a happy one. Max Pracht Would like a facht, " ' Nice government position, But his orbit, : j Like that of Corbett, . ; Begins and ends in wishin. There will be no politics involved in the. coming city election. For mayor, the present r capabie officer," E. Wood ward, is very generally mentioned.' Johnson Porter, Ed Greffoz and Frank Lilly are in the field for police judge, and Jesse Spencer, Bird Wells and Wm. Moore would accept the position of chief of police: Father ' Cauthbrn will, doubtless, succeed himself as treasurer. Judge O. N. Denny, who may be the next minister to Hawaii, has already proved his worthiness to represent the United States in a foreign . country." His appointment would be a wise one in ev ery respect." '-. r ' The Albany Democrat remarks: "H.i W. Scott, of Portland, a brother of Abi-; gail Scott Dunniway, has gone east on a trip. It is supposed he will visit Wash ington before he returns." Linn county" populists are rowing. The Herald, in a .tectat issue, s&5& - '-'Rep resentative J. S Smith, who figured con spicuously in the recent legislative hold up, experienced a hold-up of his own yesterday.' Recently Mr. Smith, togeth er with, several ofthe populist ''county officers, purchased of J. A. Finch, the Imprint, the populist paper of this city. It seems that all of the purchase price had not been paid, and yesterday at noon Mr. Finch, who had not tnrned over the bill of sale or the keys of the building, upon which he holds a lease until July, proceeded to take possession of the office. When Mr. Smith arrived, . he found the door locked. He kicked out the glass door and went in and then trouble began. He threatened to throw. Mr. ! Finch out, but the latter stood his ground and, it is said, a big six-shooter, while not brought into actual use, was a persuader against a physical encounter. Mr. Finch and the new proprietor both held the fort un til arrangements were made for an ami- cable .settlement. Mr. Finchji in the meantime, has purchased a saw . plant aud will soon start", another ' populist pa per. A general airing ot some, 'of the populist maneuvers behind the scenes may be looked for." The Roseburg Review--Bryan -demo cratic is mad and remarks that the sil ver democrats, silver , republicans and populists are going to fuse . next "year, whether the populists so desire or do not desire. The recent populist declaration against fusion caused the outbreak. A GOOD APPOINTMENT. The Oregon congressional delegation have recommended Judge O. N. Denny for minister to Hawaii. Judge Denny is a brother off Mr. John Denny, of Al bany. , He has had wide experience in the diplomatic service, of this country and is a man of culture and ability, who will do credit to the nation and his own state.
