ALSEA AMUSEMENTS.
An Ex-Preacher Throws an Ax
and Marion Hayden Objects
to Being so Entertained.
W. D. Risley came out from Alsea
Wednesday, beariug the appearance of
having boen a prominent actor in a dyn
amite explosion. He was bruised of
body and weary in spirit aad he has af
firmed that henceforth Alsea will see him
no more.
It was Marion Hayden who caused the
welts and bumps that ornamented Ris
ley's face aad who is responsible for Al-
sea's loss of a citizen. If even Risley's
story is true, the Alsea people owe a debt
of gratitude to "Gentleman" Hayd.n if
Risley stays away.
The public is familiar with the Alsea
man-trap trouble, and Risley's departure
is the result, indirectly, of that difficulty.
Mrs. Slate, Marion Hayden's sister, has
been annoyed by Risley for some time,
the latter attempting to control the farm
interests of both, mistreating the stock
and in other ways making forbearance
cease to be a virtue.
A week or so ago Mr. Hayden went to
his sister's place to cut some wood and
do otiicr cho:es fur her, putting his horse
in the stable. Wheu he had finished he
weut for his horse and saw some one in
the barn, dodge behind a wag . In
the dim light lie saw Risley swinging an
ax and exclaiming, "I'vs got you now,
I'll fix ;-ou now." Risley lei the ax fiy
ai-.rl the blade just missed Hayden's head.
Marian went, to the house for a gun but
when he returned the ex-preacher had
disaaearud.
Mr. HayJen caused the arrest of the
ax thrower, vlio was bound over to the
ed Risley in telling his story, "and I had
hard work getting bonds. I don't see
what makes Marion Hayden so popular
there."
The next Sunday both were at Sunday
school and after adjournment llr. Hay-
den told the people that he had been ns-
sanlted 111 the dark, and if kis body was
found in some byway, they might know
that his death was not accidental. He
meniiuucu uo names, out n.isicy jumper
up aad shouted, "you threw the ax at
me first."
The other day Hayden an'l Risley met
at the house of A. L. Clark and Risley
was treated to a good old fashioned
thrashing. Risley, remembering the
ecstasies of pain that thrilled his being
at the time, thus described the incident:
"Hek-i-cked me insensible. Then he
Jumped on me, kicking me over the
i heart an 1 u:t the head. Then he beat
me again and dragged me 'way over to a
j ditch. He threw me iu t'e ditch and
i stamped me again." For an insensible
" perceptions were very keen, ev-
tly.
it. - ley says uc is airaui 10 return 10 ai-
sea and is not going back. He was at
; the court house Weduesday trying to
j find out the make-up of the next grand
1 jury. When told that no one .new that
1 yet. he -.-dhetically remarked, "if there
are any Alsea fellows on, they will fix
I -.e."
I A. Mr- Hayden is a peaceable, respon-
I sible'aud itist citi.-.ev aud a man who
I
particularly dislikes notoriety and squab
: '.!, it is safe to say that any punishment
I he inS'cted on Risley was provoked and
deserved.

An Orator That Borrowed.
Last spring the alumni association of
the Agricultural College voted a cash
prize of $ 50 for the best oration by a stu
dent ia a contest to be held during the
commencement exercises. The faculty
gave a second prize of $25. The orations
were to be judged on the thought, ex
pression and delivery. Originality was
given a possible 40 points out of a pos
sible hundred. The judges of thought
and expression were professors in the
state university, Willamette university
and Monmouth normal school.
Among the aspiring students in the
contest, was Thos. Medley, of Cottage
Grove. It was rumored that some of the
faculty "had it in for him," and the pop
ular sentiment immediately flowed to his
support. When the contest was held the
opera house was packed and Medley was
cheered to the echo. His oration had al
ready been graded very high by the com
mittee on thought and expression, and
his delivery was excellent. Probably the
tremeudious cheering that greeted his ap
pearance had something to do with his
elooueut manner. He won the 50 with
ease and went heme; nor did he return
to school the next term.
It has since been learned that some
dead and gone statesman really won the
prize, fer Medley bodily stole his oration.
It was found in an old volume by one of
the professors. It appears now that some
of the faculty suspected from the first that
the oration was not original, and Medley,
knowing these suspicions, was clever
enough to appeal to the popular senti
mevl, .-n the ground that "the faculty is
prejudiced." No proof of the suspected
borrowing could be found at the time and
Medley eaptured tke glory and the cash.
He has probably spent the cash and he
now loses the glory.
The honors of the finrt prize will now
be conferred on the winner of the second
prize, Miss Holdeu or ?.Iiss Burnett, but
the money has departed forever.

A Story for Boys.
The following story is true, except tho
facts, and the parties were net known by
the writer:
Once, iu a very small town in a very
large state there lived two little boys a
bad little boy and a good little boy. The
bad little boy was named Bill Bodeful,
while the good little boy was called Wil
lie Weal. The goodness of one boy and
the badness of the other, is yet remem
bered by old men who were boys,
too, at the time of which I speak of. Bill
was shockingly bad and Willie was shock
ingly good.
Bill went to circuses, played football,
went in swimming against his mother's
wishes, stole watermelons and was
whipped every Wednesday aud Saturday.
Willie would not play with other boys
they were so rough. Willie helped his
mother iu many ways. When she missed
the jam and pieces ot fruit cake, it was
Willie who found that the cat was the
thief ahA it was Willie who castigattd
the prowling feline.
Iu S--inlay school Bill would pinch
other little boys and wiuk at the little
girls across the room, while Willie folded
his hand i across his breast and with an
angelic expression 011 his face sang swet
songs of piaise,
Willie is dead now, and is singing
joyous hymns on the bright jolden sh.re.
Bill, too, is on a goldf-11 shore where the
Yukon's glassy surf.-.ce chills the beams
of a midnight sun. ;ind rayless gloin
enshrouds the valley of t'-e Klondike.
Thus is Willie rewarded for his virtue,
while Bill is paying the penalty a
crime-stained life. We draw the curtain.
Amon Politicians.
The republican clubs of Be;itou coun
ty, outside Of Corvallis. seem to be thor
oughly iu earnest in behalf of a cleanly
in aged aud harmonious party. They
have not allowed the u-es tlou ing of any
republican's repuMicanisiii in eluding
delegates and oncers. Wells club elect
ed as delegates President Carter and W.
S TomlinsoM, and the latter will attend
in person. Alfca selected SN. Warfield.
Win. Headrick and V. Vidito. At least
one of these gentleme.i will represent
their club at Portland. Philomath has
six delegates, as follows: R O. I.. ;gau,
R. F. Holm, N.E. Newton, A.B. Newton,
A. J. Williams, G.W. Cooper. The Wells
correspondent in another column states
that the populist leader at lh-t place,
Felix Dodele, strongly favor.- fusion,
while the democratic warriors, Jaek Hall
anJ Sam McElniurry, are s decidedly
opposed to the proposed d"se of unadul
terated populism. Wells furnishes Wg
deni'cratic majorities but very few dem
ocr.tic candidates. There is a tendency
among town democrats to "sit down" on
Well-' as an applicant for pie. Wells
seems now to be sitting down ou the
town dem-crats as advocates of a mar
riage with the pops.
Iu Corvallis the interest in the fusion
proposition languishes. Editor Irvine
on the democratic side aud John Vernig,
taking the populist view, are the most
z.alous workers in behalf of union.
What will the union ticket be? One
gentleman, a republican though, has fix
ed up the following slate: Joint senator,
Major Bruce; joint representative, Editor
Stewart; representative, Job . Starr;
county judge, A. L. McFadden; commis
sioner, Eugene Palmer; clerk, pre.-.ent
incumbent; assessor, ditto; treasurer,
ditto; recorder, J. W. Ingle; school su
perintendent, Prof. Sheak; Theriff, ! ! ! ?
? i i
Jack Hall can get up a good sized sher
iff boomlct if he so chooses. He has
pulled up democratic majorities in Wells
year after y6ar, aud many of the faith
throu-hout the county believe he and
his precinct should now be rewarded, an
well rewarded.
The Oregonian emerges from its camp
vn the table lauds of llarinouy, hard by
a pearly fountain that forms limpid rills,
to say that "a Mitchell republican sqHad
or detail captured the Blaine club the
other night," and that the same tactics
are pursued with other clubs. And the
Tribune, which now wears a republican
veneering1, rises on the same day to re
mark, "The Simon club factory will now
resume business on double time in a wild
aud furious effort to gain representation
in the league convention. It costs only
$1.50 and a keg of beer to organize the
ordinary Simon club. But those whieh
are likely to be organized in Mr. Simon's
office will cost only the price of station
ery." This is harmony as interpreted
by Portland politicians and imitated in
seme parts of the state outside.
CASTOR I A
Tor Infants and Children.
Young; Republicans Organize.
Arrangements are being perfected for
the organization of a young men's re
publican club here. It is not proposed
to make it in any sense autagonistic te
the old club, V.ut it wili have its own
special work of looking after the young
voters and teaching them sound political
economy. It will probably not send a
delegation to the club contention at
Portland, as that would in a measure
give Corvallis a double representation,
many of the proposed members being
members of the old club.
The membership, according to the call
that is being circulated, will be limited
to republican voters ef Benton county
who are between the ages of 21 aud 35.
It was not learned wheu the organization
will be effected.
