What Was It? The suit recently filed in the justice court against W. W. Purdy, the railroad promoter, has ben settled and dismissed. Purdy paid the $150 thus quashing further proceedings. Roseburg News. Bnznr n Success. The bazar given by the Ladies of the Baptist church In the Alliance building on Front street yesterday, was a suc cess despite tho inclement weather. They had a fine line of articles and everything sold well, the attendance being large considering the weather. Many to Meetings. About forty Marshfleld people went to the Shan non meetings in North Bend last evening on the Flyer, which was chartered for the trip. They report the meetings a great success. Miss Mable Clare Mlllls was called upon for a selection last evening. Alva Doll and the other members of the committee have arranged for reg ular excursions every Tuesday and Friday evenings from here. t Appear Here. Sunnell, the hand' cuff' artist, will appear at the Maso nic Opera House Sunday evening with one of the most difficult and interesting performances ever given on a local stage. He has the rec ord of making his eccape from 268 prisons that were declared to over come the jail-breaker's highest art and has the Teputatlon of being the only man to ever get out of Sibe rian prison after being handcuffed to the bars. Handcuffs, shackles- and prison locks have no terrors for him. Snys Ho Was Robbed. A log-i ger caused quite a stir on Front street this morning by claiming he had been robbed last night of $55 In cash, a gold watch a certificate of deposit for $100. He said that a new found friend whom he had taken to his room for lodging, had arisen during the night and robbed him. Later, Marshal Carter got on the trial and the alleged victim "crawfished" on tho amount' ho claimed to have been robbed of. The officers have some doubt as to whether he was robbed at all. SAM NESS, the Coqullle cannervr man, was In Marshfleld today arr ranging for the shipment of tho balance of the season's paclc there. EVERYBODY HEAR SHANNON.

Thrift, who passed through here yesterday en route to Salem to attend a meeting of the county assessors of the state, has gathered some valuable data on the assessment of land In Oregon. He has secured the number of acres of Jllllable and non-tillable land In practically all tho counties In the state, the assessment per acre and the total assessment. In this com parison, Coos county shows up high, ranking fifth In the assessed value of Its tillable acreage. A comparison of the valuations follows, the first figures for each county showing the tillable land data and the second, the non-tillable. It will be noted that the assessed valuation of Coos coun ty Is high by comparison with some other counties of the state. The fig ures for the adjoining counties of Coos' and Douglas are Interesting because of their proximity and simi larity. In Douglas county, the as sessed valuation per acre of tillable land Is only $32.44 por acre while In Coos county it is $56.42; non tillable land Is $9.65 In Coos county and only $7.30 In Douglas. In Jack son county, where some fruit land sells as high as $1,000 per acre, til lable land Is assessed at only $58.78 while In Coos, It is only $2.36 less, ay rather remarkable showing.

Two brothers onco lived down thl - way, And one was Do and one was Say, If streets were dirty, taxes high Or schools too crowded, Say would cry, "Oh! what a town!" but Brother Dc Would set to work to make things new. And while Do worked Say still would cry: "Ho does It wrong, I know that I Could do It right." So all the day Was heard the clack of Brother, Say, But this one fact from none was hid. Say always talked, Do always did. "Ergophobla," according to a contemporary, is tho other name for laziness. Not many lazy people can bo "expected to commit that to mem ory. A little bird sat on a telegraph wire, And said to his mates, "I declare. When wireless telegraphy comes . . Into, voguo We'll all have to sit on tho air." -OTTO SCHETTER. "I would rather bo a cloak model and chew gum than be a stage fa vorite," declares Margaret Anglln. All right, Maggie; but why not chew gum anyhow? Didn't Gntlier Baby In. I Tho baby shut tho folding bed, And father s blood ran cold, Until ho found the little "lamb" 1Y, 1 ti lil.l. . m . . a. ! vus noi wjinin mo ioiq. A contemporary reports that a child has be"en born 'in Texas with, three pairs of hands. Tho caso ought to be of Interest to the glova manufacturers as woll as medical men. This' year's cabbage crop is report ed to be the greatest in history, and there seems to bo no good reason why Ivy Condron shouldn't be proud 'of his title "the Cabbage King," won in time of such strenuous competi tion. Here is tho way papers will write up weddings ten years hence: "The bride looked very well in a travel ing dress, but all eyes wero centered upon tho groom. Ho wore a dark suit that fitted his form perfectly and In his dainty gloved hands ho carried a small rose. His curly hair was beautifully done, and a delicate odor of hair oil of tho best quality floated down tho lslo as he passed. The young peoplo will miss him now that he Is married. He Is loved by all for his many accomplishments, his tender grace and his winning' ways. Tho bride commands a good salary as bookkeeper and tho groom will miss nono of tho luxuries to which ho has been accustomed. A crowd of pretty men saw him off at tho depot. Tho Rill Collectors. Tho bill collectors now beguile, My thoughts from sorrow freeing; Their very soft, porsuaslvo smile Lights up my Inward being. I call It not an unkind fate, Nor roar like all creation Because they como to dissipate My frail accumulation. Tho bill collector's voice Is low And full of deop appealing; Thore Is In his demand for dough A mellow depth of feeling. It Is as though he wore to say, "This busy month Is through, sir; You had tho goods, wo, want our pay, And want it p. d. q., sir." So when they como I do not flinch. My shirt, I do not tear It; They get it all, that Is a cinch, And I must grin and bear It, This glad reflection anyway Will mitigate my sorrow, Tho ono who goes (load broke today May havo tho coin tomorrow.
