WAYSIDE GLEANINGS.
The regular annual school meeting
convenes next Monday, March -1th, at II
o'clock p. m. in the Court street echool
home.
'I he mid-week meeting at the Con
gregational church this evening will be
a preparatory service for the communion,
which takes place next Sunday, directly
following morning service. The members
are earnestly requested to be present.
The Wingate building in the East
End is being rapidly fitted up for the
new firm of Waltber & Sexton. The
entire front of the building has been
torn out in order that it may be fitted
op for plate glass; while south of the
building and across the alloy is a new
iron-clad warehouse well on toward
completion, which measures 100 feet in
length by 32 in width. The main store
hide fair to be un ornament to that part
of the town.
There is a very general desire among
the republicans of this city to show some
mark of appreciation to those of our
representatives in the Oregon legislature
who really represented the sentiments
of their constituents by voting against
Henry V. Corbett. A banquet has been
''Duly talked of and, apparently, uni
versally approved, but the trouble, up
to this moment, is where to find the
three meu whom we desire to honor, so
tlmt we could count on them a'l being
linro at the same time. Mr. Williamson
arrived here today, but Messre. McGreer
nd Huberts ure still in the valley and
no one seems to know when they will
i home.
A. Vanderpool, of Wells Station, tells
'ho following rat story to a correspond.
nt of the Albany Democrat : "It seems
'hat whole herds of rate have been
woopii,B down through the valley, hav
"K regular trails, and have taken Wells
Mwt completely. In a few days in
nr. Vanderpool'e barn 107 of the var
mints were killed by clubs, and it is
"'ought there are several hundred left,

Mr. D. Heroux, who was seriously if ;
not fatally injured yesterday by falling
from the curbiug of one of the Seufert
llsh wheels, a distance of nearly twent
five feet to the solid rocks below, was
taken by his family this afternoon to
St. Vincent's hospital. Mr. Heroux
had not recovered consciousness and
attending physicians think there is a
bare chance that he may recover. In
connection with this unfortunate case It
is worthy of mention that Seufert Uros.
are bearing all the expense, although it
happened through no fault of theirs.

1'he case of the State of Oregon vs,
John Gates was called by Recorder N.
J, Judah at Salem Monday. The de
fendant appeared with his attorney, L.
H. McMahan, in the court room, and
signified his readiness to proceed with
the case. .1. N. Hart, the prosecuting
attorney, was there for the state and in
the absence of the prosecuting witness,
JL L, Gil), or any other witness, and
the report of the officers to the effect
that due search had been made for Mr.
Gill and that his whereabouts could not
be discovered, moved to dismiss the case
against Mr. Gates. In doing so, Mr.
Hart said it was with great reluctance
that he was forced to take this step, but
the fact that the witnesses necessary to
prove a crime were away and could not
be found, would not warrant the state
in asking for a continuance of the case.
The court ordered that the case be
dismissed and the defendant discharged.
L. II. McMahan, who has deposited $f00
cash hail for the appearance of the de
fendant drew down his money and the
$1300 found on Gates at the time of his
arrest, was returned to Mr. Gates, who
went on his way rejoicing.
The money returned to Gatee was
given to him to pay for the delivery of a
vote for United Stutes senator, but
Gates skipped with it and was arrested
and brought back, but the o.vnere of the
money did not claim it.
Uiittllnc Farm U.itiieily.
A big crowd witnessed the opening
performance of "The Star Boarder" at
Cord ray 'a theater last night. If ap
plause and ringing laughter ars a critt
rion, then the piece was a complete
success.
"The Star Boarder" was built for fun
making only, and the audience of last
evening will give the authors a certifi
cate that they have succeeded, if it is
necessary. Just why the piece is called
what it is called is not quite clear; al
most any other title would have served
the purpose as well. It is a farce in the
strictest sense of the word, and makes
no pretentions to be anything else
There is not a shadow of plot, but the
entertainment is divided into three in
stallinents, and each contains enough
material to stock an ordinary farce.
From rise to fall of the curtain there is
something "doing" ail the time. The
center of the stage is kept warm and the
audience is continually experiencing an
earthquake of laughter. "The Star
Boarder" is a collection of specialties
and rapid-fire incidents, interlarded
with musical numbers and supported by
a chorus of pretty girls.
There is a vim and liveliness to the
farce that makes it refreshing, the gin
ger being all sufficient. Oregonian.

A Gentle Hint,
In our stvle of climate, with 'As sud
den changes of temperature, rain, wind
and sunshine often intermingled in a
single day, it is no wonder that our
children, friends and relatives are so
frequently taken from us by neglected
colds, half the deaths resulting directly
from tliis cause. A bottle of Boschee'e
German Syrup kept about your home
for immediate use will prevent serious
sickness, a large doctor's bill, and per
haps death, by the use of three or four
doses. For curingjConsumption, Hem
orrhages, Pneumonia, seyere Coughs,
Croup, or any disease of the Throat or

Missionaries were the pioneers of com

than contributing of their abundance to
the cause of Chinese missions. The
missionaries did not talk to the Chinese
of a burning hell and a vindictive God,
as the enemies of Christianity have so
often alleged, but of the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man. Not
the sentimental fatherhood one hears so
much of these days, but a practical
fatherhood and brotherhood that spends
