A Monroe correspondent speaking of
crop conditions in that vicinity, says:
Rains have almost completely stopped
nil autumn seeding, and in this section
the acreage of fall-sown grain is far short
of the average. Very little cheat, rye
Crass or other hay has been sown. Cat
tle and sheep are in prime coa dition on'
the range, while all ether kinds of sloek
are in good condition on the home pas
tures. Handles or axe3, . picks and sledges,
manufactured from Oregon oak grubs,
are on sale at several places in Portland,
says the Oregonian, and are said to be
fully equal to hickory handles, provided
the wood .is properally seasoned before
being manufactured. - There are thous
ands of acres of the finest wheat land in
the Willamette valley covered with oak
grubs, most of which "have grown up
since the country was settled by whites.
These grubs would furnish -mat-rial for
all the ax, pick, sledge and other han
dles used on thecoast, and with the prop
er machinery for turning such handles,
a profitable industry might be carried on
here. .
In the columns of this paper during

dent to Mr. " Miles Stany of Monroe.
While mowing hay with a derrick in a
large barn he found it necessary to climb
up near the roof to untangle the ropes on
the carriage track of the derrick. Whi'e
performing this duty he had the misfor
tune to lose his hold and fall to the floor
below, a distance of thirty feet. His
principal injury sustained in the fall was
a fracture of the hip: though kept to his
bed for a time he was soon up and it was
thought his trouble was oyer. But the
fractured joint failed to properly knit and
as a result, Mr. Starr has been canfined
to his bed in this city for over a month.
For seven weeks he has been compelled
to lie with an eight- pound weight sus
pended over a pulley to his injured limb.

The petition of Mrs. Lena Weaver for
the removal of M. Viola Crawford a 3
administratrix in the estate of N.P.
Briggs, was brought up for discussion iu
in the probate court on Friday last.
The petition was filed several months
ago,' arid alleges that any movement of
administration on the part of the admin
isfrix would be prejudicial to the interests
o: Mrs. Weaver. . The principal argu
ment in the case was made by the ad
ministratrix council to Iiave the petition
made more definite along certain points
that are at present misunderst ood and
ambiguous,
Pianos and organs are coming, and a
music store is tobe established in Corvall
is. It is an easy matter for anoffice man to
sit in his office and formulate impressive
argument for an advertisement, or dic
tate plans, and inducements for some
traveling salesman to deal out to the
people. But it takes skill and practice
to build a piano and money, to - buy a
good ona, and if there is such a thing as
best the man who has it has not been
found. But if you will call at the new
music store you can see aa honest high
grade line of goods to be offered to the
public for sale or lease on reasonable
terms at the Allen and Farra Brick, ad

present time. These : people should re
ceive the encouragement of our citizens,
for it is to our interests to have our pres
ent comparatively unsettled . and fertile
country taken hold of by industrious

: On last Saturday there was an adjour
ned meeting' of the county court held at
the court house the main business being
that relative to the Long Tom and the
work carried on up there in making it
navigable. The question broaght before
those in council was whether or not the
Long Tom bridges are to be removed.
No decisive action is to be taken in the
matter until after the - public meeting
that is to be held ia Corvallis some time
in the future. At this meetimg will pre
side the Ward ot Engineers and Captain
Longfitt. in charge of the work, and after
hearing the sentiments expressed at this
meeting by the representative citizens,
final conclusions will be drawn by the
board as to what shall be done with the
bridges of Long Tern, j , , ?
Dairying is proving itself to be an in
dustry of profit in the Willamette Valley,
as the natural conditions of things here
are so well adapted for the particular line
of work. With the introduction of daries
to such a large extent, those controlling
and managing them are taking up the
improved methods of providing feed for
the dairy cows. Out at the college the
agricultual students are taught, 'along
this line, the value of ensilage and silo.
In fact the entire winter feed for the
dairy cows out there is of this kind.
The large silos are filled with ensilage
orn, it requiring many tons each year
though it requires but a few acres of
land to produce it. The estimated cost
of raising and cutting the ensilage is
about $1.00 yer ton, and 15 acres of land
will produce 153 tous or euough feed for
the largest of our dairies in a single
year. - -

Ml LI NOV, All LUCK."
THE FARMERS ARE DEFEATED
BY A SCORE OF S TO O.
The Clubmen Pronounce 'Them The
Strongest Team in The North
West Today.
On a slushy field in a pelting rain 500
people saw the orange go down in defeat
before an opponent her inferior in every
thing but generalship. - In the first half
O. A. C. played the b'ianta of old Mult
nomah to a standstill, and showed her
superiority in individual play and in
unison. , Ia the' second half, '. which
opened auspiciously for the collegians,
the red and white fell into a streak of
"Multnomah luck" which netted her a
touch down on a fluke, twelve minutes
before the half closed. Never did O. A
C. offer more superb defense, or brilliant
offense ; never did club men play cleaner
or more manly ball.
This was reajly the farmers first con-
teet, for their games with. Albany and
Salem, were not sufficient to even inter- j
est them. Here then, was the test to
prove their metal. .The Portlaiid Tele
gram said of the clubmen when they left
for Corvallis:
"The team has been practicing regu
larly every . day since it defeated univer
sity of Oregon last Saturday, and is now
in better trim than ever before. The
boys expect little trouble in defeating
the Corvallis team, though there is no
standard by which to judge of the lat-
te's ability." ,
The farmers entered the game beaten.
Ignorant of their own strength, they
hoped simply to hold Multnomah to a
small score.
The farmers defended the west goal
and Multnomah kicked off to their 10
yard line. The ball was brought back
five yards. The first attack on Multno
mah's line netted the orange five yards,
by a series of rapid plays the farmers'
backs and tackles simply ran over the
clubmen's line without once losing the
ball, until Thurston, after going through
the dreaded McMillon for five yards,
fumbled tbe ball on Multnomah's 45
yard line. V
The clubmen's attack on the farmers'
line and ends showed the latter's strength
on defense, and the ball was theirs on
ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
Tt is now practically settled that the
U. of O. vs O. A. C. football game
Thanksgiving will be held at Eugene.

her success with the ball that she pre

bent every' energy and finally placed the
ball on the farmers 2-yard line, on the
third down with 3 yards to gain, Stiles

without gain. He fumbled, and the

jurs. unaprnan, wnose maiden name
was Miss Jane King, is charged with the
same crime and made codefendant with
Dr. Chapman.
Saturday, Deputy Sheriff Henderson
served the warrant of arrest on Dr. and
Mrs. Chapman, at their home in Monroe.

with illness, but both parties were taken

It has never been a policy of this paper
to pronounce, judgment before convic
tion. As a disseminator of news, it owes
its readers a narration of the facts in the
case without drawing conclusions, and
the facts as given by Mr. Cavender seem
tobe as follows.: .
Dr. Chapman was born near Gains
ville, Hall county, Ga, in October, 1835.
This place is 53 miles north of Atlanta.
During the war he was married to Miss
Amanda R. Garner. To them four
daughters were born, two of whom still
reside near the old home; one is dead,
and the other is Mr. T. W. Cavender, of
Monroe. Chapman was a deacon in the
Baptist church at. Gainsyille, and Miss
King was a member of this same denom
ination there. , . ..
About the year 1876 Chapman left
Georgia for a trip, pretending to be
working for his brother on a salary of
$600 per year. In fact, he and Miss King
left for Oregon, settled in Scio, and
Chapman returned to his family. Soon
a child was born to Miss King, and after
a few months, she and the child returned
to Georgia, making their home at Atlan
ta wheie Chapman was attending a med
ical school. ' Miss King and her child re
mained there ten or twelve years. . -
. In 1382 Chapman went - to New York,
presumably to take a post-graduate course
in a medical school, but in reality he left
for Oregon, Miss King and child soon
following. He wrote from - Kalama,
Wash., about this time, that he was sur
geon on a ship, but he was living at Mon
roe with Miss King. Until 1895 or 1896
he constantly ; wrote to ' his; Georgia
familyj all his- letters being postmarked
at Kalama, Wash., and only two years
ago did his people even suspect his dual
character.
V During his residence in Monroe Dr
Chapman has had the respect and confi
dence of the community . 'I He has ac
quired property aud made several real
estate of transactions. . If the allegations
of bis son-in-law prove true, legal jcom
plications 'may arise which,. will involve
the title to one farm of 160 acres and an
other of 100 acres. Under the Oregon
law the real Mrs. Chapman is entitled to
dower rights in one-half of this prop-.
erty during her natural life.

The Athletic Associ ation of Pacific
University met Saturday morning and
decided to follow the example set by the
University of Oregon and the Oregon
agricultural college and withdraw from
the league. The - association strongly
favored the formation of an other league
disbarring President Hawley's footbal
team. The defeat of Pacific university
by the Salem team (not the university)
probably caused th action taken by the
university of Oregon and Oregon agricul
tural college.- Owing to the disbanding
of Pacific Univertity's football team and
the absence of the coach, the kind offer
of Oregon agricultural college to play
Pacific Univergity, although defeated by
Salem, has been declined, and the game
forfeited to Oregon agricultural college,
causing the last game to be played as
usual Thanksgiving between the univer
sity of Oregon and Oregon -agricultural
college, at Eugene. Hatchet,
Again the farmers have the blues and
again the rain must stand the blame.
Perhaps of all classes of people none are
mare commonly subject to the blues
than the farmers, this is due to the
fact that ' the weather conditions,
the principal cause of the blues, has to
do with the good or bad of their inter
ests. He waats it because it is at this
time of year that he sows his fall grain,
and it is from his fall gram the farmer
realizes the greater part of his revenue.
"I have'nt sown but five -acres," said a
Mountain View farmer Tuesday.
"I have ten acres in," said another from
Phiiomath, while a third put a blue cli
max to tbe situation by adding that he
"hadn't sowed a darn seed." This has
been an unusual year and we must bear
it with the hopes of having a . much
better one as an usher to the twentieth
century. December may be such as to
allow-the faamers who have not sown
their graiu, a chance to do so.

A few days ago a Union- Gazette man
had occasion to -visit a farm near Cor
vallis where the owner finds time be
tween his farm work and the chores to
raise a number of Denny pheasants, as a
matter of fancy. From observations tak
en there regarding the birds and the
work of rearing them, it occurred to the
reporter that besides the pleasure found
in raising pheasants there is also a profit
to be made in this pursuit. -
The birds are kept in a large wire
screened pen, with plenty of room' plen
ty of light and air. No prettier sight
could be seen than an enclosure in
which are a score or more of these orient
al birds, with the richly colored breasts
glistening in the sunlight like polished
plates of copper. They have a distaste
and aversion for strangers however,, and
hide themselves when anyone other than
their keeper approaches their- enclosure.
Along in April the mother bird begins
to lay and from then on until July she
scarcely lets a dav pass without donat
ing an egg to lier nest . bidden in some
secluded nook in the enclosure. A wild
bird will lay but two -sittings, or about
25 eggs, but the tame one lays from 75
to 100 during the flaying season. But
the tame birdnever sits. Her eggs are
turned over to the domestic hen to un
dergo the process of incubation, and so
soon as the little brown and black strip
ed fellows break through the shell that
encloses them, they must be taken at
once to the enclosure, or their natural
instincts will tell them to ; bid goodby
at an early date to their foster parent
and hie away to the wild woods and
meadows.
What is nourishing rood for a domestic
chick is poison for a young pheasant.
Worms and bugs, is food for the latter
and after two weeks of this they are able
to begin on the wheat and other grains
that are that are thrown to to the old
ones.
Those who fancy pretty birde can
find none prettier than our own beauti
ful Denny pheasants.
For the next sixty days will offer all I
my goods at a bargain and allow . ten per
cent discount. Have five dozen trimmed
hats at prices from $1.55 to $2.75. Four
dozen school and street hats from 25 to i
50 cents. - Mas. J. Mason.
no proiessionai company save his own is
producing it. Amateur companies, how
ever, may present the play by paying for
the privilege. So much for the merit
of the production. The argument is
rollicking and spicy, the action fast and
furious and the situations uproarously
funny. Each act, and there are three of
them, is a complete spasm, and the play
as a whole one grand convulsion. .
Erastus Underholt, a ; retired . pork
packer . of Kansas city, has moved to
New York City with his family, their pur
pose being to get into "sassity." Three
years of failure finds them, when the
play opens, disgusted and discouraged.
Charles, son' of Erastus, has developed
into a fast young man and his sprees are
of nightly occurrence. The night before
the play opens has been no exception.
Charles wakes to find in his bed a man
who is a total stranger. Who is he?
How did he get there? The faithf ulJen
nings is made a confident, and together
lhey search the strangers clothes. It de
velops that he is a barber of a theosophi
cal turn of mind, and in his pocket is a
well-thumbed copy of the "Light of
Asia." A happy ; thought comes to
Charles. He will introduce the barber
to his father as a genuine Pundit his
friend from India. This will explain his
late arrival home and the presence of the
stranger. Underholt is taken in by the
deception, but having an eye to busi
ness, determines to detain , his new
friend, forcibly if need be, and advertise
him as a fad. This will bring society
flocking to his home. The plot is built
up on Undcrholt's efforts to get into so
ciety and Shauer's efforts to get out, and
the complications that arise are side
splitting. The cast has been carefully selected,
and under the - direction of Mr. Paul
give promise fit presenting the best en
tertainment ever offered by amateurs in
Coryallis.
- ' THE CAST-
", News was received here late Wednes
day afternoon of the finding of the dead
body of a miser, . in his lonely cabin
some two miles from the Sam King place
Kings Valley. The dead man isMichael
McGraith, who he is or whence he came
are questions thai can not be . answered
by those who have met him since his
arrival in Kings' Valley four' years ago.
On the person of the man and among his
belongings in the cabin were found cheq
ues on Portland banks amounting to
several thousand dollars, yet the man
died in seemingly; abject poverty, With
no friends, no kindred, no one to shed a
tear or claim the fortune he has left be
hind. -,.-:' : . . -:-
, Justice Willard Price, of Kings "Valley,
summoned a jury and an inquest was
held over the body of McGraith. The
verdict rendered was that the man bad
been dead forur days when his body was
discovered, and that death, was the result
of stomach troubles and intestinal de
rangement. He was between the age of
55 and 60. Outside of the money drafts,
the only-belongings of tbe miser found in
his miserable cabin, wasa broken chair
and table, a rude bed of ferns,-and a few
greasy pots and kettles in which he
cooked Mb food. 1
He was buried
