Frank Maxun and family de
parted, Monday, for Arizona. They

Monday service will begin on the
Corvallis-Monroe route. Mr. Ells
worth was awarded the contract for
carrying the mail at $648 per year,
as mentioned in a former issue.
In connection with th- 6ervice is a
free delivery system, and the car
rier is obliged to place mail in boxes
placed along the route by the
various residents. When mail is
placed in boxes along the route, it
is always at the individual's risk.
The mail is to arrive from Monroe
by 10:30 a. m. and on his return
the carrier does not depart from
this city until after he his received
the mails ithat arrive on the after
noon trains. At present Mr. Ells
worth will carry the mails on horse
back.
An enthusiastic plea for a wide
expansion of rural free delivery is
made in the annual report of W.
M. Johnson, first assistant post
master general. He says the ex
traordinary development of this
system during the past 12 months
under the stimulus of appropria
tions of $450,000 for the fiscal year
1899-1900, and $1,750,000 for the
fiscal year 1900 1901 is conclusive
as showing that hereafter it must
be a permanent and expanding
feature ef the postal administration.
The service may now be extended
as swiftly as congress may direct,
or as the means permit, until it
covers all the portions of the United
States now reached in whole or in
part by the more primitive methods
of the postal service.
Chicken fanciers should not for
get that there is to be a first-class
poultry show In this city frm
December 18 to 22. Let everyone
interested in high class fowls lend a
hand to making this exhibit a suc
oess. The only way to do this is
to get your birds ready for entry.
If they are worthy they will take a
premium, and if not they will at
least add to the attractiveness and
interest of the show. It is only
by gdtting the- fowls together in
numbers that comparisons can be
made. Comparisons are necessary
for the education of anybody de
sirous of improving and up-building
their business, no matter what
its nature may be. Charley Small,
of this city, is assistant secretary
of the association. Anv parties de
siring information can apply to
him. Let everyone exhibit his
birds.

ing should be called to discuss the
question.

rendered.

Portland, was taken up. It was
liberally responded to, several boxes

being subscribed. Every Thanks
giving, donations of this nature are
asked of the charitably inclined,
for the benefit of this worthy in
stitution. A rather remarkable thing hap
pened in tho chicken line in this
city a few days ego. After a brief
illness a choice hen trom the liocK
of A S Cameron "kicked the buck
et." Mr. Cameron and other mem
bers of the family have kept well
posted on the many dreadful things
that happen to disease the flesh of
hen kind, and Mr Cameron decided
to investigate the cause of death.
At the post mortem examinatien it
was discovered that the hen car
ried two perfect eggs, each in a
separate shell, and around these
shells was grown another very
large shell which enclosed the two
eggs. Each of the eggs were of
average size, but when united by
this outer sheli were of a size that
would make an 03trich proud.

Was Granted a Divorce.
Frances Thornton has been
granted a divorce from Luke
Thornton, in th state circuit
ecnrt at Oregc City. The cou
ple were- married in Missouri, in
April, 1874. The plaintiff, by
her attorneys, set iorth in her
plea that the defendant, disre
garding his duties as a husband,
had for a long time pasts aud
since their marriage,v had been
guilty of cruel and inhuman
treatment, and had rendered her
life burdensome and unbearable,
and that the defendant would
frequently burst forth and be
come angry and use vile and
abusive language and illtreat
her in a snameful manner, and
that this defendant failed, neg
lected and refused to provide lor
her and her children.
The oeurt made the following
conclusions: That the plaintiff
is entitled to a decree of divorce
and entitled to the sole care, cus
tody and control of her six
minor children and owner of
real property in Benton county,
Oregon.
The Thorntons were residents
of Corvallis for several years.
A son, l,Bud," was a member of
the 2nd Oregon and saw service
in the Philippines. The family
left last summer for Oregon City,
whero Mrs. Thornton engaged in
the hotel business.
From -Michigan.
Mr?. Lena Stensell, nee Kisor,
arived last Tuesday from Michi
gan, accompanied by two small
children. Her husband and eld
est child remained in the Bast.
It is several years since Mr. and
Mrs. Stensell left Corvallis to
make their home in Michigan.
Mr. Stensell was quite well
known in this city, having been
a clerk in the Ocoidental hotel
for several years, while bis wife
was raised in this county. The
mention of Mr. Stesseli's name
recalls an interesting inoident,
related by Hon. J. D. Daly, of
this city, on his return from
Philadelphia, where be had been
as a member of the Oregon dele
gation at the republican national
ccoventiou held last June. Ac
cording to Mr. Daly, while in
Philadelphia, he was sought for
by a member of thft Michigan
delegation, and when they met
and compared notes it was found
that) the Mickigan member was
Gone other than Mr. Stensell and
his interest in the Oregon dele
gation was occasioned on account
of his having been at one time a
resident of Corvallis. By chance
he encountered a gentleman from
the very city in which he had re
sided years before and whioh
was the home of bis wife's rela
tives. Mrs. Stensell will visit
here for an indefinite period.

Ole Olson
"Has Made Millions Laugh.'
Amusement lovers are now awating
the coming of our old and tried Swedish
friend, Ben Hendricks, in "Ole Olson,"
at the Opera House next Taesday night.
"Ole Olson" is advertised as "the play
that has made millions laugh," and in
its present revised form it is destined to
make those same millions laugh again.
Ba; it has never caused a blush. The
comedy is of the polite kind, containing
nothing in the least suggestive, nor is it
even coarse ; but it is none the less ex
tremely fanny. Tke specialties intro
duced during the performance are nu
merous and original. The singing of
the National Swedish Ladies' Quartette
will doubtless prove an especially enjoy
able feature. Reserved seats 50 and 75c,
Sale opens on Saturday..

F. Kleoker was out from
Alsea yesterday. He had with
him the skin of one of the cou
gars killed recently by himself
and Dick Zahn. The animal
measured 6l2 feet from tip to
tip. The oougars were after
Dick's goats, and had not Mr.
Klecker discovered them just
when he did, they would have
wrought havoc with those ani
mals. One of the cougars had
two claws missing from the
front foot, and as Dick found
two claws in his trap something
over a year ago, it is believed
that) this was the gentleman that
lost them.
