FROM HARRY KOLUUE.
Soico Items of Interest, Political and So
cial, at tho National Capital. '
Editor " Gaz'ett.f.: The "sec
ond inauguration- of President
McKinley was accompanied by
such display and festivities as
was becoming this prosperous
era. Thers was General Miles
in his new uniform, and many
other features too numerous to
mention. The parade was a
three hour affair, largely military;
and contained several attractions,
such as the West Point cadets,
and the boys' from' Annapolis,
and a battalion of American
troops composed of,; native Porto
Ricaus. : The ' weather fellow
used his best endeavors to "spoil
things, but the inauguration as
a whole was said by those who
have seen former' ones, to have
been a success,
Whatever may be the idea at
home, it Is the unanimous opin
ion of all the newspapers of all
kinds of polities, that 'the re
turn of Senator Mitchell to the
national congress was a splendid
solution of the apparent Oregon
dead-lock. While the senator.
in theory, will come into the
senate as a new member,' yet he
stands so well with his old asso
ciates that he is certain to ob
tain such committee assignments
as he may desire. It was
rumored here that toward the
close of the Oregon legislative
session a number of the older
senators of both parties prevailed
upon Senator Tones, chairman of
the national democratic commit
tee to telegraph the Oregon dem
ocratic legislators, urging theni
to vote for Mitchell. I do not
know how true this story is, but
even the rumor will illustrate
the strength of Oregon's new
senator.
While there is rejoicing; over
the reappearance of Senator
Mitchell, there is really regret at
the departure of Senator Mc
Bride, who has won the warm
regard of the influential senators
and proved Himself a very capa
ble and useful, member of the
upper house. Much that the
senator has done for Oregon will
never ba known, and will never
be appreciated at home. His at
titude ia several matters has not
pleased the Oregonian, and most
of the news the Oregon people
get from the national capital
comes to them colored by the
state's only newspaper. : The
president's appreciation for Sen
ator McBride's work in uphold
ing and Carrying out the policies
of the administration is shown in
the prompt and unsolicited ap
pointment of the senator as com
missioner of the St Xouis expo
sition, a position which carries a
salary of $5,000 a year, for three
years.
Senator Simon and Represen
tative Moody are more, fortunate
than their colleagues, in one re
spect: Mr. Dunn, Oregon's spec
ial correspondent, has " as one of
his duties a special chronologing
of the work and doings of Sena
tor Simon. Since? his work is
reviewed- from a friendly stand
point, the senator is . free from
any anxiety that the people at
home will not fee Informed as to
what he is accomplishing-. Mr.
Moody's private secretary, Mr.
Brown, is Mr. Dunn's assistant,
and really does most ' 01 the
special correspondence for the
Oregonian.
Whatever the political antago
nism of the past, it is very proba
ble that the Oregon delegation
will work very harmoniously, so
far, at least, as concerns legisla
tioa for the state. Patronage
questions also will, doubtless, be
ttled without mush clashing.
The engagement of E. S. Wil
lard, the English actor, was the
artistic success of Washington
this season. .. Miss Maud Hoff
man, Mr. Willard's leading lady,
shared in the honors of . the star,
She is one of the most artistic
and natural actresses, and one of
the handsomest women on the
stage today. Miss Heffman does
not expect to star for at least two
more seasons. She was taken
sick in Washington, and re
mained here a week after her
company left, joining her troape
at Pittsburg.
Puuiukin pie in Washington
is not pumpkin pie. It is made
of sweet potatoes, but it tastes
like the genuine article. I ate a
sweet potato pudding the other
day. It paraded under its own
name, but from its taste might
have been called a cocoanut pud
ding. -Grated sweet potatoes
were used.
The river and harbor bill died

Carter. ; His; reasons .'art';" not
fully knows, but it is generally
believed, tfiats the defeat -of the
subsidy lull -was -no small factor
in the decision of- those who re
solved to put the $50,000,000
harbor bill on the shelf. Mr.
Carter has been upheld by some
for his attitude, for the defeated
bill, it is declared, contained
many provisions which were
rather salty. It seems a dangerous-
thing to give one man, un
less he have the responsibility of
the president . himself, the power
to defeat legislation desired, by
both .. houses, and it is hardly
creditable for a senator "to take
advantage of that power unless
something far more dangerous
and harmful than the river and
.harbor bill is at stake.
Mrs. John Pipes will return to
Oregon soon, the climate 0f

position here until fall, at least.

It Looked Dangerous.
Harvey Sargeanfc is the busi
ness end of an enterprise in this
city of which few of our citizens
have any knowledge. He walked
into the Gazette office Wednes
day with a weapon "which looked
like an infernal maohine. Mr.
Sargeant explained that it would
kill anything, and it looked it.
The instrument was primarily
designed to exterminate gophers,
but it is mora formidable than at
first intended. It, consists of a
piece of. gas pipe about eight
inches long and the size of a
No. is shotgun shell. ; This
screws into an ordinary loint of
pipe filled with babbet, a hole
being left through which a nail,
acting as a firing pin, may oper
ate, ifie whole is firmly
fastened to a heavy board about
8 "by ia inches. A trigger has
two attachments, one which re
quires a push to release it, and
another which operates with a
pull. An ordinary No. 12 shot
gun shell is used, and the wea
pon will : kill anything that a
shotgun of this . caliber will kill
at a short range.
There is-little danger of acci
dent, as tile machine is harmless
when , the filing, pin is out and
this is, the last thing put in place,
nd the first thing withdrawn.
Mr. Sargeant has his vyorkshop
on Main street . near Marshall
Miller's store. He has made
over 400 of these machines this
winter. The 'invention is his
own, and considering the value
of the weapon ia exterminating
gophers or larger pests like. coy
otes, etc;, he price of $1.50,
which .he'- asks.-is 4lmo'st noth-
No Trace of Laskey's Body.
Up to the present time no trace
has been found of the body of Al
Laskey, who was drowned Monday
night about a o'clock m attempting
to swim the Willamette near tha
ferry landing, while under the in
fluence of liguor. Tuesday morn
ing his hat was picked Jup a short
distance below the place where he
was last seen, but nothing further
has been discovered.
Laskey, who was a man about 23
years of age, came to Corvallis Mon
day from . Siuslaw, where with a
brother he had been employed for
some time. He was well in his
cups when he appeared at the ferry
as it was . pulling out for the eaBt
shore. He jumped upon the apion
of the boat, and after standing
there a few moments leaped into
the stream. Mr. Blumhart imme
diately returned to the west bank
and summoning help started in a
skiff to search for the swimmer,
but he had sank. Laskey was
mentally unballanced, and spent
some time in the state insane
asylum.
"Galley Slave" Tonight.
The Coolev Gompanv will pro

normal school and Seaside lecture
course this season. . State . Super
in ten dest. Ackerman, of Salem,
and several other prominent edu
cators have iust returned v from
Newport and announce., that the
prospects for a iarge attendance
ot teachers at the vgreat seaside
auditorium is most flattering, and
that the best instructors' to be.had
will be timely secured. There
will be, 1st, a teachers' review
course; 2nd, a general scientific,
literary and art course; 3rd,
round table instruction; 4th, sea
side attractions; a course of ten
popular evening lectures. Super
tendents Denman and Bethers
have already signified a deter
mination to take hold of the great
educational symposium at this
celebrated' watering place, and
encouraging letters are coming in
from all parts of the state. ..
: The County School Superin
tendent of Linn" will hold the
annual institute at Newport and
during the term of the Summer
School, and will hold his exam
inations there, thus giving teach
.ers from every portion of the
state an Opportunity to take their
examination there without being
compelled to return home . before
the close of the vacation season.
Efforts will also be made to per-r
feet satisfactory arrangements for
county ;- certificates from othet
comities. - This arrangement will
be appreciated by the teachers
throughout the state as giving
them advantages hitherto impos
sible.
The popular course of ten lec
tures will offer attraction and edi
fication to the great mass of visit
ors who will naturally assemble
at Newport during this season of
the year. It is believed that so
large a number will be present
that the season tickets to the lec
ture coures can be sold at $ 1
each. Special opportunities and
inducemeuts will be offered to
such persons as signify an inten
tion to attend the normal school
and lectures. Tenting facilities
will be afforded Visitors, ladies as
well as gentlemen, where they
will be under the protection and
influence of .refined families.
Special rates will be offered those
who hold season tickets ; and . as
the Statesman says'. "Everything
will be done to make Newport
the Mecca of the teachers of Ore
gon during the summer months
of 1 90 1.'
Two More Nights.
It is unfortunate for Mr. Cooley
and the capable company of players
he has gathered about him, that
they should appear in Corvallis at
a time when examinations at the
college prevent students from en
couraging them with their patron
age. JNor is the loss .all Mr.
Cooley 's, for the lessoas taught in
such an excellent play as "Lost
Paradise," are more impressive
than those learned from books.
No more vivid picturing of the
great Btruggle between capital and
labor can be imagined than the
portrayal in this drama, and the
Cooley company present it admire
ably.
'The Black Flag" failed to draw
as well as it deserved, partially be
cause it was produced here not long
ago.
"The Butterflies," Wednesday
night's bill was made popular by
John Drew, soon after he went a
EtarriBg. It has been pronounced
a good play by the public and the
critics, but it takes a Drew to make
it a success.
This company is really deserving
of liberal patronage. The perform
ers are capable; their repertoire is
excellent; costuming and make-up
are- appropriate, and a pleasiug
feature is the attractive stage set
ting arranged for each performance.

Three Questions.
Before purchasing a piano or organ
there are a few questions it is well to
consider. First : Is the instrument mada
to use or simply to sell ? Second : Is
the the tone, action and finish first class?
Third: Is the price reasonable? Cheap
I instruments are expensive at any price.
Why.' .Because they nover give;satis
faction, being constructed of the cheap
est material hastily thrown together.
To secure the value of your money thorn
is one certain way. Buy an instrument
which has not only an established repm-
tation for years, but which has kept up'
with every improvement of rusderni
times. If yon then would like such an
instrument with a ton, actioa and fin
ish unsurpassed, I have them, and can
furnish you any at tb lowest price.
