C. ladies drove out to the rer idence of Mr. and Mrs W. Leadbelter, west of Corvallis, and passed a very pleasant time. The affair was in the nature ef a surprise to Mrs. Leadbetter, it be ing her birthday. The visiting ladies took refreshments with them and the recipient of the surprise was relieved of all responsibility. Conrad Sandstrom, the baker for the establishment of H. W. Hall, received a message, Friday noon, calling him immediately to Port land on account of the serious ill ness of his wife. The message stated that she was in a dying con dition, but the cause of her illness was not learned. Mr. Sanstroin had just barely time to catch the West Side train to Portland on that day. Albany has just got out of a vil lage custom. It is somewhat startling to read an official notice from the chief of police in the Al bany papers that hereafter throw ing of baseballs on the principal streets will no longer -be tolerated. We wonder if the Albany business men also play marbles and pitch horseshoes to while away the time when customers are lacking? Any employment is better than idleness. Eugene Guard. Thos. Bell, of the Charter Oak Milling company, came up from Soap Creek last Friday. He statts . that the company's mill is doing ex ceedingly good work, and is capa ble of cutting about 7,000 feet Der day, also that they have an excel lent local market, and that inquiries are ceming in from abroad relative to the possibility of the company filling orders for outside markets.

Ervin, the tioliee officer who disappeared after borrowing money from his brother officers, is still a member of the force. No action has been taken in his case by the commissioners and the chief has not even suspended him. This de lay was taken in order that the man might come back and explain matters, but as all hopes of his do ing so have vanished the commis sioners will . probably declare1 his position vacant at the next meriting of the board. Telegram. W. H. Franklin returned home Saturday from up on Greasy. He furnished Prickett Bros. & Logan's mill with considerable fixings, etc., and was out there putting the machinery in order. This is a water-power mill and was at one time known as the John Huffman mill. The waterwheel has been en larged so that there is a greater power, but practically the same sawing gear has been retained With a good head of water the mill is capable of cutting 20,000 feet per day. An industry of this nature deserves encouragement, as it is in every sense a heme industry. The following from the Albany Democrat goes to prove that two legs are not altogether necessary for a man to get. uproarously drunk on Two one legged men, who had previously been driven out of the city, returned to Albany last night, and about 9:30 o'clock, after being thoroughly ginned up, with three other tramps proceeded to take the depot, or rather one of the one legged men did. But he didn't take. Elton Gonnoway made a home run all over him, and he was held there by three of the em ployes, while the chief of police was sent fad - Mr. Coates handcuffed the man and he and the other one legged man, who claims to be his uncle, were put in the calaboose, and the next morning Recorder Van Winkle gave them ten days in the calaboose on a diet of 'bread and water.

After an . illness of many months, Miss Lulu Beryl Daniel died, Saturday evening, May n, 1901, aged 19 years, 7 months and 28 davs. She was a victim of the most dread of all diseases. consumption. The funeral ser vices will take place at the United Evangelical church, at noon today, and will be conduct ed by Rev. L. M. Boozer.

Miss Daniel was born in Sep tember, 1 88 1, in Yamhill coun ty, Oregon, and lived there tmtil 1892, at wnieh time she went to Southern Oregon with the family. Here she remained until the win ter f 1897-8, at which time she came t this and remained sev eral months, keeping house for her brother, who was going to college here, aad studying music nnder Mies Nash. Ia 1898 her health began to fail and she was sent to Santa Rosa, Calif. After residing a brief period there she returned to her Borne in Southern Oregon. and remained until the spring of 1 899. She was never of a ro- bnst constitution and daring the past fall and winter she began to fail. Miss Daniel was a member of the United Evangelical church ef this eity, and was a most de- vont and earnest supporter of Christianity in its broadest sense. AlthoHgh aware that her Jimejm earth was Hearing a close,' she was resigned and patient to the last. She leaves a host of rela tives and friends behind who keenly feel her loss, and mourn that one so gifted and estimable should be taken from earth when life was jast reaching full bloom. Of her immediate family, a mother, sister, and two brothers survive her. Meets Here Next Year. Thanks tothe earnest and effective efforts of Mr. WallirNash, Corvallis will be the place of meeting of the Willam ette Valley Choral Union next May. So able an advocate did Mr. Nash prove for Corvallis' claims to the next meeting, that this city received almost the unani mous vote of-the union. No city in the vallsy has so excellent a place to present the oratorios as the O A C armory; the citizens of no city in the state will give more cordial support to' the enterprize; a number of cities on the West Side will be in apposition to assist-forthe -firet time ; the college will take a leading part and famish a chorus of at least 75 voices, and best of all, Mr. ' Wallis Nash has agreed to assume the direction of the local organization. This is to be made the most successful meeting of the union, and that is saying a great deal, for the one just closed at Albany set a high mark both in an ar tistic and financial way. The program for the festival next May has been selected. The first evening will be given over to a popular concert, when an orchestra, composed of 30 of the best musicians in the state, who have never been heard in v!ley towns, will be the principal feature. Tthe sec ond evening Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise," and Goring Thomas' "Swan and the Skylark" will be the bill, and the closing night gHaendel's "Messiah" ill be produced. At the business meeting held in Al bany, Saturday afternoon the following officers were elected: President, Hon. Wallis Nash ; vice-presidents, Bert Johnson, Corvallis, Prof. E. D. Eessler, Eugene, Prof. Francisco Seeley, Salem, C. E. Sox, Albany ; secretary, Prof. John Fulton, Corvallis. The matter of choral societies" from other towns joining the choral union was left with the executive committee. Pamphlet on Plants. The government has just pub lished a preliminary repprt on the poisonous plants of the stock ranges of Hontana'and adjacent states, a report of mueh value to cattle and sheep raisers. The report is edited by V. K. Chest nut and E. V. Wilcox, of the United States Department of Agriculture, and contains not only a detailed account of the investigation and experiments made by the aathors, but also concise summaries of symptoms, treatment and remedies, which bring the results f the discov eries to the point of practical application by stackowners. By reason of the fact that enly 1,000 copies were authorized to be printed as, a first edition, the department, realizing the worth of the book or bulletin, has rec ommended that an extra edition, of at least 5,000 copies be printed and distribated among the peo ple who can profit by it. - The report refers ohiefly to investiga tions made daring the year 1900, but investigations made through out the eastern part of Oregon and Washington show that con ditions existing in Montana ate' much similar to these of the former states. The report is illustrated with. 40 excellent half tone productions of poisonous plants. This work will likely prove interesting and instructive to onr stockraisers who awaiting for the aooearance of the bulle tin which will contain the re sult of the research and investi gations recently made in Eastern and Central Oregon by Profs. V. K. Chestnut and E. R. Lake. Died in Manila. A cablegram to his sister last Thursday, announced the death of Harry Roeeers in Manila. Philippine Islands, Wednesday, of dysentery.

A recent letter stated that he intended visiting this citv this fall. Harry Roeeers was born in Al bany, Oregon, December 20, 1868.

Many"a student of the O AC is looking forward with dread to ! next Saturday, Sanday and Mon day. The cadets leave Saturday for the scene of the second annual encampment, near Cardwell hill, on the Kings valley road. For three days they will live like "real soldiers," and to many of the beys the prospect is not enticing. The return to Corvallis will be made on Monday. There was quite a breeze of ex. citement in the south part of town Sunday afternoon. A two-year-old lad, wearing a huge derby hat, played along the walk. Whom he was or from whence he came, none knew. Residents of the vicinity finally became uneasy, and think ing the child a waif, Alfred . John son made inquiry at the telephone office. Mrs . Charlie Chipman ap peared at this point, and the tot was restored to its rightful keeper. John Clark was "brought before Justice Holgate yesterday morn ing on a charge of embezzlement, pleaded guilty and was given 10 days in jail. Clark has been em ployed by the Harris brothers at Soap Creek for the past five years. He came to town last Friday and was given a cbeck for $20 to cash for one of the Harris boys. He received the money and took the train for parts unknown. A warrant for his arrest was placed in the hands of Sheriff Burnett, Saturday afternoon at 4:30. He immediately wired to all nearby towns. In a few minutes a mes sage from Constable Wagner of Cottage Grove stated that Clark had been captured in that city. Clark has borne a good reputa tion, and his recent transgression is said to have occurred while he was nnder the influence of liquor. For Chief of Police.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mother and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce and they seldom heard of appendicitis-, nervous prostration or heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to cleanse out the system and stop fermentation of undi gested food, regulate the action of tho liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter With you. Get Green's Prize Alma nac. Graham & Wortham. You will waste time if yon undertake to cure indigestion or dyspepsia by starv ing yourself. That only makes it worse when you do eat heartily. You always need plenty ot good food properly diges ted.
