were personally acquainted, they
talked in their usual chaffing way.
Nannie was at the keyboard and
Ollie was in the booth. Ollie said
to Mr. Butler, "The kid,'' meaning
Nannie, 'is eating arsenic." But
ler asked, "What is she doing that
for?" "Oh. we don't want to live

good-bye, then." Nannie turned
the switch and cut out th booth,
when she answered, "Good-bye."
She then cut in the booth again,
when the giris continued chatting
in the usual glad humor. Mr. But
ler had not the least snspicion that
he was listening to the recital of a
tragedy.

For the benefit of those appli
cants who expect to take the ex
amination fer a primary certifi
cate at the February examina
tion, a recent ruling of the state
superintendent has been made to
the effect that in the examina
tion of arithmetic a separate list
of questions will be prepared and
headed "Arithmetic." In this
subject such questions will fee
asked as the state board may
deem essential for applicants tak
ing this examination. They
will cover such subjects on arith
metic as in the judgment of the
State Board of Education all
teachers should be faailiar with
in order to do fair werk ia arithmetic.
S. P. Kashreret, who is acting as

mian families now located in Ne

to examine the Deschutes Valley
with reference to its availability as
homes for the people ue represents,
says the Oregoman. This will be
no socialist community. The people
will hold their property in several
ty, and each manage his holdings
as he pleases and take the reward
of his own industry. But they are
people of congenial tastes and, more
over, they are frugal and industri
ous. By having their own country
men as neighbors and co-workers
they expect to find life in the new
country pleasanter than it would be
among strangers, however well dis
posed they might be. It is estima
ted that there are about 1000 per
sons in the colony looking for a
home in the valley of the Des
chutes. They will probably move
i West before the end of this year.
Died Sttddenly.
The announcement yesterday
morning of the death of S. A.
Hemphill came as a surprise and
a shock , to this community.
Even the tew who were aware
that he had been suffering from
a slight attack of grip since Tues
day of last week, were : unpre
pared for this sorrowful informa
tion. Mr. Hemphill was in his
harness shop for the last time
Thursday, , but he was not con
fined to his bed. Sunday, his
condition seemed considerably
improved, and when his .wife
arose Monday morning her hus
band seemed in good spirits.
About twenty minutes before six
clock Mxs. Hemphill - was in
another room, and heard her hus
band gasp and when she reached
his side he was dead. Heart
disease is believed to have been
the cause of death.
Samuel Anderson Hemphill
was born m Indiana coanty,
Pennsylvania, April 28th, 18-50.
At an early age he moved to In- J
diana, where he was married to
Miss Mary Gordon. At the
opening ot the Civil War he in
listed in company G, 4th Indiana
cavalry and served , . through the
Vicksburg andiRed River cam
paigns. He look ;,part in the
Wilson raid which- resulted in
the capture of Jefferson Davis at
Macon, Georgia.
At the close of the war he re
turned to Indiana and re-engaged
in the harness business, iln 1876
he came to Corvallis and entered
the employ of W. A. Wells who
was tnen conducting a harness
shop in this citv. Some months
ater he was joined by his family
Finally he pened a harnesss
shop of his own, and continued
in the business until the day ot
his death. The first of this
month he took in his son as a
partner. '
Mr.' Hemphill 'was the father
of three children, but his wife
and son, Mack, alone survive
him.
The funeral will occur to
morrow Wednesday afternoon at2
clock from the family resi
dence. Dr. ht. J. inompson
will officiate and the services
will be under the auspices of the
Odd Fellows, of which order Mr.
Hemphill became a member in
May, 1851. Iaterment will be
made in Crystal Eake cemetery.
Mr. Hemphill was one of Cor
vallis' most substantial and high
ly respected citizens. Although
courteous to all, : he, was no wise
familiar, but maintained a re
serve which gained the esteem of
all who met him. His intimate
associates knew him as a congen
ial, accomodating companion;
his family' as a kind and indul
gent husband and father. , Such
men are all too scarce in any
community.

Registration of Voters.
The voters ot Benton county
are not registering as rapidly as
they should. It seems from
what can be learned that in
other counties the voters are
equally negligent of this duty.
Up to Friday evening the regis
tration in the various precincts
was as follows:
Corvallis No. 1, 26; Corvallis
No 2, 39; Corvallis No 3, 21;
Corvallis No 4, 5; Fairmount, 5;
Soap Creek, 3; Kings Valley, 7;
Summit, 16; Blodgett, 1; Wren,
5; Philomath, 6: Willamette, 8;
Alsea, 7. Bellfountain, 2 ; Mon
roe. 7. This makes a total of
159. From now on voters will
have to come to the - front at a
lively rate in order to have their
names on the books when the
time is up.
Clerk waters is sending out
blanks to all notaries public and
justices of the peace who apply
for them. So far blanks have
beea forwarded to the nota
ry public of Blodgett, and the
various justices of Philo : ath,
Kings Valley, Summit and Mon
roe. The average voter who
has an application blank for reg
istration filled out by a justice
of the peace or notary, public of
his precinct is apt to infer that
everything in his case is settled
and all that he has to do is to
vote on election day. In this he
may avoid trouble by taking
pains" to find out that his appli
cation has reached the clerk. In
whatever precinct a man is reg
istered there he must vte. He
can, if he intends changing his
residence from one precinct to
another before election day, de
lay registering as late as the 15th
of May.
At the last session ot the leg
islature a new law was passed in
regard to the collection of taxes.
which law took effect on Dec. 1
1 90 1, and its substance is a:
follows:
1 if you pay ,your taxes on or
before March 15 you will be allow
ed a rebate of 3 per cent.
2 If you pay your taxes between
March loth and up to and includ
ing the first Monday in April, there
will not be any rebate and neither
will there be any penalty or inter
est added.
S If your taxes are not paid
on or before the first Monday of
April, they will become delinquent,
when there will be added a penalty
of 10 per cent, and the tax will al
so draw interest at the rate of 12
per cent per annum in addition to
the penalty.
4 If you pay one-half of your
taxes on or before the first Monday
in April, then the remaining half
may run up to and including the
first Monday in October following;
but if the last half of tax due is not
paid by the firt Monday of October
it becomes delinquent, and there
will be added to such balance, a
penalty ot 10 per cent, and in ad
dition, puch balance will bear in
terest at the rate of 12 per cent pei
annum trom trie first Monday m
April until paid.
5 On all personal property tax
es, 11 one-halt is not paid on or be
fore the first Monday in April, the
law compels the sheriff to levy up
on and collect the same after May
1st, hence to prevent a levy upon
personal property after May 1st it
will be necessary for one halt to be
paid as above stated.
6 The law compels the sheriff to
sell all lands on which taxes have
not been paid, and ttiat such sales
shall not be held later than March
1st of the year in which the tax
levy is made.
7 The property will be sold to
the person bidding the lowest rate
of interest, and certificates will be
issued therefor, and deeds given to
such property sold, unless redeem
ed within three years from the date
of such sale.

Two sons of Walter Yates had
an exciting ride Sunday after
noon. They had been attend
ing church at Oakville, and were
returning home. When they
reached the Henry Stone corner,
a dog ran oat and frightened the
mare they were driving. The
lines broke and she dashed down
the road. The boys kept their
seats. After a run of some
thing more than a mile, the mare
made a short turn as she took
the road to Owl Creek. One of
the wheels struck a stump and
was broken, letting the axle fall
to the ground. This slackened
the mare's speed considerably
and one of the boys jumped out
and secured the broken lines,
bringing her to a standstill.
Aside from a liberal coating of
mud neither of the occupants of
the buggy were any the worse
for their ride.
