THE CQBVAILIS GAZETTE. TUESDAY, AUGUSf 5, 1002. PURELY SENTIMENTAL. In all lhat has been said in fa vor of giving Mrs. V3gg0p.er the $1500, offered for the "capture and return" of the body of David Merrill dead or alive, we have failed to find one sentence show ing the justice of such a proceed ing. Sentiment has been run ning riot among the papers of the state, and the argument we hear is, "Don't be stingy; let the women have the reward." But that is not the point. There is a principle involved in this matter, and a precedent to be es tablished. Tustice and reason demand that Mrs. Waggoner shall be rewaidcd for the service she has done the state, rot in ridding it of the wild animal, Merrill Tracy did that but for the benefit that will accrue from a knowledge that Merrill is dead. Let the authorities of the state decide what compensation is due Mrs. Waggoner for this service. An exigency has arisen which was not contemplated when the original reward was of fered. Provision can be made for meeting it, without yielding to sentiment or cheating justice. Supt. Lee has been severely criticized, because he did not meet Mrs. Waeeoner at the depot when she arrived in Sa lem and pour the $1500 into her apron. But it is probable lhat Mr. Lee remembered that the money belonged to the people of Oregon, and that he had the right to spend it, only when the terms of the contract had been complied with. Mrs. Waggoner had made no effort to capture the convict. She simply met one of the con ditions named in the offer of re ward: She returned the body. Half of the reward, $750, is cer tainly all she should ask for, Had the finder of Merrill's body been a man, strong and able- bodied, we venture the assertion that there wouldn't have been one voice raised in favor of giv ing him the full reward. But oddly enough, Mrs. Waggoner is a woman, and it was given out at first that she was poor and widow. Then sentiment laid hold of the editorial pen, and columns have been written on "Pay the Widow," "Poor Mrs Waggoner," "She Needs the Money," and kindred themes, .uet us lose signt or tne sex and financial condition of the finder of Merrill's Irody, and remuner- ate that person in accordance with the service rendered. Coach Herbold Confident. Football will be revived at the Oregon Agricultural College again this year, and the students of that institution expect to turn out a championship eleven, says Monday's Oregonian. Two ytars ago the regents of the Ag ricultural College decided to abolish all inter -collegiate ath letic contests, as far as the Cor vallis school was concerned. This experiment was tried for one year, and found to be unwholesome so last season a team was put in the field, and efforts made to, re vive the sport. iast season s eleven was a weak one, victories being few and far between , but this year the Oregon Agricultural College expects to do great things on the gridiron, and other teams through out the Northwest will have to look to their laurels, or the "farmers" will walk away with the championship. Fred D, Herbold, of Eugene, will coach the Agricultural College team this year, and he is most enthu siastic over the prospects for a victorious aggregation. Mr. Herbold is in Portland, and said yesterday : "The Oregon Agricultural .College will have the champion ship football team of the Pacific Northwest this year. Besides last season's men, the team will contain "Pap" Hayseed (McAl- lster), Walter McBnde and a number of old-time football stars, all of whom will strengthen the team. Games will be played with all the colleges and univer sities of the Northwest, and with Multnomah. The team will probably go to California, as the Corvallis boys think they are ca pable of playing Stanford and Berkeley. It is quite likely that games will be played with the University of Oregon, as well as the University of Washington and Whitman College. In short, the Agricultural College will have the best team in the North west, and ought to win the cham pionship over all comers." A Thrill Ins Experience. The Gazette is in receipt of a marked copy of the Brimfield, (Illinois) News, containing an ac count of a recent experience of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Moore, who left Corvalllis some weeks ago to visit their old Illinois home: "Mr. ami Mr?. Jas. II. Moore had a thrilling expeiience last Thursday evening which they do not care to repeat. They were visiting at Mr. Connell's near Trivoli and were sitting ia a room chatting with members of the family when a thunderstorm came up and the house was struck by lightning. The lights were extinguished by the shock and several of the company were knocked from their chairs to the floor, but fortunately no ont was seriously injured. Mr. Moore says thunder and lightning are almost unknown in his Oregon home atd their friends admon ished them when they left home to be careful and not get killed in the Illinois storms. He thinks their advice good now and says he doesn' t relish the idea of travel -ing a couple of thousand miles to visit the old home and then have the lightning make a target of him. Hereafter when a storm comes up he will make for the cyclone cellar or crawl under the bed." Much Interest Taken. A correspondent to the Home stead givesWiilamette Grange the following mention, which shows that the work of the grange holds the interest of the farmers of that section : Willamette Grange No. 52, Benton county, Oregon, met at its hall on July 12th. We have changed our regular time of meeting from the first Thursday to the second Saturday as many of our families had children old enough to join the Grange who were at school. The change has been a success though " it makes the Sunday morning's work heavy for .the house-mother one Sunday in each month. None will complain at that, however, so lone as it is so great a benefit to the order and to the children we are bringing up in it, to take our places by and by. We have a live, active Grange now. Con ferred the first and second de grees on a voung : man and his new wife. Of course the hay fields drew many away but we had a good attendance and a good meeting. It has been our custom for vears to close our Grange during August and Sep tember, but this year our Master says the sisters can and will run those meetings alone. If any o: tne brothers can come they are promiseTa welcome but no man will be asked to speak, read, or sing, as that will belong to tne sisters for those meetings. Be ig a woman, our Master has sublime faith in the sex rising t o any occasion no matter wna comes up in the Grange work A i:ood lioI:lnr ' :(lS(lti:iit lKKir look ing h:;riiutifl irt the (i r- t fciml F fL nun. billiltlOll. i'g'j Eureka Harness Oil horse lock better, but makes the IP If atUer soft and pliable, puts It in con- I uitioa to last twice as i . ordinarily would.
