The special session of congress called to consider the Cuban reci procity treaty," met on Tuesday, November io, and notified the President that it was ready for business. President Roosevelt immediately sent his message which was read in both houses, and referred to the proper com mittees, after which both bodies adjourned. The message is a plain, straightforward presenta tion of the situation, and as such met the approval of the republi can members, who received it with applause. The treaty will, no doubt, be soon approved. Governor Chamberlain is mak ing a grand stand play in de manding pledges of the legisla tors before calling a special ses sion to remedy the deficiencies of the tax law. The legislature is the governing body and it is the business of the governor to exe cute the laws they pass. He is starting in early to make politi cal capital for the next guberna torial election. Perhaps his greatest fear is that some of his own pet measures may be inter fered with-. It maybe that the portage railroad is the nigger in the woodpile. Eh, George? ejt A dispatch from Portland says that several elders from Zion City, Illinois, who have seceded from the fold of "Elijah the Sec ond," are in that city and ex pect to buy land in Willamette Valley, for the purpose of estab lishing a Zionist colony. They expect to bring about 150 fami lies, to start their new settlement in this state. It is said that they have deposited a large sum of money in Portland banks, and that the exodus from Zion will take place in time to be ready for the spring work of 1904. That thescpeople have chosen Oregon as a permanent place of residence argues a higher grade of intelli gence than could naturally be expected to come but of Zion City. Perhaps it would be well to encourage them, in hopes that our climate may complete the cure. Then, if luck would only strike us again, and we could work off our Holy Rollers on them, our happiness would be complete. 4 The new Republic of Panama seems to be an established fact. The politicians are satisfied, as the new state government will make offices enough to go round, the people are satisfied, as the canal will now be built, and good times will prevail on the Isthmus. The United States is satisfied, as they can now con elude the treaty without meeting the extortionate demands of the Bogota government. The Col ombian government is the only one not satisfied as they will now have to hustle to pay the debts they expected to pay with the twenty millions irom uncle bam. The new state has been recogniz ed by theTJnited States and some of the European powers, and there is little danger of any at tack on them by the Bogota gov ernment as the United States is Douna to protect tne passage across the Isthmus. So as nearly everybody is happy till the canal people take it into their head to annex the state of Panama, let . us leave them to the enjoyment 01 their new made honors. A rather malodorous state of affairs has developed in the state of Wyoming caused by the arrest and conviction of one Tom Horn indicted for murder - in Iron county, and sentenced to be hung on the 20th of this month. Nu merous petitions have been pre sented to have the sentence com muted to life imprisonment. The trouble seems to be that he has many friends who are afraid that if he is to hang, he will make confessions implicating thein in many cold-blooded mur ders that he has committed.. It is said by men known to be re liable that Horn was the hired assassin of large cattle corpora tions to murder settlers on gov ernment land and that at least a core of secret assassinations have i been committed by him. That the vast , cattle syndicates hired murderers there can bt no doubt nmi that scores of murders of set tlers or small men on the range was du? to the enmity of the cat tie barons was a well established fact. These tacts seem to be well kuown and authenticated.' Our neighbor of the Roseburg Plauidealer pronounces .Horn a hired assassin. " It is now up to the state government to proceed with the hanging of Mr. Tom Horn, but before that little act 6f justice is completed to obtain from him the necessary . confes sion that will cause the convic tion of the ringleaders, the men who caused the murders to be committed. Then it more hang ings do not follow foul shame will rest upon the reputation of the state ot Wyoming. PROFESSIONAL. & A. CATHEY, M. D Physician Surgeon Rooms 14 in Bank Building.

The proposition for lighting the streets of Corvallis, which has been pending before the city council for several weeks, came up tor action on Monday evening of this week. The bill had pass ed its second reading, and the committee were ready to report, when unexpectedly a proposition i was submitted by B. F. Jones, as agent or attorney for some out side company. This offer was considerably lower than the local company's bid. In order to give the proposition the necessary consideration, an adjourned meeting was. ordered fjor Tuesday evening. At this meeting the bid of the new com pany was presented, and the local company was asked if they would meet the terms. ..Mr. Porter, act ing for the local company, pre sented a new schedule, which the committee received. . This being the lowest bidy was accepted by the committee, incorporated into the original contract, and the ordinance, as amended, was then passed unanimously by the coun cil. It is understood that the new company, which is said on the street to be the Albany Elec tric Light Company, was then anxious to put in a still lower bid. This proposition, his honor, the mayor, endeavored to bring to the attention of the council, but that body, considering . the matter already closed, declined to accept.. The ordinance, as passed,- now awaits the signature or .the veto of the mayor. . .. UNHEALTHY KIDNEYS C. H. NEWTH Physician 8? Surgeon Examining surgeon U. S.Pension Bureau PHILOMATH OREGON. E. R.
