On "the tombstone of a Ken
' trax&y politician is said to be this
epitaph: "Here lie.-Jes-;e James
in fhis the oniv pace for which
lie never apped.'' Oar local
marble workers nnolu. cut the
same on several tonilstouts, leav
- i'og the names blauk to be filled
its when some of onr local poli
ticians pass over the river. It
would save time and be very
appropriate.
A dispatch from Louisville,
Kentucky, giving ?n account of
the windstorm that prevailed
tfaat day over a largre section of
the South, said: "We iegret to
learn that many churches and
distilleries were damaged." If
we could locate exactly which the
correspondent regretted most,' we
would express our sympathy in
an appropriate manner. As it is
we do not know which won'd be
the proper tLiuii to do: offer a
prayer or ta'e a drink.
Orvreral Nelson A. Miles is now
sttc-TDpring to play politics. He
is virtually a condidate for the
presidency, on the democratic
ticket, but when last week the
prohibitionists asked him if he
would accept the nomination on
that ticket he refused to answer
tfee'question, but put it off by ask
Ang that the matter be defeired
until after the republican and
democratic conventions were held .
Evidently the general, if he fails
to get the -democratic uoinka
tka, will accept "any old thing"
that is lying around loose. Rose

W. A. Buchanan was nomina
si for treasurer by acclamation.
So e.r seven nominations had
Seen s&ade and five of them had
jf2eto Corvallis, .and when S.
S-Ewing placed the name of
"Sffeomas .Davis before the couven
Ifoa Sat Assessor, an indignant
delegate announced that "the
north end -of Benton vould like
to hare a little represeutation
mixed Tn with its taxes." He
proposed S&e name of John Har
iris. A, iEL Alexander and Wil
lie JS-ksfcar-d were also nominated,
Bat .each of these gentlemen de
clined. The 'ballot resulted in
63 votes for Davis, 41 for Har
ris and 3 for Alexander.
13. A. Osburn nominated T.
A. Jones, of Corvallis, for sur
veyor and he was chosen by ac
clamation. O. J. Black ledge, of Corvallis,
Msras nominated for coroner by V.
E. Watters- He was placed on
ths ticket by acclamation.
The following delegates, who
are understood to be favorable to
the nomination of Hearst for
president on the democratic
ticket were elected to go to the
state convention : Mat WilLJ m,
Jtobt. Johnson, John Smith, W.
S. McFaddlen, Wade Malone aud
"V. E. Witters.
Ilolatc for justice of peac?,
a& John Wyatt for constable
were the choice of the delegates
of this district. .
Tlie chair announced that it
was now in order to nomiuate a
representative. G. R. Hall's
name was pioposed, but tint gen
tleman declined. The nomina
tion was tjolug begging, and J.
D.Howell magnanimously offered
it to Mr. Harris, who had been
refused the nomination for as
sessor. With a number of other
delegates, Mr. Harris had left
the convention before this order
of basiaie ss was reached. In his
absence a member of his delega
tion, iulormed the chair that Mr.
Harris was a neighbor of the Re
jscbKcan candidate for that office
and he was satisfied Mr. Harris
woakl not oppose Mr. Carter.
Judge McFadden urged that
Harris name be retained and if
feedecKoed the central commit
tee could 11 tie vacancy.
But -3Ir. Harris was not a mis
cellaiieoHS candidate. Iyike Mr.
Bryan be knows what he wants
and is Tiot afraid to say so. Just
as tie-convention was adjourning,
lie cashed into the hall and shout-.
ed, "Gentlemen! I understand
that yon have dominated me for
representative.' -I will not stand
for it. - I positively will not have
it."
There was no denying that Mr.
Harris was angry as he turned on
bis heel and strode out of the
room.
A Profitable Meeting.
One of the most interesting
educational meetings held in our
county occurred in Philomath
last Saturday. The meeting was
greatly hampered by being post
poned twice. , Nevertheless, the
program, the addresses, the liter
ary features have not been excel
led in our county. Superinten
dent Denman deserves unstinted
praise for his tireless and indefat
igable energy in making these
meetings interesting and helpful
to our tchools. In a small coun
ty like Benton where help is lim
ited it is no small undertaking to
hold these educational meetings.
Notwithstanding this. Superin
tendent Denman goes right ahead
making every meeting profitable.
The morning session was held
in Philomath College and the
afternoon session' in College of
Philomath. O." V. White con
ducted the siuging excercise in
the morning and W. T. Wyatt
took charge in the afternoon.
The readings of Mrs. W. A. Rose
braugh, Mrs. I. B. Baldwin,
Misses Abrams, Ethel Weed,
Sadie Crocker, Nellie Luper,
Bessie Thomas, deserve special
praise. The song by Ester Mc
Bride and Ivy Gray was sweetly
done, and Elgin VanBlarican did
well in. his recitation. It is not put
ting it too strong when it is said
that the literary program was the
best rendered in our countv tor a
long time. Ech number or each
person could not do better.
The program began by an in
teresting and inspiring talk on
"Pictures and Ways of Using
Them in the School Room" by
Miss Elva Wheeldon, Prof. I. E.
Caldwell followed in an excellent
talk on "Physical Culture for the
Child." He urged all to see that
our children breathe correctly;
that the improper habit of wrong
breathing often is the germ for
lungtrouble. "Essentials in good
Discipline" was ably and practi
cally handled by S. W. Homes.
Many helpful suggestions were
given for securing a healthy dis
cipline in the school-room. O.
V. White, in discussing "Cigar
ettes and Coming Citizens" said,
that the cigarette habit was the
greatest question confronting the
home; that a very large per cent
of the applicant s for army 'and
navy men are found to be defect
ive on the account of this habit.
Over 210 millions are spent year
ly for tobacco. Pres. L. B. Bald
win made a very strong talk 'on
"How to Become and. Remain a
Successful Teacher. ' ' To succeed
he thought there should be, 1,
fitness, 2, physical endurance, 3,
mental capacity, 4, right motive,
5, preparation, 6, a training.
Prof. Tartar read an excellent
paper, which sparkled with prac
tical suggestions on "Art of Ques
tions." Every teacher in the
country should have heard it.
"The Teacher as a Social, Moral
and Religious Factor" was pre
sented in a finely prepared paper
by Rev. F. A. Jones. He con
tended that the teacher should
exert his influence at all times
for the betterment of his' district;
a chilly intellectual influence will
never win. Rev. Emerick's ad
dress on "Home Amusements for
our Boys and Girls, Why and
What" was enjoyed by all. He
gave our parents some practical
ways of reaching our children.
Miss Lulu Evans asked that her
subject be dispensed with, and
the former subject be discussed.
During the day the following par
ticipated in the discussions, Rev.
Brown, Rev Croaks, C. G.
Springer, Supt. Denman, beside
tdose regularly on program.

Money Due Veterans.
'Uncle Sam" Handsaker, of
Eugene, a veteran of 1855-64
sends 11s the following article
which may be of interest Indian
War Veterans: ' .. " ; -
"In order that T may accom
plish "the greatest good , to" the
greatest number" of Indian War
Veterans, their widows, or in case
of the death of these, their heirs
I will ask any and every person
who can do so to give me the
name not only of the living vet
erans, or widows, - but all who
may have died since the close of
the Rogue River War in 1856.
To these who may consider this
a strange request, I will explain
by saying, that I have no doubt
that the list of 635 names of vet
erans who have money due them,
and of which I wrote you some
time since, contains the names of
many veterans who have passed
away and the money is with the
auditor of the treasury awaiting
owner. I could recite a number
of cases of this kind where I have
humed up the owners who did
not know of the surprise in store
for them. When possible to do
so, give the name. of the captain
of the company, but if this can
not be done, send the veteran's
proper, name, and I wUl search
the records which I have and will
report. Please enclose stamp for
reply. To any who haven' t ob
tained their- pension or pay due
them from the state, I will say
that I am still '-'working for noth
ing and boarding myself" in my
efforts to do good. I have made
this letter brief and kindly ask
all publishers who see it to copy
it for the reasons given above."
Homer Davenport Coming.
To his other achievements,
Homer Davenport, now promises
to add the distinction of a lecturer
of the first order. It takes a pe
culiar sort of quality: to- succeed
in the declining realm of picture
platform. Learning and even ora
tory cannot insure against failure.
Perhaps the open sesame is only
afforded in an engaging person
ality it so there is room at the
too for Homer Davenport. No
other man can so thoroughly in
vest the common place with
charm. Nothing dry or tedious
or uninteresting ever escapes from
his lips, because there is some
thing in that great big way of his
that imparts to whatever he says
an indefinable piquancy and
charm. It is the peculiar lot of
our Oregon Homer that good
stories seem to grow up about him
by spontaneous magic. There
are few men in public life today
whom Davenport has not met.
Statesmen, men of letters, artists
and capitalists in both this coun
try and England are his personal
friends and there is hardly one
of whom he has not some anec
dote to tell. . He talks in public
as he does to his inends, in an
ordinary conversational style not
having a particle of affectation
or a trace of oratory. He simply
tells a series of little stories iu
his own humorous and express
ive way aud wherever he has
spoken he has been asked to come
again. His talks are illustrated
with clever sketches made before
his audiences. He will lecture
in this city Saturday April 9th,
under the auspices of the Ath
letic Union at the Armory.

REAL ESTATE CO
I am so happy and so glad,
I do not now feel blue and sad.
I laugh arid talk and take my ease;
1 come and go just as I please.
I tell you what I sold my home
When I listed it with XV bite &. Stone. -
I was feeling very blue and sad, - L "
' My wife she made me almost mad ;
She did not want on the farm to stay,
She wanted to sell it and move away,
So I listed it for more than a year
And stttl I found myself right here.
The agents took my -place in hand
They were so sure they could sell the land.
I sometimes think they did not try
For they never brought a man to buy,
They gave me a wink with a knowing smile
And tried to fool me all thejwhile.
With that knowiug smile and wink
They could not fool me, don't youjthink.
I saw they would vot sell my home
So I listed it with White & Stone,
i'ou bet, I fouud them just aud true;
They will doyour work aU right for yoUi
They will always help you if they can.
They deal with vou as man with man.
They'ie always ready with good advice,
Aud are not iifraid to advertise.
So, if you would miyor sell a home
Just have a talk with White & s to tie. .

muy seem like a boio statement, but we are

evidence, if given ft chance.-
ARGUMENT.
All large dealers, iike the Portland firms,
have enormous expenses that we do not have
in the way of immense rent, electric light,
clerk hire, freight, dravage and numerous
other bills. Especially is this true of tueir
ageuls who cart their nianos around from
town to town, creating bills which you have to
share if you buy of them. Large firms save
about 10 on atpiano bv buying in large carload
lots Do you think that makes up for the
above expenses? We are in a position to sell
cheaper than any large firms and the way our
customer' are it. creasing gives evidence that
people are finding it out. Beware of spec
ial sales, piano clubs and the like.
fio firm can eell goods at wholesale prices to
the retail trade and no firm does.
always make a profit ou our pianos and never
give anyone a special price, or sell to you for
less ihau your neighbor, as we have but oue
price the year around. There is uot unother
dealer in the fauific Northwest, to our knowl
edge, which has strictly one price on each
piauo from which they ever never deviate.
At least have a talk with
M. A. GOODNOUGH
before purchasing and see what he has topfier.
Our 2o0 plan is a thoroughly good instru
ment, of beautiful tone, action, fiuish and
workmanship and one which would cost else
where $300 ho 9325. We have several new styles
coming. Second hand pianos also for sale.
