rie has suffered a severe loss as a
result of the defeat of Hon . B. L.
Eddy for circuit judge. Clyde Rice,
a brother of assessor-elect, Hon.
Fred Rice, in a moment of high
enthusiasm risked his handsome
and highly prized mustache, that
of a pale carmine hue, on the elect
ion of every man on the Republican
ticket in this district. The result
was disastrous. Clyde walked and
rode about in a sorrowful and de
jected manner for several days, but
election bets are inexorable. He
had to submit to the inevitable, and
today his mouth stands exposed to
a sudden sunstroke for the want of
a shade. He will probably hew re
turn to a secluded haunt far from
Pratum and await the coming of a
new mustache. Salem Statesman.

L. A. Baldwin, president of the
College of Philomath, passed
through this city yesterday on his
way to Salem, to be present at the
Liberal United Brethren Conference
now in . session at that place. A
movement is ; being agitated be
tween the two colleges at Philomath
whereby one or the other shall sel
out, as college work is hindered by
the existence at that place of two
colleges of opposite branches of the
same church. Last year a simi
lar movement was started but not
being matured was dropped for a
time! A committee, however, was
empowered at the recent session -of
the Radical United Brethren Con
ference held in Philomath, to meet
a similar committee from the
Liberal Conference now in session
at Saiem, and come to some under
standing on the matter .
It is understood that the Liberal
Brethren have a splendid offer from
Hood River and look with favor on
the proposition to sell out and move
thu college to that place. Both
colleges are first-class and have
just closed the most prosperous
year in their history.
