WAR TIMES.
Greed is generally the cause of
war, on one or both sides. The
irresistable desire for gain will
cause one people to encroach up
on the rights of another until
checked. It is noticeable that
when a nation becomes greedy
enough to do' another nation a
great injustice nothing less than
a war will give check to an of
fending nation.
It was King George's greed
that caused "taxation without
representation" in this country
and brought on the rebellion.
Later the desire of the slave
holders of the South to profit by
slavery led to our war of the re
bellion. Spain preyed upon the
Cubans for years, aye ! centuries,
using damnable oppression and
exquisite tortures to draw the
flow of life itself from the in
habitants of the Pearl of the
Antilles. That Spaniards might
wax fat the blood of Cubans was
drawn- This led to our war with
Spain, and to our credit may it
be said that we were merciful
it the matter, not mercenary.
The desire for power, for ter
ritory, for a Pacific sea port, for
future conquest far in excess of
the wildest dreams of every day
mortals led to the present strug
gle between Russia and Japan.
In this great clash of arms the
war gods rebuked the Little Fa
ther most severely.
.In looking back over all these
wars and the causes that have
brought them about the convic
tion that right will prevail is
forced upon one with unusual
force. Ultimatety right must
triumph in all affairs of earth.
Spangler in a vocal . number cn-,
titled. Without Thee." She
received a hearty recall, to which
she responded. No more graci
ous compliment can be paid her
effort than to say that her sing
ing was in keepiug with the usu
al excellence of her work.
"Trouble at SaterJee's" was a
farce in oae act. All those par
ticipating in the play did most
excellently aud provided genuine
entertainment. Miss Laura Pratt;
as an Irish maid, was a decided
success. The physical culture
drill was very nice and awaken
ed considerable enthusiasm. Eight
young ladies were in the drill and
they went through all evolutions
without a hitch.
A pantomime, "The Storv of
a Faithful Soul," was by Miss
Alice Wicklund, to the reading
of Miss Crawford. It was a task
requiring a conception far beyonfi
the average person attempting
this class of work. The mono
logue entitled "The Green-Eyed
Monster," by Miss Wicklund,
was a most trying role and she
displayed no mean ability in her
interpretation. In certain parts
of the monologue are' climaxes
calculated to 'test the ability of
any one, and in these she was
not found wanting far from it.
In all, Miss Wicklund was on
the stage four times and her work
in every way was of a high order.
In emotional parts she is unusual
ly strong. From start to finish
the enteitainment was an enter
tainment and a good one, too.

Judge 0. H. Stewart, of Albany de
cided the habea corpus matte tried be
fore him last week, in favor of the peti
tioners, John and Elizabeth Senger, this
place. This gives them the care, custody
and maintenance of the baby girl, Wilma
Ruth Warren.
. As stated previously in the Gazette,
the child was given to its icrandparents
when the mother, Bessie Warren, their
only daiuhter. died, Ian. 15, 1904, by
lip r and her husband, Luthr Warren,
tli(y kv 't it until com time in last
January - The father at that, tim-rame
to Corvallis and requested the uraiid-
tnother, Mrs. Senger, to take the babe
and go to his parents, who live, on a
farm seven miles southwest of Browns
ville, in Linn county, that he and they
might visit with the child, promising to
return the bahy in three or four weeks.
Mrs Senger did as requested, but about

teriuindd to heep the child at his father's
and ttiat place would be its Imure home,
and that she could not have it'any more.
A habeas corpus proceeding was insti
tuted for the recovery ofthe child, in the
county court ot Linn county, with the re
sult as above stated.
. It was admitted at the trial, and it is
known to many here, that Mr. andJMrs.
Senger were good to their little grand
child, and the question before the court
was principally a legal one, whether the
father could give away his ch Id and
afterwards change his mind and re
take it. -
It is a case that has attracted a great
deal of attention "both in Brownsville
and Albany " wnere botn ; couples n
grandparents are well known, and m
stated probably to be a new new case of
the kind in the state.

CAUSES SORENESS.
Just at present it appears that
Germany is rubbing France's
back the wrong way, so far as
relates to which of the two coun
tries shall be the ''most favored
nation" in Morocco. Of course
every utterance of the min
isters of the two countries is
couched in the most up-to-date
language, but through it all there
is evidence of unusual friction.
It is hardly likely that war will
be the outcome of this difference,
as the cost of the war has been
made very plain to the people of
these countries in the struggle
now progressing between Russia
and Japan. Nevertheless, it is
like the reopening of an old
sore in France for the Kaiser of
the Fatherland to turn the trick
and receive the stand-in as the
"most favored nation" with the
Saltan of Morocco. ;
Very Pleasing.
' A good audience was in at
tendance at the Opera House last
Fiidsy evening m the occasion
of the entertainment ly- Miss
Helen Crawford's class in elocu
tion at.d physical culture. AU
in all, it was one of the most
pleasing ever given by this de
partment, and' was a credit to
Miss Crawford, and OAC as well
Assistance was rendered by the
department of vocal music.
The singing of the Ladies'
Chorus was very gcpd and made
a favorable impression. The reci
tation "In May'r by Miss Margar
et Miller was well received and
should be accepted as a iesson
worth while for young ladies to
-remember. Schumann's "Two
Grenadiers" was yerv acceptably
sung by Miss Mabelle Keady.
The recitation, " "Mask and
Dominos" by M''-s HelleBonney,
was a number
.nding im-
periousness of manner,-"combining
heartlessness, rich as is dis
played by a cat playing with a
mouse, and craftiness. This was
an excellently rendered number.
This was followed by Miss ItVi , local news.
George Parsons arrived with his
orchestra, yesterday, to play for the
Junior hop.
Mrs. Grace E. Hall has so far
recovered from her recent attack ot
appendicitis that she was able to
be on the streets yesterday.

W. G. Emery has just complete d

members of the graduating class of
OAC, '05. ' The picture is 30x40
and shows 47 graduates. Smaller
pictures are to be made from it for

"The Central Willamette Medical
Association, composed, of doctors of
the counties of Linn, ' BeDton and
Lincoln, met at Hotel Corvallis .at
Thursday evtning in quarterly
session. The meeting is highly
spoken of, Dr. Wallace being credit
ed with a uiott interesting paper on
the heart. A tine banquet was pro
vided those present and the meet
ing was a decided success, both
socially and' educationally. The
association will hold its next session
in Albany in September.
The sermon Sunday evemngjto the
Congregational church as the ser
mon in the morning to the college
by Rev. "Elwin L. Housp, of the
First Congregational- church of
Portland, was a master piece of
thought, erudition and eloquence.
The congregation that filled the
church to its utmost capacity was
held by the preacher in high ten
sion from the first to the last word.
Many remained after the services
for a warm hand shake and ex
pression of gratitude. The choir
maintained its h'sh record in -the
musicil part of the service, and
all connecting features were of
high order. '. ,

For nearly four years I suffered
from ovarian troubles. The doc
tor insisted on an operation as the
only way to get well. 1, however,
strongly objected to an operation:
My husband . felt disheartened as
well as I, for home with . a sick
woman is a disconsolate place at
best. A friendly druggist advised
him to get a bottle of Wine of
Cardui for me to try, and he did so.
I began to improve in a few days and
my recovery was very rapid. With
in eighteen weeks I was another
being. ,
