LOCAL AND PERSONU How old is Washington? J. J. Cadv made a business to Albany, Widnesday. New Orleans Concert Company at the Opera House tonight. Judge W. S. McFadden went to Eugene, Wednesday night, to at tend some legal business. Nothing sweater than the old tine Soutnern melodies, and real -darky singing at the Opera House tonight. Representative Carter was up from Wells a couple of days ago, We have it from quite a reliable source that there is no doubt of his being a candidate for renomination at the coming primaries for another term as representative. William Bryans, who recently fiold his farm near Wren, moved onto a newly acquired farm near Lebanon during tb,e week. The gentleman nas been quite prom inent in this county and we are loath to see him depart. - Lieut. Quinlai?, commandant at OAC. informs us that krae rifles are authorized for the college Theinformation reached the lieuten ant a couple of days ago. It is his opinion that the rifles will arrive in about three months. Wednesday, J. M. Porter went to Portland on business. He is negotiating, in fact the deal is the same as consummated, for some mighty fine business property close to Hotel rortiana. rle ex pected when he left to be absent everal days. Mr. Laidlaw, of Portland, stop- neJ at the home ot u. u. isrooks a few davs ago while on a search for clover seed. The gentleman is the president of the Columbia Southern Irrigation Co, that controls 27,000 acres of land and he owns a large farm in the Willamette Valley F. P. Sheasgreen came up from Portland, Tuesday evening, on mat ters of business. Among other items to receiye attention he was looking up some horses suitable for use in Portland for delivering for the mill and box factory in which Mr. Sheasgreenis interested. From what seems to be a reliable source we learn that the epidemic of typhoid fever in Eugene is de creasing. It is thought that the recent hard rains have had a bear ing on the epidemio, as the atmos phere was purified and sanitary conditions improved. On the 27th inst.. the celebrated Charles B. Hand ford, supported by Miss Marie Drofdnab, will appear in Albany in Shakespeare's "Mer chant of Venice." There is a strong possibility of a large crowd of peo ple going from this city to attend the production of the play. Such opportunities are not presented often. The Masons have decided to change the front in the store build ing occupied by F. L. Miller. Ed ward Buxton has the commission to do the work and it is expected that he will begin the task next Monday. The change is made necessary in order to better light the store and while the masons are at the work thy intend to put in an up-to-date front. The Red Winps from Minnesota met with an awful defeat Monday evening when they attempted to te?.ch the OAC boys the game known as basket ball. The final score gave our boys 24 points to Red Wings' 15 and we are inform ed that the manager of the Minne sota team spoke cf it as the great est game that he had ever 6een. Tr.ppday evening the Eugene play ers' were defeated by the Red Wings, the score being 23 to 11. Eugene plays here tonight. During tin week James L. Lewis has been gathering up horsts for A. E. Holcomb, of the East Side Transfer Co , of Portland. This is the company which lost so many horses in a recent fire. The horses recently purchased by Mr. Lewis numbered twelve and were shipped to the metropolis by boat Wednes day. They were as fine a lot of animals as ever left Benton county and were all raised in this county save one. As a lot they were hard to beat. In honor to the memory of 1 the "Father of Hi3 Country" flags float ed on the breeze in this city yesterday. " I Snndav a. niew and nsnhsw of Chas. H. Miller arrived in Cor vallia from Cripple Creek, Colorado, for a short visit. They are making a tour of the coast. t The rains of the past few days brought a great deal of snow out ot the mountains and as a result the Willamette river is at a good boat ing stage. ' The friends attending' the Bap tist social on Wednesday evening were delightfully entertained, and the young people feel very grateful for so much kind patronage and hope to receive it again in the near future. , Next Monday evening Marion F. Davis, of Pendleton Oregon, who is grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias lodge, will meet with the boys in this city. The local knights are preparing to nave a rousing time on his arrival. The social given at Simpson chapel, Southern Benton, last Fri day evening was a delightful success. Everything promised was executed to the fullest. The pro ceeds amounted to $67.50, which is a splendid showing and gives a good idea of the attendance. Only two more games of basket ball are to be played this season. One of these takes place tonight in the Armory, and will be between the State University and OAC teams. The other will be with the Dallas college men on Friday of next week. The County Convention of Grange Delegates from the various granges of the county will meet in Supt. Danman's office on Saturday, March 3, at 1 p. m., to elect dele gates to the State Grange. Mr. Denman is Deputy Master for the county and the meeting is called by him. James G. Horning, Corvallis, sends us a change for his ad in this issue, but ir, came to late. He says the demand for stock this year has been something wonderful. He says he belieyes he could sell at least one hundred cockerels more if he had them. This, by the way is a common complaint ot the ma jority of advertisers m the North west Poultry journal the past year. More demand tnan tney can sup ply. This is not a boom year, either, but the peopie are more and more awakening to the value of pure-bred fowls. Northwest Poul try Journal. The explosion of dynamite men tioned in our last issue caused Harry Walker, an expert powder man, the loss of hearing in his left ear. ills sight was also badly af fected and particles of dirt blown into his face, his clothing was rent and he was badly used up in var ious ways. At the present time he is getting along as well as could be expected. The wonder is that he was not blown to atoms as he was not more than 3J feet from the powder when it exploded. This was the first accident that ever be- ell Mr. Walker in the many years that he has handled powder. The accident was the result of thawing powder for blowing out stumps in the Taylor hopyard. This evening, the basket ball men or the totate University will ome to Corvallis to undertake the lefeat of the OAC men. So far this season, the university men have won out in football over the collegians and it will be their ef forts to secure victories both at basket ball aud at track. The OAC men have been making pre parations for a long time for the gime against their old riv.ils at basket ball, and they will eeak to night, as far as possible, to take re venge for last fall's defeat at foot ball. A record breaking crowd will probably witness the game. Tli9 game will begin promptly at. eight thirty. The ca.aie will be preceded by a band concert. Cannot Change. The following decision dis patched from Salem, Friday, plainly shows that candidates tor office cannot switch : Attorney-General Crawford, in response to a querry from Sec retary of State Dunbar, rendered an opinion that a candidate for office under ! the ; direct primary law cannot withdraw or amend his declaration ot principles after having filed them with the Secre tary of State. ine Attorney-uenerai says that there is no provision in the law for the recording of amend ments or the withdrawal of one petition that another may be filed; that to permit a candidate to file a new declaration would cause endless confusion and ren der the record kept by the secre tary useless and valueless. According to this ruling, the candidate who finds his declar ation of principles not in har mony with popular sentiment will find it impossible to change his principles. i Additional Local. Carpets at cost at Cady. Hollenberg & ... 18tf The roaf over the blacksmith shop of Hathaway Bros, is of cor rugated iron and has been in use several winters with the result that it is badly rusted. The accidental xplosiou of 50 pounds of giant powder a mile or so from town last Monday caused a concussion that j arred all the rust loose and opened up the roof to such au extent that the recent rains were a menace to the fire in the forge and continually drenched the smiths. Inconse quence thereof the matter was taken up with the Odd Fellows, who own the building, and it has been decid ed to place a new roof over the NiiMtng. Chas. Heckart will do the work and will begin at once. Damon's New Orleans Colored Concert Company, Opera House Tonight.

Additional Local. We acknowledge the receipt of the February Courier, a journal published at the Monmouth normal school. It is very interesting and every page gives evidence of the trend of the student thought. Frank W. BeneoD, of Dauglao county, who is a candidate for the office of secretary of state, visited in our city a f iff days ago. He made a mighty favorable impres sion on the brethren. Some peculiar and interesting matters are brought to lignt in re gistering voters. The other day a voter from Kings Valley in getting his name on the registration books made use of blank "A.

Pratt weut down Monday in re sponse to the call and became a charter member of the association . At this meeting there was an elec tion of officers for the ensuing year. Everything was placed on a good footing so far as the association is concerned. This is a epndid movement on the part of Oregon opticians and assures the public protection against fakers. Mr. Pratt says that more than thirty opticians were in attendance from various parts of the state. Attorney L. L.

A. m. uamon was compelled to re-i spond to three encores, on his violin solo "DeBeriot's 7me Con certo" and the other members ot the company shared pretty much the same fate. Citizen Clearfield, Pa. There was a wreck on the South ern Pacific some time during Wed nesday night or early Thursday luoruing at Delta, California. The wreck Wa8 caused by a slide. Ou ihe occurrence of the first slide it was tnought that a tramp who was stealing a ride had been killed and while searching for his remains a second slide occurred killing three people and the train being a double header and drawn by two engines, both engines were ground to pow der. An engineer and fireman were among the killed. It is thought possible that six or eight people were killed. Trains were consider ably delayed by the accident. It is stated that according to late advices the war department has authorized the establishment of a brigade camp in every state in the union, it is known that California and Washington each have govern ment quarters for the soldiers, but I Oregon alone of the coast states has ro such barricks. Members of the Citizens' League will remember that about a year ago Lieut. Quin Ian called the attentiun of that body to the matter and urged that Cor vallis make a strong pull for the location of such brigade camp Considering our cadet body and other matters, together with the 4P Save Your Nerves. What's the use of anything? Nothing when your feet ache and you are irritable and all fagged out from the tortures of ill-fitting shoes.

It is well con structed in every particular, and all the materials entering into its makeup are the very best. This Schumann piano which I am going to sell, is one remain ing of a car load sold by a representative of Eiler's Piano House, at a town near here.
