We regret to state that he has not
been benefitted by his sojourn in

We desire to call attention to the
ad. of Prof. G. Taillandier, which

very rare bargains for those who

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Edwards, Mr.
and Mrs. Clyde Starr and Mr. and

played with the Salem musicians
on this occasion.
The New Orleans Colored Con
cert Co. appeared in the local opera

was favorable, but no great enthu
siasm was evinced.

vhad a limb broken by a fall from
her horse while out riding, is re
covering as rapidly as could be ex
pected. The limb is now in a
plaster cast, although for Borae
time after the accident there was
much difficulty in treating the

bone and lacerations of the muscles
caused by it. Mies Benham lives
near Bellefountain.
The remnants of the "Bachelors'

Next Friday night at the Armory,
is to occur the last game of basket
ball of the season OAC vs Dallas.
Not only will it be the last game of
the season, but it will decide the
state inter-collegiate champion
ship. It will be remembered that
on Feb. 9, in the gams at Dallas,
OAC defeated Dallas by 2 points,
but it must also be remembered
that the latter team was at the
disadvantage of having one of her
best players out of action. A spec
ial excursion is to be run from
Dallas, Monmouth and Indepen
dence, and the indications are that
au immense crowd will be in at
tendance. That a great game is to
be played there is no doubt, for
OAC has always looked upon Dal
las as the hardest nut she has to
crack when it comes to basket balL
The game i oiog to be worth the
25 ceu'.a adm s.iou, that is certain.

Don't go to Albany on a wild
eroose chase, wnen you can see a
most excellent play right in Cor
vallis. Go to the Opera House

Co. in "Moths," a guaranteed attrac
tion. A company of United Artisans
are to pay a fraternal visit t? the
Wells lodge next Saturdav night.
The event is looked forward to with
happy anticipation by the local
people and there is no doubt but
that a large crowd will plan to go.
The R. F. D. carriers of the
counties of Linn and Benton have a
sort of organization of their own.
Together with Postmaster Johnson
the Benton carriers visited the
Albany brethren on Washington's
birthday and fraternized to their
hearts' content.
Prof. Stoudenmeyer, in former
years well known in this city as
"Tex," was up from Salem Thurs

the college dance. "Tex" now ranks
well among the leading cornetists
of the coast.
The Empire Theatre Company

The plays they piesent are clean

numbers 18 people, and they rend
er delightful and refreshing enter
tainment at very low prices.
Mrs Martha Burnett returned
Saturday from Monroe, where she
had been at the bedside of her
brother, Wesley Hinton, who is
very ill, with slight hopes of re
covery. Mr. Hinton is an Oregon
pioneer of '47, and has for many
years resided in Benton, where he
has many friends who sincerely
hope for his recovery.
In an exchange from & neighbor
ing county we notice that an aspir
ant for public office has filed a
petition, as by law required, and
failed utterly to state in said
petition for which office he bad a
preference. When a fellow gets so
"worked up"' over his candidacy
that he forgets what he wants one
cannot avoid being amused.
A little better than hve to one
in favor of OAC was the score of the
basket ball game at the Armory
Friday evening when the team of
U. of O. was down trom iiiUgene.
Oil account of so many other things
go on the attendance was not fo
grvit as during former games, but
there was a good crowd just the
same. Members of the colore J
troupe who chanced to be showing
in Corvallis that evening attended
the came and sane a number of.
Sings to the delightof those present
At the start the game was very
snappy and well played, but our
boys poon pulled away from their
opponents and kept piling up the
score until thev had reached the
great total of 32 to G.
Chas. Overlander who came
down from Salado as a witness for
Mr. Bancroft says the springhas
hung out her signals all along the
Big Elk valley; the alders are in
bloom and the gras3 is growing
nicely. Mr. Overlander has been
experimenting with his fern bench
land. He has found that he can
raise a good crop of winter oats on
this laud. The oats get. a good
growth during the winter while
the pesky ferns are dormant and in
the spring smother the young fern
shoots. It has been proved that a
good yield of fall wheat can be
raised on his fern land. Why not
raise more oats and wheat and less
fern. Toledo Reporter. Charley
above-mentioned is a brother of
F. R. Overlander, of this city, and
is well kowa in Corval i?.

it is a most superior instrument in every
respect, being one of the old reliable
makes- It has been familiar to the musi
cal world for over fifty years. There is
the fine, delicate artistic timbre to the
Schumann tone that places it in the class
of the very finest makes. 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 r main-
ed in white silk and carried
bouquet ot white roses and ferns.
The bridesmaid was becomingly
attired in bine silk batiste and
