Lincoln's BRAHAM UN COLN'S biogra pher. Ward Hill Lamon, was also his friend, part ner and body guard. A mem ber of Lincoln's cabinet wrote of Lamon that he "was with him Lincoln more than any other man, there be ing no one In whom he so much confided and to whom he gave such free expression o f his feelings to ward others and about his trials WABD II. LAMON. and troubles in conducting his great of fice." Born in Virginia in 1826 or 1827, Lamon at an early age removed to Danville, 111. He practiced law at Dan ville, and in 1SS2 a card in the Illinois Citizen of that place announced that "Abraham Lincoln. Springfield, and W. H. Lamon, Danville, Attorneys at Law, having formed a co-partnership, will prac tice in the Courts of the Eighth Judicial Circuit and the Superior Court, and all business intrusted to them will be at tended to with promptness and fidelity." When Mr. Lincoln was making his plans to leave Springfield for Washington for his first Inauguration his friends became preatly nlarmed for his safety, discover ing. ii3 they tliousht. that a widespread plot existed for the abduction or assassi nation of the president elect en route. Mr. Lamon was selected by Mr. Lincoln to be his bodyguard on the Journey. When the memorable trip was made Mr. Lamon was more than six feet high, strong, stout and athletic. He was, says another intimate personal, friend of Mr. Lincoln, "a Hercules In stature. He was skilled In all the ways of the manly art and, although prudent and cautious, was thoroughly courageous and bold." ' After Mr. Lincoln was Inaugurated one Of his first official acts was to appoint Mr. Lamon marshal of the District of Columbia.

It is said on good authority that there was not a time during the civil war when there was not in Washington or Balti more or In the vicinity of those cities some conspiracy to injure or capture Mr. Lincoln or one or more of the members of his cabinet. Mr. Lamon has left it on record that be discovered and foiled many such plots the details of which have never come to the light of public knowledge. It may be asked why so vigilant a body' guard, aided by all the resources of the federal and district, governments, could not prevent or foil the fatal pistol shot of Booth on the night of April 14. 1885. The answer may be found partly In Mr. Lincoln's own words "You may guard me at a single point, but I will neces sarily be exposed at others. Tee truth is. If any man has made up his mind that be will give his life for mine he can take mine" and partly in the fact that on April 11, 186S. Mr. Lamon was sent by the president to attend a convention held in Richmond for the purpose of devising means to get that state back into the Union. Before leaving for Richmond Marshal Lamon had a final interview with the president. "Make me one promise," said he to Mr. Lincoln. "What is that?" asked the latter. "Perhaps I can." "I want you to promise me not to go to the theater during my absence. After some further talk the president said, "I will do the best I can," and then, turning to John P. Usher, secretary of the interior, who was present at the interview, he said, in sub stance. "My friend is crazy on the sub ject of my assassination." When Secretary Seward regained con sciousness after the attack upon him, made at the same time that Mr. Lincoln was shot, almost his first words on learn ing . that the president was dead were: "Where is Colonel Lamon? If he had been in the city this would not have hap pened." Many times afterward he re peated this remark, and his words were echoed by those who were nearest and dearest to the martyred Lincoln. After Mr. Lincoln's death Colonel La mon lived in Washington for many years. He removed later to Martinsburg, W. Va. There, on May 8, 1893, he passed away. Gazette Cham. Blakaaloo.

The first preliminary canvass of Marion county made by the j friends of Willis C. Hawley, can-i didate for congress, has just been completed. The total registra tion of the county shows about 4,000 republican votes. Of iht-se nearly 2,000 are in the ten Salem precincts. The poll of the Salem precincts, " giving all doubtful voters to the opposition, shows eighty per cent for Haw lev It is practically the same in Aurora, and higher than that in Hubbard. In Jefferson it is almost as large. The strength of the opposition is in Woodburn and the two Silverton precincts. Hawley may lose in these, with possibly two others. The plu ralities for Hawley in Aurora, Hubbard, and Jefferson, and the ten Salem precincts, will repre sent his plurality in the county, as the remaining precincts will more than offset any pluralities the opposition mav secure in Sil ver ton and Woodburn. Mr. Hawley has visited every county in the district except Cur ry, Lake, Lincoln and Tilla mook, and he has active workers in all ot these. He has every as surance that he will have plu- alities in ten of the seventeen counties, and more than an even chance in three of the remaining seven. A careful and very con servative estimate, based upon reports from every part of the district gives him 45 per cent of of the total republican vote. Of course these claims will be disputed. To acknowledge them would be an open confession of defeat. Let the voter put this statement in his vest pocket and keep it there until April 21, and he will find that this estimate, like every other thus far made by the friends of Mr. Hawley in his campaign, has been more than verified. It is no longer a question as to his success but as o the amount of his plurality. A Worthy Undertaking. The ladies of the Coffee Club are the first to take decided action this spring in regard to beautify ing the city of Corvallis. The scene of operation is at the city hall, where on Wednesday morn ing a force . of men began a vigorous campaign against disor der and neglect, and inaugurated system ot improvement that should be generally imitated. The grounds around the city hall ire to be converted into a verita ble 'bower of beauty." Beds ire being prepared and all sorts of . choice roses and shrubbery will soon be put out. Along the cement walks will be the finest roses to be secured, climbing roses and other vines will be trained along the walls and up to the windows of the hall, and the grounds complete will show what i little labor and pride can do in the way of beautifying the city. Who will be the next to take up this much-needed work? Why net look after the church grounds a little, and to private yards in particular? Flowers are one of hz cheapest luxuries on eail'i and one of the most satisfying, ytt many a yard is barren and dreary from lack of investment of a few pennies in flower seeds. If you cannot afford the more ex pensive bulbs and roots of the choicest flowers, buy a few pack ages ot the good old-fashioned po.-ies tnat were your grand mother's pride; they are fragrant and beautiful and will give an air of cheery comfort to your premises that will be of inesti mable value to you and to your neighbors. Let this season te an epoch in the history ot Cor vallis along this line of improve ment, and begin at once, for the days are passing swiftly, and "the g ,od old summer time" brings other thoughts than those of rake and shovel. For County Commissioner. While there is generally little said about this office, yet it is one ot the most important to the taxpayer and the prosperity of the county. The Commissioners' court has at all times under con sideration the proper conduct of the business affairs of the connty and the expenditure of large sums of money. .

NATIONAL FLORAL EMBLEMS How Ireland's Shamrock and Scot land's Thistle Were Chosen Originally. The flower of our country is pop ularly supposed to be the golden rod, says the New York Herald. Some years ago when the choice of a national flower was left for the children in the public schools to decide by vote, the choice fell to the wild rose. But nine people ou t of every ten would tell you that the goldenrod was the one decided upon, and that flower is perhaps best suited for the purpose, for it abounds in all parts of the United States and is rarely found in any other country. In England in the fourteenth century the national flower was the broom, or planta genista. It was not till the reign of Henry VI. that the national emblem came to be the rose. The story of Ireland's shamrock is a very pretty one. St. Patrick was one day preaching at Tara try ing to explain the doctrine of the trinity. Plucking a shamrock which was peeping up through the turf at his feet, he said: "Do you not see these three leaves on the one stalk ? Such is the doctrine of the great three in one." From that time the shamrock was the na tional emblem in Ireland. The tale of the Scottish thistle is a very different one. In the reign of Malcolm, in the year 1010, the Danes swooped down upon the coast of Aberdeenshire by night, intending to surround and storm the great fortress of Staines. The first installment crept up bare footed and dropped into the moat, but they found they were not in water at all. The moat was dry and covered with a great growth of thistles, which stung their un protected feet and caused them to cry out unmercifully. The sound roused the sentinels and in a mo ment a volley was fired upon the Danes, who broke and fled. From this fact the thistle was given its high place in the esteem of the Scotchmen. France is the only country which allows a flower to appear in its na tional heraldry. But the fleur-de-lis, or three lilies, is so different from most flowers that it does nor seem out of place on the national coat-of-arms. Canada has adopt ed the scarlet maple leaf, which makes miie of her woods blaze in autumn. The Japanese have the chrysanthemum, and fittingly, too, for the island is the birthplace of this gorgeous flower. From earli est time Greece has had the fra grant narcissus, and the pome granate blossom has been the flor al emblem of Spain. Switzerland claims that flower most difficult of an to fifeh, toedelvcfegt . COUNTRY CORRESPONDENCE. ; ' ' OAK GOYE Mr. Weed has moveil back to his homestead. H says he is in eearch of solitude.

Cake, aspirant for con gressional honors, was a Corvallis visitor Wednesday. There will be services at Plymouth at 3:00o'jlock Sunday. William J.

ERRORS IN LORE OF CIGARS White Ash No Test of Quality, Nor Dark Wrapper of Strength Free Burner a Good One. White ash upon a cigar has been popularly supposed to indi cate the excellence of the weed, but, as a matter of fact, its only indication is of the presence of potash in the leaf, says the New York Herald. Tobacco rich in chloride of sodi um burns with imperfect combus tion and with a dark ash. As the value of a cigar is dependent upon the freedom with which it burns, a white ash may be a rough test of excellence, but a cigar with a dark ash, properly rolled, may burn more evenly than one rich in potash but imperfectly made, and at best the "white ash" is but a rudimerary test.
