Lincoln's Lincoln's Birthplace I Best Wrestler In Regiment tlce done. Always after this we were Lincoln was believed to be the stron-1 treated equally well and jnst as the geot man in his regiment and no doubt '. regTiiar army was in every particular, was. lie was certainly the best wres- rpjg brave, just and humane act In be tter in it, and after they left Beards- J nalf of 6 volunteers at once attached town nobody ever disputed the fact 0fflcera and rank to him as with hooks lie is said to have done tne wrestling for the company, and one man insists that he always had a handkerchief tied around his person in readiness foi the sport. For awhile it was firmly be lieved that no man in the army could "IF ANY MAN THINKS I AM A COWAED, LEI HIM TEST IT." throw him down. His company confi dently pitted hirn against the field and wore willing to bet ail they had on the result At length one Mr. Thomp son came forward and accepted the challenge. He was in fact' the most famous wrestler in the western coun try. It is not certain that the report of his achievements had ever reached the ears of Mr. Lincoln or his friends, but at any rate they eagerly made a match with him as a champion not unworthy of their own. Thompson's power and skill, however, were as well known to eer'.-un persons in the army as Mr. Lincoln's were to others. Each sidt was nboOiately certain of the victory coln's company and their sympathizers put up all their portable property and some perhaps not their own, including knives, blankets, tomahawks and all the most necessary articles of a sol dier's outfit. When the men first met, Lincoln was convinced that he could throw Thomp son; but, after tussling with him a brief space in presence of the anxious as semblage, he turned to his friends and said: "This 13 the most powerful man I ever had hold of. He will throw me, and you will lose your all unless I act on the defensive.' He managed, never theless, to hold him off for some time, but at last Thompson got the "crotch hoist" on him and, although Lincoln 'attempted with all his wonderful strength to break the ho!d bv "iirHmr" rway, a rew moments decided his fate. He was fairly thrown. As it required two out of three falls to decide the bets, Thompson and he immediately came together again and with Very nearly the same result. " Lincoln fell under, but the other man fell too. There was just enough of uncertainty about it to furnish a pretext for a hot dispute and a general fight According !; Lincoln's men instantly began the p:T;ir:- preliminaries fracas. "We were taken by surprise," says Mr. Green, "and, being unwilling to give up our property and lose our bets, got up au excuse as to the result We de clared the fall a kind of dog fall; did so apparently angrily." The fight was coming on apace and bade fair to be a big and bloody one when Lincoln rose up and said, "Boys, the man actually threw me once fair, broadly so; and the i second time, this very fall, he threw me fairly, though not so apparently so." lie would countenance no disturb ance, and his unexpected and some what astonishing magnanimity ended all attempts to raise one. Friend of Common Soldier. Mr. Lincoln's good friend, Mr. Green, the principal, though not the sole au thority for the present account of his adventure in behalf of the Indian and his wrestle with Thompson, mentions ' one important incident which is found i - .uus, aui.iuv.ui, 11 U1VU AO 1VUUU In no other manuscript and which rives us a glimpse of Mr. Lincoln in a scene of another sort "One other word in reierence to air. Lmcoms care ror tne Some officers of the United States had claimed that the regular army had a preference in the rations and pay. Mr. Lincoln was ordered to do some act which he deemed unauthorized. He, however, obeyed, but went to the offi- t cer and said to him: 'Sir, yon forget that we are not under the rules and regulations of the war department at Washington; are only volunteers under the orders and regulations of Illinois. Keep within your own sphere, and there will be no difficulty, bat resist ance will hereafter be, made to yoor unjust orders; and. further, my men must be equal tn all particulars.

Of all the candidates on the county ticket none are more de serving of the support of all good citizens than T. T. Vincent, re publican candidate for county clerk. He is well known as a quiet, earnest, persistent and intelligent worker on all lines which, in the aggregate, consti tute what is known as good American citizenship. There is no element entering in rightly developed human character of which he is not an. exponent. Da you believe in integrity, fidelity, unselfishness, truth, firm ness, courage? So dees he. Do you hold to all those things which make for purity of character and civic righteousness? In no less measuie does he. Can't, rant, self-righteousness and hypocrisy find no expression in him. Eveiywhere, at all right times, and places, constantly in his life his influence is for truth and righteousness. He is, from conviction, a re publican, and firmly holds to re publican principles, and, being the party's candidate, he will re ceive the support 01 all i epublicans and will be elected. He deserves the. support of all real, clean, manly men. Regarding Quartette. A charge has been made that the Phi loinath Quartette was turned down by the republicans. An investigation made results that Proi. O. V. White, of Philomath, prohibition candidate for county judge, who was referred to in democratic subsiantiation of the charge, authorizes the following statement: lbe republican county central com mittee never engaged the Philcmath Quartett to go on the joint canvass ; the republican county central committee never arranged with nor asked the said quartette to go on the canvass; the said quartette say, each and every one of them, that they were never treated better in all their lives than when in Alsea recently. The quartette went to Alsea at the request of the county school superintendent to assist at a "parents meeting." All the expenses of the trip were to be met by said super intendent. Prof. White and Prof. Ful- kerson both went to the cur who is re sponsible for a weeklv ispue of lies to the westward of us and asked him to cor rect the lie, but he elected to father it rather than walk in a manly path. POLITICAL POINTERS. (Continued From First Page.) o clock tomorrow evening and get acquainted with the republi can candidates. They will all make brief addresses, but the main speech of the evening wil bf made by Frank Motter, a well- kuown speaker of Portland. This will close the republican canvass, s be sure and attend. t fe f a inis paper has not in any manner cast any reflections nor j . ! made aHy dirtv insinuations re J garding the chairman of the dem- oeratic county central committee, Rob, Johnson, nor any other prominent democrat. The mouthpiece of local democracy has no been so courteous with ; nrominen t rennhliean; t e It is being circulated falsely in this county that if elected to the office of clerk, as he will be, T. T. Vincent will deputize someone to take, charge of said office. We have personally inter viewed Mr. Vincent and be .de clares on his honor that fee will bs in personal charge pt the office during the entire term. Wbat i- the use of circulating such a j lie? see W. D. DeVarney has been in ruced to write personal letters to i he farmers of Benton misinform 'ng then) that they are largely ob ligated to E. E. Wilson for rural 'elephone lines. We hope that no farmer, or anybody else, will allow himself to be buncoed in such fashion. Mr. Wilson was an attorney for the company and acted in a legal capacity, re ceiving his pay from the money paid into the company by the farmers and others. 6 s i From every section of the county we have encouraging re ports of the determination of the republicans to vote their ticket straight. Let Corvallis republi cans bestir themselves lest the country lay it over them when it comes to rolling - up republican majorities. t S If you desire well for Corvallis, Benton county and OAC, put a cross before the name ot A. J. Johnson, republican candidate for state senator, when you vote next Monday. Vote Straight. The county democracy well know that not one of their can didates can be elected without republican votes. To secure these they use every artifice, and resort to the most con temptible and disreputable con duct to cause dissention among republicans and to induce them to support democrats. So far republicans have refused to side-step for any false issue that democrats and their allies have striven to inject into the campaign. To the plea of non- partisanship republicans reply that since there must be parti sanship they greatly prefer their own sort. To the claim that certain dem ocrats are pre-eminently qualified for office and therefore should re ceive republican votes republi cans point to their own most ex cellent ticket and refuse to be lieve a man on it is not fully qualified and entitled to support. To the suave invitation, "let us unite to give them another term," republicans reply, "tney have long since exceeded a rea sonable iimit and should now stand aside for other equally de serving men." Republicans are standing shoulder to shoulder all through the county and will vote their ticket straight. It is their ticket and they will not desert it. Woman's Suffrage. Woman suffrage will be voted upon by the people of Oregon at the next election. The great plea made by the suffragists is that women are taxed without representation. This would nat urally mean that whoever is tax ed should have a vote, and who ever is not taxed shonld not vote. It must be remembered that there are two kinds of taxes a money tax and a service tax. The money tax is levied upon all property, that of men as weil as of women. The service tax is levied upon man alone. It calls for jury service, police service, and every man takes his chance on it Aiethe women prepared to seive on juries? Be locked up for nights and days with strange men, while household matters are left fo care for tbeinelves? Suffrage is not a right as so manv times has been claimed. It is both a privilege and a burden and no one has reason for asking for the privilege without being willing to assume the burden also. All women should know that they cannot purify politics, that if a good woman can vote so can a bad woman. If vou ask the suffragists if the laws of town or state injure them in any way there is silence. In what particu lar would state or towns be bene fited if the women voted? The ballet if given to women, will be used by all sorts of women, just as it now is by all sorts of men and as it is just as hard to bring out and vote the best sort of men so it would be with the best sort of women. What would the onsequence be if the baser sort of women would dc all the voting? 46 Hare your job printing done at the Gaaette office. Subscribe for the Gazette.

S. ; v. ' Cream Jr Separator Is th hect and most practical separator for erery-day farm use. It is such a well-made piece of machinery that It will last a lifetime, (tiring- erery day the quickest, easiest serTlce. It is the best Talue for the money and we guarantee It our aelTn, In addition to the a-nsrantce of the factory. To show our confidence In this separator we will ship you one on ten days' free trial. Then lflt don't proTe as represented the best and most practical for yonr own use, you may return it at our expense. Hazel wood today stands with , its guarantee behind thousands of U. S. Separators, and there has nerer been a day when we have regretted having guaranteed this fine separator. We are thoroughly and practically familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of every separator on the market and we are handling the U. S. Separator because we know it to be the best there Is. ' V SKIMS CLEANEST In addition, the U. S--Separator skims the milk cleaner tban does any other machine. This has been demon strated over and over again. The world's record for clean skimming has been beld by the U. S. Hand Separator for many years. No other hand separator has been able to equal the record made five years ago at the Pan-American Exposition, and yet this record was lowered by the U. S. Separator In the official test at the Lewis and Clark fair last year. It will outwear any other separator. It Is more easy and simple to operate, it Is easier to keep clean and it will keep right on year after yenr doing it3 daily work, giving perfect satisfaction. PAYS FOR ITSELF The 0. S. Separator will pay for Itself In one year In extra cream saved over what could be skimmed In the old fashioned way. If yon don't believe It take advantage of oar free trial offer and make the test right on your own farm. Skim in both ways end figure out the result In your own way. You will find the separator will pay for Itself In a year. We sell it on easy terms and will take creatt In payment, so you need not pay us on cent for the separator, and at the end nf the vear the machine will all be paid for.
