Those who claim to be in a position to know claim that dur ing the past three or four months between 50,000 and 100, C00 men have been discharged fcy the various railroads of the country. Some men claim that the figures exceed those given above. It is evident that there is con certed action on the part of the companies in letting their men so. Whether it is a desire to "even up" on the country gen erally for such legislation as is not satisfactory to railroad com p inies is not known, but this would hardly seem sufficient cause for such a course. If the railroads did not need the men under existing conditions they would lose money to keep them, while if they did have use for them they would lose money in letting them go. Consequently v e must assume that the com panies are doing what is best i!or themselves in discharging oome of their men. in some quarters it is claimed tdhat this is the season of light wark, taking the business of the TUnited States as a whole, and competent men will be taken iback when the rush of work re turns with the change of season. In other words, it affords an ex cellent opportunity and excuse fiwithe various railroad compan ies $o weed out and get rid of an amy of incompetent men who Brave stuck to them like leeches Another reason assigned for dis charging so many men is that legislation covering and control ling railroad passenger rates on tthe mileage basis is yet to be tried nd as the companies fear ffortT&e outcome they intend to :ut dawn every possible item of expense. So far as the country is con cerned there are many things he .discharged men can do, as there is a scarcity of men every where. The only trouble is that rmen who have followed certain callings, trades, professions, or bus inesses for years do not like to take up with a change of avo cation. They do not feel like be ginning life over, so to say. Some men cannot adapt them selves to changes readily, and to ;such as these to be thrown out 'Of employment works a hardship. While iu railroad circles the order for retrenchment stalks everywhere it is undoubtedly in accordance with the best judg ment of the officials, and not, as some might suppose, the result of a desire to get even on the people for their clamor for rail road legislation. It is a money matter wiih railroad magnates from first to last, and than is all .ihere is to it- Obituary. Joseph Taylor was born at East Bridgeford, Nottingham shire, England, on December 25, 1839, and died Mav 25, 1907. be ing 67 years and 5 rmnths old. He was apprenticed for the t-rm of six years in the town of Bingham at which place he re sided after his marriage to Eliza Ward of Redmile on Christmas day 2.S32. He afterwards lived in Leicester. Mr. Taylor left -England in 1S70 going to Gard iner, lansas, where he remained until 1S75. He then came to Al bany, Oregon, and from there to Corvallis. II any buildings still remain in the county of Ben .ton as monuments of his labor. Latsr he built a home four miles southwest of Philomath where he lived until the death of .his wife in November 1905. Since then he has resided with his daughter Mrs. Jeffcott of Portland. Mr. Taylor left Portland on May 2nd for a visit with his two sons who reside at Albany,' lsJjt; a son ana. daughter wno lrve near Blodgett. He ; was at the home of bis daughter" Mrs. Gel laty at the time of ;. his i death which occurred Saturday eve ning about 6:30-' - He had been ailing for several days and Dr. Newth was called Saturday morning. He grew weaker and towards evening mentioned some matters "of bus iness to his daughter and seemed to f el that the epd of life was near. He was not confined to his bed so went to take a little walk and returning fell just a few yards from the house where he was found soon after. There were no indications of a struggle but all seemed peaceful. The cause of death was organic heart trouble. Kind assistance was rendered and the remains were conveyed to Albany on Monday's C. & E. train, interment being made in the city cemetery. The following are the surviv ing members of the family: Mrs. W. H. Hauert, California; Mrs. John Jeffcott and Mrs. Lillie Kelly of Portland; J. W. and B. W. Taylor of Albany; C H. Taylor and Mrs. W. A. Gel- latly near Blodgett. One little daughter died during the resi dence in Kansas. In early life the deceased gave his heart to God. He was iden tified with christian workers both in England and America. He served as local deacon in the Evangelical Association for a numoer or. years, tie was a loving husband and an affection ate father proving faithful to the end. "Seattle Rally' An enthusiastic Christian En deavor rally was held at the Con gregational church under the auspices of the C. E. union Tues day evening. The speaker of the evening was Rev. B. H. Lingenfelter of Seattle, a member of the Inter national C. E. Commitee, who is spending a few days visiting the Endeavor societies in Oregon in behalf of the great Internation al C. E. convention to be held in Seattle July 10-15. Rev. Lingenfelter proved to be a forceful and entertaining speaker. In the invitation he extended from the Seattle En deavorers there was a ring of sincerity that made everyone feel that his presence was de sired at the convention. The speaker mentioned the beauties of Seattle and surround ings, excursions that have been planned, but most of all, the op portunity to hear men of world wide fame as an incentive to at tendance. At the close of the address the audience arose and gave the speaker the Endeavorers' salute. A solo was sung by Rev. T. S. Handsaker and a song by the male chorus of the Christian church. At the close of the program refreshments were served and an informal reception given by the local Endeavorers. Mis Nora Miller of thia citv was a guest of President Riosevelt at the White House last Saturday, and has since been viewinT the Bights it the Jamestown exposition.

It is a sin to deprive oneself of eijoy meat in life and become a burden to others through indiye-ttion. The backaches, headaches, distress after eating, loss ol appetite, gulping np of undigested food, etc., are not natural. Mi-o-na stomach tabltts used for a few dava before meals will so strengthen the digestive orgms that you can eat any thing vouwaut without fear of distress or resulting cickness. Graham & Wells have so much faith in the merits of Mi-o-na that they sell it under guarantee to refuu.il the money in case it does not cure. Hello Central! Where is No. 9?
