OUR STOCK SHOW.
The stock show is over. It is
the second show of this charac
ter in Corvallis and was a gret
success in every way, ! The pre
mier show ot the kind in this
city was undertaken a year ago,
when everyone was pleased with
the result. It is safe to say that
the show of last week almost
eclipsed the one of a year ago.
A3 a matter of fact, these stock
shows should be made an annual
affair. Should such be the case
the exhibit of stock would be on
a larger scale and the animals
would look better, as stockmen
would have a year in which to
prepare for the event instead of
but a few weeks, as has been
the case during the period of our
two shows.
Main street is scarcely the
place to exhibit the stock and we
suggest the selection of a suit
able site and erection of sheds,
etc., for showing and caring for
the animals. The chances are
that an early notice of the show
and a knowledge that we had
good stock accommodations
would bring more stock and
more people to our fair.
Finer stock than was seen in
Corvallis last week cannot be
found in Oregon, and in some in
stances it would have been hard
to have found finer or better bred
animals in the United States. So
it will be seen that this section
of the state has become pretty
fully awake to the value of fine
stock.
The advantages of a stock
show are many, indeed . A show
of this character stimulates com'
petition of a healthy sort. More
pride is taken in the animals and
they receive more care and at
tention. Perhaps one of the
greatest advantageous features
lies in the fact that the attention
of stockmen throughout the
country is drawn to Corvallis
and they will come here to buy
good animals. Corvallis as a re
sult becomes a recognized stock
market and every man in this
city is benefitted. Let us deter
mine to hold these shows an
nually and give notice to this ef
fect right now.
APPEAL TO REASON.
Of all the damnable "rot" it
has been our ill fortune to see
in print the issue of the "Appeal
to Reason" of May 18 is certain
ly the worst. It is the champion
of Moyer, Haywood and Petti
bone It is revolutionary in all
its utterances and appeals only
to the baser qualities of man.
Anarchistic ideas are advocated.
It hopes to profit by creating
greater strife between capital
and labor rather than by words
of hope, encouragment and wis
dom such as would be calculated
to establish closer and more har
monious relations between these
two great favors in the world's
destiny.
The "Appeal to Reason"
boasts of a circulation of 287,
292. Of these subscribers we
blush to state that 7,039 are
claimed to be, Oregonians. That
common sense is so lacking on
the part of so large a number of
our fellows, and mental and
moral depravity so general and
so monstrous seems almost in
creditable. Yet there are evi
dences which convince us that
such is true, or very nearly so.
Still, despite the openness of its
revolutionary and anarchistic
tone, its defiance of all establish
ed principles of law and order
and good government, the auth
orities of the United States al
low it circulation through the
mails. This seems almost in
comprehensible for all wise men
must know that it blights
the '
natural patriotism of the youth
of the ' land, that either igno
rance or purest "cussedness"
rules its destiny, that from the
character of every utterance it
seeks to tear down and destroy
our government, and that: in no
instance has it ever faced an
issue on fair and broad princi
ples. It was suppressed in Can
adawhy not in the United
States? Are the minds, morals
and manners, of our people less
deserving protection than our
Canadian cousins?
In the issue of the "Appeal to
Reason" referred to is an article
from the pen of Eugene V.
Debs. In this article the be
nighted but unblushing Debs has
the effrontery to offer "For
President, William D. Haywood:
Platform, Labor and Liberty vs
Capital and Kidnapping." A
self-respecting class would be
insulted by such an offer, and
yet this paper has more than a
quarter-million subscribers is
this not significant? Despite
the present quarters of Messrs.
Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone,
in disregard of their woeful
plight and the many crimes
charged to them by the author
ities and a self-confessed accom
plice. Debs undertakes to com
pare them favorably with such
men as Patrick Henry, Sam
dams and John Hancock. He
would have them go down in
history as martyrs, whereas, if
they are not worse they cannot
hope to be thought better than
political agitators, labor bosses
and the lowest and least worthy
class of "undesirable" citizens.
In concluding his reprehensible
article; Debs says: "For fifteen
months William D. Haywood, in
Ada county jail, ready to die for
the working class, has proved
himself worthy to live for his
class in the white house of the
republic." Yea! Verily worthy
to live for "his" class, but we
sincerly hope that "his" class
will not be confounded with hon
est men and women be they cap
italists or working people. Are
we so far'ahead of Russia?
Some of the events for the Fourth of
July celebration will be: Ladies' foot
race, with $1.51) box of bon bons as a
pri?.e from M. T. Starr's coofeotionery
store; hose race, boys' race, 100 yard
dash, free for all; hurdle and sack races;
tug of war, potato race, greased pig aud
other features. Gold medals will probab
ly be awarded in the principal events.
The business bouses will closs on the
Fourth from 10:30 t? 4 p.m., by an
agreement of the Merchants' and Groc
ers' Association.
This is a sort of a topsy turvy world.
No one seems to be satisfied. One man
is struggling to get justice, and another
is flying from it. Oue man is saving up
to buy a house aud another is trying hard
to sell his dwelling for less than it cost,
t3 get rid of it. One man is spending all
be can earn takiag a girl to a theatre or
show and sending her valuable presents
in hopes he may eventually make her his
wife, and bis .neighbor is spending all
the gold he can get trying to get a di
vorce. Une man keeps a pistol to pro
tect himself against burglars, while his
neighbor doesn't keep one for fear of
shooting himself or some member of his
family. One man pays for his paper in
advance bscausj he cau read it with
greater relish, aud another takes it four
or five year without payiag oae cent for
it, and enjoys it hugely ail the while.
Surely a queer old world this is. Ex.
The armory was packed to the doors
Sunday morning with an interested
audience (lathered there to listen to the
annual baccalaureate sermon, the open,
in g event in. the college commencement
week. The speaker was Rev. Jonah B.
Wise, D. D., ol Portland, who is a very
sincere, impressive and polished speaker,
who not only holds the attention of bis
audience but leaves in the minds ot his
hearers food for reflection and the con-'
viction that the utterances of the speak
er are from the heart. Rev. Wise eulo
gized Oregon as "a place where the pleas
ant things of earih are gathered togeth
er," and where men have the best of
opportunity and enviionment to develop
into noble, powerful factors in the affairs
ot the state and nation. A large mixed
chorus, composed of the best vocalists in
th e citv, tendered splendid music for the
occasion, with Prof. Taillandier as pi
anist. The armory was profusely deco
rated with cedar boughs, and several
ministers of the city occupied positions
on the platform, and participated in the
exercises, Key. G. H. Feese offering the
invocation, Rev. Haadsaker reading the
scripture lesson and Rev. Armstrong '
pronouncing the benediction. President
jatch presided. i
THESE WON CUPS.
Great Success Attends Livestock
Show In Corvallis.
Success far beyond the fondest
expectations of the promoters of
the affair attended the big horse
and livestock show held in Cor
villis Friday and Saturday. It
is estimated that five or six
thousand people were in Corval
lis both days and the streets
were thronged from erly. in the
morning until the shades of eve
ning fell.
Parties present from other
cities and other states, and who
have attended many horse shows
for business purposes, daclare the
Corvallis show to have been one
of the largest and best that tbey
have ever witnessed. Benton
co'inty certainly has reason to be
proud of her fine stock, proud of
the big show, and twice proud cf
the energetic, public spirited cit
izens who made the event what
it was.
On accotmt of the condition ot
the books which had not yet

""" The Knock-out Blow.
The blow which knocked out Corbet
was a revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but if a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing
hou to the public a parallel fact; that
thq stomachis the most vulnerable organ
out ofhe prJe ring as well as in it. We
protect burha8s, throats, feet and lungs,
but theArabhve are utterly indiffer
ent to,. until disehMinds the solar plexus

Wall Paper ar.d the Sick.
"I am glad the trails of my bed
room are not papered," said the in
valid. "Xobodv but the sick knows:
how nerve racking it is to lie all
day long looking at the wall paper
that doesn't match. It matches
well enough, you understand, for
people who are well. They never
would notice where the flowers fail
ed to hitch or the stems met too far
down the fraction of an inch, but
we notice it and worry over it and
cry Bometimes because it worries us
bo. My wall is painted light blue,
the color of the skies. It doesn't
hurt my eyes at all to look at it. It
doesn't worry me. When the cur
tain is down it is the very softest
kind of blue, so gratifying that I fall
asleep looking at it. Oh, yes; the
only- thing to do with the walls of
the sickroom is to paint them light
blue." New York Press.
The Age of Fishes.
The normal length of life of our
common small minnows rarely ex
ceeds four or five years and may be
much shorter, but there are few sat
isfactory observations on this point.
No general rule can be laid down re
garding the age of fishes or the re
lation between age and size. It is
known that the salmons of the Pa
cific coast, which enter the rivers in
such immense shoals, live to be four
or five years old and then invariably
die after . once laying their eggs.
One Japanese fish died when one
year old. On the west coast of Eu
rope there occurs a small fish which
is like an annual plant that is, all
the individuals die each year and
only the eggs i. e., the seed re
main to produce the next season's
crop. St. Nicholas.
