BOMBS.
Our national independence has
been celebrated once again and
the cold, gray dawn of "the
morning after" brought with it
the usual resolutions which re
sult from headache and reflec
tion. Fatalities are reported
from all over the land from var
ious causes as the result of
celebrating this day and a brief
perusal of these casualties makes
us wonder if we are a sane
p op'e that we indulge in festiv
ities so deadly. It is right to
be patriotic, but there is no de
mand that we be foolishly so-true
patriotism doesn't consist of noise
alone.
That all classes of citizens
should be proud of their national
independence is fitting, and it
ns.L'jrally follows that they should
wish to observe the Fourth of
July. But we are unfit for inde
pcudence and self-government
when we retrograde to barbar
ian. Our Fourfhof July today
stands fo. I""!: else than noise
and din at least noise and din
are painfully apparent, turn
whichever direction one may.
The Chinese we esteem as a
heathen and barbaric race, and
their celebration of "China New
Years" we tolerate as an act of
a benighted people. Yet on the
Fourth of July we turn ourselves
loose with something of the fierce
fury of the devils in hell and by
our superior mentality, are en
abled to give greater evidences
of insanity than is possible for
the Chinese. So far as this city
is concerned we are as some other
cities; no better and no worse. J
But in certain cities the councils
have taken steps to protect the
people, prohibiting the firing of
giant firecrackers and dynamite
bombs. In Corvallis there is a
great demand for some such ac
tion on the part of our council
and we believe such action may
be expected of those who frame
and enact our city laws before
Corvallis again celebrates the day
in question. There is no desire
on the part of anyone to advo
cate that which will in any wise
injure our local dealers. But
as the town is now sold out of
heavy explosives timely action on
the part of the council will warn
them not to lay in another sup
ply. Or, if we must have bombs
and giant crackers, and dealers
must handle them, let the council
see to it that some place other
than Main street be the firing
line. Knowing the dangers
arising, the possibility of setting
on fire the clothing of women
and children, scaring teams, etc..
to say nothing of the nuisance
these heavy explosives are to the
masses, it is almost criminal not
to take steps to safeguard the
people. If bombs must boom let
it be according to council regula
tion of some reasonable sort
hereafter.
Kelly Not '-In It."
Dan Kellv, Oregon's famous
fpiiu'er, is ki Eugene suffering
with a strained leg which he in
jured in Seattle. Kelly's limb
is still far from being well and
he was unable to go to his home
in Baker City to rua ia the races
in which he was advertised as the
star attractiou ou the Fourth.
Kelly's leg is in such condition
it is not likely he will participate
in any more events during the
summer. His plans are undeter
mined, but it is pretty well un
derstood that he will return to
the University of Oregon again
this fall.
Lunatic Escaped.
W A Salem dispatch Friday says:
M. S. Hooky, a patient at the
insane asylum, committed from
this county April 15, this year,
made bis escape from the violent
ward some time Wednesday
night, and at last reports is still
at large, making his way toward
the Cascade Mountains. He is
about 40 years old and was
once committed to an Eastern
asylum, from which he also
made an escape. Althou h not
of a vicious nature, he was an
agitator, hence his confinment
in the violent ward. He escaped
by removing the Yale lock
from the, window guard of the
second story of the building.
He either filed the Jock or sever
ed the shank with a manila cord.
He put in an appearance at his
home near Hubbard early thi
morning, and struck out fiom
there toward the mountains.
A Japanese patient who occupied
the same room with him made
no attempt to escape.

tributions. It was a great undertaking
and all help renddred wag much appre

Splendid Union ' Meeting.
All the churches of the city
have joined in a plan for union
services for the months . of July
and Angast, to be held Sunday
evenings on the court house
lawn. Each church will held its
own Sunday school and morning

under the auspices of the churches
of the city and the W. C. T. U.
It was a "Stainless Flag" and
temperance service, the principal
address being delivered by Mr.
Zimmerman, superintendent of
the anti-saloon league of Oregon.
This was perhaps the best tem
perance address ever delivered in
Corvallis by any speaker, save
possibly the one by . John G.
Wooly, given several years ago.
Mr. Zimmerman Is thoroughly
familiar with his subject, is a
pleasant, forceful speaker, and is
armed with sound arguments
that win friends everywhere for
his cause.
Other features of the service,
Sunday evening, were a vocal
solo, well rendered, by Rev.
Handssker, a fine selection by a
male quartette composed of Bvron
Hunter, W. C. Sann, Rev.
Handsaker and Victor Moses,
and remarks by Rev. Bell.
Prayer was offered by Rev. G. H.
Feese of the M. E. church, Rev.
Monosmi'h of the Congregation
al church read the scripture les
son, the invocation was by Rev.
Hurd of the United Evangelical
church and Rev. Gibbs of the
South Methodist church presided.
It was a splendid service, and
an immense audience ot people
should turn out next Sunday
evening and by their presence
help to make these union meet
ing - successful.
All hats at cost during this month.
