Children in Palti
Never cry as do children who are suf-e-ii'-
fro"i hunger. Sach is the cause
of all babies who cry and are treated for
sickness, when they really are suffering
from hunger. This is cans'd from their
food not being aepimilated but devoured
by worms. A few doses of White's
Cream Vermifuge will cause them to
cease crying and begin to thrive at once.

As the hour for opening of the
All-Benton School Fair draws
near, our citizens realize the
magnitude and grnd success it
is to be. Arrangement after ar
rangement is being perfected so
that everything will go off lise
clock work. Attraction after
attraction is being secured so as
to surpass in entertainment any
thing that has been witnessed by
the citizens of the county. One
thing about the Fair that appeals
to all is that everything is to be
free except the merry-go-round.
No admission is to be charged for
viewing exhib ts, free electrical
moving picture show, the con
certs by the band and orchestra
and quartette, the ice cream so
cial, the elocutionary treat, in
fact everything as stated is to be
given free. Such an opportunity
for amusement and pleasure has
never ben surpassed in the mem
ory of the o'dest cit:zens of old
Benton. How the little hearts of
our bovs and girls are going to
be gladened when they come aad
see the many things arranged for
their special pleasure which is
making every father and mother
in the county exert themselves to
the extreme to bring them to the
Fair.
Carpenters are at work, pre
paring the court house for storing
the exhibits. It is to be decorat
ed immediately, and the beautiful
sight to be presented cannot be
escribed by words. The only
way to be able to enjoy it is to
come and see the room of float-
ng bunting, electric lights and
fluttering ribbons.
The grove is to be arranged so
that the seats will be in the form
of a circle, that the farthest per
son in the rear ot the ' audience
can see and enjoy the orations of
the day.
Reports are being received re
lative to the parade of school
children. From reports the
largest assemblage of children in
the history of the county will
march down Main street to be re
viewed by the Governor and
United States Senator Fulton.
One of the things appealing to
the farmers is the hee camping
privileges. As has been stated,
free wood and mountain water
will be supplied to all. A large
number of farmers have indicated
their intention to brine their
families to camp. The camp
ground will be policed so that
everything will be safe and secure.
The Eiler Piano House of
Portland is to bring an orchestra
of talented musicians and a quar
tette of rare ability from Portland
or the Fair. Their orchestra
and quartette will dispense music
during all hours of the day free.
This house is now arranging
most spectacular decorations in
the court house.
The large flags for decoration
nave arrived and have been hung
in place this week. A good sur-
puse is in store for our citizens.
The flags ihsted of being four feet
vide and six feet long are six
-et wide and ten and eight feet
long. Over one hundred sach
fugs are to decorate Main street,
the side streets, leading to Main,
rbe street leading west from the
Occidental Hotel to the Opera
House, thence north to the north
west coiner of the Court Hause,
and west on street south of Court
House. There will pe ruu a
streamer ot flags from the top of
the flag staff on the Court House,
clear across the street east ot the
Court House, besides fligs flat

ery passing zephyr.
The entire system of lighting
is to be turned on Fiiday evening
irom 0:30 to 9 o ciocK. uook i

On account of the congested
condition of the city during the
Fair, the committee has asked
every person having spare rooms
to report the number and location
toSectretary Russ. This is be
ing done so as to render the stay
in the city of the many visitors
one of pleasure and comfort.
Exhibit cards have been order
ed and sent every day; already a
large number of exhibits hive ar
rived. The exhibit promises to
a hummer, an eye opener. Old
Benton will be more than proud
of herself after the work of bur
children is installed in the Court
House.

A meeting for the purpose of
perfecting the organization of the
Benton County Horticultural So
ciety will be held in Corvallis Au
gust 31 at 1 o'clock at the court

KILLED ON C. & E.
Trying To Forget.
Recent rumors that Holy Rol
Ierism yet exists at Waldport, a
seacoast town on Alsea Bay, have
been found to be untrue, says a
dispatch to the Oregonian. They
arose from the fact that O. V.
Hurt, whose home was wrecked
by CrefEeld, is reniding with his
family near Waldport, and on a
mountain ranch, almost isolated
from communication with the
world, is trying to live down the
memories of that time.
Once a leading business man
of Corvallis, Or. and high in the
political and social life of his
county, O. V. Hurt is now con
tent to spend the remainder
of his life on this tar
away foothill farm. He shuns
ordinary acquaintance, not be
cause he ' is a devotee of Cref
field's faith but because he wishes
to forget it.
A Good Trade.
Fireman Meets Death Tuesday
En Route to Yaqulna.
Arthur Hassman, fireman on
the C. & E. train between Cor
vallis and Yaquina, wa killed
Tuesday afternoon near Blodgett,
in a manner that will always re
main a mystery. The body was
found, badly mangled, on the
bank of Mary's river, atone of
the bridges, but how the young
man happened to fall from the
train will never be known.
Engineer Casteel was looking
out the window, and upon ad
dressing a remark to Hassman
and receiving no reply he noticed
for the first time that the fire
man -was not in, his customary
place. When an investigation
was made it was found Hassman
was not on the train, and the
engine was run back several miles
and a search made .or the mis
sing man. Finding no trace of
him, the train was obliged to
proceed o Yaquina.
Residents of Blodgett, the sec
tion hands and loggers engaged
in the search, and about 7 o'clock
found the mangled body on the
bank ot the river.
A young man who was in the
party of searchers that found
Hassman was in Corvallis Wed
nesday. He stated that Hass
man'o liad was mashed, that he
was covered with blosd and dirt
and was in a shocking condition.
This would seem to give weight
to the theory that the fireman
might have been going along the
outside rail of the engine and on
crossing the bridge had leaned
too far out and been struck by
the timbers. Or the fall to the
rocks below may have mangled
the body as it was. How it hap
pened will of course remain a
mysiery.
Hassman's body was taken to
Yaquina, where he resided with
bis parents. The funeral was
held Thursday, an inquest hav
ing been conducted Wednesday
forenoon.
Deceased was aged about 25
years and was not married.
