The big All-Benton school fair is past and the preparations that extended over a year or more were brought to a tplendid finish ia the fair last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The town was in gala attire lrom the beginning and every body was made welcome, every courtesy and accommodation pos sible being extended. The circuit court roam, where the exhibits weie displayed, was crowded from morning until night every day and in all the great crowd there was no one bu had a word of praise for what had been accomplished in the big iair. The work of the children in various lines and from all parts of the count y was little short of marvelous and much of it would have done credit to a 'full grown" man or woman. From fields and garden the products came in loads and all were remarkably fine, while hand work and cookery, such as bread making, preserving and jelley-making by the little girls was of a character to put many an old ana experienced House keeper to shame. The judges of these things were experienced hoasewives, and they declared themselves absolutely astounded at the results accomplished by these little cooks. The parade Thursday after noon was excellent. It includ ed probably iooo school children ot the county led by a brass band, representatives of Philomath col lege, floats of various local and business houses including one each by Amy Cameron's harness shop, L. I. Brooks' seed store, A. H. Ke in pin furniture store, H. Bouiden, Wiley's liveiv stable, Ambler & Waters' real estate office. O. J. Blackledge's furniture store and the Kaupisch creamery. All were splendid, the Kaupisch, Brooks and Wiley floats being particularly effective. The parade of school children was reviewed by Governor Cham berlain and U. S. Senator Fulton, after which both these gentlemen delivered addresses at the court house square. In the evening Dr. W. T. Kerr gave an excellent address on edu cation, to a large and apprecia tive audience on the court house lawn. Friday and Saturday the crowds were not larger than on the opening day but the town had the appearance of a three dajs' fourth of July celebration. The programme of events was as previously mentioned and every thing pas-ed off in a manner en tirely satisfactory to everybody. Truly it has been a gieat, a wonderful event in the history of B nton county, It is ender1, tut, i.s effects are not. They will goon and on and be greater and better than even the most imaginative can imagine. The children have been aroused and interested on two vital subjects agriculture and domestic science, if we may call it such, and the results will make for more capable and competent men and women along these important lines ot labor. Whiskey and Revolvers. In a cell at The Dalles, await ing trial for murder, lies a bitter ly remorseful man who says be has no recollection ot the homi cide, or any of the incidents just preceding or following it. Out in the conntry lies the body ot what a tew days agu was aaotUei man, the prisoner's victim, thus cut off sucdenly while yet young and capable of enjoying life, says the Oregon Journal. There were two causes of this tragedy, the two most usual and frequent causes of such affairs. One cause was whiskey. The murderer was so drunk that, he says, he had no knowledge and has no recollection of what he did; the other man, according to one report, was drunk enough to be quarrelsome, though he was a peaceable and quiet man when scber. Whiskey causes a multi tude of such crimes and many of them aie far more to be de plored than this one, for too often there are widows a ad orphans to suffer. The other cause was a revol ver, the ever-ready revolver in the hands of a drunken man. Without the revolver the whis key would not have caused the killing, nothing more than a fist icuff; but the man who was in sensately drunk had a revolver, and because he had, one man lies iB an untimely grave and another, himself, in a cell charged with murder. Of all the devil's implements u.ed to kill and maim and dis grace mankind, and produce de-th and sorrow and suffering and remorse, these two are the greatest, whiskey and the revol ver. Whiskey is the greatest of these implements, no doubt, but it would bs relieved of a large fraction of its criminal curse if there were no revolvers to be used in connection with or as a result of drinking it. Splendid Recital Given. The crowing event in the All Benton school fair, and one which had long been anticipated with pleasure by Corvallisites, happen ed at the First Methodist church Saturday evening. It was the elocutionary recital by Prof. George Lester Paul of Portland and the large chuich and the an nex was crowded with those who knew that a treat was in store for all who attended. Prof. Paul did not in the least disappoint those who had expect ed so much from the entertain ment. Beginning with a recita tion, "The District School," suited more particularly to the younger part of the audience, he gave a program that was suited to his audience and to the occas ion and which was of sufficient range to please all tastes and to fully demonstrate his ability. Every number save one received an encore and the entertainment would have lasted much longer had the audience had a voice in the matter. Prof. Paul is former tjorvaliis boy and one of whom Corvallis is justly proud During the evening Superin tendent Denman read the list of awards in the All-Benton fair, and the Bellefountain played several numbers. band Georgia Minstrels. When Richards & Pringle's famous Georgia Minstrels appear at the opera house next Saturday night the public will see the most expensive colored show ever organized. If any doubt of the absolute truthfulness of this statement exists, it will be for ever dispelled when the perform ance is given. It must be confessed now that there is no doubts in the minds of the management about their being able to make the giving of so vast and expensive a show with any profit, and as a matter of fact the business ordinarily done by other shows would not have been profitable, but it was immensely profitable, and packed houses rule everywhere. The program is a lengthy one, and made up of great variety. The street parade at 2 p. m. is a novelty two bands in daily par ade. General Kobart E.

Fulton held the close attention of a large audience at the court bouse square, Friday afternoon, while he discussed many of the live political and economic topics of the day, including tariff revis'on, the election of senator by popular vote, inter-state commerce, an open Willamette river, and other things. It is rarely that a Corvallis audience has the pleasure of list ening to such a distinguished and interesting speaker as Senator Fulton and the remark was made by a prominent business man of a neighboring city that he had not heard a better address within the state during his long resi dence in Oregon. Senator Fulton explained his views on the direct primary, making his position very clear indeed and supporting his opin ions bv strong rtasons. Passing from this subject he made a vig orous plea for an open Willam ette from Portland to Eugene with free locks at Oregon City, stating that the improvement of the waterways would settle the question of railroad legislation and do away with the necessity for a railroad commission. Give the Willamette Valley an open river to Eugene that can be navi gated all the year round by boats of three feet draught, and the trouble will be disposed of in re gard to transportation facilities. The senator pledged himself to work at all times to secure an open river, ana we promise was greeted with warm applause. In conclusion, alter a very thorough discussion on the above questions, Senator Fulton con gratulated Corvallis on the All- Benton Fair, spoke of its far reaching effects for good in inter esting the young in the practical things of life, at.d made a strong, earnest plea for the young to lead clean, pure lives and tor all to bear in mind their responsibility as upright citizens of this great country.

U, Offer.- "If the merchants of Corva' is. want general rest room openf;.. up and maintained in this-en y and will join forces with the W. C. T. TJ. ladies and aid us, wr will donate the three rooms of the cottage north of and adjoining: the Reading room, fix the rooms cojnfortably for the purpose and the women who cares for the Reading room can also care for the rest room. By the use of these rooms there will be a place -for women fiom the country to fix up, change their dress it they like,, and take care of their children, and it will not be expensive for any one, if we all work for the project and keep up the place fot the benefit of the town." Such is the statement ot a W. C, T. U. lady who has read and approves of the plan for a rest room, as advocated by the Ga zette in former issues. The way is thus opened, and if the merchants would take an interest in the matter and each one contribute a small amount regularly every month, such a resort could be established and maintained and es other towns find it a profitable plan, why not Corvallis? The W. C. T. U. ladies cannot do any more than they are doingx now, until they are out of debt.. Besidcs, any assistance rendered' by them will be wholly free and for the good of the public, as there would be no benefit save, that they would be assisting in a worthy cause. If their offer of the cottage rooms is not accepted a splendid opportunity will be lost for pro viding Benton county women with a room such as many another town, both in the East and West, finds a good thing and a "pay ing" proposition. The Bis Show. That which is described as the biggest and best Uncle Tom's Cabin company traveling will ap pear at Corvallis Saturday Sept. 7, under a large water-proof tent. It is known from Ocean to Ocean, as John F. Stows's big pavilion Uncle Tom's Cabin Company, and is compoced of twenty-five men, women and children, all capable actors, actresses, . and -dancers. As a scenic production, it is said to be the best in the world. Among others worthy of special mention are the scenes of the Ohio river by moonlight, the cotton plantation, and the eorseous tranlormatiou scene at the clese of the performance. There is a grand noon-day con cert given by Prof. Hayworth's military band and is worth going a long way to hear. Georgia Minstrels. . Richards & Pringfes famous Georgia Minstrels will appear at the opera house on Saturday, September 7th. The coming of this popular organization is al ways hailed with delight by lov ers of old-time minstrelsy, as the performance approaches nearer to what made the minstrels so popu lar. The manager of the local play house is also glad to see the "Georgias" make their annual visit, as it means a full house and big box office receipts. The word is passed along the line that the show put up by these sons of Ham excel anything ever seen by this or similar organiza tions. Seat Sale opens Thursday, morning. She Found Relief.
