Receives Not ice at Hands of Salem Editor, In his visit to the All-Benton fair last week, Colonel E. Hofer of the Capital Journel "stocked" up on information in regard to certain Corvallis men. He pub lishes the following humorous "squib" about Judge McFadden: Judge McFadden of Corvallis is one of the dryest and most ef fective after-dinner humorists in Oregon. At the Commercial club smoker he took the liberty ot a representative of the minority ot reading the riot act to the Ore gon delegation, and as much as told them if they did not carry out their pledges to give the people free locks and canal at Oregon City there would be something doing in the democra tic camp. He did not doubt that Senator Fulton and Con gressman Hawley would do their utmost, but jocularly remarked that if there were no results forth coming some of the republican warborses would go off the circuit. McFadden has been able to make a living at the law busi ners and raise one of the largest families in Oregon. He is the proud father of a fine pair of twin girls, and would not make a bad candidate for congress himself, having made himself solid with the local option inter ests his democracy making him solid with the anti-church vote. That is what it takes to make a wiLner in pontics unite tne saloon vote as Frank Davey did in Marion county. There are republicans ana democrats smooth enough to do that trick, and it seems to be a winner with the people. Georgia Minstrels. Richards and Pringle's Famous Georgia Mimstre's continue to large business everywhere and it is likely to do the same in this city at the opera house on Satur day Sept. 7th for there is a fasci nation about. the fun and music that will draw the people to the theatre many times. The "Georgias have reached the com fortable stage where the main thought of the management is on the irils. the public having the assurance that they like the show. The performance given by these "Sons of Ham" gained its vitality with the introduction of something new each season, and this, their 28:b annual lour, a ptogram of novelty is promised of unusual excellence. The usual parade will be given at 11:30 a. m. Fall is Coming. The old school tell is soon to ring, the poets all arise and sing, the frost will soon display the dew, and the wind jam through the peek-a-boo.

Bill Nye, the humorist, once had a cow for sale, and advertised her as follows: Owing to my ill health I will sell at my residence in township 19 range 18, according to the government's survey, one plush, raspberry cow, aged 8 years. She is of undoubted courage, and gives milk frequently. To a man who does not fear death in any form she would be a great boom. She is very much at tached to her present home with a stay chain, but she will be sold to any 'one who will agree to treat her right. She is one fourth shorthorn and three quart ers hyeDa. I will also throw in a double-barrelled shotgun, which goes with her. Iu May she us ually goes away for a week or two and returns with a tall calf with wabbly legs. I would rather sell her to a non-resident. NOT "TOO MUCH JOHNSON." Says, Colonel Hofer Gives Cor vallis Mention in Capital Journal. Colonel E. Hofer, the Salem editor, has several things to say ot Corvallis since his visit here at the school fair. The Capital Journal says: The past week I attended the Benton County School fair ana attended the teachers' institute and Agricultural college summer school. I find I am no longer so a t active and interesting at a gathering of school teachers as younger men like State Supt. Ackerman, County Supt. Alder man, rnncipai urout and some others. The three days' pro gram wound up with a smoker at the Comercial club rooms, presid ed over in an inimitable and sometimes shocking manrer by Bert Johuson, the Corvallis post master. The Johnson family h we hogged that office under Democratic and Republican ad ministrations the man in that office is always a Johnson. Now a third Johnson has been added to the collection of CorvaHis and Benton countv boomers Senator Archie Johnson. Few towns have three such hustlers. In some families the improve ment of the race has reached its c'imax in the father and the downhill slide has begun. But not so with these Corvallis John sons. Each one is a chip off the old block, and that is the way it should be. Archie Tohnon has built a model pc toffiee for Bert Johnson, which will be occupied by happy Hooligan Bob Johnson in the advent of a democratic Dresidicg officer at the White Heuse. It cannot be said of Corvallis "too much Johnson." In fact there are not enough, and there seems to be no remedy for it. General Robert B. Lee Was the greatest gennral the world has ever known.

Save From "Towntows" men Sell Herds. -Dairy- Corvallisites are soon to be face to face with a milk famine and it will be black coffee, straight, or condensed cream. Walter Taylor has sold 24 of bis fine dairy cews to a lower Alsea man named Minoth. The sale was made Tuesday, the price paid was $40 per head, possession of the herd is to be given October 1st and thfen goodbye milk in Corvallis. Not only has Mr. Taylor sold out, but Sam Dixon, the other dairyman, has sold his cows to a Linn county man and it is stated he gives possession of them either tomorrow or Mondav. The pur chasers in each case will send cream to the creameries, in which there is more money than in any other line of dairying. Mr. Taylor will continue in business until the first of October, after which he will operate his farm, mlking only a few cows and selling the cream. In an interview yesterday he stated that bis reason for selling out was the fact that during the sum mer, when there is green feed and a dairyman can make a profit on tne milk, mauy customers turn aside from the milk wagon and buy of their neighbors who own a cow. In winter, when teed is high, they return to the milkman, thus using him as a convenience to suit their fancy. Another, and the greater rep son is, that help is almost im possible to secure, owing to the high wag 3 in all other lines which cause the laborer to be so independent that he cares little about working on a farm. Mr. Taylor either had to keep his own boys out of school or sell out, and he wisely chose the lat ter. Many old patrons regret the fact that they can no longer patronize him, as he has ever been faithful and obliging in his line if work. Esther Mitchell. Esther Mitchell will not go to the penitentiary, according to a Seattle dispatch which says: Esther Mitchell, who shot and killed her brother, George Mitch- el), at the King street passenger station in July, 19 6, within a week after the m n had been dis charged by a jury in the superior cou-t tor killing Fia :z Edmond Creffield, the high priest of the He'' 7 Rollers, will in all proba bility not go to the penitentiary ward for the criminally insane. Following the killing of her brother the Mitcbeil women was adjudged insane pud sent to the s..ate asylum at Steilacoom, wbe: e she is now. The-e is no controversy be tween the state and the friends and counsel of the woman that she committed a criminal act, but it was long before the statute was enacted that provided for the keeping of the criminally insane at the penitentiary at Walla Wal la. The new law does not in plain words explain itself as to "crimi na y insane," but Prosecuting Attorney Kenneth Mackintosh and other lawyers who have gone catetul v into the statute declare that it is only the convicted in sane that can be removed to t'.e penitentiary ward. 4,I do not think, under the statutes, that I can put Esther Mitchell in the penitentiary," said the prosecuting attorney yes terday. '"Under the present plans of the office, she will remain at Steilacoom. We construe the law as applying only to those who have been acquitted of felonies by'reason of insanity, as in the Chester Thompson case." George Mitchell's excuse for killing Crtffield was that the Holy Roller leader ruined Esther, Maud Creffield, widow of Cref-1 field, was charged by the state? with instisating the murder "" George Mitchell. The Creffield woman committed suicide in the cour.ty jail last winter. U. of O. Must Wait. Salem, Or., Sept. 3. In an opinion by Justice Robert Eakin, the Supreme Court today revers ed Judge Galloway in the Uni versity of Oregon referendum case, holding that the referendum petition is valid and that the uni versity appropriation must be submitted to a vote of the people at the next general election. Chief Justice Bean, who is a member ot the Board of Regents of the University of Oregon, did not sit in the hearing ot the case and knew nothing of the contents of the opinion until he read it after it was handed down from the bench. Two questions were involved in this case whether a petition is fatally defective if it omits the "warning clause," which in the form prescribed by statute, is to be placed at the head of the peti tion, warning persons against signing illegally, and whether a petition for the referendum mast contain a full copy of the title as well as the text of the measure. The opinion holds that the U m j --ribed by statute is not mandatory, but only directory, and that the omission of the warning clause is not fatal. Also that in referendum petitions only a copv of the measure, and not the title, is required. Additional Locals. There never was a preacher or presi dent, poet or politican who could please everybody, remarks an exchange. There never was a thinker or tailor, esldier or sailor who could suit us all. Show us a doctor or lawyer who could please the whole multitude. The Lord himself and all the angels in heaven have never half succeeded .z. comforting the human race. There is not a thing on earth or any where else that meets the approval ot & mankind. Then it would be nonsense for editors to fret when their honest ef forts fail to please a certain few. Benton county should make a special effort this year to do herself justice at the State Fair. Alter the splendid dis play made at the All-Benton School Fair in this city, it will be deplorable indeed if she fails to send a prize wianing ex hibit to Salem. It can be done, audi done easily, if the citizens will make it their special business to bring in the best specimens they have from field, gar den and orchard and leave them at' Kline's store for the fair committee. H. L. Fterch is in chaigeof this matter and is doing all he can to col'ect a credit able exhibit but he cannot succeed with out the co-operation of the farmers of. the county. It is the plan to load a car with Benton products for shipment to Salem rext Wednesday ninht. In the meantime bring in your specimens, the more the better, and do not let it be said, that Benton citizens lack the public spirit and energy necessary to put their county on the prize list, close to the top notch,. . At about one o'clock Saturday morn-' ing a charge of dynamite was exploded under the saloon of John Daly at Detroit. The building was blown to atoms. The ' explosion shook every building in De tioit and many windows were broken by ' the force of the concussion. Residents five miles distant from the scene ot tbe explosion beard the noise. As jet there is no evidence as to the person or per sons responsible for the crime, though aa. investlgation is said to be under way. It is said that a few days ago Daly in curred the hostility of a gang of Greek laborers employed on the Corvallis & Eastern railroad in construction Jwork, but there is no evidence te connect the foreigners with tre ciime. At first it was feared Daly bad been killed in the build ing but late Saturday afternoon it was learned that he was at Mill City, safe. L. B. Geer expects to ship two cat loads- of Hereford and Shorthorn cattle to Salem the first of the week to be on ex hibition at the State fair. He has just returned from the capital city and states that wonderlul improvements have been made at the fair grounds since last year. Superintendent Gammie, in charge of the live stc:k department of thi State fair, was in Corvallis, yesterday, looking after business.
