One of the pleasant social events of the
season occurred Saturday at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Claoa Flagman, southwest
oi Philomath. Tbe occasion was tbe
twenty.firih anuirersaiy of tbe marriage
of the hoet and hostess. On the 26th day
of October, 1882, Mr. and Mrs. Plagman
were united ia matrimony in Crawford
county, Iowa. Sixteen years ago they
immigrated to Oregon and have been
residents of this county since that time.
Last Saturday they gathered about them
a Lost of relatives and frieads and cele
brated the occasion in the hospitable
manner of long ago, terminating with a
dance in the evening. Mr. and Mrs.
Karstens and Mr. and Mrs. Lather Jrom
Richlands were among ths number f res
ent. A sumptuous wedding dinner was
served to the guests who numbered some
fifty or sixty, and in the evening many
more came to participate in the Terpsi-
chorean pleasure. Many beautiful and
useful gifts were presented, typical of the
silver anniversary and at a late hoar tbe
guests departed with the wish that they
could all be present at the close of an
other twenty-five years to gild the gilts
of silvertendred that day.

Oregon Agricultural college and the
University of Washington will not meet
on the gridiron this year after three sea
sons of playing between the two institu

has received decidedly the worst of it,
Oregon '"Agues" winning twice by big
scores and tying in the third. It can
hardly be said that Washington has cold
feet, but Manager Greenhaw tried hard to
aret the Evergreen men to come to Cor

' While the announcement of the name
of the lowest bidder on the Southern
Pacific depot for Ecgene has not yet
been made, and tbe cent ract will not be
let for a tew days, it is believed here that
W. O. Heckart, ef this city, will get the
contract. A reason for this bslief is that
a few days ago Mr. Hecaart received a
bid from a Portland man for painting
the building and tbe bid was on the letter
head ot Chief Engineer Boeske, of the S.
P. Co. From that it is inferred that Mr.
Heckart secured the contract, the painter
who put in the bid having learned it
from the railroad officials in Portland.

A genuiae "witch'' window, in honor

this week at Nolan's store. A fire of logs

about and forming a forest back giound

attired in the latest styles bear-ekin

CATARRH IS CURABLE.
Successful Experiments in Abat
ing and Curing Tnis Disease.
Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary die
ease and should not be tolerated for a
siogl" dar now that Hyomei is so gener
ally known and has made so many cures
in Corvallis and otber towns.
TJniil comparatively recent times ca
tarrh was thought to be a blood disease
and stomach dosine tbe only treatment.
Modern science finally disproved this idea
of the cause of catarrh, and found that it
was a germ disease and, afte many ex
periments, the remsdy was decided to be
Hvomei.
Hyomei medicates the air yen breathe ;
it kills the catarrhal germs; it heals the
smarting and raw membranes of the
passages in the nose and throat ; it cure e
all catarrhal troubles.
As there is life and health in the air in
the mountain-tops where the pine forests
give off tbeir fragrant and healing bal
sams, so there is life and health in breath
ing Hyomei. ,There is no need of suffer
ing from catarrh if the simple and natural
treatment of Hyomei is used.
So sure is this prescription to cure even
the worst cases of catarrh,- that Graham
& Wells sell it under an absolute guaran
tee to refund the money if it dees not do
all that ie claimed for it. 89-91
