ROOSEVELT AS SENATOR. A great amount of energy has been used to convince President Roosevelt that he should accept the nomination for republican candidate.for the next president. Tha Junior Sena' or from Oregon has devoted much attention to this subject, making his efforts corspicious and yet not con vincing to the President. The President has indicated that if his public service is needed be prefers to become United States Senator rather than again suc ceed himself to the presidency. The unusual acitivity put forth to persuade Mr. Roosevelt to again become president proceeds from the idea that only one man in the United States is fitted for the position. The President, how ever, is aware that when occasion demands there is always a man to be found qualified to perform the duties of the occasion. Mr. Roosevelt is a man of strong personal convictions and deter mined in his purpose of carrying them out. Having repeatedly declared his purpose not to ac cept the nomination of his party for the presidential race near at hand, he will no doubt insist up on having his way. Having de clared his consent to become United States senator instead of president, he no doubt has in mind plans how he can best serve the people. A long time has passed away since the Senate has had a lead er along the lines and with the energy pursued by the presi dent. With a president elect ed who. would, carry out the policies pursued by President Roosevelt, and with Roosevelt in the Senate as a leader of that body, actively pursuing the same line of action, would certainly accomplish results more speedi ly than has usually occurred in the senate. If Mr. Roosevelt should be elected to the senate it will be interesting to observe whether that body will insist in his case of carrying out its time honored tradition of requiring a senator during his first term to remain quiet and listen to the older members for a time. CORVALLIS. Corvallis is a splendid country city surrounded with beautiful scenery, blessed with a climate unsurpassed, having the best mountain water system flowing direct from the foot of Mary's Peak, a good sewerage system and all other facilities necessary to insure the healthiest town to be found anywhere. The State Agricultural College with about one thousand students in attend ance and a first-class graded pub lie school system makes this the leading educational town of the northwest. Surrounding the town and throughout the country are fine farms with highly pro ductive soil, where sheep, cattle horses and all other domestic sn mals of superior quality grow and flourish. This beautiful little city centrally located in the Wil lamette Valley, the garden spot of the northwest, is one of the oldest towns in the valley. The splendid school facilities maintained here attract many people to this locality from differ ent parts of this and other States and a few from foreign countries who come for the purpose ofi obtaining the superior advanta-1 ges afforded by the thorough and complete school system. Some of the finest classes of stock are raised in the county. The technical subjects taught at the Agricultural College alorg the lines of improved methods of farming encourage not only the farmers on the surrounding farms, but also throughout the state to raise better classes of stock and improve in their farming. I PROHIBITION GROWING. The Associated Press dispatch says that from figures in the pos wjsslon ot prohibition head quarters at Washington it is esti mated that ? 33,600,000 of. the eighty odd million inhabitants 'cf the United States no?? live in communitie.s in which the law' does not parmic the sale of alco holic beverages. - In other words, more than one-third of all the inhabitants of the country can hot buy liquor in their neighbor hoods of licensed bars. In sever al "dry" communities violation of the law means penalties to both themselves and the person from whom they bought the liquor. The liquor question was in nearly every state campaign closed by the election of last Tuesday. Prohibitionists are now pre paring to force into the platforms of both great parties in the next year's campaign recognition of the growing pohibition senti ment. For this purpose the total executive committee of the Pro hibition party will meet in Chicago-November 20 to designate the time and place for holding the national convention ahead ' of the republicans and demo crats. It is proclaimed to be the inten tion "of the temperance men to de mand of the two great parties the insertion of a plank in their re spective platforms favoring the enactment of laws that will pre vent the shipment of liquor into states that have adopted prohibi tion. In the coming session of congress, a bill carrying this pro- v ision will be introduced. It was presented in the last session and was defeated. Additional Local. The skating rink was a scene of merri ment Tuesday evening, when McFarland & Lnper, the enterprising proprietors, gave a big masquerade, with'four turkeys hung np as prizes. First prize was car ried off by Roy Bier and Miss Leah Chambers; second prize by Mr. Mc Laughlin and Miss Durrelle; third prize by Philip Porter and Rose Cbipman; and fourth, Messrs McFadden and Mil ler. The prizes were given for the best sustained characters. It is probable the young ladles roasted the prize turkeys and invited their partners in to assist in eating the finished product HOLLY stationery, Christmas tass. seals and mottos, at Graham & Wells. 98tf There is to be a meeting of Oorvallis Grange in the administration building at the college, November 30th.

C. Hawley, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ella Ward, near Belle fountain,' about 8 o'clock, "Wednesday morning, of appoplexy." Mrs Weiss had been in ill health for some time but ber death, was wholly unexpected at thisi t me. William Weiss, ths husband, died, ahout two , -years ago. The funeral of Mrs, WM8s;oocurred yesterday at 3 p. m., j conducted by Rev. Walts. The survivors are two sons and three daughters, all residents of Benton county. Deceased wasagd about 61 years and was a high 1; esteemed lady jrhosa death is widely mourned. - ; A well-known Portland householder rei ently invited.Jan equally well-known ba helor, who is slightly deaf, to his home for dinner. When the family had (fathered abontf the festal board, the householder, who is somewhat devout, proceeded to ask a blessing. The deat man, who sat next him, misunderstood ths procedure and turning to his host, inquired blandly : "Beg pardon, did you speak to me?" The head of the bouse answered, politely, in the negative, and continued his pre-prandial supplication. Again the man with detective bearing broke in with the inquiry : "I didn't un derstand; again, please.' "Dammit, I'm trying to say grace, ansxrered the host, exasperation getting the better of his piety. Oregonian. . . . A shocking accident, that resulted in the death of littie two year-old Merle Lemon, occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Lemon, the child's parents, at Monroe, Monday afternoon. The moth er was preparing to scrub aad placed a vessel of boiling water on the floor, and into this the little one backed and fell. When the clothing was removed the skin peeled off the little one's body from the waist down. The accident happened be tween three and four o'clock and death ended the child's suffering about ten o'clock that niifht. The funeral was held at 11 o'clock. Wednesday forenoon, the services being conducted by Rev. M. M. Waltz, and interment was in Monroe cemetery. The young parents are almost distracted with grief, and the heartfelt sympathy of the community is extended to them in their affliction. NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY Of Special Value to Many Here in Corvallis. One of the most notable discoveries and one that undoubtedly appeals more than anything else to many people here in Corvallis is the combination et stomach remedies in the Mi-o-na treatment. This prescription has worked wonders, and there is now no excuse for anyone suffer ing with indigestion or weak stomach. It acts specifically upon the muse'es of the stomach and bowels, strengthening and stimulating them so that they readily take care of tbe food that is eaten. It al so increases tbe flow of gastric juices, thus getting from tbe food the nourish ment .that is necessary for health and energy. Tbe symptoms of indigestion are num erous, such as distress after eating flatu lence, heart-burn, sick headaches, dizzL aess, and irritability. These are all die polled by a few doses of Mi-o-na when the trouble is recent, but just as surely in long standing and chronic cases if the treatment is followed for a reasonable length of time. So positive are the good effects follow ing the use of Mi-o-na that tbe remedy is sold by Graham & Wells under an abso lute guarantee ta refund the money if it shauld fail to cure. BETTER THAN MEDICINE. Breathe Hyoraei's Tonic Healing and be Cured of Catarrh. Nature baa a remedy for catarrh, a treatment that is far better than dosing the stomach Kith medicine. It is the healing oils and . balsams of Hyomei which medicates the air you breathe, reaching the most remote air cells in the nose, throat and lungs, killing all catarrhal germs, and restoring health to the mucous membrane. In nsing Hyomei you are treating your catarrhal troubles with the only natural remedy, for it gives a curative air batn to tbe air passages that has as powerful healing and antiseptic effect a that foui d in the mountains where the pine forests give off their fragrant and healing bal sams. Breathe the invigorating and healing Hyomei, and see haw quickly yon will get relief from your catarrhal troubles. Graham 5t Wells have seen so many cures, even of thxe worst cases of catarrh, with offensive breath, raising of mucus, freqnent sneezing, droppings in the throat and spasmodic coughing, that (bey feel warranted in selling Hyomei under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does not do all that is claimed for it.

" " In connection with its account of the international convention of Zionists at The Hague a writer in a German paper says: "The national sentiment was adyocated by Stein schneider in Prague in 1835 and Moses Hess in France. In the fif ties the story went the rounds of the HiUropean papers to the effect that Adolphe Cremieux had become a convert to the Jewish state move ment. He was asked one day by Napoleon III. if he would go to such a state if it were founded, and he promptly answered, Tes, your majesty, but only as the accredited representative of France."'' Amusing Signs In Japan. Major General Hoad, who was the Australian officer attached to the Japanese army during the war with Russia, saw some amusing shop signs in Tokyo "Head: Cutter" over a barber's, "Extract of Fowls" over an egg seller's and "Ladies Furnish ed on the Upstairs" in front of a draper's. He had a memorable twenty-four hours' railway journey' in a compartment crammed with forty men, women and children. He made a resolution not to fall asleep, but he woke up in the morning to find that "a patient little Japanese lady had been supporting his head on her shoulder." Beautiful Mixed Metaphor. - I think your readers may he in terested in a mixed metaphor which recently appeared in the Egyptian Standard, the paper of Mustapha Kamel Pasha. That paper says that if the Whig element were dropped out of the cabinet "a truly Eberal wind might become the guiding light of the foreign office, and the introduction of a home rule bill for Ireland might mean the beginning of justice for Eypt." I think the idea of a wind being a guiding light is an example of mixed metaphor which it will be hard to beat. Let ter in London Spectator. - He Waited. Frau Mommsen, wictow of the Ro man ' historian, bore the great his torian sixteen children, of whom twelve, six sons and six daughters, are still living. Mommsen himself was so self centered and. engrossed with his ideas that he often passed his offspring in the street without recognizing them. One day a serv ant burst into the study of the great man with the announcement of the birth of his fourteenth. "It is a boy, Herr Professor." The pro fessor turned, annoyed. "Tell him to wait," he replied. Holiday Fashions. - There is a fashion in holiday re sorts as in apparel, and there is lit tle doubt that the tide of fashion is setting strongly in favor of Holland. Holland is the land of "round eye wonder." There is nothing quite like it in either hemisphere. Lon don Railway Times. THE And there is a reason for every pound of tough steel and enduring malleable iron in it. The 3-ply construction makes it wear well and there is an extra heavy hracing on the oven, for you must know the oven is air-tight. The heat can't get out and the dust or ashes can't get in. There are so many distinctive features peculiar to the South Bend room to speak of them all. " - bit ALL 0VR THE HOUSE. Air Treatment For Keeping Clothing Sweet Notes. At least every two weeks in sum mer and once a month in winter the place where clothes hang should be cleaned, but, strange to say, this is comparatively rarely done. Yet all garments worn soon get more or less of an odor of the body, and add ed to that there are those from the street. Woolens, of course, are more susceptible to this than are cottons, but even the latter hold unpleasant odors, and these must be avoided. I The fortnightly cleaning should consist of taking out all the clothes, including boots and shoes, if they J are kept there. Each article should be hung or spread about the room I and before windows so that the air will play around and through it. 7 This air hath should continue for ' two hours or more, and during that time the wood within the closet should be attended to. Allow the i door to remain ODen. and wash the paint with warm water in which there is a little ammonia. Soap will not be necessary except for the floor. Even better than ammonia is to put a few drops of oil of lavender in the water, for this is purifying and will leave a sweet odor most pleasant for the clothes to absorb. Every inch of the wood and espe cially the mop board and backing for the hooks should be well gone over, and the cloth may always be wrung quite dry. It is not necessary to soak the wood. The Useful Lemon. Lemons are very useful in health and sickness. Hot lemonade is one nf trip hpst remedies for an incipient ,old. It is also excellent in cases f biliousness. For malaria trie "Roman cure" is prepared by cut ting the rind and pulp of a lemon into a nint of water, then boiling i until there is only half a pint. One teaspoonful is tasen Deiore eacn mpnl This has cured obstinate leases when quinine failed. Lemon sirup made by oaKing a lemon twen ty minutes and then squeezing the juice upon half a cupful of sugar is excellent for hoarseness and to break up a cold. The Bedstead. Every part of the bedstead should be carefully dusted once a week. The best time for this will general ly be found to be before the bed is made. In the day the room is thor oughly cleaned. " If the bedstead is of wood it is advisable to have it washed over at least once a year, and certainly after illness of any kind with some disin fectant, wood, especially the unpol ished or unvarnished part, being much more difficult to preserve in a perfectly fresh condition than irns To Get Rid of Onion Odor. An onion breath may be got rid of by swallowing a mouthful of vin egar or drinking a half cupful of hot water in which a pinch of bak ing soda has been dissolved.
