On that day be came to Salem and to one C C. ttarvls re marked that he woo Id give tbe sum t $100 to any person that would induce any woman to become bis wife. Sarvis rus tled around and finally entered into a scheme with Aunie Comstock wherein she would become the old man's darling, and he would get the much-wanted coin. The wedding ceremony was performed by a Salem justice of the peace, and the old man and bis lair bride repaired to the Groase farm residence to pass their honeymoon. The next day the bride de serted her husband and came back to Salem. At the following term of circuit court she began a suit for divorce, but was not successful ia obtaining a decree of separation. Later on she left rialem and to did Sarvis. Now Mr. Grosse seeks a dissolution of the marriage contract. The summons returned shows that Mrs. Grosse is at The Dalles, in Wasco county A Hunting Party Returns- Mr. Fred Uronson and the Messrs.

After arriving at Lyle, last Friday, they iinuie d lately procured a conveyance and pro ceeded to tbe lake, arriving there late at qight, and during a furious snow storm. Snow bad fallen continually all the way from the boat landing, .and in the evening the wind blew with great velocity. They passed the nigut in a deserted house on tbe banks of the lake, and the next morn -ing Ibund the snow about two feet deep. Not a goose, ducK or swan was to be seen on the lake, the storm having induced them to seek lher resorts. The day be fore tbe lake was covered with thousands of birds; but bey bad sought a warmer resort, and the hunting party relumed without game. They bad postponed their trip loo late, and tbe storm of Friday bad debarred them from the privilege of ex ercising their skill in shooting w'ld birds, Taught 99 Terms.

This choir is composed of some of out oest siugers, at-d any number assigned then is always an attractive one at an enteitaiu- ment. Mips Bessie French in a recitation, "M Old Sweetheart, showed careful training iud very correct gestures and intonations ' voice. The enunciation was ciear anu un met, and empbksis wai pruperlv placed. The vocal duet by Mesdames Huntiogto id Corson was well sui'g, and these ladies re U' questionably excellent vocalists. They aere loud I v aDDlauded by tbe audience at the close. The Doll Drill by twelve primary pupils was a most interesting number on the nrnoramme. To a soog adapted to the occasion the little girls fondled their doils ith all the spparent earnestness they auiuld in their play houses. Jbey kept ood time to the music, and sang the soog in perfect tone. The lecture bv President Chapman of the tate university was the especial feature of -he evening., Bis rubject was "The College nd the World," and his line of argumen' was the neoessity of a higher education for .access ia all professions sod business. B statistics, the president said, it had been oroven that the college-bred men attains success in the different yocations of life 6f teen ears aoouer than he who has not re ceived this course of mental discipline or training. His language was well chosen, and the line of thought very carefully fol lowed. Tne-exercises closed with a song by the Congregational churcb ihoir,' and tbe large ndienne dispersed well satisfied with the evenings entertainment, looignt anotner very interesting programme will be re nearsed. and, we presume, it will be greeted by an tquaily large audience as the cue latt eveoiog. We are informed that Miss Urace Hollis- ter drilled the primary pupi s in the "Doll Drill," and the manner in which this was performed entitles her to great credit.

T. P. Vsiaos. ' Why av Chance in Text Book? Sun, Uecembir 9th. The plea is made that the chauge of at least a few school books is de-irable; that some of those now in use are ''pal pably inferior;" and that after all, the change desired will cost the patrons of the schools nothing, as old books can be exchanged for new, at a rate, ranging all the way from an even exchange to about one-third the retail price. One professor even goes so far as to say that if every book in the state were to be changed nobody would lose a ce t. He furnishes no prool to support inis remar able statement, except that he counts in "the superior value of new books to sec ond-hand." irns one may tigur- as high as his imagination or interests will reach. Educational merit of books would seem to be f little importance to the gentleman who seems so bent on a change that be has given the entire s ate the benefit of his wide experience in the way of suggestions and advice which probably originated in the fertile brain of the agents of one or more publishing houses who are in the state for just that purpose, that is, to find some pliable tool to further their ends. .Let us examine tnese propositions a little. Whether the change of any books at all is desirable or not we do not pio fess to be able, as some people who are not and never were school teachers as sume t be, to jucue. But it is certain that the leading and strongest pleas for a change comes from intrestej if not in competent sources, and is contradicted by some of the best and most trust worthy educators of the slate- Some, at least, of those who urge the change of a few book, just a few, expect to make this the entering wedge for the change of a great many or nearly all, and letters written to a numner ot persons in tile state would indicate that one gentleman was very muca at eea as to just what he did want, and had but little if any knowledge of the sti ject under discus sion. But to return to the more importan; matter of cost, the reasoning for the change advocated is entirely untenable. Even the professor quoted admits that the cost will be about one-third the re tail price of the new books. This might amount to considerable to a poor man with a "leng" family ; but this exchange proposition is only a bait. The one- third price for exchange is only tte worm that the sucker shallows. In the first place, the "exchange" is limited to a very short period of time, and only can be made at certain designated points in the state, two or three, say, in each county. Many of the schools will not even be in session during this period of exchange, and multitudes of children will not be able to avail themselves of it, and we have in mind our experience here of five years ago, and the general dissatisfaction cansed by a change of books at that time, and do we want a repetition of that now at- a time when so many of our people are looking for the means to pay the daily expenses of their families for the necessaries of life. No, the fact is, that if any changes are made at all, the books will be bought in most cases at the full price, aud the people do not get anything for nothing, here or elsewhere. Public sentiment in this state is strong ly against these proposed changes, and those who have tbe trust in charge should li mindful of the people's wishes. The simple fact is that we have good schoo's to Oregon, and tbat they compare favor, ably with other stales on the Pacific coast. That tbe books used in our schools are good, stands to reason for good books are just as essential to tbe teacher as good tools are to tbe mechanic; therefore, anr material change will not be materially beneficial to our school system, but on the other hand will be a beayv expense to the parents of our school children. Many of them are poor and cannot afford this extra expense, and none of them should be needlessly obliged to incur it.
