On Friday night, March 27, at 8 o'clock P. M., in the Normal chapel Rev. E. C Wigmore will deliver his lecture on "Living Books of the Aae."

Mrs. Margaret Benedict died on the truiii laHt Thursday after noon at ;J: lo o'clock as eho was being conveyed from Monmouth, Ore., to he home in Portland sys the Portland Journal. Mrs. Benedict had been suffer ing for some time with typhoid fever and a short time ago recovered sufliciently to go to Monmouth, where it was hoped that the change would prove beneficial to her. She began to improve and decided to return home. Olds, Wortman & King, by whom hhe was employed as a clerk were notified to make arrangements to have some one meet h'-r at the depot. They did so but were later saddened lo learn that the unfortunate young woman had expired ' on the journey. Dunns; her illness ehe had been subject to attacks of nervous pros tration and it is believed that this was the direct cause of her death. Mrs. Margaret Beuedict was 28 years of age and au active member of the Retail Clerks' Union. It will be remembered that last summer The Journal conducted a Voting contest awarding a prize and a free trip to the seaside to the most popular young lady in 1 ort land. Mrs. Beuedict was awarded tae second prize aud came within a few votes of carrying oil the first honors. She was highly re spected by all who knew her and her sudden demise casts a gloom over every member of the Itetail Clerk'H Union. That organization will have charge of the funeral, which will probably occur Sunday. Ni;WACQUISlT10NT. W. A Messner. of North Yam hill, Opens His Store. W. A. Messner and family, of North Yamhill, arrived this week and are now located in the dwell ing house vacated by J. A. Mills. Mr. Messner recently bought the racket store and is busy adding to it a complete line of dry goods, boots and shoes, and kindred lines, also a fine stock of groceries. He ; a t.ri fKlO stock from his Id U4W "'Q t " , former home town and will mater ially add to this amount. Geo. Conkey, well-known in town, has been employed as head dry goods man. , Mr. Messner is a valuable ac quisition to the town, because he is a hustler. During his residence in North Yamhill he erected a fine building, tho nicest residence in town, was the promoter of a bant and principal subscriber to a large hotel there. His former neighbors speak of him in the most laudatory terms and regret bis decision to move away from them. W e are fortunate to secure such a man and express the hope that he will pros per with the town. Mohair Now King. The mohair people of Polk coun ty are happy. The offer 30 cents as the price and the independence of the grower is evidenced by the fact that no Kales have been report ed even at these fancy figures. The dealers say that the reason tkey cannot buy at these prices is the fact that nearly all the clip is tied up in the Polk County Mohair Association's pool. This, no doubt has its effect on th amount in sight for sale as well as on the p'ice. Be that as it may May there is not a pound of the "sein ing fleece" for Polk county. The Mohair Association of this county claims to set the price of mohair in Oregon, if not on the coast. At least it can be said the association has on every sale, exceeded the prices received by any indiyidual for wool of like grade. Of course, some growers haying clips from full bloods, or graded Hocks, do not enter the pool with their entire clip, but sell the reserve direct to the manufacturer, thereby receiv ing a very much higher price for this extra grade of mohair. But 30 cents is offered now for the pro duct of the common herd in good condition. Prof. Waiin Not a Candidate. The Oregonian has W. A. Wann, of Eugene, the Mutual Life Insur ance man and late democratic can didate for state school superinten- ' dent, aa a candidate for the ap pointment of state game warden at the hands of Governor LhamDer lain. Mr. Wann makes denial and says he is out for nothing but more life insurance. Eugene Guard. . Miss Bessie Butler is yisiting in Dallas. F. A. Douty was a passenger to Seattle Wednesday. Riley Craven was a passenger to Portland Tuesday. One Short Horn Durham bull for sale. F. M. Smith, one mile north of Lewisyille. Mrs. Hattie Wells arrived trom San Francisco Tuesday to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. Claggett, here. Mrs. W. C. Hembree returned to her home in McMinnville Tuesday, . after a visit with relatives in Mon mouth. The PicKel gallery was closed the first of the week. J. M. Mc Calebhas gained control of the resources of t he gallery on C street. It is Mr. McCaleb's 'intentions to materially improve his present quarters and to give the people here the very best service. T. B. Huntley, county road mas ter, left this -week for the Salt Creek section, where he is to super intend some road work. His work this year is sufficient testimonial of his ability to fill the trying dutieB of his office. Fine Standard Breed Chickens.. Fifteen Buff Cochin eggs for $1.50 if shipped.
