SAW SUICIDE IN VISION Rems.rke.ble Story In Regard to Death of Ida Page There is a niarvolous story in circu lation connected with the suicide of Ida Page near Koseburg last week. Prof. Campbell of Monmouth was ou the southbound train Tuesday even ing and it is stated that when near Leiand lie told Conductor Kearney that ho had seen the body of a woman lying near the track just ont of Rose- burg, describing the spot whero Miss Page's body waa found the next morn ing. But it is stated as a fact that at the time when the train that bore Prof. Campbell passed through ltosu- burg. Miss Pago was at tho depot and was soon afterwards on the street. As near as can bo learucd, she did uot go to the plaoo whero her body was found until after nine o'clock, some where near the time when Prof. Campbell is said to have told Ins story to the conductor.

THRESHING HAS BEGUN Light Crops Prevail In the Rogue River Valley. Threshing began 111 the Rogue river valley this week. The crop Is the lightest in years 011 account of the ex treme dryness of the season. Fall sown grain bus made, as always, a very giMid crop but the spring sown grain Is extremely light except 011 the bot tom lands. One feature of the season which made it harder on the farmers was that the winter was extremely and continually wet, making it diffi cult to plant grulu until so latu that the dry season set in before the grain had a sn Mil lent start.

COM AN, General Passenger Agent. Points In Fashionable Milllnerv. Tho high crowu remains a popular style, iu straw as well us in lace,- hlffon aud tule. In almost every in stance the brim is wide all around, with a slight (tare off the face. Plumes and tisi offer manifold jiossi- bilitles in thu adornment of high crowntd hats, The revival of the little b iiiuut with strings will undoubtedly hecomo more general as the season ml vances. Gossamer materials and straw braids ire used to fashion them, and ostrich tiM, lace and sequins form the decorations, with itrlngs usually of velvet ribbon. Tim youthful face lisiks especially well under a Hat plateau or tlni new sailor with very low crown and rather widi. brim, though either shajsi may he varied by rolling back the brim on one or both sides or by rising it with a band eau. For those who have tired of straw there are tho smartest hats in white, gray or fawn felt, with a simple ribbou or scarf trimming. Velvet ribbon in widths varying from half an inch to two inches is much In demand iu the millinery world. The broad widths are used to foiin the quillings that encircle the low crowns of the new sailors, as well as for bows aud rosettes. Both fruit and flowers are to lie popular decorations for the early Autumn hat, and in the reds, deep greens and sere brown shades they are particularly sea.ouablu. Birds, too, are used and are admirably suited to the present flat style or trim ruing. Scptemlier Delineator. A. K. Voorhies Photo Supplies. 1 1 ssis1 A. E. Voophios 1. II. II A It T II & S O N.

The Verdict will be rendered M0 COFFEE HOUSES HERE. Flea Which Worked IWadlljr la Bast laa la Nut Taaa Vp la Ikt lell4 Slatrs. The coffee house Is a temperance substitute for the inn In England, saya (iunton's Maguiine. It furnishes, minus the intoxicating stimulants, similar social features, but It is tacked on to the same social habits thsttlie Inn developed. In this country those liuhits Here not formed by (lie saloon ..vperienee, and the attempt to estab lish the coffee house as a substitute fur the saloon necessarily lucks that aocinl Incentive which rkjsts In Eng land. The eotTee house here takcf on thr feature of the restaurant rather than cither the Herman beer garden or the English inn. The Aiuerieiins have never learned to go to there plneea for their leisurely intercourse and amusements and hence do not II nd it when colTce Is suh.tituted for beer, They have goue to the theaters or to tlie clubs for this social outlet. II Is, therefore, not surprising to the careful student of European and American tradition that the enffee housfl plan doea lint wurk in this roun try, though it worked nell In Eng land. To be successful, soelal and eco nomic as well as political Institutions must largely grow out of the habits, outturns aud derlret of the people. Tli ey cannot to any considerable ex tent be transplanted from oneeoiintry to another. THE NATURE OF COWS. Ilav Tkslr Llkss sad Ulsllkes aas At mA Times V.rr Mask I.Iks Hemaa Dslnea. "Cows have their likes and their dis likes," said Uia milkmaid to the suin msr boarder who waa curious to see evej-y part of the farm, according to the New York Tribune. "For Instance, a row admires a horse, and will stand and watch ons for a long time. She Is sort of timid about him, but she admires him just the same. Mie has a contempt lor a mule, and seems to lis amused by hi antics. Bogs she tolerates, that's all. And sheep, she hates. She will not eat grass where sheep have been. She hates dogs, too, hut will tolerate the shepherd dog, became she knows she simply has to, and that the shepherd dog will not bile her. "Cattle go wild nt being let into a fresh pasture," added the milkmaid. "It seema to go to their heads. Esch is nfniid thst the other has got a bet ter feeding place I him herself, and tries to drive her neighbor away." "Then there is a good del. I of human nature in the cow, after all," mused the summer boarder, who hud studied a year or two nt a university, and aas given to phlloaophlenl reflections. "Well, I should smile," answered the milkinsld. "A single row, with a rulf will boss a whole herd of steers," anil. swinging her puil over her arm, she went down to the milking pens. Bought that suit for f.l. 35 at Welch's (.'losing-out sale. Other storws are asking lift for the same thing. KODAKS COURIER ussa H.LVoorhies : Photo OPINION later. The Women Know Beet. Much comment has been caused by the official reports of the United States and Canadian governments, in which are presented the evidences of the superior strength, purity and wholcsomoness of the Royal Baking Powder. It la trne that the good housewife looks upon commondat ions of the Royal Baking Powder from scientists ana official sources snch as these very ranch like "the g'ldlng of refined geld." Her practical experience long 'since taught hor iu the most f convincing way the great usefulness and superior ity of the ; Koyal .artlole. A higher proof than this she does not want and cannot have. Yet it Is pleasant for her to realize that the facts established by these great competitive testa, these sclentiAo examlnationf made nnder di rection of tho Government, exactly parallel those she had before . worked out in her own common-sense, practi cal way. ' " .' " It does not appear that any baking powder, when presented in competi tion with the Royal, either at the Government tests or before World's Fair Juries, has ever received favorjor award over the Royal or made an equal showing In purity, strength or whole somenoss. , , , OREGON'S blue: ribbon State Fair SALEM September 14-19, 1903 The greatest Exposition and Live Stock Show on the Pa clue Coast.
