That the O. F. company means bus

A lightning tooth extractor has

physician. His prices "are extortionate,
and he is pronounced by all as a first
class bilk, and jieople should look out
for him. As he is traveling uorthwaid,
we would advise our readers to give
him a wide birth. In other words,
patronize your home dentist, aud run
no risks. This may be applied to every
other profession and trade.
Railroad Commissioners, Waggoner
f and Slater have been in Albany dur-
1 ing this week investigating complaints
recently made that more was charged
for a short haul thau a long haul on
freight in Linn county. The com
plaint is specifically that overcharge
are being made on grain shipments lm.
tween Tangent and Albany. The fuels,
as ascertained by the commissioners,
are that a charge of ?lrt per oar load Is
made by the O. & C. for M heat from
Tangent to Albany, while from the
same place to Portland 'only fJO Is
charged. A test ease will bo made of
the matter, and it is probable that a
shipment of grain will lm made for
this purpose wHhiu a few days. The
matter will come before the oommU.

they were well Informed and usually

Often ha the thought occurred to
many, how and w hen did the name
given to the woman's movement In the
temperance work originate. The fol
lowing extract will explain:
The taking down of the heavey stone
wall's of old William Street M. E.
church, Delaware, Ohio, Is glim to-day
(May u.) Thl Plain oldclitirch lit
con ncct Ion with the Ohio WYsloyiin
University, ha probably sent out
more missionaries to every part of the
world than nny other church In the
denomination. Hut that fact would
not entitle It demolition to a notice In
the temperance paper. To u it will
be Interesting to learn (hut the first
state organization of the woman' teni
perntie crusade was formed In the
church. Thew In May 174, mi orgiinU
Ing rVimmittt e created by the Cincin
nati 1 convention the April previous,
mot and prepared a constitution ami
by-lawn lor an Ohio State Union. Mr.
F. XV. Loiter and Mr. L. K. Lavltt
were uienilr of thl committee of
which the w riter was chairman, ll
was in thl church and at this time the
chairman holding the constitution In
her hand, asked a name for thl union.
The name Woman' Temperance Union
did Hot seem to express the scope of
w hat was designed, and while the la
dles hesitated, Mm. Nclllo ald, "put
in christian." It was adopted, and
the name. Woman' Christian Tetn-
Lporaneo Union la gan it course around
ihe world. At that moment front the
left side of the old alter whore the de
liberating group were gathered, the
committee had Uceti empowered to call
a convent Ion to discuss and adopt or
wjeet it work. The convention Was
culled the 17lh of the following June,
It wa a large assembly of eminent
men and women. It adopt d the con
stitution and by-laws with Ihe name,
Woman' Christian TemiHTaiice Un
ion, prseiitcd 0H'bv the simm!ttee,1
The following NoveiutKT tit Cleve
land, a National Union wa formed
which took the name giveif to that of
the Ohio State Union, the National
Woman' Christian Temperance Un
ion. The local union of Linn, Marlon
and Lano counties are requested to
make preparation for th district con
vention which meet at ltrownsvllle.
