The Bapvlat church wiu,' crowded last Bunday evening with an expectant audience, to hear the pastor, Hev. La mar, discus "Tbe worst tiling In Lebanon." The preaoher's auuject .waa "ail." f iiiMM in in ItatKl Bird no one sin in particular. He handled theaubjoflt well, and the au dience was well pleased with the dis course. T. Graham, a prominent cltlien of Corvallis, who for 27 years Mat been engaged in the drug business (here, died Monday after a brief illness. The deceased was aged 66 years.

Barrett, formerly of this place but now of Medford, and member of the contracting firm of Butler, Barrett A Stewart, has about completed ar rangements for opening up a brick yard on his 10-acre tract of land In northwest Medford.

The democratic and republican pri maries will be held to-morrow, at which time delegates to the county conventions will be chosen. The re publicans seem to be divided among all the candidates; each having his following. Hie democrats have no Vahdidutes in the field, except Mr. Garlaud forjudge, who will have the united support of the two Lebanon precincts, and a large vote Iu the neighboring precincts. The way some hoodlums misbehaved at the Baptist church last Sunday night is a shame and disgrace to a civ ilized community. The good people of Lebanon do not have to stand this misbehavior in churches. If It Is con tinued all they will have to do is to swear out a complaint, and the officers of the law will do the rest. The Ex press hopes to see some of the boys that misbehave in church given the benefit of the full extent ot the law. Hirum Baker told ua yesterday that he has made a very large number of sales of the Fcathcrhone ccrsets lately. Mr. Baker said that he was satisfied the cause of so many sales was the ad vertising of those ennuis in this paper, thus letting so many people know the value of these popular corsets. Tnc manufacturers guarantee the corsets, but out of all these sales only one has been returned, aud the house refunded the money to Mr. Baker at once. This shows that the manufacturers are re liable. J. Bouse, a miner near Gold Hill, was hung in effigy recently, by his employees, for not paying them. He has 80 to 100 men constantly at work but had failed to settle, hence the trouble. Last week the citizens of that place found an effigy of J. H. 'iriffls, their town recorder, hanging in the place where that of Bouse was suspended a short time before. Mr. Urlffis armed himself with a rifle and cut it down as soon aa the discovery was made. It is claimed that persona incensed over bis conduct in the Bouse affair did the work. Oregon Presbytery of the Cumber laud Presbyterian church witi convene iu this city April 9, at 7:30 p. m. The opening sermon will be preached by the retiring moderator, Rev. I. M. Boyles, of Wilboil. Ministers and elders will be present from thecburches of the Presbytery. Woodburn Is the northern limit and Sodavllle the southern of this presbytery. On Sat urday delegates from various C. E. societies will be present, and the even ing will be given up to a Christian Eudeavor rally. An interesting pro gramme is being arranged. C. B. Montague's lecture on Shak- speare, last Friday evening, was much enjoyed by those who heard it. The audience was not a large one, but it must be remembered that the more ignorant classes do not appreciate lit erature of such a high order aa Shak- speare'B writings, and therefore, with others who stayed away for other reasons, were not present. The audi euoe made up iu intelligence what It lacked in numbers. Mr. Montague is thoroughly familiar with the writings of the famous author, as many of our citizens well know, and he handled the subject iu a masterly manner, Quite a large number of democrats met at Union hall last evening, at the n eeting of the democratic club. Hons. Wuitney AllA j. p. Oalbraith, and Matt Scott, of Albany, were pres ent and all made very interesting speeches, dwelling on the extravagance of the hist legislature and also In coun ty affairs. Judge Whitney deserves speciul mention, a id he received many compliments on the excellent speech that he delivered. Mr. Whitney Is spoken of for the lcglslutue, and the Fjji'itKBS would be glad to see him elected to that position, us we believe he would be the rlht mau in the right -dace. After the visiting brothers bad spok,"". Hon. M. A, Miller aud Atty.

" ' BY M'QINTY'8 GHOST. We are informed I hat the "Parson's scalp Is about to be hung In the war lodge of the town council. The drug store at this place Is doing a rushing business in the perfumery and face whitewash trade. Home good ex-champion is wanted to "coach" the new council so they can hold their meetings in harmony with the rules of Hoyle. The ladles of the Evangelical churoh at this place gave a supper Saturday night. About $16 was the result of the feast, which was very good for a small village. Everybody that par took was satisfied and all enjoyed themselves. Run Over by a Steer. How a beef steer, being driven through the streets ran over a little girl, and considerate u of what a nar row escape she had, has been much discussed In town a lew days past, says tbe Corvallis Times. The child was the ten-year-old daughter of William Brlscow, and waa with other children in the vicinity of the public school building. When near the children the steer made a dash for a band of cattle 111 the vicinity, making straight for the children. Tho little girl tried to escape but the boviue ran directly over her. She waa knocked down, her face was covered with mud, but she was not injured. One of tbe feet of the crazy brute struck the ground within an Inch of her upturned face, making her escape without injury al most a miracle. At Horae. An amusing story is told of the late Principal Pirie, of Aberdeen, Scotland. Just after "at home" cards became fashionable, one of tbe driest speci mens of the old professional regime was surprised to receive a missive which read as follows: "Principal and Mrs. Pirie present their compliments to Professor T., and hope he is well. Principal and Mrs. Pirie will be 'at borne' on Thursday evening at eight o'clock." This was something which evidently required an answer, but the recipient of it was quite equal tn the occasion. He wrote: "Professor T. returns the compliments of Principal and Mrs. Pirie, and Informs them that be is very well. Professor T. is glad to bear that Principal aud Mrs. Pirie will be at home ou Thursday evening at eight o'clock. Professor T. will also be at home." New York Tribune. A Jolly Good Time. John P. Miller W. It. C. participated in another one of their aeries of bean- bakes on Friday last, which resulted in the members of Post and Corps hav ing a lolly good time, especially when the old soldiers were turned loose to help themselves to baked beans, and all other good things which help to make the inner man feel good natured. There were about 50 of Post and Corps, who partook freely. One feature of the supper was a cake of red, white aud blue, with "Old Glory" on the top, made of frosting. One that was there and k.nows.
