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. He was a

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

southern of this presbytery. On Sat

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

compliments on the excellent speech
that he delivered. Mr. Whitney Is

WATERLOO TRUTH. " '
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.
