The late session of the Chautauqua assembly at Gladstone came out #500 behind. Prof. J. J. Kraps, in his capital sum mer normal at Salem, has about 90 teachers in attendance, G. L. Hawkins, the Independence marble cutter, has placed an excellent monument over the grave of Rev. Wm. Gay in the Odd Fellows cemetery at Dallas, says the Itemizer. There is concerted action among col lege presidents of the state looking toward reform of the rules governing college athletics. The aim is to bar pro fessionalism, and to confine membership to bona fide students. Three Oregon text books are among those adopted by the commission. They are Mrs Eve Emery Dye’s “Stories of Oregon,’’ Wm. R. Lord's book on or nithology and Mrs. Fannie Hardy Eck- strom's “Bird Book ’’ This is justifiable state pride. The state agricultural college dis bursed last year $61,681.24. Its income for the time was {60,275.60. The sala ries paid to about thirty members of the faculty aggregate $40,458.65. President Gatch is paid $3,000, and Dr. Withy- combe $2,000. The average for the others is about $950. The experts, Clark and Buchanan, have completed the books of Polk county after laboring 41 days. No large errors were found. Their work dated back to the time the court house burned. The county's indebtedness is just about off set by its assets, and the income exceeds the expense. The experts were paid $500 for their work.

Coughs that have resisted «11 other treatment for years, have yielded to this remedy and perfect health been restored.

A paragraph concerning one of the oldest pianos in Oregon recently went the rounds of the press. The owner of this ancient instrument, Mary H. Star- mer, of Willard, Oregon, has since hunt ed up its history. She furnishes the fol lowing synopsis of it: The piano was bought by the late Dr. A. M. Belt, of Sa lem, in Boston as early as 1854, and shipped around the Horn to Portland, thence by steamer to Salem. It was manufactured by Chickering and is numbered 2156, so it must have been made when the Chickering piano factory was comparatively a new concern. Mrs. Hulette of Salem, a daughter of Dr. Belt, says it and one other were, she believes, the first pianos brought to Oregon. The other was burned several years ago, leaving Mrs. Starmer’s the oldest in the state. She says: “My father, the late R. C. Geer, bought the piano for me in December, 1869. It has a rosewood and mahogany case. It has always been well cared for, and make« good music now.” Mrs. Starmer is ready to answer any correspondence in regard to this old historical relic.
