Student. Twaaiii 1894. in that disastrous year And statesmen grand and glorious were fathered from afar aoil near. The oliject of this gathering of the nations of the earth. Wat to rid them of the funia to which natare had given birth. Taw apeakf. t Art day were cd by ke aoere, Aa4 the walls resoMded with their elo quence aa their fates they did deplore; Each oue had a reason for tbe famine iu his land. It wm caused, in his opinion, by tbe op posing party's baud. And thus tliey talked and argued, but the remedy none coulii wee. Said one, " hat a set of paupers we all have grown to be! And if you'll only pay atteutiou the retsoti I will show King Fashion, in his glory, with his scythe comes forth to mow, And those who behind the times have fal len iu the baying of their clothes. Are the ones who fall before him every where be goes. Now, to keep apace with Fashion in his ever changing speed, With the presant state of prices, and still our families feed. Is a greater strain on our pocket books than we're able to withstand, And consequently, as you see, we've formed this pauper's baud." Then, amit the rounds of cheers, the speaker took his seat. And all agreed that at last they'd found the question they must meet. Then from a distant corner, an old man arose and said, "If this be the reason that the world doth cry for bread, Then let us all be merry for the problem we can solve. And our partnership with famine at once we will lissilvr; Aud au era of prosperity must dawn upon our night. If, when king Fashion comes, we'll only do the right. Now, to keep up with the fashion and still have plenty at our door. We must do our trading at J. M. Nolan's store. If the very latest fashions we are longing to procure. With the very best of quality we can any where secure, With the very lowest prices to be found throughout the land; In the very line of goods that are always in demand; Iu everything that man e'er wears, from hat clean down to sock, Let us at once examine J. M. Nolan's new spring stock." Then the wise old codger dissappeared again from view, And everyoue in the assembly from Amer ican to Jew, Agreed that the vexing question by the old man had been solved, So this grand and noble body was very soou dissolved, And each individual member homeward took his wav. Rejoicing in haling solved the question of - the'day.TAv- Chas. Chandler. See Nolan's all wool spring suits at $8.50, $10.00, aud $12.00. Hard Times Prices.

Don't buy- inferior green lumber, but call, ev erybody and satisfy yourselves that we will give both quality and price. W. T. PEET. STORED THAT ADULTERY CASE. A Demurrer to the Indictment Sustained. The State Will Appeal. The court room was well filled last Saturday morning with an audience of men who came to hear the argument on the demur rer to the indictment in the case of the state vs. J. M. Applewhite and Lucinda A. Kenyon. None of ihe racy facts which rumor says will come out during the trial, were alluded to by the at torneys, but the splendid argu ments pro and con of the motion in hand held the attention of the crowd. District Attorney Con don's plea was masterly and has been the recipient of many com pliments. He reviewed the de cisions presented by Judge Bry sou for the defense, and argued that in the Iowa cases the judge-i apparently based their decisions upon the presence of the article "the" before the words '-husband or wife" in the first sentence of the act in the criminal statute of that state relating to adultery which statute was identical jn wording willi a similar statuteiin Oregon, until 1891, when our legislature amended this law by, among other things, ommitting the word "the" and Mr. C. claimed t hat under the present law, the husband or wife of either of the guilty parties could prosecute both. Judge Bryson maintained that this construction was not the proper one to place upon the statute and so favorably impressed the court with his able argu ment that the demurrer was sus tained in the following words: "These two sections have never been passed upon or disponed of by the supreme court of our state. There have been anum ber of Iowa reports cited,, construing; these sections to hold that this prosecntion can . only be made by the husband or wife of the defendant. There does not seem to be any question about the construction of the Iowa statutes. This statute has been construed by the supreme court of that state from which our statute is copied running down for forty years, and this conrt is not in clined to place a different construction from that placed upon the' statute by the supre-r.e court of Iowa. To overrule this demurrer aud proceed to trial would certain ly be assuming a grave responsibility know ing that the case would be carried to the supreme court, and would be incurring an unnecessary expense. It can now be tried with but very little expense upon an ap peal and this court does not feel warranted in overruling the demurrer." That ground for the demurrer was based upon section 1859, of Hill's code, which is as follows: "A prosecution for the crime of adultery shall not be commenced, except upon the complaint of husband or wife, or (if) the crime be committed with an unmarried fe male under the age of twenty years, upon the complaint of the wife, or of a parent or guardian of such unmarried female, and within one year of the time of committing the crime, or the time when the same shall come to the knowledge of such husband or wife or parent or gurdian. When the crime of adultery is committed between a married woman and au unmarried man, the man shall be deemed guilty of adultery also, aud be punished accordingly." W. S. McFadden appeared for the defendant. Mrs. Kenyon, who was released upon the motion of the state's attorney to enable her to testify. Corvallis Cycle Club. A meeting of cyclists was held in the law chambers of Hon. Jno. Burnett on Wednesday evening last There was quite a good at tendance of cyclists, who,' aside from the regular business of the club, have decided on a positive step for the betterment of Benton county's roads, and the definition of the privileges and prerogatives of icvclists. The influence of this new organization will oon be ap parent. Ralston Cox. a former resident of Corvallis, has beeu appointed postmaster at Vancouver. Wash ington. This is a good office and a good appointment. R. T. Rogers was one of the Ga zette visitors last Monday. Mr. Rogers came here from Nebraska last fall with his family and locat ed on a farm near Monroe. He served through the rebellion with distinction, and until recently was connected with Uncle Sam's Indi an scouts. He is well acquainted with W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) having been associated with him on many scouting expeditions. Go to the Delmonico for the best meal in the city. Willamette Valley Attachments. Since last December the steam ship Willamette Valley has been lying at her dock in San Francisco covered with attachments and un der the care of the sheriff. On the 12th inst. a decision was ren dered dissolving the attachments of D. R. Vaughn, Crocker & Co. and others, amounting to about $13,200. Suits for coal bills ag gregating $S,000 and an attach ment run by William Laird Law for $26,000 for receiver's certifi cates issued under the Hogg man agement in part payment of the ship, were also dissolved. Some time ago an order was granted by Judge Fuilerton giving Mr. Law permission to interplead in these suits and institute foreclosure pro ceedi gs of the lien he held against the vessel by virture of the receiver's certiiates. Al though the termination of these suits releases the steamer from the custody of the state officials she is yet in the hands of the U. S. marshal on account of libel pro ceedings brought by creditors for supplies furnished the ship ag gregating $11,000. Chicago Lady Quartette. Read what the St. Paul Daily Globe has to say about the enter tainment to be given next Thurs day evening at the chapel under the auspices of the O. A. C: "The Chicago Lady Quartette is composed of artists. They gave an exquisite concert last evening before a goodly audience. The selections were varied, including the simple melodies with the classical, and the execution was simply superb. Encore followed encore with' certain sequence, for the charming young vocalists won the heart of every auditor in their - ery firet effort, 'The Lady Bird-,' and the- roi'uset? to release" it soul thus imprisoned until the last number was sung, and it was fit ting aud appropriate, 'Home, Sweet Home.' There were solos as well as quartettes, and the fact was exemplified that each member of the quartette is a finisfied solo artist." Cornelia Neltnon, queen of im personators, will also assist with the program. The Chicago Iuter oeean speaks of her as follows: 'Miss Neltnor did remarkably well and received a solid re-call and-the h arty attention and ap plause of the audience. There was a perfect ease and grace of manner, free from strain and ap parent mechanism, and a refresh ing individuality characterizing their efforts." Reserved seats 50 and 75 cents. Of Interest to Horsemen. The Democrat mentioned an accident to the mare belonging to Mr. J. A. dimming by which a leg was broken. The animal was in foal, and it was found that the plaster cast on the leg was not suf ficient to sustain the heavy weight of the horse. It was desired to save the colt if possible, and, a the fate of the mare was practical ly decided, chances were taken and an operation was performed, which, so far as known now, is the first on record for a like case. The Caesarian section was performed by Dr. E. L. Irvine. Dr. H. E. Beers and Mr. D. O. Woodworth The life of the mare was sacrificed for the colt, which was saved, though respiration failed to appear for fully five minutes after being taken from her mother, and was only produced by artificial means. The colt, a fine looking animal with the marks of her sire, is alive and doing well, a triumph of skill ful surgery. The little fellow is of peculiar interest as she comes from a fine strain of blood, being sired by Memo, a lull brother to Frou Frou, having the yearling record, by Sidney, one of the best progen itors in the United States. If she lives, as she undoubtedly will, she deserves to become a Caesar among trotters. Democrat. Writing from Vacaville, Calif., under date of the 1,6th inst., to the Gazette, E. C. Crystal, a former Corvallisite, says he is pleased with the paper and that he will continue to take it. He also says: "You people up there are all miss ing a great thing by not taking in the midwinter fair. It is simply immense and I wish all my friends in Corvallis might see it, for it is well worth the trip. The electri cal fountain is a thing of beauty and a iov forever." The letter closes by wishing the G. O. P. suc cess in the coming election. TREE PLANTING DAY. Observed by Corvallis Schools With Appropriate Exercises. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the usual out door exer cises which characterize the ob servance of Arbor day, was dis pensed with, and, although the rain was pouring down in torrents, this did not deter the little ones from assembling in the public school building last Friday after noon where two hours was pleas antly spent with recitations, songs and other ceremonies in keeping with the occasion. Recently State School Supeiintendeiit Mc Elroy sent rircular lelterd to teachers throughout the slate call ing their attention to the fact that Arbor day had proved an ex cellent educational agent iu many particulars. He notes that it has awakened among all classes children, teach ers, parents and people in general a greater appreciation of the value of trees. Greater interest and co-operation on the part of parents has been secured, and iu many instances special and valu able results have been obtained in the organization of local clubs for the preservation and extension of Oregon's famous forests. School children have been encouraged by their parents and teacheis to im prove and beautify the school grounds, and to care for school property in general. ' It has had a tendency to check the extensive and destructive tires which annu ally sweep large areas of the finest forests in the world, those of the Coast mountains, Cascade range and Blue mountains sf eastern OrfMjo-i. ... i. -" The act which requires the ob servance of Arbor day was ap proved by Governor .Pennoyer, February 15, 1889, and is as follows: "Section 1 The second Friday, iu the afternoon, in April of each year, shall here after be known throughout this state as Ar bor day. "Sec. 2 In order that the children in our public schools shall assist in the work of adoruing the school grounds with trees and to stimulate the minds of children toward the benefits of the preservation and perpetuation of our forests and the growing of timber, it shall be the duty of the au thorities in every public school district in this state to assemble the pupils in their charge on the above day in tbe school build ing, or elsewhere as they may deem proper, aud to provide for and conduct under the genetal supervision of city superintendents, teachers and directors, or other school au thorities having the general charge aud oversight of the public schools in each city or district, to have and bold fcuch exercises or shall tend to encourage the planting. protection and preservation of trees aud shrub, and an acquaintance with tbe best methods to be adopted to accomplish such results. "Sec. 3 The superintendent of public instruction shall, from year to year, under aud bv direction of the state board of edu cation, have power to prescribe from time to time a course of exercises and instruc tion in .the subjects hereinbefore stated, which shall be adopted aud observed by the said public school authorities on Arbor day. "Sec. 4 As this is a matter of great im portance to the public schools of the state, this et shall be in force from and after its approval by the governor." The scholars, teachers and friends and patrons of the school gathered in the lower hallway of the public school building at 1:30 p. m. -"Old Glory" - was floating to the breeze" overhead and the festoons of evergreens, profusion ot wild flowers aud potted plants, and the holiday attire of the children gave to the scene the ap pearance of a regular May day picnic in full blast. On no simi lar occasion in the past has the building presented so beautiful an appearance as on the day in ques tion, and at no time has the pub lic been better entertained than on the day in question. The ex ercises began with music by the seventh grade, "Song of Dedi cation" and was well received. Lilian Friendly followed with a recitation, "Planting the Apple Tree," which was excellent. Then the little midgets from the first grade recited in concert "The Lit tle Runaways" in a manner that would have done credit to far older scholars. A recitation, "Lottie's Tree Talk," by Lucy Cline was also a creditable effort Following th s came a novel class exercise by the third grade in the way of an "Arbor Day Acrostic," "Swinging 'neath the old apple tree,'? showing considerable train ing, was then rendered by mem bers of the eighth grade. "Histor ical Trees" was the title of an in structive class exercise given by the fourth grade. The fifth grade followed with a union exercise en titled "Planting ,Trees." Miss Gertrude Cauthorn then gave a recitation "Arbor Day" that was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Miss Turney of the sixth grade had perhaps given the matter more time and consideration than the other teachers since she had. writ ten a very appropriate exercise that was nicely rendered by her class. Rev. Kantner was then introduced and for fifteen minutes spoke to the scholars regarding the teachings of Arbor day and the many object lessons to be learned from the trees. The pro gram was completed by singing America in which five hundred voices joined making the old school building fairly shake from foundation to dome. An adjourn ment was taken to the campus where two trees were planted, one in commemoration of their former teacher, Miss Spencer, who was a great favorite among the pupils and the other in honor of Henry W. Longfellow, whose poems are read with so much delight both by the old and young. Random Shots. If you are a lover of good coffee, try the Delmonico. E. E.

No Contests for Nominations at the Democratic State Convention. The following report of the dem ocratic convention at Astoria iif take form the Oregonian of Wed nesday: "There is harmony in the demo cratic ranks of the state of Oregon. It is the sort of harmony that exists when the lamb and the lion lie down together with the lamb inside of the lion. The coocoos are victorious, and the kids are, figur atively speaking, wiped off the face of the earth. So complete was their rout that their crushed spirits never rose sufficiently for even mild protest against the platform that eulogized their arch enemy, Cleveland, and gave a vicious swipe at the great and good Pu noyer. Killlether was there am delegate from Umatilla county, he having secured a proxy that en abled him to air his eloquence, and while he met with disastrous defeat at the Portland primaries, he had more to say on the floor al ' the convention than any other man present, and soared away off into the re dms of poesy time after time. The convention as a whole lacked many of the beergarden features that made the last democratic state convention famous, but at times there were interesting little diver sions that furnished some excite ment for tho crowd. Captaiu Mof -fett furnished the first of these, when he opposed the uoruinalie of liolman for chairman, on Isje grounds of his being wrong oa Ite money question, accusing him of being associated with the banking interests, aud in other ways being, for "political and non-political" rnoenna unfit 4-r t Ae ataii IVHOU,!! Ulf Mb VV.J ISiitlUO Vl IUV deliberations of a demcratic con vention. He was promptly called down by Cox, of Multnomah, who vigorously demanded that he re tract what he had said. The captain gracefully apologized, but the slight wrangle started continu ed until Ferguson, of Yamhill, de livered a phillipic about the men wearing Jefferson Club badges act ing in such an undemocratic man ner. He concluded his remarki with a significant glance atj.the Multnomah delegation, and said that all of the row seemed to come from where the badges were thick est. This brought J. J. Kelly to his feet, and in his usual vigorous style he stated that any man who accused the wearers of those badges of coming to the conven tion as a clique or clan was guilty of falsehood. Kelly's threatening attitude seemed to restore peace, and as the seemingly objectionable candidate had withdrawn, the squabble ended. For governor, Mr. Worthington, of Klamath county, nominated H. B. Conipson, of Klamath. J-Juston,of Washington county, nominated W. R. Galloway,, of Yamhill county. The ballot re sulted as follows: Galloway 130: Compson 88. ' Galloway's nomina tion was made unanimous. The delegates of the first and second congressional districts then organ ized and proceeded to nominate congressmen. J. K. Weatherford was nominared in the first district, and J. H. Raley,in the second, both by acclamation. In the evening the state ticket wb completed as follows: Secre tary of state, Charles Nickell, of Jacksonville; treasurer. Thomas L. Davidson, of Marion county; su preme judge, A. S. Bennett, of The Dalles; attorney general, W H. Holmes, ot Salem;'' superinten dent of public instruction, D. V. S. Reed, of Eugene; state printer. John O'Brien, of Portland."

Tbe new residence of ' Charles Blakeslee is neariug completion. It is a handsome structure and will add much to the attractiveness of the district in which it is located. The plans were drawn by W. T. Huffman under whose efficient management the building has been brought to so early a completion. District Attorney Condon com pleted his labors before the circuit court, and went home Monday. Aa his term of office expires the first of July this will probably be hisj last official trip to Benton county. Mr. Condon has proved an efficient officer and during his .career has made many friends. -
