Corvallis Times. Official Paper of Benton County COKV-AIXIS, OKEGqiT.'MAB. 14, 1903. THE BRYAN BOLT. There are loud predictions of a "bolt that it is claimed W. J. Bryan will lead out of the next democratic national convention, provided he cannot control it. It ought to be safe to conclude that nothing of the sort will happen, even though Mr Bryan fail at every point in shap ing the platform to be made next year. If Mr. Bryan has done one thing more than another, it has been to denounce those democrats who failed to support the democrat ic nominee in 1896 and 1900. His attitude towards these people has been so marked in .its hostility, that for the sake of consistency he cannot under similar conditions do exactly what he has so persistently arid so often condemned them for doing. ' It has never been charged, nor is it likely to be charged, even by his bitterest political opponents that Mr Bryan is inconsistent. He is tomorrow steadfast in the be liefs and purposes that he proclaim--ed yesterday, and if bolting a nom inee of his party were held by him as wrong for others, he is the man to hold it wrong for himself - to do the same thing.

The Commercial Review of Port land would smother the aspirations of Philomath for a flouring mill. Here is what the paper has to say about it: , , Philomath, . Or., is ambitious to possess a flouring mill, and a com pany may be formed to build one. The citizens would like' to enter in to - correspondence with a practical miller of some business Qualifica tions, as to taking an interest. C. J H, Newth can be addressed, -a j : The above item appeared in a re cent issue of the Northwestern Mil 'lerj 1 We would be very sorry if any intelligent mill man would attempt to put up a mill there.. At present there are enough mills surrounding this place to supply ten times, the present population. The valley at present has over 75 mills and if one krff of them would close down and rsfsent to the junk shop the other half would have hard work running all the year. . The Willamette Val ley formerly raised from 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 bushels of wheat; now they barely raise one-half. .Farm ers are diversifying more each year, and it is reported that several , first class mills will move their plants to : locations where more wheat is rais ed.

Marriage of Dr. George Ainslie of Portland, and Miss Leona Smith. The marriage of Dr. George Ainslie of Portland and Miss Leona Smith of Corvallis, was solemnized at the Presbyterian church Inurs day forenoon. The ceremony took place at 1 1 o'clock in the presence of a church-full, of invited guests. Im mediately after the ceremony the wedding party with, fifty guests, partook of a luncheon at the Smith home, and thereafter Mr. and Mrs. Ainslie took the- Westside train for Portland, whence they leave at once for Europe, for a six months', tour. In all its appointments, the wed ding was a delightful affair. - The only decorations in the church were about the altar ' and organ, where potted plants were massed with pleasing effect. The seats, usually arranged as to ' form . an aisle up each side, were disposed in such a way that they made one broad aisle up the center. These, when the hour for the ceremony arrived, were well filled with friends and members of the families of the bride and groom. - ; The groom occupied a place be hind a screen at the left of the altar. Here, with his best man, Dr. Rue ter of The Dalles, and with the officiating ministers, Dr. Thompson and Rev. Carrick, he awaited the approach of the bride and her party. At the organ was Mordaunt Good nough, and as be began the . wed ding march, the bridal party slowly approached the altar sthrough -the broad aisle. The personel of the party was, Miss Helen Goss. of Portland, maid of honor; , Miss Mabel Withy combe of Corvallis, and Miss. Ainslie, sister , of the groom, bridesmaids; Clifton Mc Arthur of Portland, . and Grant Elgin of Corvallis, ushers; and the bride on the arm of her .: father, John Smith. . At the first appear ance of the party the officiating ministers had left the screen J and taken positions in front of the altar, and as the party advanced, the groom and best - man, approached. The attendants, when they met the groom swung off to the Tight and left, leaving bride and groom in the center, the father of the bride standing at her immediate left, and the best man at the groom's right- At a signal, the audience arose, and remained standing throughout the ceremony. The familiar voice-of Dr. Thomp son was first to break . the hush, when the strains of the wedding march had died away. Beginning with, the usual , : inquiry . of who knows aught why this man and this woman should not be ioined in wedlock, and concluding with a delightful -benediction . on the troth newly plighted in wedding vows, Dr. Thompson' s performance of the ceremony, under the rites of the Episcopalian ring service, was beautifully impressive. While the bride and groom kneeled, and after Dr. Thompson, with a hand on the head of each, had pronounced them j man and wife, Rev." Carrick added impressiveness to the occasion with an earnest prayer. - Throughout the ceremony, the organist . render ed a refrain to the words in pian-. issmo strains from his instrument. The beautiful appearance of the bride was a subject of universal comment.- She was - attired in white silk crepe. the veil being fastened to the hair with a pin of diamonds and ,- unpolished opals, the gift of the groom. Her bou quet was lilies of the valley, -Of the attendants, : the maid of honor and the bridesmaids were in white and carried bouquets of pink roses, except Miss Ainslie, whose boquet was carnations, The gen tlemen were in morninsr dress.,- ,1. At the Smitn Home, ' wnere a weddinsr luncheon was served to a large number of guests aftet the ceremony, the decorations -were simole. They consisted of pink and white, with a touch of green. The presents . were displayed in the front parlor, and in the . hall were small packages of cake, for ' guests to carry away, The-, tables, were spread in the dining room and bak parlor. . During the progress of the luncheon, a number of congratula tory telegrams from distant friends were received and read aloud. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Ainslie, af ter their return from Europe will be in Portland, where Dr, Ainslie is engaged in the practice of his profession. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith. She is an alumnus of the Oree-on Agricultural Colleee and is widely and deservedly popular in Corvallis and Portland social circles. 1 A dinner to the bridal party was ffiven bv Miss Martna .biscner ana Miss Mabel ' With vcombe at the Fischer home Wednesday- evening The guests were, the . bride and groom, their attendants and , Miss Mabel Tones. Nine courses were served, the company spending three hours at the table. The de corations were suggestive of lover's knots and were in pirnc ana; wnire, THE SIGHT DENIED HIM. Of His Long Absent Sons, and He Died ; Funeral of a Newcomer. . Under circumstances peculiarly distressing, William Taylor, a new comer, died at the home of Samuel Dixon near Philomath Monday. The old gentleman was a veteran of 83 years and three months. Less than two weeks ago, in company with a son, he arrived in Corvallis from Kansas. For several years, two other sons have resided near Goldendale, Washington, and the father has long been possessed with a desire to see them. He had said, if he could behold his boys but once more, he would be ready to die. But the sight was denied him, and he went to the grave disappoint ed. At Grants, on the way west, the father and son stopped off and journeyed into Klickitat connty, Washington, where the other boys resided. On arrival they, learned that the latter were in quarantine with smallpox, and that they could not be seen. The disappointment was a heavy blow to the father, and was the beginning of the end. A severe cold contracted on the , trip, finished the work, and from the Methodist church at Philomath Tuesday, the aged stranger in a strange land was buried by strange hands. The service was conducted by Rev. Ware, assisted by Bishop Castle. Rev. Joseph Taylor, of Phil omath, is a son of the deceased. William Taylor was a native of Canada, .where he was born in 18 19. He resided for ten years each in Ohio, Illinois and Iowa, and was a resident of Kansas from 1876 until he started for Benton county a few weeks ago. -. .. AWFUL HIJAT THERE. In Summer Time Experience of a Fat Man Who Couldn't Stand it. It was a midsummer afternoon in Arizona. A torrid sun shone down with a merciless glare and insufferable heat. A long pas senger train rushed madly, west ward over the desert prairies, and the gusts of fierce, heat that stream ed in through the open windows at last caused the latter to be shut down. The metal on the car seats bad become so hot that to touch with . the - hand, meant to be burned. ::i'v" - Suffering was terrible among the passengers, but a fact manufactur er from "the East was the ; most af fected. At last he swooned away. And then after remarking about the heat of the terrible country, he died.- ' J ; . - ...:'CV. At the next town the train stop ped, and they took the manufact urer to a crematory tor the last sad rites. They shoved him inside the furnace, and after a proper time, opened the door to see how he was getting along. ; Immediately he half arose in, his coffin and called out: "Shut that door; you re let ting in too much draught. I'm getting chilly. If the yarn is true, Uregonians ought never to complain of weather conditions. , . NEW DEEDS.
