Ira Hunter has returned to Cor vallis from a visit to relatives In oth er Oregon counties, and will start In a day r-r two for ble Watervljle bomp. Mr. Hunter reports that there Is little hope for Improvement In tba condi tion of bis wUe, who has bnen partial ly paral3zd for a considerable time. .

The party will number in all, abont 30 persons; and all will, when they start, have Oorvallis for their destination. The Initiative In loglrlatlm Is pro posed in the case of the local option laws. Petitions demanding that the people be given opportunity to vote , on the law at the June election, are in circulation a'l over Oregon, and have reached Oorvallis. Eight thousand signatures are required, of which Oor vallis and vicinity is to furnish 300. At noon yesterday, over 200 names had been secured after a canvass of but a portion of Ooi vallis.

P. railroad station, and con cerning them, they tell this on Agent Farmer. He owned and cared ftr these flowers. He determined to edd to their beauty by application of fer tilizer. He bought what be understood to be fertilizer, and made liberal appli cations. Yesterday, amid a profusion of flowing and filling tears, he carted bis flowers away. They were all dead. The fertilizer was saltpetre. William Faber, the wealthy Alba ny brewer and hop speculator, died In Portland Thursday morning as a result of an operation for gallBtone.

He came to America from Germany 30 years ago and was at that time 20 years of age. His relatives in Germany are wealthy and prominent people. He was a member of the firm of Faber & Nela bop dealers, and has had business relations with all hop growers of Benton. Mr. Faber's death will be sincerely regretted by many acquaintances here, all of whom knew him as a generous and bonoiableman, and In every way companionable.

J With respect to '-Maloney's Wed ding" tonight, it is announced by the management that no more attractions are expected at the Opera house for some time. The wedding will make the third attraction in ten days whlcb is a swifter schedule than tbe new management of the playhouse expects to maintain. The purpbss 1b to pre sent a better class of attractions and only so many thereof as tbe ' average playgoer can afford. Tbe swifter pace of the present Is accidental and not designed. Three excellent compan ies happened along, about the same time, and all were accepted. Mr. Ma loney, therefore, in an Irish wedding suoh as CoTvallteltes will never eee again Is an opportunity that none can afford to'mies. tJBEE HTJSB4NJJpAD. Mrs. Martha Peet Courts' A Coryallis - Tragedy Recalled. -- Her Corvallis friends : have heard with regret of another sorrow that has . befallen Mrs. Martha Peet Coutts. formerly of Corvallis but now of Tipton, Iowa. ; Her . hus band, John H Coutts. while or a business visit to a neighboring town? died, of apoplexy on the evening of January 7th-.

March 27, 1901, He was ' 53 years of age ' at the time of his death. , i ' The passing of Mr. Coutts re calls a tragedy- in Corvallis. ' in which W. T. . Peet. the former husband of Mrs. ,Coutts lost his life. By- mistake, one sum mer morning, eight or nine years ago in a local drug store, he swal lowed a deadly dose ot : aconite. Within a few minutes the effects of the drug had passed beyond the remedies that were at once applied and the victim, suffering awful pain, lapsed into unconsciousness. A carriage was called, and be was taken' home,' where in spite of all mat ptrysicians could do, he breath ed his' last within a few hours. He was a man' of brains and influence. and his violent death cast a gloom over the entire "community. A few years later Mrs. Peet removed to Tipton, Iowa, where she met and married Mr. Coutts. ; FOR SALE.
