MR. WOODCOCK'S MENAGERIE.
Woodcock's newspaper menager
ie, with its imported aggregation of
stellar editors, one for the political
sideshow, one for the main tent, and
one for the popular department of
tare old plates, still admits the mid
night conclave, the job. and victims
for the slaughter at the convention
next day. Nobody in the show as
yet realizes that the admission is
damaging to the candidacy of the
great and goad "Granger" Yates
for senator, but when that well
known pillar in the grange (for
political purposes) once grasps the
situation there will be a rattling of
dry bones in the animal cages,
and perhaps a denial yet, of the
. caucus and its slate.
Why not deny? It can be done
with safety, and for the sake, of
that grand old "granger" (for po
litical purposes), whose name is a
household word, wherever patrons
of husbandry is known, a denial
should be made. It was easy for
the star performers, under the di
rection of the ring master in this
famous troupe of acrobats to change
the tenor of the sacred resolutions
the convention passed and to print
them in a form different from that
in which they were adopted, and
by that change to give them a sense
entirely different from that in
which they were worked , through
the unwilling convention. It was
easy for them to falsify the records
in one instance, and it will be
equally easy in all cases hereafter.
A denial can be printed with per
fect safety. "The Gazette or its
owners are in nowise responsible
for anything that may be said in
this department." (See sideshow
page, Woodcock's circus, April
-5th.) When the owner of a news
paper publicly proclaims in bold
type that he will not father what
appears in his paper, why not de
ny? If the owner publicly adver
tises that the stuff in his paper is
unreliable and that the "Gazette
or its owners are in nowise respon
sible for anything that may be said
in this department" then, indeed,
it is easy to deny the truth or to
tell a lie.
Deny? Why, of course deny
, heaven and hell and the angels, if
necessary to help the cause of the
' great and good "Granger" Yates
(for political purposes). But the
fatal figures of the convention still
stand.

Well Knows Benton County man
- Burial of James Wilkinson. -
The mortal remains of the late
James Wilkinson, who died in Los
Angeles last Sunday, were laid to
rest in -Crystal Jake cemetery
Thursday afternoon. - The funeral
occurred from the family residence
at two o'clock, and was . under the
auspices of the : Odd Fellows, of
which the deceased -was a member
A large number of Rebekahs and
GAR veterans were also in at
tendance. The service ..was "con
ducted by Rev. Carrick of the
Presbyterian church. :
James M, Wilkinson was born in
Joe Davis conn tv, 111., ' Sept "i.
1842. At the age of 10 he enlisted
in the army and served three years
m Company "A." Indeoendent Bat
talion and 3rd Missouri volunteer
cavalry. This regiment was large
ly engaged in scouting, foraging
and skirmishing in Arkansas, Miss
ouri and the frontier states and par
ticipated in many -" engagements.
In 1863, he was promoted to ; the
4th Duty sergeant for efficiency and
faithful service. .He was at one
occasion taken prisoner but shortly
after paroled. He bore a gallant
part in all engagements of his regi
ment and acquired a proud - record
of meritorious service and soldierly
conduct at all times. Un the nth
of November, 1864, he received
an honorable discharge at the ex
piration of bis term of service.; He
had been an honored member of
Ellsworth Post, G. A. R. of Cor
vallis, in which he had held -office
as junior vice commander.
In March, 1868, he was married
to Sarah Ann Rankin of Joe Davis
county, 111., and for 36 years en
joyed the comforts and blessings of
a happy home. - - The following
children survive. Luella, wife of
E. i. Dunn, and Fred O. ,
Athough farming was his chos
en occupation he has held offices of
public trust. He was an ardent
republican and 2 for many years
served as chairman of the repub
lican committee in his precinct. He
was an industrious and enthusiastic
tiller of the soil. For many years
he had exhibited to visitors in
Benton county what industry and
up-to-date methods can accomplish
on an Oregon farm: His home
was like a garden spot among
the hills. The word welcome
seemed to be inscribed" over the
gateway. Mr. Wilkinson was a
large hearted, public spirited nd
truly generous man. No worthy
cause appealed to him in vain.
. About two years ago he came to
Corvallis where he built a com
fortable home in which to ' spend
his declining days. Before he left
the farm he was stricken with para
lysis and since then he has been a
partial invalid. In religion Mr.
Wilkinson was an ardent christian
and a loyal member of the Presby
terian church. v

ty to which the wearers
point with pride.
