4... Corvallis Times Official Paper of Benton County, CORVALLIS, OR AUG. 5, 1905. AS TO JURIES. Passing events have their signi ficance. Whenever law is violated and the offender gets into court, there is always a motive for some body to deny the truth. The con sequence is that jurors nearly al ways find themselves listening to some of those on the witness stand swearine to one state ot facts, and others swearing to exactly oppos ite and irreconcilable statements, Thus, a federal grand jury indicted Senator Mitchell, and in a vehe ment speech the senator denied on the floor of the senate what a fed eral court declared to be truth. The government witnesses in the Wil liamson trial testified to certain conditions, and the defendants on the witness stand denied everything. Strikingly in point with these in stances, and at the same time teaching a significant lesson to jur ors is the case of John Mc3ee of Corvallis. That person in a jus tice court swore positively that he did not buy whiskey of Jacob Blumberg, but subsequently when a perjury case appeared on his hori zon, he confessed that what he had sworn to in court was not true, and that he had as a matter of fact, bought whiskey of Jacob Blumberg. At the trial, McGee had a motive for desiring Blumberg not to be convicted, and because of that mo tive, the testimony he gave was false. All witnesses of the McGee kind, and all defendants have a motive for denying the actual facts, and that is why there is so much cantradiction on the witness stand. Future jurors should remember the confession of McGee, for it will guide them in making up a just and correct verdict. Remem bering it, they can seek out what witness has motive for desir ing the truth to be smothered, and therefrom easily determine which is telling the truth, and which, de nying it, THEIR WONDER. By winning the greatest num ber of points in the all-round indi vidual national championship games at the Lewis and Clark ex position yesterday Frank Friessel cf the University of Oregon, dem rnstrated that he is the best athlete i i the. Northwest. It is vividly re membered by those who attended lie intercollegiate athletic meet at Salem in June how, when Friessel was unable to make a good showing n account of his crippled condition the Oregon Agricultural College students and their supporters from Oorvallis, in their characteristic manner, insultingly derided Fries -eland the U. O. track team, call ing the star athlete of Oregon a 'gold-brick," and "fizzle," and heaping other indignities upon him, Such despicable and contemptible acts, however, are not uncommon with O. A. C. and Corvallis people, They are no doubt from Missouri and wanted to be shown, and Friessel has now certainly shown them. Eugene Guard. Articles like the above about neighboring schools or towns never appear in the Times. Newspapers ought to cultivate inter-urban and . inter collegiate good feeling, rather than promote unkindliness between them- Bnt a nasty little speech about O. A. C. and Corvallisites requires reply. It is possible that some hoodlumish boys at the State meet called Friessel "Fizzle,'' but it was not all Corvallis nor all O. A. C that did it. Besides they learned it of the Albany Democrat who first invented the phrase, which stuck because it seemed so beautifully appropriate.1 A great body of O. A. C. and - Corvallis people decried then and regret.now that some of their friends called Mr. Friessel, "Fizzle," though the term is . one that they cannot, to save their lives, dissociate from -U. of O.'s "Star athlete" as the Guard is pleased to call him. ' ' As to Friessel's late performance that has shown the Guard that the gentleman above referred to as 'Fizzle" is the greatest athlete on earth, it must be remarked that the Guard is "easy." Seventeen and a half seconds for the 120 yard hurdles is indeed a corking record and third place in the 100 in which the winner required 10 2-5 seconds to make it, is indeed a splitter. In cidentally, there were four men in all in this great "National" meet and, in view of the records, the question arises what kind of men were they? A cripple, with three other cripples to go against could, under safe conditions, become in tercollegiate champion of the world, just as did the gentleman the Al bany Democrat was mean enough to dub Mr. "Fizzle." Now as to U. of O. and the peo ple of Eugene, and also the Guard, the Times commends them as high minded, good and gracious, and in this reference to their own and only Mr. Friessel bespeaks for him and them, a long and happy life. HARVEST TIMES. And Outing Season Their Effect in Town The "Moral Welfare" Movement. Harvesting operations are in full blast, and it is the dull time in town now. A man hunted farmers on the street the other day and was able to find but one during the whole day. To look up and down Main street sometimes, it would seem that there is not likely to be another in town for a week. Be sides this depressing- influence there is the absence , of those away on va cations. Corvallis has citizens of this kind scattered from the Fair to Frisco, and from the heart of the Cascades to the line of sand beach where the ocean roars perpetual. The one and only thing that deadens the lonely effect of the pres ent Good Old Summer Time, is the Corvallis Social Athletic Club. For the moment, it is a perpetual fount of interest. It is more talked about than the Williamson trial, or John D. Rockefeller now called, the greatest criminal of the age." It is, by reason 01 its unusual charact er, very much in the public eye, as it were. A big shipment of wet goods came to the place via the Westside Wednesday night, and that gave those interested some thing to tell their neighbors and friends about. Now and then, too, persons in pairs, or trios, or other wise disappear off of Main street, walk down to the headquarters and there pass out of view, and that is another source of remark. Wheth er the act in such cases is merely social, or purely athletic, or a mix ture of both or neither, is what ob servers speculate on. With "mor al welfare" as a part of the purpose of the club, as announced in the articles of incorporation, these vis its in day cime and otherwise, it would seem, ought to be beyond criticism, because who knows? Af ter the brethren get inside, per haps they drop down on their mar row bones, raise their eyes to high heaven and pray earnestly for their own 'moral welfare and for that of their brother members. The club authorities have pre pared ana nung on tne building, a huge sign. It reads thus: "Cor vallis Social and Athletic Club Members admitted only-Trespassers will be handled according to law. Eventhegrammatical construction in the "Members admitted only," and what that expression actually and really means, has come in for dis cussion, Whether it means that "only members are admitted," or whether members are only ad mitted and not let out again until they have said their prayers and had a drink " is one of the problems of the big rag sign. These and forty other things connected with the club are a well spring of per ennial interest that serve to interest a dull town while tne summer hours and harvest time are gliding swiftly away. Without it all the days would surely be very much elongated and the hours be very slow. Besides, they say it looks like the good old times before the drouth to see a couple of the brethren marching down to the club, just as they used to do to Woldt's, that they get there, the same old re freshment in the same old way, and t!:at it is all a dream of oft-returning and perpetual bliss. Och, Local Option! what's local option when there is a good, law- abiding club, like the Corvallis So cial and Athletic Club! Reward Offered, For harvesting specs go to Hodes Pioneer gun store. Also a fine assortment of King's triple beaded rifle sights and Sheard's hunting or target sights. The reward is in the good bargain to be secured. Use Good Paint . S. W. the best.

Occurred Wednesday Forenoon In terment in Pine Grove Cemetery. The funeral of Miss Emma Schoel occurred from the family residence in Job's addition Wednesday morn ing at nine o'clock. . A short serv ice was held at the home and then the body was taken to Pine Grove church where an appropriate ser mon was preached, and where in the cemetery adjoining, the burial occurred. At the home the neigh bors and friends had gathered for the service, and also numbers of College girls, among whom were classmates of the deceased. The girls also served as honorary pall bearers. After a drive of 13 miles to the church, at 1 130 p. m., memor ial services were held. Following the service in the church the cask et was borne by six young men and the procession, headed by eight young ladies bearing flowers, pro ceeded to the family lot in the cemetery nearby where the con cluding services were held. The many flowers at the home and also at the church spoke of the high esteem in which he tdeceased was held bv all who knew her. She was one of a family of ten chil dren born to Mr. and Mrs. C. Schoel. " One brother, Edward Schoel, and two sisters, Mrs. Al wena Luther and Mrs. Florentine Voss, live in Albany, two brothers, Henry and Charles Schoel, reside at Halsey, and William, Louis and James Schoel reside at home. Miss Emma Schoel was born in Crawford county, Iowa, December 1885, and died July '31, 1905, her age being a little less chan 20 years. She died of heart trouble brought on by rheumatism. For a part of last year, she was a student at OAC. Mr. and Mrs. C. Schoel and fami ly wish to thank the friends and neighbors for thair kind sympathy and help in their bereavement. The funeral services were con ducted by C. T. Hurd, pastor of the United Evangelical church of Corvallis. ANOTHER PIONEER. Death of Aunt Huldah Brown Funer al Yesterday Afternoon Inter ment Today. After a lingering illness, Mrs. Huldah A. Brown, a pioneer of 1 850, died at the home of S. P. Hunt, this city, at four o'clock Thursday afternoon. She was aged eighty one years. The funeral oc curred from the Christian church, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon and the service was conducted by the pastor, F. E. Jones The in terment is to be at Buena Vista, where her husband and other rela tives are buried. ' The maiden name of the deceas ed was Huldah A. Zumwalt. She was born in Warren county, Miss ouri, July 25th, 1824, and emigrat ed to Oregon in 1850. She settled with her pareDts on a farm near what is Independence, Polk county, and a year later married Dr. Davis of the vicinity. They resided on a farm in the vicinity until 1886, when they moved to Buena Vista, where the husband died in 1878. In 1880, she became the wife of S. K. Brown, one of the earliest set tlers in Benton, who died in 1883. A few years later, Mrs. jBrown re moved to Corvallis, where she has since resided. Mrs. Brown was a life long and devoted member of the Christian church. She was almost universal ly known in late years as ' 'Aunt Huldah"" Brown, and was due to the fine qualities of character and disposition that attracted many friends to her side. About four months ago, she suffered a violent attack of paralysis, and has since been an invalid, confined most of the time to her room. . For Sale.

He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. That being the case he can not be too careful about unnecessary ex penses. Very often a few cents properly in vested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few cents, and a bottle of it in the house often saves a doctors bill of several dollars. For sale by Graham & Wortham. THE JURY HUNG.
