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!

FUNERAL OF EMMA SCHOEL.
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.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.
The average man does not save to exceed
ten per cent, of his earnings. 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.
