DROPPED DEAD. L. N. Price, old Benton County Resid entWas Buried Saturday. A BIG DAY. In History of Corvallis Church Sunday, s The Occasion. 0. A. C. WON. STRANGE ADVICE. Certain Oregon newspapers de fend the proposition that the indict ed and convicted representatives from Oregon ought not to resign, and therein give token of a queer conception of public virtue. Strip ped of all sentiment, the offense of these convicted officials is that they have violated the very laws they enacted for others to obey. They have given a staggering exempli fication of what it is to be false to a sacred public duty. We may all regret the condition and out of per sonal friendship or kindly sympathy smother the indignation " naturally elicited by this betrayal of a public tru&t, but there is no justification for urging that these men should continue to hold office and ' draw salaries. To defend such a conten tion is to tell the citizen, the pres ent and the future citizen, that there is no shame in the condemna tory verdict of a jury or in the sen tence of a court. -It is to tell them that when in office, it is just as well for a convicted man as for a man of rare probity to serve in public place. It is a proposition so dia metrically at variance with the com monly accepted notion of decency, that it is astounding that public journals would defend it. What ever may be the duty of Mr. Mitch ell, Mr. Williamson and Mr. Her mann in the premises, there ought not to be one, in the light of the facts, to counsel them not to resign.

Price, a highly respected and old time resident of Benton county dropped dead 'at eight o'clock last Friday " morning in a store in Portland, and was buried Saturday in the cemetery at Simp son's chapel, near the old home of the deceased in Southern Benton. His demise came among total Strang- m - . . ers, ana it was several nours Derore the affrighted Portland merchant and those about him, learned the identity of the dead. Mr. Price went four weeks ago to Portland and bought a lot in one of the sub urbs of the city. He built a house which was rapidly rounding jnto completion, and with his wife, Mr. fnce was preparing xo occupy 11. At the very hour of his passing his errand in town was the purchase of furniture and groceries with which to begin life in the new habitation. He had made a purchase in a store, and while the salesman was wrap ping it up, Mr. Price fell dead on the floor. There was no warning, no signal of what was to happen. With his face ashen in death, he dropped to the floor and expired. The clerk hastened to his side, but only learned that his customer was beyond human aid. The nex t query became the one of who was the man before him. Inquiry along this line was prosecuted vigorously, but there was no one to answer. The coroner was summoned, but could not give the dead a name. The bereaved wife, ignorant of the facts, was in another part of the big city, and had an engage ment to meet her husband at a cer tain place. At the appointed hour, she went to the rendezvous, but he was not there, he was dead. Out at Sellwood, resided W. I. Price, a son. He went to Sellwood from Benton county, about a month ago. to reside. He could have told the crowd the identity of the dead man, if he could have been at the store, or later at the morgue. It was noon, four hours after his death, before the body of Mr. Price was identified. The stub ot a check in his pocket contained the name of the man from whom he had bought the lots. From him the name was secured of the man who built the house' He was found af ter much trouble, and at the mor gue was able to identify the body. The day was nearly exhausted be fore relatives in the city had been informed of the tragic developments of the morning. As the sun went down Saturday evening a large assembly of old neighbors stood in the country churchyard at Simpson's chapel, and saw the casket containing the body of L N. Price lowered into the grave, and earth to earth, dust to dust. The body with the funeral party reached Corvallis on the Westside at noon that day. . Relatives and friends met them at the station and started at once for the cemetery Juniors Walked Away with Eugene in Annual Second Team Game. After a week of unusual interest made so by the presence of prom inent speakers from abroad, the re opening week exercises at the Meth odist Episcopal church came to a close Sunday night. Friday night concluded the series of sermons. Dr. John Coleman, president of Wil lamette University, delivering the address. In a polished yet power ful discourse, he sought to prove that belief in God, and development m Christian religion is educative, and that unbelief is just the oppo site. It takes no effort of the brain declared the speaker, to say I don't believe, but searching out the truths of God broadens the mind, sharpens the intellect and leads in to paths that are educative and helpful. A general church reception fol lowed Dr. Coleman's address, sev eral hundred being present. Lem onade and wafers were served by the young people of the church. Strangers were welcomed and a good time enjoyed by all. The service Sunday began with a love feast at 9:45, followed at 10: 30 by ajermon by Dr. Reder of Portland. At the conclusion of the address the congregation was given oppor tunity to contribute towards the payment of the debt that has been incurred in remodeling the church. For the purpose, printed contracts were passed around and those de siring signed for as many shares or fractions of shares as they wished to pay, Each share represented the payment of one dollar per month for a period of three years. There was a children's rally at 3 p. m. with an excellent talk on habits by Dr, Rader, and the ser mon at night was by Rev. G. H. Feese. Contributions were also solicited in the concluding minutes of the evening services, and the total amount of money pledged dur ing Sunday was. about $3300 To complete the entire project arid put the edifice in firstclass shape, $4,700 is required and this it is stated, be provided, and the work finished immediately. Dr. Rader declares that the church when completed will be one of the best equipped in the valley. The annual game of football be tween the Junior elevens of OAC and the State University was won by the strong lads of the OAC team on College field last Friday after noon. The game was watched by a large crowd of spectators, and was very interesting. The OAC team was stronger in every way, the score scarcely representing their real superiority over the visitors. In the first half, there was no score. Eugene had an opportun ity to do so when an OAC player muffed the kickoff and a Univer sity man fell on the ball on OAC's 25 yard line. Her men however, were not strong enough to shove the Collegians back and the latter soon worked the ball back up the field and out of a posiiion of peril. Early in the second half, starting from Eugene' s 45 yard line, the Collegians rushed the oval the bal ance of the way for the only touch down of the game. Later on they again drove tha visitors to the lat ter' s own 50 yard line, and was apparently headed for a touchdown when a penalization for offside caused them to lose the ball on downs. During the srame Eugene rushed the ball 74 yardsl and OAC men carried it 134 yards. Porter' field at one time got away for a 1 5 yard quarterback run, but was call ed back on some technicality. The Ion gest run of the day was 20 yards by a Eugene halfback . The most significant feature of the game was the flashes of foot ball genius seen in the play' of some of the new OAC men. Por terfield, a freshman quarterback, and Darby at tackle, playing foot ball tor ms nrst year, are men sure to play brilliant ball in another sea son, and to make excellent men to take the places of some of veterans the team is to lose. The same. Is true of Cherry at center and Mc- Kinnon at guard, while . there is lots of promise in many of the oth er men. Captain Ray Walker played star ball, and Sweek worked to an excellent advantage. The lineup of the two teams was: BEGIN THURSDAY. Construction Operations on Mountain Water System for Corvallis.

M. M. Waltz the words that con signed their old neighbor back to the dust from which he came. The deceased was a citizen well worth the high respect and esteem in which he was universally held. He was good in all the meaning of the word, and the heritage of abundant worldly goods that he leaves to a son and a daughter in creased a name that in their parent stood for all that is honorable. L. N. Price was born in Indian -ana, 70 years ago. He came to Oregon in 1853, and settled in Southern Oregon. He came to Benton county 31 years ago, and settled on the farm now occupied by his daughter, Mrs. A. W. Haw ley, and her family.

Price with a document so that the son might if he desired, draw the money on deposit at var ious banks after the passing of the father.

On the evening of Monday Nov. 13th the people of this city are to have an opportunity of witnessing Miss Esther Rujaero's beautiral story of love in the Rocky Mount ains. All who have sat under the spell of this deeply interesting story of plain and mostly honest people will, surely avail themselves of see ing it again; The play is well equipped, magnificently staged and is produced by a splendid company ot artists. No effort has been spar ed by the management to make the production as nearly perfect as pos sible. "A Broken Heart" is now play ing its;second season of unqualified success. 1 ne reason ot its great popularity is not dimcult to under stand. . "I write from the heart out," says James Whitcomb Riley and there is no surer way of writ ing to the heart than the method of the famous Hoosier poet. Miss Rujaero has evidently caught the idea and the result is a play that will live long after many of the plays of the day ' are forgotten People don t want good plays,' growl unsuccessiul managers and actors, but "A Broken Heaat" is most convincing argument to the contrary.
