WEEKLY CORVAILIS GAZETTE,
Corvallis, M. 7, 1879.
THE FUTURE OF CORVALLIS.
Since it has become a fixed fact that the
Oregon Central Railroad will be extended to
Corvallis, next summer, real estate has per
ceptibly enhanced in value, anil is changing
hands. Several new buildings will rro up
early in the spring, and Various improve
ments will be made. With railroad connec
tion, Corvalli3 is destined to be one of the
liveliest and mo.it desirable business places,
as it is the handsomest, in Oregon. Located
in the geographical center of the Stite,
within sixty miles of one of the best harbors
between San Francisco and Puget Sound, it
Deeds no prophetic ken to foretell a brilliant
future.
Every person visiting Corvallis, especially
in the spring and early summer, is struck
with its lovely location, magnificent scenery,
clear, sparkling water, healthful climate,
and refreshing se.i breezas, wafted through
a gap in the mountains in the immediate vi
cinity of Mary's Peak. It is siturted upon
a beautifel level plateau, at the confluence
of Mary's river with the Willamette, the
banks of the latter along the entire city
front, on the east, being very high,
giving wonderful advantages for drainage.
The streets, in their natural condition,
are splendid, and are suflkiently inclined
to the north and east for easy and nat
ural drainage. There are no "cuts" and
"fills," no grading of lots, etc. The pla
teau upon which the city is built extends
back to the foothills, about two miles, gen
tly riring among the hills, until it is lost in
the Coast range of mountains which divides
the Willamette valley from the Pacific ocean
Possessing so many natural advantages
and surrounded by an unlimited extent of
the timst agricultural and grazing land
in the State, well watered and timbered, it
seems marvelous to strangers that Corvallis
should have so long remained in the back
ground. But the day of deliverance from
obscurity is brightly dawning, and every
railroad project and public improvement in
the State will, eventually, pay tribute to our
beautiful city, which, as its name indicates,
is the " Heart of the Valley."
We desire to see Corvallis and Benton
county grow and flourish upon their merits,
alone. Jt has never bean our wish to pull
down or discourage other places, or throw
cold water upon any enterprise or improve
ment, simply because it wa not in Corvallis.
We want railroads and manufactories, which
will bring population and wealth to the
State, and have no fear but Corvallis will
receive her full share of the benefits that
Will certainly flow therefrom. We are
the right side of the river, as indicated by
the following westside enterprises, notices
of which we find in the Oregonian of recent
date:
The Western Oregon Railroad Company,
with Joseph Brandt, Jr. P. Schultz and J.
N. Dolph, of Portland, as incorporators, has

fice of the Secretary of State, the capital

magistrate, and sentenced for three months.
Th" justice, in exclaiming the sentence, re
marked that, while there was no evidence
that the prisoner had been guilty of any
crime, he thought it prudent to commit him,
as he had the wild, hagard look of a man
about to start a newspaper.

TIRED OF LIFE SUICIDE.
Last Tuesday afternoon our qniet city
was thrown into excitement by the an
nouncement that a young man, named
Charles Brailley, had committed suicide, by
shooting himself, through the head, with
his own pistol. The young man is almost a
total stranger in this place, arriving last sum
mer from Ohio, in company with two sons
of Mr. Casteel, at whose residence, on the
State Agricultural farm, the terrible deed
was consummated. But little is known of
this young man, except that he was of
steady habits, quiet and retiring in his man
ner, and apparently in robust health. He
has been stopping with Mr. Casteel most of
the time since his arrival in Oregon, last
August, we believe.
His father is represented as quite weal
thy, and had sent this sea to Oregon in or
der to break off some love affair. So rumor
says. He was expecting money with which
to return home but it did not come. Dur
ing the forenoon of the fatal day, he wrote
a etter home, and upon returning from the
post office, gathered all his letters and pa
pers together and burned them leaving not
a line to indicate the cause of his self de
struction. The whole matter is involved in
the deepest mystery as no sufficient cause
has been discovered for the terrible rash,
mad act, that cut him off in the very bloom
of manhood being probably only about 25
or 28 years of age. He was a Roman Cath
olic, and had united with the Church at
this place,, we understand. Judge McFad
den, assisted by Timothy Donhue, and other
citizens, took charge of the remains and
gave them decent burial in the Catholic
cemetery. The following report of the fet
ing coroner, and coroner's jury, are kindly
furnished us for publication :
State of Oregon, )
County of Benton.
Corvallis, Feb. 4, 1879;
I hereby certify that on the 4th day of
Februay, 1879, the undersigned, acting cor
oner for the county of Benton, State of Ore
gon, held an inquest on the dead body of
Charles Brailley. A jury of six men were
summoned, whose names and verdict are
herewith enclosed. Two witne3se3 were
sworn, Nelson Casteel and his son William.
Nelson Casteel testified that deceased was
preparing to leave his house ; had taken his
trunk out on the porch ; that they had some
unpleasant conversation ; that he, (Brailley)
seemed to be out of humor; considered
that he (Castee!) had ordered him off ; went
out into the yard ; in a short time he heard
the report of the pistol, but supposed he
had fired for amusement, as he often did ;
but on coming to the door saw him lying on
the ground as the jury found him.
O.i examination of his effects there was
nothing found of any value, except a small
silver watch and the pistol with which the
deed was done ; also a small valise, a trunk,
and some clothing, all of which are now iu
my possession.
Respectfully submitted, this 4th dr.y of
February, 1879.
W. H. Johnson, J. P.
and Acting Coroner.
In the matter of the death of Charles
Brailley.
State of Oregon, )
County of Benton.
We the coroner's jury, summoned and
sworn to inquire into the causes producing
the death of Charles Brailley, found dead in
the yard of Mr. Nelson Casteel, in said
county and State, on the 4th day of Febru
ary, 1879, find the following facts : That
we repaired to the y ird of ife Casteel on
the afternoon of said day ; did proceed to
examine, Under oath, Mr. Nelson Casteel,
and Wm. Casteel bis son. That from said
examination of said persons and from the
appearance of the deceased, as to the man
ner of hi3 death, we do find, under our oaths,
that the said Charles Brailley came to his
death in said county by his own hand, to
wit : Hy firing a pistol ball into his temple,
from a five shooting pistol, then and there
held in his right hand.
Given under our hands thi3 4th day

If every individual and every family
would bestow a tithe of the requisite in any
ordinary attack of acute disease, in strving
to prevent and ward off its attacks, there
would rarely be any use for calling in the
aid of the phvsician. In all ordinary de
rangements of the stomach, bowels, liver

Fretly Months
Should have pretty teeth in them, but it is
not unusual to see between rosy lips, teeth
discolored and decaying through neglect.
This disfiguring defect should be repaireil
without delay, by using fragrant SOZO
DUAT. which removes every particle of
tartar from the teeth and renders them
snowy white. This admirable aid to beauty
is perfectly harmless and exhales a most
delightful aroma, and is in every respect
preferable to the ordinary tooth pastes and
powder3. Try it and see for yourself.
Insane. Adam Weidener, who has been
working on the farm of W. R. Calloway, in
this county, for some time past, attempted
suicide, about two weeks ago, by trying to
drown himself in the creek, in that neigh
borhood. Failing in this, he then attempt
ed to amputate his arm, and in this was suc
cessful to the extent of inflicting a very se
vere gash, from which he worild have prob
ably died through loss of blood, but for the
timely aid of physicians, Drs. Lee and Farra
having been immediately summoned. On
last Saturday the unfortunate young man
was brought to Corvallis, and after examin
ation, adjudged insane, by Judge McFadden,
and on Monday Sheriff King took him to
the asylum, at Portland. Mr. W. is a ger
German by birth, possessing a good educa
tion, a pleasing address and considerable
property. Mr. Calloway was appointed his
guardian by the County Court.
Consumption Cured.
An old physician retired from active prac
tice, having had placed in his hands by an
East Indian missionary the formula of a sim
ple vegetable reraedyfor the speedy and per
manent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung
affections, also a positive and radical cure
for General Debility and all nervous com
plaints, after having thoroughly tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of
cases, feels it his duty to make it known
to his suffering fellows. The receipe will be
sent free of charge, to all who desire it, with

f Liver Is King.
The Liver is the imperial organ of the
whole human system, as it controls the life,
health and happiness of man. When it is
disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of
ailments are the natural result. The diges
tion of food, the movements of the heart
and blood, the action of the brain and nerv
ous system, are all immediately connected
with the workings of the Liyer. It has
been successfully proved that Green's Au
gust Flower is unequalled in curing all person
afflicted with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint,
and all the nerveous symptoms that result
from an unhealthy, condition of the Liver
and Stomach. Sample bottles to try, 10
cents. Positively sold in all towns on the
Western Coninent. Three doses will prove
that it is just what you want.
Don't Forget IU
If you are troubled with nervousness are
disheartened tired of life, fear death or feel
out of sorts as the saying is, you may safely
conclude that you h ive the Dyspepsia or
Liver Complaint. The liver is very apt to
become torpid this season of the year as
poisons arising from stagnant water
or decaying vegetation are more numerous
and are through inhalation taken into the
blood. Unless the liver is strong and active
and furnishes a supply of fresh and pure
blood to drive out the impurities, the above
mentioned symtoms surely follow, and if
not heeded, end in more terrible diseases
and death. White s Frame flower proves
itself the Great Liver Panacea. Its action
on the liver is different from any medicine
ever compounded. Its cures are truely won
derful. Try it. Price twenty-five cents
and seventy-hve cents.
Nothing short of unmistakable benefits
conferred upon tens of thousands of suffer
ers could originate and maintain the reputa
tion which Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys.
It is a compound of the best vegetable al
teratives, with the iodides ot fotassium and
Iron, ami is the most effectual of all reme
dies for scrofulous, mercurial, or blood dis
orders. Uniformly successful and certain
in its remedial effects, it produces rapid and
complete cures of Scrofula, bores, isoils,
Humors, Pimples Eruptions, Skin Diseases
and all disorders arising from impurity of
the blood. By its invigorating e lects it al
ways relieves arid often cures Liver Com
plaint, Female Weaknesses and Irregulari
ties, and is a potent renewer ot vitality.
For purifying the blood it has no equal; it
tones up the system, restore3 and preserves
the health and imparts vigor ami energy
For forty years it has been in extensive use,
and is to-day the most available medicine for
the suffering sick, everywhere, for sale by
all dealers.

General Bebiiilv, and for Purifying the
Blood.
This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Hock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known: for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredient? are so sktl fully com
bined, that the f nil alterative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and tlie confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun
try repose in it. prove their experience
of its usefnlness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they'fnrnish convincing
3vidence of the superiority of this Sar
saparilla over every otlrer alterative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
