SUDDEN DEATH.
The sad intelligence of the sudden death
of Mr Henry N. Bowman, formerly of this
county, but late a resident of Ttoek creek,
Wasco county, was received by Mr. C. B.
Mays, of this county, last Wednesday,
through a private letter from Mr. Chas. A.
Sehutz, neighbor of the late Mr. Bowman.
The particulars of the sad affair are as fol
lows : On Tuesday afternoon, 6th inst. , Mr.
Bowman and his father-in-law, Mr. Hatha
way, were engaged in removing a large ft.it
boulder from a Held, by burying the same.
They were digging a pit in front of the boul
der, intending to bury the stone deep
enough to allow them to plow over it.
While Mr. B. was in the pit, digging on the
under side of the rock, little dreaming of
danger, the huge nms gave way, crushing
him in a most horrible manner causing in
stant death. Help was immediately sum
moned, but it rcguired nearly an hour's hard
work to extricate his mangled corpse. It
was a crushing blow to his beloved wife and
family. Mr. B. was highly respected, and
his sudden death cast a gloom over the en
tire neighborhood.
The deceased was well known, and'highly
esteemed in this etnty, where he had re
sided for about ten yeara. Numerous
friends mourn their los3, and deeply sympa
thize with the grief-striken widow and fam
ily in this hour of sad bereavement. His
aged parents reside at Monmouth, Polk
county and this sad intelligence will almost
-crush them iu their declining years. May He
who " tempers the blast 4o the shorn lamb"
bo their support.
THE MARROW GAUGE.
Some inquiry, says the Uemizer, has been
made of us concerning the reported change
in our narrow gauge railroad. Having tahen
.a little pain3 to ascertain, we think we can
give our readers a correct statement in ref
erence to it The Dayton, Sheridan & Grand
Ronde Railroad Company was incorporated,
making Dayton the starting point. The ex
perience of last season has shown the neces
sity of having a through line to Portland,
and substantial aid can be secured to take it
there ; therefore, a change of incorporation
was required, so a new company was incor
porated, making Portland the terminus, and
extending to Dallas and other points f urther
the valley. This new company is to is
sue to all stockholders in the former compa
ny the same amount and degree of stock,
assume all debts and liabilities, including
freight certificates, and to receive all the I
property and assets of the former company.
So that in reality it is only a change of name
and incorporation. The road to Dallas will
be completed as soon as the weather per
mits, and the summer's work will probably
be between Dayton and Portland.
Thriving Business. We were surprised,
a few days since, upon stepping into the
saddle and harness shop of Mr. S. A. Hemp
hill, to find such a large and varied stock,
in his line, on hand. About two years since
Mr. H. started into business here, with very
limited capital, except a thorough knowledge
of his business, in all its departments, and
an unusual amount of nerve and courage.
By close attention to business, strict econo
my, honesty of work ami the use only of
first-class material, he has succeeded in es
establishing a large and permanent business.
He has everything, in his line, that the far
mer needs, from a hamestrap to the finest
set of carriage harness. His work is all
hand-made and manufactured by himself, so
that he knows just what he is furnishing
bis customers, and never fails of giving sat
isfaction. His prices suit the times, and
Jill work i3 warranted. Jf you want any
thing in his line, give him a call, before pur
chasing elsewhere.
Mail Route. Last Tuesday Mr. John
Bickard, of Long Tom, was in this city cir
culating a petition for signatures, for the
establishment of a daily mail route between
this place and Monroe. We are pleased to
learn that it received many names. Every
citizen of Corvallis, and the large scope of
country between here and Monroe, should
sign this petition. Sometime since the tri
weekly mail route between this place and
Junction via Monroe was discontinued and
iu lieu thereof a daily route established be
tween Junction and Monroe. This is all
right for the people of Monroe, and those
living south of that place, but it is a great
hardship upon the large - settlements north
of Monroe, which are thus deprived of all
mail communication. It is to be hoped the
postal agent will give thi3 matter his espe
cial attention, at an early day, as it is a
matter of vital importance to scores of fam
ilies. Why this route was discontinued, is
a mystery to us. Let us have a daily mail
to Monroe, by all means.

Upon the arrival of the boat, last Tues
day morning, to convey the remains of Isaac
Jacobs to Albany, for interment, nearly
the business houses of the city closed iu re
spect to his memory. Isaac was a steady,
;uiet young man, greatly esteemed by the
entire community.
A The remains of Isaac Jacobs were taken
to Albany for interment in the Hirew
cemetery at that place. In order to accom
modate the friends who desired to attend
the funeral, the steamer Will.mettc Chief
was chartered to convey the sail cortege
thence, r.cd the steamer Bonanza to return
them hither, in the afternoon.
F. S. Matthews, the genial and popu

having the best erf help. With Fred How

dining room, anil the " irrepressible" Charlie
Weeks as an outside worker, and". Mrs.
Matthews as a genera! superintendent, ev
erything moves along nicely.
Upon visiting Salem, last week, we re
gretted to find Mrs. Strana, one of the kid
pioneers of Oregon, and mother of the nu
merous Strana family, of Portland and Sa
lem, in a very critical condition, from the
edeets of a fall received some three weeks
since, while visiting her children in Port
land. She does not lack for friends, and
kind attention, and we trust she will soon
be restored to usual health.
Mr. E. Rosenthal, in the abence of a Jew
ish Rabbi, offered prayer and made some ap
propriate remarks, at the house of M Jacobs,
E3q., last Tuesday morning, before the
corpse of Isaac Jaeubs was removed to the
boat. The large number of citizens present,
and who followed the remains to the boat,
and accompanied the sorrow-stricken family
to Albany, showed the esteem in which the
young man was held. A large number of
friends from Albany came up on the boat to
attend the funeral. The Willamette Chief
conveyed the sad cortege to Albany, and
the Bonanza brought them hither after the
funeral.

Monroe, March 10, 1370. X. Z.
Isaac, elder son M. and Anette Jacobs,
died last Sabbath, at 2 A. M., after a brief
illness of only six days. On last Tuesday
his funeral took place from the family resi
dence, Mr. E. Rosenthal officiating. After
an impressive and solemn invocation, Mr.
11. read the following short address :
Dear Frihnds : We have come to pay
the last tribute of affection and sad office of
love to our departed frind, Isaac Jacobs,
who was born on the 18th day of April,
1859, and died on the Oih of March, 1879,
at the age, of 19 years, 10 montb.s and 21
days.
With hearts wrung with deepest sorrow,
and p du we bear his precious remains to their
last resting plaec the cold and silent tomb.
His death has been peculiarly afflictive, cut
down suddenly, in manhood's early prime,
just as he was entering upon a life of useful
ness and honor. He was a student of Cor
vallis Agricultural College for ten long
years, and graduated with honor to his now
grief -stiicken parents and friends, and credit
to him -elf and the institution, m June,
187(. He won, by his diligence and manly
conduct, the highest esteem of his teachers
and fellow schoolmates. He w;vs a du
tiful child, the pride and joy of hi3 parents ;
a loving brother, the ideal of all thai was
manly and noble, tender anil brotherly. . He
was loved by all who knew him. Every
thing that lay in the power of his dear ones
to do for him to prolong bis valuable life
was done ; but Cod's wir.li .was to take him
away and nothing in this world could save
him any longer. He lived an upright life
and died a peaceful death. May the bless
ing of our Father in heaven rest upon the
dear Ones whose hearts have been filled with
sorrow by this dreadfui stroke of death, and
may they find comfort in the words of King
David, when the Lord took his first and only
child : " The Lord gave and the Lord hath
taken away, blessed be the name of the
Lord. "

LET US REASON TOGETHER
Mi:. Editor: A few thoughts on Woman's
rights : Would it not be right and just for
our next Legislature to memorialize Congress
to adopt the Sixteenth amendment to the
Constitution, leaving out the word "male"
citizen, and saying "every" citizen that is
21 years of age, either he or she, Shall lie a
legal voter. And also the same change to be
made in our State Constitution. We find that
this is nothing more than an advanced step
of right and justice, and directing a higher
standard of morals. Taking this question,
in all it3 bearings, and I am astonished that
this band of true women, has been kept
from their rights so long. Started over six
years ago, fought their rights with only one
paper, the Xew Northwest, they have receiv
ed some favors by the last Legislature, such
as voting in school meetings, etc. Now
why not give them the right of the elective
franchise in full of this common wealth ?

"A Blue Bibbon Club has been organized
at Soap Greek, Linn county."
The above item, going the rounds of our
State exchanges, we take from the Oregonian.
Some twenty or twenty-five years ago,
when to be called a "Soap Creeker," was
not considered by outsiders, very complii.ien
taey, we would not have objected very seri
ously, to its being located in Linn county.
But Soap Creek has been redeemed, and we
are proud of that locality. The long-haired,
Spanish-spurred, leather-leggined fraternity,
who were a terror to Corvallisitcs, have dis
appeared, and a more quiet, orderly, thrifty
community i3 not found in the State, and
for these and other reasons, we object to our
contemporaries being so ready to give to
Linn thi3 fair portion jjI Benton county.
We do not propose to stand any such non
sense, and we hope every paper engaged in
this business will make the amende honorable.

in curing Consumption, severe Coughs,
Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No person can
use it without immediate relief. Three dos
es will relieve any case, and we consider it
the duty of all Drugjists to recommend it
to the poor dying consumptive, at least to
try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were
sold last year, and no one case where it fail
ed was reported. Such a medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too widely known.
Ask your Druggist about it. Sample bottles
o try sold at 10 cents. Regular size. 75 cts.

5. As used, neither tlimaterial nor pre
served articles are i ajjuriott to tin-
Ut'imllt, nor is t::e navor of the article
preserved iu the least affected, '
fi. The entire additional expense for ma
terials, will not exceed lw'ity-f iv'
Cents for preserving 100 pounds of meat
or tor preserving a barrtl (3d gallons) of veg
etables. 7. The materials used can usually be ob
