Newspaper Page TextWEEKLY Mil! il l IS GAZETTE; Corvallis, May 16, 1879. OPIUM SMOKING The San Francisco Bulletin, of recent date has an article on opium dens, in that city, giving the modus operandi of smoking. . To say nothing of the terrible consequences that follow, in comparison to which the li quor-drinking is not to be compared, it is most filthy and digustihg to any person who has any regard for decency. To be sucking a stinking, filthy pipe that has been used by the lowest and most abandoned of this country and China, as well, should be enough to deter every decent American from an opium den. The habit once formed, how ever, is hard to break, and herein lies one of the greatest dangers. It should be shunned and loathed, as its twin brother, the leprosy. We need a law in Corvallis similar to the San Francisco law, on this subject of which the Bulletin speaks as fol lows : A little over a year ago, a great many white people of both sexes patronized the opium dens. The Board of Supervisors deemed it best to put a check upon the growing evil, and a stringent law was pass ed, making it a penalty of not less than $50, nor more than 8500, for the keeper of any opium den to allow a white person to smoke in that place. It was also made a criminal act for any white person to be found in an opium den, the fine being fixed at not less than $50. Since the passage of this law the dens drive less lucrative busi ness. Their customers are all Chinese, two generally occupying one table and using one lamp. .Sudden Death. At an early hour, last Tuesday morning, our citizens were electri fied by the sad intelligence that Mrs. Mary t, beloved wife of our fellow-citizen, Mr. B. T. Taylor, had suddenly, and almost Without previous warning, passed over the ". dark river." For one or two days Mrs. Taylor had not beefl feeling very well but nothing serious was apprehended, although Dr. J. B. Lee, the family physician, was called on Saturday. Sunday she was up and seemed quite cheerful. Monday after noon had a slight chill. The Doctor admin istered melicine, and at 9:30 el m., ap p jared quite comfortable, and seemed dis posed to rest. At 10:30, the time for. medi cine, she appeared .to be resting well, and the doctor gave orders not to disturb her till the next regular time for medicine, at 11:30 P. M. At that time she was past rousing, and life seemed almost extinct. Drs. Lee and Farra were immediately summoned, and did all in their power to restore animation ; but all in vain. At 3:30 a. m., Tuesday, her freed spirit went to join that of her an gel daughter, who had preceded her mother to the spirit land only a few weeks. The deep distress and sorrow of the family, un der suc'i peculiarly afflictive circumstances, can be better imagined than described. Her remains, enclosed in a handsome metallic casket, most beautifully decorated with " flowers of spring," were followed, on Wednesday, by sorrowing friends and laid peacefully to rest in fie Old Fellows' ceme-, tery. The bereaved family have the heart -felt sympathies of the entire community, in this hour of sorest affliction. But no one can take the place of mother. Pugilistic. The "spring fights" have commenced early, in Corvallis. Last Satur day a little " onpleasantness " occurred be tween J. J. Haskins, the corpulent landlord of the North Pacific Hotel, and Joe. Stew art, one of the plasterers eugaged on the new hotel. Stewart got the best of the old gentleman, it seems, and his son, Lon, con cluded to take a hand, as it was a " free fight. " Rumor says that Stewart got away with both father and son, and established a reputation for "fresco work." All the parties Were arrested jury trill and Mr. Haskins footed the bills. We regret to chrbnicle such disgusting episodes and will p tauter this over by saying "black" eyes (accompanied by swellings and beef steak) and bandaged heads are unpleasant sights and we hope to see no more in Corvallis dur ing the present season, at least. " Better is he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Temperance Workers. The old war horse of temperance, D. Newsome, and Calvin' B. Mac Donald, lie veteran journalist and orator, are making a tour of this valley, lecturing upon temperance, and nobly aiding forward the grand work.' They were in Corvallis on last Wednesday evening, . and the evening following at Philomath. From here they went to Halsey, where they have an appointment for this evening. They have an engagement for Oregon City on the 20th, and at Brownsville, on the 29th, where theS. S. B. JR.. C. and Legion of Honor hold a grand pie nic. It will be a pleasant occasion, should the weather prove favorable. -. P. S. Since the above, was in type, Mr. Mac-Donald .arrived, but informed us that Mr. X. was detained by illness. Installation. On last Friday evening W. B. Carter, D. G. W. C. T., assisted by Wm. Grant, acting G. W. S., and A. C. E wart acting G. M., installed the following officers of Exclsior Lodge No. 9, 1. O. G.

No Pic Nic At a called meeting of Young America Engine company, last Tues day evening, it . was decided to "indefin ately postpone" the pic nic and ball an nounced for this day and evening. The Albany fire department, and others expect ed, were immediately notified, by telegraph of the action of the company. This virtu ally ends the firemens' pic nic for this s;a son. Now, why can't the citizens of the entire county unite together and hare a grand Fourth of July celebration? Other c tun ties are moving in this matter why not Benton ? Who says celebration ? Soda water at E. Rosenthal's. . Dr. Green's new drug store and office will soon be ready tor occupancy. New Orleans Sugar and other choice goods, just received, at xvay s.

Examinations are proceeding at the college and, as a consequence, teachers and pupils are crowded with work. Mr. McKibben, late, of California, came un on the boat last Tuesday morning, and proceeded to Alsea, in quest of government land. Some persons seemed to think that 50 cents was too much to charge for a first-class lecture. We can t afford to acknowledge that Corvallis is a "two-bit " town.

If you have farms, crazing land, or city property for sale, leave them with Wrenn & Holgate, real estate brokers. I hey can sell if anybody can.

He has filed . on one hundred and seventy-three acres of land, at Lower Alsea, and expects to return, with his family, in sbout six weeks and become a resident of Benton county. Welcome. Haslett. the "Pilgrim Print," of "Hun gry Brother" notoriety, swooped down upon us, last Wednesday, like " the wolf on the fold."

Conner, of Indianapolis, Indi ana, paid us a call on Saturday. Mr. C, has been spending several weeks in Phi'o math, his former home, and will remain lor some time to come.

He says that city is livening up considerable, and that the book and job business, in which he has lately en gaged, in connection with Mr. Carter of the tAZEtte, is steadily increasing. Salem Town Talk. . Very many of our citizens do not seem to realize that we are upon the eve of exceed ingly prosperous times in Denton county. With a harbor of refuge, a railroad to the sea, and a terminus, at one ot the b st natural harbors between San Francisco and the straits of Fuca there is no rule by which to measure our future greatness. Fos sils to the rear, live men to the front. Ga zette onlv $2 50 per year, in advance, and job work at Chicago prices. Carter & Ready, Book and Job Printer.",' of Corvallis, announce that they are prepar ed to do all kinds of printing, in the latest style of the art.

Annual Meeting of the Board of Regents, at 10 o'clock a. m. MONDAY, May 26th. Joseph -Emery, 16:29w2. Sec'y of Board. New Ordinances. The City Council, at its last regular meeting, passed a Sunday or dinance, one relating to auctioneers' license, and one requiring all city ordinances to be published in a daily or weekly newspaper of general circulation, in the city. It seems strange that these matters shout?! not have been attended to long ago. Under the for mer arrangement of "posting ordinances up on the street," no one ever stopped to read one, and consequently the taxpayers' were as ignorant as Hottentots as to the laws by whicMhey were governed. Besides this, it cost the city more, under the former arrange ment, than to have ordinances printed in a newspaper, at the rates fixed by the new or dinance. The old council goes out in "good shape," and renders a good report of its stewardship. We have no doubt the new council will ho flgnnlly vigilant in guarding the interests ofH city. CALVIN B. MACDONALD'S LECTURE. The pioneer journalist and prater, whose nam heads this article, and which has be come as familiar as household words upon this coast, arrived by stage, last Wednesday afternoon, to fill his engagement to give his grand lecture, "Thirty Years on the Bor der," for the benefit of the Good Templars' Organ Fund. The Second Erigade Band, Prof. E. A. Millner, Leader, kindly volun teered their services for the occasion, and after performing several soul-stirring and popular pieces at the door of the hall, pass ed inside and greeted the audience witJr one of their choicest selections, which, forTfrtis tic execution and correct time, would com nare favorably with any band on the coast. i - - The audience was not as large as was ex pected, or could have been desired, but Mac threw his soul into the work, just as though the capacious hall had been crowded. He is the "boss" lecturer of the coast and de serves, full honors, every time. . The funeral of Mrs. Taylor, upon that day, kept a large number from attending the lecture. The next time Mac come3, we promise him a rousing house, like he had the first time. The bad weather, postponement of pic-nic, etc., rendered this an unfortunate time for a lecture in this eity. New Engine Fund. Wm. Groves, city treasurer, made the following report to the City Council, last Monday evening, which will be of interest to many of our citizens, and epecially our firemen who take a lively interest in the new ' ' raasheen, " which is much more easily handled than "Big Six."

The Salem Statesman of the 11th inst.. in sneak inf of the oontin ued " mist" so unfavorable for pic nics, re marks : "People who are complaining about so much rainy weather for May, would do well to think back to 1875. In that year there was but two pleasant days during Oil 111011l.il. Funeral Sermon. On Sunday, the 18th day of May, at 11 A.M.. Rev.

Egenton Hogg, accom panied by a number of English gentlemen and capitalists, are passengers on the incom ing steamer, and are expected up to-day. Among the number is Wallis Nash, Esq., and family, who come to reside in Benton county. We extend a cordial welcome to these stranger? from ' 'across the waters. " and trust that they may be pleased with Oregon, and find new and pleasaut homes in this land of the " setting sun." The Portland Standard, iii speaking of Col. Hogg's return, says : "Hon. T. Egenton Hogg the prime mover in the Corvalli3 and Xaquina road, is a passenger in the incoming steamer. It is quite probable that he comes to push this worthy enterprise to a rapid conclusion. I. 0. O. F. Excursion. We are request ed to state that all Odd Fellows who con- I template participating in the excursion on ; the 22d inst. , will meet at the hall of Bar.' num Lodge No. 7, I. O. 0.

Also, come prepared with lunch. Arrested. The Roseburg Star learns that Frank Rayburn, who escaped from the ' Corvallis jail, some weeks since, was arrest- : ed at Yreka, Cal., on Wednesday of last week. We presume this is correct, as Sol. i King, sheriff of thi3 county, started south last Monday, and expected to reach Yreka about the time the requisition of the Gov ernor of this state did. W e understand a private note from Ben. Bowers, deputy sher iff, states that Frank1 is heavily ironed, awaiting his return. He will not have much chance to " get away " again. Blue Ribbon. C. B. R. C. met at regu lar meeting last Saturday evening, and were once more disappointed, as Capt. Humphrey was not present. However, the club once more drew on home talent, and had a very pleasant meeting.

E. church. Election of officers for ensuing quarter, to-morrow evening. DR. H. tiREKN, Cii n Jix. Com. Enjoy Life. What a truly beautiful world we live in ! Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens and-oceans, and thousands of means for en joyment. We can desire no better when in perfect health ; but how often do the majori ty of people feel like giving it up disheart ened, discouraged and worried out with dis ease, when there i3 no occasion for this feel ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain satis factory proof that Green's Ajgust Flower will make them as free from disease as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complanint is the direct cause of seventy -five per cent of such maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous Pros tration, Dizziness of the Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and other distressing symp toms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect. Sample bottles, 10 cents. Try it. Don't Forget It. 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 have' 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 blond to drive out the impurities, the above mentioned symtoms surely follow, and it not heeded, end in more terrible diseases and death. White's Prairie 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 tweuty-tive cents and seventy -five cents. Consumption Cored 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 remedy for 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 full directions for preparing and suc:e3sfully using. Address with stamp, naming this paper Dr. J. H.
