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.

of the action of the company. This virtu
ally ends the firemens' pic nic for this s;a

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

Coming. CoL T. Egenton Hogg, accom

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

a passenger in the incoming steamer. It is
quite probable that he comes to push this
worthy enterprise to a rapid conclusion.

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.

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
