$3000 Cost to Benton County.
Ben Johnson, an Indian, w.is tried List
fall term of Circuit Court, for the murder of
Dr. Hutchinson near Toledo, in this county,
and was acquitted. During the March term
of Court he was tried for larceny in a dwell
ing house and also for the murder of Melvin
McKee, adopted Soli of the former, and
murdered at the same time with .the Dr.
In all three cases he was acquitted. The
costs to Benton County is perhaps from
three to four thousand dollars. Aad still
no one has been convicted for the double
murder and it is well established that the
murder was committed: The all absorbing
question is who was the perpetrator. On
the last trial it was testified that the track
of Ben Johnson was bat a few foot behind
the body of the boy where he was fonud
murdered and that the track was made there
after the boy was murdered, because the
track of the Indian was an top of the track
of the boy. It is getting so that circum
stantial evidence will not answer any longer
with which to convince a jury. They must
have the act of murder testified to by sn
eye -itue-s and then they would probably
roach the conclusion that the act was done
in self defense. The public are interested
in learning the person who committed the
foul deed because any of ihe rest of our best
citizens are likely to be found dead by the
wayside a3 long ai such crimes go un
punished. A Telephone iyaiita s'jr Banton Connty.
Mr. Editoti Gazette: Tho Corvallis
and Philomath Telephone system h3 now
been ia operation f r about 3 years and has
become a well established and useful insti
tution. As a business venture it h3 proved
an entire success, paying clear of all ex
panses a high rate of interest on the in
vestment. I think the time has now ar
rived when aa extension of the telephone to
other points in the country is urgently re
quired. A line from Piii'.oni-.th into Kings
Va'dey would be of great benefit to people
there in giving thn direct communication
with the county seat and it would also be
advantageous to the people of Corvallis by
drawing closer the business ties existing
between them and this outlying portion of
the connty.
A line from Corvallis to Monroe with a
halfway station would be a like reciprocal
advantage. It is, also, a business necessity
of the immediate future to make a con
nection between the terminus of the O. P.
R. Go's telephone line at Yaquina and the
city of Newport
I am satisfied that all "of these lines will
pny amply for the investment, besides- be
ing of business importance ia other way.?.
Not being prepared to alone undertake the
construction of thsse and other much needed
lines, 1 have concluded in concert with
some friends to place the concern in the
form of a Countv Joint Stock Co., and thas
all thoso who are most affected by the de
velopment of the Telephone system C3n ob
tain a voice and interest in Tt. It may, also,
not be amiss to state that I had in contem
plation tim spring an extension to Albany
and tlio establishment of e system there
and later on a further extension to Salem,
but on application to the pacific Bell Tele
phone Co. of San Francisco for a license I
was iufor.ned th?.t they themselves had
under consideration a general telephone
eyetam for the principal Willamette Valley
towns and pendir.-g the development of their
plana they ' were unwilling to grant new
licenses. Thu3 at an early date Corvallis
will have telephone communication with the
Willamette Va!l.?y town generally.
At the present time there arc 13 sub
scribers to the telephone in Corvallis and
Philomath, (a larger number than at any
previous time), and applications have bean
made for several more instruments.
Yours truly,

Protect Your Stores Asalnst Thieves.
The Jewelers of this place have received
Ihe following circular issued by the Jewe
lers' Protective Union of New York City:
In view of numerous robberies that have
recently occurred in tho South and West,
The Jewelers' Protective Union deem it ad
visable to call the attention of the trade to
the necessity of exercising especial, care and
wartehfiftness in guarding their stores from
the depreciations of the criminal classes.
It is a fact known to the Association that a
gang of experienced "cracksmen" have left
New York (where business placei are pro
tected by th best appliances, such as night
and day watchmen, burglar alarms, district
telegraph wires"iind most thorough detect
ive agencies) and are preceding on a tour
of depredation throughout the South and
West, where few of the above named facili
ties for protection exist. The subject is one
tfeit vitally concerns, us nil, 'and demands
prompt attention. We would suggest that
you h ive in your place of business a burglar
proof aife; also an aided bodied trustworthy
man occupying your premises at niht and
that ho 'should be armed. As sdditional se
curity a private watchman guarding your
store from the outside, who can .siew your
safe as'he passes, would be desirable; At
the best safes -are really more of a guard
against ".'neak thieves" than the professional
cracksmen, who, given timeml opportunity
will force his way into the strongest enclos
ure made, hence the great necessity of hav
ing a living guard besides your iron and
steel surroundings. Tho Executive Com
mitttee of the Union deem it important that
you should give prompt attention to this
warning, an 1 take such' precautions as will
ensure the safety of your property.

Inhuman Treatment.
Tho Chinese hospital under the joss house
in Portland is about the hardest place next
to a hog pea in ths city for a human being,
says the Statiiard. The Chinese are sup
posed to take care of their sick and decrepit
and tho way they discharge the duty'convej's
an impression thit makes them tired. There
are at present four sick men in that place,
one in a room. They havo no couches, but
lie on the hard floor with a blanket or two"
around them and a greasy bundle for a pil
low. Two of the man sick wore blown up
in a gimt powder divertissra-ent and the
others had lisease. They tried hard to
ra.iice their condition known to white men
who went to look at the pltce, but could not
be understood Close by is tho dead house,
where they who enter leave hope behind.
One r;om that contained a sick rava. was
kept locked. Probably it was feared that
he wsuld gat up and runoff. The Chinese
have their own physician: and tbeir peculi.tr
medical treatment, and it is reasonable to
suppose that they are, la a majority of cases
successful in restoring their siok to health
but a white man who would treat his hogs
as the Chinese treat their sick, would be
proaecuted. It shows tbo character of the
heathen.
Cincinnati Uein3.
Cincinnati, Ohio, March 15, 1SS3.
Ed. Gazktxe. I scarcely know what to
write about knowing that more local events
that happen here would be ot little inter
est to your readers.
Cincinnati is one of the gayest and most
wicked of cities, and those who have leasure
aad means Imve the greatist possible va
riety of ways for the employment of their
time and money. Tho times are prospefous.
the people light-hearted many light
headed and gay; extravigance and disipa
tion reigns. The city has nearly recovered
from the effects of the great flood which
done a great deal of damage, to the mer
chants and manufacturers whose places of
business were situated on the low ground
al"og the Ohio river. During the flood
business wss almost entirely suspended.
Tne water was so high that ths gas works
had to suspend operation for over one week
and the city was lefi in total darkness.
Also the water works closed and left in the
reservoirs only seven days supply of water.
Economy wa3 practiced by alt-iu the use of
water. The water reached as high up as
Pearl street between third and fourth street
on the south side of the city. Fire engines
were placed on large flit boats and were
anchored out in the sabmurged streets so aa
to prevent fires in that district. About
300 armed so' liers were put on the police
force to guard the city by night so as to
prevent the many thieves and burglfrs of
Cincinnati from taki-ig advantage of the
darkness and doing their works of evil.
Churches and school houses were thrown
open for the sufferers of the flood. The hum
of sewing machines 4c, in the churches
made it mere like" a manufactory than a
house of worship. Relief committees were
formed and every possible kind of aid was
furnished to the sufferers. Now the river
has gone down and they are all back in their
houses once more. But the relief com
mittee is still at wurk furnishing them with
clothing, fuel, etc. Cincinnati deserves
great credit, for fhe has atteude 1 to the
wants cf her own suffered and also given
great tod to other towns along the river
that were ca!!ic for help from tho outside.
I had the pleasure of hearing the world's
mo3t famous prima donnas, Patti, Albaui,
Porch Madia, Soalchi and a ecore of other
celebrated artists who took part in the
Opera Festival last month. There has never
been, in thi3 country, so many distinguished
artists nnited in one company as at this
Festival. Tho chorus, consisting of the
most talented singers here in the city, num
bered about two hundred. I caa only say
that it was grand.
Cincinnatiar.s are looking forward to an
other great event, that is tho Dramatic Fes
tival, which ivill come off on the week com
mencing April 30th. All the most cele
brated tragedians on the American stage
will take part in it. Such as John Mc
Collough, Murdock Barrett, also Mary
Anderson, Madam Eeah and others. For
several weeks a corps of scenic artists have
been at work painting the scenery Jthat will
be used in the different plays. A lingo drop
curtain will be painted. The design is of
very rich white satin curtain in heavy folds
looped back, disclosing a magnificent picture
of Regulas, splendidly caporisonod, leaving
Rome for Carthage. Thi3 is being painted
on a canvass Sixty-five by fifty feet. The
managers are not sparing time or money to
have the Dramatic Festival a snccoss.
Some other observations I had intended
to make on this subject but as my letter is
already longer than I expected I will close.
Yours truly,
' E. j". Glass.

Chakixy,
Death Of a Pioneer Merchant- and Good Ean
Brief Sketch of ni3 Life.
Shortly after eleven o'clock last Friday
morning Charles Hodge died at his resi
dence, corner Sixth and Montgomery streets,
in Portland, aged rifty-fonr years, says the
Oreijoman. He was born in Newburyport,
Massachusetts, in October, 1828. He learned
the business of retail drnggist in the store of
his uncle, Charles M. Hodge, in that place,
and in 13-i9 sailed for California via Cape
Horn, arriving early in 1850. Soon after he
established hiui3elt in business in San Fran
cisco, whore he remained until 1800, when
he came to Portland and opened a wholesale
and retail drug store in connection with the
late Charles E. Calef, under the firm name
of Hodge 4 Calef. In 1867 tilts wa3 changed
to Hodge, Calef k Co., by the admission of
Geo. W. Snell, and on the death of Mr.
Calef in 1876 the firm became Hodge, Snell
4 Co. In 1878 the firni3 of Hodge, Snell
Si Co. and T. A. Davis & Co. were consol
idated und'er tho firm name of Hodge, Davie
& Co., which continues .at this time. He
was married March 31, 18C1 twenty-two
years ago to ;day to Miss Novison, who
with one child, MioS Hannah Hodge, sur
vives him.
He was chairman of ths board of trustees
of the Unitarian church, president of the
board of school directors, a director of the
Mechanics' Fair association, treasurer of
Willamette Lodge No. 2, Free and Accepted
Masons, and an active and valuable mem
ber of the boerd of trade. He died of pneu
monia. Mr. Hodge was one of the most'
valuable of our citizens. He was actuated
by a high public spirit, was noted for con
scientious devotion to duty in all relations
of life, and always bore a part in every
movement fox promotion of thej interests of
the community, both in a moral and mater
ie.l w ay. He was one of the men .whom the
community, wbio'u is fortunate enough to
possess them, can least afford to spare. The
funeral took place last Sunday under tho
supervision of the Masonic Fraternity.
Cure for Corns.
A correspondent of tlje Scientific Amer
icm is authority for the following cure for
corns: Iate one -tonrui cup as strong
vinegar, crum finely into it some bread; let
it stand half an hour, or until it softens
into a itpaH poultice; then apply on retiring
at night. In ths morning the soreness will
be gone and the corn can be picked out.
If the corn is a very obstinate one it may
require two or more applications to affect a
cure.

Queen of the Paeiiic en her last trip to

two casks fhrce barrels one sack of ha:ri3,
two casks of batter, three cases of cheese
and 175 sacks of bran. This i3 probably a

Singular Accident. t
Rev. L. A. Banks, while getting out of
his buggy a few days since, inflicted a slight
scratch ou his little finger, says the Qn-
ronian. A day or two after, while calling
at a friend's, ho wai presented with some
caster eggs, dyed in various colors. While
carrying these home, wrapped in paper, it
earns on 10 rain and the coloring matter
from the eggs stained hi3 hand, some of it
getting into the scratch on his little finger.
The next day the wound inflamed and his
arm became swollen to the shoulder and
was very painful. For two days and nights
ie suffered much and was somewhat alarmed
'or the consequence, but at the end of that
time the swelling went down, and he is now
experiencing but little trouble from the
finger. Tho egpa were probably dyed with
niliuo. which is known to ba poisonous.
Many fatal .cciuents have been caused by
the use of clothing dyed with aniline, and
pencils and inks formed of the ssme ma-
rial. Too much -care cannot be used in
handling anything ictothe composition of
which aniline enters. .
