There are several English residents in

Mr. Albert Bartseh, general agent for the

When yon come to town to do business,
never patronize a person who does not ad
vertise in your county paper; because the
adveitiser gains the largest patronage, by
the use of printers mk and by so doing, he
can always sell to you cheaper, than the
party can who waits for the customers to
happen along and stumble over his place of
business before he learns that the dealer has
anything for sale. Always patronize the
man who advertises, in your best friend, the
county paper,
A SINCTJLAKLY FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Young Man Jumps From a Third Story
Window Resulting in Death.
A very singular accident happened last
Wednesday evening. Mr. Thomas Alexan
der, youngest son of J. C. Alexander of this
county, came into the Occidental hotel be
tween eleven and twelve o'clock and engag
ed a bed. The party who put him to bed,
thought it was about a quarter to 12 o'clock.
He noticed he had been drinking a little,
but thought nothing of it, because he went
off to bed without any difficulty, Occupying
a room in the third story of the hotel in the
southwest corner of the building; At about
half past twelve Marshal Hogan, who serves
as night watch for the bank, was just op
posite of the hotel and immediately across
the street, heard the window of the room
occupied by the unfortunate man raise and
immediately following he heard a dull
heavy thud of a sound as if something fell
on the sidewalk. The Marshall immediate
ly proceeded to the opposite side of the
street under the window where Mr. Alexan-
j der had been sleerjing, where his boby was
I found lying and him in an insensible condit
j ion. Various theroies are advanced as to
j the motives which led to the accident. Some
are inclined to advance the idea that after
j going to bed he became sick at the stomach
and raised the window to vomit arid had
lost his balance and fell out of the window.
! This theory appears very reasonable except
i that there was no signs of any vomiting
having been done. Others think that after
j going to bed he had began dreaming some
j frightful dreams and -had jumped out of bed
and rushed to the window and raised it
j while yet asleep and jumped out before he
! knew what he w&s doing. The latter theory
looks quite reasonable when we are informed
! that his brother says that he has long been
j in the"habit of getting lip nights and walk
; ing in his sleep. But still no one will ever
know what led to the fatal fall. Many ru
mors are on the street as to the deceased
having been in the continual habit Of dissi
pating for some time past, but in conversa
tion with J. W. Rayburn, with whom de
ceased had slept every night for the last ten
or twelve nights, until the night of the ac
cident, we learri that such is not the case.
Mr. Rayburn says that during all that time
deceased has been going to bed early in the
evening and was not under the influence of
I drink. Mr. Rayburn also states that de-
ceased had for some time passed been set
tling up his business here with the view of
going to Washington Territory to remain
permanently and that he had got .all mat
ters arranged and intended to start yester
day morning to hear Waitsburg, W. T.
We believe deceased was born in this county
almost adjoining Corvallis, and was about
29 years of age, was educated here and a
graduate of Corvallis Agricultural College.
He had a good education was a good his
torian arid Well read generally. He read
law in this town and. was admitted as an
attorney at the December term of the Su
preme Court of this state in 1877. He had
practiced his profession but very little. ' He
had a very kind, generous and pleasant dis
position, being one of those kind of persons
at whom no one could hardly become of
fended. He was a man well informed and
had plenty of good sense; but lie did not
seem to have a particle of that will power
which drives so many men along vigorously
through life. His sudden departure will be
sadly regretted by all who knew him. .He
was an Odd Fellow and we learn that the
funeral will take place under their supervision.
Albany Always Ambitious.
On last Monday evening the Corvallis fire
department received the following challenge
from Albany:
"Albany, Ok., May 28, 1883.
Chief Corvallis Fire Department, .
Dear Sir: By request of the com
mittee of general arrangenients, 1 herein
challenge a picked nine from the Corvallis
tire department to play a like nine of the
Albany department a match game of base
ball, the same to be played in this city at
the celebration the coming 4th of July", for
a prize not yet decided upou, but which will
probably be a silver bat.
Please "consider the abdve, with the "boys'"
and let ine know at as early a date as possi
ble, whether or not it is accepted, and
oblige, Yours very resp'y,
C. W. Watts, Sec. Com."
Just what will be done with the challenge
is yet undetermined', but in all prol labilities
it will be accepted arid the silver bat, or
scme'other prize, contested for at the com
ing fourth. Many of the members of the
Corvallis department favor a contest in
various other athletic sports and without a
doubt the day will be enjoyably spent, pro
vided they are accepted.
Accidental Shooting:
A case of accidental shooting, which
probably will prove fatal, occurred at the
resilience of Ben Rush at Elk Prairie,
eighteen miles west of this city, Thursday,
says the Eugene City Guard. A Mr. Har
per, of Brownsville, with his son, aged
about 20 years, had been down on the
Siuslaw looking at the country. Coming
back, they stopped at Mr. Rush's for supper,
and when watering their horses at a creek
one of the horses jerked back, in some man
ner catching the hammer Of a rifle carried
by the Elder Harper, disCharing the same,
the ball, a 40 calibra, entering the person
of his son about three inches below the
shoulder blade near the back bone, and
coming out about one and one-half inches
above the left nipple. At last accounts the
young mau was still alive, but the chances
are against his recovery.
Tunnel Work.
Work upon the approaches of the Siski
you tunnel is to begin at once, says the
Ashland Tidings, and Mr. Hurlburt received
orders last week to have such lumber as is
needed at the start sawed and upon the
ground as soon as possible. A hundred
Chinese are expected to arrive this week to
break the ground. This tunnel will no
doubt be the last piece of work completed
on the whole extension, and it of course
behooves the company to begin upon it as
soon as possible. It is understood here that
the company will conduct the work at each
end of the tunnel until everything is ready
for the perforation to commence, when one
or both halves will be placed in the" hands
of contractors. It will reauire more than
j a year to complete the tunnel.
Accession to the Taquina Post.
We- are creditably informed that Col.
Van Cleve, editor in chief of the Yaquina
Post, having spent a great many years in
good work and well doing, concluded best
to have some assistance in editorial efforts.
In order to have such help as would suit
him best, he therefore concluded to take a
young boy and train him up according to
his own notion. To finl such a boy was the
next important effort. Not being satisfied
to rely entirely upon his own judgment he
secured the assistance of Dr. F. A. Johnson
of Newport, who arrived at Mr. Van Cleve's
residence last Sunday morning and after
shaking the bed clcthessomewhat vigorous
ly, out rolled a "fat take" in the shape of a
fine large boy. He is rather young yet to
take charge of the Post, but a few years will
bring him into the traces all right.

No More Sick Headache.
For persons of delicate health and ner
vousness, hear what an eminent lady lec
turer says: "Having suffered from nervous
headache for some timet and not finding
any relief from the treatment of our bast
physicians-,-! tried Pfunder's Oregon Blood
Purifier. One dose ol this remarkable
remedy gave immediate relief, and a few
bottles of the same cured me so far. I can
recommend it, especially to ladies suffering
similarly.

Appointments in Washington Territory,

After complateing these engagements
Miss Willard, accompaniedby her Private
Secretary, Miss Anna Gordon, will visit
and organize in all the leading cities and
towns of Washington Territory, British
Columbia, Mohtana, Idaho, Utah, Wyom
ing, Uolorarto, JNeDrasKa, Minnesota and
Manitoba. This is the tenth year since
the organization of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and its officers purpose
to introduce the Society in every town of
ten thousand inhabitants and over, as the
best manner of signalizing this epoch iu
Temperance work. The Society is now or
ganized in three thousand towns and cities
of the United States, and has seventy-five
thousand members as its estimated constit
uency in 1883. Mrs. Lucas, the j sister of
Johu Bright, is President of the British
W. C. T. U.r and Mrs. D. B. Chisholm, of
Hamilton, Canada, is President of the Cana
dian W. C. T. U. Miss Willard arid., these
are in correspondence relative to- a- simul
taneous movement for such an increase in
the number of local auxiliaries as will make
this the most notable year's organizing ever
known in Temperance annals.
Dear FSIEND3:- Much as we all appre
ciate the kindness shown to Miss Willard
in the receptions every where tendered her
and the callers who desire to pay her their
respects, we are obliged to say that she can
not do justice to these demands upon her
time, and strength and justice also to her
public work. Will you, therefore, carefully
observe the following points!
1. On her arrival let her go quietly and
at once to a home, where she can remain
throughout her stay, not "being transferred
even for one meal.
2. Let her rest between Her meetings ,
receiving no calls, as she cannot meet our
friends in public and in private also
These suggestions apply in full force to
Miss Gordon, who is not Well and cannot
do more than help arid care for Miss Wil
lard. The above is published at Miss Wll
iard's request. Mas. H. K. Bines,
Pres. Oregon State W. C. T. U
We keep constantly on hand at this office
a large lot and variety of stationery letter
heads, bill heads, envelopes, and papers of
different kinds which we furnish at the
lowest possible prices.

Biletz Agency.
May 28, 1883.
Editor Gazette: Hon. James Chambers
has been very sick for some time bat he
is now slowly improving and will be able
for business again iu a few weeks.
Mr. Wadsworth the newly appointed
agent has taken full charge of the agency
with the following corps of employes, viz:
L. F. Williams clerk, F. M. Carter physi
cian, Rev. T. B. White teacher, assisted by
his wife; F. M. Stanton farmer, and Miss
Anna Chapman (Indian) seamstress. The
boarding hall for the present will be nnder
the care and management of Mrs. Stanton
matrjn and Mrs. Wadsworth superintends
the culinery department. The new admin
istration starts out under very favorable
auspices. Ine agent appears to be very
muoh at home in his new and important
position. Mr. E. Swan, the retiring agent
has done much to build up and improve the
condition of the reservation. He was a firm
and true friend to the Indian.
This will be an important era for the res
ervation. A large and commdious bearding
hall, school house and agency building, will
be put up this summer. The building will
be let by coutract.
The Indians are evidently making con
siderable progress in the arts of civilized
life and are laying off their old ways and
customs and trying to live like white people
and be somebody. The hope of the reser
vation lies in the children and the school.
The school with the aid of the bible is the
most powerful influence for good ever
brought among the Indians. The outlook
of the reservation was never so hopeful as
now. The new agent seems to have the
sympathy and confidence of the people.

Sunday School Convention;
Pending a visit to this coast, of Rev.
Robert Cowden, the secretary of the S. S.
Association of the state of Ohio, a number
of Sabbath School workers in Benton coun
ty are trying to complete arrangements to
have a Sabbath School convention. The
convention looks, toward the permanent or
ganization of an association for this county-
An organization of this county into a per
manent, effective, working association will
put Benton criunty on the same basis of pro
gress as that occupied by Shnday School
work iri any other part of the Union. It
will furnish a system of intercommunication
bearing on all subjects; and it will thus show
where are the needy schools, arid will put
them in the line of assistance. It will
broaden the field of every SundaySchool
worker, it will create schools where they do
not exist and will insure the establishment
of those now in operation. It will confer
many other benefits, of which there is here
n room for mention; but of which any one
will think, after reflection.
A committee of visitors will visit the
schools of the county and invite the schools
to aj;ree upon a time and place tor the con
vention. They will bear a circular letter
setting forth the aims of the convention,
and asking each school to send representa -tion
for the formation bf a programme, to
provide speakers and determine the place
for the convention. Other matters will also
be considered.
A united effort is solicited, in all the
schools of the county. The time has come
for such a movement.
This communication is forwarded in, com
pliance with an action of the Sunday School
of Philomath.

Editor Gazette: Agreeable to promise
I will give you a few items. After arriving
at the Dalles I took the stage for Yakima
City via the Darland Bros, fast line 4 horses
to a coach, 12 miles to the top of the bluff
from the Dalles, then the driver cracked
his whip and away we went down to the
Klickatat Valley which we followed up to
Goldendale. Some good farms around the
town but all in small patches and rocky;
only a small portion of the land is fit for
cultivation. We were up in the morning
and all aboard for Yakima City. Distance
72 miles. If any of the Cor vallis tes want
an aid to digestion let them try this route
over the mountains and if. 'chc-y do not get
their bones shaken up then I am no good
judge of high and lofty tumbling. We had
a long and hard pull to the Summit. I saw
J. M; Eglin at the Canyon toll house,
changed teams then and went down the
Simcoe mountains with horses on a run, over
rocks ami across streamSj away we go at
break neck speed until 2 o'clock P. M.,
when we arrived at Salas station, ready for
dinner. After dinner we went over the
sand hills to Yakima Valley, adross the In
dian reservation, which is a nice level plain,
18 ril'les across to Yakiina City arriving at
6:30- P. M. I took iu all of the valley from
Yakima City -down to the Columbia river
and have not seen anything to eompare
with Benton. cctiuty. Too much sago brush
and sand; some good patches along the
river; plenty of bunch grass but this whole
region is destitute of timber and water. I
traveled 100 miles down the Yakima and
did not see one creek or spring.

glad to learn that the mill has fallen into
energotic hands, as her services are needed
here.
Mr. N. A. Thompson has laid his fine
tract of land between Newport and Cape

half and five acres, for sale at reasonable
