Watson, republican nominee for prosecuting attorney of this district, was in Corvallis the last of last week, and dur ing his short stay made many friends in our city. There are very few males sent to the in sane asylum now-a-days. The reason for this is that Nolan furnishes the male popu lation with such light and comfortable hats there is no pressure on the brain. Rev. G. W. Bennett will preach next Sunday at eleven o'clock at the M. E. church, as the pastor is absent. There will be no service in the evening. A sma'l urchin at the match game last Saturday was heard to inquire if the Dallas catcher was subject to spells of hydrophobia, and liable to bite. On being answered in the negative, he then asked "why he wore a muzzle?" Mrs. Mary C. Leavitt will lecture in this city June 2nd . She has for some months past been doing effective work in the temperance cause in California, and we hope her visit to our city will inspire our temperance workers with renewed zeal. Tho enacting clause in Momsson's tariff bill was stricken out by a vote of 156 to 151, in the house on the 6th inst. The house by a vote of 159 to 154 approved the action of the committee of the whole, in striking out this clause.

N. Will, Librarian; Miss J. Samuels, Assistant Librarian; Robert Buchanan, Sergeant at arms. The ladies' Coffee Club have decided to give a grand Leap year party at Job's hall in this city on Wednesday evening May 28th, 1884. Judging from the array of well selected committees already appointed, a successful and pleasant time is assured. See their 'ad" in another column. -At the city hall this evening a dramatic and musical entertainment will be given under the auspices of Ellsworth Post, G. A. R. The programme is interspersed with declamations, music, readings, etc,, etc., and the Thespian club will produce the comedy "Sylvia's Soldiers," in two acts.

Mr. Alex Lamb, of Monroe, was in our city last Wednesday, and made this office a profitable call From him we learn that the burnt district in Mouroe is being re built as fast as possible; he also says that "spring fights" are numerous in that em bryo city, and that a certain pretending medical gentleman usually figures second best. David Irvin, one of our shoe makers has recently bought a farm near Monroe, and has moved his family thereon where they intend to make their home. Mr. Irvin has lived in Corvallis from early boyhood, and leaves many friends who will wish himself and family well in their new home. As soon as the news was received at Rose burg last week announcing the nomination lni Hon. Binger Herman for Congress, the republicans of that city ratified the nom ination by firing a solute of 38 guns. Our old friend and former associate, H. H. Hendricks, city editor of the Daily States man, has resigned his position on that paper, and will devote his time entirely to the tody of law. Success to you "Ham," as a "limb of the law." A valuable granite ledge has been dis covered near Bridal Veil, in Eastern Oregon, which bids fair to prove the most important discovery in that line ever made in the state. The stone is easily cut, and buildings may be made from it almost as cheaply as btick. When heated and thrown into water it doe not crack; t kes a fine polish, and con sequen My will be good for monuments. Get your sheet music at Will Bros. The organization of a bank at Ashland was completed last Saturday. The capital stock is $50,000. Remember that Will Bros. , moved one block south of their old place. Win.

Binger Herman Republican candi date for Congress, will address his fellow citizens of Benton co mty on the political issue of the day, at the city hall in Corval- on Tuesday evening May 13, at 7 P. M. All churches, Sunday schools and tern perance organizations ot Benton county are requested to elect delegates to attend the Benton County Temperance Alliance which convenes in the city of Coivallis May loth at 10 o'clock. The basis of representation is one delegate for each organization, for every ten members and one for every fraction of five. By order of the Executive Committee, The Dallas base ball nine made the trip from that place to Corvallis last Saturday morning iu hacks in less than six hours. They returned Sunday morning without Mead Cosper, who said, by way of an excuse for remaining in our beautiml city over Sunday, that he would not return home with the crowd that lost the game, and also drove a balky horse. However he left Monday morning by train for Derry. Mr. F. M. Wadsworth. Indian agent at the Siletz reservation, was in our city sev erai days tins week, and made this oirice a p'easani call. He expects to purchase for tne boarding school ten Head ot much cows before he returns to the agency. He re ports everything on the agency in a flourish ing condition; crops looking exceedingly tine; and that the new furniture for the school now en'route from Portland is ex pected to arrive any day, and that it will increase the accommodations to double its present capacity. Gov. Chadwick and party visited the Bronze Copper mine3 in Josephine county recently with a view to start up again the works there. What the plan of operations proposed by said party is, is not made pub licas yet, but the inspection of the mine with a view toopen it up, shows an interest which still lives, while for several years the mine has been unwrought. The Bronze miDe was at one time in the hands of a San Francisco company, which run it a part of two years. 1 Says the West Side: Ten thousand bush els of wheat have been shipped by Clagjret & Merwin and Vanduyn & Smith during the last week. Mr. W. P. Connaway has also shipped in the past six weeks about 30,000 bushels, making a total of 40,000 bushels inside of two months. This will give our readers a faint idea of the amount of wheat that is stored here every year, but will serve to show that Independence has some thing to back it as a commercial center. The "union" pi inters of New York have adopted a resolution boycotting the Tribune of that city because its managers will not employ union men exclusively, regardless of their competency. So long as the printers' union admits "scrubs," "blacksmiths," drinking men and tough cases generally to full membership, just so long may it expect to be treated with contempt whenever it assumes dictatorship. A. Spanish bull fight is advertised to take place at Salem on May 13th. Bro. Hen dricks, city editor of the Daily Statesman, says: W e wonder it the proprietor of this show" has asked consent of the city au thorities to give such a beastly performance in Salem? No doubt they will prevent it. Great Jupiter! Does any one imagine that the citizens of Salem have such a blood thirsty appetite as to turn out to see a Spanish bull-fight? Has it come to this' Are we mean enough to set all the civiliza tion of mankind at defiance and revive the barbarous age of the amphitheatre? We had supposed that the passion of mankind so strong for such brutality in the time of the Roman emperors had been subdued and softened by the influence of Christianity until the idea of a bull fight show would be the signal for a general feeling of disgust. Mr. J. M. Nolan's One Price Cash Store is now located in the old Friendly store in this city, where he is doing a good . business. He carries a full line of staple and fancy dry goods, ladies' and gents' furnishings, clothing, boots and shoes, hats and caps, fancy goods, etc., etc. His goods are all marked in plain figures, at one uniform scale of low prices. The Democrat of last week say 8: "Mr. Nolan left Albany for Corvallis, where he locates in business, Albany or Linn county people who get within ten miles of Corvallis should buy their goods ot Mr. Nolan, and Corvallis and Benton county people should do the same. Mr. Nolan's family goes with him, as well as his former clerk, Thos. Callahan. " He has been in business in Albany for many years, where he is well known . Comple mentary notices like the above, coming from where he is so well known commends him, and an inspection of his stock and prices, to the careful consideration of oar citizens. Read his "ad" in this issue. New Stock The Gazette office has just received from the Bradner Smith paper manufactory, at Minneapolis, a new and superior stock of letter, note and bill heads envelopes, etc. , etc., to which we invite the attention of eur business men. A. neatly printed letter or note head used by a busi ness house is a sure indication of thrift and enterurise. Call and examine our new stock. The Popular Approval. Of the now famous Syrup of Figs as the most effica cious and agreeable preparation ever offered to the world as a cure for Habitual Con stipation, Biliousness, Indigestion and kind red ills, has been won by the wise plan pursued by the California Fig Syrup Com pany. Knowing that any remedy truly ben eficial in its effects on the system, and at the same time pleasant to the taste, will meet with a rapid sale, the Company, through its agent for Corvallis, Messrs, Allen & Woodward gives away sample bottles free of charge. Try it and judge for yourseit. Large bottles titty cents or one do'lar. The Latest, in the line of inventions is reported by ye jolly editor of the West 6:ie. It is fully demonstrated that this a day and age o t progression, and we are called upon almost daily to chronicle the event ot some wonderiul invention, but it is hardly to be expected that such an inven tion as Bro. Stine speaks of in his last issue cou.d be made a success. He says: 'We received a composing stone, Satur day, from the firm of J. B. Scrafford & Bro., Corvallis Marble Works, which is well finished and goes to show they are up to the times in their business. We have called upon Scrafford Bro. 's aud they say they cau not fill another order for this new kind of a stone, and we feel, justi- d in expressing our indignation at our enterprising firm for shipping to our sister city that which would have found a ready sa'e at home. If it is what its name i n plies, a composing stone, it is surely a desirable acquisition to the "art preser vative. " The Match Game, Which was played in this city last Saturday afternoon be tween the Corva"is aud Dallas nines was one of the most pleasant it has ever been our experience to witness, A general feel ing of sociability and good will prevailed on both siles throughout the entire game, and, although closely contested, and won by the Corvallis nine by only one score, not a word was said by auy one of the 18 players to roar the pleasure oc the game. Ueorge Atwood, of Corvallis, was chosen umpiie, and by his impartial rulings won the favor of both clubs. Time of game was 3 hours. Be'ow we give the score. CORVALO.IS NINE. Claude Ferguson, c Al. P.

The delegates to the State Convention from Polk and Benton counties nominated for Joint Senator for the two counties Hon. J. D. Lee, of Dallas, Mr. Lee has been in the Oregon Legislature two or three times already, and by his course in that body he has shown himself to be a true friend to Benton county and her institutions. He is a popular man, a successful merchant of Dallas and a good legislator. His long resi dence in Oregon and extended acquaintance with men gives a large advantage in know ing the wants and necescities of the people. During his long experience in the legislature he has always been found a faithful, energet ic and true friend to one 3f Benton county's cherished institutions, the State Agricul tural College, as well as all other interests of the county. The people of our county can quietly rest in repose with perfect ease while her interests are left in his hands. Supreme Judse. Murder Near Salem. A special correspondent at Salem, Or., writes to the Oregonian on the 5th insj;., that David Swartz, an old resident of this county, was found lying dead in the road near his old home a few miles east of this city at an early hour yesterday morning. His team and wagon, on which was a load of lumber, were standing near by, with indi cations of having remained there all night. Swartz's body was lying on the ground with a ghastly gun-shot wound in the face and one, apparently made by the ball of a revolver, in his neck. An alarm was at once iven, and the body taken to Sis home. Foot prints were scattered around promis cuously, apparently those of three different persons a man, a woman and a boy and the theory was advanced that his wife, her son and a colored employe on the place were implicated in the deed. Their family relations have been anything but pleasant for a long time past, and their recent ap pearance in the courts in cross suits, assault and battery cases, etc., has given them an unsavory reputation. Sheriff Forward yes terday arrested the woman and boy on sus picion, and they are now in jail. The col ored man cannot be found as yet. The coroner will hold an inquest to-day. There has no doubt been a murder committed. The pistol shot was fired at close range, as the flesh is powder-burned. It is generally supposed the crime was committed about 9 o'clock on Saturday evening, the body being discovered on the following morning by a man coming to the city for a physician. The affair has created considerable excite ment. Later developments indicate that Swartz was shot about 10 o'clock Saturday night. He lingered along in dreadful agony until about noon to-day. His wife made a state ment this morning, in which she said that it was her firm belief that a colored man named Jos. Drake and a farm laborer named William Henry committed the deed. Sheriff Forward has just succeeded in arresting them both, and they are, with Mrs. Swartz and her son, confined in the county jail It is believed that she knows more of the affair than she has thus far revealed, and further confessions are looked for, as she appears sadly broken iu spirit. The coro ner's inauest developed no new facts, and their verdict was that the murder was committed- by unknown parties. She acknowl edges that she took supper with Henry at his house on Gesner's place Saturday eve ning, and appearances indicate that she was cognizant of the crime in all its horrible de tails. The preliminary examination will take place to-morrow morning before Jus tice Coffey, when new and startling devel opments are looked for. The court house is filled with excited news hunters, a num ber of the relatives of the deceased being present. Salem, May 6. The preliminary exam ination of Mrs. D. Swartz and son, Joe Drake and William Henry, charged with the murder of David Swartz on Saturday last, was commenced before Justice Coffey to-day. William Henry testified that Mrs. Swartz gave himself and Drake to under stand that her husband intended to kill them both on sight. Mrs. Swartz came to his house Saturday evening, and informed them that her husband had gone to Bass' mill, and that a favorable opportunity would L. Flinn graduated at Middlleburg col lege, Vermont, in 1863; soon after he enter ed the law office of Robt. S. Hale, of Eliza beth town, New York, and remained there until he came to Oregon in 1864. He was admitted to the bar in this state in Sept. 1865, since which time he has been in active practice and now holds the main practice in Linn county. He has amassed afoituneout of his practice, and the people of Linn coun ty have the utmost confidence both in his ability and his integrity. Please examine 6 Oregon, Tage 31; the case of Hatcher vs. Briggs, and you will find a case in which Flinn secured a ruling of the Supreme Court establishing a more liberal practice in regard to land titles, the effect of which was to drive all the land sharks out of the state. Although there are o;her attorneys named in this case, Flinn did all the work in the case and tried it in all the courts in which it was tried, and prepared the brief. Mr. Flinn is a successful practitioner at the bar although he has adopted the plan generally of attending closely to his home practice in stead of continually going to courts in other counties to practice, and hence his acquaint ance has not been so wide spread as some attorneys in the state, yet those who know him give him credit for being a lawyer of ability, integrity and untiring industry, and one who if elected to the supreme bench I w H add credit to the position. City Election. The election in this city last Monday passed off very quietly, and while in the natural course of eyents some were doomed to disappointment, it is to be hoped that their defeat will not terminate seriously Candidates for remunerative offices were numerous, and consequently much enthu siasm was manifested by the respective candidates and their friends, to secure the coveted office, and be it said to the honor of our city and her office seekers, no dishonest means or petty schemes was resorted to in order to secure the election of any one can didate. The total number of votes cast at this election was 262, being 16 less than at the election one year ago. We give below the entire vote as shown by the official returns: . MAYOR, M. Jacobs 142 M. S.

Having decided to remain in Corvallis in future, and give to my patrons the benefit of the latest and most fashionable styles of millinery, no finer or more expensive can be had in Portland or San Francisco; to this end I solicit my patrons and all others to come and examine my large and stylish stock, I have selected in person and will esteem it a favor to show my goods and give prices, as I am confident there has never been so large and rich a stock of Paris trimmed hats, bonnets and milinery ever brought to Corvallis before. Come and see. examine and satisfy yourselves. No trouble to show goods. Remember at my old stand uome one, come all. 20 Mrs. J.-Mason. Philomath Items. ah is quiet nere now as farmers are generally buisy finishing up their sowing as the late rains have prevented quite a num ber from getting through their spring seed ing. Fall grain and grain got in this spring iu good time looks remarkably well; the wet weather has been a drawback on gar dens on low wet ground, as there are several about here that have not yet been plowed this season. Those that are planted grow slow, as the weather has been too cool and wet. .mere nas Deen quite a boom in seilin-; id exchanging real estate here of Jate, amounting to several thousand dollars in the aggregate. Lots are being sold and fences built, and a prospect of some new buildings going up this season. Politics seems to be the older of the day, as we see some of the nominees quietly coming round to see what is the prospect of their election, and we hear it talked that there will be a third ticket in the field, strictly a temperance ticket endorsing temperance men already nominated on both tickets and supplying other places with good temperance men; quite a number are enquiring if our candidates are going to canvass the county. We have not been able to learn. It looks as though each was aa-aid of the other. Representatives bow is this ? Ob; ervep.. As Others see Us. We gladly publish the following letter from an observing traveler, and trust that it will serv e to interest some one in the mat ter of securing for Benton county a portion of the vast tide of desirable immigration that is now pouring into our state. Ben ten county can easily afford good homes for twice the number of inhabitants she now has, and still have room for more. We earnestly hope that some of our enterpris ing citizens wi'l profit by Mr. Douglas communication. Editor Gazette: If you have space for a traveler'3 impressions of your city and surroundings, I would like to express myself briefly of it, as a country: "Whe-e bieezesbc ffle hea; Where saued uel'sand mossy coverts be; Where giant tree to heaven raise their he ds; Where earth is free, and nature uneonined, Fills the soul with reverence." When the sturdy pioneers under the in spiration of " Westward the star of empire takes its way," followed the course of that guiding luminary, until they rested in this valley, even as the wise men of old rested when the "Star of Bethlehem:: pointed to the rude manger where the "Infant Redeemer" was laid. As his advent was the genesis of the life, producing tone, civi lization and enlightment, so was the settle ment of this sec tion, the practical genesis of the co-operation of forces, which has made this valley the "Garden" of the State. How lovely is nature;" Yes, and thous ands who live iu barren regions would do homage to the exquisite beauty of your scenery, the salubrity of your climate and soil, if inducements were afforded them to and you. Thousands of immigrants are coming to the northwest coast during the summer. Many have mends selecting loca tions for them, while thousands of others are undecided, but have abuundant means to secure desirable homes. One day last week two hundred and sixty persons arrived at Jiast Portland. Two hundred and fifty of them went to points "on the Sound," but not one came in this direction; Why? because as I understand the owners of large tracts of land in this county are indifferent about the tide of immigration flowing westward. They are going t3 sit cross-legged, arms folded, head inclined in meditation for the next twenty years, waiting for home seekers to find them. Another class those of the "dog in the manger" order, who will not cultivate the land, or sell to others for that purpose. The country is not benefitted by such landed capitalists, especially in these times of American enterprise and progress. Why not sweep the cobwebs from their former energy, anl freshen the valley with the touch of the plow so that not one nook or corner will appear neglected. There are thousands of acres of the best land under the sun in this valley, idle, un improved, and there are thousands of home and land seekers, who would be delighted to find this country of unsurpassed richness in soil. I know this, and I know too. if an immigration bureau was formed, and pioper inducements offered to persons in quest of homes and lauds, that the afternoon train arriving heie, instead of having only four passengers besides the train men, would have at least four coaches full of industrious, "well-to-do rarmers. Ward Douglas, City Election. In regard to the City election of Corvallis last Monday, I desiie to say that my name was placed on the ticket for Mayor against my advice, without my consent, without my knowledge until after more than half the tickets were printed, and without any de sire on my part to run for the office. I therefore tender thanks to the people of Corvallis for electing Mr. Jacobs, because he has heretofore made a good Mayor and be cause it is not a desirable place to occupy for no matter how faithfully and ably one performs the duties thereof, he can hardly K - " - as much as get a thank you for his efforts.
