the Presbyterian church in this city last
Sunday. Services will be held at the same
church again next Sunday morning, at 1 1
o'clock. All are invited to attend.
"Have you heard of the valley of Baby
land?" asks Ella Wheeler. Yes, we have,
Ella; but what we are particularly anxious
to know is whether there is a path that
goes around it anywhere. Burlington Free
Press.
Mr. I. Vanduyn and wife, of Independ
edce, passed through our city the last of
last week on their way home from Eugene
City, where they had been visiting. Mr.
Vanduyn is a merchant at Independence,
where he has been for many years.
Creighton & Quivey are preparing for the
coming harvest. They are agents for the
famous Deering harvesting machinery;
and also keep wagons, hacks, and other
farm machinery. Farmers give them a call
before purchasing elsewhere and you will
find them pleasant men to deal with and
their machinery as represented.
Many of the citizens of Corvallis who at
tended the firemans' picnic at Albany last
Friday report a very pleasant time. A
match game of base ball was played be
tween the Salem and Albany clubs, and
was won by the latter by a score of 12 to
8. Some of the Corvallis nine took part in
the game on the Albany side, which prob
ably accounts for the defeat of the Salem
club. The Albany Engine Co. No. I, won
the hose race, and the Lebanon boys won
the first prize on fartherest water from the
engine.
The traveling public will be pleased to
learn that Brink & Wright, proprietors of
the Corvallis livery and feed stable on
Third Street, have lately put on a daily
stage line between this place and Elk City,
connecting with steamers for all points on
the bay. Stages leave Corvallis and Elk
City every morning at 6 o'clock. For
freight or passage enquire at the store of
Jacobs & Neugass.
The Nickel-plated circus, with its attend
ant side-shows and penny-catching devices,
has come and gone. Whether Benton
county has been benefited by their visit or
not is a question to be answered by the
citizens themselves who contributed to the
support of this expensive luxury,- and who
should know whether they have received' an
equivalent for their money or not.
The human leech who practiced his thieving
game of chance on our streets
was not as successful as he might have been,
but much more so than he deserved. Such
business as this fellow follows should be
prohibited by the laws of the state, for so
long as it is not prohibited there are, unsus
pecting persons who are induced by the
oily tongue of these leeches to sqnander
their honestly earned means for the support
of men who probably never earned a dollar
legitimately in the whole course of their ex
istence. It is a disgrace to any community,
aitrf reflects no credit on anyone trying to
"beat" such a game.
B. W. Wilson, county clerk, is expected
to arrive home from Washington to-morrow.
C. H. Whitney is rusticating on the
Bay this week, and looking after property
interests.
Fresh fish received every day at the New
Fish Market, one door south oe. Will Bro.'s

turned to Salem last Friday. M.'S. is ex
pected home to-day.
The city marshal and night-watch are
becoming terrors to law-breaking individu
als who visit our city.
Bev. P. S. Knight, of Salem, will hold
divine service at the Congregational church
in this city next Sunday, at the usual hours.
Some substantial improvements have been
made this week in the way of new side
walks on main street. Let the good work
go on.
Bishop R. Dubs, of Cleveland, Ohio, 'will
preach in the Evangelical church at Kings
valley, on Tuesday evening, May 27th at
7 o'clock.
Mr. Fred Zieber, formerly of Portland
but lately from'the east, arrived in Cor
vallis this week, and is now employed by
the O. P. R. E. Co.
The newly elected Recorder, E. H.
Taylor, tried his first case last Tuesday,
and from , the way he administers justice,
we predict a successful term of office for
him.
Independence, one of the oldest towns in
the state, is to have her first bank. J. S.
Cooper of that place has purchased from
Hall's Safe and Lock company a complete
banking outfit for 8500.
Mr. A. Andrews, route agent for Wells,
Fargo & Co. 's express, was in our city this
week investigating the workings of the
company, it is needless to say tnat he
found everything in "ship-shape" in the
Corvallis office.
The Sunday school in Kings valley was
reorganized last Sunday, with the follow
ing result: Supt., L. G. Price; Ass"t. Supt.,
Mrs. Barbara Chambers; Sec, W. C. Riggs;
Treasurer, Miss Sarah A. Wood; Organist,
Miss Bessie Boles, Chor. , M. J. Connor.
On Sunday next, May 25th, Bishop
Morris will Irold service, preach and ad
minister the holy communion at the Epis
copal church in this city. Sei vices com
mencing at 11 o'clock, a. M. There will
also be a confirmation, and baptismal
service.
On Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock a
childrens meeting will be held at the Evan
gelical church in this city. Addresses will
be delivered by ministers, interspersed with
singing. Mr. ana Mrs. JJeieo will also
sing a duett. All children and their friends
are invited to attend.
O. P. R. R. pay-master, C. C. Hogue, ac
companied by C. S. Jenks, were at the front
this week, making glad the hearts of the
laborers. From them we learn that the ex
tension to the warf at Yaquina City will be
finished this week, and that Jacobs & Neu
gass' large merchandise building is nearing
completion. 9
Geo. Thompson, son of R M. Thompson,
is lying dangerously ill at the residence of
his parents in this city. George had not
been feeling well for some time, and at the
fire last Monday he overexerted himself
and was seized with a violent hemorhage
of the lungs, and at this writing, it is
thought to be impossible for him to recover.
At 10 o'clock yesterday, and since the
above was in type, young Thompson died.
His remains will be buried to-day in the
Masonic cemetery by the I. O. G. T. Lodge,
of which order he was an honored member.
Mr. Kinman Vanderpool, of this county,
was in Corvallis last Monday, having just
returned from Eastern Oregon. He informs
us that he has located a claim on the
Deschutes river, where he expects to go
with stock next fall. Mr. Vanderpool
speaks in glowing terms of the famous
bunch-grassnu that section.
It pays to raise good horses. Last fall a
gentleman nearthis city, says the Albany
Democrat, sold three for $820 getting $400
for one, $200 for another and $220 for the
other. As he expressed it, "It costs no
more to raise a good horse than a poor one."
There is no reason why Oregon should not
be able to breed a 2:15 horse as well as New
York or Illinois.
Will M. Kirk, who has for so long a time
filled the position of foreman of the Gazette
office with credit to himself and entire sat
isfaction to his employers, took his depart
ure for an Eastern trip last Wednesday
morning. He goes to Corydon, Iowa, for
a visit to home folks, where he will remain
for an indefinite time, however we will ex
pect to see him on our streets again ere
many months. The best wishes of the en
tire Gazettk force, together with many
friends, will accompany you, "Will," in
your ramblings.
The M. E. church recently erected near
Oakville in Linn county about five miles
east of Corvallis, is completed, and it will
be dedicated on the first Sunday of June,
at eleven o'clock. Rev. I. D. Driver will
preach the dedicatory sermon. There will
also be services at three o'clock. There
will be a basket dinner on the ground that
all may remain to the afternoon services.
The neighboring clergy of other denomina
tions are invited to attend.
W. D. Nichols, Pastor.
Last Friday evening Woodcock & Bald
win received a car load of Garland stoves,
direct, from the Detroit, Michigan stove
company. This is the first through car
from the N. P. loaded with freight for our
merchants that has arrived in our city,
having made the trip from Detroit in 18
days. On the outside of the car was paint
ed on canvass in large letters covering the
entire side of the car "Through car from
Michigan Stove Company, to Woodcock &
Baldwin. To care of E. G. Pierce, T. & F.
Co., Portland, Oregon. Loaded with Gar
land stoves and ranges."
Fire in Corvallis. Last Monday a
few minutesbefore 1 o'clock just as the
circus band had begun their parade the fire
bell pealed forth the dreaded intelligence
that the tire fiend was again in our midst.
This time it was the house of Mr. John
Sylvester, occupied by a German family
named Schimmel, who recently came to
Corvallis, and had only been occupying the
house for two weeks previous. The fire
companies responded very promptly and
by their combined and well directed efforts
did very efficient work in quenching the
flames. Most all of the household goods
were saved with more or less damage, and
$500 will probably cover the entire loss.
We understand the building was insured
for the full amount. The enterprising
ladies weae prepared to receive the "fire
boys" on housing their engine and carts,
with the much needed refreshments, which
we scruple not to say were highly appreci
ated by the boys.
A Thrasher Thrashed. Frank Thrash
er, a saloon keeper at Summit, was "doing'
the city last Tuesday, and tmbibing fre
quently became noisy and troublesome, and
when remonstrated with by the marshal
and night-watch, he informed those gentle
men that he was a bad man from
and threatened them with violence should
they attempt to arrest him. This brag
jardism, it seems, did not have the desired
effect on the officers, a3 they immediately
proceeded to take him to the "cooler," and
in the struggle that ensued, night-watch
McLagan sustained a slight but very pain
ful knife cut, the point of a long, sharp
pointed bowie knife, which the would-be
Jessie James, had and was endeavoring to
use on the person of the officers, entered
the fleshy part of the left hand between the
thumb and index finger. The wound, al though
slight and not of a serious nature,
is painful and bled profusely, and is a deep
cut. After that he was conductedB'to the
city's free lodging rooms, and next morning
in Recorder Taylor's court was fined $40.00,
which he paid and peacabiy departed from
our city, no doubt a wiser man.
Accidently Shot. From Mr. J. D.
Graham, who arrived in Corvallis last Mon
day, we letrn that a son of Mr. F. M.
Wadsworth, agent at the Siletz agency, was
accidently shot by his brother one day "last
week. From all that could be learned of
the unfortunate affair, it appears that two
brothers were in the house playing with a
loaded pistol, when it was discharged, the
ball entering the shoulder of one of the boys.
The wound, although a dangerous one, is
not considered necessary fatal.
Drowned. Last Tuesday afternoon;
Mr. Edward Murray, proprietor of the Ex
change hotel at Albany was drowned while
fishing in the Calipooia river, near the
Magnolia flouring mills. A plank upon
which he was standing broke, letting him
fall into the river. He struck upon his
head, and was probably stunned, as help
was at hand, but wheu brought to land it
was impossible to save his life. Mr,
Murray is the third of the family who has
been drowned in the same placa -
Annual Conference. On Friday Morn
ing, May 23, the annual conference of the
Evangelical Association in Oregon will con
vene in the church of tliat denomination in
this city, Bishop E. Dubs, D. D. of Cleve
land, Ohio, will preside. There will be
preaching on Thursday, Friday and Satur:
lay evenings by different ministers. The
bishop will preach two sermons on Sunday, .
at 10:30 A M. , and 7:30 P. M. All are in
vited to attend. On Monday evening, May
26, Bishop Dubs will preach at the Inde
pendent school house.
The Practical Educator. Prot. W. S.
James, of Portland has issued the first num
ber of a monthly journal of the above name,
-nhicMpbas reached our table. We are
pleased to note its clean appearance, and
the reading matter oh the various education
al subjects are well written. Mr. C. H.
James, formerly of this county, and brother
of Prof. James, is employed in the office of
the Educator, as a compositor. Prof. James
will no doubt make this a desirable factor
in the journalism of this state, Subscrip
tion price $1.00 per year.

Our Half Sheet.
We are again under the necessity of giv
ing our readers this week the Gazette
with only one -half the usual amount of
reading matter; however it will be found
that it contains the usual amount of home
news. The cause of this is that our
"patent" came to us this week containing
an illegal and fraudulent advertisement,
which we will not impose upon our readers.
Trusting that our patrons will bear with usin
our disappointm ent, and believing they will
appreciate our efforts to expunge from the
columns of the Gazette all classes of such
advertisements, we hope soon to be able to
furnish the usual amount of reading matter.
DIED
JAMES. In Dallas, Polk county, May
19th, 1884, Rev. John James, aged 70
years and 26 days.
Rev. James formerly resided in Corvallis
as pastor of the M. E. Church, and has
many friends in this place.
THOMPSON. In this city, May 22, 1884,
George W. Thompson, of heart disease.
Aged 18 years.
Corvallis Will Celebrate.
That Corvallis will celebrate the coming
fourth of July is an established fact. The
committee on permanent arrangements have
decided to invite the pioneers of Benton,
Polk, Linn and Lane counties to join in the
demonstrations on that day, and the
pioneers' camp fire and barbecued ox will be
an attractive feature of the day. The com
mittee on transportation are negotiating for
an excursion train from Portland, and it is
expected to make this the gala day, and
one to be remembered in the history of
Benton county for many years to come.
The committee on arrangements have ap
pointed the following committees: Finance;
M. S. Neugass, T. J. Buford and Roy
Raber. Music; Ike Harris, Joshua Mason
and Earnest Korthauer. Invitation and
Transportation; C. H. Whitney and B. F.
Irvine. Grounds; Geo. Gerhard, D. M.
Lord and N. H. Wheeler. Liberty car;
W. Wright, W. H. Mansfield, Grace Hanna,
Bertha Neugass and Mrs. J. B. Lee.
Printing; W. H. Mansfield and A. P.
Churchill. A grand ball will be given in
the evening by the Corvallis fire companies.
Closing Exercises.
Tiie closing exercises of the North Public
School in this city last Friday afternoon
was well attended. The exercises began
with a concert declamation by 20 pupils.
"Old Iron Sides," and others, wherein ges
tures and modulations were combined, were
exceedingly well given together. The class
showed careful training. The slurred
passages, the most difficult to impress on
the minds of young elocutionists, were weh
delivered. The following pupils competed
for prizes in declamation: Misses. Mollie
Fisher, Eva Whiteaker, N. Brown, Ethel
Lewis, Cora Fisher, Annie Lewis, Ida Ray;
Masters. Eugene Allphin, Will Davidson,
Chas. Pratt, Frank Grubbs, and Jay Buford.
The judges of the contest were Supt. E. A.
Milner, Miss Hattie Wright, of South
School, and Mrs. Atwood. The first prize
was won by Eugene Allphin, and the sec
ond by Jay Buford. The pupils all did
well, reflecting much credit o the principal,
Prof. E. H. Bennett . It is to be regretted
that this county is to lose the services of
Prof. Bennett, who has accepted a chair in
the State Normal School, at Monmouth.
During his term as principal of thi6 school,
he has made many warm friends, and es
tablished for himself an enviable reputation
as a teacher. We wish him abunuaut
success in his new field of labor.

Fire at Philomath.
Our town was thrown into a state of ex-
eitement last Monday morning about 10
o'clock, when it was discovered that the
house occupied by Mr. T. Little, and be
longing to Mr. F. M. Carter cf the Siletz
Agency, was on lire. It was discovered by
Mrs. Little, and the alarm given, when
almost the entire town responded to the
alarm, but owing to the fact that a strong
wind was blowing from the north-west, and
the insufficient means at hand with which
to fight the fire, it was evident that it
would be impossible to save the house, and
everyone went bravely to work and suc
ceeded in saving nearly all of the household
effects in good condition. It was thought
that other houses in the vicinity would be
burned also, but fortunately they did not.
The fire originated from a defecth-p flue.
The loss will probably amount to about
$500. This is the first fire that has oc
curred in our place for three years. I hope
that the city council will now see the nec
cessity of having some regulations in cases
of fire, as a jwell organized company could
have easily subdued this fire with but little
loss. Observer.
