The Albany papers last week contained "the testimony of Miss Mattie Allison, Thos. ilout.fi tli and C. H. Stewart before the cur Oner's jury, and the dying statement of Charles Campbell. The coroner's jmy found that Campbell came to his death at the hands of Saunders, and Mi.ss Allison was also held as an accomplice. They were both arrested and lodged in jail, and on Thursday of last week they waived examin ation in the justices court and were held without bail till the next session of the cir cuit court, which meets uext Mar- h. The testimony of Miss Allison before the coron er's jnry is to the effect that she and Saun ders had arranged a meeting with Campbell at which meeting she expected trouble, but. as she says, did not suppose there would be any shooting. She also informed a third party that Saunders was going to do her a .great favor that night. She says that Words passed lietween Saunders and Camp bell when they met, but the latter's dying statement is to the effect that not a won! was passed between the two men before Saunders did the shooting. The correct ness of either statement will have consider able bearing on the case. Before the case comes to trial Saunders and Miss Allison will haxe ample time for reflection on the enormity of the crime. Complimentary. Prof. T. F. Campbell and wife arrived in Corvallis last Monday evening, and on the following morning the Prof, began his labors, in the Agricultural College. We append a few of the coinpUmjuC try notices from our valley exchanges on las appointment to a chair iu this college: ""Prof. T. . Campbell of Eugene has been elected to the chair of mathematics in the Agricultural College at Jorvallis, with a sal ary of $1600 per annum. The Prof, is a man of great ability and will no doubt till the position with credit to himself and ben efit to the institution. Farmers desiring their sous to become prosperous and leading agricultural men, should avail themselves 01 a course of instruction iu the Agricultural Colletfe. Farmers ueed agricultural educa tion." "Tha BoaH of Regents of the Agricultur al College, held a meeting on the 28th ult., to elect a successor to Prof. Jos. Emery, who recently resigned the chair of mathematics to take charge of the Klamath Agency. The Board elected Prof. T. F. Campbell, A. M., of Eugene City. Prof. Campbell has been eminent in the educational held for many years not only in the Eisteru and Southern states, but more especially iu Oregon. We consider this a most excellent appointment as Prof. Campbell is a man of great ability and sterling worth." He Left Unpaid Bills. There came to C irvallis several monihs a gay young tailor, who worked for Wm. Morns until the time of the latter's decease, when he opened a shop of his own on Main street, where for a time he did a seemingly thriving business and won the financial con fidence of many of our citizens. About two weeks ago he left, ostensibly for the pur pose of making a short visit iu some other section of the state, but up to the present he has not returned, and it is not likely that ha will, and an outraged public mourns sun dry unpaid bills. 'Vats his name? It is Ered Lauchle, ad any information concern ng his whereabouts will be gladly received At this office. Cruelty to Animals. Some of our Bee ton county farmers seem . to be wonderfully lacking in guarding their own interests. During the late heavy rains this ks been particularly noticable in the fact that many who come to town from the country will leave their horses standing in the drenching rain all day long without any thing to est or a blauket to protect them from the inclement weather. This is not only a cruelty to the poor dumb brutes but is also a financial loss te the owner of the animal, since it would cost no more than 25 or 50 cents to feed and protect him from the atorm. This is not paid for or suggested by Jivery-atable owners, but is prompted by the fact that the poor horse the farmer's best friend is seen from this office every day deprived of his liberty, shivering in the sold rain, while his nnmercifnl master, if not around the pleasant fire in, some grog shop, is evidently in better quarters than be affords his faithful servant.

While the Governor's message, to the present legislature, read last Wednesday, is of much importance to the state at large; vet to the people of Benton County it is of much greater concern; more particularly in regard to his attitude toward the State Ag ricultural College. The people of the South Methodist church attempted to raise money ver a year ago to build an Agricultural College bui ding, on the Agricultural Col lege farm, adjoining Corvallis, which was donated for the use of the State Agricul tural College, by the citizens of the county. The parties manipulating the South Mstho dist College at Corvallis, (which was mainly done by B. F. Burch) at the time the land was deeded, hail the legal title conveyed to a committee under the control of the South Methodist church; instead of having tin title to the Agricultural farm made to th State, as the citizens intended, who sub scribed their money to pay for it. So wh 1 the church people last year invited suliseri -Hons to build an Agricultural College bui d ing on said land, the money could not be subscribed, because the people very just y siid that they would not subscribe money to build a State building on land the title to which was held by a church. The South Methodist Conference of 1S84 and also tin Board of Regents of Con' a lis (South Meth odist) College against B. F. Burch's pro test voted to tender the Agricultural Col lege back to the State, an 1 also annotated F A.exander, committee to deed said Agricultural farm, to 1 he State, to be used for State Agri cultural College purposes. In accordance with such directions the Agriclllt11r.il Col lege was tendered to the State, through tin last legislature and accepted by that txuly. all win li was against the edict of B.

The Portland papers awaken to their commercial situation with reference to the continuance of that city as the principal shipping point for the Pacific north-west. They seem to think, however, that the sound cities with a completed Northern Pacific railroad their only compe titors, and iu the immediate present they are probably correct; but we take uotice that in reality the few tons of wheat which have been sent to market by the 0. P. road from Yaquina has given them more real anxiety than anything else th it has happened in the recent history of this country. Let that road be completed to eastern connections and mother through line which takes in the southern portion of Eastern Oregon and ter minating ou the Siuslaw and the interesting features will increase.

Eugene Register. building on account of the delay. Instead, however, ot respecting the wish es of the people of Benton county iu this matter, where the school is located the Guv- , j eruor says iu his message, after refering to ire beginning to said act, anil stating that the short time elapsing between the passage of said bill ami the adjournment of the Legislature and the confusion attendant upon the closing hours of the session, prevented the Board of Re gents from being appointed and con firmed. His message further states that as he is "advised no detriment has resulted to the institution from this cause, and as no pro gress has been made in the work of erecting the proposed building for the College, it is suggested that the law lie so amended aa to postpone the appointment of the Board of Re-'euts until some time approximating the Kirobable erection of the College building." Who informed the Covernor that no detri ment had resulted to the institution because the law had not been complied with in the appointment and confirmation ot the Board of Regents? Certainly it was not the peo ple of Benton County who gave him such false information, but the people of Benton Jouuty, who had made the situation a study ami were in position to know, gave hiin di- n ctly the opposite information and politely skedhunto assist them in remedy iug the ! difficulty. B. F. Burch and his lackeys would circulate just such information as the Governor says he had. B. F. Burch on being questioned got up in his christian like spirit before the Board of Regents of Corvallis college a few days ago and told them that his South Methodist conference did not rescind its acts of the year before; but he told them what was false and so he would cause to be communi cated to the Governor false information if he thought it would answer his Christian (?) like manipulations. If the Governor has been deceived in this matter the people of Benton county will be pleased for him tc correct it at an early moment. If he does not correct it our people will calculate that Burch has a valuable assistant in the en deavor to force the church on the college and in the event that it can not be done to force the Agricultural College away from Cor vallis. We still believe and hope to learu that the Governor is mistaken on account of Having been imposed upon by erroneous in formation and the people of Benton county will be ouly ton well pleased to site this gloss wrong made right by an early correc tion. Otherwise the consequences will lie visited upon those who are working against the interest of Benton county in the endeav or to thrust the Agricultural college away from there. It is enough for the citizens of iJenton county to be opposed in the good work by such an unconsciousable schemer and political church man as Burch and let State officers do their duty under the laws as plainly pointed out to them.
