Real estate is now booming in Ben ton county and Corvallis. With the west side extension com pleted, won't Corvallis put on airs? Deceased meat continues to be found in the markets of San Francisce and Los Angeles. ,Dom Pedro has been deposed as emperor of Brazil. He is the "low jack" in the game now. Things in the building line will just fairly rattle around Corvallis in '90, Keep your-optics on this city. President Harrison has resigned. We mean the president of the Olympic club of San Franc:sco. The S. F. Chronicle is agitating the reduction of Btreet car fare to three cents. Isn't anickle-5 cheap enough1 The west side of the Willamette valley is now beginning to catch up with the east and, in time, will be in the lead. A man named Gray eight yeavs ago was offered five lots in Spokane Falls for $10 apiece. Last summer one of the five was sold for $45,000. An advertisement elsewhere in the Gazette calls for a school teacher.

This will meet with the approval of tshe republican party. Wyoming, Idaho, New Mexico, and Arizona, will be knocking for admission into the union as states when con gress meets next month. Let them tome in, if they prove worthy enough. In the whole history of great na tions no change of government so com plete was ever made in so short a space of time as the metamorphosis ot of the empire of Brazil into a republic. -A scHOOLBOY-in New Jersey recently read an essay on man, in which oc urred this pleasant bit of description: Man is a wonderful animal. He lias eyes, ears, mouth. His ears are mostly for catching cold in and having the earache. The nose is to get sniffles with. A man's body is split half way np, and he walks on the split ends. When those long overland trains Jiegin to pull through Corvallis it will be amusing to see how greatly sur prised the tourists will be at the fine and imposinglippearance of our pub lic buildings? They cannot help but see them, as the track is in the center of the city not away off to one side. An international 'postage stamp, good in England, France, Germany and the United States, is seriously proposed. Its chief use would be to enable persons to remit small amounts, such as are usually sent in stamps, from one country to another. It might pave the way for international coinage. Oregon crankologists are always jlrst in the field when a new party or lub is talked of. The "Nationalists" are the next to try and demand atten tion. If they form many more new organizations where, oh where, will the prohibition party be. Maybe when they all get formed it will be the "National Reform Prohibition Crank party." The new state of Washington has her great unfnown land like the in terior of. Africa. The country shut in by the Olympic mountains, which in cludes an area of about 2,500 square miles, has never, to the positive knowl edge of old residents of the territory, been trodden by the foot of man, white or Indian. These mountains rise from the level country, within 10 or 15 miles from, the straits of San Juan de Fuca in. the north the Pacific ocean in the west, Hood's, canal in. the east and the basin of the QumaU lake in thi h, and, rising to a height of 6,00u to 8,000 feet, shut in- ft vast ua explored area.. ? "THE PROHIBITION SHIP." Miss Frances Willard is a noble woman, endowed with a lofty spirit of philanthropy-bufc, tor all that, her vision is dimmed by the hazy atmosphere of impractibility that hangs over the prohibition camp. She is the trusted leader of an organization of truly, good women, whose actions ' are controlled more by emotional impulses than by the cold light ot reason. So when she arises in convention and deals out glittering generalities about the happy time when the "good ship Prohibition" shall come sailing into harbor, with colors flying and a cargo of prosperity and good will on board, she is cheered to the echo, and her . auditors hug to their bosom the delusion that they are saving the world and are happy. This is alWery fine, and does little or no harm; but for all that it will never solve the" liquor problem, says the Spokane Review. Prohibition has had a fair trial and has been found wanting. A few years ago the school of emotional orators declaimed so loudly and ear nestly that a great many people who recognized the evils flowing from the saloon, and observed, as all do, that high license fell short of the ideal, were influenced to the extent of giving prohibition a trial. That they have lived to rue the day, the results of the recent elections in prohibition states give ample proof. In some of these the sentiment against the experiment has grown so strong that the people, grown weary of an era of free whisky and unrestrained saloons, have risen with a strong impulse and cast the in cubus away from them. If the good ship Prohibition carries so generous a cargo of contentment and sobriety, ho v comes it that Iowa, harboring, as she has for several years, this figurative craft, has been unabl e to share a few of these blessings? If prohibition closes the saloons, banishes prisons and makes tenantless the aims, houses and insane asylums, why do we find these deplorable institutions within the limits of Iowa, Kansas, Vermont and other prohibition states? And where shall we seek an explanation of the political revolution that lately swept across the state of Iowa, and converted a hitherto republican stronghold into a democratic state, if the voters of that state are so contented and happy? -If there are no prisons, nor almshouses,, nor asylums within the broad borders of prohibition Iowa, why are the peo ple complaining of burdensome taxes, and emigrating by thousands into sur rounding states where the high license system is in operation? The Review (nor Gazette) is no friend or admirer ot the saloon. It does not seek to gild vice or evil, but it recognizes in the saloon the out growth, the effect, of a cause, and that cause, it believes, is a curse that has always shadowed the progress of hu manity, and always will so long as the animal part of man delights in the effects of alcoholic stimulation. At the recent meeting of the Christian Endeavor Society in New Haven, Conn., Rev. H. N. Kinney thus described the prayer meeting of the future: "It will in general be upside down and inside out, compared witn the prayer meeting of to-day. The prayer meeting of the future will have a cheerful open fire. The leader will sit where he pleases, only it will be near somebody. The com pany present will face one another in cozy groups around the evening lamps, only no one will be allowed his favorite corner." A nationalist remarks that if the government owned all the land, a house that now costs $6,000 could be built for $2,000, and would rent for $30 a year. Who would get the rent? It is said that the statue to A. J. Stevens, late master mechanic of the Central Pacific road, erected at Sacramento, is ' the first statue of a workingman erected- in this country. It would take a train 3,125 miles long to carry the Kansas corn crop. MOTHERS! Castoria is recommended by physicians for children teething. It is a purely vege table preparations, its ingredients are pub lished sronnd each battle. It is pleasant to the taste and absolutely harmless. It re lieves constipation, regulates the boweis, quiets pain, cures diarrhoea and wind colic, allays feverishness, destroys worm, and prevents convulsions', sootTies th6 child . and gives it refreshing and natuaal sleep. Cas toria is the children's panacea the mothers' faeud, 35 doses, 35 cents, 3U6-2y.. THE . CHAMBER OF TORTURE Is the apartment to which the unhappy sufferer from inflamitury rheumatism is confined. If, 'ere the crisis of pain is reach ed, that tine pieverititive, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is used by persons of V rheumatic tendency, much unnecessary suf fering is avoided. Nervines, 'anodynes and sedatives, while having none but a specific are yet very desirable 'at times.. Yet they can produce no lasting effect upon rheuma tism, because they have no power to elimin ate from the blood the rheumatic1 irns. H" tetter's Stomach Bittets does this," and checks at the outset a disease which, if al lowed to gain headway, it is next to impos sible to dislodge or to do more than relieve. Rheumatism, it should bo remembered, is a disease with a fatal tendency from its prone ness to attack the heart. A resort to the Bitters should, therefore, be prompt. Dys pepsia, kidney complaint, malaria and ner vousness are relieved by it. ml. PHYSICIANS- J. M. Applewhite, M. D.f PHYSICIAN and SURGEON, Corvallis, Oregon, Office at R.

The erection of three substantial brick edifices, a large steam flouring mill, a block ot elegant cottages (by outside capital) certain to be built the com ing season, with a canning establishment and other enterprises receiving favorable con ... sideration, speak well lor the development, ot the city.
