Madison was brought to Corvallis
on Wednesday and lodged in jail,
he being in a very crazy state of
mind. AtYaquina City on Sun
day evening lie made an attempt
to commit suicide by drawing a
razor across his neck and shoulder.
He was not successful, however,
as he missed the jugular vein. He
resided about eight miles from the
bay on Dritt creek, and having
come to the city became perfectly
full of bug juice. His attempted
suicide was not known in Yaquina
for he got on to the morning train
and went to Toledo, the wound
not having been attended to. In
the car where he was, quite an
amount of blood had collected on
the floor and the conductor noticing
it discovered the fellow's condition.
Medical assistance was given him
at Toledo. On Monday night he
was seen at the residence of Allen
Parker dripping wet from the
effects of having come in contact
with the waters of the bay. It
was thought best to have him ex
amined as to his mental condition,
which was done on Wednesday
afternoon, and he was pronounced
insane. Yesterday he was taken
to the asylum at Salem. The
eause of his insanity was alcoholic
drink. He was 37 years old.
Stole an Overcoat. Last Sun
day evening T. C. Case left his
vercoat hanging on the front
porch of his residence on Ninth
street, it being quite damp. The
next morning he had an occasion to
go down town to open up his bar
ber shop and it being rather cool.
went to get the coat to put on but
somehow or other it was not there;
neither was the contents of the
pockets which consisted of a re
volver, some plug tobacco, and
other small contraptions. It is
supposed that some tramp saw it
hanging on the wall, and, thinking
he needed just such a piece of
wearing apparel, quietly "cab
aaged" on to it. "Tam" says he
doesn't mind the loss of the coat
and revolver but he does hate to
lose the 'backer. Corvallisites,
T&eware! Don't even leave your
socks out of doors. Tramps are
mighty curious people cometimes.

A Snake Story. In the San
Francisco Examiner of December
6th, the following is found, which
is taken from a letter written by an
Oregon lady living in Wasco
county, when describing a child's
berth: "Where the child's fingers
and toes ought to have been, there
were rattlesnakes' heads, and there
was a small snake growing from
the top of its head and hung down
on its face. The head of the snake
was the child's nose, and whenever
the baby moved the snake on its
face would rise up, run out its
tongue and hiss. The baby only
lived five hours, but the snake part
Jived five hours longer."
The steamer N. S. Bentley made the
sun from Albany to Corvallis on Tues
day in one hour and forty minutes
The Institute. A large at
tendence of teachers at the com
ing three days' session of the Sec
ond district institute in Corvallis
is assured. Superintendent Mc
Elroy has visited almost every
county in the district and an un
usually large number of the
"knights" of the school-room have
promised him to attend. To
every teacher in Polk, Linn, Lane,
and Douglas, personal invitations
have been sent. The entire facul
ties of the Roseburg and Engene
public schools will be on hand, and
the state university and state nor
mal schools will be well represent
ed. Oregon City's principal and
several of his assistants are expec.
ted. Let every teacher in Benton
county, and all others interested
corne out and enjoy a feast of fat
things. Remember the date of
beginning$Thursday,Deceraber 26.
It will be during holiday week and
it should be the duty of all the
citizens of Corvallis to receive
their visitors in a most cordial
manner. Arrange your worK so
you can attend all the evening
sessions anyway.
In New Quarters. On the river
front just below the ferry a lot be
longing to F. Blumhart, the fery
mau. has been purchased by L. L.
llurd and Johnson Porter and in a
few weeks a new building will have
been erected upon it. This will be
occupied by this company's elec
tric light plant which will be moved
from its present position in Hurd's
planing mill at the foot of Madison
street The new tubular boiler,
purchased in Portland last week
by Mr. II., lias arrived and is lying
in the Cauthorn wharf. It is 15
feet 10 inches in length, 44 inches
in diameter, and has 46 tubes; the
smoke slack is 50 feet and when
attached to the boiler will reach to a
heighth of about 60 feet. A 50
horse power engine will be procur
ed and will furnish all the power
necessary for running the dyna
mo of the lighting "system. It is
also reported that Fred Blumhart
will erect a building adjoining in
which he will manufacture ice dur
ing the hot season, the power to
run the machinery to be furuished
by the afore-mentioned engine dur
ing the daytime.
Furniture Factory. In this is
sue of the Gazette appears an ad
vertisement of the furniture estab
lishment of J. A. Knight. It prob
ably will be a surprise to most
outside people to know that Cor
vallis has a furniture manufactory,
but such is the case. Mr. Knisrht
has been in business here since
1860, and being an experienced
cabinet maker has built up a large
trade. In the year 1870 his factory
was burned down an J the present
building was soon erected, in
which every assortment of furni
ture is manufactured. Anything
that you purchase of him is guar
anteed to be very substantial and
all home make. Remember him
his store and factory in on the
north-east corner of Monroe and
Second street.
A Prune Farm. Rev. A. Rog
ers, of the Congregational church
in this city, has been seen to cross
the river on the ferry quite often
of late and his actions caused a
Gazette reporter to enquire into
the matter and find out the this
ness of the thusness. lie was in
formed that this reverned gentle
man had purchased ten acres of
land of Mr. Wilbanks. situated
about one mile and a half east of
the ferry, and was engaged in set
ting it out to prune trees. He will
have 1,000 planted mostly of the
Italian variety, and when they all
get to bearing he will have a young
gold mine right at his door and,be
ing over the river in Linn county,
he can put his name down for a
neat sum to aid in bridging the
Willamette.
Luke D. Smith, of Gervias, came up
on Saturday to take in the sites of
Corvallis and visit with his best girl
He returned Monday mornings
December 25th. As a military
company of the second regiment of the
Oregon National guards, E company of
Corvallis is foremost in the matter of
being the best drilled and giving the
most interest to the work demanded of
them. During the holiday week of
1887 these boys gave their first annual
ball and so successful was it financially
and socially that it stimulated them to
follow it up with the second one last
year. As regards the financial out
come of it there is not much to say as
a smallpox scai e prevented much ot
an attendance, nevertheless, the event
was pronounced as the finest society
doing's of the year. For the coining
holiday season the company has ar
ranged to give a masquerade ball on the
night of December 25th. Invitations
have been sent out already and indica
tions so far show that it will be a very
"exquisite" occasion. Only those
whose characters are beyond reproach
will be allowed to attend thus insuring
a splendid social gathering. The
price of admission for maskers has
been placed at $1; and for spectators
50cents. Let all of those of Corvallis
who take pleasure in "tripping the
etc.," attend for there is no doubt that
it will be a pleasant occasion. By
your help in swelling the number pres
ent so you enlarge the company's treas
ury. Ten Years Married. Zephin
and Mrs. Job celebrated the tenth
anniversary of their marriage at
their beautiful and cozy residence
on Third street on last Monday
night. There were about seventy
five guests present. Rev. A. Rog
ers of the Congregationat church,
tied the tin knot in a happy man
ner. Numerous presents of tin
manufacture were brought and
given to the new-old couple and
there need be no danger of a bank
failure in Corvallis asZephhas the
tin to cover all emergencies. Nor
ris H. and Mrs. Looney and Mrs.
Cornell of Jefferson,Marion county,
were present.

It is understood that all the build
ings on the bulkhead at Yaquina City
will be moved in the spring and that
the Oregon Pacific company will pro
ceed to fill in the space between the
bulkhead and the bluffs for track pur
poses, warehouses and shops. If this
is done the company will probably lay
out the town aud sell lots. With
proper storage facilities and vessels to
carry it, thres-fourths of the grain and
other products of the Willamette val
ley will pass through this port.
T. W. Symous, a U. S. civil en
gineer, is now in Portland, having
bepn sent out here from Washington,
D. C.,to take the position made vacant
by CapL Willard Young's transfer
ment to Memphis, Tenn. Mr. Sy
mous left Portland in 1882 after hav
ing acted as engineer of the depart
ment of the Columbia for about four
years.
If you wish to make your friend a
nice Chrstmas present buy hirri a

holder. Such can be had of A. Hodes
at his bakery and grocery. He also
has several other Sue articles that are
suitable for holiday presents.
David Link, formerly of this city,
but lately of Albany, is now a partner

Works begins in January.
It took a special meeting of the council of
this city, held on Tuesday evening last, to
decide about granting the street railway
company the franchise they prayed for. But
"They got there just the
same,
As they have just such a
name,"
and the ordinance was passed with seven
votes in the affirmative and two negative.
There is nothing now in the way of the
company doing what they have agreed to
do construct a street-car line. It is under
stood that they will soon have articles of in
corporation filed and begin letting the con
tract for grading and laying the track.
The rails will be ordered in a few days and
are expected to arrive in a month after be
ing shipped. The work will begin early
next month and be pushed right along as
fast as the weather will permit. The point
of beginning will be near the postoffiue,
thence north to intersection of Monroe aud
Second street and westerly along Monroe
street to Seventh street, thence north to
Harrison, west to Ninth, north to main
street leading into Job's addition. If you
desire to know what privileges the county
commissioners have granted the company
read the court proceedings of the December
term elsewhere in the Gazette.
Now, a word or two more. Don't do
anything, don't even put forth a remark,
against this project. Whenever the first
block of the railway is completed a change
will take place in Corvallis that will tear
the moK from the hacks of some of her
ancient people and a new era in the pros
perity of the city's growth will begin.
There are several more movements to fol
low: A bridge over the Willamette; a
water-ditch for power purposes; a connec
tion with the S. P. main line; afruit cannery;
railway connections with Brownsville;
and more complete system of sewerage.
Thirty-thousand dollars alreidy have been
guaranteed for a water-ditch. Several thou
sand can be raised in a short time for a
bridge over the Willamette. Five acres of
ground near the depot will be leased free of
charge to one who will construct aud oper
ate a fruit caunej-y thereon. New brick
buildings are wanted in the center of the
city so thas the merchants who have been
here since the '60s can branch out and show
themselves. Iu short: Coevalus is
awake.

metropolis on Wednesday. The latter will
soon go to Cheney, Wash., to enter a college
there conducted by the Congregational, de

The improvements, being- made in. the.
Presbyterian church are o? quite an exten
sive nature. They will cost several hundred
dollars and the old church will start in new
apparel for the uext decade. It is expected
that still other alterations will be made
next summer. ; . .
Four lots in J. H.' Nicholas' tract, of 30
lot on Ninth street between Monroe and
Jackson, have been sold to parties in Leb
anon for $900 since Friday last. A promi
nent business man of this city has also
bought him the three lots on the northwest
corner of Madison and Ninth streets paying
775. And early ia the spring he will erect
two tine cottages thereon.
Quite a number of passengers are trans
ferred nearly every day from the Oregon
Pacific to the down west side train for
Portland at the "crossing" just north of
Corvallis. Every evidence shows that it
will not bo very long until a depot will be
erected there for the accommodation of the
public. This crossing is on the Eplin prop
erty lately purchased by a syndicate and
which will soon be laid off iuto city lots.
The "Early Reapers" mission band of the
Presbyterian church gave tiieir tirst fair at
the parsonage on Wednesday evening. A
large attendance of people were present and
the beautilul articles they offered for sale
were quickly purchased. The young ladies'
society assisted the band in serving refresh
ments and the receipts of the eveniug were
about 45. To their president, Mrs. A. A.
Schenck, the great success of the enterprise
is largely due. Her untiring energy and
skill have contributed very much towards
making this organization oue of great inter
est and profit to the children. They start
on another year's work the tirst Saturday in
January.
P. Lutarch Lewis left Corvallis about the
first of November to take iu the country be
tween here and the lower poitionof the
golden state. He traveled around until he
became "broke" and, before he could receive
any financial aid from sources iu this city,
was compelled to foot it a few miles.
About November 25th a stage was robbed
between Roseburg, Douglas county, aud
MarshKuld in Coos. P. Lutarch happened,
so he says, to come along the road shortly
after where the depredation was committed,
and some detective or U. S. marshal think
ing he was the man took him in charge aud
placed him uudvr arrest. He was conveyed
to San Francisco and will be brought to
Portland where a trial will be given him,
and if it can be shown that he is iunoceut
will very likely beaL.wed to go free. This
is an unfortunate experience for one who
has always resided mi Benton county, and it
is to be hoped that it will act as a cure to
his desire for seeing the elephant. Lewis
has a wife, two children, aud an aged moth
er, residing here, and it would be well for
him to take the next train home should he
prove himself not guilty.
On Tuesday, the new government official
T. V. Simond?, who has lately been given
charge of harbor improvements on this coast,
made Yaquina a visit of inspection. He
was accompanied by Wm. M. Hoag. Mr.
timouds expressed himself as very much
pleased at the work being done aid the pro
gress made, and it is said will make a good
report. - The increase of deplh by reason of
the jetty work he pronounced very satis
factory and does not hesitate to say that
Yaquina will make a good harbor. His visit
there has infused new life into things at the
Oregon Pacific's terminus, and real estate
continues upwards. Parties on the inside
advises people to hole their property for a
boom, as one is bound to come. . Another
interesting item is the fact that the Oregon
Development company is having built at
Philadelphia a bran now steamer with a ea
pacity of 2500 tons, which will be placed on
the route from Yaquina to S;m Fraucisoo
during the coming year. Is is said to be a
tine boat ami only trusted men will be placed
iu charge of it.
Last Saturday the Yaquina bay
board of trade was permanently organ
ized at Newport, and a charter filed
with the secretary of state. The offi
cers are as follows: Dr. J. R. Buy ley,
president; A. J. Ray, tirst vice presi
dent; Samuel Irvin, second vice presi
dent, and W. C. Shepard, secretary.

Twenty-three standing committees were,
appointed. The membership com
prises most of the leading business men
aud property owners on the bay.
When the contracts for constructing the
street r ailway are let the company shall
have it stipulated that the laborers must be
procured right here in Corvallis; if possible,
thus distributing the money at home.
