McPherson, at one time a prominent journalist of Oregon, has been adjudged mildly insane and taken to the asylum for treatment. Some years ago he had a splendid intellect but his social inclinatiens led him into the whiskey habit, since which time he has gradually descended from the high position which he once occupied in the affairs of the state in spite of the tireless efforts of his friends. He pos sesses a kindly and genial disposition and is much beloved by his old-time acquaintances. In his more- prosper ous days, through the newspapers with which he was connected, he did good service for Oregon. He has written, many pleasing verses and now that the evening of life is casting its shad ows across his pathway, the concluding verse of his- lines entitled- '"Oregon," is brought to memory. Dear land, thou art mine; I inherit All the title to call thee mine own, And share with the friends of iny childhood Within thy wide limits a home. And when the last mandate is given, That bids me from lalor to rest, All I ask, save an entrance in heaven, - la to sleep on thy broad, peaceful breast..

Lee has been confined to his room the past week. Of late the doctor's health has not been as good as his friends would be pleased to have' him enjoy. A Chinaman who had been work in 5 on the narrow-gauge railroad nine miles east of Albany, committed sui cide last Sunday night by hanging him selt to an oak tree. Pi of. Letcher is in receipt of a very flattering offer to return to his native state. Virginia, and accept a position as professor of mathematics in one of the educational institutions of that state. Dr. Jenkins, from San Diego, passed through Corvallis Wednesday morning with a mule team which he had driven the entire distance, some 1600 miles. The doctor is out for the summer and will spend the time in the mountains of Oregon. Mr. W. W. Elliott, manager of the Elliott Publishing Co., San Francisco, publishers of birds-eye views, maps, lithographs, etc., was in Corvallis Sat urday and Sunday. He will be in this part of Oregon again in a few weeks, when he will make an effort to obtain some work from Corvallis and Benton County. Rev. A. Rogers has tendered his res ignation as pastor of the Congregation al church of this city to take effect about the first of September. Persons of Mr. Rogers' ability and power of or atory are not numerous aud his resig nation may prove to be a serious loss to the cause of Christ in this com munity. It is claimed that some of the evan gelists who predicted the destruction f Oakland, Cal., and other localities, are paying Oregon a visit. Tliey should be mindful of their own fate if they make any rash prophecies concerning any of our towns. We shall not allow the boom spirit to be retarded in any such manner. The W. V. & S. L. & L. Co. have in their office a sample of wheat which is said to be a remarkable example of pro ductiveness. It consists of fifteen straws from one 'gra:n the heads on the straws averaging seventy grains. The wheat is of the hazel club variety r.nd grew on the Bennett place on the Philomath road. A Sure cure for the whisky habit: Dr. Livingston's Antidote for Drunk enness will cure any case of the liquor habit in from ten to thirty days, from the moderate drinker to the drunkard.

Oregon, or from Allen it Woodward, sole agents, Corvallis. On Saturday last a freight train on the Southern Pacific was wrecked at Willsburg station, five miles from Port land. Four freight cars were derailed and badly smashed. The wreck-was caused by a large rock from one of the cars loaded with building stone falling m front of the car. Mrs. Delia Ander son, a laily of 65 years of age, who was standing on the platform, presumably waiting for the passenger train due in a short time, was struck by flying tim bers and so badly injured that she died in a few hours afterwards. A little girl who was with her barely escaped. The annual meeting of tho Oregon Press Association at the metropolis Aug. 14 and 15 promises to be the most attractive one yet held. The Portland people are making arrange ments to entertain the editors in fine style. They will have access to the cupboard at "The Portland" hotel rates $75 per month and sleep there too, at the expense of the eity, and will have free access to all. the theatres; also a free river ride to Astoria and tht beach when they will be toasted and "clammed," and other things too num erous to mention all free. Tidii-gs. Lawn- Sociable. A lawn social was given in the court house yard Wednesday evening, by the ladies of the Evangelical church, for the benefit of the Sunday school. Lemonade, cake, candies, and other refreshments were served in the open air, and the large gathering enjoyed the occasion very much. The liberality with which the band poured forth the entrancing music was not less gratifying to those present than the liberal quantity of ice cream they received for a quarter. The receipts above expenses amounted to $22.00. Wouldn't Keep Up The proprie tors have ceased the publication of the Daily Dallas Observer, and the paper will hereafter be issued in weekly form. One or two good weeklies, well ediied and well printed, is creditable to the average Oregon town, but then, news oaper meu are such enterprising and enthusiastic fellows that many of them branch out far ahead of the require ments of the times, and the public, failing to increase its pace correspond ingly, our brethren fail in their object. It takes a lively community to keep up with the newspapers' band wagon. Cruelty to Animals On Monday Charley Reed wanted to go home at the close of the afternoon performance of the circus, and when everything was in apparent readiness to start one of his horses concluded that he would remain until after the evening entertainment and possibly longer. An altercation followed which lesulted in the horse receiving a sound beating. Dan Fos ter, who witnessed the difficulty, at tached his oath to a complaint charging Reed with cruelty to animals and the case was heard by Justice Carlile and a jury on Wednesday. The jury disa greed, and the case will come up again this (Friday) morning. The Circus. The majority of peo ple have learned not to expect as much of circuses as is indicated by thS gorgeous displays on the bill boards and about that number was satisfied with Robinson's show on Monday. The person who imagines that a show is reflected on the sides of barns will not get the worth of his money when he attends. The advertisements are more attractive than they were years ago, and there is a greater stretch of canvas, but the elephant is much like he was then; the hyena is still a restless ani mal ami the old lion is as docile as ever. Those who saw the circus of twenty years ago saw the circus of to day. In all their "combinations" they seldom obtain anything new which is of much interest. A Cowardly Act. As Mr. Som mers was about to enter his room on Main street Monday night some person concealed near the door struck him a fearful blow across the face with some sort of a weapon that made him thii.k the heavens were ablaze. A numer of painful gashes were made where the facial bones were most prominent, and the flesh about the left eye is greatly discolored. Mr. Somers confesses that at the time the identity of bis as sailant did not interest him so much as getting into a place of safety. It is believed that the act was perpetrated by some one who wished to even up on Mr. Somers for the part he took, as prosecuting attorney, in suppressing the gambling which would have been rife during the stay of the circus had it not been for the attitude of the au thorities. Let it Drop. The real estate man whose departure from the path of rec titude was spoken of in this paper last week, makes a general denial in the Albany Democrat, of the statements concerning him. The paper adds: "The matter will undoubtedly be ex plained by the Gazette itself to the vindication of Mr. Beardsley. else we predict something will dtop." Well, let it drop. It is discovered that some people entertain a good opinion of the gentleman, but they must not flatter themselves that the statements pub lished in the Gazette "are infamous falsehoods," and Mr. Beardsley will not insist on having them proven. What ever explanations are due his friends should be made by himself. The Ga zette has no desire to injure the char acter of any reputable person, but frauds are not unknown in Oregon, ind when any stranger commits fraud ulent acts in a community he can with propriety be treated as one. Letter List. The following is a list of letters remaining in the Cor vallis post-office August 1st 1890: Mrs. ML AnDie Bennett, Gertie Burk, Lena Cole, Mrs. Alice Hewitt, Thomas Nel son, Mrs E. J. Smith, G. W, Smith. F. A. H elm, P.. M. BOBBED OF A LARGE SUM. An old gentleman was buncoed out of $5,000 last Tuesday at Sa lem. Following is the Albany Herald's account of the transaction as given by its Salem correspond ent under date of July 30: S. W. R. Jones, a wealthy farm er and land owner living north of the city, yesterday evening was confidenced out of $5,000 in gold in a bold swindle. Jones came here this morning and carried a lit tle tin box which he supposed con tained $15,000, but which instead was filled with a couple of stones. A man and a woman, representing themselves to be wealthy, called to buy his farm a few days ago, and while en route to Salem yesterday met another man representing himself to be a Louisiana lottery agent, who induced Jones to in vest in a ticket. He did and drew $5. He drew again and got $5. 000, which the agent said he could not pay unless he knew that Jones was worth that amount, whereon Jones came here and borrowed $5000. He then went and met the supposed agent, who pretend ed to put $10,000 in gold and bonds in a tin box with Jones' money, and then gave him the box to keep saying they would meet in Salem to day and cash the ticket. By a neat legerdemain he changed the tin boxes on the gull ible Jones, giving him one con taining rocks and making way with his money. Jones thought the game was honest till he came here with the box and found no man with a key for it ready to open it and cash his check. He broke into the box and was para lyzed at finding nothing but cruel stones. He offers $500 for the ap prehension of the lottery agent, with no show of ever hearing of him. On the 26th ult. James L. Hay wood, of Portland, driver of a wag on for the Northern Pacific Ex press Co., met with an accident which, it is thought, will undoubt edly result in his death. He was riding in an express wagon which had to pass under a large supply hose used by an engine to pump water on a smouldering fire. Hay wood neglected to duck his head in time, and was caught under the chin, and before the team could be stopped he was twisted double, causing a complete dislocation of his spine between the lourth and filth dorsals.
