Obituary. Lewis W. Gerard was
born in Miama county, Ohio, March
16, 1S23. He moved from Ohio to
Indiana, and was there married in
White county to Miss E. A. Penland
He served a term in the Union, and
was wounded in the assault at Peters
burg. From Indiana Mr. Gerard with
his family removed to Michigan, where
ten children were born to honor the
home circle, nine of whom still survive.
Eight of these (married) now reside in
Michigan. On account of failing
health Mr. Gerard, with his wife and
one daughter came to Oregon last
spring, and located for a time in Port
land. They came to Corvallis about
April 1st, where they have since resi
ded. Mr. Gerard was an active mem
ber of the G. A. It., in which he took
an earnest interest, and was also a
member of the Methodist church. The
bereaved wife and daughter have the
sincere sympathy of the entire com
munity.
A Unique Machinery Hall.
Another neat attraction at the great
state fair at Salem this fall will be a
machinery hall, which is no hall at all,
but a large tent. The canvas is iust
like a circus tent, and is fully seventy
feet in diameter. It is to be erected
on the site of the old hall and will af
ford accommodation for a large and
varied assortment of farm machinery.
The agricultural society has not time
before the fair three weeks to build
such a machinery hall as it would like,
and will make the tent do good service
this fair. One of the proposed im
provements for next year is the con
struction of a large building for the ex
hibition of machinery, etc. This year
the dealers say they will make the tent
display an attractive one.
The Wheat Market. Wheat is
strong at 86 cents per bushel to-day,
with good prospects of an advance.
The Albany Democrat stated that Sat
urday wheat was 80 cents in Corvallis
and Salem, while at Albany it was 86
csnts. This was a misrepresentation
of the situation so far as Corvallis is
concerned. The market opened here
Saturday morning with 83 cents and
before evening 85 cents was being of
fered. The conditions in the wheat
market are flattering, but of course it
is difficult to prognasticate the out
come. It is not wrong for the farmers
to take advantage of the present prices,
although one dollar may yet be ob
tained. W ithout a doubt better times
are in store for the people of the Wil
lamette valley.
A Lively Runaway. There was a
lively runaway on the streets yester
day afternoon. The four-horse team
of John Smith's, driven by Charles
Wheeler, became unmanageable near
Ben Waldt's brewery, and two of the
horses broke loose from the wagon,
when the others dashed at a rapid
speed down Main street. There was a
rush and a flurry among the business
men when they rushed to the scene,
but the horses did no damage to speak
of, for they were caught near Corvallis
college, aiter circling several blocks.
They were pretty well worn out with
their exciting experience, however.
In The Hop Fields. The Albany
Herald has the following bit of news
which may be of interest to the hop
growing community: In the vicinity
of Salem several hop growers have
commenced picking, and by the first
of next week hop picking will be in
full blast. In spite of lice there will
be the average crop. One grower
flooded the lice all off the vines with
water and then buried them. This
was done several weeks ago and there
are scarcely any lice to be found on
his vines. Another had Chinamen to
pull all the leaves off the vines early
in the season. He did this on thirty
acres and they are now ready for pick
ing. He has but a few lice. It is the
cleanest yard in the country. Where
the lice are, in picking, growers find
considerable mould.
Sermonizing. The editor of the
Prineville News talks to his creditors
in this way. He has never dealt with
a business people like we have in Cor
vallis, else he would change the tone
of his remarks. Hear his stentorian
voice: Tn the 17th chapter of Pro
verbs and the 22d verse it reads: "A
broken spirit drieth the bones." Al
ready we feel our bones withering and
becoming as brittle as Kansas corn
stalks, all because those who owe us
will not cash up with commendable
alacrity. This is not intended as a
personal dun, but to serve as a gener
al reminder that "whosoever stoppeth
his ears at the cry of the poor, he also
shall cry and not be heard."
The Game Law. In answer to
numerous inquiries as to the law pro
tecting game birds, it can be stated
that the season for shooting grouse,
pheasants, quail, ducks, geese, etc.,
opens on Sept. 1st - and not before.
The season for shooting grouse and
pheasants closes November i5th.
There will be -do legal shooting of
Chinese pheasants this season, as the
law protecting them does not expire
till Nov. 15th, and this protects them
until after the close season for grouse
and pheasants begin. The open seas
on for ducks, geese and swan shooting
lasts until march 1st.
Married. Mahony Kittredge
in jthis city, August 27th, 1891, at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Wal
lace, Mr. W. H. Mahony and Miss
Emma Kittredge, Rev. H. T. Satch-
well officiating, both of this city. Mr.
and Mrs. Mahony will spend their
honey-moon in Portland, after which
they may make their future home in
an Francisco, where Mr. Mahony has
been offered a good position. Their
numerous friends and acquaintances
all join the Gazette in wishing them a
world of unalloyed bliss and prosper
ity.
Died. Near Philomath, Oregon,
Monday, August 24, 1891, Mary Con
nor, daughter of Rev. T. P. Connor,
after a lingering illness with consump
tion for over a year. The funeral ser
vices occurred at Philomath, on Tues
day the 25th inst.
CONDEMNED,
Ammonia Baking
Bills have been introduced in the New York, Illinois
and Minnesota Legislatures compelling; the manufacturer
of such baking: powders to brand on the label in bold type,
this powder "Contains ammonia." Physicians and chem
ists condemn the use of ammonia in baking; powders as a
crime. Its constant use no matter how small the quantity
deranges the stomach, neutralizing the gastric juice and
destroying the complexion. It is the small quantities taken
every meal that do the mischief.
It is gratifying to know there are pure baking powders
to be had on the market and at no greater cost to the
consumer than some of these so-called "absolutely pure"
ammonia powders.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, the standard pure
cream of tartar powder for forty years. Free from the taint
of either ammonia or alum. None so pure None so whole
some. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques
tioned. j
Farmers Attention. To farmers
who do regular banking business with
us, depositing and drawing checks on
us, we will be pleased to furnish them
on reasonable terms, money to assist
them in paying expenses oi harvesting
their crops and assisting their other
business. Other kinds of business
handled on same terms. The First
National Bank, of Corvallis.
Hotel to Let. A first-class hotel
situated in an excellent locality and
doing a business which pays from
$3500 to $4000 per year to lease for
a term of years. This is a good op
portunity for some-one. The furniture
must be sold with the lease. Reasons
for leasing, on account of poor health.

THE OREGON STATE FAIR.
The prospects for a good State Fair were
never so flattering as they are this year.
The premium list has been revised, and in
many important points the prizes have been
increased. The entries in the speed depart
ment are the largest and best in the history
of the fair. The state fair is under the
management of the State Board of Agricul
ture, and over $15,000 in cash is offered in
premiums for exhibits of stock, poulty, ag
ricultural products, frnit, etc., works of art
and fancy work, and for trials of speed
The board is making every preparation for
a great meeting. Many valuable improve
ments have been made, and the grounds
have been cleared up and greatly beautified.
Electric and horse-car lines now run from
Salem to the gronuds. All persons wishing
a premium list for the fair of 1891, can ob
tain it by addressing J. T. Gregg, the sec
retary, at Portland, Oregon, or Geo. W.
Watt, assistant secretary, at Salem. The
fair begins on the 14th of September, and
will last one week. Send for a premium
list and prepare something for exhibition
this year.

A Joke on Hermann.
"I once had a singular experience,"
he said, "while giving a performance
at the house of the governor of Monte
video, in which I had the tables turned
on me. During my performance I
noticed three half-savage Patagonians
standing aside from the rest of the
company, and I at once determined to
have some fun with them. From the
nose of the first I took an orange, from
the hair of the second I took a number
of silver coins, and the third was over
powered with terror when I extracted
a live rat from his nose. Uttering a
cry of fright, the Patagonians with
drew. While receiving the congratu
lations of the guests on the success of
the entertainment I discovered that
my watch and chain, purse, eyeglasses,
and handkerchief were missing. In a
short time the Patagonians returned,
and the one from whose nose the rat
had been taken handed me the missing
articles. He had picked my pocket at
the moment he appeared to be over
come with fright." New Haven Union.

The five stones erected to mark
"Mason and Dixon's line" between
Maryland and Pennsylvania, have just
had their annual visitation by com
missioners, who report one in good
condition, one lost, one broken, one
dislodged by mining operations, and
the fifth, which bears on one side the
arms of Pennsylvania, on the other
those of Lord Baltimore, badly damaged
by vandal relic-hunters. .

"Castoria is so well adapted to children that
I recommend it as superior to any prescription
known to me." H. A. Archkb, M. D.,

"The use of 'Castoria is so universal and
Its merits so well known that it seems a work
of supererogation to endorse it. Few are the
Intelligent families who do not keep Castoria
within easy reach."
