Sometime nbnut miJnight Mrs. Altnian heard somebody in the house and called to awaken ber husband when the imp of dnrknefs took the alarm avid made good his retreat. An entrance had been effected through a window in the rear of the building. The prowler got nothing to reward his labors.

The students have boon very quiet this week, the contest having filled every ones mind for ao long that, now it is over, the students have nothing to say. Several per sons have been seen wearing their society badges with a bow of crape attached, it was noticed though, that these persons belonged to the Ciceronian society. The senior agricultural class has finished a course of 24 lectures in "stock feeding and breeding." The class new takes np the study meteorology for the rest of the term. The class in advanced Zoology has just com pleted the dissection of a turtle; a member of the order reptilia. The dissection was made in order to see the advancement in the structure, etc., over the fi3h. Perma nent mountings, for microscopic work, of sections of an artery and vein of the salmon hare also been completed by the class. The usual literary programme of the Websterian society for February 20th, has been replaced by a' 'mock trial" this prom ises to be most interesting, and no doubt, great ability will be shown on that occasion. As proposed, the trial will bo as follows : W. T. Lee charges E. T. Watts with assault and battery. The judge for the occasion is Mr. B. F. Burnett, the prosecuting coun cil are J. F. Allen and R. C. Finley, while G. W. Denman and Marion Johnson, ap pear for the defeoso. The regular officers of the court have been chosen", and it has al so been decided that half of the jury shall consist of young ladies. Mr. Joe Alexander, who until lately has been taking a post graduate course in chcnn istry, left the college a few days ago, and now occupies the position of clerk in Mr. Davis' drug store, at Yaquina.

Taber a visitor from eaBtern Washington, called one d:iy this week. The gentleman was formerly a resident of Linn county but tor the past 20 years has lived i'l Whitman county Wash., until now, he has become tired of the severe climate of that country and is looking about the Willamette valley with a view to locating. He can surely be suited in Benton. We have been favored for tho past two nights with a grand entertainment by Alba Heywood and bis peerless company. Tney turnisnea a rennea programme, costumed impersonations, character songs, solos, duets, and fine orchestral selections. Thy played to good houses, and we bespeak for them good business wherever they may go. They are deserving of liberal patron age Graud Rapids, Mich, Ex. Monday on South Eeach, Yaquina bay, the body of a man was washed ashore, and picked up by the residents there. It had evidently been in the water a long timo, being badly de composed. The men was plainly dressed, with three pairs of overalls on. Nothing Was found on him to identify him. He was probably drowned miles away from Yaquina and had probably been m the water several months. - A goodly crowd always manes its way to tho river bank to greet the steamers on their arival. After all there is a lingering fondness for the relics of ye olden, time when the river furnished the only line of steam trans portation up and down the valley and its time cards were as familiar as those of the railroad are at the present day. A steamer leaving this place every morning would have a considerable passenger traffic. The directors of tho Yaquina Fruit Company held a meeting on the bay last week and levied an assment of $750 to be expended in cultivation and improvement of the orchard they have planted, which comprises ah ex panse of 200 acres. There are ten stockholders in the company, some liv ing in Corvallis, some in San Francis co, and others in different parts of the countrv. M.

SfiU!KEI2E;P3JB& THE NEW COUNTY OF LINCOLN. The agony is over! The die is cost! Lincoln county looms up in the proud glory of her own springnpfnlhess and the children of Isllmaol rejoice its high strains of exultant gladnt-ss. The bill passed the house Monday by a vote of 44 to 9. Bshton's two representatives voted hi favor of it. Tho next thing in order will be the compiling of an abstract of all taxes levied upon prop erty within tho boundaries now made Lincoln county, and all such taxes not paid when the law goes into effect shall be collectable and payable into the treasury of the new county. The measure provides that the treasurer of Lincoln-county shall pay back to Ben ton the full amount of last year's state taxes involved in the division. Politically the division seems to have knocked the essential vertebra; right square out of the republican party in Benton county. " According to figures collated by the Times we are complete ly "Texasixed," having a relative strength of a little over one republi can against three democrats. As a successful piece ot gerrymandering the scheme is entitled to the profoundest political congratulation. Let the band now play. Turn the monkey loose ; and if the republicans can't always reach the highest seat in the circus they will be found making it mighty interesting for the management while i they have lots of fun poking sticks at the big elephant and playing "keeps" with the follow that peddles 'lasses candy. By the way, husn't it been remarked, at some poriod within tho recollection of liviug men, that "This was a republican legislature!" In the split up Benton is allowed one representative, Lincoln orio repre sentative, with a seiirttor jointly be tween the two counties. As to the fiscal standing of the new county, her taxable wealth is com puted at a little over $700,000. Tbe new county starts but cn a proposed basis of extrefne economy, allowing salaries depressingly low to her pros pective official. If everything works as tbey have figured thoro is no rea son why they should - not pull through all righti But therein lies the ques tion. Will everything work as they have calculated i We ttlull se. Times are hard. Taxation at best is burdensome. To make the chango will entail an Expense under which the bay people will groan before they get done with it, now mark ye ; while the unjust burden it will throw upon own ers of Yaquina real estate resident in Benton will be little short of outrage ous. There are rriauy good friends to tho Lincoln county cession had it been sprung at an opportune period, either in the past or future, who pronounced ly deprecate the move at this time. A BRUTAL FATHER. A revolting tale of cnuiinality comes from Polk comity, on thero".d between Salem and Dallas, wherein one Ed. Halcomb is charged with having made three daughters the victim of hi" in cestuous brutality. The crime it is re cited, has been; going on for years, taking in its hideous toib one child after another a? tliy grew in years to the age of possibility, the last of whom being only ID yens' old. Tne two older girls ate row married, one m good circumstances in southern Ore gon. There is a large' f.tmily of child ren and the mother is alive. Accord mg to the story of the boy who let the facts out he has long had knowledge of what was going on, but the neighbors never suspected until he told it, when the beastly father skipped out between two days. He would probably have been lynched had he been caught. N6 fear of a flood need be enter tauied, so far as this "break up is concerned. The river readied its highest Monday afternoon, when it was 18 feet 4 inches above low water gauge. Snow in the valley has gone oft gradually and that in the mountains is wearing away by degrees, while the rain showars have been wide apart and not heavy. The combination worked nicely. Well get out of this picnic without chartering a Noah's ark, after all. ..- ; . The man who paints his yard fence; cleans up his premises", whitewashes his barn and outhouses and keeps the weeds Jrom growing ori the side- walk in front of his gate; is a greater benefactor to the city than tbe indi vidualwho spends his time on the street comers prating about a silurian city and the dead conditiorrof his adopted home; HOW ABOUT THAT! Murder suspkcted ow the bat wothisS IOllB TO SIFT OUT Tfi CASS. The people of the bay think the have, Iiiddtn in their liildst; it case of heinous ciime. They haye been sus picious in that direction for the pal two weeks, and still at last accounts) they had done nothing to clear, up iri their vexed minds the suspicious cir cumstances involved iri" the case. , Two weeks ago to-day Maggie Nor-2 ton died within a very few hours after1 her illness set in, and with her de- parting life "went also that of her still- " born child. The woman was buried Vut her friends wore dissatisfied and -talk about the case in tho neighbor- hood resolved into the opinion that she had been poisoned to death. She was the wife of Charles Norton -alia 4 Mansori field, from whom she had sep arated at Walla Walla where he now resides. They had a child a year or sd old. She had come with this child back to her mother, who lives ori the " bay. She came, as the story goes, ia a destitute condition and very scantily clad, owing to Norton' heartlosg . neg ligence to provide for her, and wad working out on the bay to support herself and child. The little one wasi taken very sick. Norton was sent fof without the knowledge of his wife' and came to attend at the bed side of the cliild. In the meantime Mrs. Nortori had shown her mother some powders' Norton had given her and urged heir to iake4 but she determinedly proni ised her mother she would not take them. With tho fact that she waa fol some timo alone in the sick room with Norton up to the hour of her deatli this powder feature is associated, and putting all the circumstances together the theory of foul play, in the minds of the community, was jiiita' well es tablished. Tbo Gazette repeats the 6tory simply as it gets it, for the reader .to take for wirrft it ia worth. The singular part of it (s that iri the face of so grave a case as this is made5 to be, nothing has been done by ihose . people to sift it flown to the facts' an4 bring it to a just conclusion. An of-? ficer from that place waa in thitf city a week ago last Thursday; "working up the case" as he said, and solicit-' ing a physician in Coryallis to go and make a post mortem examination to settle the matter of poisoning. He was" properly advised that they had physicians near at hand to do that du ty. So they have. They also htive? every legal functionary required to of-"- ficia'te in such case, whereby it might? have been scrutinized through and through and the facts aacertaincd at a moiety of expense. What was the sense, then, of posting out here to Cor- valiis to get'the matter attended to; when the onlv difference would haver been to have piled up a big expense" bill on the county? Then, failing iri this, it looks on theface of it as though the bay authorities had "sulked iri their tents," had hot lifted a finger iri their duty of clearing up a matter' which they are so sufficiently assured Ls a very grave one that they are justi-7 fied in keeping up tho alarm ciy; "Crime! probably murder." This smacks very much of the 'old1 farmiliar style from that section iri th history of Benton's criminal litigation j but the bay people must now remem ber that they have set up" their Owrf autonomy, and that this case would) have beea ari excellent one for them to' have begun on. The big, fat mileage accounts and witness fees are now ob solete. Benton county is able to man age her own criminal affairs. Sic transit gloria Lincoln county. THAT'S WHAT.
