THE 4TH-OF-JULY AGAIN.
Scarcely have the spring rains ceased
when evidence of an approaching
fourth of- July appear. To many
people the frequent recurrence of this
dayis a little wearisome, and they ob
serve it much in the same spirit that
Will Thayer issued his thanksgiving
proclamation, in accordance with a
long established custom. Ilaml
bills are out announcing that a public
meeting is to be held in the court
house tills evening, the object of
which is to make initiatoiy arrange
ments for celebrating the coming
4th of July in a becoming manner in
the city of Corvallis. The notice
calls upon everybody to turn out and
take an interest in the meeting, and is
.signed "Many Citizens." This is the
usual form, but who has ever known
of everybody turning out or of there
being any marked degree of interest
taken in one of these preliminary
meetings. They are almost alwa8
disappointments to those who start the
movement (or a celebration. In the
busy otcupations of this day, and the
physical andjnentd strain for practi
cal and tangible results, it may not be
expected that many persons will give
more than oue day in each yea r to
the commemoration of an event of
more than a century ago. Therefore,
should there be a sinad turnout this
evening, it will not be an omen of the
dual result of these efforts, for we
shall join you in -force on the 4th.
The work of arranging for a celebra-:
tion and the annoying incidents, there
to always fall upon a few and this is
one of the causes which make for
the unwelcome approach of the 4th.
However, it may be presumed that the
movers in these matters obtain recom
pense in one way or another.
MEMORIAL EXERCISES.

worth W. R. C. will attend union ser

EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE.
Tbe following self-explanatory note is
from the Dodgo Center (Minn.) Record:
Eo. Record: We wiah, in more than
the usual card of thanks, to extras? our
gratitude to frienda in a distant state and
in our own, who were unremitting in their
kindness to our departed liuubaud and
brother, C. L. Hoard. Especially do we
feel grateful to J. A. Gibheard and family,
of Corvallis, Oregon, at whose home his
last days were' Bpvnt und who could have
done no more for their own brother. Barn.
urn Lodge, I. O. O. F., of Corvallis, did all
that fraternal duty aud hearts of kindness
could prompt. Other friends also, both
hero and in Corvallis, were kind and help
ful and . have o ur sincere gratitude.. In
these expressions of thankfulness, the only
surviving daughter and all of the relatives
join. Mrs. Sarah Hoard,
Mr-i. Lydia HATcn,
F. E. Hoard.
Miss ijena iJriggs returned trom a
protracted visit with the family of her
uncle at Canyonville in Douglas
county. She speaks in high praise of
the hospjtalilyof the little town which
was at one time an important trading"
point on the California stage route.
The railroad left it to one side and its
business has since languished, but the
development of the mining industry
in its vicinity promises to renew its
prosperity. Miss Lena regretted to
forego the strawberries and cream,
the season for which had been ushered
in before her departure for - home.

such as pertains to the confiscation of
Benton county's school fund. If other

may obtain relief by subscribing for the
Gazette. When attempts are made
to wrest from the. school children of
this county the means of obtaining an

FEROCIOUSWOEK.
Yesterday morning at alxiut 5 a. m.
a disturbance occurred in the Chinese
lodging house adjoining Mr. Schmeer's
livery stable, says Tuesday's Albany
Herald, and a Chinawoman was found
in front of the stable fearfully slashtd
with a knife and bleeding profusely.
Investigation elicited the facts, that
the cutting was done by Hum Gjw,
the ' big Chinaman well known for
years in Albany as u liv. n. Ihe
woman's .-name was Sue Hung, who
came but recently from Salem.
Some altercation arose and Hum
Gow attacked her with a dagger
knife. Goon Hin, the proprietor of
the house, interfered, and was fearfully
cut and stabbed. One cut entered
the lungs and another laid open his
abdomen so that the intestines pro
truded. There were several other
wounds of a serious nature.
The woman also received cuts in the
breast and abdomen, and one slash
acress the wrist nearly serving the
muscle.
Dr. W. II. Davis was called and
dressed the wounds.
The witnesses to the affair were
Hung Lung and Jue Back, two China
men. Goon Hin received seven distinct
wounds, the one penetrating the lungs
it is feared will prove fatal. The
woman, Sue Hung, who claims to
have a husband in Salem was stabbed
six times.
Sullivan, or Hum Gow, was given
an examination before Justice Curl.
He claims that he was quietly sleeping
and was attacked by the woman with
the knife and Goon Hin with a rod of
iron, and that he snatched the knife
from the woman and fought his way
out and ran to the jail tor protection,
fearing that they would kill him. He
was held without bail pending the re
sult of the wounds he had inflicted,
and two witnesses were held under
$150 bonds each, which they were en
deavoring to secure.
FOUND AT LAST.
Wednesday afternoon one of the em
ployeB of the woolen mill, Mr. Chas.
Younger, saw some object in the river
which he took to be a floating body,
and thinking of the lost Carey Craw
ford, for whom everybody had been
most anxiously watching, a boat was
procured and the object followed up,
and found to be as conjectured, the body
of Carey Crawford, who fell m the river
at Corvallis on the 8th inst. The coro
ner was summoned and the body re
moved to the undertaking rooms of
Fortmiller & Irving, where an inquest
was held and the following verdict ren
dered:
Albany, May 24, 1893.
-. Wc, the jury empaneled to inquire
into the death of Mr. Carey Crawford,
find that he came to his death on the
8th day of May at Corvallis, Oi egor
by falling off of the whirf at that place
and being drowned. We further find
by the evidence that there . was not the
necessary ' precaution taken ' by the
steamboat company in preventing acci
dents.

Mr. J. G. Crawford, father of Carey,
bad gone down the river on the Steam
boat looking for the body. He was
telegraphed to at Salem and returned
on the local. Albany Herald.
The funeral was held Thursday from
the undertaking rooms at 2:30 p.m.,
and was conducted by the fire depart
ment, of which he was an honored
member.
The Gazette is in receipt of compli
ments of the Oregon Breeding and

II. B. Luce, state food commissioner
and Prof. Lotz, station -chemist at the
college, were among out calh'M on
Wednesday. Air. Luce was here to
obtain the result of certain food analy
ses made at the college. In receu
prosecutions for disposing of impure
milk, Mr. Luce has met with opposi
tion on the ground that the Babcock
one of the testers used by the commis
sioner, is not reliable, and chemical an
aly,es were made by the chemist of the
college to determine this point. The
result is that Baboock tests are si-
tained.
TTio Chinaman's "Yellow Oath."
. One of the strangest judicial proceed-
Ins3 perhaps ever witnessed is that of
the Chinaman taking what he is pleaeed
to call tho "yellow oath." The ?oathw
or declaration is always written on a
piece of "sacred" paper, and is as fol
lows:
"This la to call the spirits, both good
and evil, to descend and watch over the
trial of , who- is charged with
murdering . If I swear falsely
and tell one tin truth, or do not make
statements according to the facts in the
case, I humbly beg the celestial , terres
trial spirits to redress the wrong done to
and to punish me immediately
for having been a false witness; to ar
rest my soul in its flight; to make me
perish by the sword, or to cause me to
die while on the sea far from borne.
This is my true and solemn oath, ottered
by my own hps, and signed by me this,
the day of the month in the
year of the reign of tho Emperor
; and in proof of the earnestness
of my declarations, may my soul be de
stroyed as I now destroy this paper by
fire." Immediately after the witness
finishes reading his "yellow oath" a
lighted candle is handed to him, and the
saner is tnven as food for the flames.
To the writer's certain knowledge this
form of oath has been administered but
once in an American court of justice
during the trial of Wong Ah Foo, who
was accused of murdering Loi Ah Gou
at San Francisco in 18S5. In China the
candle used in this extraordinary cere
monial is made from the fat of criminals
who have undergone the death penalty.
St. Louis Republic. .
A Strange Feasting Custom." .
There was a strange custom in the Isle
of Lewi3, when the people used to gather
to the church of. St. Molvay at night,
each family bringing provisions, and
each family furnishing a peck of malt,
which was brewed into ale. One who was
chosen for the purpose waded into the
sea up to his middle and poured out a cup
of ale, calling on a sea god called Shony
to favor the people through the coming
year. The people, after seeing the cere
mony performed, returned to the church,
and then went to the fields to spend the
rest of the night in revelry. New York
Tribune.
