Editor Calumet: I desire to let the people of this section know the great benefit I have derived from the use of Cnmberlaiu's Pain Balm. I am an engineer, and in tilling my duties as such, often become overheated, while the strain on my engine is very great, and has caus ed me much suffering. These pains were of such frequeut recurrence, that I feared kidney trouble. Physicians could do noth ing for me, and often, after catching cold I would be laid up and lose a day or two's work. About a year ago I caught a Bevere cold and had to go to bed. The pain iu my back was terrible and I could get no relief. I sent to a drug store for some kiud of liniment and the druggist said Chamlerlain,8 Pain Balm was as good as anything. I had the Pain Balm well rub bed in across the small of my back, then wet a flannel cloth and bound it across the seat of pain. In a few hours relief came, the pain had vanished, and the next day I went to work and have not lost a day since. Yours Resp., B. W. Bradley, En gineer. Pain Balm is for sale here by Graham & Wells, druggists. FOLLOW INSTRUCTION'S.

First Game of the Year Results Favorably to the Home Team 64 to o. The first game of foot ball ever played in our city wasjlayed last Saturday afternoon between the Albany college ' and the state agricultural college elevens. At about eleven o'clock the members of the Albany team came over in hacks and were met by Messrs. Blots and Burnett of the O. A. C. team. As soon as the horses had been tak en care of the men were escorted to the Cauthorn hall where dinner was prepared for them. At one o'clock the college baud marched through town playing a few lively quicksteps and then all repaired to the col lege parade grounds. The ; general public was charged admission to the grounds and tickets' were sold at; ten cents apiece. This was done to defray expenses. Fully 500 people witnessed the contest. Tin horns of all sizes and tones, some very nicely dec orated with college colors were brought along. Enthusiasm ran high during the game and amid the squeaking of horns and the ringing of the college yell of "Zip boom bee! zip boom bee! 0. A., O. A., O. A. C!". one could hardly .think. The ladies were so excited that they actually yelled and followed with interest every move of the players. The men as they lined up were as fol lows: AI.BVNV CbLLEOK A. Graham K. Bentley Lasselle R.

C. ter.m made their appearance. Albany won the togs up and Capt. Wash burn desired to take the ball and O. A. C. chose the west goal. Promptly at 2 o'clock p. m. Referee Irvin called play and Albany started with a V wedge, Washburn carry ing the ball. Washburn fumbled and Bur nett grabbed the pig-skiu and carried it over the liue for the first touch-down. The kick for goal failed. Score 4 to 0. Time, one minute and one-half. Albany brought the ball to the center of the field and again tried the V wedge with a gain of five yards. The ball was passed to Washburn who was tackled so hard by Bloss that he dropped the ball jand Burnett again made a pretty run of sixty yards, making the second touch down.. Terrell made a successful goal kick. . Score 10 to 0. Time five minutes. Again Albany tried the V trick, but the bill was passed forward by Turner and was given to the O. A. C's. on the spot. At the line up Burnett made a dash around the left end for fifteen yards, quickly followed by Nash with a gain of twenty yards. Then the O. A. C's. worked the enss cross and Burnett carried the ball and made the third touph-down. The kick for goal failed. Score 14 to 0. After this the time of touch-downs was not kept. Albany again come to the field with their "all beef and no science" and used the fly ing wedge but to no advantage for the O. A. C's. made such a vigorous rush that Albany lost a yard. Ou the next line up Phillips, the O. A. C. right tackle, made one his famous dives under Albauy's rush line and secured the ball. Again Nash was sent around the left end and supported by good blocking made the fourth touch down. Terrell again kicked goal. Score 20. to 0. Albany again lost the ball" at the center by passing it forward. Burnett bucked center for fifteen yards, but was dually brought down by Washburn. The old criss cross was then worked and Burnett trotted around the right end for the fifth touch-down. The kick for goal failed. Score 24 toO. . ' At this point Albany began to play a bet ter game. Ou the kick off they gained three yards and then Washburn bucked center for two yards. On the second down Washburn fumbled and Nash secured the ball and aided by fine blocking carried it between the goal posts. Terrell attempted to kick goal but the ball broke, which probably lost two points for the O. A. C. Score 28 to 0. The teams again lined up at center with but eight minutes to play. Albany used the same tactics as before, but lost the ball and Burnett was sent around the right end making the seventh touch-down. Terrell kicked a pretty good goal. Score 34 to 0. . Albany here tried a kick but Nash se cured the ball atd rushed ovor the line,, making the last touch-down of the first hall. Kick for goal failed. Score 38 to 0. The referee here called time for the first thirty minute half. During the intermission the O. A. C. band played several excellent pieces. When time was called for the second half it was found. that three of the Albany men were unable to finish the game and Captain Burnett permitted three of his substitutes to assist the Albany. The Albany men also came to the conclusion-that they were no mutch for the "Farmers" and wished to have the last half shortened. It was therefore decided to play only a ten-minute half. At the first line up the O. A. C's. used their parallel line "kick off" trick and Bloss carried the ball thirty yards into the Albany territory, then Burnett carried it over the line, making the touch-down. Kick for goal failed. Score 42 to 0. -Albany tried a run to the right, but Turner, when tackled, passed the ball for ward and the O. A. C's. got the ball on the spot. By a neat trick Nash was sent around the left end, making the second touch-down. Kick for goal was a. failure. Score 40 to 0. Albany tried a run to the left, but went down with a gain of but two yards. Wash burn bucked center for five yards, but in his second attemptlost the ball. Here the O. A. C's. began to playja fast'game. Bur nett and Nash carried the ball to the ten yard line and the O. A. C's. triedthe rolling wedge, but lost the ball in a fumble a few yards from the goal line. Washburn then again bucked center but dropped the hall when tackled. O. A. C's. again used the wedge, BIoss carrying the ball over the line. The kick for goal failed. Score 50 to 0. -The next play Albany made was to kick the ball, but Desborough captured it and rushed over the. line. Desborough then kicked a fine goal. Score 56 to 0. At the last line up Albany made three successive downs, gaining some little ground, but in the fourth they lost the ball and Burnett ran to right end and made the last touch-down. Desborough here, made a pretty goal kick. Score 62 to 0. SUMMARY.' Time of actual playing, 40 minutes; touch-downs made, Nash 4; BIoss 1; Des borough 1; Burnett 7; total 13. Goals kicked, 5. Goal kicks failing, 8. Score 62 to 0. After the game the Albany men were invited out. to supper by Judge Burnett who had been an interested beholder of the game. The repast was thoroughly en joyed to say the least.. The team re turned home in the evening. " ';'; ."" ROTES. -: .- - - The O. A. C. team has been in practice about four weeks and as a result of hard training played together as one man. In fact it would be hard to pick out any one man whose work was any better than his fellows. The O.' A. C. team will play the Mon mouth team .today (Friday) at Monmouth and on November 30th at Corvallis. We believe we have the make -up of a good team and hope to be among the best in a Very short time. 'Y ' fi - , Mr. J.' Bernard 'Walker informs us that active preparations are making for the pro duction of that great play "Julius Caesar" in the near future. A number of our best local talent will be in the cast and no 'expense will be spared to furnish a first-rate enter tainment. , V . - -,' . 5 - D. H. Bodixb, Sul. 0 II. Desborouoii, R.

Those in charge of the work of the state agricultural college have determined to institute a "short course" for the benefit of the agriculturalists and horticulturists of Oreuon. This short course is not in tended to take the place of the college work, but it is intended to meet the wants of those who are engaged in the work of agriculture and' hurticulture those who have had some experience and who now wish to add to this experience by a study of tried and approved methods. It is proposed to make this "short course" thoroughly prac tical. This work the ''college is now the better able to undertake: First, because it has devised a well-planned course in ag riculture and horticulture, and adapted it to the needs and conditions of this climate; second, because the college has collected from all parts of the state and other parts of the world much valuable material which will add interest to the study, and third, because the apparatus of the institution, gathered at much expense, will be at hand, aud can be used by these special students as well as instructors. QUALIFICATIONS. There will be no educational test for en trance upon this short course. All ladies and gentlemen of mature age, who are en gaged ia the work of agriculture, horti culture, floriculture, or who are connected with such pursuits or desire to acquire such knowledge will be welcomed. The college and station libraries will be open to all, thus giving an opportunity for gaining much general information. SPECIAL ADVANTAGES. It would be difficult to enumerate all the advantages which this institution will afford to those who desire to take this "short course." Among these mav be mentioned the following: First, the arrangement of barns, silos, and piggeries including methods of feeding and caring for stock. and the preparation of foods. Second, we have a greenhouse covering an area of 2,800 square feet where plants from every part of the world .ay be studied. . These are con nected with a recitation and work-room where grafting, budding, layering, cross fertilization, etc., will be fully exemplified. In fact, members of the class will be given the opportunity of doing this work under competent instructors. Third, the zoolog ical department containing a wide range of species will be open to the class for study and comparison. Here will be found a large number of specimens of birds and in sects both injurious and beneficial to man. Fourth, the botanical collection embraces more than 5,000 species of plants which grow in Oregon. The study of many micro scopic plants are made possible by the use of our high power microscopes, all of which will be placed at the disposal of the class. Fifth, our chemical laboratories will be es pecially helpful to these who have made some study of chemistry, but no one can 'fail to get much food for thought in this de partment even if he has cot made a study of the subject. The tuition will be free. board and lodging. . The same provisions will be made for those who enter this special class as is now made for those attending the college. That ia, ladies will be furnished places in the girls' dormitory and gentlemen in Cauthorn hall. Board, rooms, light and heat will be furnished for $2.50 per week. Those avail ing themselves of this will need to furnish their own bedding with the exception of mattresses. , " The length of term will be fonr- weeks and will begin Tuesday, January 9th, and close February 6th. This extends the course over twenty days of school work. There will be no recitations on Saturday'. This makes the whole cost of attendance at this short eourse $10. Four hours will be devoted each day to instructions. : The fpllowjng course of i mti-uction has been provide I: . lectures. .- . ; ' ' , 1 rof.

On Wednesday the editor of The GAZETfE had occasion to visit the agricultural col lege and spent a profitable hour in the de partment of English, presided over by Prof. J. B. Horner, and was well pleased with the qantity and quality of work done in this important branch of study. In addi tion to the regular text books, much theme -work is done in special note books prepared for the classes, much of which we have never, seen excelled. The laboratory sys tem, oral or written always accompanied by rules and reasons is the practice. All this is under the personal supervision of Prof. Horner, who has during the last twenty years been well and favorably known in Oregon as a thorough, efficient and popular teacher, and who has twice been an editor once on a newspaper and the other time on a magazine. The room, which contains portraits of authors, scenes from Shakespeare and numberless other literary views, is by far the best equipped room in English on the Pacific coast, and with its present growth will in time be second to none on the continent. Both the teacher and students appear to be enthusi astic in their efforts to master the language of the mother tongue. HIS HOME NOT HERE. On Mon-lay last at 5 o'clock in the morn ing at the home of Mr. B. Woldt, Frank Szielonka breathed the last of mortal breath, the victim of Bright's disease. His age was 42 years, 10 months and 26 days. Funeral services were held at the place of his death and were conducted by Rev E. J, Thompson of the Presbyterian church, and the burial iu Crystal Lake cemetery. The deceased was born in Rosen Garten, near Koenigsburg, Prussia, and was a highly educated German gentleman a graduate of the college in the place of his birth and also of Lyck, a city near thereto. He could converse fluently in six different languages Greek, Latin, t rench, Polish, German and English, and was well informed upon nearly all topics of historical and local in terest. ' In early life he volunteered his services to his country and enlisted in the German army as a private soldier, gradually receiving promotions until he held the rank of officer of heavy artillery, and as such fought with his regiment in the Franco Germau war. Six years ago he came to America and located in California, engag ing in agricultural .pursuits which he pur sued for two years and then came to Cor vallis where he has since made his home. He had many friends who knew him for his worth of self and who will miss his familiar figure from our streets and public places ol resort. As far as known there are no near relatives who survive him, but his remains were cared for in a manner which suggested that be died among friends. OUR APOLOGY. Last week The Gazette contained this loial note: "E. E. Wilson and Ralph Dav isson are victims of the law and will appear before Judge Holgate at 7 o'clock this even ing to adjust their offense. A 'fish story' of large proportions may be expected." The information which fathered the statement was given us just as the forms of our paper were being closed and made ready for press, bence we had not time to investigate its re liability. Since the paper was published we have made enquiry and learned that the statement was substantially correct that the gentlemen were arrested by Deputy Sheriff SKipton and voluntariiy appeared before Justice H. L. Holgate in readiness to answer any charge that might have been preferred but that the whole affair was simply intended as a "josh" by their friends who presumed their appreciation of a practical joke would be reciprocated by the inunocent victims. An apology has been demanded of The GAZirrrE for its truth ful statement, and we solemnly promise never again to tell the truth concerning the victims of a practical joke and apol ogize for this offense. Much sport and some temper has been the result of the above statement, but we believe no blood has as yet been spilled. , MIGHT HAVE BEEN. : Dr. Applewhite called at our office and in. formed us that during the pranks of Hallow e'en someone removed the net from one of the wheels of hi buggy, which until the other evening he did not have occasion to nse. He had started on a professional call, but had mt proceeded far when the wheel came off, throwing the doctor to the earth immediately . under the feet of his horse, which was gentle, and no serious damage resulted. Such foolishness as this should be discontinued, for life and property is often endangered by its practice. ir. TWO DISPATCHES. From the Salem Statesman we clip tba appended telegraphic dispatches and sub. mic them to the readers of The Gazettk. The Mr. Mulcahy referred to iB the super intendent of the Oregon Pacific railroad, f this city. ...... Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 1 1. Justic Runisey, of the supreme court, today granted a separation to Mrs. Richard E. Mulcahy, wife of the general superintend ent of the Oregon Pacitio railroad at Corval lis, Or. Mrs. Mulcahy's suit was brought ou the ground of cruelty and she proved that many times her husband had beaten her and subjected her to the most astrocioui treatment. Mr. Mulcahy set up a counter charge of adultery between his wife and Floyd Tappen of Sioux City, Ia., which the : court held was false, willful and malicious. Mrs. Mulcahy is given the custody, of both her little girls and Mr. Mulcahy is ordered to pay an alimony of $1,800. ' . ' Rochester, Nov. 13. Quite a surprise was manifested here when a decision in the Mulcahy divorce case was announced. The case attracted much attention , on account of the prominence of both parties. Mr. Mulcahy fiuds himself again a married man when he thought he was perfectly' free. The case was reopeued in July last and it has taken Judge Ituinsey three months to reverse the decision. The court claims the charge of infidelity was absolutely proven. a ne 1 act mat Mr. Mulcahy accused bis wife ot infidelity makes the charge against him of cruelty. The decision was reversed in accordance. Mrs. Mulcahy had considera ble trouble in getting the two beautiful and ' accomplished daughters of the unhappy couple. They positively refused to go with her but upon advice consented to go. Mrs. . Mulcahy is a handsome aud stylish woman . and belongs to one of the first families of Buffalo. Mr. Mulcahy was general favor ite here. After his trouble be lived a elub life until he went to Oregon. He left business in Rochester which Daid him $10,000 per year in order to get away from bis domestic troubles. He has the sympa thy of a host of friends here and all others who followed the case throughtout Mrs. luuicany aoea not want him to have aa absolute divorce. She' would never listen to any thing else. Mr. Mulcahy was a vei successful stock broker here and will be remembered as the one who ran the success ful corner in Rochester street railway stock. He run the price up from 30 to 65. Many Rochester people profited by his shrewd manipulation. His services would be ac cepted by any one of several Wall street houses at any tune he will offer them. It is now thought among his friends that ha will come east again and give up railroad ing, as be has never cared about railroad work. Nothing defiinite is known about his future plans. Money has been freely' spent by both parties in the case. Mr. Mulcahy would not listen to any kind of compromise. He is nicely spoken of by the parents of Mrs. Mulcahy, who think he ha not given the matter due consideration ana hope for the matters to right themselves. Those who know him say he will never live with his wife and will win in the end. There is no reason why he cannot now se cure a divorce in Oregon. He undoubtedly will. Mr. Mulcahy lived here in elegant style and has an army of friends. THE MARINE BAND. This organization's progress under ; the tutorship of Piof. David Rosebrook is quite satisfactory and it is a pleasure to note that they are receiving merited encouragement at the hands of those in legal .authority over the city. At its . last meeting the city council granted them the free use of the hall in the old fire department building and now the boys are comfortably located in commodious quarfcors for the study and practice of one of the most soul-inspiring arts music. Prof. Rosrbrook has been in charge of the band as musical director for perhaps a month, yet in that short time very decided improvement is noticeable in their manner of performance, tone, eta, aa ' evidenced in the open-air concert rendered n Court House park a week ago last. San-' day, mention of which we, forgot ia last week's Gazette. The band, if they con tinue to improve and conduct themselves as they should, ought to receive a little pecuniary assistance from our music-loving public, either in the way of a monthly con tribution or a public benefit of some tort, and The Gazette stands in readiness to as sist any movement tending towards the es tablishment of a first-class musical organi zation in our midst. From the writer's ex perience in the past, it is known that thoroughly first-rate bands have been sup ported in towns no larger than Corvallis, and while a great deal depends upon the united and individual efforts of the mem. bers to inspire confidence, all necessary as sistance can be secured in this home of musical culture and refinement. Next Sunday at 3 p. m. the band will render the following program from the balcony of the Occidental hotel- March The Crusader..i... Overture Flicssend Quelle.

Addressed to Superintendent Mulcahy and delivered by Messenger jCantner one - day this week was a mysterious package encased in un old cigar box, which on open ing was found to be a genuine dynamite bomb. Mr Mulcahy's nerves were consid-1 erably exorcised, but finally he mustered sufficient courage' to mate a more minute examination and found that within the ci- ' gar box was a circular tix box fall of dy- ' namite, on which the lid fitted quite closely, with wire connection, and it is evident that ' the designer of this infernal machine in ' tended the recipient to open it hurriedly through curiosity and thereby cause an ex plosion. Caution's lesson had its effect and dne care was exercised before the mys- -tery was solved by Mr. M. The railway officials are endeavoring to trace the source . from- whence it came, and while an idea U entertained, there is no reliable informations, at this writing as to who the guilty wretch. might be. The package was ahipped from San Francisco and re-shipped at Portland. It has been placed on the roof of the build ing in which the O. P. offices are situated to await developments. ' ' !
