West Side United Press. McMinnville, Or., Dec. 6. The farmers of this section have concluded that there is more money in baling their straw and ship ping it to the paper mills at Oregon City thaa there is in burning it. Some 200 tons of baled straw are now waiting for the steamer. The freight to Oregon City is $1.25 per ton. Everyone is pleased at the comments of the visiting newspaper men. Dr. John Field, of Sheridan, one of the oldest practitioners of medicine in the county, died Thursday morning. He was a member of the I. O. O. F. and A. O. U. W. Friday morning it was discovered that burglars had entered the stationery store of Chas. Orisson and had taken several dozen gold pens and penholders. D. A. Smith the jeweler who is located in the same build ing lost some twenty-five watches, fifteen of them being in bis hands for repair. The evening before some one entered the resi dence of Dr. G. S. Wright, while the fami ly was away. Nothing has been missed. The burgular cut his hand severely how ever, in breaking a window to gain an en trance. Bloody marks being left on every thing touched and a trail of blood lead to the road, where it disappeared. These burglaries were in all probability perpe trated by some of the numerous hard look ing tramps that have passed through the city during the past week going south. In dependence ana Corvallis should keep a lookout for them. The other day W. F. Dielschneider. jeweler, missed several small diamonds worth from $15 to $25 each. Diligent search was made but without avail. It was fraallv concluded that the iems had been dropped on the tioor and in sweeping had been gathered np and thrown in the stove. An old miner was hired and the winter's ashes were carefully panned out and all of the rams were found none the worse for their baptism of fire. Gen. Wm. Kapus, of Portlaud, has been detailed by the midwinter fair commission to address the citizens of this city and the West Side counties, on the benefits to be derived from a proper representation at the midwinter fair. The meeting will be held tomorrow at 11 a. m. in the court house and everyone interested in the matter should be there. High water in the Willamette has made it impossible for the Toledo to make her regular trips, Mrs. W. E. Martin, who some time ago left her husband taking hr daughter with her, returned home Fiiday evening. She was met at the train by Mr. Martin, who took the child and has since had it in his possession. Notwithstanding the efforts of detectives to locate her, her wherabouti since leaving this city are still a mystery. Hillsboro. Dec 6. The annual town lection occurred here yesterday. The inter est taken was not sufficient to bring out a full vote. The republicans made a regular ticket, and the fence-corner politicians put in the field an opposition ticket just before 8 o'clock election morning. The latter endorsed three of the republican councilmen and the treasurer. The popular ticket, as it was called, was elected throughout, and its managers are now kicking themselves because they did not nominate a complete ticket. There is no significance, politically, in the election. In the case of the State vs. Smeltzer, tried on Monday and Tuesday, the court allowed a nonsnit when the state had submitted its testimony. Smeltzer was indicted some four years ago for assasination committed on a farm on the Tualatin a week before the date of the indictment. He kept in hiding till he was taken by the sheriff of Yamhill county about last June near Dayton and turned over to Sheriff Ford of this county, He spent the whole summer in jail, but now goes free. Opinion concerning his guilt is divided, though all agree, that the crime has not been proven. Public attention is being called to the workings of the homestead exemption law, It is found that instead of benefiting the poor man, as it was intended, it completely rains it. Its repeal will be demanded by petitioners from this county next year. The assessment law is attracting some attention here. One case in point may be mentioned. Col. T. K. Cornelius is assessed for S36.9I0. vet he is not worth a dollar, and has not been for five years; yet the deduction of his indebtedness is not allowed, Recently he sold his personal property, or a portion of it, and the question is, who will pay tne tax loi. x. i or me present own ers of the stock? Hillsboro Grange, P. of H., observed the twenty-seventh anniversary of the order on Monday by a family dinner. Jolity and food cheer were the features of the occasion. The farmers of this county are anticipat ing a profitable institute here next week, commencing Wednesday, the 13th. Beside the professors from the agricultural college, Hon. Wm. Galloway, president of the state agricultural society, has signified his inten tion to be present. On of our local nurserymen has just sent off his third carload of fruit trees which con sists of pranes and apples. Olympia, Wash., is the locality that is investing. , T nnT.nra fiav fi VL C. Kevt. the i. .ho.: miner in Polk conntv. recent- ly shipped 20,000 bushels of wheat There are now over 2bS pupils enrolled in the normal school at Monmouth. t M Orrl of Washington county, is thinking of locating here in the nursery business. : Wm. Kerr, of Parker, accompanied by C. B. Parker and H. IS. Moore, recently in the sheep business in Montana, were visit ors at the West Side office Saturday. Mr. Moore fays the sheep business in Montana has been ruined by the recent "change." On account of the raging Willamette, during the past week, work has been stopped on the new wharf. Just now it is out of sight. Three hundred aud seventy-nine bales of hops were sold at Dallas recently at price? ranging from 14 to 15 cents. The new city officers of Independence will be, A. M. Hurley, mayor; Geo. W. Reed, recorder; John Richardson, jr., treasurer; Andy Tupper. marshal; counci' meD, W. W. Percival, J. D. Irvine, J. E. Kirkland, Peter Cook, H. C. Finch and G. G. Stroug. At Monmouth, yesterday evening, when the sheriff called to serve an official paper upon him, J. A. Dernpsey blew out his brains with a pistol. He was a man of more than forty years and leaves a wife and nine children. PHILOMATH PASTIMES. LOCAL NOTES. Mrs. Mulkey is visiting in Oregon City. Mrs. Olive Underhill was called to the bedside of a daughter in Linn county Monday. Bishop Mills of the U. B. church (Liberal) made Philomath a pleasant visit, preaching Friday and Saturday evening and Sunday morning. The bishop is au educated man and a popular speaker. The city election last Monday resulted as follows: Mayor, Dr. R. O. Loggan; re corder, Harmon Bi'oy; marshal, Marsh. Allen; treasurer, C. W. Davis. The con test for recorder and marshal was quite in teresting and drew out the full vote of the city The vote for mayor was unanimous. The program of the Philomath literary society at Keezel chapel last Saturday eve ning spoke well for the woik which the students are doing in that line. The society paper, edited by Miss Elvira Waggoner re ceived much favorable comment, "Y." A GOOD SERMON. Last Sunday evening those who attended services at the Presbyterian church were favored with a rare treat. Bishop Mills, of the United Brethren church, who had been at Philomath attending official duties in connection with his church and college at that place had been invited to deliver the sermon, and from the text "Lay up Treas ures in Heaven" he discoursed in a manner that was highly pleasing to everyone pres ent. In addition to the interesting sermon by the bishop several splendid musical numbers were rendered by Mr. Spangler, the cornetist, Miss Addie Davenport and Mr. John Fulton, in vocal solos, each with pipe organ accompaniment by Miss Ora Spangler. Bishop Mills was at one time pastor of a college congregation of which our townsman Dr. L. C. Altman, his wife and their guest for a few days past. Rev. Mr. Ferrier were members. BAD BUTTER. There is much complaint being made about the quality of butter being supplied at this market by some of our resident but ter makers. It is quite a difficult matter to procure a decent roll of butter nowadays, both as to quality and weight. Some of the product is noted for its raucid condition, due to the large ingredients of lard and coloring matter, used to such an ex tent that the compound is nauseating in the extreme. Another reason for disapproval of much of the butter product placed upon the market is the "short" weight. This is due to the use of patent molds, perhaps, more than to a desire to give less than value received. We would suggest that farmers and others who make il their business to supply this market with the dairy product be a little more careful in their methods supply a better article, with full weight, and save themselves annoyance and trouble, THE ANCIENT ORDER. Friendship Lodge, No. 14, A. O. U. W at its regular meeting last night, Thursday, Dec. 7th, elected the following officers for the ensuing year. F. Berchtold, M. W.; Jesse Spencer, F.; .

A pro gram or the exercises will appear in next is sue. THE CARRIAGE FACTORY. On Tuesday last the management of the Corvallis carriage factory received an order from a San Diego, California, firm br $2,500 worth of carriages, and in con sequence, there is now much stir oran ticiDation as to the future. There happens to be sufficient goods in stock to fill this or der, and the hope that this would necessitate the starting of the machinery was blasted. There are several future orders in prospect and if they materialize in the near future a straw of hope will thus be. launched upon the busy business sea concerning the future of this establishment. At any rate, the factory will not again be started before the first of the year. AN UNTIMELY DEATH. Miss Addie Ray Taft, aged 17 years and 9 months, died at her father's home in this city on Tuesday morning at 4 o'clock, a victim of consumption. Mr. Taft and family re moved from Colorado to Corvallis in the early summer with the hope of benefitting her declining health, but to no purpose, and the hand of death was laid upon her in her early youth. The funeral services were held in the Congregational church Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Kov. W. C. Kant ner. The interment took Dlace in Odd Fel lows' cemetery, followed by a large con course of sorrowing friends. : . Everything in the jewelry line at Vogle's.

Chief of Police Taylor is supervising some valuable repairs on the city ditches, in anticipation of more high water, lhe work already completed is first-class for the kind, but what this city needs is a more extended underground sewarage system. A jolly party of serenaders (mixed) made the welkin ring with their melodious chat ter on Monday night. In the language of one of the "400 (as it seemed from the noise they made) who was "in it, "they were all right." Come again. Saturday night the farm house of "Doc" Maples, three and one-half miles east of Corvallis, was destroyed Dy are, none of the contents being saved. The family were away from home and it is supposed that the fire originated from the fire-place. Theil-' luinination was plainly seen from .this city. The merchants of Corvallis an ! the towns surrounding should remember that they can get day-books, journals and ledgers of tie best quality at The Gazettk stationery store and news depot. We have them in duck and leather bound, of the best grades. Call in and inspect them before opening a new set of books for "94. . . The street-car is again running on sched ule time, making regular trips to all parts of the city. This is a convenience that should be appreciated by our people, especi ally those living in the suburbs, during rain ing weather. Zeph Job and sons returned from Jeffer son Wednesday, where the family had gone to spend Thanksgiving with frieuds. Mrs. Job is ill aud contiued to her bed, in conse quence of which she was left behind, much to the regret of her family and friends. Robert.

For paines in the chest there is nothing better than a flannel cloth saturated with Chamberlaiu's Pain Balm and bound on over the seat of pain. It will produce a counter irritation without blistering, and is not so disagreeable as mustard; in fact is much superior to any plaster on account of its pain-relieving qualities. If used in time it will prevent pneumonia. Kiffcy-cent bostles for sale by Graham & Wells.

J. H. Edwards, of Monroe, was in the city Wednesday and reports that the late heavy rains have proved beneficial rather than det rimental to the highways between Monroe and Corvallis. A great deal of grading was done last spring and summer with the new road-scrapers, and a natural supposition, is that so much rainfall would be damiging, which has been disproven. Frank Davey, grand official instructor of the A. O. U. W. jurisdiction of Oregon, is in the city, and last night gave the members of the local lodge the benefit of his knowl edge of the work.

I. Sargent. ROOT AND BRANCH, the poison in your blood', however it may have come or whatever shape it may be taking, is cleared away by Dr. Pierce's Goldsn Medical Dis covery. It's a remedy that rouses every organ into healthful action, purifies and enriches the blood, and through it cleanses and invigorates the whole system. Salt-rheum, Tet ter, Eczema, Erysipelas, Boils, Car ' buncles, Enlarged Glands, and the worst Scrofulous Sores and swell ings, are perfectly and permanently cured by it. Unlike the ordinary Spring med icines or sarsaparillas, the " Discov ery" works equally well at all seas ons. All the year round and in all cases, it is guaranteed, as no other blood medicine is. If it ever fails to benefit or cure, you have your money back. You pay only for the good you get. Isn't It safe to say that no other blood - purifier can be "just as good?" If it were, wouldn't it be sold so I An exchange says that a lady went to a grocery store a few days ago for a peck of apples, taking as she supposed a fresh laun dried flour sack. She held the sack up while the clerk poured the apples in. A singular thing then happened. The fruit went through the sack and rolled to the floor. On examination it was found that there was two holes in the bottom of the sack, both trimmed with embroidery. The young man fainted and the ladyjsent a small boy after the apples with a basket.
