If Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and'Diar rhoea Remedy is taken as soon as these symptoms appear, they can wardj off the disease. Such persons should always keep the Remedy at hand, rsady for immediate nse when needed. Two or three doses of it at the right time will save them much suf fering. For sale by Graham & Wells. My wife was confined to her bed for over two months with a very severe attack of rheumatism. We could get nothing that would afford her any relief and as a last re sort gave Chamberlain's Pain Balm a trial. To our great surprise she began to improve after the first application, and by nsing it regularly she was soon able to get np and attend to her house work. E. H. Johnson, of C. J. Knutton & Co., Kensington, Minn. 50 cent bottles for sale by. Graham & Wells. A young democrat of this city, writing to a friend, states, 1 egarding the hard times we are now suffering: "That whether the result comes through Clevelandism, republi canism, Wilsonbillism or protection, I, with a multitude of others, care little. It is the ultimatum 'prosperity' we want and must have,' and just between . you and I, I am quite willing that the old adage, 'the sur vival of the fittest,' should prevail." Mean ing, of course, republicanism. The old Pitman planing mill on 1st street, together with the lot and machinery, was sold this week by John Rickard to J. P. Huff man, Neal Newhouse and F. P. Scheargreen for the sum of $1700. . The entire plant will be given a thorough renovation and repaired and an addition made to the buildinjj During the summer, new machinery will be put in and by fall a box factory will be run ning in connection with the establishment. These gentlemen are experienced and enter prising and will no doubt succeed. This and That. In the Spring a young man s whiskers gently whisper "go to Spencer's." Two or three race horses have made their appearance in town and negotiations are pending 1'or a race next week. An interesting Easter program has been arranged by members of the M. E. church to be rendered Sunday evening beginning at 7:30. J. R. Fehler, of Philomath, called yesterday for the purpose of renewing his subscription to The Gazette. He says the few democrats in his precinct expect to organize a club on the 31st inst. The name of Fred B. Sackett, of Granger, has been spoken ot in connection with the nomination ot school superintendent on the re publican ticket. Before coining to this ttate, something over three years ago, Mr. Sackett had con siderable experience in school af fairs in New York. He is a very pleasant, affable gentlemen and is said to be well qualified for the po sition. " J. Fred Yates and W. S. McFad den went to Nashv He yesterday in connection with the case of the State vs Irvin Smilh, who is charged with raping Nettie Baker about a year and a half ago. Mr. Yates represents the slate, and Mr. McFadden the defendant. J. W. Baker, lather of the alleged victim, swore out the complaint in justice court at Nashville. Irvin was in town Tuesday, and claims that the charge is wholly false. A populist seeing the sights in Portland took in among other things the River View cemetery, noticing on a grave stone the in scription ''John . Here lies a lawyer and an honest man," Mr. Populist remarked fc-how in the d- 1 did they come to bury two men in the same grave." Ilis ex perience with lawyers convinced him that they shaved a man finan cially as close and easily as Spen cer and Case do his face. C. Newcomb and family, old ac quaintances of Nels Wheeler, ar rived in Corvallis Monday direct from Crawford county, Iowa. Landing here in a suow storm, he is said to have been somewhat un favorably impressed with the cli mati.. conditions of Webfoot, and threatened to return without even unpacking his trunks, but as his (arm in Iowa had been rented for a year he was finally- induced to remain. The weather during the past few days has no doubt had the effect of changing his opinion in regard to bur climate. Our neighbor over the way is looking for a David w ho shall slay the Giant of Gath for the cr.me of going too far back into the history of the democrats. The objection to looking backward has become chronic with their partv. We ven ture to say there U not a democrat in the United States, who dues not take offense wheneve anyone men tions anything but their promises for the future, about them. You cannot insult' them so deeply any other way, as to speak of their record farther back than I860. We do not blame you . gentleman, your party record is unsavory even to yourselves. The few great names which hav e "be jn identified witlj it cannot releive it of its past record, or assure for it future hon esty. " ': ' 'Y PhilomathRepublicans. The McKinley Republican club of Philomath met in Whitney hall on Monday evening and if rapt at tention tothe program as rendered may be accepted " as an indication the republicans of this precinct will cast intelligent ballots at the coming June election. . Owing to inclement weather the attendance was not so great as had been .anticipated, but what the audience lacked in , numbers was more than "counterbalanced by an exuberance of enthusiasm." ; The program wa3 excellent and well rendered, the reading of the demo cratic invocation, the newspaper clippings, and the masterly expo sition of the fallacies of the. Wjl son bill by' Dr. . Loggan elicited each in its turn si' round of ap plause. "The Wilson' Bill,",' the topic for the evening; was then discussed . by ; Wm.' .Brady, John Gellatly, .G.' .M-.: McDonald ' and Prof. :Bonebrake. The topic for discussion next, evening is "Why I am a Republican,',! and we1 antici pate a very instructive session and request all republicans to be pres ent and assist in upholding the banuer ot proteWion. - " .

The committee on rivers and harbors has recommended the ap propriation of five thousand dollars to be expended in keeping the Wil lamette river above Corvallis, within its banks. Five thousand will not be more than half enough. -.J-r-c: nil' lliP I. "-..sVv; practicable one. The only .;:S7; other plan that suggests it -. be-- to build a r- V" yt-feSvN-FOIld masonry revetment C' vtW-- tor a distance of a thous- -iYfV; and or fifteen hundred feet 0Bm ci mx& i, (i.h We" actually need ten thousand dollars a least, and we must keep hammering at congress until we get it. An ounce of prevention is : worth a pound of cure. We see the thief approaching that will rob us of our river commerce, let us bar the door before the horse is stolen. It is .an ' 'actual, pressing and material danger, and not a fancied, possible calamity merely. The former work done by the Uni ted States engineers is wholly in adequate fo! the purpose. Every high water increases the danger and also increases the work neces sary to be done to change the channel. An appropration suffi cient to complete the work in the manner in which those most famil iar with the danger have suggested, is the most economical,and should be forthcoming. CONGRESS HAS BEEN IMPORTUNED by the people collectively through numerously signed petitions to fur nish sufficienUmoney to carry on this work to its early completion. Individuals of standing in our com munity sSould write to our repre sentatives aud press upon their at tention the importance of this mat ter. Petitions from the citizens of Eugene and Lane county, and Al bany and Linn county, from Cor vallis and Irom our city council and Business Men's Associ dion, together with copies of last week's Gazette containing articles show ing clearly the condition of affairs, were sent last week to Representa tive Hermann. These were ac companied by a personal letter urg ing immediate congressional ac tion. Since our last issue we have had a fall of rain that brought up' the river, and for several days it has been put out of its banks. Every rise washes the threatened channel deeper. Every year this matter is lelt without attention the more money it will require to con fine the river to its original bed. ' : A DIAGRAM HAS BEEN ' PREPARED by The Gazette's special artist, showing the windings of the river, the washouts and all other infor mation we have been able to , pro cure. From this cut it will be seen that the river divides at the upper end of Graham's Island, over one-half of it flowing to the right through Centennial chute. This is caused by an an obstruction of logs and other drift at the head of west channel, which in years gone by was the main fcleamboat chan nel, and can De made , to convey4 the volume oi tne water Dysmpiy removing the jara,and permitting the- water'' to flow unobstructed i 1 T. a ' . TT 4 1 1 J. inrougu it. fiuut m iuw tremity of Alexander's Island an old water way or slough extends across the heel of the horseshoe to a point not iar'from Fischers mill. The bottom of this slough is about seven leet above low water mark, is eighty rods in length and has a fall of ten feet. By removing the I he obstructions above spoken of, building a wing dam at the mouth East river and dredging the chan nel out a few leet below low water mark, the volume of the water can be confined to this channel during all stages of the o'v'f river. This is the cheapest, w",' mnst. f'onsililA nurl lnt iilnn suggested, in at the bend in the river where the channel 1 now threatens to divide. ' This would cost at least $100, 000. In the event the first plan is carried out most of the curren twill' flow through the cut-off and materially lessen the dan ger at other points. We V- i. ,i i li . work and should Have it this summer. ' Could the members of congress gaze for a few moments on the scenes of devastation caused by the -r? high water ot the past week an increased appropriation j would be assured. On leaving the ferry landing, a view ot uesolation pre sents itself that beggars escription. The road in Preston place now own ed by John Gavin, the revetment, has been de stroyed and a large excava tion made in the county road some distance beyond, where a break in the revetment occurred some years ago, the banks have been washed away for a hundred feet. At this point a channel has cut across the road into the fields adjoining for a thousand feet and on a level with the present stage ot the water and varies in width from twenty-five to forty feet. On the east side of the Owens place the current has washed out' a water-way for a half mile that is from thirty to seventy-five feet in width and from ten to twenty-five feet in depth. To a casual observ er the farms swept by the water appear totally ruined. The last freshet, while not so high, was of longer duration-, and did more damage than any high water in years, i Drift that ordinarily will float off was, owing to the stage of water, caught - and held on the higher portions : of ground. The old Elliott place, adjoining the Owen3 farm on the west, is almost ruined. Immense : piles of drift lie all o' er it, that will cost more to clear ready for the plow than the land is worth. Gravel is also distributed over the fields; the fences are down; several hundred dollars will be required to place the county road in a passable con dition, and trees. 200 teet in length aud from four to eight feet through are scattered promiscuously about the country. Apparently most of these places affected by the overflow will have to be abandoned unless the govern ment acts speedily and thoroughly.! . , ... i The Times makes serious objec tions to the talking of amateur pol iticians on the street aud in the hotels, aud suggests that the city coucil pass an ordinance prohibit ing the boys from saying anything about the tariff question until after the June election When the pro fessionals of the democratic party was talking this same . question to the boys two years ago they claim ed its agitation would have a salu tary effect. Now, when 'heir dupes, driven to desperation by the hard times, are talking to the profes sionals on every street corner, they call on. the authorities , lor "help. Stand up to the work gentlemen! The boys are only rehearsing lor their public answer to you in the coming election. " The city council can't stop - them .from, talking be cause they are north of Mason & Dixon's line.. . You have sown to the wind, you must reap the whirl wind. ' Sheriff Osburu reports that taxes aire comijig .in at the rate of a thousand dollars a day. 1 '- "siv vrr TO EEGISTEIl ELSEWHERE. Only a Chinaman. Ah Huoy's Spirit Hath Winged Its Pathless Fliarht. The spirit has winged its path less flight and Huoy, the Chinese chair-mender, is now soliciting trade among his ancestors. The deceased recently came to Corvallis from Albany and shuffled oil this mortal coil Wednesday evening just as the setting suit threw its last beams across, th western sky. In an upstairs ror.m of the noiion store of Iling Dock lies all that is mortal of the ce lestial, tradesman whose love for the fatal drug had exceeded his discretion and his devotion to his pipe cost him his life. Chief of Police Taylor assisted in laying him out and to him is largely due the credit of a good looking corpse, for Huoy was by no means handsome. Continued affection for .his "kit" had told on his constitution and even now as he lies cold and stiff in death with hU hands clapped and a smile parting his innocent lips, he might easily be mistaken for a well pr served specimen of one of the Pharaohs. His age was 30 years. His brethren are naturally noted for their superstition and lack of affection and it was only under the mandate of the authorities that his body was consigned" to the grave. . ' Hearing of hisdemise tie versa tile Sam Case repaired to the chamber of death and exercising ventriloquistic powers asked Xhe deceased how he found himself From the corpse came a deep hoi low groan and the eyes of the Chinaman who had accompanied the visitor si arted from, their sockets. Another question, an other groan and Case found him self de erted. A consultation fol lowed and Dr. Farra was sum moned to the bedside. He as sured them death had claimed its victim several hours before as coagulation, which he explained, had already taken place, but their superstition was greater than their knowledge of medicine, and they stoutly maintained the dead had spoken. Free Republican Reading Room. The Benton County Republican club have established headquar ters in the rooms formerly occu pied by The Gazette, at the corner of Monroe' and Second streets. ...'The rooms have been nicely carpf led and comfortably furnished and it is the intention of the committee having the matter in charge to have the building open eaoh and every day during i the campaign trom b o clock a. m. until 10 o'clock p. m. Here may be found daily papers and other campaign literature which may be perused by all' who desire free ot cost,, the expenses being entire'y borne by, the republican club. The Morning Oregonian, New York Tribune, New York Press, Chicago Inter-Ocean. St. Louis Globe-Dem-crat, San Francisco Chronicle, Judge and many republican state papers will be on file at all times. Writing material will also be kept on hand for the convenience of the club's visitors. Farmers when in town . and nave a lew spare moments might run up to head quarters and get a bit of informa tion which they might desire, or spend a half hour in conversation with members of, the club, some of whom will be about the building most of the time. .Strangers are also invited to make their head quarters at this place. Every one, no matter what their , parly affiliations may 1 be. are cordially invited to take advantage of this opportunity. This is going to be a campaign, of education here in Benton county at least, and we believe that if the proper litera ture is placed before the ; reading public, they will vote right, which means with the republican party.

Cleveland Disgusted with.Oro, gon's Democrats. - The Oregonian's Washington conespondent under date of March 21 wires: ' : President Cleveland is very -much disgusted - with ,lhe Oregon democrats, and that is why appoint ments have been slow at Portland and Salem, lie ' has ' said that when charges are made against every mail, that he will not make appointments, and that until Ore gon democrats can reach some agreement among .themselves, he will let -the1 matter drop, lie i particularly disgusted 'with - the light that has been made at. Port land. .. It is a notorious fact that iik every department Oregon is known as the state where the democrat are more bitter upon each other than any, other. The state stands as aconspicuous example of back biting methods, and of - vicious at tacks upon every . man that , has come up for public office.; It L told that a distinguished member of the present administration, when asked if there were any opportune ty for Oregon to secure a large ap- poiulment, replied that if what the Oregon democrats said ot eacU other were true, there were very few of them that ought to bo out-. side o( the jieulientiary. r
