Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery i guar anteed, if it don't benefit or cure, in every case, you have j'onr money bad;. No other medi cine of its kind is so certain and effective that it can be sold so. Is any other likely to be "just as good"? As a blood-cleanser, flesh-builder, and strength-restorer, noihing can equal the "Discovery." It'3 not like the s:irsapa rillas, or ordinary "spring medicines." At all seasons, and in all cases, it puri fies, invigorates, and builds up the whole system. For every blood-taint and disorder, from a common blotch or erup tion, to the worst scrofula, it is a perfect, permanent, guaranteed remedy.

Wonderful Work. A New Being Created! Dear Sirs: If you could see the writer of this letter and note the wonderful change that has been effected in his case by taking Dr. Grant's Kidney and Liver Cure, you would certainly be astonished. I was a most wretched sufferer for three years, trying all kinds of medicine and getting no relief. The flow of urine was very excessive. I was very constipated and also covered with carbuncles, and felt at war with myself and the world at large; but, thanks to your wonderful medicine, I felt as though 1 was a new being, and I consider a wonderful cure has been effected in my case. With my best wishes for your further success, I remain Yours respectfully, a. Mcdonald, Ashland, Wis. For Sale by Corvallis Druggists. ENTON COUNTY. S Public Schools Closed. The opera house was jammed t its ut most capacity lust Friday evening by friends and patrons of the public school, to witness the closing exercises ;:The fact that such a large audience was present is an attestation of the general interest taken in the Corvallis schools by this community. The program as a whole was especially in teresting and evidenced caiefulrHraining. Throughout the vast assemblage Were heard many complimentary words for both teach ers and pupils. All realize "that the school in eachMepartment has accomplished thor ough work. The discipline has heon good and the work throughout has beoCgie thor oughly systemiz-jd, and from this fact it is to be hoped that no changes will lv made in the personnel of the teachers. Where an eflioieut corps of teachers have lteSonce secured the best interests of a Softool - will, as a rule, be best subserved by , retaining them permanently... ' Constant changes, un less there be just cause for remiVal, 'nsu ally result in a disorganization" and rear rangement of plans which have in a me: 8- ure become fixed and when school is re sumed again in the fall considerable time may be lost. The hoard are men of judg ment, having the welfare of the schools at heart and may be depended upon to do their duty in every particular. The College Treasurer. J. T. Apperson, J. Vorhees, Wallis Nash, John Emmett, W. P. Keatly, members of the board of regents of the agricultur 1 college, were iu ; Salem Wednesday, and with Gov. Pennoyer and State Superintei dent McElroy, held a meeting at the cap ital. The principal business attended to Was that of electing a ne v trtasurerer, vice Dr-. J. M. . Applewhite, deceased. Hon. J. K. Weathirford, of Albany, a member of the 1 o rd, was chosen to fi 1 the vacancy. This seems to be a new de parture to appoint a person to thii office w' o is a resilient if a city other than Cor vallis. In other respects the selec irn is a most excellent one and will meet with e i eral approval. This is a very agreeable bit of news, as the impression was preva lent that the governor had iu mind the ap pointment of Majr Bruce, which would hive given to the populists a majority on the board. Delegates from St. Mary's Chapter, O. E. S. to the grand chapter, which convenes in Portland next Monday, are Mrs. F. A. Helm, grand secretary; Mrs. J. B. Lee, Mrs. M. IS. Woodcock, and J. D. Johnson. The delegates are anticipating a very inter esting meeting, and a royal good time. Among the enjoyable features planned by the committee is a steamboat excursion np the Columbia as far as the Dalles and re turn. "My little bov was very bad off for two months with diarrhoea. We used various medicines, also called in two doctors, hut nothing done him any good until we used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Disr rhcea remedy, which gave immediate relief and soon cured him. I consider it the best medicine made and can conscientiously rec ommend it to all who need a diarrhoea or colic medicine." J. E. Hare, Trenton, Tex. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Graham & Wells.

Dent ler, their commandant, and claimed that he was entitled to a great deal of credit for the proficiency the troops had attained un der his careful training in such a short per iod of time.

The decision rendered by Judge Bellinger yesterday in the case of Charles Altschul vs. the Oregon Pacific and Willamette Valley & Coast railroads, T. Esenton Hogg and others, had been looked f tr with much interest. It is of im portance, because it settles the title to nearly 1,000,000 acres of land, one of the principal assets of the Oregon Pacific, which is to be sold today. The suit was brought to declare void any claim on the part of de fendants to lands comprising a grant to t he Willamette Valley & Cascade Mountain Wagon Road Co., which had been conveyed to them by Hogg, as attorney in fact of the owner. This instrument had been given to.' Hogg by A. Weflirthe tTieirowner'of Ihe-lracTi empowering him to negotiate and Conclude a sale on fixed terms any lime inside of two years from January 1, 1879. .At the expi ration of that period Hogg went to Weill in New York and tendered a check which he said was for $445,000. It is claimed that Weill never saw the check, said he had no deed prepared, but if the pro ceeding were in good faith he would execute one. He says that he turned to send for his attorney and whtn he again turned around Mr Hogg and his witiiesses had disappeared. Hogg then made a deed to the Willamette Valley & Coast Railway Co. for the con sideration of $445,000, claiming to act as Weill's attorney in fact. The deed was not acknowledged for nearly two years after it pro fessed to have been executed and delivered. The court held that, in, all that was done or professed to have been done under this power, there was nothing consistent or straight, forward: The sale of an option by Hogg, as attorney in fact, to a company in fact owned by him self, without communicating the fact to his principal; the pretended tender of a certified check for $445,000; the recital in the deed by Hogg, as president of the Oregon Pacific company, on Oct. 1, 1880, that the Willamette Val ley company had the right to 'become the owner" of the prop erty in question upon payment of $600,000; the pretended deed by Ilogg, as attorney in fact, convey ing absolutely the same property on November 3, 1880, acknowledg ed more than two years later these things admit of no expla nation consistent with fair dealing or honest motives. In the more than ten years since the expiration of Hogg's power the owners of the property expended large sums of money in complying with the con ditions upon which the grant was made by congress, in defending their title in the courts, and for other necessary expenses in con nection with these lands. The pretended purchasers of the prop erty, or of the option to purchase, did not offer to pay any of these expenses, and does not propose to do so now. Its insolvency . con fesses its inability to pay such charges or purchase price of the alleged sale. The plaintiff was entitled to the relief prayed for, and such was the decree. Saturday's Demonstration. Last Saturday was the biggest day, with perhaps a single ex ception, ever known in Corvallis. A barbecue, a joint discussion by the candidates, two brass bands and a grand rally in the evening by the two old parties, had been well advertised over the county and Friday evening peo ple from the outlying precincts began to arrive. By 9 o'clock Saturday morning the streets were crowded and the city pre sented a gala appearance. Visi tors to the number of several thousand gathered around the tables in the courthouse yard at 12 o'clock, where roast beef and other eatibles were served with a'TavtsETiaW to vrVotleh barbecue was a special feature of the day and the credit . for its success is largely due to W. H. Hartless, who conceived the idea some weeks previous and bent every energy toward making it a complete success. At 2 o'clock the crowd congregated around the speaker's stand erected on the north side of the courthouse to listen to the discussion of the candidates. Owing to a shower of rain and a strong wind an ad junct was taken to the circuit court room which was promptly filled to overflowing. In the ev ening Hon. S. G. Hannum, of Portland, spoke to the republi cans in the same room and as sured his auditors of a republi can victory. As a prophet the returns prove him a success. During his address the enthusi asm was intense and when he had done three cheers were pro posed for the republican ticket, and its response evidenced a flow of party enthusiasm that eclipsed anything of the kind ever known in Corvallis. At 9 o'clock the republicans met at their headquarters and formed into two ' divisions for a parade. The first was headed by the Mon mouth band and the second by the republican drum corps. The route was south on Second to Adams, west to 5 th, north to Monroe, east to First and south again tfc Occidental hotel. There the street was packed with people and as the procession moved between the living walls, the air was rent by cheers for the republican ticket. In front of the hotel the crowd stopped when they were favored with music by the band, a couple of campaign songs by the Blonde quartette, and a short address by Mr. Hannum, who said he would return to Portland the fol lowing morning and report to the republican state central com mittee "that Benton was all right." Numerous transparen cies were seen in the procession that for originality of design and excellence of workmanship would compare favorably with those seen in cities of far greater pre tensions. After giving three cheers for each- candidate on the ticket the procession moved' north to their headquarters. If Corvallis were to enter (!h; present police force, Ed Scott. "Doc" Allen, l-C pid" War ren, "Pasco" yiilianison and Joe Ripley in an international pistol .shooting contest there is no doubt she would take I lie booby prize. A shooting ad'ray, just to make things interesting, took place here M .nil.iy evening tii st, for number of shots exchanged and poor marksmanship, stands as a record-breaker. Ed Scott, iv local desperado, was being taken to the office of the police judge to answer to a charge of di; orderly conduct, for which he ha I been arrested by Olficer McLagan. When near the residence of B. R. Job, Scott jumped away from thu officer and bygan firing at hint with a pistol from behind an elec tric light pole. Mi Laan was iu the middle of the street and returned the fire. The fusiladw attracted considerable attention and Chief Taylor arrived on tin scene and look a few shots at the prisoner. Frank Williamson and Deputy Sheriff. Ripley also came to the rescue and blazed away at. Scott with- their revolver, but ptranfre to say, no one hit him. "Doc" Allen al.so got in some fine work wilh a pistol. lie shot u Third street and hit (lie city Jjali, two blocks out of raitiie. Iiytl.i-: time it was gel ting nbogether ti.;; tropical for S-olt to tarry lung."!-, so lie took rp Third street to :he. Congregational church. II ore Taylor took another shot at t In fugitive. "Cupid" Warren, v.!s; was in hot pursuit, let a bullet ily at Scott, and soon alter captured him in the alley back of Mrs. J. B. Lee's residence. When ovu' taken Scott, showed a determina fion not to be taken and vigorno.j ly resisted all attempts to arrest, him. After rcceivinc a severe beating over the head he was taken to the jail, where an exami nation was made by ajp!iycian who fo'tm'd that; fceoft wat- bleed ing profusely from numerous scalp wounds received in the nieelee at the time of his capture, but wa not seriously hurt. Wednesday morning Scott was taken before Justice Wilson, when he was bound over in the si'm of $U0fi0 to await the action ol the grand jury. Scclt is a tough eharaetoi and is continually getting into some scrape in which he usually figures with a knife or isfol. It is to be hoped that he will he. un able to secure bonds and thai when his trial comes on next No vember he will be promptly con victed and sentenced to the t '-ni tentiary for ten jears. Every day he is allowed his liberty the Jives, of residents of this county ;:e ir danger and if he is ever rel'-aed from jail the chances are he will have no hesitancy in killing al! who have assisted in lus arrest. The noininaiion of John L Daly was a fitting tribute to a rna: of sterling worth and his over whelming majorit' evidence the fact that the people of J.ineoii' counly made no mistake in his se lection. While on file can vas he made friends every day a:;d his election will more firmly cemeiit the bonds of friend:-hip between the residents of the t w o couni ies, which, eince the division, ha been somewhat shattered. His in fluence in . bringing together th? officials of the two counties will bo plainly felt and ere long wo may hope that the bitter feeling winch has heretofore exi-ted will be tirely dispelled and that ti: i pie wi.'l be more firmly than ever.
