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

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.

most excellent one and will meet with e i

An Important Decision.
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.

"Doc" Allen, l-C pid" War

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.

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,
