A fow days ago, the ladies of E;la worth Relief Corps made a req'uest, asking all persons to contribute suitable literature to the Oregon Soldiers' Home at Roseburg. The call was so generally responded .to, that yesterday the ladies had the satisfaction of sending the Soldiers' Home several hundred pounds of very choice literature. This will be placed in the libraries of that insti tution, and time and again will entertain some veteran who offered his life for the land that flows with milk and honey; the land in which peace aboundr, the land of a truly grateful, patriotic people.

Their many friends have been anticipating such an event for several months and will wish them un -bounded joy. They will make their home on Mr. Allen's farm near Philomath. The Gazette extends congratulation. Ollie Huston, the young gambler who made Corvallis his headquarters during last winter, died last week at his home iu Scio; aged 22 years, 4 mouths and 12 days. Com menting on his life, the Scio Press has the following: While many people may object to the habits and associations formed by him, all knew him to be obliging aud gener ous. Popular among his associates, his early demise will cause a feeling of sadness to isany of them. Wheq we think of the faults and frailties of humanity and how prone we all are to do evil we should extend that mantle of charity to others, even as we would have it extended to us. Last week mention w.-ui made in these columns of an altercation between O. Modgina, of the Palace saloon, and U. S. Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Geo. Chapman, whose real name is J. B. Mullay, which resulted in the arrest of the collector on two separate charges. TJ. S. District Attorney Murphy, who was here Wednus- day, stated that toe necessary steps would be taken to have both cases transferred to the U. S. district court in Portland. While here John D. Daly and others who saw the affair were subpoenaed as witnesses. I In the case of the U. S. vs. Hodgins, pre ferred by Collector M allay, a continuance wes asked by Attorney Murphy until Deo. 4th, which Commissioner Holgate granted. Benton county will probably bs the firsrt in the state to get her tax roll completed, aud in the hands of the secretary of state. Geuerally, throughout the state, it has been usual for the rolls to arrive at Salem long overdue. Clerk Hunter was notified sev eral days ago that his roll should be sent in on the 1st of the month, and accordingly be has worked day and uight to get the work completed, and yesterdav, at 11 o'clock, the tedious job was finished. The rolls will be expressed to the secretary of state tomor row. Tho work is nicely done, and reflects credit upon Mr. Hunter and Deputy Car lilo. But for the extra hours put in by them, it would have been impossible to have completed the rolls on time, without extra assistance. Tyee Joe, one of our Blodgett correspon dents, sends the Gazette tho following, un der date of Nov. 27th: The hunt for John Henderson, who is supposed to have bean lost on the ridge between Bark ci eek and and Turn Turn, or. in that vicinity, was ended today. He left his home two weeks ago Wednesday for a short hunt, telling bis wife he would return that evening or the next. No suspicions were aroused as to his being lost, for three or four days, as he was in the habit of leaving home for two or three days without telling his folks wheu he would return. Parties of men have searched dili gently for him since a week ago Monday. A party of forty men hunted for his body Monday. All hopes of his ever being found, dead or alive, are given up. It was thought by some that he bad left the conutrv, and that parties near by knew of it; but it is proved beyond a doubt, that this is a mistake. The criminal actions against Z. Job, B. R.

Is Having Some Hard Tales Told on Him. Frank Syke3 is liable to havo hia conduct investigated by the next grand jury. If reports are tine concerning his doods there is every reason to buliove that aa opportu nity will bo afforded hitn to repent in prison clothes. Last Friday two of his neighbors, John Heinricha aud Wm. Keehu, living about four miles south of Blodgett, came to town and appeared before a justice oc the peace, wheu Ileinrichs swore to aa inform ation accusing Sykes with "an assault with intent to commit rap6." .The complaint alleged that the assault was made on Hain rich'8 wife, aud that one John Gradig was a witness to the affair. Keehu told a-serious tale of improper relations that existed for several days between bis wife and Sykes during the absence of Keehn from homa. Thdr assault on Mrs. Heiurichs was also alleged to have occurred last summer during her husband's absence. The warrant for Sykes' arrest was issued last Saturday morn ing and placed in the sheriff's hands for service, but before he could get out of town Heinrichs returned aud begged to have the matter hushed up. He bad walked from homa in order that the affair might not proceed further. He alleged as a reason for his strange action that oh arriving home the previous night he informed his spouso of his action, and instead of relieving her mind, the intelligence angered her and she proceeded to inform her liege lord that if the matter ever got into the courts she would leave him. This action placed Hein richs ia a peculiar position. If the matter proceeded further he would be wifeless. The officers saw that it would be useless' to proceed with the caso as the principal wit ness for the state was hostile to the prosecu tion; that a large bill for coats might bo incurred, with little chance of securing a conviction, so tha matter was dropped. The publicity given the affair, however, will probably cause Sykea to seek a mors genial clime, but if it does not, tho decent citizens of the neighborhood should - make it so tropical for him that it will be impossible for him to longer continue his resideuce ia the community. Later. Keehn returned to town on Tuesday and stated that his wife was anx ious to have Sykes prosecuted. He made the necessary affidavit aud a warrant was again issued and is in the sheriff's haads for service. Jveetin, so it is reported, claims that during hia absence l3fc August, Sykes came to his home, assaulted his wife, ' and for a period of five nights continued to cohabit with her. From reports it seoms that information of the disgraceful proceed-1-ings was not given to the injured husband until last week when he immediately took steps to have the invader of hia home pros ecuted. Sykes was brought in Wednesday night, aud on being read the complaint, be asked, through his attorney, W. S. McFad- den, that the examination be postponed until Saturday, Dec. 1st, at 11 o'clock. The necessary bonus tor Ins appearance beiug given, with Chas. Albrecht and M. Schmidt as sureties, the case was postponed. The affair is pretty budly tangled up, aud what the outcome will bo, ia hard to prediot. PSRRIS "WHBUryS IN COURT. Thanksgiving eve the gloomy precincts of Justice Wilson's court wore profaned by an exhibition of drunken oaths and Irish wit. Not that the court made use of the "cuss" words, for His Honor ia too dignified for that, but a somewhat tough gang . was up before the squire, ono of the trio in the capacity of defendant on a charge of as sault and battery preferred by the other two. The two complaining witnesses were a man and a woman. It snouts the three havs been living together in a tent below town aud got into a drunken brawl. The defendant, on being ushered into the tem ple of justice failed to realize the solemnity of the occasion and it was with great diffi culty that the court succeeded in subduing him.- The prisoner, Ferris, begged to be allowed to ask if it was a "Kangaroo" court he was being tried in. In fact, the Ferris and other whoels in his head seemed to be in a continual revolution. When the court appointed Squire Holgate as counsel for the defendant, he asked if the officers were not ''joshing" him by bringing him be fore a "kid" judge and having him de fended by a "kid" lawyer. He enquired confidentially of Squire Holgate if he really was a lawyer, but on the squire's calling attention to his luxuriant beard, Ferris succumbed to the' inevitable. Dur ing the examination the male prosecuting witness and the defendant engaged iu a highly embelhtihed wordy altercation, to prevent which, His Honor resorted to he roic measures. At one time, tbe prisoner became so obstreperous that the court was compelled to silence him by placing a jii- dioial hand over defendant's mouth. Upon being read tbe complaint charging him with assault, Ferris was asked to plead and replied "Its a d lie." After her culean efforts, however, his attorney per suaded him to plead guilty aud he was lined $5.00 and costs. Being moneyless, he was sent to jail. It was a breezy trial and immensely enjoyed by the numerous spectators. Tbe two witnesses were given a sharp reprimand by the court aud advised to leave the county immediately. SPECIAL NOTICES.

The "survival o the fittest" theory has no recoftuttion iu dogdotn. The cur, ugly and worse than useless, is the only breed of dog that has a good chance to reach old age in Corvallis. The cur canine and cur human seem to have close affiliation, and the latter makes mora room in the world for the for mer, by warring against the better breed of dogs. The cur human naturally uses the Weapou of the coward poison. Tutting out poison where children or animals domestic can get at it, should be made a crime. A poisoner i a loathsome thing. Business Corvallis had a smile last Satur unlay, over a trunk. A (km of brothers recently had a serious disagreement with auother member of the family, who left their employ. A few days ago the firm loaned a drummer's trunk to another mer chant, who had some repairs made to it, and packed it with samples to send bayward. The firm learned Saturday morning that their offended relative was to be the drum mer, and was going away on tho train. Gracious Moses ! This must be attended to. They demanded back their trunk. The borrowing merchant calmly announced his intentiou of using the trunk aa agreed upon. The trunk was sent to the depot, and the brothers were in a state of desperation. But, happy thought, the law! the law! A justice was huutad up; replevin papers hur riedly drawn np, and a deputy sheriff rushed to the depot with the . yonger member of the firm. The latter recognized tha trunk iu the baggage car, but tha railway official failed to sympathise with the agitated Hebrew. The baggage master sent him to the agent to serve the papers, aud while he was gone the train pulled out. Law is ex pensive eveu if not satisfactory and it prob ably cost the firm $7 or 38 for the attempt to get back a $10 trunk. . 4 Corvallis has few prohibitionietB, but the most of her citizens demand a more strin gent control of the liquor tragi ie. The right to sell intoxicating drinks Bhould not be given to low-principled, lawless fellows who lack even tho common instincts of manhood. That boys of fifteen to twenty youug fel lows of good parentage aud bright prospects can be found gambling and drinking openly in a licensed saloon, shames all of ua offi cers, couucilmen aud citizens. What a fiend he is who aids oomplaccntly the besot mg ot children. The other day the officers found a lad of 16 lying on the. floor of the "Palace" saloon, iu a filthy state of drunk enness. He refused to state where he pur chased the liquor, but it is simply doing jus tice to the other saloon men to say he would not be allowed inside their places of business. This "corner saloon" haa sold whisky to children, whose heads hardly came up to tho bar. It has been the scene of more dis order and fighting than all the other saloons combined. Its proprietor is a big, rough, course fellow whose counteuance, villainous looking aa it ia, ia often further dismarked by black and blue evidences of fistic encoun ters. Iu his saloon have beeu seen young boys playing "stud poker," drinking whisky at the bar, and sleeping iu the chairs, while courtezans would coma iu and out as boldly as though there was no law to tha coutrary. It ia the resort of vags, tinhorns, pimps aud fiends. Decent men are never seen there except on buainesj. ' But ita doors are open to youug boys who might be tempted by older companions "to see the world," and spend their dimea for drinks, or in "rake offs." This can be stopped. It must be stopped.

Authority. No authority of greater experience on food products ex ists than Dr. Henry A. Mott, of New York. Dr. Mott's wide experience as Government Chemist for the Indian Depart ment, gave him exceptional opportunities to acquaint himself with the qualities and constituent parts of baking powders. He understands thoroughly the comparative value of every brand in the market, and has from time to time expressed his opinion thereof. On a recent careful re-examination and analysis he finds Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder superior to all others in strength, purity, and efficiency. Dr. Mott writes : . New York, March 20th, 1894. I find Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder to be superior to all others, for the following reasons : 1st. It liberates the greatest amount of leavening gas and is consequently more efficient. 2nd. The ingredients used in its preparation are of the purest character. ' ' 3rd. Its keeping qualities are excellent. 4th. On account of the purity of the materials and their relative proportions, Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder must be considered the acme of perfection as regards wholesomeness and efficiency, and I say this having in mind certificates I have given several years ago respecting two other baking powders. The reasons for the change in my - opinion are based on the above facts and the new method adopted to prevent your baking powder from caking and deteriorating in strength. Henry A. Mott. Ph. D., L. L. D." THE OUAXGE IN THE MUD. "Methodists," 22 "Hayseeds," 0 h Our Boys Outclassed The Pennant Lost and Portland Wins It - Football is a sort of- a dirty game any way! Until three o'clock yesterday after noon we thought it was the finest sport in the world, but a change of heart has been experienced and we no longer find ; enjoy ment in it at all. Don't even like tha name. It sounds badly; grates on our ears and the wonder is we ever found anythiug in football to interest us even for a moment. Tbe trouble is our fellows were defsated and the whole office force is sick and re covery is doubtful. Playing began promptly at three o'clock. The delay was caused by short lectures to each of the teams by President Bloss, Presi dent Campbell, of Monmoutb, and Prof. D. L. Edwards, of Portlasd University, in whioh the players were given to understand that no . slugging, swearing or vulgarity would be tolerated, and any one gnilty would be promptly expelled from the insti tution where such might be iu attendence. Portland won the toss and chose the west goal. Portland punted and .Terrell caught it and returned it 25 yards by means of good interference. For a time the game was spirited; seesawing back and forth with fair gains for each team. Portland, how ever, soon began a series of end plays, and before teu minutes had elapsed, Washburn had carried tbe ball over Corvallis' goal line and by kicking goal the score stood Portland 6, O. A. C. 0. Corvallis made the next kick off and Portland soon worked the ball well back to center by two excellent runs around the end. Playing here was rapid and in 4 minutes Corvallis again had the pigskin only to lose it on downs. After a succes sion' of center plays with gains for the "Methodists," DeForest got the ball and carried it to within tea yards of tbe O. A, C. goal lino and Portland soon worked it for a touch down and goal waa again kicked; score, Portland, 12; O. A. C, 0. Time was called soon after the next kick off and neither side scored. During the second half, Corvailis, by some splendid work, in which the turtle back was used for good gains, soon bad the leather within two yards of Portland's goal line, when they punted it back for a gala of 5 yards. After pounding each other's center with small gains for Portland, Pear son carried the ball around the left end to within 15 yards of Corvallis' goal line and soon worked it for a touch down, but failed to kick goal. Soon after the next .kick-off Portland scored another touch down and goal. Time was called soon after the next kick-off, when the score stood, Portland, 22; 0. A. C, 0. Corvallis put up a good game, but were plainly outclassed. Their ends were strong but the backs played too slow. The game waa hotly contested throughout, aud was marked for brilliant plays, and was a splen div game for spectators. This is. the first really strong team our team haa met and their defeat will in the end bo beneficial, as it disclosed their weak points. The decisions of Umpire Young, of Al bany; Referee Page, of Salem, and linesman Vinning, of Monmouth, were impartial and satisfactory to all. There was an absence. ' of slugging and the best of feeling prevailed throughout. After the grme, the two teams were banqueted at the girls' dormitory,. The collation bad been prepared by" the ladies, and ample justice Was done to the excellent spread. The Gazette is thankful with a big T. The editorial staff no longer burns the mid- l-night oil. It writes pungent comments on the attain ot the day in tbe ' wee sma ( hours of the night, as usual, but by the I light of a glowing, brilliant diamond. One turn of fortune's wheel has brouaat the ed I itor from abject poverty to affluence, and I he now looks with pity on the bread and butter struggles of bis less fortunate brethren of the press. This paper dislikes i to meur the envious enmity of other news papers by calling attention to its extraor dinary good luck, but an evont of this sort is one of a life time. It would be contrary to human nature not to feel gratified or make some publio expression of this edi tor's sense of superiority. The diamond came in the shape of a ring drawn by ticket No. 690, at the Wizard Oil Compa ny's entertainment last Thursday night. It was the capital prize. The only shadow to ouf full enjoyment of the diamond is lack of proper raiment to accompany it. It would look well on the hand of a young lady and tbe editor would present it to bis lady love, but ha has none. Our 50 and 75c.
