Shulse. a prominent minister of Salem, has been assisting Bev. Hiram Gould, of this city, in conducting protracted meetings at the, Methodist church during the past week. The council will ask the legislature to ameud subdivision 1, of section 37, chapter 5, of the charter, by giving it the power to provide what proportion of the city taxes ehajl be paid in cash. P. Nash, who has kept readers of the Gazettb informed as to doings about the college during the past few months, left Monday for the metropolis, where he will enter the Portland Business College. John H. Stewart, who took the anti Dolph petitioo'to Salem" last Friday night returned Tuesday, and says the impression prevails at the capital that. Dolph's election is impossible. His defeat is conceded by even bis warmest supporters. .- r- Our Alsea correspondent writes that "the feeling in the Alsea valley is almost unan imous against Dolph. We are glad to see the Gazettb take -the stand it has in the senatorial contest, and glad to learn that there is yet a possibility to defeat Dolph. He is not. the man the people want." 3euator Mitchell has introduced and had reported to the senate from the committee on claims, a bill appropriating $7000 for the relief of Sidney W. Morse, of Oregon City, for property taken from him by the govern ment At Cape Disappointment in 1852. A similar bill appropriating the tame sum for Peter Grant Stewart passed the senate a few days ago. .. It may be of interest to the "great un washed" to know that Pnnderson Avery has gone to the capital. Hearing that Dolph bad a large barrel, he conceived the idea that something might be made by buying and selling democratic . votes to Dolph Look 'out, democrats. Pun is a shrewd dealer and is sure to make a large profit if be deals with you. . Arrangements are being made for a far mors institute to be held at Woodburn, February 14 and loth under the auspice of the Agricultural College. These institutes, held at short intervals throughout the state, are proving of incalculable benefit to the mtxtel and at the same time are extending the beneficial influence of the college to veryjlocalifcy in Oregon. Word has been received that the special car, which has been held in waiting several days by the Southern Pacific to convey Sen ator Dolph, when elected, back to his duties at Washington, has been moved east. The managers having concluded senator would probably 'be elected . in which' the S. P. would, have no special interest, and who would travel on the ordinary train. Kdwin Jackson was- examined Tuesday morning on a complaint of insanity, before Justice H. L. Holgate,. act in a for Judge Hufford, who was absent in Salem. - The examination was made by Dra. Pet-not and Farra.-t who decided that be was insane. Upon - this evidence, Jackson was com mitted 1 to the asylum, and ws taken to Salem on the' noon train by Sheriff Osbnrn, assisted by Grover Headrick. . . ' The Ladies' Coffee Club held their reg ular monthly meeting Monday afternoon, at which time 'a committee was appointed to confer with the other companies in the fire department, relative to purchasing a piano. For some time, the matter of either pur chasing or renting a piano has been dii cussed, but no definite action in the matter has so far been taken. It is sincerely to be hoped that the plan will be carried on to a successful consummation. D. B. Irvine and family left with their household effects last week for Salem, where they will reside in the future. Mr. Irvine has rented a building in the capital city, and will at once open a shoe manufacturing eatab lishment. His business here will be con tinned by his son. Mr Irvine has been in business in Corvallis continuously for over 25 years, during which time he has made many friends, who will wish him -mnch success in his new location. . . Hair cutting 5 'cents and shaving 10 cents at T. C. Case's. - If Dolph 's whiskers were removed, it would . relieve him and the Oregonian of much suffering. i He can have the opera tion successfully perfumed at Spencer's. Captain M. Buchanan, depnty United States surveyor, located at Nehalem, was married a week ago last Monday evening to Mrs. H. A. Atwood, at the Perkins hotel in Portland. , The bride was a resident of Corvallis for - many years, where, by her kind . and obliging manner and charitably, disposition, she became the center of a large circle of friends, all of whom will be pleased to hear of. her marriage. The groom is said to be a gentlemen of considerable - wealth and influence. After a brief wedding tour the happy couple will take up their ' perma nent residence at Nehalem. - Congressman Hermann has been endeav oring for some time to secure a pension for the survivors of Indian wars of 1847 and 1848, in which Dr. Whitman was killed, and for the survivors of Indian wars in Or egon between 1851 and and 1856. In order to secure stronger support for these meas ures he has introdnced a general bill to pension all survivors of Indian wars prior to 1856 not entitled to pensions under existing laws. Mr. Hermann has also introduced a bill on which he has secured the endorse ment of the secretary of the navy, granting certain ordinance flags to the soldiers' home at Roseburg. Monday's train carried to the state capi tal a coterie of professional political wire pullers, which, it was - thought, would straightway work a change in the senatorial situation. With such an array of eloquence, influence and 'shrewdness ' as was repre sented by Messrs. Hufford, Moore and Da visson, it seems increditable that the fight would be prolonged for a day. The attempt of these men to override public sentiment in the interest of Dolph is meeting with deserved disapproval. It is unfortunate that one of Mr. Davisson's promise aed usual good judgment should be identified with such an unpopular movement. Under the management of the - King's Daughters of the Episcopal church, a very successful sociable and entertainment was given at the residence of H. R, Clark on Sat urday evening. Stereoptican views and pantomine pictures formed the first part of the entertainment. Of these, club swinging by Will Keady was clever and much ap preciated. After this, Mr. Clark, daughter and Miss Fisher rendered some choice musical selections. Refreshments were served at 10 o'clock and dancing concluded the evening at eleven. . Ten cents was charged each person and a neat sum realized for the benefit of the church. The "Maids .of the Mist" were happily surprised Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Minnie Lee by the advent of a few gentlemen friends whom the hostess had in vited in to take tea with the club at the conclusion of its meeting. From half-past five until six, merriment reigned supreme. Following the refreshments, dancing was in order. Those enjoying the dainty "after noon" were Misses Leon Louis, Amy Plura mer, Elsie Failing, of Portland, Hattie Friendly, Aimee Lyford, Carrie Lyford, Sa rah Jacobs, Maude Brenneman; Messrs. C. O. ; Wells. B. W. Johnson, Chas. Clark, E. E. Wilson, Bowen Lester, Gifford Nash.

A petition was presented, asking'.the council to assume the expenses of Sol Smith, who was injured at the fire Monday morning. This called forth some discussion, which showed that a com mendable spirit existed toward the fire de partment, and a general desire prevailed to assume young Smith's expenses, because he was injured while serving the city in the eapacity of a volunteer fireman. The- mat ter was referred t a special committee, con sisting of Gibsan, Eglia and Lee. A com mittee was also appointed to confer with the water company with regard to securing more efficient service. February 9th, Prof. Will Loe will close very successful term of school in the Ballfountun district. For five months the school has been in session continuously, during which time Prof. Leo has proved a competent and painstaking inntrnctor and heeome deservedly popuUr with his forty five pupils. On the evening of February 9, a literary and musical program will be ren dered, followed by a "shadow social," the pioceeds of winch, will be donated to the school and literary society connected with it.

Three lovely visages graced the sacred precincts of J ustice Wilson's court Monday afternoon." They belonged to Harry White, Jack Dennis and Ralph Daniels, three Cor vallis gentlemen of leisure who were oharged with the larceny of sundry bottles of liquor from' the Palace saloon ' during Monday morning's fire. All three bore on their countenances the evidence that they had been -': drinking something stronger ' than "Willamette." White was tried first and conducted his own defense. He showed considerable aptitude as a lawyer and had undoubtedly been in police courts before. Notwithstanding that he admitted stealing the goods on being arrested, the evidence was not strong enough to convict him. The evidence in the other two peases being similar, en motion of Mr. Yates they were dismissed. Mr. Woldt, the propreitor of the saloon, lost about $100 worth of goods throngh theft. Corvallis has quite a num ber of idle gentlemen whose presence, simply as citizens, would be readily dispensed with. The recent fire revealed a mob of looters whom it is impossible to punish owing to lack of evidence. These fellows, ot whom there are at least a dozen, are a constant menace to the safety of property and the welfare of the commnnity. The three in the justice's court Monday were bat a fair sample of their kind. - The police should invite them to use dispatch in seek- in, a mam nnnrrarll.T nli'ma r 6 Our new stock of hats for spring are now in.

A Synopsis of the Lecture on This Sub ject by Dr. Roland . D. Grant. Y ,. So seldom is it that we hear -an address at once so instructive, so fascinating, so charg ed with food for thought, as that delivered by Dr. Rowland Grant, at the opera house last Thursday evening, that we make bold to attempt a synopsis or general outline of this album of word-pictures, for the benefit of those of our readers who were so unfortu nate as not to hear it. .' "Life," said Mr. Grant, "is far more than a science. Life is an art. Art is an ambig uous term, usually meaning the completion of nature." The speaker proceeded to show, with remarkable clearness, the nice dU -tinction between science and art; deducing from hi logical analyses of the two terms the plain and 'concise conclusion that "scisnce consists in knowing; arc consists in doing." Nature overlooks mnch in perfect ing her work. It is science that knows how to make np the deficiencies, and the cunning hand of art that accomplishes the desired result. Science conforms to rules, but art breaks all rules. Demanding freedom for her workings, she laughs at laws, and revels in the light of her own ingenuity. To be artistic does not necessarily mean perfection. In fact, it is in the very absence of this qual ity that the art sometimes exsists. How much more picturesque and. artistic are the decayed and crumbling walls of some old castle, than when they stood in frowning perfection monuments of the ideal in arch etecture of their time. Symmetry is but another word for. art; but when this resolves itself into set lines and exact propor tions it loses its charm. A line may ' be drawn so true and perfect that it will be dis pleasing to the sight, just as a discordant tone in music will jar upon the ear. After a brief exordium, of which the above is a very crude sketoh, he passed on to the relation of the beautiful aud artistic to our daily lives. We are alt artists in the work shop of life, completing or perfecting the work which uature.hss begun. Our physi cal, mental and spiritual being are to ' be developed and cultivated. It is but right and a duty we owe our fellowmen, to orna ment our minds with the .brio-a-brac of knowledge and adorn our bodies with pleas ing dress. ' It is our duty also to cover np the dark and unsightly scars wrought by tribulation aud trial, and show to the world a countenance fair ana inviting, "liut, says one, "that would be a cheat and a lie!" Well then, we will ' cease to deceive, by covering the unsightly laths and rough boards of our homes with plaster and paint, for this too is "a cheat and lie.". Shall we beautify our homes, and permit our lives to be seen forbiding and unattractive? 'Tis well to let our deeds be open and free for inspection, but these are but the glass before the picture; the canvass should be impervi ous to sight. Each day we add another sketch to the pictures we have been hanging in life's gal lery, Onr earlier paintings, and not a few of the later ones, are liberally daubed with green".? There "are two kinds of greenhorns: 'The country greenhorn, who would like to know it all; and the city greenhorn, who thinks he can tell hiiu." .;' ". : "The future lies behind ns, the past is before us," said Mr. Graut, We see the past, but the future is hidden until the shadows of coming events fall upon onr shoulders. We should grasp each opportu nity as it flashes by on winds of time, and trace thereon some form of beauty, so th at all shall he pleasing in onr wake, as the rose makes fragrant the breezi as it passes. Life and living are not the same thing. How many walk through nature's g tileries, see ing nothing but .the outlines of the paiutings; feeiiug no thrill at the grandeur of the pro ductions of the Master artist. Mr. Grant related an incident, which was very amusiug aud an excelleut illustration of this point. In company with one of America's leading artists, and a mutual friend a very prosaic, unimaginative sort of person Dr. Grant was exploring the beautiful White Moun tains of New Hampshire. The artistic gen tleman was in advance of the others, and rounding a point of rocks, came in full view of that massive pile of granite, "The Man of the Mountains." Awed by the grandeur of the scene, the artist stood spell-bouud, look ing through nature up to nature's God. While he gazed, unconscious of everything but the sublime and awful spectacle before him, his matter-of-fact friend came puffing around the point. Catching sight of thehngh mass of stone, he wiped the perspiration from his burning brow and exclaimed: "My gosh, what a pile of rocks !" t We are each the publisher of a daily pa per, whose mes win he the record of our life. How careful and particular we should be in the selection of our copy; and how thoroughly the proofs should be read and corrected 1 We do not want for subscribers, for all our acquaintances take a copy, and in the event of the publication of a sensa tional article they take two copies one to give away. In youth we are apt to do with pride, what in after years we will look back npon with sorrow and humiliation. The very thiugs of which young men boast, old men repent. ' Not a moment should be wasted in build ing tne - monoutn of cnaracter. it we would have onr work perfect; no flaw or blemish, nor evidence of crcde workman ship, we must improve every opportunity. Life is too brief to complete more than one statue of our character, and the utmost cantion should attend every blow given to the chisel, that no fractures shall result, Better to make haste slowly, and strike forty blows to accomplish onr purpose, than to strike one heavy one and destroy all our previous work. . Michael Angelo could i at a glance, just , where an alteration was needed in his modal, and could fly at it like a madman, never making a false stroke, nor cutting too deep. But there was only one Michael Angelo. Man is born- at a disad vantage with other animals. He is twelve years of age before he has a thought of his own and it is six years more before he has a sen sible one.-- The fish never" knows who its mother was, but is obliged to begin life on its own hook, and it is kept busy ever af terward trying to keep off the hooks of others. After reaching the age of 18 or 20 yean, there is a period the speaker placed mnch emphasis on the word "period," and descended from this "giddy". position to npte the time taken up by sleep and sick ness, which leaves ns only a comparatively few years to complete our labors. - We should strive to make oar picture ori ginal. Our characteristics should name or determine us. It was only necessary for Mr. Grant to trace in imagination the form of a man standing on the deck of a ship his arms folded, his face lit up with the joy of a cherished hope realized, while at his feet kneeled a score of Spanish sailors,-) and to place upon . the vessel's bow the figares 1492, to bring to every, lip the word "Columbus." The vision of a man, with powdered hair, and dressed in the fashion of onr revolutionary fathers, is brought before ns. He is standing, pen in hand, before a table upon which lies a document the only part of whose contents we can see is the final of one word " 'depen dence," and we see in letters of living light the name "Benjamin Franklin."' Again we are in a room in which a man sits writing. His face is wrinkled and thoughtful, yet kind. His brow is marked with , deep fur rows; eaoh'furrow the grave of thousands of Union soldiers: We can catch the word "Emancipation," and our heart thrills, while our very soul echoes the name ef the mar tyred "Lincoln." ... -' . . It was with much force and a thorough mastery of his subject that Mr. Grant cov ered the ground so rudely outlined, above. He has an air, as natural . to him as his b-eath, of self confidence, that inspires his hearers with belief. Ready, forceful, keen and animated, as well as witty, by turns, and theroughly unartificial, he makes a most admirable platform speaker. , . A K.EMARKABLJ5 OPERATION. The Democrat -has already mentioned the operation recently performed by Dr. G. W. Maston, of this city assisted by Dr. Frank Canthoru, of Portland, npon the per son ot M. r. Taylor of Corvallis., The operation was performed at the Portland hospital January 17th. The case is one that deserves more than a mere mention, for the operation was one of the most wonderful on the Pacific coast, and probably not ex celled in extent in the United States. Dr. Maston returned last night from Portland, where he had been and removed the stitches from the wound, and left Mr. Taylor in excellent condition, happy at so favorable a result after to desperate an operation. He brought with him the tumor that caused the trouble, aud the resected intestine at tached, a sight of which only increases ones surprise at the successful termination of the operation. The editor of the Democrat assisted, in measuring the intestine, done with a stout tape, aud eaw the figures show ing the length of intestine removed, 44$ in ches, instead of 37 inches as reported, .Af ter measuring, the intestine was inflated, showing the true situation and relative posi tions of tumor and intestine, and .verifying the fact of the impossibility of removing the growth alone. The whole will be placed in alcohol to preserve it, and it will always speak for itself in connection with the oper ation. The case was Dr. Maaton'a and the operation was performed by him, assisted by.Drt Frank Canthornnf Portland. iThe work was done in the presence of several surgeons of Portland and the senior class of the medical department of the Willamette university. ' This operation reflects . great credit on the surgeons performing it, and the Democrat takes great pride in giving the facts, as the principal in the case is an Al bany surgeon. Albauy Democrat.

' DOLPH IN BENTON COUNTY. The People of Benton Against the Simon Senator Coop er's Bolt Approved. On Friday last our city was treated to novel free entertainment. Word reached here just after dinner that Representative Cooper bad bolted Dolph and was on the side of the people. Immediately a spirit of activity manifested itself among the Corval lis worshipers of the senatorial iceberg, and they began searching the highways and byways for signatures to a petition, announc ing that the people of Benton county were staying awake at aight praying for the re-election of Dolph. The First National Bank furnished three names. It is but half block from there to Mr. Kline's store where the proprietor, and his four clerks swelled the document to formidable propor tions. Stopping at Tammany Hall three more names were obtained. But even this gigantic list did not cool the ardor of the devotees of the Portland lawyer, who has been dubbed "His Whiskers," against the frantic protests of the Oregonian. Couriers were at onoe dispatched to the neighboring precincts, and injess than two days a whole sheet of legal-cap paper was covered with signatures aggregating the enormous number of twenty-eight names. It seems incon ceivable that Mr. Cooper ean disregard this evidence of the will of his constituents. The prime movers in the circulation of the petition were a bank cashier aud an amateur money-broker who have long been known as having the interests ef the people at heart. The presence of the names of these two gentlemen alone on the petition ought to satisfy oor representatives that the popular sentiment in Benton county is overwhelm ingly in favor of the deliverer of cold-storage speeches. There is no doubt that Mr. Daly can interpret the will of the people by means of the petition headed by Mr. Peet and Mr. Davissou, as favorable to Dolph. It is feared, however, that Messrs. Carter and Cooper will not possess the acuteness of acumen to perceive that the list is an aggre gation of all that is good and holy in Ben county republicanism. It is so unusual for banks, corporations, and money-lenders to favor the re-election of . Dolph, that the manly and independent stand of the gentle men sending the petition, will inure to their already great and deserved popularity. By this single act they have perpetually endeared themselves to the people. So much confi dence have the masses in, anything that might be advocated by these gentlemen that several of those who signed the petition did so not knowing whether it asked the county conrt to fill np a mudhole on the Greasy road or prayed that congress pass the Nicaraguan canal bilL Of the twenty-eight who signed the petition four are known to be anti-Dolph men. As near as can be learned the- list was as fol lows: . R. M. Davisson,-W. T. Peet, M. S. Woodcock, Geo. Lilly, S. L. Kline, W. S. Lin villa, Luther Smith, "Viator Hart, E. Eyer, W. S. Hufford, B. W. Wilson, F. M. Johnson, Norm Lilly, Joe Firestein, A. M. Withanv S. 1 Shedd, E, Allen, William Groves, N. R. Barber, Grover Hedrick, Cam Hemphill, John Simpson, Robert Wilson, A. R. Pygall, Wm. Wright,' J. G. Woeste feld, L. 1 W elkerJaktt Weber. The last four are anti-Dolphanen. ' The Gazettb was one of the first papers to oppose the re-election of J. N. Dolph. It was the contention of this paper first, that he was not the best man that conld be chosen for the position, and that the senti ment of the people of Benton connty was clearly against him. Events have proven that throughout the state the June election was not the result of any popularity of Dolph, That the position of the Gazette is approved by the great body of republicans voters in (he county, is evidenced by the enthusiasm manifested over Representative Cooper's change, and also by the numerous congratulatory telegrams and monster anti Dolph petitions sent him since last Friday. The people of Benton have never forgiven Simon's treachery to his party in defeating Judge Waldo, and later on, in the knifing of D. P. Thompson, who ran for governor against Pennoyer in 1890. The ring, repre sented by Simon, has ever been' in opposi tion to legislation favorable to the voters of this county. The Oregonian is the organ of the cabal. It has ever sneered at the Ya quina bay as a harbor, and but recently de manded legislation that would lose to us the Aericultural College. Those who hob nob with and futher the interest of this damna ble Portland clique are disloyal to the best interests of the state. Local pride and local patriotism shonld canse every honora ble citizen of Benton county to work for the overthrow of the Portland political machine. Dolph is the puppet of that ring, and the manager of his campaign is Joe Simon. The people of this connty are strongly against perpetuating this Simon combination, and Mr. Cooper, by his vote of Friday, has made himself the most popular man in old Benton. There was no difficulty experienced in get ting signatures to the anti-Dolph petition, All day Saturday republicans were calling at the Gazette office in search of the man with the petition, which asked our repre sentatives to hold out against the election of Mr. Dolph. In two hours Friday evening seventy-two names were obtained to a peti tion, commending Mr. Cooper's coarse, and was sent to him that ninht by special car rier. Monday, another one from Corvallis was sent to Salem, containing in the neigh " Awarded Highest Honors World Fair. ft MOST PERFECT MADE. A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder.

Similar ones are being sent from every precinct in the connty. Friday one was sent from Philomath, which is said to have contained the name of nearly every republican in the precinct. Every signature thus obtained is a farther evidence that the Gazette, in its fight against Dolph, is expressing the will of .the people and is in touch with their sympathies.
