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.

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,

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

Look 'out, democrats. Pun is a shrewd

be deals with you. .
Arrangements are being made for a far
mors institute to be held at Woodburn,

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.

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

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

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.

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.

THREB MVBIY FACES.
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

GRANT'S "LIFE AS AN ART."
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,

number ware dolegataa to the connty con
vention last spring.
