Eight short years ago, the eighth day oi next May, at Corvallis, wedding bells were pealing forth their joyful notes. "What a world of happiness their harmony."

The stock now is complete, bnt no new goods will be ordered during the remainder of their stay in this city. E. Coburn, who recently arrived here from Hastings, Nebraska, has concluded to locate iu Benton county permanently. He says crops in the county where he lived were almost a total failure, due to drouth, and hot winds during the month of July, Mr. Coburn says that while the winter has been an intensely cold one, there has been no snow thus far to speak of, and stock will get through iu good shape.

Plummer, Prof, and Mrs. Washburn, Dr. and Mrs. Wilson, Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Lee, Misa Snail, Mrs. Selling, Mrs. Lee, Miss Leon Louis, Misa Eda Jacobs, Miss Pfeifer, of Albany, Rob;.

Lee, and the booby prize to Miss Pfeifer and Mr. Kriebel. Playing was con cluded at 1 1 o'clock, when an delioious and dainty luncheon was served. The ladies of the Methodist church held a caucus lust week and decided that each should earn oas dollar for the support of their pastor. There were no restrictions made as to how that dollar should be earned. One young man was skeptical as to the la dies' fulfillment of their agreement and fa cetiously offered a charming young lady fifty cents to haul him up Main street in a haad cart. However, the young lady promptly accepted and after tea the following even ing, called for him with her "carriage." He attempted to decline the pleasure, but she refused to rescind the contract and took him "nolens volens." This will explain to many hitherto unenlightened - pedestrians as to the meaning; of the strange spectacle they encountered Monday night. A very interesting and impressive event occurred at the Suaday school of the Pres byterian church in this city last Sabbath. At the suggestion of the superintendent, Prof. J. B. Horner, a cross of beautiful spring flowers was provided by the Sunday school in memory of Bertha Bryson, who was a member of the school at the time of her death. In the absence ot Prof. Horner. Mrs. Horner stated to the school the object of this memorial, after which Prof. Yates aud Dr. Thompson made a few remarks appropriate to the occasion. The cross was then given to Bertha's class, now in charge of Mrs. Blots, who went in a body in the afternoon and placed it upon Bertha' grave in Crystal Lake cemetery. It was a sweet service of remembrance of one who is held in memory dar by the Sunday school of which she was a faithful aud cherished member. Many persons is this vicinity seem to be laboring uuder the impression that Senator Mc Bride is an invalid and is not likely to live to take his seat in the npper house of the national legislature. It is true that he has been a constant sufferer for Beveral years from some spinal trouble, the result of a runaway accident, but during the past year he has been in New York undergoing modioli treatment under the care of an em inent specialist, and is now very mucn im proved ia health; so much bo that the crutches he formerly used to assist him in getting about have been discarded. He claims to be enjoying better health than be has for years. From his elastic step and more robust appearance, it is apparent to to those who have known Mr. McBride for years that he has regained his health and strength sufficiently to enable him to serve the state diligently, faithfully and well.

THE PEOPLE, The Latter Successful on Tbe 59th Ballot Geo. W. Mc Brise the Choice. The people won, Dolph was defeated for U. S. senator on the 59th ballot, and Geo. W. McBride was elected to succeed him just is the clock was striking the hour of mid night last Saturday evening. The result is a nnitei party, aud harmony and "good feel ing pervade the republican ranks once more. At noon Saturday the session of the joint assembly was of unusual interest. At that time eight ballots were taken which resnlttd in reducing Mr. Dolph's strength two votes. At the end' of the eighth ballot the vote stood as follows: Dolph 36, Williams 29, Aare 10, Fulton 3, Lord 2, Waldo 1, Lowell 1, Cogswell 1, Chamberlain 9, Galloway 2, Weatherford 1. On this ballot it was noticed that the antia had augmented their forces until they were neck-snd Deck with the Dolphite, each faction having 33 votes. When the members reassembled in joint session at 7:40 no'oue knew what the out come would be, although it was whispered that the uams of George W. McBride would be announced as a compromise candidate providing neither side could elect by 11:50. On the first ballot of the evening, or the 37th of the session, the Dolph forces were strengthened by two votes, Gowan and Smith of Clackamas, who returned to their first love after voting with the opposition during the afteruoou. Both made speeches indicating their intention to stay by Dolph to the end. On the third ballot Beach, of Multnomah changed to M. C. George, but after the next vote returned to Dolph On tho fifth ballot of the evening Brownell, in an' enthusiastic and well-worded speech, placed C. W. Fulton in nomination, and voted for him. This action created intense enthusiasm as it was Brownell who nomi nated Dolpb, and had ever since boen one of his strongest supporters. Speaker Moores, who had been voting for George H. Wil liams, changed ou the ninth ballot to Tbos. H. Tongue. The anti Dolph men showed a disposition throughout the contest to vote solidly for any good clean republican who was not identified with the Simon cabal, and during the evening gave the Dolph support ers a number of excellent candidates to select from so there might be no roasonable excuse for final adjournment without an election. The antis ld off with 30 votes for Geo. H. Williams, for whom they had been casting their votes for several days. On the second, third, and fourth ballots J . B. Waldo received 29 votes, and for the next ten ballots C. W. Fulton was sup ported, receiving as high as 33 votes. The next man selected was Tbos. H. Tongue, and after five ballots without gains, the antis again changed, this time to Governor Lord,. whom they voted for twice. Dolph's highest vote during the evening was 38, and the lowest 36. Frequent conferences oc curred during the evening between tbe war ring factious which indicated an attempt to unite on a dark horse. At 11:25, after a brief recess, the convention was again called to order. Cleeton, a Dolph supporter from Columbia county, claimed the Soar. He reminded the members that 35 minutes only of the 18th biennial session remained, and a senator had not yetj been elected. Owing to the sturdy character of the opposition he thought the election of Mr. Dolph impossi ble. The antis had declared their intention of supporting any good true republican, and he wished to test the sincerity, ho proposed to place in nomination a native-born Orego nian, Hon. George McBride. Representa tive Barkley seconded the nomination, stat ing that the "gallant thirty" had all the time been ready and willing to unite on any qualified republican who would represent his constituents, and that George W. Mc Bride was such a man. He made an elo quent appeal for harmony in the ranks and a reunited republican party. His remarks brought forth a storm of applause and as soon as President Simon could restore order the 59th and last ballot was begun. Sena tor Alley, whose name was the first on the list, and a leader of tho opposition, voted for McBride. The first Dolphite to come to the McBride column was Calvert of Marion, and he was followed by Calbraith of Yam hill. Senators Hobson aud Patterson and Speaker Moores also swung into line, and at the end of the rollcall McBride had 42 votes, three less than enough to elect. As between Mr. Dolph and Mr. McBride the vote stood as follows: Dolph Bancroft, Beach, Blundell, Brid ges, Cardwell, Carter, Conn, Daly, David, Dawson, Danny, Gesner, Gowan, Long, Maxwell, McCracken, McGinn, McOreer, Moorhead, Myers, Paxton, Price, Smith of Clackamas. Smith of Josephine, Smith of Polk, Steiwer, Temrleton, Thompson, Woodard and Simon 30. McBride Alley.

As President Simon was about to an nounce tno result, jempieton oi Jjinn mounted a desk and stated that he wanted a senator, evidencing such desire by chang ing his vote to McBride. Smith of Polk followed him, and in turn Bridges, the bright young member from Douglas, oast the 45th vote, the last :one neoessary for an election. This was the signal for a tremen dous burst of psnt-np anthusiasm, and for a time pandemonium reigned. When the diu subsided sufficiently Paxton moved to make the vote unanimous, every member, besides the three thousand or more spectators, shouted aye. ilie president then an nounced that unless there were some objec tions, be would instruct the clerk to rcord all republicans as having voted for the new ly elected senator. Three cheers were then proposed for Mo bride, and they were given with a vim that fairly shook the old capitol from dome to foundation. Cries for "McBride" followed and upon motion a committee was instructed to escort the newly eleoted senator to the platform, un entering tne nan ne was given an ovation. On reaching the platform President Simon introduced Mr. McBride as the newly elected United States senator of Oregon. Mr. MoBride seemed some what nervous but spoke clearly and dis tinctly. In his remarks Mr. McBride showed that he thoroughly appreciated tho high and unsought honor which had been conferred upon him and seemed to realize that he had boen especially honored by being chosen from so many honorable men of the state. He had learned that tho choice had been unanimous and promised to l use every ellort to Harmonize tne several factions that we might have a united party and further stated that to tbe best of his ability he would serve the people of Oregon faithfully and honestly. Sbouta for Fultou brought that gentle man to the speaker's desk where for ten minutes he spoke with the most telling effect. He was gretted with tremendous applause, showing in what high esteem he was held by both old and young. He said he had officiated at his own funeral on numerous occasions but at no time had he more thoroughly enjoyed the task than then. He was never happier than in wit nessing the reuniting of republicans in Ore gon and in closing predicted a return of prosperity with the return of republicans to power, which would be the inevitable re sult of the elections in 1893. At the con clusion of Mr. Fulton's remarks three rous ing cheers were givau for "the united re publican party" at the request of Speaker Moores. Hon. Thomas H. Tongue also spoke amid great enthusiasm. He congratulated tbe party upon settling its difficulties so har moniously within its own ranks and pre senting a solid front to the common euemy. Both Fulton and Tongue were given three cheers. These two gsutlemen stand high in the councils of the party and are destined to become its leaders at no distant day. Barkley, the eloquent young orator of Ma riou couuty, was called for and made a moat ever speech in whioh ho expressed the belief th the receut action of ithe conven tion would be ratified by the people through out the state. It was a complete victory for tbe people. and was brought alout by the determined stand of thirty honest, conscientious repre sentatives of the people. The new senator is of tlis people aud his sympathies are uat- rally with them. He is not identified with any ring, clique, or combination. He is a true republican, believing that a return to the republican policy of protection is essen tial to the restoration of prosperity, and that the party has power to solve the economic and financial problems satisfacio- ily and will place our national finances in a healthy condition. The following brief biographical sketch of Senator-eleet McBride is taken from last Sunday's Oregonian: George Washington McBride is a native son of Oregon, having been born in Yamhill oonoty in 1854. He is a son of Dr. James McBride, who was well known as one of the earliest and sturdiest pioneers of this state. Mr. McBride was educated in the common schools and at Willamette university, Sa lem,, and the Christian oollege (now the state normal school) at Monmouth. In 1367 bis parents left Yamhill eounty and located St. Helens, Columbia county, which place he has made hie home ever since. In 1882 he was elected to tbe Oregon house of epresentativea, and was t subsequently chosen-speaker of that body.' In 1886 Mr. ; McBride was nominated by the republicans for secretary of state, and was elected. - His popularity is attested by the' fact that the two principal nominees on the ticket with . him governor and treasurer were defeat ed. Mr. McBride performed the duties of his office so satisfactorily that he was re nominated by acclamation in 1890, and re elected by a handsome majority. He served out the full term and retired the first of the present year to give way to his successor. Mr. McBride comes from an old and very well-known Oregon family. He baa several brothers, who have achieved leading posi tions in the law and in medicine. One brother is Judge T. A. McBride, of the fifthjjodicial district. Another brother ia John R. McBride, formerly congressman from this state, and now; a prominent lawyer of Spokane. A third. Dr. McBride, is a leading physician in'Wisconsin. It was Mr. McBride'o early purpose to become a lawyer, and with that end iu view, after leaving school, he entered the law office of Judge J. C. Morelaud, of this city. He remained three years, but during a great part of that time he suffered much from bad health and did not make the progress be desired. Mr. McBride did not, however, give up his design until his physical condi tion rendered it abtolutelv necessary. Ha then engaged in mercantile pnrsuits in Col umbia county, where he had large property interests. During much of the time he was secretary of state Mr. McBride battled with physical weakness, but his will is strong, and he was able to be almost constantly at his post of duty and personally to adminis ter the manifold duties of his office. It is well known that the office of secretary oi Btate has never been conducted more satis factorily to the people than during Mr. Mc- Bride's two terms. Recently be made a iournev to New York for the purpose so :t was stated at the time of placing himself lu the hands of emiuent physicians, it an pears with very satisfactory results. Mr. McBride is often called an '(Jregon boy." With the exception of two years spent in San Fraacisco, he has always lived in Oregon. Personally be possesses a oharm- ing address, which has doubtless had much to do with his political success. Mr. Mc Bride is not married. Bids Wanted.

John McCaleb, of Summit, Shot and Killed Tuesday Even ing by his Father-In-Law, John McDowell. Summit, Ore., Feb. 27 (Special) John McCaleb was shot and killed by Jas. Mc Dowell, his father-in-law, abont five miles from Summit, in tbe burnt woods couutry, just over the Lincoln county line, last night. Kroin accouuts brought, it stems McDowell had had McCaleb ai rested on charge of assault and battery on his (Mc Caleb's) wife, who is McDowell's daughter. The case was brought before Justice Lackey, of Little Elk precinct, but it seems McDowell went to Derrick's hall, ex pecting the trial to be there, while McCa leb and his witnesses went to the justice's house, and as McDowell did not appear at the house, after waiting a short time, the case was dismissed by the justice, ou no oount of McDowell failing to appear, Mc Dowell returned home ahead of McCalob, who, later, rode up to the eate end de manded hi3 children, who were there. IJo Dowell refused to give them up, upon which, McDowell claims McCaieb started to get off his horse, saying he would have the children or blood. McDowell, at this, fired a load of buckihot, strikiug McCaleb n the sute or the face and necli. MoLa lub s horse plunged and McCaleb fell on his face, and then raised on bis elbow, saying, "You have not killed me yet," on which McDowoll shot him threo times with a re volver, all the bullets striking him ia tho head. Ni one was present except Mc Dowell's family and this is tbeir statement, so far as htard. McDowell gave himself up o a Mr. Lawrence to be taken into custody. MeCsiab lay wbei-e ho ir;is shot until about two o'clock this momma:, when ho was moved into tho house. Tho coroner ar rived ou the morning train aud has gone to the scene. THB BROWSTIBS. The mischievous company little midgets that deHghted a large audience of highly ov.r.rnnio(vo vibiiila a ra Onorn HrtliaA likAT. I Thursday eveuicg appe,r to be as TOHch home on the stajrs as ilii'ir imaginary proto- i types are in tlio ppgas of Palmer Cox's fa- j moiis littls bock. IT.ongh the stpffjd and i distorted littls bodies and w:e grinning faces J only suggest faintly the dninty phantasies of j the creator of the Brownies, they neverthe- ess furnished a greet deal of amusement for tho elder spectators and simply delighted the children. Their queer antics and strauge prrnks and capers kept the audience in a roar. So clever ware they at panto mime that the audience readily understood exactly what was being conoocted by the little rogues, who seemed to take especial delight in doing the most unheard ef things. The football tableau was heartily applauded and elicited an encore. They were adept s at the football business too, and the manner in which they hustled disabled members off of the field provoked much merriment. The music by the orchestra, and the voca selections iby thejO. A. C, quartette and Symphony Glee Club were greatly appre ciated and added muoh to the enjoyment of the evening. ' Miss Mabel Johnson and Prof. Fulton were each, compelled to respocd to an encore, so well were their solos received. Thorough study and a nice conception of her recitation was evinced by Miss Esther Avery. The ladies of the Presbyterian church are to be congratulated apon the splendid sac- cess ot tbis unique entertainment, miss Marie Vandersol, of Salem, is deserving of much praise, as it was under her personal direction that 'lhe Brownies was pro duced. Her recitation, "Jack, the Fisher man," was tho choice bit of the evening. Miss Vandersol evinces that fine, dramatic instinct that evolves proper effects from pure imagination. Great care was eiven the elemental mechanics as accent, emphasis, intonation, inflection and pronunciation, but her great charm,, lies in her graceful delivery and easy stage presence. We will leave very soon. Stock's Cash Store. XJ. B.

No mystery has ever compared with that of human life. It has been the leading subject of professional research and study in all apes. But notwithstanding this fact it is tot gener ally K n o .-. n that the sc.-at . of life is i--iv-tedin ll.e u; perpart .! spinal c u, near the ij of the b r a '. u , and so sti-sl-tive h this portion of tho nervous sys tem thnt bri-n tbe prick of a needle will cause Ins wilt death. Recent discoveries have demonstrated than all the organs of the body are under tbe con trol of tne nervo centers, located in or unip the base of the brain, and that when these are deranged the organs which they suppiy with nerve fluid are also deransted. When It Is re membered that a serious Injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis of the body below the Injured point, because the nerve force U prevented by the Injury from reaching the paralyzed portion, it will be understood how too derangement of the nerve centers will cause tbe derangement of the various organs which they supply with nerve force. Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to the Imperfect action of the nerve centers ab the base of the brain, not from a derange ment primarily originating In the orsan It self. The great mistake of physicians In treating these diseases Is that they treat the orsan rather than the nerve centers which are tho cause of the trouble. Db. Franklin Miles, the celebrated spe cialist,has profoundly studied this subject for over 20 years, and has made many important discoveries lu connection with it, chief among; tlieui being the facta contaiued In the a'oovo statement, and that tbe ordinary methods of treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi ness, dullness, confusion, pressure, biuus, manlii, melancholy. Insanity, epilepsy, bt. Vitas dance, etc . are nervous diseases no ra'uter ho.v caused. The wonderful tuccosscf Or.
