Miss Lola Wilkins has been confined to
her room most of the time since last
Friday on account of injuries sustained
by being thrown from a horse. At the
time the accident happened she was . riding
along the road near the college farm, when
the horse suddenly jumped to one side,
throwing its rider violently to the ground.
Iu falling, sho struck the ground face down
ward, receiving several painful bruises
about her body and numerous abrasions of
the skin on her face and hands. Furtu
nately, none of the iujnries were of a ser
ious nature, although very painful, and (he
patient is now so much improved as to be
around again.
Last Saturday niht Stock's cash store
-was permanently closed. During the even
ing the two or three hundred persons, who
had crowded into the building to attend the
firm's last auction sale, were entertained at
intervals by several well-renderel selections
by the Marine band. Ia closing the auction,
Auctioneer Isador Jacobs indulged in a few
flights of oratory, and in behalf of the retir
ing firm bade everybody a long farewell.
The work of packing began Sunday. The
first shipment of goods to S-tleni was made
by boat Monday and the remainder will be
shipped this weak. Eddie Steck accompan
ied the first shipment and is now in Salem.
Ha will be joined by Sol M., Saturday, and
until the entire stock is disposed of they
will both remain in Salem iu charge of the
business. Their business concern during the
past 16 years has in the main been a suc
cessful one.
Tuesday eveuing a matrimon ially-inclined
young mau, hailing from the headwaters
of Shotpouch, called on Treasurer Clark, to
nthom.be explained that he was in quest of
a marriage license. Of course, this was out
of Mr. Clark's line and he referred the
young man to Clerk Hunter. But that of.
ficial was unable to issue the necessary doc
ument that would make possible the pro
posed union of two fond hearts, as the con
tracting parties were residents of Lincoln
county and therefore out of the jurisdiction
of the clerk of Benton. Nothing dauuted,
howevor, the youth departed bright and
early Tuesday morning for Toledo, where he
was entirely successful. AU this annovance
is the result of county division and it is al
together likely that the young Shotpoucher
would have made mince meat of Tom
Jeffreys had he met the latter after having
been refused a license by the clerk of old
Benton.
The Louisville Courier Journal of the
11th inst. says: "There cannot be said too
much in praise of Wilson Barrett and his
new play, "The Sign of the Cross," nor yet
of his excellently well balanced company.
It is oue of the most powerful and in
teusely interesting plays that Louisville
theatre goers have seen iu years. The
lessons it teaches Is so pure and is treated
in such a 'manner that even the most narrow
and bigoted minister of the gospel, who
rails against the stage, will ba improved by
seeing it. It contains many texts for many
excellent sermons." Speaking of the work
of Miss Maud Hoffman in the role of "Ber
nice," the same paper says: ''She is i
clever and accomplished actress, who has i
clever future before her, and whose work
last night was as perfect as if she had been
living her own life, instead of speaking the
words and acting the part of a creature of
another mind." '
Fifteen years ago a young man entered

A VERDICT FQR PLAINTIFF.
The usualjrjuietude that has gervaded' the
hallowed precincts of Justice " . Holgate s
court- room daring the past month, was
disturbed last Monday afternoon by a full
fledged jury trial. The case was one
brought by James Petty against " Junk"
Mitthews. From the evidence it seems
that Petty and wife were giveu employ
ment by " Joak," but at the time they be
can work no contract was eutsrcd into as
. wnat remuneration they were to receive.
Afi-o-,l- month t lfiv inandtilt a
settiemeut .a Matthews, it was thought.
took aJvanU-a ot the;r needy condition by
- (? - , - , - fil 1 t..;,,: lr.,k ...n them
one aoUar aad refused to pay more. This
pBt -a w.mll nnt nncent. claim-
that their services were each worth at
j8gt 15 per month- HoWeer, they agreed
to gettje for c2lJ but junV' would pay
no more than the amount originally ten
dered. Petty then brought suit to recover
$29, the amount he claimed was dud aud
owing. After examing several witnesses in
behalf of both parties to the suit, the jury
retired and soon returned a verdict iu favor
of Petty for 21.50, the same beiu 1.50
more than he had agreed to settle for. In
addition to this, Matthews wag out the costs
of the action, which amounted to about G0.
The next day he settlid the matter np and
returned home a sadder, but much wiser
man. The plaintiff was- ably represented
by Attorney K. E. Wilson, while "Junk's"
side of the case was carefully guarded by
A. L. McFadden. i

TnilllATOR'S MESSAGE.
Attention is CalletTto: the Re
puted Diseased Mofaf Cdn'-f ?
- dition of our City.
To the honorable city council of ' the city
of Corvallis:
Gestlemen': By section 40, of chapter
VI, of the city charter, it ii made my duty
to in iko such speci tl communications to the
council ps may bs proper ami useful, and
pursuant thereto, it sec-ins expedient to call
your attention to certain matters uffecting
the morals of the city. '
It has been currently asserted for weeks
last past by many reputable citizens of Cor
vallis, that there exists within this oily
very diseased condition of morals that has
reached the putrid stage; that- disgraceful
and licentious exhibitions, in which the
daughters of Africa largely conduced, have
attracted sufficient genural attention within
a month past as to become curreut street
talk and provoke' editorial comment from
ottr city papers; that gaming and gambling
are being carried on iu direct violation of
law anil cur streets aud sidewalks at times
are crowded with a class of gamblers, largely
importations, who maintain a precaiious
existancs by filching it from the unsus
pecting at the gambling talde and otherwise;
that the laws ot the city are being violated
in the selling aud disposing of spiritons and
milt liquors in open houses ou Sunday; that
the general moral tone of the city is lower
than at any other period within several
years last past. Very conservative citizens
make such statements which I have speci
fied and others of like nature; and it would
seem that the sources from which the state
ments eirtiuate should merit aud challenge
your attention.
Iain aware that niuiy citizens are chronic
fault finders still, the source from w hich
these statements so persistently com?, con
vince me that the shame aud ignomy to
which our city is being suhjectcd must have
some real foundation in fact, that impera
tively deminds your attention. I am aware
that a very large petitiou from your fellow
citizens of the city was presented for your
consideration within the past year asking
that certain of tha laws in conjunction
with the saloons be enforced under both
the letter and the spirit of the law gov
erning tho same; but that a majority of-the
council deemed it best that the enforcing of
the Sunday laws at least be relegated to
the state of Oregon.
It would seem that we owe it as duty' to
the city and its laws that the same should
either be enforced or annulled. If it is
necessary to have laws, nq consistent couise
seems to be in order, except to enforce
them. As you are well aware, our city is
an educational center, in which is located
one r.f the leading educational institutions
of the state, aud we year by year are invit
ing the young men and women'of the state
to the advantages of this institution which
should warrant the city authorities to con
duce to the degree of moral staudard within
the city limits and to that eud repress the
demoralizing factors which' are claimed to
exist here at the present time.
It would perhaps not be amiss to call
your attention to the fact that the two mill
tax which you deemed advisable to levy,
Stands in lieu of the old road tax under the
state law as it existed-prior to the amend
ment to the charter this tax, which has
been levied for two years is for the specific
purpose of street work and improvements
within tha city; I would recommend that
these street improvements' be confined to
the two mill levy aud that there should be
no warrants drawn on the general fund for
street work. Over $400 properly charge
able to the stroet fund h-s already been
drawn at this time. We are at this1 time
oonfronted with a general' indebtedness in
excess of $14,000, so that every cent of the
general fund is demanded- to maintain our
credit in the payment of interest, etc.
Your recent action in providing that at
least 50 per ent. of all the taxes and li
censes should be paid in cashv will conduce
largely toward providing a fund to liquidate
accruing interest and the payment of the
city's liabilities growing out of the build
ing of the oity hall..
Respectfully submitted,
W. S. McFadden,
Mayor.
Poor Ind'eedi
The prospect of relief from drastic cathar
tics for persons troubled with constipation is
poor indeed. True they act upon the bowels,
but this they do with violence, and their
operation tends to weaken the intestines,
and is Dreiudicial to tho stomach. Hostet-
