The silver cord that bound Otto "Wells to an earthly existence has been loosened, and about the base of the fountain lie the shat tered remains of another golden bowl. Saturday evening, one week ago, he was taken to his bed with what was supposed to be a malarial attack, but which later devel oped into an accute - affection of the brain. Sunday evening he became worse and Monday it was given out that ho was dangerously ill. From the time the delirium came over him on Tuesday until hi death at 16 minutes past ten o'clock last Sunday night, he never regained full consciousness, and his death doubtlessly camo to bim painlessly. For soma time he has been ail ing, but he himself thought it no worse than ordinary malarial fever. Being a pharma cist, he had taken the common remedies for that trouble, but these did not serve to build up his constitution. Confinement in his store and devotion to his business had de prived him of much of his physical strength, leaving him an easy prey to disease. . C. Otto Wells was bonv in Corvallis on the sixth day of January, 1870, and at the time of his death was, therefore, 25 years and four months old. ; "With the exception of a few years, he has lived in the place of his birth and grown to manhood among those who knew him as a child. He attended school at the old Corvallis college for some time, and then took a course in tho Port land V Business College, graduating from that institution in 1887. -Returning home he again resumed his studies in the rollege, and graduated from the Agricultural Col lege in June, 1890, with the degree of Bach elor of Science. I ' ; , -: During his course in tho college, he mani fested much interest in the study of chemis try, and was made assistant to Dr. P. H. Irish, of that department. Infatuated with tho subject,' he determined on becoming a pharmacist, and, accordingly, in the year 1891 hti went to New York City to study. After spending two years ' there, he gradu ated in April, 1893, from the College of Pharmacy, of the City of New York, and returned home to Corvallis. In Septem oer, 1893, - he became a full partner with T. Graham, under the firm name of Graham & Wells. With him he brought the latest and most improved methods, aud as a result of hie ideas, the business has increased aud they were enjoying an excellent trade. ' B hind the counter he was always pleismt, affable, aud anxious to serve. His putrous might well rest asmresl that whatever representa tions he made to tuein, could be implicitly relied upon. In. the compounding of pre scriptions he was most careful . and pains taking that no mistakes should occur at his bauds. . His entire work iu school and iu business was characterized by hi thorough nei-s. He was a member of tho Agassiz club of the college, and a prominent member of, the alumni. Although not a member of any church organization, he was a constant at tendant aud supporter of the Presbyterian church, aud a believer iu . the religion of Jesus Christ. By his death his parents have lost a devo ted son, iu whom they miht well feel proud; host of friends have lost a true companion, aud the state a reputable and valuable .citi zen, whose influence, had his life been spared, must have bseu felt. f - ,f Of a retiring manner, he never forced himself forward; bis sterling qualities were sufficient to attract attention aud gain for him the alliance of others. His was a soul of honor. To all classes alike he conducted himself with equal courtesy, and gained from them an uui7ersal respect. He is beyond the reach of hunan praise and hum in censure. . His memory still lives to comfort the sorrowing ones, and his char acter may well be emulated by those who, when their "summons eomes to join the in numerable caravan," would leave behind noue but words of praise. He has reared a monumeut to his memory, with a basa of integrity on which there rests a shaft of kindness, bearing this inscription: "His life was gentle; and the elements ''So mixod in- him, that Nature might stand up, "And say to all the world, this was s man !" ' AXSBA JOTTINGS. ' Clarence Vidito split his big -toe Tuesday with an axe. It is getting along nicely and he is able to be around. A. R. Young was arrested on a charge of forgery, but as the evidence was insufficient to convict, he was released. Miss Durkee, , of the Summit, passed through our valley on her way to Lobster to teach school one day last week. : We hear that James F. Hammers! y, of Lake Creek, Lans county, but formerly of' Alsea, has been committed to - tho insane asylum. - A. M. Peek, of Lobster, committed to the asylum from this county abont three or four months ago, is at home and appears to be well. - : ... ' ' J . - Two sons of Sacry, the merchant, have arrived' in Alsea.- They are nice-looking young men and wo hope they will be. -pleased with the valley. -- - Sheep shearing is in full blast now aud there teems to be a'snarp demand for .wool. Free tradars are raising tho yell that free trade is bringing wool -up in price. Yes, free trade has brought .wool, up from 20 cants three years ago to 10 cents at present. Hiqh time to shout, isn't it? , We hear' that Mr. Kimble, a son-in-law of Mr. Wilson, is thinking of purchasing the Alsea flouring milL If there is any one thing Alsea is in need of more than any thing else, it is a good mill. At pres. ent at least 80 per cent, of the flour con sumed in Alsea is hauled .from the Willam ette valley. Tons Vidito and Ed Taylor gave a pnblic exhibition of their bravery and gentlemanly qualities last Snnday on Lobster. They attacked Uncle Abe Peek and Marian and Martha Peek, in the presence of half a dozsn other ladies.' , They called Mrs. Peek many vile names and made use of much profane and abusive language. : Boys, sec tion 1,806, Hill's code, provides: "If any person shall be guilty of disorderly conduot or of using obscene' language before ladies he shall, on conviction thereof, be fined in any sum not lass than five nor more than twenty-five dollars." A hint to the wise is sufficient. ... - Geo. Mossback.. APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE. Plan to Procure a Testimonial for the Battleship "Oregon." The undersigned, the committee appointed by the governor of the state, to devise ways and means of presenting to the battleship Oregon a suitable testimonial as a memento from our state and people, beg leave to call the attentiou of our patriotic citizens to the fact that the general government of the United States has honored our state by giv ing its name to one of its newest and best armored vessels. And as we are the recipi ents of this honor, we should, iu s me suit able manner, manifest our appreciation of it and demonstrate, by our action, our thuuk fuluess that in a navy so small as our owu our state has been selected bv the powers that eoutrol to receive so signs! ami so great an honor, that tt battleship of the most modem design and greatest effectiveness that American skill has thus far been able to conceive, and wherein the highest, type of American workmanship and scientific effort culmiuates, should bear the naino of the matchless vales and mountains, which, to us, mean Oregon, aud that the name so de ir to us shall be carried by this battleship to the far away shores of the stranger, in all climes and seas, and become the mailed patrol of liberty, bearing our fl.ig, that it may be honored iu every land. It is a time honored custom that whoever shall be honored iu giving his name to a ves sel in the merchant marine, should make some fitting present to the ship, captaiu Mid crew of the vessel that bears his name, and will carry it through her every Bc.ae of labor and success. How much moro, then, should this custom be complied with, wheu a state is honored as our own has been, in the nam iiig of this battleship? The upbuilding of tha new navy of the United States is the keynote of a higher power nud civilization than we have ever reached in the competition of nations. New ships of a design approved by the naval powers of the world are being called into existence, officered and manned, and plaeed in commission r fur the maintenance of la and right, so that a policy of peace miy be maintained with all the world, without en tanglements, or loss of national honor; and without the thought of conquest or terri torial "ngraudizement, .demonstrating that a nation, a republic of over 60, 00t)000 of human beings, can live and be prosperous, without infringing the laws of a weaker nation, and by being firm aud true to its con stitutional rights aud fundamental doctrines, exhibit to all mankind that we would .be just we must be strong. Had the navy of the United States been in the same efficiency and . power as it is today, the Chili episode would have been impossible, and were the naval power of our. nation at the standard it should be, and which it must" reach in the near future, the occupation of an important city of a friendly nation on our own continent would never hive been permitted. The Story of the nations of the earth j reach but . one conclusion, no -matter how good and . excellent the laws may be, or bow well they may" be administered, if the power to enforce them be lacking. The laws ef nations m ty be equitable, but the pewer to euforca them, so far as our own land is concerned, must lay within our navy, or the nation must be dishonored. It can not be otherwise. The receut conflict between China and Japan is simply the story of a modern navy, well organized.and effectively carrying oat the orders of its government againit a uavj, without a proper orguiizition aud a central izsd power of control. . The lesson to our selves, the citizens of ths United States, is the necessity for continued watchfulness ou our institutions, a vigilance as to our growth and prosperity and efficient ' organization of Naval Power, and to admonish ns to build up ourselves aud those who are to follow after us, in every way possible, with that patriotism and love of our country that has always beeu the guiding star of our people. Therefore, to this end, let every citizen of our state see to it that the honor bestowed upon us as a state, by the general govern -meut, shall be returned by presenting to the offiotrs aud crew of the battieship "Ore gon" a suitable memento, a fitting memorial, ' that wherever the ship shall sail, this'memo rial shall form with her a part, a token that the hopes aud faith of our people are ever with her. The committee having; this matter in charge estimate the cost of such memorial at $ 10,000, the same to be raised in the 32 counties of the state, by subscription,- from incorporated cities and towns, from the various county organizations within the state, from the school children of every dis trict and every parish. . The lesson of patriotism could not be better instilled iu the mind of the child, or citizen-, than that each and every one within our borders shall have a patriotic, personal and financial inter est in this ship . "So stripes might stream, and stars might soar, The glories of thy chosen name.'' This memorial should be completed and ready for presentation about November 15, 1893, and it Js of importance that all mayors of cities and incorporated towns, officers of chambers of commerce, 'officers of county organizations, and superintendents of schools iu every district and parish, should place themselves in communication with the com mittee, or its chairman, so that this work be at once prosecuted conscientiously and successfully.

How Bob hived the bees, has been the topic for the past week. Some one sug gested that the affair be rendered on the stage as a comedy, but the star actor, which would necessarily have to be Bob, demurs on the ground that he doesn't think that he will ever again be equal to the occasion. Besides he thinks it would be better as a tragedy. . Quite a large number of students attended the Philomath College ercises on Thursday evening. All sorts of vehi cles being used for transportation, and not to cast any slur on the horses,-' they were of all kinds too; from-the" "bony" to the "bonnie" hotse. One young man thought his nag would have been all right had it been a little more Lew i s in his joints. The alumni association of. the college regrets the loss of one of its most highly esteemed members, Mr. C. O. .Wells, whose death occurred here last Saturday evening. He graduated from our insti tution iu '90, being the valedictorian of his class; 'and in '92, from the New York College of Pharmacy, front which college he also acquitted himself with honors Last Sunday evening, one looking westward from Cauthorn hall would have beheld three weary travelers slowly mak ing their way to a place of shelter.- As they came closer they could be recognized as our friends, Capt Chandler and Ser geants Caples and Owsley.- They were returning frorn a trip to the peak. While this is a little early to go out to see Mary, yet these three sturdy soldiers resolved to go, and accordingly set out last Friday just after dinner at Cauthorn hall (an awful load to start with ) , To give an , account of their wanderings would take too long, suffice to say, they got there got wet got cold got tiredgot lots of fun in fact, got most every -thing, but what they went for. Captain says they surrounded the peak, charged its ramparts and took possession, and now any one wishing to climb that lofty hill has his permission to go. High & Low. THE EIECTION. The city election on last Monday, was probably the most bitterly contested cf any in th history of the city.- The great fight was between Taylor and Spencer, for chief of police; although the police judge ana councilmen contest occupied a large share of public attention . It was evident early in the morning that Hays would not get the votes ha expected and would cut but a small figure in the tight. Kyle had drawn out on Sunday, and he recoived.bni one vote. It was evident that the A.; P.. A's and anti-A. P. A s, thetaleons and the churches, were consolidating their respective forces, ou either Hodes or Po er for police judge, and Holgate gave up the fight beforo noon. Barber, whose name was not ou the ticket, received 50 votes for mayor. It is understood these were A. P. A. votes. There was little disturbance at the polls. Two funeral services prsvented some from voting, although a very large vote was polled.

Mr. Uhlraan was last seen alive about eleveu o'clock Tuesday morning when be was conversing with Mr. Burgh in the fac tory office. He seemed to be somewhat 11 1 vj " 1. " 4. i 11 uuwe.l but did not appear to be laboring under any excitement, nor did anything in his actious arouse the slightest suspicion thit he was coiitemplatinu; ending his life. About II a. m. he remarked that he must fix the watchman's clock in tho npper story and left the office. Only the men employed on the first aud second doors Were at work Tuesday and soma of these about 11:30 wished to seo Mr. Uhlmao, but not finding him, concluded he had gone to the Fiiendly mill for lumber. : He was nut at home for dinner and his family bejran iiinniiiujr for him. About 2:30 Mr. J. M. Cheney, one of the hands, went up to the fourth floor aud lDoksd at the clock in the west loom. On his return he discovered the body of Mr. Uhlinan, face downward, prone on the floor. A cord was wrapped, twice around his neck and tied to a stop-cock that was about four feet from the floor, holding his head and shoulders a few feet fronj the fluor, He was deal, aud Mr. Cheney hur ried to the office to inform Mr. Burgh. Dr. Wilson aud Actmc; Coroner Holgate were immediately notified and went to the scene. Dr. Wilson arrived first and cut the body down. THE INQUEST. Coroner Holgate and Sheriff Osbnrn ar rived about 3 o'clock. A coroner's jury was immediately summoned from men at hand aud J. M. Cheney was called as the first witness. His evidence was as follows: "The body h that of Wm. Uhlinan; last saw him alive about 11a. in. I discovered his body about 2:30, lying face downward with this cord around his neck and 'ied to the stop-cock. He WjS dead, and I noti tied Mr. Burgh at once." . - I. D. Bur;h, book-keeper of the carriage factory, testified as follows: "S iw Mr. Uhlman alive last about 11 a. in. He was a man easily worried and wor ried considerable over business affairs. A little '-business controversy yeiterday ex cited him somewhat although it really amounted to nothing. Before his family arrived two weeks ago he seemed ta he get ting melaocholy. We thought it home sickness, but had a doctor visit him. Since the arrival of L5s family he has (generally ap peared cheerfal, I know no reason for his committing suicide." . 4 Dr. Robert Wilson testified, "Cams np j with Mr. Burgh this afternoon and found : the body as described by Mr. Cheney. I I out him down. Kegor mortis had set in. I would say he had been dead over three hoars. Death was nudoubtedly caused by strangulation." THE VERDICT. Ths jury returned the following verdict: "We, the jury summoned by H. L. Hol gate, acting coroner of Beuton county, Ore., to act as coroner's jury on the body of Wm. Uhlman found dead in the carriage factory in Corvallis, OregoD, find that the deceased, Wm. Uhlman, cams to his death by stran gulation at bis own hands. F. J. Oberer,' Foreman. A. E.
