He appears much improved in health, but
is more than ever impressed with Oregon as
being the best state in the Union. May 29

Mr. Louis Rathje, a Chicago banker,
aocompanied by his wife, arrived here last
week, and is a guest at the residence of his
sister, Mrs. H. F. Fischer. Mr. Rathje left
Chicago May 28th, just in time to escape the
torrid wave which passed over the middle
states. He was there, however, during the
recent cold snap and reports that the vege
table, corn aud most other crops were almost
ruined in Illinois by the frost. He is very
much pleased with Corvallis, and notes
many improvements ia and around the town
since his visit here 17 years ago. Mr. and
Mrs. Rathje expect to remain several

Fi ve years ago last Monday evening Mr.
J. M. Nolan aud Miss Kate Thompson were

lived most happily, but during the period
of their married life there has perhaps been
no event that they will look back upon with
greater pleasure than the occasion of their
woodea wedding anniversary, which to their
surprise was duly celebrated last Monday
evening. Friends and neighbors, to the
number ef about thirty, came in on them
that evening most unexpectedly, and for
three hours mirth and jollity held full sway
iu the Nolan, home. With appropriate
wooden tokens, both Mr. Nolan and his
estimable wife were remembered and the
gifts at that time received will be long
cherished in remembrance of the occassion.
It was a social victory, the dancing and

complimented on the taste displayed in the
arrangement of flowers and evergreens about
the hall. Charming corners invited tete a

sweet strains of music transformed the place
into an Elyseum of happiness, wbere light
hearts made light feet and not until after
midnight were the cards shuffled for the last
time and the medley concluded. Several
guests from Albany were preset and alto

DEATH OP MRS. K. R. CLARK.
Death entered the home of H. R. Clark
last Friday evening and took therefrom a
loving wife and mother. For some months
Mrs. Clark had been suffering from the ef
fects of Bright s disease of the kidneys, but
until her return from a visit in the country
about one week previous to her demise, did
her disease become serious. The funeral
occurred from the Episcopal church Sunday
afternoon, Dr. G. F. Plummer officiating,
sud was a most impressive service. The
interment occurred at the Crystal Lake
cemetery under the auspices of the E isteru
Star lodge, of which order the deceased had
been an active member for many years.
Mrs. Clark was a native of Michigan and at
the time of her death was aged 45 years,
1 month and 11 days. Dec. 31, 1873, she
aud Mr. H. R. Clark were married. Mov-
ng to Oregon nine years later, they located
iu Eugene, where they remained nntil tak
ing up their residence in Corvallis where
Mr. Clark has since been employed in the
su periu tendency of the printing department
of the O. A. ft By her death the Episcopal
church, of which denomination she was a
member since 13 years of age, lost an earn
est and untiring werkei, and the communi
ty an esteemed lady who has contributed
much to the happiness of those with whom
she came ia contact.
Mesdames Nolan, Kline, Alexander, Mil
ler, Callahan, and Helm, and Misses Turney
and Bergin, the Special committee of ladies
appointed to assist in the coming celebra
tion, are requested to meet this (Thursday)
afternoon at 3 o'clock in the firemen's hall.

-TUURSUATS SHOOTING.
Max Friendly Shoots John Long'
and Attempts Suicide by
Drowning:. Thursday morning last, Corvallis was
thrown into a fever of excitement over the
I reported shootiDg of John Long, by Max
Friendly. An investigation of the report
proved it to be true. During Thursday
afternoon, Long made a statement in which
Friendly is alleged to have called at the
mill, requesting a quiet conversation with
Long regarding business matters. " Together
they went out and sat on a lumber pile in
front of the mill, and after having conversed
for some little time, ia a quiet manner,
Friendly, without warniug, jumped up and
fired a shot from a 33-caliber revolver' at
Long, the shot euteriog the left cheek,
ranging downward and lodging in the rigb t
jaw. Although his right arm was broken,
Long grabbed the revolver with his left
hand, and, after a short struggle, succeeded
in wrenching out the cylinder, containing
four loaded catridges. Not realizing that
the cylinder had been removed,- Friendly
pointed the weapon at his own head and
pulled the trigger three times.. Finally
realizing that he was thwarted in his pur
pose of shooting himself, he ran to the river
and jumped in, and when taken from the
water was nearly drowned. A warrant for
his arrest was immediately issued by Justice
Holgate, and before a halt hour had elapsed
the would-be murderer and suicide was
lauded in jiil. The following day be was
arraigned on a charge of assult with intent
to kill. He waived examination and was
bound over ia the sum of $1,000, which was
promptly furnished.
Immediately after the shooting, Long was
conveyed to his home and medical attend
ance summoned. For a time it was feared
that his injuries, together with his other
ailments from which he was suffering, might
prove fatal, but he is now resting easy, and
unless soma complications arise which are
not looked for, the patient will soon be
about as nsual. " "
Tho trouble is said to have grown out of
a feud of long standing. Nearly two years
ago Friendly assigned with liabilities aggre
gating in the neighborhood of $30,000, aud
was supposed at that time to be worth at
least double the amount of his indebtedness.'
Recently the estate was settled np, the cred
itors receiving nearly the face value on their
claims. Friendly, however, was left with
nothing, and as the assignment was precipi
tated by attachment proceedings instituted
by Ling, Friendly has blamed Long for his
troubles, as he considered his action in
bringing snit as unwarranted and unneces
sary. J bare was considerable trouble
among the creditors and between them and
Friendly iu the settling up of the estate
and this trouble, together with the knowl
edge that he had lost everything, has un
doubtedly unbalanced his mind. For a year
past he haa brooded over his affairs and it ia
the general opinion that his rash act was
committed while nnder a temporary men
tal derangement.
Both families of the participants are of
the highest respectability and -have bean ac
corded the sincere eympathy of the com-
inanity.
ADDENDA.
Contrary to the usual rule, sympathy in
this matter seems to be pretty generally iu
favor of Friendly. ' Most people, while
they do not uphold Friendly in his violation
of the law, believe that he was aggravated
beyond measure, and was so wrought upon
by the supposed wrongs that had been
done him, that he lost his reason.
It is asserted by many that . there was a
preconcerted plan between Oren and Long
to defraud Friendly out of the property
and obtain control of the mill themselves.
They say that these men were but small
creditors of Friendly, but by taking un
due advantage of circumstances, and opera
ting upou the fears of other creditors, they
so managed as to clean xriendly out ot
everything and they at last obtained con
trol of the coveted prize. . However bit
ter Long and Oren are against Friendly,
they are not auxious to have him "shuffle off
this mortal coil." Mrs. Friendly sever as
signed her dower interest in her husband's
property and on his death she will come in
for a life interest in one third of the estate.
To this fast is doubtless due the alacrity
with which Oren dispatched a man to the
rescue of Friendly after picking np Long,
ou the day of the shooting.
Many people are saying this is not the
only shooting scrape that has occurred
lately iu the vicinity of the mill. They
also say that the injury to John ' Long's arm
was not the result of an accident. It seems
that some weeks ago one Brown, a tin horn
gambler and all aronnd confidence man, wbo
was living near the mill with a woman be
called bis wife, suddenly disappeared, leav
ing the woman behind. - Several revolver
shots were heard by persons in the vicinity
of his house the evening prior to his depar
ture, and since that time Long has com
plained of a mill accident or rheumatism.
As Brown was leaving the city, he remarked
that John Long as sending him to Port
land. The price which Brown is said to
have received from Long 'for rid
ding Corvallis of hia presence is
$400. It is also reported that the
money passed iu the " transaction belonged
to Long's wife, and farther, that the wound
in his arm and not the one inflicted by
Friendly, is the one from which Long is
suffering most, and is causing some fears for
his recovery. :
A lady who has rooms to let, states that
Long engaged a room from her, paying the
rental on same for a week, bat that it was
occupied only one night daring the time.
Next morning there were several hairpins
on the bureaa and there were also other
evidences that a female occupant bad spent
the night there, and not alone. It is these
things that have caused the public to have so
little sympathy for the victim of Friendly's
bullet. Long has a most estimable family
and their acquaintances generally regret
their accumulation of sorrow.
t Justioe Holgate had to hold a preliminary
examination without a complaining witness
and without a prosecutiug attorney. None
of the attorneys of the city would appear
for the state aad none of Long's friends
showed, enough interest to even make.
complaint. In fact, : the defense ' were the
only ones that made any showing at the
preliminary hearing aside from such wit
nesses for the state as the ; justice was able
to' find. - The physicians testified that Long
was in no danger and Frieudly was bound
over in the sum of $1,000. '. One or two of
Long's personal friends are kicking about
the amount of the boud, charging that it
was too low,, but the general opinion seems
to be that that amount will insure Friend

as large, and a. justice must not, under the
law, exact a bond more than sufficient for
the purpose.
Levi Oren endeavored to keep up the ex
citement of the occasion by driving np and
down Main street, swearing about Justice
Holgate at the tup of his voice, calling him
all the vile names at his commaud and
trying to incite a mob to take the squire
out that night and give him a coating ef
tar and feathers. More disgraceful, disor
dcrly and criminal actions have never before
occurred upon the streets of Corvallis.
Oren's performance only aroused indigna
tion against himself. ! Justice Holgate
stopped Oren in the middle of his boister
ous, incitiug speech in frout of Hodes &
Hall's and informed him that he was lay
ing himself open to serious criminal charges
The squire said he was not running his of
fice to command the admiration of such
men as Oren, aad didn't care for his opin
ion, but to save the state Che expense of
another inmate of the asylnm or peniten
tiary, he ordered Oren to shut np and drive
on about his busiuess, which Oren reluc
tantly, but speedily proceeded to do. The
only censure that Justice Holgate received
regarding the whole matter is that he did
Dot prosecute Oren on about nine eounte, as
follows: inciting a not, disorderly con.
duct, criminal threats, abuiive language,
obscene language ia the pretence of ladis
indecent language on the public thorough
fares, fast driving, slander and contempt of
court. Oren said that if he could get ten
men, tried and true, he would head the
gang to tar and feather the justice. Oren
is a heavy weight, tipping the scales at
about 220 pounds, while Mr. Holgate's
fighting weight would not be over 140. A
bystander was heard to remark that if
Oren's war fighting wai in that proportion'
Uncle Sam got very poor service for the
pension he is new paying Oren.
MEETS AT NEWPORT.
Messrs. Campbell, White, Mathies, To
zier and "Naaby" Johnson, .the executive
committee of the Oregon Press Association,
spent 8unday at Newport; making arrange-'
menta for the annual meeting of that or.
ganization. They were met by the mayor,
oity council and business men of Newport,
who accorded the committee every courtesy
and assured its members that the citizens
were already taking active steps looking to
the entertainment of the Aasociation. A
clam bake is already assured, aud aside
from a single commodity the product of
Old Kentucky, a vast quantity of which
ill be provided especially for the occasion
there is perhaps nothing that the aver
age editor more - thoroughly enjoys than
clams. Ia addition to the clam bake there
will be excursions acrnsa the? bar, to Seal
Rocks, Cape Foulweather light, and other
points of interest. After due consideration
of the matter, the executive committee
set the date for the meeting for Saturday,
July 20. This will enable many of the
members to spend Sunday on the beach with
their sweethearta and wives, should they
so desire.. It is expected that the Associa
tion will not get settled down to business
before Monday night and that it will con
tinue in session two - or three' days. Indi
cations are favorable that the meeting at
Newport will be the largest atteuded since
the Association was organized. There cer
tainly could not have been a more favorable
point selected for the holding of the meet- (
iog than the place chosen and to this fact
is probably dne the flattering assurances for
an unusual large attendance.

SECOND EMBARRASSMENT.
The Coast Carriage & Wagon
Company Assigns With
Assets Nearly $8d,
ooo, Liabilities
About $29,000.
For a second tima the plant aud other
property of the Coist Carriage aud Wagon
Company are in the hands of an assignee.
The deed of asigmnaut was filed early
Friday morning ; by the company's attor
neys, Messrs, Bryson, . Yates & Yates,
since which time operations of the concern
have ceased.
Among those at all familiar with the af
fairs ot tho company the assignment was
not a matter of surprise. . At the time of
the suicide of the late William .Uhlman, it
was whispered that the company . was in
need of cash with which to meet current
demads, and that the worry over financial
affairs of the . corporation in which Mr.
Uhlman was a -large stockholder was un
doubtedly the cause of his rash act. Imme
diately prior to his death a deal was partially
consummated whereby the company was
to secure a large loan, that would have en
abled it to tide over the present trouble
without difficulty or loss, but unfortunately
the deal fell through, and, unable to secure
an extension of time on bills falling due, an
assignment was made to avoid threatened
attachment proceedings.
The business was originally organized
during the summer of 1891 with a capital
of $50,000 subscribed by local stockholders.
Two years ago on June 4th, it passed into
the hands of an assignee, where it re
mained until the following March, when it
was sold to C. T. Brace as trnstee for a
syndicate of creditors. Under his manage
ment the oonoern remained nntil last fall,
when the present management assumed
control. Since then the present proprie
tors have added to the already complete
plant thvsiecessary machinery for the man
ufacture of farm wagons. By this increase
to the plant a considerable
outlay was necessary, and up to the time of
closing, no retnrns from this branch of
the business had been received, as the wag
ons were not yet ready to place on the mar
ket. However, prospects were favorable
for the building up of a large trade in this
line, which, it was expected by fait, would
yield paying returns on the investment. -
The failure of the conoarn is no evidence
t'lat the busiuess was either mismanaged or
fiat it is not a paying industry. The em
barrassment was dne wholly to lack of cash
with which to carry on the business. Whan
the plant was purchased last fall for about
$35,000, its real value was estimated at
$65,000. At this latter amouat the new
company fixed its capital stock and took the
plant from the purchasers, all of whom be
came stockholders in the new company.
The purchase included some $11,000 of ac
counts created nnder the Brace manage
ment upon which Col. Burgh claims the
purchasers were assured of being able to
speedily realize at least $10,000 in cash.
Aftar assuming control of the business,
however, these accounts were found to be
largely mythical, as they represented
amounts due on consignment and not on
actual sales. Coniequeutly, only a very
small portion of the $11,000 was converta-
ble into cash; thus reducing their working
capital about $10,000 from the original es
timate. Col. Burgh states that another
matter entering into the company's embar
rassment, was its inability to perfect such
fayorable banking arrangements as the pur
chasers were assured of being able te make.
He claims that they were given to under
stand that a credit of from $15,000 to $20,
000 eould be arranged with a certain bank
in Portland shonld the same be found nec
essary to the carrying on of,.the business.
When too late, however, it was learned
that this credit existed only in contempla
tion of mind, and that no financial aid from
that quarter could be obtained.
At the time of closing there were 600
wagons on hind in various stages of com
pletion. These, when completed, would be
wjrth $30 each. So tht in this one item
there is a value represented far in excess of
all liabilities, and there was every indica
tion that they would meet with ready sale.
The appointment of Mr. M. M. Davis as
assignee was a most . fortunate one. He is
an experieno ed and practical business man
and will manage the affairs of the company
for the best interests of all concerned. The
stockholders of the company are of the
opioion that the plant should continue in
operation for a time, at least, in order that
tiie work now in various stages of construe
tioa may bo completed. This, when placed
oa the market, would soon furnish ade
quate returns to meet all outstanding obli.
gations. Of course, the matter of selling
for cash might interfere somewhat in the
disposal of the output, but at present there
is a strong demand for their work, and it
is likely that no serious difficulty will be en
countered in making large sales. The as
signee is yet engaged in completing the in
ventory and nntil it is finished, it will be

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reacji
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional' remedies.- Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous "lining of the Eustachian Tube. When,
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumblinsj
sound or imperfect hearing,' and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless tho inflammation can be takeu out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-r
tion, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine
eases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
: We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure,
