At a meeting of the Benton County Republican Club held last Friday eve ning the following persons were elected delegates to the state convention of republican clubs, which met in Portland Tuesday: W. E. Yates, W. S. Hufford, G. A Waggoner, S. G McFadden, Sher man Wade, Thomas Samuels, W. H. Currin, Columbia Read, A. W. Bowersox, Wm. Bogue, and Geo. XV. Denman. . "American Born" is a new and popu lar drama; a' play of wit and war, pith and patriotism; five acts without a lag. The Independence Amateur Dramatic Club is made up of representative people of that city. The names of Miss Cora Snell, Hon. W. ' P. Cohnoway, W. H. Patterson, J. B. Morin, H. Hoster, Frank Burch and L.. A. Bailey, thoroughly trained and assisted by the popular actor Mr. Frank Readick, are a sufficient guar antee of an excellent performance. Dr. R. S. Shakelford, the erstwhile veterinary surgeon, who several years ago made Corvallis his headquarters, is again doing time in the penitentiary. He was taken to Salem last Friday from Clackamas county to serve two years for the larceny of a gold watch. The Salem Statesman says of hitn: . "This -is old "Doc's" second or third term in the pen and he looks a sad wreck. His hair and mustache are as white as snow and he looked anything but comfortable or con tented as he reached the neighborhood of. his old quarters last night" A C. Miller, of Kings Valley, was in town yesterday on business before the i county court Mr. Miller is a strong ad vocate of good roads and is not favor ably impressed with the Oregon road laws. He made the statement that one cent on each bushel of wheat raised in Kings valley for the past ten years would have created a fund sufficient to build a macadamized road from Hoskins to the Willamette river. With such a road, grain could be stored in private grainer-ies-and marketed -during any month in the year, thus saving the cost of storage. He thinks if road taxes were paid in cash and the highways improved under con tracts let by the county court, the effect would be beneficial. " . The trial jn which the most interest was taken, at the raceut term of circuit ; court in Lincoln county was one in which the stale of Oregon .was plaintiff and William E. P-ich was defendant Rich was charged with burglary and the case was the result of the robbery of a safe in the O. P. station at Toledo on Hie of February 7, 1S95. . The defendant was represented by J. R. Bryson and W. S. McFadden of this city and J. K. Weath erford, of Albany, and the state by Judge Kelt ay, H. C. .Watson aud Fred Page Tustin. A strong case was made out for the state, but Rich succeeded iu convinc- ing the juryman that the crime was com ' mitted bv some other oersou. for the i urv ! was out but a short time when a verdict was returned of "not guilty." Beit Eowersox is moiiuing the loss of two pet ferrets, recently imported at con siderable expense, for the purpose exter minating: the horde of rats which have made their headquarters at the Benton ! Flouring Mills. The little animals were wont to wander away from Bert's tender care, and one of the luckless little fel lows was taken for a skuuk by a north end resident this week and killed. The other oue has been seen lately in the vi cinily of the Occidental hotel. Bert wishes it distinctly understood that this ferret is perfectly harmless, that it is neither a skunk, weasel nor anything of that nature. . Any information that will lead to the capture of the . pet will be thankfully received by Mr. Bowersox at the office of the Benton mill. Populist HofFman and Republican Pe- , er, Dallas, Or., delegates to the National terson have done fighting their pen duel i Editorial Association at St Augustine, Flor in a democratic oaoer. The Times, after i ida hava traded Col. Bob Johnson's famous favoring its readers with several effusions o - from each of these gentlemen;" devoted j mainly to the elucidation of the animal qualities of each other, ruthlessly "fired" the combatants from the field, owing to an accumulating fear that the increasing heat of the discussion might vrarp the cylinder press or cause a conflagration in in the mailing department. It is now reported on. excellent authority that, being deprived of an outlet for their literary aspirations, the two gentlemen will soon begin bombarding each other through papers of their own. Mr. Hoff man, the poet laureate of populism, is to be the intellectual partner in a populist journal to be started shortly, and named The Dynamiter. Brother Peterson, it is said, will favor the people - of Benton county with editorials through The Torpedo. The latter , paper, so rumor says, is to have anti Catholic tendencies. Mr. Peterson achieved much fame a few years since as a local theatrical manager, and in this capacity was honored with editorial mention in the Oregonian. The latter's friends are willing to stake his reputation in the amusement world against that of Mr. Hoffman as a states man. With such - destructive engines of warfare as the brethren propose to man ipulate, the struggle will doubtless be brief, though sanguinary. If these ven tures serve to satisfy the literary ambi tion of our esteemed friends,, the result ! will prove very satisfactory to the public 1 1. n T 1 r;. ., 1,1 t 1, .,, Lazarus Van Bebber, an Oregon Pioneer of 1846, died( Tuesday morning at the residence of his grandson, Sam King, in Kings valley. Had the deceased Kved until the 27th of the present month, he would have reached the advanced age of 90 years. He was born , in Clayborn county, Tenn. At the age of 21 years he emigrated to Illinois, and there followed farming until the spring of 1S46, when, with his family, he started across the plains for Oregon. Arriving in Benton connty that fall he located a donation j land claim in Kings valley where he has lived for over fifty years. On the morn ing of his death the deceased ate a hearty breakfast and seemed as well as usual, but about an hour thereafter he was stricken with heart disease and survived but a few minutes. . , J ' Barney Martin arrived in Corvallis Tuesday on a sad mission. He brought with him for interment the remains of a younger brother recently found dead near Myrtle Point, Coos county. Dar ing a recent sleet and snow storm, the deceased, who was about 26 years of age, started on foot for his home some miles distant from Myrtle Point It is sup posed that enroute he became exhaust ed and benumbed with cold and stopped by the wayside, dying from exposure. The body was found a few days later on tha bank of a small stream, the feet and legs under water to the knees. The remains were brought by. a coasting vessel from Coos Bay to Portland and from the latter point to Corvallis by rail. The deceased was the sou of Bobby Martin, once a resident of Benton couniv and well known throughout the valley The remains are to be interred at the Locke cemetery to day. Loyd Montgomery, who murdered his father aud mother aud Daniel McKer cher, near Brownsville November 19th, paid the penalty for his awful crime last Friday morning. The execution occurred at 7 o'clock and was decently and skill fully managed. But 73 days elapsed from the time the crime was committed until the murderer was hanged. Before his taking off Montgomery admitted his guilt, claimed to be sorry for what he had done and expressed the hope that God would forgive him and take him as he was. Relatives of the parenticide refused to take charge of the remains an(l tnev were buried in the Albany cein- ' 1 3 rt t trial and execution reflects credit upon the court, its officers and the people of. Linn county. ' Were all such cases dealt with in a similar manner the services of Judge Lynch woul d never be thought of. WANT AN INVESTIGATION. Affairs in Lincoln county do not appear to be running as smoothly as they might. It is said that the county, now less than three years old, is 30,000 in debt and according to street rumors in Toledo some persons have bee l before the grand jury and asked that an expert be appointed to investigate the hooks of the various county officers. Speaking of the matter, thu Lincoln Leader siys: If any person has sufficient evidence to show that such an investigation is liable to produce results that will be at all commen surate with the expense that will be incurred, then let the investigation come. But if we must bo put to this expense let it be done in a manner that will be beyond question, and laf if n f. t Vic-rvl Ttt cnmA nnft ivlirt nmi tin nl'ltiheld accountable in the futura should it be barren of results." - And if we are to put this expense 1st it start from thft first official act of the county and coma down to the last Let 113 have it straight and complete, no shielding, no shamming, no buncombe, no campaigning, no dodging, and let tha consii- j quences of such an investigation, bo they! good or bad, fall exactly where they belong. -A-nd Uo lot e vor-v county office be suoject to i the same rigid examination, f am coroner to ! clerk. Let U3 have no- one-sided bu-iness. 1 And, further, if we have to have this added i expense placed on tha taxpayers, lot it be done by a totally disinterested and a wholly i competent person from some place ouUideof the county, so that no political cnargo or charge of favoritism can be made. A SPECIAL FROM CUBA. Oregon's delegation of newspaper men attending the annual meeting of the Nation al Press Association at St Augustine, Flori da, last week sent tho following special to the Eugene Guard. On account of its local application, the communication is reprinted in the Gazkttk: Havana, Cuba, Jan. 27. Hon. Ira j L. Campbell, editor of the daily Guard, Eu ; gene, Or. , Hon. Chas. Nickell, editor of the Times, Jacksonville, Or., Col. D. I. Ash bury, editor of the News, Canyon City, Or., and Chas. C. Doughty, editor of the Observ- Prune ranch near Corvallis, Or., for Spain's interest in the island of Cuba, and will es tablish a resort for Oregon bachelors. Being leap year they proposed to go to Havana, Cuba. Mr. Campbell, in an interview this morning, intimated that- he would erect a commodious theatre and had wired Edwin C. Stone, manager of the O. C. & E. R. R., to either accept the management of this house or name a suitable person. - Mr. Campbell had about completed nego- tiations for the island and was to give the celebrated Campbell & Walker hopyard for the same, but Col. Nickel!, who had come here in the interest of Bob Johnson, after having persuaded Campbell to . chaperon him, drew from his inside pocket a bottle of Florida water, in which he had put three young alligators for safe keeping, and de clared upon his honor as a democrat from Jackson county, Oregon, that these creeping, crawling alligators were hop lice taken from the vines of Campbell's yards in Lane coun ty.

City. ..." Last week J, H. Wilson returned from a T,-;e v.. ,.;,.,. r.. vn.i. n;t Tk ., ,. . , . ., . . weather, upon his arrival in the busy metrop - olis, he found somewhat cool, but as sunny and clear as an Oregon Juno day. From what he learned of the climate there, it does not compare with'tho mild and healthful climate of Western Oregon. Mr. . Wilson is a close observer and never fails to note matters of general interest. , To a Gazette representative who called upon him at his office the other day, he conversed freely upon the sights he saw and the impressions they mid upon him. Speaking of the wida stretch of country fiat lias betwcei the fertile' slopes of the Pacific c ast and the productive portion of fie Mississippi valley, he said: On the surface, one would be inclined to think this intervening country is indeed bar ren, and in truth ona great d.sert. Nature, however, wiser than mankind, seems to have given to the desert an equivalent in resources which if not to bo taken from the products of the soil, a,re stored in the underground re cesses of which man U just obtaining first glimpses. To supply the mining machinery and railroad engines, and for tha consump tion of the residents, coal iu-gviat quantities is found at convenient ppinjs To supply the human family with "its most precious metal, as the race increa?03, gold is found and in great and Increasing abundance. I can imagine the astonishment depicted on ;tha countenance of those old hunters and trappers, who thought the country was mined when the beaver and buffalo disap peared, at the sight of great cities springing linto exU'.anee around a lode of gold or silver b taring oro,)r at the intersection of two or more lines of railway transporting travelers and freights in a few days to points which it required months of hardship and great personal jaopardy for thom-to reach, and within the la:t generation. Truly this is a progressive nation."- Continuing, Mr. Wilson said: "I noticed another evidence of progress the other day. What I call progress, al though I doubt if our populist prophet would agree with me." Referring to his notebook he quoted the following from a published speech delivered, a few days since, by Mr. Eugene V. D.-bj, who ha? lately bean re leased from a prison to which ho was sent for inciting a strike in Cliieago, and else where, in 1S94: "I don't telieve these proiilem3 can be solved by fovea. : I want to" see the time when the working man will make better uso of his leisure hours. Cultivate the home and fireside. Better buy books than beer. I want to bo candid enough to Ta3" I have tried both. (Laughter.) I want the work ing man to mix some thought with his toil. Cultivate seifreliance, and do himself what he can do to solve the labor problem. Capi tal is doing just the same as you would do if you were in its place. . The workingman should have home libraries. Five dollars win bpy a good many good books these days and fifty ponis will make a fah start. Got a primer on economics, and learn about wages, food, cloibing and'hoHer. - Eeeprpsthe study for a year and see'if you' hatfo not dono very much to belter yoi:r condition. If J you want to bo right certain to have a great many f-iends, he sure not to need one. Save one dollar a week, or as many as you. can. No man has so sure a situation as the man who has something in bank. Ue is the last man to be discharged. Everybody is your fi iend then and ready to help you." Commnting on the above remarks of Deof,"Mr: WDson'sald: "Coming as this docs from a great apostle o" labo,-, and one who has tried both kinds of treatment, the reasonable and the unrea sonable, the above indicates that Mr. Deb3, sa 0 1 is lasting credit, h3 returned to his and is giving his labor friends good 3 T - 1 .) U.i - l.-innl,A. J ... A . . . . . . , -i. tno lu '-.a names 01 maustriai inquietude win not accept Mr. Debs' m manifesto, but will call him an apostate. It is a curious freak of human nature, and not any too creditable to our honesty, that we uniformly approve of what we desire and cond mn what we do not want. I cm hardly believe that any man, who hates people who have gold or properly, because they have it, will agree kwith Mr. Debs that the right way to obtain thc'&coveted possessions is the true solution of the labor problem. No one will dispute that most of the people who incite strikes and keep up labor agitation, hate those peo ple who have gold " and property, because they have it. Our local prophet on populism is likely to deny this generally, but say it is tho wrongful use of their gold which the agi tators hate. If this is all their grievance they roally can have no legitimate place in pol'tics for tho corrupt use of money is a sub ject for criminal proceedure and not in any manner necessarily an indication of a defec tive system of government. If peop'e- are making use of gold to corrupt legislatures tho true mission of these labor' agitators would be to find out who is doing so and have them punished. This would stop a large and profitable business to a numerous band of human wolves who do this country and its laboring classes and all indastry more damage all the time than tbey can ever re pay, but it seems to me that that is about what they ought to do if they are sincere. Mr. Debs seems upon six months meditation to have .eacaed a very sensible conclusion. It is sincerely to be nopal that his good ex ample will be largely followed." c Mr. Wilson took a walk through Wall street one mornin , and claims to have seen nothing to indicate any of the hideous things so much spoken of regarding that street "I suppose," he said, "that if I had want ed to borrow some money from some of the banking establishments, without being able to furnish such security as the bank would demand, I would then be able to see the edge of some cloven hoof, or smell some of its sulphur. I suppose that is about all there is in the exista ce of the devils, said to inhabit that street. Why should they lend me their good money if I could not properly secure them? They are keen after a bargain of course. So is everyone in his own vocation If a president, handicapped by the wide dif fusion, of a belief that the government's paper will not be paid at sight in a metal commercially worth what it calls for, makes an unwise or injudicious loan - to a greedy syndicate of money sharpers, is that any rea son why every man who has money to lend is also a sharper? I hardly think .so. If the people find their president makes such blunders, either ignorantly or for a consider- ation, they should gel a president who will not do such things, and aflbrd him revenue large enough to pay the government's cur rent obligations, so that he will not be obliged and cannot be tempted toUo such things. In a word, get a republican president and have another thirty years of peace, common sense, and prosperity. . "I attended Trinity church, Episcopalian. I went there because I happened -at church time to be near that church, 1 ,. . , , The congrega tion was quite large, about four hundred peo ple. I thought I was in a Catholic church until I heard the music, the lights.' and orna ments, and so forth, were so similar. The. music was dalightful , but Greek to a Prea- bytenan. There were many furs and silks and jewels present. In some contrast to the mult'tudes of persons in this great city who do not have such things. Another great in congruity has occurred to me several times. One's heart bleeds at the thought of to much suffering as the city contains; but when one sees the average poor man or poor woman tho heart some how stops bleeding, so to speak, as if it were the next one that would be meritorious.' .The truth is the human heart is a selfish bea t and needs chastening all the time to be half-way decent and honest with itself. Jesus laid: 'Como unto me, all ye that are weary and heavy laiJen.' How great a contrast between His derine ex ample and the inevitable tendency of the nineteenth century human heart, to follow exactly this precept."' The Secret of Good Crops. The modern farmer is not content to me the antiquated tools and methods of his fathers. In this age of keen competition, the farmer who wishes to prosper, needs and gets the most improved fa: ming implements; and by reading the be3t agricultural litera ture, he keeps in touch with the spirit of progress that porvades our farming commu nities. He is particular, also, in regard to the kind of seed ho plants and the manner of planting it. The seeds must be of high est fertility and grown from the highest cul tivated and most profitable varieties of stock. The great seed firm of D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich., fully appreciate" this fact, as U attested by their progressive business methods and the quality of the seed which supply farmers and gardeners through the dealers al over the country. The reliability and fertility of their seeds are proverbial and the largest seed business in the world has been created by their sale. In evidence of this firm's knowledge of the wants and requirements of planters, large and small, is Fe. ry's isetd A.inual for 1S96.

"Who Can Beat It? Oscar Tom, a well-to-do stockraisor, liv ing on Fall creek in the Alsea valley, writes to the Gazette giving an account of his experience in butter making, that is hard to beat. He says he has an old scrub cow, which jrave birth to i. calf, December 4th, last. . Fire days later he. began saving the milk, and on January 1st, twenty two days later, lie had churned twenty pounds of but ter. During this time tho calf was permit ted to run with the cow and help itself to whatever amount of milk it desired, Mr. Tom thinks the calf sucked at least one-half of tho cow' milk. Ho says ho fed her oats, hay and about ten pounds of -potatoes at night, and in the morning, nothing but cheat hay. In closing hi? letter, Mr. Tom asks "Who can beat it?" " DIED.
