Josiah Bowersox, pastor of the Independent Evangelical church in this city, departed this life at 12:50 p. m. yesterday at the family home, No. 427 Liberty street, her age being 54 years, 9 months and 21 days. - The news of her demise will be quite a shock to her numerous friends and ac quaintances throughout this city and valley, where she -was widely known; She was taken ill Tuesday evening and soon it was apparent that her condition was a serious one. The best of medical aid was summoned, but all efforts to pro duce a change for the better were of no avail and death relieved her of her suffering at the hour heretofore stated. Deceased's maiden name was Mary C Orwig and she was bora in Newberlin, Union county, Pennsylvania, on Decem ber 14, 1841. On December i6j 1862, at that city she became the wife of Josiah Bowersox and they continued their resi dence their until May, 1870, when they removed to Oregon, settling in Salem in 1870. With the exception of seven years past at Albany and other places in the Willamette valley .by reason of Mr. Bow ersox's pastoral duties, they have lived here ever since. She was the mother of five children four sons and one daugh terviz: Arthur and Albert W., of Cor vallis; Mrs. Adda Allen, of Portland; Frank, of Sacramento, and Fred, who is still at home. All are here excepting Frank who has been telegraphed for and will arrive tomorrow morning. Her aged mother is at present residing in Cleveland, Ohio. Mrs. Bowersox was an active member and worker in the Independent Evan gelical church, of which her husband is pastor. Salem Statesman. Mrs. Bowersox was buried last Satur day. Arthur and Albert Bowersox went to Salem in response to a telegram, . but arrived too late to see their mother alive. MORTGAGING HIUIOHS. The recent transfer of the O. R, & N. properties, is makin g work for Recorder Gellatly." The transfer from the. receiv ers to the purchasing committee involved the necessity of four deeds and a mort gage, all the instruments had to appear on record in every county where the com pany has property. The amount of mort gage bonds to be issued is limited by the terms of the mortgage to $24,500,000 and $15, 174,000, are to be issued forthwith. The property in Benton county is not very extensive, consisting only of the warehouse and wharf. While the instru ments deal only with millions, they refer, so far as this county is concerned, to only about $ 1,500 worth of property. The four deeds comprise about 270 fo lios and the mortgage, 160 folios. Ben ton county is $40 richer by the transfer, the recording fees running up to that amount. . , -. Three Shoaters. Capt. J. W. Crawford, Samp Hender son and John Huffman are hunting in the Cascades near Seven-mile mountain. In a letter from Mr. Crawford to his family he states that the'air has been so smoky from the big fires, that hunting was for a time out of the question, but they have been very successful since the rains. They met the families that drove over the mountains from Eastern Oregon and who so narrowly escaped with their lives. One team was actually blistered, one man had his beard singed, and a wonan'shair was burned. Mr. Crawford adds that their clothing is rapidly disappearing and unless they return soon, they will have to begin hunt ing fig leaves.

Poli-.- tical Notes. - ' Senator Mitchell's visit to Corvallis is expected to be the biggest political event in the history of Benton county. The whole day will be given to jollification. Not only is Senator Mitchell to be here, but the McKinley club has assurance from Binger Hermann that he will speak in Corvallis at the same time, and the celebration will be in the nature of an ovation to these two gentlemen, for their loyal and able services as public servants, as well as an outpouring of McKinleyism. It will be essentially a farmers day, and -agriculturalists from Linn, Lane, Polk and Benton counties will be here to shout for old glory and dawning prosper ity. Farmers are expected to take part in the parades and these will eclipse any thing of the kind ever seen in this part of the country. Various committees are hard at work arranging for the big day, and nothing will be left undone for the comfort and pleasure of the thousands of expected vis itors. Populists, Bryan democrats, na tional democrats, prohibitionists, repub lican everybody should and will come and enjoy the biggest, noisiest, most en thusiastic day, Corvallis has ever known. Let everybody remember the day, next Thursday, September 17th, and make preparations to put in that day as a sort of circus day, 4th of July, picnic and rat ification, all combined. "It has been said that 'peace hath her victories no less renowned than, those of war,' and I place in nomination as ' tem porary chairman of this meeting Honor able John Burnett," said Lawyer W- S. McFadden', and thus opened the meeting for the organization of a Bryan club. Lawyer Burnett was elected without op position and Lawyer A. L. McFadden was chosen temporary secretary. Lawyer Weatherford being then introduced, talk ed for free silver. He declared that the United States is going down hill while Mexico is progressing. No hired emigra tion agent of the Mexican government could have lauded that land of Greasers more than did Lawyer Weatherford. The speaker said farmers sold at whe'esale and bought at retail prices, but fail 'd to show wherein free silver would chaige that condition of things. The balance of his speech was the same prediction of higher prices that he made four years ago, only Cleveland was his "high price" man then, and free trade the means, while now it is Bryan and free silver. After the ad dress a committee on by-laws was ap pointed and Lawyer W. S. McFadden spoke briefly of the farmer, and men tioned one whose farm was sold under foreclosure, the judge being the attorney of the "fiendish money power" that did it A sort of confession of the accom plice. The committee then reported a constitution, beginning with a long ora tion and declaring firmly that "fifty cents is one dollar." This was adopted and the following officers elected. President, Virgil Watters; vice-president, John Stewart; 2nd vice-president, Nels Wheel er; secretary, A. L. McFadden, treasurer, A. F. Hershner. Pun Avery, S. L. Henderson, Dr. Farra, IS. Holgate, Pole Avery, Jas. A. Cauthorn, F. L. Miller, J. M. Nolan, Johnson Por ter, R. E. Gibson, M. Schmidt, Mac Por ter, J. E. Sorbin, Ed. Greffoz, Lewis Wil son, and several other prominent demo crats didn't even get appointed on com mittees, the probable reason being that they are not the class of men who believe that "fifty cents is one dollar," and are not .going to vote for Mr. Bryan. Virgil Watters is popular and able, and looks out of place as the leader of populism. Hon. T. T. Geer addressed the McKin ley club last Friday night and a large au dience greeted him. Mr. Geer talks to the point, is logical and convincing. He plunged right into the money question and laid bare the fallacies of the Bryanites. Mr. Geer's Salem speech appears in the supplement of this week, and the atten tion of farmers is called to it especially. It is powerful and unanswerable. McKinley clubs are being organized this week all over the county. The men of Benton county, regardless of party, are getting up on their chairs and saying "fifty cents is not a dol lar, and by the Eternal the laws ot the laws of the land shall not be prosti tuted at the behest of visionaries or mer cenaries." Large and Good. One of the largest, if not the largest, printing job, ever attempted in Corvallis has just been completed. This was the printing and binding of 850 examination and correspondence tablets for the use of college students, ordered by the station ery stores of Con Gerhard and May War ren. - " " This - work was done in competition with Portland and San Francisco firms and in workmanship and quality, the tab lets are superior to those made for these stores last year by San Francisco houses. The job required 800 pounds of paper and 47,000 impressions. They were print ed by Gazette Publishing Co., whose job printing department can , compete with metropolitan printers, as to prices, dispatch and artistic workmanship. Is it "overwork" that has filled this coun try with nervous dyspeptics? that takesMhe flesh off their bones, the vitality from their blood, and makes them feeble, emaciated and inefficient? No. It is bad cooking, overeating of indigestible stuff, and other health-destroying habits. The remedy is an artificially digested food such as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, Instead of irritating the already inflamed stomach the Cordial gives it a chance to rest by nourishing the system itself and digesting other food taken with it. So flesh and strength return. " Is not the idea rational? The Cordial is palatable end re lieves immediately. No money risked to decide on its value. A 10-eent "trial bottle does that. 1- -' LxXol is the best medicine for ehildren. Doctors recommend it in place ef Castor Oil. "Superior" heating and cook stoves ac knowledged the best and cheapest. Call and see our new stove and get our prices. Simp son, Huston & Co. ; OABTORXA. v : 'f A HAH FROM MEXICO. A gentleman was in Corvallis last Sat urday who five weeks ago was in the city of Mexico. .-' This gentleman, Mr. J. B. Johnston, is a very intelligent and observ ing mechanic, and has been engaged in the putting in of mining machinery for several years. : He has put in five plants in Mexico, and his first visit there was in 1873. Mr. Johnston had his hand crush ed in a hoisting machine at a Mexican mine two months ago and returned to the United States. In reply to an inquiry as to the operation of free silver in Mex ico, Mr. Johnson furnished the follow ing statement: - "In old Mexico there are four classes benefitted by free silver. 1st The mine owner. Miner's wages in Mexico are $1.25 per day in silver worth 65 cents in gold. In this country the wages for the same work are $3.50 per day in gold. So yon see, the mine owners get their work done in Mexico for less than one-fourth what it costs in this country. Conse quently, the mine owners are making money and are prosperous. A great deal of American money is being invested in Mexican mines, but it means starvation to the miners. 2nd The owners of large coffee, sugar and rice farms are making money, due to the depreciation of the currency. The above articles are exported in large quan tities to Europe and this country and sold for gold. These landlords sell the gold and pay their laborers in silver, the wages ranging from 30 cents to 50 cents per day: equal to 15 cents and 2.5 cents in gold. Consequently, you can see the laborer of Mexico is in a worse condition than the slave ever was in this country. It takes a day's work to pay for a pound of coffee. So you see, the luxuries of life they know nothing about . The la-., borers of Mexico are not able to wear shoes. So you can judge of their pros perity. All other branches of agricul ture, except as above mentioned, are in a worse condition than before the depreci ation of their currency. Yours truly, J.B.JOHNSTON. Sportsmen all admit that the best results are obtained by using the famous Peters re inforced paper shells loaded with King's smokeless powder. Absolutely the strong est and cleanest powder made.

GEORGE M. CLA-iT Dated at Corvallis, Oregon , this iVth day of August, 1896. . Tho New Hook. Spoon Free to All. I read in the Christian Standard that Miss A. M. Frits, Station A., St. 'Louis, Mo., would give an ele gant plated hook spoon to anyone sending her ten 2-cent stamps. 1 sent for one and found it so useful that I showed it to my friends, and made 913.60 in two hours, taking orders for the spoon. The hook spoon is a household necessity. It cannot slip into the dish or cooking vessel, being held in the place by a hook on the back. The spoon is something that housekeepers have needed ever since spoons were first invented. Anyone can get a sample spoon by sending ten 2-cent stamps to Miss Fritz. This is a splendid way to make money around home. Very truly, Jsanscttk S. Reason in Rhyme. ' .. The cat came back; I've found the reason why, He'd been away to Kansas And a cyclone hurtled by.
