The overtures for the concert are really high grade selections. Baud music lor dancing is a novelty in Corvallis aud those who have heard the boys practice, say that the innovation will make a hit. A polygamist in Salt Lake City has two wives, one old and the other young. The latter pulled out his gray hairs so that he wouldn't appear old, and the first wile pulled out his dark hairs so that he wouldn't look young. Now he is as bald as -a pump kin. Seth Hurlburt has made an uncommon discovery of pre-his-toric remains, while excavating on his ranch a few miles south of Corvallis. The specimens seen, so far, are evidently bones or shells of giant crustaceans, but are so far decayed as to destroy their positive classification. O Dicers of the Salvation army called to explain dial. I hey took no steps to have iho.se young men arrested, as stated in last week'. Gazkttk. They told the boys they would make a complaint in he police court, but took no fur ther steps. It seems to have been a case of bluff. The State Teachers' Associa tion, which meets in Salem next Monday, promises to be well at tended by the teachers of Ben ton county. To accomodate all those who desire to attend, the O. C. & E. will make a special round trip rate of $1-20; tickets good going on the 28th and returning the 31st. Out of respect for the mem ory of their deceased member, Mrs. E. Holgate, the ladies of the Coffee Club postponed their par ty until next Thursday evening, Dec. 31. The ladies appointed on a special committee to fur nish refreshments have not been discharged and are requested to govern themselves accordinglj'. Chief -Wells with a, force of men greatly improved the appear-; ance of Main street this week by removing the mud which Had ac cumulated on the thoroughfare during the recent heavy rains.

In recognition of his untiring efforts looking to ward securing some favorable legislation in the interests of better highways, Mr. Lake was chosen chairman of the Good Roads convention, which held a three days' session in Portland last week. Several hundred del egates from various portions of the state were in . attendance and the meeting will doubtless give an impetus to the good roads movement all over Oregon. W. - E. Yates returned home Sunday from Roseburg, where he had been for a couple of weeks in attendance upon the circuit ceurt for Douglas county. Dur ing the term, he conducted the prosecution in two very impor tant murder cases, securing; a conviction in one,- but in the other the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. As a prosecu tor, Mr. Yates is gaining an en viable reputation. Thus far dnring his career as district at torney he has prosecuted seven cases and has secured a convic tion in six of them.

Rockett, the nightwatch man of the little steamboat Gyp sy, plying between upper- Wil lamette points, was on duty Satur day night, when the boat was ly ins at her wharf in this city. He was seen early Sunday morning, but siuce then no trace can be found of him. It is thought that he found death in the Willamette, Rockett had been up town dur ing the greater part Of Saturday night, visiting the saloons, but not drinking a great deal.- lie was 111 company with a deck hand of the Gvusy at one a loon and the two vere quarreling over some money matters. About two o'clock bun dav iiiorniiiir. Officer Skipton met him a ml Rockett said he was go ing to 1 he boat and cook a chick en. This was the last time he was seen. -i It is uenerallv thought thai he walked oil' the O. li. & N. dock which is tot n up and being repair ed. Some suspect foul play, but the members of the boat's crew scout the the idea, and think he accident ly stepped into the river. -Between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning a party on the other side of the river heard someone shouting, but nothing was thought of the incident at the time. It was doubtless the crys of Rock ett that were heard 'us he fell in to the water. Everything possi ble has been done to recover the bodyi but so far those having the task in hand have been uusuc cessful. Death ef Mrs. E. Holgate. Mrs, E- Holgate, wife 6f Judge Holgate, died Wednesday morn ing at her home in this city after a brief illness. She had been in"- poor health for several months, but had uot been dan gerously ilUuntil within the past week, when lier daughter Helen, who had bcen.attending college in Portland, wassent for. ? Some time ago Mrs. -Holgate sustained a serious - fall the - shock from which doubtless hastened her de mise. Though not of a robust constitution, she was possessed of an indomitable will, which she strongly exercised to the last, insisting that she was not seri ously afflicted and would soon be around as usual. She, however, overestimated her strength and early Wednesday morning, sur rounded by members of her fam- ilyj she passed peacefully away. Anna Violet Holgate was born in Sullivan county, Missouri, May iQth. I84.0. She was the 1 2 til child of John and Mary Watt, a prominent pioneer fam ily, who crossed the plains in I847 and located in Yamhill county. Alno Watt, one of her brothers, is an official of the O. R. & N. Co., and Joseph Watt, another brother, -who died a few years ago, was" also well, known throughout the state, v She was a sister of Mrs. B. H. Bowman; Mrs. J. A. Morton and Mrs. Rox- anna White, J of Portland, and Mrs. Werner Breyman, of Sa lem, all of whom are now in the city and will remain until after the , funeral. Miss Watt spent her childhood in Yamhill county, but previous to her marriage, was employed as a teacher in the public schools of this city. It was while thus en gaged thai she became acquaint ed with Mr. E. Holgate, whom she married August 30th, 1860, since which time they have re-j sided continuously in this city. Mrs. Holgate was the mother of six children, all of whom sur vive her. The eldest, Willard W. Holgate, now resides in Ba ker City, Arthur E. and Edward T. live in Portland, and the oth er three children, H. L, Helen and Don, reside at home. Today, within that gnef-stnek- en home, the inky draperies of sorrow displace the bright color ings of Christmas tide, aud sobs and lamentations rise instead of jflad carols and joyous greeting.-.. How fitting that the closing scene 111 a Christian lite snouia conic upon the day which . marks the birth of Him, who died that ever lasting life might come to those who had faith in Him. She was a loving, devoted wife, a tender, affectionate mother, a genfrous, changeless friend, a true, gentle woman. And when the voice that called her hence shall summon those from whom it gave her grief to part, may they join her in the world of rest and peace "Where no vtornis beat on the glittering strands, and the years of eternity roll."

Its name is Romeo and came all the way from Texas, ar riving Wednesday. , It is a dog. Dogs are common enough, but this kind of a dog las never been seen in Corval is before. It looks more like a bluish gray squirrel, and, in fact, is more of a -squirrel than a dog. It is a prairie dog and a cuter, prettier, gentler pet no bov could desire. The jlittle animal is loving and affectionate and Earl ha onlv to call once,. 'Romeo, where art h"ou?'Mo have Romeo appear. . Valuable Invention. Jas.

A satisfactory -perforater is one of the demands of the iirintinsr business thai inventors hare not ye; met, and there will be a big field lor the sale of Mr. Flett's machine should the invention p.ove as successful as appearances ndicate it will be.
