Many Corvallis citizens who attended the Airs, i'liompsoii memorial services, have couiuieaied upon Ihe beautiful ad dress of Rev. W. A. Smick upon that occasion. Iu simple, but powerful lan guage he expressed the noble thoughts of a siuccre man and true Christian. Mr. Smick is the Sunday school missionary of the Presbyterian church for the Pres bytery of Willamette and resides at Al bany. Miss Gertrude Holmes, of the Holmes business College, Portland, was iu atten dance at the convention of the Y. W. C. A.

He found he could secure all the ash wood he wanted. , He pays 50 cents a log more for ash here than for logs from further down the river, as the timber is of better quality. Mr. Strong says that he notices a decided improvement in business and has more orders than the mill can fill, "due to the confidence people have in the present administration." The city election occurs on the 17th of this month. E. Woodward, who is fill ing out Judge Kelsay's unexpired term, will probably be elected mayor, and A. Cauthorn will be re-elected treasurer. The principal contest this election seems to be for the office of police' judge. The withdrawal of Frank Lilly leaves the race between Johnson Porter, the present officar, and E. P. Greffoz. There are mauy guesses as to the outcome of the chief of police fight. As usual, candi dates for councilmen are conspicuous by their absence. The North Pacific Association Young Women's Christian Association held its fifth annual convention in this city, com mencing Friday and ending' Sunday ev ening. About 90 delegates were present, including Mrs. Cyrus Dolph and Miss Gertrude Holmes, of Portland, and Miss Simms, of Chicago, international secre tary. The Oregon Agricultural College, Albany College, Pacific College, Mc Minnville College, State University, Pa cific University, Willamette University and Portland University had representa tives. The sessions were very interest ing and the convention was in every way successful. TUe principal action of tiie county court at its session this week was to re duce the assessment of M. S. Woodcock on 415 shares of National Bank stock. The county board of equalization raised the assessment from 50 to 570 per share, and Mr. Woodcock presented a petition at the April term asking for a reduction of his assessment but it was rejected. He however argued his claims more effectu ally this week and the required reductiou was made. Jndge Hufford, having acted once on the question, and having also been a member of the equalization boArd which raised the assessment, refused to act further in the matter and the action above referred to was taken by Commis sioners Buchanan and Chambers. Why national bank stock, paying eight and ten per cent dividends, should only be assessed at 50 cents on the dollar, while money, notes and accounts are assessed at 100 cents on the dollar, is not made plain by the court's order. The contract for building a bridge across the Luckia mutc was awarded to Tillitson & Burgett for $470 and W. S. Hufford was instructed to employ counsel to petition the U. S, court to require the receiver of the O. D. Co. to make payment of all taxes due Benton county. As it is a well-established fact that ca tarrh is a blood disease, medical men are quite generally prescribing Ayer's Sarsa parilla for this most dangerous and loath some complaint Where this treatment is perseveringly followed, a thorough cure is invariably the result. CALLED HOME- Life Work of Mrs. E. J..Thomp son Finished. Sabbath evening, May 2nd, 1897, Mrs. E. J. Thompson, a, good woman and a true Christian, lay down the burdens of life. The world is better that she has lived in it and many hearts have learned priceless lessons from her daily life. All the good her hands found to do, she did cheerfully and thoroughly. Her gentle, quiet influence pervaded home, society and church. Of her it might well be said, "None knew her, but to love herj none named her, but to praise." , Mrs. Thompson was the wife of the pastor of the Presbylerian church at Cor vallis. His pastorate has extended over twelve years aud each year the people of the community grew more to know and love the noble woman whom God has called home. He who gave has taken away aud those bereft are taught to say submissively! "Blessed be the name of the Lord." Funeral service: were held at the I'resbyleriau church Tuesday morning, conducted by Revs. W. A. Smick and Kenneth Brown, of Albany, assisted by the pastors of the various churches of this city. The church was beautified with floral decorations tributes from loving . friends. A large congregation listened to the impressive services. In terment was made in the Masonic ceme tery at Albany. . Eleanor Phelps Armstrong was born in Shoreham, Vermont, Dec. 25th, 1840, aud resided there for lS years. - She came from Puritan revolutionary slock and both of her great-grandfathers were officers in the service of the struggling American colonies. She received at Shoreham a thorough academic education and later was gradu ated from the Woodstock (Vt.) Female Seminary. She was united in marriage with Rev. E. J. Thompson, December 30th, 1857, j and with him, began a long and useful career of teaching and missionary work. They remained in Vermont three years and then moved to Minnesota, where they lived twenty years. Dr. Thompson, for the greater part of this time, was pro fessor of mathematics and astronomy in the State University at Minneapolis. Much of Mrs. Thompsou's time, during these years, was occupied in teaching and in home missionary .service. Three years Dr. aud Mrs. Thompson spent iu North Dakota, as home missionaries, aud in 1884 they came to Oregon, locating at Salem, where, lor two years, Dr. Thomp son was pastor of the Presbyterian church. Since 1885, with the exception of a few months spent at Albany, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson have resided in Cor vallis, during which time Dr. Thompson has occupied the pulpit of the Presbyte; rian church. In his successful ministry, he has enjoyed the earnest, thoughtful and wise co-operation aud counsel of his wife and helpmate. It was on the first Sunday of May, 1884, that Dr. Thompson preached his first sermon in Oregon and on. the first Sunday in May, -1897, Mrs. Thompson went home to God. - - - ' AT REST. Died, at Corvallis, May 1st, 1897, Mrs. Phoebe Lamberson, aged 75 years, 2 months aud 17 days, after a long and painful sickness. Mrs. Lamberson came here about twelve years ago from Pennsylvania and leaves three sons aud oue daughter to mourn her loss. In-early life she UHited with the "Bible Christians." The funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. No ble, at the resideuce of her son, Sunday at 2 olock. Mauy friends attended the funeral and by their tears attested to the worth of the departed. . When wear begins to exceed repair in your body, you are going to fall sick. The sigus of it are loss of flesh, paleness, weakness, nervousness, etc. - The repair needed is food. You think that you eat enough, aud yet you feel that you wear out more tissue, energy, nerve-force, than your food makes for you. The difficulty is that you don't digest enough. Aud this is so serious, it is worth sitting down seriously to think about. If you can't digest what you eat, take a few doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial. The effect of it will be to increase your strength and make yon feel stronger. You won't fall sick. Proof that it is in control of your repair apparatus. It's easy enough to test this for yourself. Take a few bottles of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Sold by druggists at 10 cents to $1.00 per bottle.

Thousands of delegates from all parts of the Unionwill be present and notable leaders in church work will gath er at the big city of the coast. There are, no donbt, many young people in Benton county, who greatly desire to at tend, but whose means"' will not permit them to take the trip. They will be de-. lighted to learn that a splendid oppbf tunity has been opened for some one to attend the convention without cost. Mr. S. L. Kline, of the big white store in this city, has expressed his in tention of paying the entire expenses of one person to the convention. He does not wish to exhibit any partiality in this matter and, in order to allow everyone an equal chance to secure this magnifi cent; present, he has decided to present a round-trip ' ticket to San Francisco to the person, either lady or gen tleman, receiving the highest number of votes that will be cast between this date aud June 26th.

Last Saturday afternoon, at Albany, the Albany College' baseball team defeat ed the O. A. C, nine, the score standing 20 to 18. In the first inning Albany made 11 runs and the Farmers, 7. Then the teams settled down to business; Al bany only landed 9 additional runs, while 11 stalwart Farmers cantered safely over the home plate. Protests against- the Albany pitcher were filed prior to the game, and until this has been decided, it will not be known which team will com pete in the other college games. Con sidering their lack of practice, the boys played a fair game. Corvallis has a very good baseball team rthat includes some of the college players, and some exciting games may be expect ed this summer. Grounds have been prepared on the flat near Mary's river bridge. iThey ought to be fenced in, for it is only right that spectators should help pay the teams' expenses. Probably $60 worth of lumber aud nails would be suffi cient for the purpose and the boys would do the work. It is suggested that a sub scription paper' be circulated to raise ."funds.1 ' . The team has not be a uauied. Com ing from Corvallis, it might be called the "Hearties." The boys, play their first match game Sunday afternoon with Long Tom. Tiie latter team is said to be a strong one, and a good game is anticipa ted. John Warner is the Corvallis captain, Geo. Irvine, Frank Crawford and "Pad legs" Smith are among the candidates for pitcher. Smith aud Clark are behind the bat. Warner, Hall aud Hout are basemen, while Wiley Youug plays short; in the field, Terrel, Clark, Crawford and others will play the positions. Asa Tuu nicliff, Corvallis' old-time crack catcher, may join the team. Tomorrow afternoon Cjrvallis plays Philomath a practice game, here. The Philomath team has some good, players, but they have had but little practice this year.- Oue week from tomorrow the O. A. C. local field day occurs. The result will practically decide the make-up of the team that will go to Salem in June, and with the hard practice the boys are in dulging iu, there will, us doubt, be some great races. Trainer Cameron attends strictly to busiuess and is gettiug his tneu in fine condition. The Eugene Guard regrets that the State University track team has been weakened by some faeulty rulings and adds that "no formidable opposition was expected" if the Eugene team could put forth its best efforts.

The praiseworty efforts of Mr. Rube Kiger to arouse interest in horse speed, ing is meeting with deserved success.
