two horses which he sup posed to be in
the pasture where he placed them, were
impounded and sold by the chief of po
lice a few weeks ago. He had received
no notice of their being taken up nor
seen any description published. The
law, if it does not require publication of
description of animals impounded, as iu
est ray notice, should do so.
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

Mr. Strong, of Forsjth'e & Strong,
proprietors of the sawmill at Mission
Landing, was in town this week, con
tracting for hard wood logs. 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

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.

A Baseball Revival. College
Athletes."
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
