BRYAN AND DAViS.
The Latter May Prove a
Dangerous Rival for the
Boy Orator.
Gov. Lord on the O. A. C.
"(J. A, R. Installation.
The National Inver tor's Association
has recently been incorporated at Port
land, with a capital of $10,003. M. W.
Wilkins, James M. Conro, A. N. Wright
and S. T. Jeffrey's are the incorporators..
M. W. Wilkins, builder of the Hotel
Corvallis and proprietor of the Waterloo
railroad, will look after the Northwest
agency of the association, and will place
aa-ncies through the territory. The
object is to secure patents and to intro
duce and sell new patents.
The matrimonial market has opened
up quite brisk since the beginning of the
new year, and this year's record promises
to rival all preceeding ones. Last Wed
nesday at high noon, Mr. Chester Huff
man joined the ranks of the benedict's,
and the blushing bride was Miss Elma
Hedrick. The ceremony was performed
by Justice E. R. Bryson, at the residence
of John Huffman, the groom's father.
The happy couple left for their farm
home near Philomath the same evening.
Messrs. James Plunkett, and H. H.
Glassford.of Wren, left Monday for the
Soldiers' Home, near Los Angeles, Calif.,
accompanied by Mr. Williams, of Salem,
another old soldier. It is their intention
to remain at the home about a year.
The hoi le is located in one of the most
beautiful spots in California, and several
hundred veterans enjoy its comforts.
Readers of the Union will remember a
full description of the place, together
with the method of carrying it on, in a
letter published in this paper some time
ago from Louis Winter, who is staying at
the home.
The farmers' short course opened at
the college Tuesday morning and 40 per
sons marticulated for the course which
closes February 4th. This custom of
giving a series of lectures on practical
subjects has been in vogue at the O. A.
C. for several year3, but at no time has
such an interest been manifested in them
throughout the state, nor such a large at
tendance been present at the beginning,
as this year. Fifteen counties are repre-
' sen ted and the ages of members of the
class range from 20 to 63 years. It is ex-
twenty miles, four
progress made.
miles a day was Uie pected that the present number will be
i increased to 75 next week .
When William Jennings Bryan lee
tured at the state fair at Salem a yearor
so before his nomination for president,
he hadn't yet given utterance to his
famous "Crown of thorns, and cross of
gold," and attracted little more atten
tion than other curiosities at the exposi
tion. In fact there was another boy
orator on the grounds who outshone
this importation from the Platte as the
paste diamond does the geuuihe. It was
Rev. Edward Davis, of Oakland, Calif.,
who was proclaimed the "Taliriage of the
west." His .voice was mellow as a
shepherd's flute, his eye flashed like the
moon's soft rays in a stagnant, pool, and
his tawny locks, shaggy as the cub lion's
mane, toyed idly with the zephers that
blew from old Pacific's shore to do him
homage. A siren charmed this modern
Ulysses and lured him from the storm
tossed waves of the capitol to the peaceful
haven of Albany. Tn this city, he
lectured upon the glory of God and
mused upon the loveliness of maiden. The
representatives of the press learned of
his infatuation and the next day the
papers of our sister city were .filled with
the adoration of Rev. Davis for one of
Albany's fair daughters. Their engage
ment was announced, and when the
young devine departed ior nome ana
mother half of Albany was out to see
him bid his charmer bye-bye.
But o't our fondest hopes decay, and
so it was with Albany's match-makers.
Rev. Davis wedded another and his
former love did likewise. Time passed
on. Oregon was startled by tne news
that the daughter of a former chief
justice was summoned to appear in the
police courts of New York City on a
charge of blackmailing. Now Rev. Davis
appears upon the scene to add comedy to
the erstwhile somber drama. He was
lecturing in the east, accompanied by
his wife, and visited Pet for she.it' was
who won his boyish heart in her cell in
the tombs, and wrote for the New York
World his experiences and courtship
with Fayne, beginning with their meet
ing at the state fair and his subsequent
flirtation with her from the pulpit at
Albany. He says :
In the motley multitude of teeming,
beaming faces I saw one face two pale
blue eyes were peering into mine with a
power I can never forget, and those eyes
as stars in a cerulean sky, were here
then Fayne Stralian'j now Mrs. William
A. E. Moore's. "
For one wee hour that day I was the
cynosure of every eye, but she was my
cynosure; we looked and understood
and heard the language which the seraphs
speak.
After my cloudless flight on that hot
day I stumbled back into the dusty world
safe, though bruised somewhat from my
landing. I remember the -applause, the
music, a hundred outstretched hands.
! I SDoke but beard not : I locksdinto the ,
- i - - - -.....
eddying crowd for one fair face but she j iulla'nx.
was gone.
' That night -the light of Venus shone
upoli my way. The daughter of a chief
justice, then lately deceased, but justly
remembered and revered, was then a
belle of Oregon, a beauty of popular
praise not one fangless tongue hissed ;
naught could be said in truth against the
child. We met and parted ; joys come
and die like spirits of fire. On my re
turn to the parental roof I told of my
triumphs, and of this told the secret
that others might help me keep it. One
morning much to my puerile pleasure, a
senile parishoner greeted me with effusive
congratulation : "Much joy ! I see our
poet-preacher is to wed a belle of Ore
gon." The story had been told. The
untimely announcement waa mutually
denied because of the recency of her
father's decease, but a tacit tie bound us
together. A twelvemonth later the bond
was broken as unintentionally and as
dispassionately as the oce?n currents drift
apart into the great unfathomable."
He also gives an extended account of
his interview with her in the tombs, in
which he declares her innocence. He
said: "I have read that she has given
vent to her grief in tears-l am glad,
they plead her innocence more than logic
or rnetoric." . tie closes theatrically:
A handshake, a glance of the eye as in
days of yore, and I am turned away.
From the tombs I passed out into the
world. The frail, fair woman waited for
the unknowable."
In his final message to the legislature
Governor Lord thus defines the aims
and objects of the Oregon Agricultural
College, and praises its present efficient
management:
"Our people, to a large extent, are en
gaged in -agricultural and industrial
purposes. A sound, practical education
along the lines of these callings cr voca
tions is a need of our people, and its
benefits to the state cannot be overesti
mated. To fill this want is the object of
the agricultural college in our educational
system. Its chief end and aim is to give
its students a thorough agricultural and
mechanical training, as distinct from
college or university courses. It is a
different education in practical results
from a university education, but is not
in conflict with it. In this age when so
many industrial projects require me
chanical or scientific education for their
management, the agricultural college
affords excellent opportunities for ac
quiring such an education. It is gratify
ing to know that the present management
of our agricultural college has been at
tended with unusual success, and that
its results in all departmenis are highly
satisfactory."
. Doings of City Dads.
At the regular meeting of the council
held Monday evening, eight councilmen
were present, and the usual smoothness
and harmony prevailed. '
The ordinance, recently passed by the
council, to raise the salary ot the night
watch to $45.00 was vetoed by the mayor
and Lee, Geo. Smith, Hayes and Taylor
sustained the veto, while Gibson, Jas.
Smith, Hall and Pygall opposed it. As
it required a two-thirds vote to pass
over the veto, the ordinance fails of
passage.
Au electric light was ordered placed at
the corner of 1st and Adam streets near
the C. & E. encline.
The application of Young America to
have a janitor appointed to care for the
building and fire apparatus was referred
to the fire and water committee.
A claim against the street fund for 50
cents was probably the lowest ever
brought against that fund. Bills on the
general fund to the amount of $338 were
allowed.
School Election.
The special school election occurs at
the court house between 1 and 3 o'clock
p. m. next Monday.- The following im
portant questions are to be decided at
that time: Shall a one and two-tenths
mill tax be levied to pay for improve
ments made to school property last sum
mer? Shalt a one and one-half mill tax
be levied to pay off oce of the ' out
standing bonds? Shall a one and one
tenth mill tax be levied -to pay the
interest on the outstanding debt? The
most important matter to be decided.

At the G. A. R. hall in this city lost
Saturday evening, occurred a public in
stallation of the officers of Ellsworth Post
and Jhe W. R. C, who will serve during
the jensuing year. Past Commander
W. G. Lane installed the new officers of
the Post, while Past President Isabelle
Horner performed a like service for the
Relief Corps. Mr. Sam Kerr, is the
newly elected commander and Mrs. Fan
nie Oren will be president of the corps
for this term. Speaches were made by
Mrs,' Oren, Mrs. Horner and W. G. Lane.
In retiring from the office ot Commander,
Mr. Lane said :
"Mrs. President: There is nothing,
perhaps, that I could say to interest this
assembly. And nothing f-hould be added
to the eloquent address of your installing
officer, Mrs. Horner. Her closing appeal
to the W. R. C, that the service of its
members for the coming year be dedi
cated to charity and loyalty and the
cherishing of a closer sisterhood in the
order would be a fitting benediction to
these exercises. And this appeals as
well to Elsworth Post as to the Relief
Corps:
"There is a solemnity about this oc
casion that impresses me strongly. These
old men with furrowed cheeks and tot
tering step are the remnant of that
mighty army that answered to their
country's call and went forth to battle
that the nation might live and its liber
ties be enjoyed by all. How well you
succeeded is a matter of history and
familiar to us all.
"The G. A. R. was organized that the
maimed and destitute comrades and
their families might be cared for; that
the principles for which they fought
might be maintained, not by force of
arms, but by inculcating a spmt ot
patriotism in the minds of all. How
well this has been done may be seen by
tne display ot our national colors in
every dwelling throughout the land ; by
the decoration of the graves 'of the
nation's dead ; by the patriotic exercises
of the school children all over the
country, and by the response of our
young men when war was declared with
Spain. All these indicate that this
grand work has not been in vain.
"But your work is about done. Other
hands must take it up and teach loyalty
to our country and love for the. flag
which has never been lowered to any
foe."

No Trace of A. K. Handy.
After a most diligent and thorough
search, organized parties who have been
scouring the hills and canyons of the
coast mountains that lie between Falls
City and the Siletz reservation, have
been unable to find any trace of Mr. A.
K. Handy, who was lost while hunting
with Mr. Fanno in that country two
weeks ago. A rumor was current last
Saturday that a party of searchers had
found a here the unf ortunate man had
been struggling in four feet of snow some
two and one-half miles from his home '
but this could not be verified.
Mr. Clifford Pugh. a resident of Falls
City, brought Mr. Handy's" two little,
sons to Corvallis, Saturday evening
from their home near Sugar Loaf. He
returned Monday morning, accompanied
by Mr. George Handy of McCoy, nephew
of the missing man, to join a party of
aearchers who wens to leave Falls City
that day.
At a meeting held in Salem last week,
the governor, secretary of state and state
treasurer, after an inspection of the sum
maries of assessment rolls of the state,
decided to fix the tax levy for 1899 at
5 7-10. The state tax for 1898 ws 3 1-2
mills. The increase in this years levy
over that of last year is said to be due to
unexpected items in the geueral appro- good cultivating land
priauon diu passed at tne special session ! M
of the legislature. '
itecentiy there arrived in Uorvallis a
little lady, who represents a large con
cern which carries on a wholesale traffic
in baking powder. She put her wares
on display in a local grocery store and
explained their merits to its customers.
She was as pretty as her photograph and
her laughing eyes were quivers filled
with Cupid's darts. Her demeanor was
ladylike and her every act, like Caesar's
wife, was auove suspicion. The first day
of her stay here, that grocer's 'clerk had
proclaimed her the idol - of his heart.
But there were others. The lady chanced
one day lo step into the store presided
over by a young bachelor. Her quiet
manner and sweet face stirred the inmost
soul of him, .After looking over his
stock of goods and finding nothing to her
liking she turned to leave. Her eyes
met his. She smiled. Oh, such a smile.
That young man's heart leaped into his
throat and choked him into insensibility.
When consciousness returned, he sat
down and wrote: "My fair one. Your
sweet smile encouraged me to pen you
this. .Name the hour aud the place
where we may meet. I come as swift as
thoughts of love. Lothario." The young
lady was true to her first friend, however,
and turned the note over to his keeping.
With that fiendishness born of jealousy,
the grocer's clerk is now exhibiting the
love laden epistle of his rival to the
vulgar gaze of the rabble.
"Alabama."
This delightful play one of Palmer's
most popular productions, which en
joyed a run of over 350 nights in New
York city will be given in Corvallis
at the opera house next Thursday
evening, Jan. 19th. It is produced by
a capable company which has appeared
in all the large cities of the West this
season. The San Francisco Examiner
of Dec. 13th, says ol them :
"The Alcazar was well filled last
evening, it being the first presentation of
a revival of Palmer's "Alabama." It is
well staged and, for the most part, well
played. The scenis effects of the third
and fourth acts are deserving of attention.
ueorge usuorne as uoionei Preston gave
one of those characterizations upon which
his reputation is founded. The Squire
Tucker of Frai.k Bacon was cleverly
done, and Clarence Montaine as the
fighting Colonel Moberly carried off the
honors of the play. The remainder of
the cast was in competent hands, and
"Alabama" can be safely termed another
successful Alcazar revival."
