"It was a blue looking crowd of farmers that stood in groups on-ihe street corners on Monday, discussing the prospects of a failure of the wheat crop, or watched the dark clouds, as they appeared on the crest of Mary's Peak to scatter their moisture over the wheatfields of the val ley and hills. .... . .

The railroad at present .is a considerable distance in the air through there are in terested people at the back of it; and it is hoped that the railroad will be a success as it will rnn through a vast area of rich farming country that is at , present void of a railroad but that is in need of one. There is money in the goat and that humble creature may have a great future before him in this country yet.' The department of agriculture has taken the goat up seriously, and says there is plenty of money in him as he is much hardier than the sheep and can be grown at much less expense. Goat's flesh is pronounced superior - to mutton, , and eastern markets seek it eagerly. The Willamette Valley goat may soon be per mitted to occupy, a place of dignified respectability in the hustling world of commerce. - Last Friday, night the opera house was thronged with a crowd of people carious to see the wouders and curiosities brought by the soldier boys from across the sea. It was a sight worth seeing and. one would wonder how such a museum could have been gathered by such a few. The collection comprised the " arms, equipments and paraphernalia of cam paign life ; then there were shells, orna ments, beads, cutlery, silken stuffs, images, cigarettes,-, cigars, moneys, and scores of things, too numerous to men tion, but they were well worth seeing and were highly enjoyed. While the climatic conditions have been such that the fruit crop will be considerably less in Oregon this -year than for Borne time, the indications are such that it can be easily seen that there will be plenty for local use. There is one interesting fact which is very c ticable to the people of Oregon, and that is if there are unfavorable indications for fruit or other crops they . at once get scared for fear of a failing of crops not withstanding the fact that there was never known in this state anything like a halt lauure ot crops, ana with one or two exceptions we have even been ex porters of fruits every year since the state became well settled and fruit raising became an industry. Suprintendent Denman has just com pleted the grading of the papers of the applicants for the county graduating; di ploma under the county classification.

Mr. Cal Thresher, agent for the Oregon Fire , Relief .

'. In the first place the amount of the policy held was only $600 and this was paid in full several days ago.

Some step should be taken by the people wh find it necessary to use the road to have it improved, such a movement would not only be a benefit to those who dwell in the south part of the county, but-to all Benton. About the only way that the farmers in that district will be able to get in and out next winter will be by boat and this will be found a slow method of navigating, The value of South Benton farms would be increased 40 or ou per cent by having a good road . leading to them a road that could be easily travel ed during all times of the year. ; Such a road can only be secured by a great amount of money and labor, and this in turn can ,only be secured : by A vast amount of patience and trouble on the part of those who are interested in the matter, if our Monroe road was im proved the value of adjoining property would be greatly increased.

A Pathetic Story of a Cruet Has band and a Bliglited and Miser able Home. The peaceful, dreamy little town of Philomath had its usual quiet rudely dis turbed last Saturday afternoon by a re port brought in that a tragedy . had oc curred at the home of E. B. Dutcher, a recent arrival, and the evidence pointed to murder. Investigation brought out the fact that Mrs. Dutcher had died from poisoning and the circumstances surrounding the case demanded the at tention of the coroner. Justice E. R. Bryson of this city, was summoned, and proceeded to the Dutcher home, four miles southwest- of Philomath, where he empanelled the following jury and pro ceeded with the taking of evidence: S. N. Wilkins, G. A. Robinson, H. N. Rebinson, S.. P. Smith, W. R.Dixon and A-Mann. The statements of the hushand and oth er witnesses, brought out a pathetic sto ry of domestic unhappiness,.. a home where father and, mother had long since ceased to love and where respect for each other had dwindled into tnere tolerance, There was no evidence, as has been published, to implicate the husband in the woman's taking off. That is no physical violence or mysterious methods, no act which would bring him within the grasp of the law. . That his harsh treatment and cruel coldness are resposible for his wife's 1 rash act is beyond;- question, and that she was iu a measure responsible for her .condition is also in evidence. On the stand Mr. Dutcher: showed scant re spect for his wife'irtnemory, and bio tes timony shocked the 'spectators by its al most brutal coldnesS.' . ;2 Mrs. Dutcher,' wfiom it appears had a most nervous "disposition, had - made repeated attempts upbn her life, and at the time of her death was suffering from the effects of carbolic acid poisoning tak en twelve days before. . Dutcher testified that on the morning of the tragedy he had risen first, as usual and after lighting the fire, went about his chores. His work completed, he found breakfast prepared and on the table. A glass ou the table gave evi dence that his wife had eaten a. raw egg, as was her custom- since taking the car bolic acid, which had made her mouth extremely soie. --While eating, he heard a peculiar noise inrhis wife's bedroom. ' Heating Plant, Now in Course and going to her fouad her in convul sions. He. immediately sent for Dr. Newth, who upon arriving gave the woman medicine. When he left he gave Dutcher instructions to administer the medicine every hour and to bathe her hands and limbs - with warm water, which he claims he did, and the evi dence supports him in this. At quarter to three Mrs. Dutcher took her medicine, An hour later, when her husband en tered her room to administer it again he found her in convulsions. He could do nothing with-1 her and left the room, returning in ten minutes when he found her dead. . "Why should your wife" wish to com mit suicide?" ' he was asked. Dutcher replied that she didn't like to live on a ranch. She wanted 16 be in a city, where she could fool ar'ound buying fan-; cy drygoods and get icecream and candy. But when they tried city life he expressed a desire to live in the country, which she considered a better place for her children.-.. She was irritable and nervous, and had fits of despondency and crying spells. -t Doctors had advised him not to humor her at these times, and he used to scold and curse her, and she would end the matter by attempting suicide. - . Twas the old story of a woman whose nature called for sympathy and devotion and kindness, from a husband who had none of it to give her. He had never struck her, except on one occasion some few weeks ago, when she had aggravated him by awearing m the - presence . of their children against his protest, and then he had slapped her. Dr. Newth, who had been called to assist the woman when she had attemp ted her life with carbolic acid, testifi ed that he believed her death was due to its effects and the feable condition of her health resulting from mental toiture He was aware of Dutcher's disrespect for his wife and her aversion for him. When summoned to her bedside on the occa sion of her attempt at suicide he had met Dutcher who said, "You needn't bother going there, that's my wife. Let her sweat it out." -, J At one time Mrs. Dutcher had called at the the doctor's office for consultation She spoke of her unhappy life, and said she wanted a divorce, but her husband had never struck her, or done: anything which would secure her relief from mat' rimonial bondage, but that she would aggravate him into striking her and then she would apply for a divorce. E.l. Bryan was passing at the time, and the doctor, called him in, hoping that his being & lawyer might enable him to give the woman advice which would be wholesome. Dr. Altman, who had been summoned to examine the woman and give expert testimony as to the cause of death, stated that from what he had been able to as certain from a thorough examination of the body," and the testimony of the hus band regarding the nature of her con vulsions he believed that she had died from poisoning; in all probability strychnia. His theory on this point did not agree with that of Dr. Newth and left the jury undecided as to the cause of death, their verdict being that she died from convulsions, cause unknown. The funeral occurred Sunday afternoon and interment was made near the Simon son place. ' MICHA COLD FEET. I A Disease Which Emanuel Dobles Claims Was Chronic With the Spanish. " Emanuel Robles, Phliioino pickaninnv. late of Manila, but now mucha buena Americano, vieited Corvallis last week in company with his foster father, Charles Whitney, of Co. M., 2nd Oregon, and took part in the volunteer exhibit, where he was the observed of all observers. Emanuel is only fourteen years of aee. but he is as bright as a new copper and as cute as a young monkey. He called on the JJnioa-Gazette aud impressed us of Construction. with the belief that in adding the Filipi nos to his census list, Uncle Sam will make no mistake, if they are all like Emanuel, . He is keen, observing, polite, and shows a nature susceptahle of refine ment by his passonate love for music and the freedom of his conversation, from coarseness or vulgarity.; There is a prac tical side to his nature, too, for he was much impressed with the bustle and stir of San Francisco and the grand opportu nities offered here for making money. . He is as playful as a kitten and his droll manner is most amusing. He is as much superior to the Chinaman, Indian, or Jap in mental endowment as his white brother is to the negro, and may well be called the ''Yankee of the East." Emanuel was an eye witness to Dewey's destruction of the Spanish fleet, and his description . of the battle, supplemented as it was with gestures and facial grimaces was interesting and graphic. "It was four o'clock in the morning," said he, "when, puff! puff! I hear the guns at Cavite. Pretty . soon, b-o-o-m ! b-o-o-m ! Americano cannon ; mucha grander Spanish general, run around. He look mad; mucha comb atir. Spanish soldier cry ; vamoose el casa ; mucha cold feet. Dewey's cannon b-o-o-m! b-o-o m! hit hard. Spaniard, whiff, whiff ; mucha loco." Here he made a gesture indica ting that the Spanish were shooting cra- zily in the air. When the smoke cleared the American vessels were riding calmly on the waters, apparently uninjured, while only Spanish masts rose aboye the snr- face of the bay. - All this was made plain by gestures and a steady flow of pure Spanish. A special meeting of the OAC Alumni association will be held Saturday even' ing at 8 o'clock p. m.'' at the offices of Yates, Yates & Gibson for the purpose of transacting important business. A full attendance is desired. J. F. Yates, Helen Holgate, President. " Secretary. NOTICE. Persons desiring to locate on timber claims tributary , to the C. & E. It.

Not Since That Time Have Oregon Far mers Had Such Conditions to Contend -. With. - The unusual summer rain that has just passed i3 unprecedented for at least a period of 25 years in the history of Ore gon. A great many of our old pioneers and Oregonians tell of a time about 30 years ago When tnere fs'aa a lafge Au gust rain so much in fact that the standing grain, that which was cut and all that was exposed to the weather was totally, ruined." The rain fell for weeks, not steadily but at intervals, and during the intermissions the grain was taken from the fields and hauled to the warehouses, barns, . sheds and any place where a shelter could be found. Here it was stirred and stirred by the anxious farmer during the many long, weary days while the little rain drops pattered on the roof or beat a tattoo on the window-pane. . That was thirty years ago and prob ably Oregon has been all these years in getting her climatic condition the same as it was theu. She evidently did it and the present raiu was the result. The records of the state weather bureau cover a period of 29 years, and those rocords fail to show any weather even approxi mating that which has prevailed this month, which proves that such spells are only spasmodic with Webfoot at this time of the season. In August, 1896, rain fell from the 1st to the 6th, but it was followed by warm, 'clear weatfler; in 1891 rain fell on the 13th and 14th and again from the 26th to the end of the month ; in 1879 rain fell from the 20th , to 28th inclusive. These are the only years on record having any unusual weather, hence this year is an unprece dented one. Since the rains began on the 9th from 1 to 3 inches of rain has fallen. Harvesting fall sown grain is prac tically at a stand still. Reports vary as to damage to the shocked wheat. Tele grapic reports received today state that sprouting has commenced in the shocked wheat and also ia that .which is yet uncut. - No serious or general damage has yet occurred, though should current conditions continue, which is not prob able, much damage will result. The fall-sown grain is all ready to be cut, and the rains have- caused it to fall and lodge, Some loss will result, no . matter how soon fair weather again sets in, The rains have been ef great benefit to spring-sown grain, and especially to that which was late sown. Within a week after fair, warm weather sets in, the spring gram will be ready to harvest The rains have put the soil in good con- ditition and plowing has already com' menced. ' " Gtaaa which had commenced to dry up, has been-revived, making the second crop of clover as promising as. the first crop turned out to be. , Potatoes have an excellent growth and a large crop appears to be assured. Gar den produce of all kinds has been great ly benefitted by the rains and. good, gar den crops are assured. The oaion crop of Washington county is superior to that of former j-ears. Hop growers report their hops in better condition than ever before. There are fewer lice than for years. The vines are clean .and healthy and are well filled with burrs or cones, The rains have in creased the size of the burrs, so that un less adverse conditions prevail, an extra good clean hop crop will be secured, Lice are fewer than they were one week ago. , - , - Peaches are ripening in the southern counties. Watermelons, apples and pears are slowly ripening. The rains have cracked a few plums. The prunes are reported to be of better size and of a more marketable appearance than usual. - THE COUNCIL DID IT. Irate Wheelmen Save a Rod In Pickle for The City Dads. ' lnings may assume a monotony lor a time in Corvallis, but . this lassitude is never permitted to grow chronic. The latest incentive to lingual action is the bicycle ordinance passed by the city council at its call meeting Tuesday eve ning. ' It now awaits the signature of the mayor to become a law. The ordinance is looked upon by many wheelmen as another link in what resembles, a con spiracy to bar bicycles, from the side walks altogether. Some months ago an Ordinance was passed through the hands of the fathers confining ; wheels " to the use of certain sidewalks ; the one acted upon Tuesday evening makes it a mis-, demeanor to ride upon any walk within the city limits at any time between July, 1st and October 1st. Dire threats have been made by the devotees of the wheel if the ordinance succeeds. But as soon as the justice of the act becomes appar ent, all ill feeling will disappear, There was only one dissenting -vote u its pas sage; tnat ot Jttayes. - Prof. Skelton asked for .an extension of time in reporting plans and spechca tions for building a sewer, and was grant ed until Thursday . evening. Police Judge Greffoz was instructed and auth orized to enter into a contract with Prof. Skelton, empowering the latter to su- printend the constrution of a sewer sys tem in accordance with plans adopted by the council. An ordinance passed its first and sec ond readings giving the city power to improve or build sidewalks and col lect costs from the adjoining property, where the owner refused or neglected to give same his attention, iu accordance with the recent amended charter which gives the council power to enact such a law. Bills were allowed on the general fund amounting to $303 and $148 on the street fund. TO EXCHANGE.
