Gilbert, chap lain of 'the' late Second Oregon. The theme of his lecture was the work of the Oregon boys in the Philippines and a de scription of that celebrated country. The church was crowded with eager lis teners and none were disappoipted, the lecture not only being an entertaining one but instructive as welL At i meeting of the commissoners court last Friday afternoon, a settlement was reached between the county of Ben ton and the city of Corvallis in the matter of taxes due the latter. The city had claimed $700 as her due, and the county judge had been instructed by the court to grant no .more than $400. But after much discussion, in which the city's in terests were looked after by councilmen Avery, Hays, Taylor, J, R. Smith and Gibson, the 'city accepted $500 as an equitable amount, with the understand ing that as taxes were collected on prop erty bid in by the county at tax sales the city was to receive her share. Attorneys J. H. Gibson aad J. H. Wilson will re ceive $150 for their services in searching the. records, which leaves $350 to be placed in the city's exchequer. Among tke many enterprises of this county which have been revived and built up during the past year is that of the Mountain Home Lumber Co. Some five years ago the property known as the Mason & Moore mill, seven miles south west of Philomath, felt the blight of hard times and discontinued operations, re maining idle until about a year ago when under the stimulus of McKinley pros perity and energetic management of its new owner, Mr. E. A. Child, it revived and has been doing its share of the lum- ber busiftess. Recently a company was organized under the name of the Moun tain Heme Lumber Co., and it is their intention to develop the enterprise into a thriving industry. They have an ele gant tract of magnificent timber. Mr. Child is president of the company. He came to Oregon from Wisconsin about a year ago and is much pleased with his new home. He is the founder of the first Christian Endeavor iudustrial school ever organized in this country and was its president for nine years. On leaving Wisconsin he appointed his successor, promising to return iu five years, or as soon as the health of himself and wife had improved, but prospects are so bright Tu Webfoot that his return to Wisconsin is doubtful.

A dispatch from Dr. . Geary of Port land, to this city Wednesday evening an nounced the death in the Philippines of his brother, Oapt. Woodbridge Geary, of the 13th infantry, who was shot Oct. 10, while on a recon noitering - expedition near San Fiancisco de Malabon and died Oct. II. ... Captain Geary, during his short resi dence in this city made many warm friends and news of his death was received as a severe shock by the entire commun ity. Upon receipt of the message, Mrs. Geary and family left imediately for A1-. bany where they took the overland for Portland. - " - ,; - ' "!. Capt." Woodbridge Geary was born in Linn county, Oregon, in 1857, and was the son of the lata Rev. R. E, Geary, a pioneer. Capt, Geary was one of six children. With his brothers and sisters he was brought up and educated in Linn and Lane counties, his higher education being received in Albany College.' In 1878 he passed the competitive examina tions for admission to West Point, and his . high standing ."' won for him great praise. At the military academy he proved himself a thorough student; and graduated with honors in 1882. Cemmidsioned a second lieutenant in the Nineteenth infantry, he was sent. to Tex as where he saw much service. In the Comanche war he commanded a band of Seminole-negro scouts, which had a splendid record for meritorious services. While in Texas he married. . After leaving Texas he was stationed in New York. Then he was transferred to Makinac, and subsequently to Sagi naw, Mich. He was appointed comman dant of the cadets of the OAC from the latter place in 1898. ' He bad been in his new position but three months when war with Spain was declared and he. was called to the front. He went to Puerto- Rico with Gen. Miles and while there was made a captain in the regular army. After a short furlough he was sent to the Philippines. No particulars of his death is given in the dispatches, but the following from Wednesday's cablegrams, probably tells the story: , ' The reconnoiterers, consisting of Cap- . tain Geary's battalion of the 13th regi ment and two guns of ' Riley's battery, drove the insurgents two miles, fighting all the way. They found a field piece and several wounded and sick Fillipinos flying red flags, and captured 25 insur gents, including three officers. Many Fillipino dead were strewn along the fields. The American total loss was one officer and seven men wounded. ' More About Blauchard. - Last week we published an article from the Salem Statesman relating to the mys terious disappearance- of C. H. Blanch ard, that paper claiming that Blanchard came from Corvallis, We stated that the unfortunate man was not a resident of this city. This was true. Investigation has brought out the following facts re garding him : He is a nephew of Mrs. Everett, who resides in Linn county, just east of Corvallis. He came to Oregon from the. Bast, early last spring and se cured a farm near Nashville. Here he made his home with occasional visits to Corvallis, and the home of his aunt. He was known as a man of thrifty habits and pleasant disposition, whose worst fault was love for drink. Some weeks ago, while in this city he got on a spree and was placed in the city jail. When, he became sober he seemed much ashamed of his actions while drunk, and wishing to avoid his relatives, went to. Salem, walking the entire distance. - The sequel has already been published. . TROUBLE AT MONROE. If reports are true. Monroe was the scene of a young riot Tuesday. The: parties to the conflict, were Bud Lootiey, the postmaster, and the Messrs Wilhelm. It appears that these parties have aot had a brotherly affection for each . other for some time, and the Withelms have refused to patronize the postoffice. Now, as the postmaster received remuneration only in proportion to the number of let ters cancelled, and the firm of Wilhelm & Son is a large concern and has much cor respondence, absence of their mail cuts quite a figure. Mr. Looney's little son carries the mail to Junction and it has been the custom for the above firm to have him take the mail direct from their store. Tuesday he refused, and he .was told in forcible language what Messers Wilhelm thought of him. The elder Looney overheard the remarks and he took the Wilhelms to task. Hard words followed, blows were struck, and only the interference of citi zens prevented bloodshed. . Call for Warrants. ' , I hereby give notice that I have money on hand to, pay city warrants endorsed prior to January 12-, 1898.' Interest will stop on same after this date, October 13, 1899. - ' " ' Wm. McLAGAN,' City Treasurer. be redeemed on presentation. Callaliaii THAT PIECE OF ROAD. Tlie county road sooth of town, abont which so much has been said and so lit tle done, is at last being systematically improved. Much prating about the mat ter in the.- papers accomplished some-r thing, but it remained for the business men to have actual operations com menced. " At its September meeting the county court offered to appropriate an amount equal to the aggregate of all sums con tributed by private citizens for the better ment of this road. F. L. Miller drew up and circulated a petition among business men asking for contributions to the fund with the result that over $400 was sub scribed. A paper is being circulated among the farmers, and it is estimated that at leass $500 will be subscribed be fore November 1st at which time the court's offer expires. Under the able su pervision of C. B. Wells, who has charge of the work, much can be accomplished with the economical expenditure of fl,000. : : y Work was commenced last Monday, with 12 teams hauling gravel. These were increased to 26, Wednesday. Ten shovelers are employed, whose wages are $1.75 per day. The road scraper and two plows are being used, with fair results, the ground being very hard. The men with plows are paid $3 per day. Over 500 loads of gravel have already been placed on the road at an average cost of 33 cents per load. . . DEATH Of A PIONEER. Mrs. Lttcluda Wtightsntatt Dies at The age Of 90 Years. At her home on Soap creek last Saturday night occurred the death of one of the oldest pioneers in the state, Mrs. Lu cinda Wrightsman, a. pioneer of 1845. At the time of her death, Mrs. Wrights man was aged 90 years and- five months, She- was born in North ' Carolina in the year 1809, and while yet a young girl removed with her parents to Mis souri. Her maiden name was Lucinda Officer. In 1835 she married Francis Wrightsman and shortly after their marriage they moved to Grand River, Missouri, where they resided for eight or more years. They then moved to what was known as the Piatt purchase, An drew county ia the same state, where they lived until the year 1847. . In May of the latter year, Mr. and Mrs. Wrightsman with their family of eight Children, started with ox teams across the plains to Oregon, arriving in Benton county in October. Mr. Wrightsman at once purchased the donation claim of Da vid Stump, in Soap creek precinct, which has ever since been their family Lome. " Mr. Wrightsman died in July, 1877 Mrs. Wrightsman bad enjoyed compara tively robust health for one of her age until a few weekj ago, when, in a fall she sustained injuries from which she never recovered and which resulted in ner death five days ago. The injury re ceived was a fracture of the hip. Mrs. Wrightsman has long held the respect of those about her, being a lady of a retired and quiet disposition. The funeral services were conducted by Dr. Thompson on last Monday afternoon. Theremaias were laid to rest in the Locke cemeteey. The City's Business. At a regular meeting of the city coun cil last Monday evening five councilmea were present. Very little business was transacted, the most noticeable feature being the absence of ordinances pertaining to bicycles. The mayor's veto of the ordinance per mitting drays and delivery wagons to run without a license was sustained by a a vote of three to two. The 'chief of police was instructed to serve notice on 100 property owners more, or less, to build and repair sidewalks in accordance with section 4 of an . ordi nance passed September 11 , 1899. . In the matter of settlement of the dis pute over taxes due the city from Benton county, the police judge was ordered to draw the county warrant for $500, sell it, and deposit the funds with the city treas urer. Bills were allowed on the general fund amounting to $461.25 and $34.80 on the street fund. Real Estate Transfers. Real estate transactions for the week ending October 11, 1899 : Esther J.

Taylor, they live in Alsea and have never, so far as people around here know, don anything in the distant past that they might be ashamed of, but developments in a case of late in .which these two peo-. pie are interested, go to prove that they are capable of doing things that have sent others to the state penitentrary - Gathering chittem bark and selling it is an industry that many people of Alsea find profit in, and among these people are Fleece and Taylor. Wilhelm & Sons, of Monroe buy all the chittem bark that is brought them by the Alsea people, and on last Jmday they made a discovery that showed they had not been too care ful in their examination of the sacks of bark brought them. On an examination on last Friday of . the sacks of chittem brought by Fleece and Taylor, it was found that besides a little chittem, the sacks contained fir and oak bark, stones and other things that were much more plentiful and easily gathered than chittem, but do not contain the medical properties capable of removing rheumatism, lame back and other chronic diseases that chittem is guar anteed to cure. " On Saturday morning Fleece came in to Monroe with a"hother load of his bark, but the report of the discovery was float ing ia the air, . and scenting his danger Fleece turned his wagon and started back for his home in the mountains of Alsea. Officers, however, had been warned of his approach and starting after him over took him a few miles from Monroe. Fleece was brought to Corvallis Wedn esday night and incarcerated in the county jail, ia default of $500 bonds as sessed by M. M. Waltz, Justice of the Peace fos Mohrye. Taylor is still at large. THE THIRTEEN CLUB. There are few reading clubs in the state which have been more successful in then- organization and operation than the Thirteen Club of this city. Speaking of this club, the Oregonian of Monday says : The Thirteen Club, of Corvallis, Or., is the outgrowth of a desire for intellectnal recreation and intercourse. It aims to encourage a habit of study and serious thought, and to develop a taste for prof itable reading. Named in playful . de precation of a popular snperstition, it was at first limited to 13 members ; but the rule is now broken occasionally to admit those espically desirable. It is rare, however, that more than 13 meet at one time for study, and great care is tak en to elect only women who are con genial to the entire membership, and who will uphold the standard of study. Organized in 1892, the club has met at the heme of one of its members every Monday evening since that time, except ing in vacation. Its officers are a pres ident and secretary, and its business is transacted by committees. The first president was Mrs. F. L. Washburn, now of Eugene, who had been active in its or ganization, and who held the office until her removal from the tows, when L. A. Pernot was elected and still serves. The club has had no reason to change its very efficient secretary, and still enjoys the assistance of the first one elected, Mrs. Ida Callahan. . A rudlmental rule with the club has been to select only those books which are of interest to all the members, hence the course has been more discursive and eclectic than is desirable. Nevetheless, the mental horizon has been so bright ened and enlarged, the pleasure and in-1 tellectual stimulus of associated study have been so great, that the members are still ardently loyal and enthusiastic; aad earnestly recommend the organiza tion of similar clubs in every town and village. The club has been called upon to mourn the loss, by death or by remov al, of many of its best members, but the mantel of their enthusiasm seems to fall mponthe new members, who quickly become imbued with the "esprit de corps wnicn characterizes uie society, so that the work is taken up each year with unabated seal and interest, and hopefui outlook for the future. Court -Notes. The following suits have been begun in the circuit court which convenes the first Monday in November; A. Wilhelm & Sons vs J. C. Looney to recover money. . v J. B. Tillotson vs H. F.
