The fire lads were brought out on the
run Tuesday evening by the wild clamor
of the alarm bell.'and citizens raced helter
skelter looking vainly for the flames.
Investigation proved, however, that the
fire was confined within the irou walls
of the furnace at the planing mills. A
door had been left open, and some ladies
at the Occidental, a block away, saw the
reflection and imagined the entire build
ing on fire. They sounded an alarm and
the brigade was out before the mistake
was discovered.
John Hunter was the victim of a severe
accident last Friday, from which he is
still a sufferer. Mounted upon a young
horse, he was in the act of driving some
animals from a pasture. One, an otd
mare, refused to go and laid back her
ears threatingly. To frighten her, John
slapped his stirrups with a strap, but
this startled the colt and he jumped
against the other animal, which began
kicking. Her heels pounded John's leg
until it was fearfully bruised. He was
brought to town and a physician sum
moned, but at last accounts, he had no
use of the injured limb.

Through the deed the doer is glorified,

cious eloquence." -
Of the many brave boys from Corvallis
who served the flag in the Philippines,
it was willed that out one should give
his life for his country, Lyman Kelsay,
the hardiest of them all. Alter many
acts of fortitude and courage, he was
stricken with tonsilitis and died in the
hospital at Manila, May 29, 1899.
It had - not been given to "Pat"
to shine in social set, to lead jn
business circles, or dominate in the
political arena. But there was a man
hood in his look and a nobleness of pur
pose that endeared him to - everyone.
Faults he had, and many; but there was
rugged honesty, and courage and good
ness of heart that outweighed them all.
By the fond act of a government,
never equaled in the annals of war,' the
nation's dead is being brought home for
burial. Lyman's body arrived Monday
and it was met at the depot by Knights
of Pythias and Spanish War Veterans,
under whose auspices the services were
conducted, and he Ladies' Emergency
Corp3. By these organizations it was
escorted to ,, the, opera house, and there
draped iu the Stars and Stripes it laid
in state, guarded by brothers in heart
and brothers in arms.
The arrangements for thejuneral were
in the hands of the Knights of Pythias
and the credit for their successful and
skillful carrying out is'due .particularly
to Knight E.' R. Bryson. . The lower
floor of the opera house was reserved for
the organizations above-named and the
cadets and band from the college. On
the stage were Dr. E. J. Thompson, Rev.
Mark Noble.Wudge "V. S. McFadden,
J udge John Burnett, a ad the quartet,
Messrs. Fulton, Cuthey, Prichard and
Johnson. The galleries were thrown
open to the public and weie filled to
overflowing. After prayer by Dr.
Thompson, the beautfful quartet, "Prayer
Before Battle," was solemnly rendered.
Prayer by Rev. Noble, and the song
Silently, Tenderly," by the quartet
preceded aa c.'oquent address by Judge
Burnett. He had known Lyman from
his earliest childhood, "and as he paid
tribute to his manly worth, sobs choked
his voice and tears welled from the eyes
of his auditors. At the close of his re
marks, the cadet band played "Twilight
Dews." Judge McFadden then spoke
of Lyman as he knew him. He had
watched ' him from infancy and had
found him ever the protector ef the weak,
the champion of his city and state, and
a lover of honesty and fair play. The
speaker's words were ' impressive and I
eloquent and his every utterance reached
the heart. "Consolation,'' by the quar
tet followed, and Dr. Thompaou spoke
briefly, closing the services.
The procession lormed iu the follow
ing order and moved to Crystal Lake
cemetery:
Cadet band; firing squad; honorary
pall bearers; O A C battalion; Women's
Emergency Corps ; Spanish War Veter
ans; Ivnights oi Xythias and citizens.
making the longest fuueral cortege ever
witnessed in this city.
At the grave the services were con
ducted by the Knights. Dr. Bowen Les
ter delivered thfi burial service of the
ritual impressively. Dr. Thompson said
a few last 'words, tho solemn notes of
Depaited Days" were played by thejband
and three sharp volleys were delivered
by the firing squad. While their echoes
were replying from the banks of the
Willamette, the sad strains of "taps'
were blown by bugler Clark.
When the mound had been gracefully
rounded, the ladies of the Emergency
Corps, who had shown the ' body every
mark ef tenderness and respect from the
moment of its arrival, heaped it high
with beautiful, flowers. No words can
express the brotnerly and generous acts
of the Knights of Pythias in the recep
tion and burial of this heroic member o
their order. Through their efforts the
body was brought to Coryallis and every
wish of Lyman's mother and sister, rvho
reside in California was complied wth,

E. R. Watts Murdered.
For the past week, San Franciace
paners have been filled with details cf
the murder of R. R. Watts, and pictures
of his supposed murderer and the scene
of the crime. Robert Watts came to
Corvallis from Oregon City with his fam
ily some two years ago. Shortly after
their arrival his wife died, and leaving
his little soa with the grandmother, Mrs.
Randall, Watts went to California. Dur
ing his absence he has sent home regu
larly an allowance for the care of his
ssn . Last Friday Minor Swick received
a telegram from Sacramento telling of the
finding-of the body of Watts.
The Examiner gives these details of
the murder: ,'Tho body of R. R. Watts,
a miner that had been murdered, was
accidently discovered by boy3 this after
noon in the brush beside a railroad
embankment in an out of the way place.
The head shows two deep cuta on the left
side, while the back of the skull was
crushed. It is believed that the murder
er used two heavy rocks, : which .were
found near the body, to kill Watts.
From the appearance of the body the
man must have been dead for a week, if
not ten days. A watch and chain,
a Masonic emblem and a diamond pin
the deceased was known to have carried
ore missing. N Letters written by his
little sou and his mother-in-law from
this city were found on the body .
It seems that . after arriving in San
Francisco, Watts was led into buying
some stocks in some alleged mining
property, by a Mrs. M. E. Brouheart,
who conducts an employ me nt agency in
San Francisco. A condition of the
bargain was that , Watts should put in
some labor oa the mine. He is reported
as saying the woman had swindled him
in a mining transaction, and she says He
told her that unless he gave her $50 he
would appear against her in a case now
pending against her for a fraud in the
courts of San Francisco. Watts brother
from Redding,- California, is now in
Frisca and the search for the guilty
parties is being vigorously prosecuted,
The diamond pin and other " articles
missing from the body of Watts were
found in a Frisco pawn shop. - Although
the pawn broker could not identify the
husband of Mrs. Brouheart as the man
who had pawned them, he is now in jail
and evidence is accumulating against
him.
G. W. Odell, who manages Mrs.
Brouhesrl's business says he first Eaw
Watts last December and that he came
here as a result of correspondence be
tween him and Mrs. Brouheart. He had
worked on her mine in Oleta. He was
a drinking man, and once he loaned
him money to pay his way to Oleta.

A Beantifnl Play Presented
- fcssional Manner.
f "''' ..-
Last Friday night the local dramatic
club of which' Mr. B. W. Johnson is the
organizer and manager aud Mr. G. L,
Paul, stage director, presented to a large
and appreciative audience that delight
ful English: melodrama, "Sweet Laven
der." The club is very "fortunate in its
selection of plays. Both "Sweet Laven
der" aud the farce-comedy, "My Friend
From India," "presented a lew months
since, are strictlv high class as well as
popular plays.
"Sweet Lavender'-' is the story of the
love of the adopted son, and the un
recognized, illegitimate daughter of a
London . banker, Clement Hale and
"Sweet" Lavender Holt. The father
bitterly opposes his adopted son's pro
posed ; morganatic marriage, until the
softening influences of sickness and
threatened poverty revive hi3 affection
for the discarded sweetheart of his youth
whom he recognizes in Lavender's
mother and learning from her Lavender's
identity he cheerfully consents to the
union of his adopted son and his'newly
found danghter.
Miss Frank'ie Cauthoni, in the title
role, .was a charming ingenue aud Mr.
Alex Rennie, ' as the lover, - sustained
most creditably a part so often impossi
ble, for amateurs. Mrs. B. W. John
son's interpretation of the leading feuale
role, Lavender's mother, was nearly per
fect and ' her skillful execution of the
difficul t work called for in this part adds
to her reputation as a strong and re
sourceful actress."
The principal male character is Dick
Phenyl, the devoted and self-sacrificing
friend of Mrs. Holt, .Lavender and Cle
ment. Dick Phenyl is a barrister of the
Inner Temple, broken down, shiftless,
dissolute and a prey to human weakness,
but withal full of human sympathy and
noble in his self-abnegation and his
honorable nature. In this part, which is
the heart of the play, and which manv
of our greatest actors, including Charles
King and Henry Miller, have not deemed
unworthy their effort, Mr. George Paul
showed a high order of talent, ertipsing
nil former efforts before Corvallis
audiences. Mr. Paul's conception of
this eccentric and erratic character, with
his nobility of soul ever struggling with,
and shining luminous above, his human
weakness and vice, was scholarly and
strong, and his masterly execution out of
the range of the amateur. If Mr. Paul
sees fit to enter the theatrical profession
a bright future certainly awaits him.
Mr. Woodson, as the benevolent phy
sician, Mr. Harry Holgate, in the double
role of hairressar and counselor-at-law,
and Mr. B. W. Johnson as the banker
and polished man of the world, all took
their parts well and showed considerable
talent.
The mirth-provoking scenes between
the aristocratic Mrs. Gilfillian, her lov
able daughter and the obstreperous
American, Mr. Braeme, formed a pleas
ing side light to the drama. Miss Lin
ville took the part of the daughter and
society belle most gracefully,- her sceues
with Clement Hale' deserving special
mention. Miss Hamilton, as the aristo
cratic society womandid not have great
opportunities, but her careful systematic
reading of her lines, her fine . perception
and skillful rendition of her pari indi
cate resources that have not been drawn
upon before Corvallis ; audiences. Miss
Hamilton's friends desire to see her in
more' difficult and important roles.
Mr. Scoggings in the part ' of Mr.
Braeme was possibly too explosive, but
if this was an error in conception of
the rirt it was certainly an error in the
right direction, and he iff entitled, to
great credit for the manner in which he
lost his identity in, and sustained
throughout, the part of the ubiquitous
and redoubtable American.
The best thing that can he said of the
performance as a whole is that it was
not the least "amateurish;" indeed it
was far superior to most of the produc
tions of traveling companies witnessed
here. The work of this company is
highly appreciated by Corvallis theatre
goers and another production is eagerly
anticipated . - X i

The city council met in regular session
Monday night. No matters of serious
importance were considered.
. The finance committee was instructed
to consult with the city attornev as to
the advisibility of. submitting the ques
tion of bonding the city for $10,030, at
the next city election, .as provided for
under the city charter.
The question of purchasing more hose
for the fire department was not favorably
considered. . .
A petition asking that the streets be
opened through a strip of land lying
between Job's and Wilkin's addUions to
Corvallis was referred to tho street
committee. This strip of land is about a
quarter of a mile long. At its widest
part it is only luu leet, ana runs to a
point atits other extremity.
Bills were allowed amounting to $293
on the general and $71.83 on the street
funds.

Burden on the Lord," Dr. Thompson
then read a passage from the scriptures
after which a solo, "Nearer My Home,"
was sung. The sermon was a simple
but eloquent tribute to the dead hero.

with the fight, don't mind me."
