Sunday morning Tommy Camer
on started bright and early on his

ty" found a watch near h s resi
dence. It was uninjured and was
clicking along quite merrily. After

A f MM FALL
Thomas Wyatt Falls From a Load of Straw
and Loses His Life.
Late in the evening, Monday,
Charley Overlander arrived in
this city and reported the death
of Thomas Wyatf, whose home
was near Philomath. From Mr.
Overlander and others statements
it appears that Mr. Wyatt and
two boys by the name ot Steven
son, aged about ten and twelve
years, were hauling straw.
This accident occurred late in
the afternoon. When the wagon
was loaded Mr. Wyatt started to
drive away and in crossing the
field the fore wheels of the
wagon "chucked" down into a
a dead furrow. This brought
the wagon to a sudden stop aud
Mr. Wyatt was pitched forward
on his head. The exact result
of the fall could not be learned,
and there are two reports, one is
that the neck was broken, while
the other states that the gentle
man struck the tongue or whip-
pletrees and death ensued as the
result of injury to the brain.
While falling he attempted to
say something to the boys, but
it was unintelligible and he
never spoke again as death was
instantaneous.
The deceased was a brother of
Wm. Wyatt, and was aged some
where between 75 and 80 years.
It is stated that he was a native
of England and that he came to
Benton county, in company with
his brother, some time in the
4o's. His wife died a few years
ago, but three sons sunvive him
and they are located at different
points of the coast.
A year or two ago Mr. Wyatt
fell from a load of straw in
almost the same manner and his
friends cautioned him then about
the risk he ran on account of
his great age, but he laughed at
the idea. At the time of his
first fall it was thought he was
dead, as the shock rendered him
insensible for quite awhile.
The remains were interred
Wednesday, in the Newton oem
etery. Additional Local
A drive of 150,000 feet of fir logs
have been arriving at the sawmill
for the past few days.

uels, at Junction City. She ex
pects to be absent a week or ten
days.
During Wednesday night there
was a thunder storm that resem
bled in a small way what the East
can do in this line. The storm
ended with quite a down-pour of
rain.
Services will be resumed at the
Presbyterian church next Sabbath.

Chase, died at his son's residence

well-known resident of Corvallis.

A Pig Story.
There is an old story of a ' 'pig
in a poke," and a more modern
one of a "pig in a post-hole,'
Dur. nere is a true story witn a
pig as tne nero or neroine, we
are in doubt which. Mr. Lead-
better, who lives west of town is
the owner of a fine Jersey cow
which recently became a mother,
aud a pig just blossoming mto
hoghood. Fhe other day Mr-
Leadbetter heard squeals of lam
entation issuing from the pig,
and hurrying to the barnyard,
discovered the Jersey with
her calf nursing on one
side of her and the pig sucking
away on the other. By sitting
on its haunches piggy could just
seize a teat in its mouth, but the
calf was not satisfied with its
allowance and kept butting for
more. This Would jar piggy
loose, and she would rear back
and squeal. The Corvallis cam
era club at its last meeting
settled upon a date to visit Mr.
Leadbetter' s farm and get some
views of this strange natural
phenomenon.
Another Grain Theft.
Some two or three weeks ago
a wagon load of grain was stolen
from the field of Jesse Walker,
as was reported at that time. Al
though certam parties are sus-
picioned there is a lack of evi
dence that will convict and so
far thev have been unmolested.
A week ago thirteen saoks of
oats and four or five sacks of
wheat were stolen from the field
of E. Skipton, near Philomath.
A warrant was sworn out and
the constable of that precinct
made a search, but on account of
lack of evidence in this case,
as in the former one of similar
nature, no arrests were made.
Mr. Skipton had placed a bov on
watch in his grain field and the
latter remained late enough to
warrant his thinking that all
danger of theft that night had
passed and he left hs place of
watch. The next morning it
was discovered that a theft had
occurred.
It is thought that this is the
work of the same party who stole
the grain from Mr. Walker, and
a party who was early on the
scene of action in both instances
relates that he is convinced that
the same wagon was used in both
cases.
It would give pleasure to many
people, in tact, to all law-abiding
citizens to have the right
party apprehended and convict
ed. Let the people throughout
the country keep their eyes open
and assist in bringing the thief
to justice. Things have reached
a pretty state when a man must
watch his neighbor.

Strong-Hillman.
The marriage of Mr. Harold W.
Strong and Miss Ethelwyn Hill
man at the bride's residence in this
city Wednesday, was a quiet and
happy event. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Memmingerin
the presence of friends and relatives
of the bride and groom.
The bride is the grand-daughter
of Rev. G. W. Bennett, and is a
most estimable young lady. Nearly
all her life has been spent in this
city, where she is highly esteemed
Mr. Strong is a young business man
of excellent character, and indus
trious habits. The young people
will make their homo in this city.
It is said that "trouble never
comes single-handed." Francis
Pryor, who is in the county jail
awaiting the November term of
court on a charge of breaking into
the store of A. Wilhelm & Sons, of
Monroe, received a letter a few days
ago which announced the death of
his mother in Fayette, Iowa. His
grief was manifested in every ac
tion, and his only consolation was
the tact that she died in ignorance
of the predicament her son was in.
It is a hard thing to hear of a
mother's death at any time, but to
be an inmate of a jail at the time
the information reaches you is
enough to break down any man, no
matter how hardened to the buffets
of the world he may have become.
TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
A Very Interesting arid Profitable Three-
Bays' Session in this City.
The annual teachers' institute
of Benton county began in this
city last Monday morning in the
public school building with
Profs. D A Grout and R F Rob
inson, as instructors. The or
ganization was perfected by the
selection of Oscar B Long as
secretary, ind Lottie Heibert,
organist. The following sub
jects were discussed during the
day: 'Primary Numbers,"
"Modifiers," "The Location of
Cities," "General Principles in
Reading, ' ' 1 'Granted Powers
Civil Government," and an ad
dress by State Supt. J. H. Ack,
erman. Promptly at 8 p. m. in the M.
E. church, the evening program
began, which cousisted of music
by the Corvallis Orchestra, invo
cation by Rev S E Meinmingerr
Mayor J W Crawford made an
excellent address of welcome iu
behalf of the city, and Rev M
Noble welcomed the teachers in
behalf of the churches in a few
well choseH remarks. Mr Geo
L Paul recited "The Eve of
Waterloo." Dr B A Cathey's
vocal solo was well rendered.
The address of Supt Ackerman on
"Expansion in Education" re
ceived the rapt attention of all
present. He presented a num
ber of changes which, in his
estimation, will occur in the
near future in the school system
of Oregon. The most impor
tant one being the doing away of
the district school system and
substituting in its place a system
which would only have one set
of directors for the entire county.
This change would, no doubt ,
result in closer supervision, a
better grade system, and a more
economical administration of the
finances of the schools of the
state.
On Tuesday the following
subjects were taken up by the
instructors: "Grammar," "In
flection," explanation of the
new teachers' register by Supt
Aokerman. These registers have
been prepared with the greatest
eare by Supt Ackerman, and
when properly understood will
greatly reduce the work of keep
ing the same. It greatly syste
matizes the work and makes the
school records more complete
and accurate. ' 'Process of Learn
ing to Read," "Development of
Commerce," "Cells," "Teach
ers' Ideals."
On Wednesday the following
subjects were discussed: "Old
and New Arithmetic," "Over
crowning Difficulties- in Spell
ing," "Word-Phonic Method,
Reading," "Jefferson's Admin
istration." The total enrollment was 56.
The work of Profs Grout and
Robinson was exceedingly in
teresting and profitable to the
teachers. They are both able
institute workers and always
present their subjects so that all
may profit therefrom.
The next institute work in the
county will be a local institute
at Fairmount, which will be
held in October. It will be re
membered that the last local
institute was postponed on ac
count of rain, at this place last
spring by Supt Denman. It is
his intention to make this a joint
institute with Linn county and
Albany schools, if possible.
A Former Corvallisite.
The Salem Statesman of Sep
tember 4th, contains the follow
ing merited and complimentary
article concerning a former citi
zen of this city :
"Allen Wilson, for eighteen
years connected with the Cor
vallis Flouring Mills, has as
sumed the management of the
Turner mill and will hereafter
direct its affairs. Mr. Wilson is
having new machinery put in
and the interior of the mill is be
iug generally renovated and put
in condition to make flour. It is
the intention of the management
to make flour of such a quality
as will compete successfully with
other mills in the local market.
The scarcity of wheat has been
an obstacle in the way of the
mill, but this problem will find
its solution in the importation of
wheat from ivastern Oregon.
Wheat in the vicinity of Turner
is being stored at the mill and
some is selling for 53 cents.
But there will not be enough of
this to supply tb mill for the
vear's run. Turner flour and
mill feed will be on the Salem
market soon. Mr. Wilson is a
man of long experience in mill
work and bears the reputation,
among those who know him, of
being a man of strict integrity
and excellent business qualities
and the success of the mill under
his management is assured.
