Wednesday evening a party of ten or a dozen young ladies of Cor vallis secured a turn-out and amidst much laughter, blowing of tin whistles, tooting of fish horns and jangling of bells, drove over to Albany. Ihey went to attend the band concert. The only man in attendance was the driver what a pity! J. M. Cameron and family ar rived home from Portland Wednes day.

The carriage is the property of the Studebaker Wagon Company. Joseph Yates drove out of Corval lis early yesterday morning, and to judge by his equipment, one would have thought that he was starting across the plains.

Killed by S. P. Train. Thd Southern Pacific passen ger train, leaving Portland Tues day morning ran into and killed Mrs. Nettie Nailes, near her home one-fourth mile west of Carlton, a small station seven miles north of McMinnville. The accident occurred about 9:45 a. in., and the unfortunate woman died from the effects of her injuries a short time after ward. When first noticed by Engi neer Joseph Kehoe, from his seat in ths cab, she was standing by a (team that had been stopped in the middle of the wagon road, which parallels the railroad at that point. She was talking to her brother, when she sud denly started to return to her home just across the track. At that moment the train was not more than 21 or 30 feet away from her. Unmindful of its approach, she darted onto the track in time to be struck by the pilot of the engine and hurled to one side. When pieked up, she showed no signs of the contusion, and was still breathing. She was at onoe re moved to her home, toward which she had been running when the accident happened. The movements of the woman were so quick and unexpected that Engineer Kehoe had no time to stop his train, and was only able to shut off steam and reach for the air lever, and no blame is attached to him for the fatality. The inquest was held at Carlton Wednesday morning and was attended by Engineer Kehoe, Conductor M. C. Web ster and other members of the train crew. Still No Bidder. The city council met in regu lar session last Monday evening. President Avery presided in the absence of Mayor Crawford, on account of sickness. No bids were received by the sewer committee in answer to the "call to contractors" now be ing published, and the time for receiving bids was extended un til the next regular meeting of the council. Two remonstrances were pre sented to the council, against certain lateral sewers, and they were laid on the table. Bills, amounting to $469 on the general fund and $112 On the street fund, were allowed. A motion to the effect that the chief of police be ordered to open the alley in the Spangler Shaw block was defeated. gooocoaocacocc2Qoo3cooooooo3 hon. nine mm Will address the voters j of Benton County on the jj political issues of the day a at CORVALLIS, OREGON, On Saturday, September 15, 1900 At 7:30 O'clock P.

Three Corvallis gentlemen, the only clue to whose identity we have has been given in their surnames, rode over Jto Albany on their bicycles Sunday afternoon, while in search of the big prune orchard. While straying around, the city, they wandered aimlessly into the telegraph office, of which conven iences Albany has but one, and one of their number, whom we shall know as Farmer, being an operate, sent the tollowing message to Cor vallis: "Tom Monteith. Bring conveyance to Albany. Barnhart and Cronise are unable to get home. Honest John." Business would not permit Mr. Monteith to go to Albany in person, but he rushed to the Brick Stable and ordered the fastest and safest team sent post-haste. The gentle men for whose benefit the outfit had been ordered, were uncon scious "of the solicitude for their welfare, and knew nothing of the I Tig having been ordered. After see ing me signis mey mounted ineir wheels and started homeward. When three or four miles out of Albany, the party met the carriage which had been dispatched to their assistance. Later, when the trio met Tom in Corvallis, explanations were demanded on both sides. Barnhart and Cronise resented the insinuation that they were not able to go ten miles from home, without having to be brought home in an ambulence, and Monteith produced the telegram as evidence of his good intentions. Mr. Farmer plead guilty, and promised to settle the livery bill, and hostilities were sus pended. County Court. The business transacted by the county court has been crowded out on aocount of other matters. Business was transacted as fol lbws : In the matter of Win Castle and others asking for a contribu tion of $89 from the county for the Wyatt road, on the grounds that a like sum had been contri buted by the citizens, the court appropriated $25. A contract was awarded S H Peterson for building a bridge across Rock creek near the Hen- kle place at $165. In the matter of repairing Alsea bridge near the farm of D R Tom, in Alsea, the contract was awarded D R Tom, at $40. .for repairs to De done on Starr's ;itock bridge, near Liver pool mills, W F Starr was given contract at $17.50. Petition for assistence on the road around Oliver mountain was denied. In the matter of the bill of Franklin Iron Works for oHe-half interest in a row boat, the court saw fit to reject it. The matter of vpurchasing a gravel loader was referred to Commissioner Irwin. In the ease of the State vs R B Edwards, the cost bills of J. H. Edwards, justice of the peace, for $22.60, and E R Bryson, deputy district attorney, for $8.80 were allowed. Harvest Festival. The Salvationists are now busy preparing for their annual har vest festival. Everyone should be interested in this effort to alleviate the bondage of souls and the suffer ing of bodies.
