the following: In a lot of hops re
cently bought by McKinley Mitch
ell from T. J. Mahan, sixty-two
pounds of brick were discovered.
It was a case of spite and cussed
ness, and is liable to land the per
petrator in jail. The hops were
grown on V. A Manning's place
and Mr. Manning having been in
formed of the matter at once saw
Mr. Mitchell and explained mat
ters, refunding the value of the
hops made up by bricks.
A few days ago a eouple of young
men showed up in Corvallis, one of
whom had his finger taken oft just
back of the nail by getting it fast
in the sprocket wheel of his bicycle
just prior to '"showing up." I hey
engaged board in (Jorvallis tor a
few days, stating that they were to
remain here until they could "hear
from their folks." They did not
state who or where their folks were,
and after having a meal or two on
"tick" they disappeared and noth
ing further was heard of them.
They had a Corvallis medical man
to dress the injured finge. and he,
too, was anxious about his fees.
The young fellows were all- right,
however, for just as their creditors
were about to dispair of seeing them
again, they quietly appeared and
made good their obligations.

fair patronage so far. and it is to be
hoped it may continue.

C. I. Oleman, of Kings Valley,
arrived here yesterday from the
Good Samaritan Hospital, of Port-
land, where he had been for the re-1
moval of a cancer from . his tongue, i
This serious operation was per- j
formed by Dr. G. F. Wilson who j
removed the whole tongue, taking i
it out clean at tho roots. So skill
fully was the work performed that
he was able on tbe fifth day after
the operation to eat, be up, and
even able to speak a good many
words, and is now able to talk con-1
siderable, so tha' those who hear
him are surprised. It seems al j
most a miracle that he can utter a
word without a particle of tongue. I
He says it is due to the great skill j
of Dr. Wilson ; and ho also states j
that the kindness and care that is !
given by all people connected with !
the hospital is all that ceuld be de- j
sired. He is stopping with his!
j daughter, Mrs. W. H. Birrell. He
j has many friends in Corvallis who
' will be pleased to learn that he is
I do;ng 60 well.

L. G. Kline.
After an illness of several
i weeks, Mr. L,. G. Kline died at
! his residence in this city shortly
j before noon -, last Monday, brief
mention of which was made in
Tuesday's Gazette. . His death
was caused jointly by a compli
oation of kidney troubles and old
age.
Mr. Kline was born in Kalish,
Poland, September io, 1828,
and was littJe past 72 years of
age at the time of his death.
When quite a young in an he
went to England where he made
his home for a number of years.
Ha came from there to the
United States in 1850 and set
tled in Cincinnati, Ohio. He
was wedded to Adeline Hill,
March 9, 1856. He came- to
the Pacific Coast via the Isthmus
in 1864, alld arrived at San
Francisco. In September of
this year he arrived in Corvallis.
He has resided here continuously
ever since.
Mr. Kline was a tailor by
trade aud opened up a business
of this kind in connection with
general merchandising. For
nearly twenty years he continued
in business in various business
locations in the city, but in
January, 1884, he retired from
active life and turned the
enterprise over to his son,
Simon. He was a very success-tul-
business man and amassed
considerable wealtb. Looking
after this competency has occu
pied him the greater part of the
time since 1884.
The funeral occurred at 1 130
o'clock yesterday afternoon from
the family residence. Tho ser
vices were conducted by Rabbi
Mosesshon, under the auspices
of Barnum Lodge, I. O. O. F.
The interment occurred at the
Jewish cemetery, in Albany,
and the funeral party was con
veyed there by a special train.
The remains were laid to rest
by the side of the deceased's
late wife, whose death occurred
something over a year ago.
During his business life in
this city Mr. Kline was much
esteemed by his patrons, and
later in life, when the pressure
f business affairs was not so
great aud he had more leisure,
the social side of his. nature was
shown. L. G. Kline will long
ba remembered for many esti
mable traits of character and a
most kindly disposition. Thus
has ended a life most worthily
spsur, and with it, one of the
connecting links of the Corvallis
of the past aud the Corvallis of
the present. Mr. Kline is sur
vived by three children, Moses
Kline, of Portland, S. L. Kline
aud Miss Pauline Kline; tha
latter two both of this city. He
also leaves two grandchildren in
San Francisco.

The Gazette is in receipt of a
letter from Clarence Owsley, editor
of the Galveston, Texas, Tribune,
stating that he, at the time of the
storm, Sept. 8th, had in press a
very handsome publication entitled,
"Picluresqua Galveston." It is a
book of something over one hun
dred pages, printed on 80-pound
coated paper, filled with views of
this, one of the most beautiful
cities in the world. It was to have
been issued this week by the busi
ness men of Galveston as a souven
ir advertisement of tha.t city. Mr.
Owsley has tendered the profits of
this publication to the Galveston
Relief Committee, and under their
auspices the book will be sold to the
general public at $2 a volume.
Probably 2,000 or 3,000 volumes
were saved from the elements. Of
course the first orders received will
be the first orders filled. Orders
received after the edition is ex
hausted will be returned with the
cash. The offer of the Tribune
has been approved in behalf of the
Galveston Relief Committee, by
Chairman W: A. McVitie. The vol
ume is well worth the price asked.
Besides, purchasers will have the
satisfaction of knowing that they
are contributing to the relief of
thousands who were left homeless
and destitute by the hurricane. Ad
dress all orders and make checks
payable to the Galveston Tribune.

Many Corvallisitea will recall
with pleasure the lecture delivered)

Visscher. The following from his
pen in the October Woman's Home
Companion is characteristic: Speak
ing of three "cheers," I am re
minded of an incident In a Catholio
church in Chicago some years ago.
Three Protestant ladies had called
at the church during a meeting that
was being held in furtherance of
some charitable purpose in which
they were interested, and when they
came down the aisle, all the pews
being occupied, the priest in charge
said to an attendant, "Three chairs
for the Protestant ladies." The at
tendant misunderstood, and called
out, "Three cheers for the Protes
tant ladies!" The cheers were given
with a will, and it was all the holy
father could do to stop the exhuber
ant reception before the attendant
could call for a "tiger."
