Pranks of various kinds are played and carried so far that they sometimes approach criminality. Wednesday evening there was a number of recruits initiated into the Maccabee lodge of this city. After initiary work an informal re ception was tendered Ira Hunter, in appreciation of his services as local record keeper, which on ac connt of other business, he has been obliged to resign. He was given many choice presents and a ban quet. A very pleasant evening was passed. Charley Overbaugh, agent for the O R & N Company, arrived from Portland about the first af the week. He reports that one of this company's boats may be expected up to Corvallis this evening. In oase she arrives as expected she will depart on her down trip in the morning. There was a sufficiency of water several days ago for boats, and they would have been here, but for tho fact that that they were undergoing repairs at Port land. George Reed, who left here a month or more ago for Roaeburg, where he expected to secure work at masonry in Ro3eburg, arrived home Wednesday. He did not re main theie long, but proceeded on to Dunsmuir, California, where he found work in his line.

A few days ago Recorder Elgin made a record of the transfer of 120 acres of land in section 8, township 11, from J. J. Sheahan to the State Iand Board. The consideration was 100. This is a transfer of un usual interest. It appears that this land was deeded to Woods Jaokson about forty years ago and again, through some oversight., it was again deeded to J. J. Sheahan a couple of years ago. Mr. Jackson held tho property and a deed to it, consequently, in order to straighten the matter out the last purcharer deeded tne propsrty back to the State Land Board and was returned bis monaj-.

Herbert Friendly effected the change at the central telephone station to the new switchboar J, Wednesday evening. It took him until 2 a. m. Thursday morning to make the change. Herbert will likely leave for Portland today. He will go via Albany, as he has a little work to do in that city. Messrs.

Ralph Lane, the 20-year-old son of Wm Lane, was seriously injured at the O AC gymnasium Tuesday afternoon about 4 o'clock. While performing on a horizontal bar he failed to catch the bar in some ex ercise and fell, missing the mat, and and struck on bis shoulders and back of the neck. The fali was a hard one and ite was rendered un conscious for some time. After he was revived he was taken home. A physician was summoned to attend him and it was found that he had suffered a contusion of the spinal column. For awhile his sufferings were intense, but at present he is resting somewhat easier and it is hoped that he will fully recover from the shock. The marriage of Mr. Emil How ard and Miss Tena Hall took place at Simpson Chapel, October 28th, Rev. H. M. Rounds officiating. The church was tastefully decora ted in b nor of the occasion, Ever green festooning hung gracefully from the walls, and an ivy arch on which was suspended a wedding mums was only enhanced in beauty ! wlnn tho knnrnr triwim nrvnrlorl i by two 6mall girls, Miss Edna Wil ........ fc. ... .. liams and Miss Geneve Howard with baskets of flowers, led his bride under the bell. Mr. Howard is a returned soldier from Manila and an honored citizen of Benton. Miss Hull is also a resident of Ben ton and a most estimable young woman. Messrs. C. E. Woodson and Geo. L. Paul spoke in King3 Valley, Tuesday evening, on the issues of the campaign from a republican standpoint. The weather and roads (were horrible and the residents of the valley had no hope of the speak ers appearing as billed. But these gentlemen in conformity with the time honored principle of their par ty, kept their promise. While the raa&cn ttiven above, and the storm deterred many from coming out, those who assembled gave the speakers earnest ana respeottui hearing. Prof. F. 1 Vinceut pre- sided over the meeting:. Kmss j Valley is one of the most pictur iesqueand productive spots in Ore Igon, and its people are whole-souled and generous. Mr. A. C. Miller, j the postmaster and proprietor of the general merchandise slore, sheltered and fed the visitors and his treatment was royal. special service at night by theiVV rvaiiis ooys arnveu Malicions and Contemptible. It is bad enough to be igno rant; it is worse to be contempti ble. The pitiable object who is guilty of batb these short com ings usually escapes the condem nation of decent society, which is disposed to be lenient with incapables. But there are times when the "insignificance of the accuser is lost in the magnitude of an accusation." In the last issue of the Times appears an article which abuses the editor of the Gazette for defending the record and good name of the Oregon and other volunteers who saw service iu the Philip pines. Readers of the Gazette will rocall tho article published in our last issue under the cap tion, "Their First Meeting." We ask that they read it again. We believe that their unani mous judgment will be that the article contains nothing that would warrant the malicious squib which appeared in Satur day's Times under the heading, "Which Is Right?" The Gazette's article gave Mr. Stuart's address as respect ful and unbiased consideration as the mos-t ardent supporter of Mr. Bryan could ask. It took issue with Mr. Sanders on none of his contentions, except bis attack on his comrades in arms. That we did not make the arti cle stronger in this respect is be cause we had not the language at command with which to do it. The Times . takes issue with the Gazette and endorses the utter ances of Mr. Sanders, thereby making iteelf a party to the viiest calumny ever uttered against our .volunteer soldiery. We said that it was to the credit of the better element of Mr. Bryan's supporters to say that they did not endorse the tirade of abuser and invective hurled at the Oregon volunteers1 by the young man Sanders, tior his dis paraging comparisons of our civilization and national char acter with that of the Filipinos. The Times had no reason to, take offense at this for there was nothing personal in it. There was no intention to class that paper with the better element. When the Times says we wore out of employment when war was declared against Spain or during any portion of that con-. met, it lies. During the past 5;,. i f tn j exceed two weeks respite from honest, manly labor. At tne . , ... . - 111 m ennsu, we were working in that city, and in or- der to secure a tew hours leave to visit Corv'alhs in which city we were making: arrangements to agarin take up our residence we were working nights. Had we baen disposed to accept the starvation wages whiqh the Times has the reputation of pay ing its employes, we need never to have gone elsewhere lor work, for Mr. Irvine expressed his earnest desire to secure our ser vices as foreman of his office at that tfhie. The only difficulty was the question of wages. The Times condemns the edi tor of the Gazette as a skulker, because he dicruot enlist, and in doing so brands every young or able-bodied man in the country, including his own brother whose courage and patriotism we have no reason to doubt as a shirk and a sneak. We did not see service. We were not in the war. But our army record is as good as W. J. Bryan's, and we were as near the Philippines as he ever got, (- iv A J U 1" 'NT,. hTas$a. baS llad ,m0r? ! s?y n?n COUaitlOllS HI the islands than all the men put together who took up arms against Spain. Our authority for what we have said is published in another col umn. The statements gleaned from these boys have been sup- j plemeuted by facts gathered j from the report of the Philip- j pine commission. We don t believe Mr. Brvan has secured his information from any more reliable source. If the editor of the Times would devote his attention more to a perusal of decent literature he would escape the ridiculous situations in which he oft times finds himself and his paper would bo relieved of the saffron hue it reflects like a chamelion. We apologize to our readers for this filling of space with dis- j cussiou of a matter which has no place in public print, but we have felt that the attack upon us warranted it. So far as we are concerned the incident is i closed. Get your Job Wrk done here A Philippine Letter. Harry Beard, well known in this city, formerly a student, at the O A C and leader of the col lesre band, has written an inter esting let&er to his parents, who reGide in Linn county. It was made public in the Albany Her ald and we print certain extrac&s. Speaking of the natives and their enlightenment he says they have implicit iaith in their abil ity to make rain. He says: "In nearly every town on the island the population were turn ing out giving torch light pro cessions, feasts, and sac rifices, just as people used to do 2000 years B. C, try ing to make it rain. Well, these people over here are about 20c o years before Christ now, still they think they made it rain." Speaking of the rainy season, he says that the general health of the men in service there is better on the average than it was during the dry season. He also writes that the natives also seemed to enjoy better health during this "season of the year. Among other matters of inter est, he gives the following ac count of a native funeral: "A native funeral is very interest ing. They are also ver common here. The body is placed in a little flat coffin which is painted nearly every color of the rain bow. The coffin is placed on a sort of table or rack, with lighted caudles at corner, and carried by two natives at the cemetery, following the coffin in the pro cession is the family, and then the " hired mourners, gaily dressed "Senoritas" smoking cigarettes, talking and laughing with one another, and everyone they meet on the street. If the dead happened to be a rich or distinguished person the native band goes along." From the number of incidents related of the natives, a person is quite excusable in forming the opinion that all of this twaddle about high Filipino civilization and enlightenment is- "rot." Thanksgiving Proclamation. President McKinley has issued the usual Thanksgiving proclama tion, setting the date on Thursday, November 29, 1900. The following is the proclamation: "It has pleased Almighty God to bring our Nation in safety and honor through another year . The works-of religion and charity have everywhere b:en manifest. Our country through all its extent, has been bicssed with abundant har vests. Labor and the great indus tries of thepeople have prospered beyond all precedent. Our com merce has spread all over the world. Our power and influence in the cause of freedom and enlightenment have extended over distant seas and lands. The lives of our official representatives and many of our people in China have been mar velously preserved. We have been generally exempt from pestilence and other great calamities, and even the tragic visitation which overwhelmed the city of Galveston made evident the sentiments of sympathy and Christian charity by virtue of which are one united people. "Now, therefore, I, William Mc Kinley, president of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart Thursday, the 29th day of November next, to be observed by all the people of the United States, at home or abroad, as a day of thanksgiving and praise to Him who holds the nations in the hol low of his hand. I recommend that they gather in their several places of worship and devoutly give Him thanks for the prosperity wherewith He has endowed us, fer the valor, devotion and humanity of our armies and navies, and .for all His benefits to us as individuals and as a nation; and that they humbly pray for the continuance of His divine favor, for concord and and amity with other nations, and for righteousness and peace in all our ways. "In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Wm. McKinley." For Reut. Three good office rooms. Apply to P. If. Zierolf. Lost.

For anything in the line of ! musical merchandise, call at the Book ' Store, on Main Street, Corvallis, Hallowe'en. Quite a mtmbeir of capers were executed Wednesday night that will have a tendency to make Hallowe'en memorable. Signs were moved in various parts &f the city and some MghSble changes effected, pffone or two places sidewalks were torn up, and small outbuildings were moved or upset. The boys at the O AG took the cannen and planted it on the new granite-sand walk leading to the city and its business end was pointed this way. The also attempted to move the ver tebra of a whale that has stood against the corner outside the executive building into the build ing. They made heroic efforts, and awakened people in the vicinity "from their slumber by the grunting and groaning they underwent while tagging on the section of vertebra. The best they could do was to get it well up on the O A C stepe. There is a couple of college boys who could relate a very thrilling tale if they were so inclined. A gentlemen heard a couple of shots fired and presently a cou ple of young men passed him at a high rate of speed, and one was telling the other, between breaths, that lie heard the shots whiz. Well, although it makes some people mad to have their affairs meddled with, Hallowe'en is Hke the Fourth of July it conies but once a year. Real Estate Transfers.

Additional Local The people of Philomath were en tertained Wednesday evening with an address by Judge Lowell on campaign issues, and mnsic by the Republican Quartet from Corvallis. Ihe rally was a great success, the address being exceptioaably able. Judge S. A. Lowell, of Pendleton, who was billed to address the citi zens of Alsea, Tuesday evening in the interest Of th9 republican party, was obliged by his health and weather conditions to remain in Corvallis on this date. Wednes day morning he visited the Agri cultural College and made a brief address to the Btudent body, ir the course of his remarks he told the students to select some mission in life, some high and worthy task for performance, and devote their whole energies to its accomplish ment; to ever have this end in view, even though it required a life-time. His remarks were great appreciated by both faculty and students. The official announcement of the total ponuiation of the United States for 1900 is 76,295,220, of which 1 4,62, 907 are contained in the 45 states, representing approxi mately the population to be used for apportionment purposes. There is a total of 134, 15S Indians not taxed. The total population in 1890, with which the aggregate population of ' the present census should bo compared, was 63, 069,756.
