Married, Noyeinber 14, 1900, in
this city, at the home of the bride's

lady is well known here and carries
with her the best wishes of many
friends for a lon and happy wed
ded life.
Be sure to read the notice of Dr.
Lowe, the well-known optician in
this issue. He is to return here
next w:ek: Dr. Lowe has been
coming to Corvallis for severa
years a-ul his work and glasses give
universal satisfaction to all. So
far as we know he is is the only
optician that ever returned the
second time.
Word reached Corvallis a day or
so ago to the effect-that "Old- G ro
ver," remarkable dog of the Zahn
boys, of Alsea, had treed two more
cougars over there last Tuesday
evening, and that Dick Zahn had
shot them. This makes a record of
19 eougirs this faithful day has as
sisted in killing. It will be hard to
find a dog with a better record.
The Corvallis Coffee Club con
tains within itself a "Social Club."
While it is composed of and man
aged by members of theCoffes Club
it is distinctly a social affair and in
no way interferes with the regular
workings of the former organiza

first function of the new club this
evening at the Fireman's Hall.
Mayor J. W. Crawford, of this
city, returned the first of the week
from a business trip to Sahm. He
states that while down there he got
into conversation with a gentleman
from Dallas and the latter reported
that there was in the neighborhood
of fourteen carloads of dried prunes
in that section that had not been
sold vet. From what was learned
it is' uudeistood that the prune
owners were anticipating the re
election of McKinley and had con
fidence that after the campaign was
closed prices would most likely
rise. If such was their motive they
seem in a fair way to make by
it, as market quotations indicate a
firmer price.

Capt. G. A. Robinson has recov

A host of friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Clum Read joined them in cele
brating their silver wedding at their
home in this city Wednesday
evening. Twenty-five Tears ago on
that date they were made man and
wife. Mr. Read's acquaintances
can scarcely realize that he has
been married so long. His youth
ful appearance leads strangers to
place his age at not to exceed 30
years.
Dewey He wood, advance man
for the Alba Heywood Company,
arrived in town Wednesday. He
arranged with the Jeffersonian
Literary Society of the O A C for
his company to appear at the Opera

cember 1st, the exact date is not
yet determined. This company is
said to be unusually strong this
year, and besides Alba Heywood,
the celebrated impersonator, there
are fine lady singers and a lady
violiniste. It is said that there is
an exceptionally fine 'cellist with
the company.
The Eastern Oregon Observer
contribues .the following interesting
item on the recent election, which
clearly illustrates that age does not
eut much of a figure in a man's
political enthusiasm: "Gen. John
H. Steven, the well-known pioneer,
who is S3 years of age, was driven
to the polls Tuesday and carried
inside on a chair, so that he could
cast his pallot for Mr. McKinley.
His first vole was cast 'or Andrew
Jackson, in 1828, and he always
voted the democratic ticket until
j 1864, when he voted for Lincoln's
! re-election. Since that time he has
always advocated republican principles."

: Editor Gazette : One South -
ern democrat in the census office
I was excitedly fervent in his pre
! dictions that Bryan would be
' elected. His predictions grew
more boastful and more wild
every day until lie finally claimed
that the Nebraskan would carry
every state in the Union. Most
of us only smiled at the foolish
fellow, but one calculating re
publican concluded to make some
money out of the Georgian's en
thusiasm. He scraped up $30
and egged the Southerner on.
"Bryan will carry every state in
the Union," shouted Mr. Geor
gia, "iset you ne doesn t an
swered Ohio. "Well," said the
man from the South, "Mayb
not every one, but I will wager
$5 that he gets every state but
one and I can name that one."
The bet was made and two five
dollar bills were placed in an en
velope and given to the stake
holder. The Bryan man wrote
the name of McKinley' s only
state and put the paper in the
envelope which was then sealed.
He refused to say, however,
which state he had written. It
leaked out in his subsequent
ranting that he was only afraid
of New York. But he refused to
make any more bets. As Bryan
neared New York on his cam
paign tour, the Southerner went
into fits and the.day after Bryan's
Madison Garden speech he in
sisted that Bryan would carry
that one remaining state. "Bet
you $25 he doesn't," quietly re
marked the republican. The
poor democratic fly went into the
trap and $25 each was posted,
the Georgian betting that Bryan
would carry the state he had
named in the envelope. After
that Mr. Southerner was very
calm and sensible. He seemed
satisfied and had reason to be so,
for it turned out yesterday that
he had written "Texas" 011 the
paper in the envelope.
Willard and Maud Hoffman
begin their Americau tour in
Boston in a few days. Miss
Hoffman is a decided favorite in
that city and the company will
doubtless be given a reception
that will go far towards making
the tour a great success. Miss
Hoffman's mother lives in Wash
ington and will meet her daugh
ter in the Blue Stocking city.
She is visiting friends in Balti
more this week.
There is general regret that
the result of the election in Colo
rado and Montana will retire
from office Senators Wolcott and
Carter, both very able men, but
everyone rejoices in the defeat of
Pettigrew. The Washington
papers predict the return of Sen
ator McBride, this forecast being
governed considerably by their
wishes, for the senator is a great
favorite here.
Immense crowds assembled in
front of the newspaper offices to
see the election bulletins Tues
day night. As a change from
the figures, pictures were occa
sionally flashed on the screens.
Sometimes a battleship was
shown. It might have been the
Texas Or the Massachusetts, but
everybody said to everybody else,
"the Oregon" and a mighty
cheer arose.
I think the achievements and
fame of that sea-fighter has
something to do with the fact
that nearly every departmental
man I see wishes to "go west"
and four out of five have their
eyes on Oregon.
The Oregon men in the census
office have been as a rule very
successful. Mr. Alvin Patterson,
of Heppner, has a very important
position and the director -has com
plimented his work publicly.
Mr. Patterson has a number of
K. of P. friends in Corvallis.
Brady Burnett, of Corvallis, has
made rapid advancement in the
manufacturing division and he
has been assigned to do special
work. H C Allen in the popula
tion division, was one of five
sent to direct the partial recount
of Baltimore and was this week
placed in charge of a section.
Both have had their salaries in
creased. Messrs. Siltray and
Muesderffer, of Portland, (the
latter formerly 2nd Lieut, of Co.
F, 2d Or. Vol) are assistant chiefs
of important agricultural sections
and Miss Ross, of Portland, has
had her salarv increased twice.

The Nev Gold Fields.
Considerable enthusiasm is be
ing worked up over the newly
discovered mines near Detroit,
on the line of the C. & E.
spoken of in these oolumns a
woek ago. There have been
quite a rush to the new diggings,
among the goldseekers being a
number of Corvallisites. The
following dispatch from Detroit
contains some interesting details.
The experienced goldminer
hasn't much confidence in the
new find. This section is not in
the gold belt, and while a color
may ba found almost anywhere,
the trouble is to find it in paying
quantity:
The new gold mines here are
turning out even better than ex
pected. J. O. Carter, Orinjudd,
and Chris Newbold, owners of
the W. J. Bryan mine, have
driven a short tunnel in their
claim and fiud that the ore grows
richer with depth. There are a
number of others being worked,
and in each case the deeper they
dig, the richer the quartz.
There is a great rush for claims,
as it is very evident that the
whole mountain is rich. Everv
----- ----- . . ; "'
aay Dnngs new prospectors,
many of whom are old miners
from the goldfields of Alaska.
Many experienced miners after
testing the quartz declare De
troit is destined to become a per
manent mining center. Excite
ment runs high and on every
corner can be found men exam
ing and testing quartz. The
mining district proper is about a
mile and a half above Detroit,
but there is 3 fairly good trail
leading there now, as never a
day passes but a number of par
ties go up there, prospecting and
locating claims.
That Troublesome Cow.
A good many citizens ot this
place keep cows, which they
have a perfect! right to do, but
now and then they stake them
out with no regard to the law in
the matter, or the rights of other
people. No owner of a cow has
a right to stake her along the
property of anybody else without
the consult of the property owner.
Nor have they the right in any
case to stake her where she can
get on the sidewalks or across
them, so that passersby are
obliged to step over the rope.
Chief Flett had quite an ex
perience a few days ago with a
ease of this nature. After once
giving a certain lady- in-town
warning about her cow, he found
her staked in violation to the
law aad proceeded to lead the
cow to the pound. The lady
found that her cow was being
taken off and gave chase, over
hauling the ohief. She raised
quite a stir asd threw Tier arms
around the cow's neck. This
move fooled the chief, as he
thought that the woman was
doing this to prevent him from
leading the oow away. How
ever she had another purpose,
for she deftly Unbuckled the ani
mal's halter and let her loose.
The chief succeeded in spite of
the opposition in tying the rope
around tha cows neek and took
her to the pound. The out
come of the affair was that the
lady's husband paid fchs charges
for emp&unding the cow and
took her home. This little inci
dent may serve as a lesson to
quite a number of people about
the city.

Miss Lucy Peruot.
The death of Miss Lucy Pernot
occurred in New York city, Mon
day afternoon. Accompanied by her
mother she left Corvallis about
three months ago for a trip to
Europe, and tras taken seriously
ih on the passage across the Atlan
tic on the return trip. She was so
ill when rhe arrived in New York,
that on the advice of a renowned
surgeon, she decided to submit to
an operation, knowing that her life
depended on it.
A year or two ago she began com
plaining of pains in her side, and
on examination, her brother,Dr Per
not, of this" city, recommended an
operation, but she refused to submit
to the knife. The New York sur
geon who operated on Miss Pernot
found that the cause of trouble was
an extremely large tumor in the
region of the liver. Several . com
plications were encountered and
the patient never rallied after the
operation and death ensued within
24 hours.
Lucy A Pernot was born October
26, 1854, in the city ' whera her
death occurred. Until her arrival
in this city, October, 1889, she had
passed life in the states of New
York, Ohio and Michigan. She
was highly esteemed by those inti
mately acquainted with her, and
commanded the respect of every
body. Miss Pernot was an active
W C T U worker and will be great
lv missed by her c -workers in this
ci ty.
The remains will be brought to
Corvallis for iiilrrai nt and aro x
peeted to arrive tsext Sunday or
Monday. Her mother, of this city,
and an aunt of New York city, will
accompany the remains on the
sad journey across the continent.
Many friends express sympathy for
the relatives in this great bereave
ment. Additional Local
Mrs. O. L. Clark, of McMinnville,
is visiting relatives in this city.
Mr. Joseph Yates says it pays to
advertise in the Gazette. He lost
his pet spectacles some time ago,
made that fact known through a
notice in this paper, and the miss
ing glasses were soon brought to
his home.
M. Johnson, John and Henry
Bobell and Claus and John Linder
man have just arrived at their home
at Waldport, from Nome, Alaska.
They have not brought out any for
tune with them, but they say there
is gold in the Nome country.
The Willamette river, which ten
days ago was reported the highest
it had been at that date in many
years, being then twelve feet above
low water mark, may now be said
to be the lowe3t it has been for
many seasons past at this date,
says the Statesman. Yesterday the
water stood at 2f feet above low
water mark and it is slowly falling.
If this fair weather continues for
another week the water will, of
course, go much lower. The reason
assigned for such a Sudden fall in
the stage of the water is that -the
ground had not absorbed as much
as it would hold, and as soon as the
downpour of rain ceased the ground
took up a great amount of the sur
face water.
Colonel Doech advises prune
growers holding Italian prunes not
to be scared by the reports from
Salem. He says that offers of
cents have been refused, in spite of
the report that no more than 6 cents
can be obtained, and that the
growers may consider themselves
lucky to obtain that price. He
says that fruitgrowers can easily
get 7 cents for the larger varieties
of Italian prunes. Furthermore,
he says, the world's supply does
not cut any figura in the marketing
of the Italian prunes. Tnis variety
has a demand aside and indepen
dent for any other prune. In other
words, the Italian prune is not
affected by the demand or supply
of other classes of prunes because
It stands upon an independent
basis of its own.
