A good attendance testified to the
interest taken in this old-fashioned

A desperate encounter, somewhat
resembling a game of feotball, was
waged in the country adjacent to
Philomath, during the greater part
of Saturday afternoon. Eleven
midgets, with Tim Dunn as a
.nucleus, girded their loins and
descending upon Philomath chal
lenged that goodly city, in the
name of the Plymouth Rocks, to
come forth and show . cause why
said Rocks were not as worthy foe
men as the fledglings from Cor
vallis. The rde:y" was accepted,
and waiving formalities of- code or
seconds, the conflict was begaB.
Tho fortunes of both combatants
ebbed and flowed with tantalizing
frequency. In vain did the Philo
math wavelets dash against the
rocks of Plymouth, however, for
when the points were computed a
lrge goose egg appeared imme
diately after the word Philomath,
while Plymouth preceded the
figure 5. ' .-'.J: ... '"

A quiet wedding was solemnized

Monday evening at 8 o'clock, the
high contracting parties being Prof.
Clyde M. Phillips and Miea Leah

were present, and the event was
most happy One. ' Clyde has been
apting suspiciously for the past few
days and his host of friends be
lieved that the event, which all
were expecting, was soon to occur.
Some even went so far as to exam
ine th license books at the clerk's
office, but found no evidense to in
dicate that a ceremony had . been
performed. So silly had the wed
ding been planned, no inkling was
known of its having ooeurred nn
til the srroom laughingly confessed
two davs after himself and bride
had been comfortably settled in
their new home near the college. .
Prof. Phillips is a young man of
whom his many friends are proud.
His whole life has : been spent in
this community, and he- has ever
been enterprising and industrious.

Some weeks ago Sheriff Bur
nett received a letter from parties
in , Missouri, whioh . made in
quiries concerning one "Balch, M
whom the let'r stated had been
a member of Co. F, ist- Oregon
Cavalry. The letter was' pub
lished and the matter came to
the attention of John Catlin, of
Albany, a veteran of the Civil
War and until recent years : a
member of the regular army.
Mr. Catlin was in Corvallis
this week to stand examination
before the board of physicians
here to establish his right to a
pension w&ich he is applying
for. While here he visited this
office and exhibited a letter, from
Commander Shipley, of the
Soldiers' Home at Roseburg, in
response to his inquiry concern
ing "Balsh." Mr. Shipley
stated that the name does not
occur on the rolls of Co. F, ist
Oregon Cav., but the party re
ferred to was probably James A.
Balch, who was 2nd lieutenant
in Co. F, is Oregon Inf. Balch
was stationed for some time at
Fort Lapwai, Idaho, about 1865
or 1866, but died some years ago
at Goldendale, Wash. John
Purdom, now a resident of Al
bany was a comrade of Baloh's
during the Civil War. -
Mr. Catlin has a long and in
teresting record as a soldier.
He enlisted in the army of the
Potomac when but' 11 years of
age and served four years and
four months in - the 5th New
York Cavalrv. He was in
all the great battles of that war,
and acted as headquarter . bugler
for Sheridan and other generals.
When his service ended he
enlisted in tha 1st United
States Cavalry and saw much
service in Indian fighting, being
wounded three times m addition
to his four wounds received in
the war of the rebellion. ..He
was stationed for a number of
years at the Presidio, ; in San
Francisco, as a member of light
battery M, 2nd Artilery. His
eomma id was on its way to join
Custer, whea it was recalled by
a runner, and this fact probably
saved, himself and comrades
from the fate of the intrepid gen
eral and his brave followers in
ths battle of the Little. Big
Horn. -- J '

When Roman IZahn left Cor
vallis last spring for , a visit to

Bill Posting Ordinance.
It seems that the bill posting
ordinaEce of Corvallis came near
being put to a test a few days
ago. From what can be ascer
tained, S. N. Wilk'ns had some
rulers distributed by his son,
and these rulers bore the com
ponents of the business house
of S. N. Wilkins. " They were
distributed without tha consent
of George Bingham, who is a
licensed bill-poster for this city.
He swore'out a complaint against
Mr. Wilkins, but it was not
sered, as the authorities did not
wish to involve the city la a
lawsuit. This bill-posting or
dinance is, and has beca, a mat
ter of considerable speculation
on the part of the "oity dads,"
as to whether it will stand a law
suit in case someone fought it. Mr.
Wilkins seemed to think that it
would not, while Mr. Bingham,
who pays a license to do this
work in all of its forms, not only
posting bills, .but distributing
flyers, blotters, and various other
kinds of advertising matter, de
Glares that he is ent.tled to has
dle these jobs. Mr. Bingham
says that he pays $20 a year
license and that the city must
protect him in the matter. It is
a pretty hard "nut to crack,"
and by consent of the latter,
action against Mr. Wilkins was
postponed until after the next
meeting of the city council,
when that body will determine
what course to pursue.
It is held by many that it is
their right, if they choose, to go
about town personally and dis
tribute their cards, blotters, er
anything of this nature, so long
as they make no charge for the
same and the man in whoso
place of business they are left
offers no objection. In other
words, they claim the privilege
to give a thing away if they
wa'nt to. A drayman is licensed
in Corvallis and can collect his
fee for work done, but if a man
should starta dray and haul for
nothing who . can stop him?
Again,, it is claimed that It is
against the - free circulation of
public reading matter. ; Papers
with" bona fide subscribers can
be peddled by anybody, but a
paper equally good or better that
is not subscribed for could be
forbidden distribution by the
bill-posSer should he see fit. It
all this' be .true, Mr. Bingham is
not to be blamed for wanting
protection in the privilege that
he pays a liceuse for. Mr. Wil
kins,"" oa the other hand may
claim that his rights as a citizen
are trampled npen when he can
not make a man a present of a
ruler bearing his name a.nd place
of business. '
