spirits of nitre it will prevent them

by a vicious bull, while working
in the barnyard at his home west
of this city, Monday. The animal
butted him, breaking two of his
ribs and iajnring his spine. He
was not discovered until sometime
after the accident. The fact that

young man's life. He is the son of
Hon. Thos. Cooper, and is about 23
years old.

The Eugene Guard in comment
ing on the item concerning the
statement that the remains of C. W.
Watts, who died in Dawson, had
not been interred, says: "J. D.
Matlock, of this city, who was a
partner in business with Mr. Watts,
tells the Guard that this is abso
lutely untrue. Mr. Matlock was in
Dawson at the time of Mr. Watts'
death and says that he was given a
decent burial by his friends immed
iately after death. He died from
pneumonia, and during his illness
had the best of care and attention.
The body being held in the Dawson
City morgue is that of some other
man, as Mr. Matlock is positive
that Mr. Watts was buried."
It is reported that last Friday
the dogs of Oscar Deatley started a
coyote on Wrightsman'e Peak and
gave chase. The varmint headed
for the place ot William Ryals, and,
passing through the hogpen,
secreted itself in a small clump of
bushes. It was quite exhausted as
the result of its long run and re
mained perfectly quiet while one of
the Hecker boys approached and
shot it with a revolver. It is said
that Mr. Ryals was considerably
indisposed and was ia the house
undergoing a course of treatment
when the appearance was an
nounced. In the confusion that
followed he forgot all about his age
and ailments and kicked about like
a "kid."
We have just received a copy of
the state fair premium list for 1901.
Uver sflU.UUUis ottered lor prem
iums on livestock and farm products
and is by far the largest and best
premium list ever offered in this
state. The list has been thoroughly
revised, and brought up to date in
every-department. New premiums
have been added, and others in
creased on articles most worthy of
merit. Oregon can boast now of as
complete and liberal premiums as
any state in the union, and it qard
work and earnest efforts on . the
part of the management counts for
anything, the fair itself will com
pate favorably , with those of older
states, and will be the best ever
held this 'side of the Rocky moun
tains.
J. G. Bethune, well, known in
Corvallis, has confessed to the theft
of $110 'from the till of a car-barn
of the Portland Street Railway
company last Saturday morning
After the burglary was committed
suspicion fell upon Bethune He
had been discharged three weeks
before from the service of the com
pany as conductor. The night be
fore the robbery he was seen about
the barn. Speaking of him, the
Oregonian says: Bethune has none
of the looks of the criminal. On
the contrary, his story is one of a
man, maddened by his inability to
get work, pressed for money, yield
ing to the temptation of theft while
under the i nfl uence of liquor. When
sobering from the effects of a de
bauch and feeling remorse, he gave
himself up to the officers of the law
when he learned they were on his
track.

Nearly everyone ia Corvallis
ar t:.; ro'tnty knew "Mat
IT " a - - -
xvivto i: trie time H was
night olficfci in citv". but he
drifted to Portland and succeeded
m securing a position on the pol
ice force in the metropolis. The
Portland Telegram of Tuesday
devotes considerable soace to
M.J. Ervin" en account of his
absence, incidentally relating
that many creditors are mourn
ing Mat's "untimely" disap.
pearance. The statement that
"Ervin was at one time a sheriff
in a cow connty" is ineerrect.
The following is' a part of the
write-up that Mat received:
Krvin was at one time a sher
iff in a-cow county, and while
serving in that capacity he is
said net to have liyed with his
wife and children for several
years, although he visited them
oceasionally. When he was ap
pointed to the Portland police
force he located his family at
Fulton, but had a room down
town for himself. He asso
ciated with a Mrs. Lucas,
rooming on First street, for some
time. The woman's hnsband
secured a divoree from her and
then Mrs. Ervin secured a di
vorce from her husband, obtain
ing custody of the two children.
Mrs. Lucas has one child. Mrs.
Lucas used to walk the beat
with the policeman, and the1
strange part is that the man's su
periors did not learn of his do
ings, for other people were talk
ing of the actions of the officer.
Then came another chapter.
It is said that another officer
wanted to pay attentions to Mrs.
Lucas, and when she spurned
him he threatened her. She tele
phoned to the police explaining
the situation. When Ervin heard
of the threat he swore he would
shoot the other officer on sight:
but he didn't. It is said that
when the second officer left the
woman's room, after making the
threat, he was seized by two
men, who administered chastise
ment. This brought the matter
to the attention of the depart
ment, and an investigation was
set on foot. Beth of the police
men involved became personal
ia their remarks, and it simmer
ed down to a question of veraci
ty. The burden of the proof lay
with Mrs. Lucas and she was
sent for. . A search failed to re
veal the woman's whereabouts,
and it was learned that she had
left town. The day she went
away there was an officer at the
station and it was not Ervin.
During the progress of his in
trigue Ervin borrowed money
freely.
How Others Do.
The following , extracts from
letters were read before the Cor
vallis Improvement Society at
its meeting on the evening of
April 29th at the home of Miss
Snell. These letters coming
from promoters of this work in
other places show the good be
ing accomplished in those locali
ties.
Rose Hill, of Middleton, Ga.,
writes under date of April 16,
1901: "lne village improve
ment work has been most effec
tive in accomplishing much good
for public improvement and civic
beauty in this section of the
country. The paint and white
wash brush are most generously
used ; and enclosed you will find
a receipt for the whitewash
which we find most excellent."
Another writer says: "Arbor
Day is observed by these asso
ciations and is a general gala
day for the town, men, women
and children taking part in this
important occasion. .The school
grounds are a general place for
the meeting of the citizens, and
it is here that the most effective
work can be dene."
To show how even the school
children have been enlisted in
the work of public improvement,
we publish a couple of their let
ters: "I help pick up pieces of
paper. I have seen pieces of
paper and picked it up and put
it in my pocket." Written by
Fred Butler, a third grade pupil.
Alice J. Simons, foarth grade,
writes as follows: "I have
picked up paper and banana
skins and lots of other things
this year, to help the ladies of
the improvement Society keep
the streets clean. I have rubbed
chalk marks off the sidewalks
and have been very carefal not
to threw anything en the streets.
I picked up orange skins too."
There is very little "red taye"
in connection with any of these
associations. . And it "goes with
out saying" that the simple con-
stitation governing them, de
' ffiands that the work of improve-
ment begin at home, and it is
surprising how one day's work
may improve the homes of our
members and also add to the gen
eral appearance of the city.
A fee ef 50 cents annually is
subscribed by each member to
constitute a general fund to be
drawn on in meeting the expen
ses attendant on the improvement
of public places.
The next meeting will be
held at Miss Snell's residence,
Monday evening, May 6th, when
the subject ot constraction and
material fer walks will be con
sidered.
An Ounce of Prevention.
Editor Gazette: I notice
that in yonr last isssue yon have
have an article on the lateral
sewerage question that I think
i good stuff. I remember that
two rears age when our town
had a slight scourge of fever of a
lingering type, that there was a
general oatcry for lateral sewers.
The expense of sickness was
great, and there was muoh anxie
ty, sufferrng and sorrow in many
homes ifi enr city; but the fever
passed away, and so did the de
sire for the pretention of health
in the future. You will hear
persons say that we have no use
for sewerage here, that this is a
healthy town, that we do. not
have a high death rate, and
much more talk of the same kind.
I would . answer that a high
death rate is one of the things
that we are very anxious to
avoid, and especially when it
comes into our own family. We
have a healthy tows, but how
long will it remain so with the
fast growth f nurseries of di
sease that are planted in so many
places in olose proximity te
homes? If you would take a
walk with me through the alleys
and by-ways of our town and
see the filth in all forms from the
dwellings, stables, closets and
oesspools that has been accumu
lating for the last deaade or mere,
you might then think it was time
for a general clean-up, and for a
complete sewerage system.
If a scourge of typhoid fever,
or diphtheria, should spread over
our city and mark its trail with
coffins and new-made graves,
and leave in its wake doctor
bills, drug bills, nurse-hire bills,
suffering, sorrow, this hearse and
funeral procession, would it be
hard to find the cause of all of
this. An ounce of preventive is
worth more than a pound of cure
sometimes. Rex.
small But Ambitious.
Editor Gazette: Last Sat
urday evening- the "Bellfoantain
Circle of Women of Woodcraft at
Dusty, gave their first pablie at
tempt at social entertainment at
that place. There was a short
program, consisting mainly of
masic furnished by the Dusty
band, followed by a bountiful
lunch spread by the ladies of the
order. All reported an enjoy
able time. An admission fee of
ten cents was charged, and the
proceeds amounted to $12.36.
The order is small, only 18 in
number, but ambitions and earn

civilized world. ' Your naether and
grandmothers never thought of
using anything else fer indigestion
or fcilioasness. Doctors were scarce
and they seldom heard of appin
dicitia, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc. They used . August
Flower to cleanse ou the system
and stop fomentation of undi
gested food, regulate the aetien of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad 'with headaehes and
