two prominent farmers of Kings
Valley, were in Corvallis, Tuesday.
They were looking for dwelling
houss with a view to wintering in

ren could attend sehool here.
Perhaps there never was a time
when there was such a demand for
tenable dwelling houses in Corval
lis as there is at present. This
speaks well for the plaee. It is as
serted by those in a position to
know, that real estate is enjoying a
slight risa in value, and everything
indicates that city, as well as coun
try, property will be In still greater
demand in the near future.

A gentlemen who is ia a position
to know what he is talking about
stated a few days ago that during

means more to the citizens of Bea
ton than many persons realize.
Should this continue for several
years, and it is probable that it
will, "Old Benton" can snap her
finger whenever she likes.

SAD DEATH OF MRS. HECKART
Fell From the Stair Landing at Her New
Home, and Broke Her Neck.
What Is so saddea as death!
Whether tha Jast one to answer
the grim summons was called
from a life sanctified by long
sflfieriBg and disease, or was cat
off in -the very bloDm and vigor
of yotitb, we ara startled by the
suddenness Of the dissolution.
Th admonition "In the
midst of life we are in death,"
was never more impressively ex
emplified than by tha sad termi
nation of the earthly life of Mrs.
O. W. Heekart last Wednesday
night. At tho very proudest
and happiest moment of her ex
istance, when her faadest hopes
seemed soon to be realized, aad
the futare so foil of .promise.
Death's Icy fingers -cltitched her
heart.
Their new home, one of the
finest in tbe city, had jusfi been
completed, and Mr. and Mrs.
Heekart thoight it fitting that it
be dedicated by a reception held
in honor of the new pastor, Rev.
R. U Meily, of the Presbyterian
church, of which thay both were
members. Accordingly, ahotst
loo gnests resBoaded to their
kind invitation, and no more
happy gathering ever attended a
social event in this city. Glad
of her privilege - to be able to
give pleasure to her friends, Mrs.
Heckart was overjoyed.
About ii O'clock the last
guest departed, aad Mrs. Heck
art retired - to her room on the
second floor of hef dwelling.
Ever thoughtful of the comfort
ef others, she feared that a little
nephew, sleeping in an adjoining
roars, might not have safficiant
covering, and sh3 went to eare
for aim. SBortly after, Mr;
Heckart . heard a noise as of
someone falling, and he called
to his wife. There was no ans
wer. Quickly dressing himself
he lit a lamp a&d went to laves
tigate. Ia the nail at tha foot
Of the stairs, limp and ' motion
less, lay the O&g dearer to him
than life. He spoke her name,
and asked if she was severely
hurt, she seemed to have perfect
consciousness, but cosld utter no
sound. The stricken hnshand
summoned Mrs. Martha Burnett,
who aad attended the reception,
and had not yet retired at her
home across the street. Thos:
Callahan went quickly for Dr.
Pernor., but all that medical skill
and loving hands - could do was
of no avail,
"For when the morn came, dim and sad,
And chill with early showers, ,
Her quie eyelids closed ; she had :
Another morn than ours.''
No one will ever know just
how the sad fiecident -happened.
Mrs. Heckart occupied the roorB
just at the head ef the landing.
The guard to . this landing had
not yet been bail, and it is be
lieved that ia returning from
her nephew's room in the dark
ness, Mrs Heckart raiste-ok tfie
light from & window over the
stairway for the door to her room,
and stepped off the landing, fall
ing headlong to the floor some
ten feet below. Her eck was
broken and ahe'expircd In twen
ty minutes. Mrs. Carrie Heek
art wa9 born at Blakesburg,
Iowa, June 18, 1863. Bhe was
united in marriage with W. O."
Heckart at that eity, December
20, 1883,: and together they
came to Oregon la November,
1889. At the age ef 16 years
she became member of the
Presbyterian church, and "she
naited with that congregation ia
this city ia 1890. .
Mrs. Heckart was the highest
type of christian woman; devoted
to bet hnshand, true to her
friends, eharitable to all. ;. The
church and the community suf
fer Irreparable loss in the death
of so worsanly a woman. Be
sides her husband, foar brothers
and three sisters survive her. ;
The funeral services .will be
conducted at the Presbyterian
chutch by Rev, Meily this after
noon at a 130- o'clock and inter
ment will occflr al Crystal Lake
cemetery.
