A gentleman who has a room in the central part of the city has made up his mind that the cow of one of his neighbors needs killing, or else the owner. Every morning at " o'clock the cow begins to bawl and continues to give tongue until 8 o'clock, at which time her owner milks her. After a cow has fretted for a number of hours her milk be comes more or less poison, and the roomer savs it would suit him if the owner of the cow would drink the milk instead of giving it to the children. Two brothers named Lucey ar rived in Corvallis, Saturday, from Iowa, on a tour of inspec tion of the Pacific coast. They left vesterdav on their return home. These gentlemen are old friends of J. M. Cameron of this city. They are delighted witn this section of Oregon, and as a number of parties in the East are waiting for their report before starting for this ccast, it is quite nrobable that they will come to this locality. Wanted. Tebuy three young, sound, shapely mares, 1200 to 1300 lbs weight each. En quire at this office. ore. Saturday, C. A. Barnhart took the initial steps toward Snaking a voluntary assignment iji favor of his creditors. He will petition for the favor of the bankrupt law and will turn everything in his Daint store over to his Creditors. Mr. Barnhart states that he has done everything in hisjpower to make the business a success, but was unable to place the concern on a paying basis simply; because the trade in this city was insuffi cient to float such an establish ment. I For some time past Mr. Barn hart and his sons have been con tracting and working on?, the side and putting their earnings into the business of the paint store in the hope that they might even tually be able to stenr the tide that had set against them and be enabled to pull through all right, but to no avail. In making an assignment nothing pertaining to the paint store will be held back, but a clear statement will be made to the court and creditors and the store and sfock turned over to them. Mr. Barnhart does not think that when matters are straightened out anybody. will be loser on the proposition, as he is positive that there is stock enough on hand to cover all his liabilities. This is too bad, and we are sorry that business should have been so poor with Mr. Barnhart that he should have felt obliged to close his store and make an assignment, but under t the cir cumstances it was the only hon orable thing to do. Makes Light of It. An Albany paper endeavors to make light of the accident which recently befell Mr. and Mrs. An drews and Mrs. ,Riley, owing to the collapse of a bridge in Linn county. It says, "The structure went down a short distance into shallow water and deep mud be low, the carriage tipping over. None, though, was seriously hurt. Judge Palmer visited them at Corvallis, Monday night, and found them in excellent spir its, thankful that if was no worse. They were invited to meet the county court at Albany and satisfactory arrangements will be made to satisfy whatever damage was done. ' ' 1C 1 It had been more to the pa- Ill Fayor o; per' credit to;,teU lv?.w fetWUyiihe jigger. . Tlie gnn was discharged just the accident resulted how Mrs. Riley is still suffering from par alysis of both her arms, with doubts of full recovery, while Mr. Andrews will be confined to his home for weeks, because of a broken leg and to have taken the county court sharply to task for permitting a condition to ex ist which threatened the lives of the traveling public. Continuing, the same authori ty states: "Roadmaster Hackleman last week notified the court .of the dangerous condition of the bridge, a six-year-old structure, and ar rangements were made to repair it Tuesday, being delayed on ac count of other work." Yet no warning to the public was posted upon tne structure. The "damage done" should cost Linn county considerable. A Shocking Accident. Dr. Cathev went to Blodgett late Saturday evening in response to a telephone message calling him to the bedside of the little daughter of William Gellatly who was suffering from the effects of a shocking accident. The little girl had been kicked on the fore head by a horse, the blow raising the skull. When Dr. Cathey examined the wound, he advised taking her to Salem for treat ment, which was done. Mr. Gellatly was with his threshing outfit on Soap creek when the accident happened. His brother, David, was phoned to in this city and he left imme diately for Soap creek where he found William and they hastened to Blodgett. Ati Elegant Residence.

UiDson , ana Air. Farra 13 to be congratulated that he was able to secure the services of so skilled a mechanic. Mr. Gib- ann fumPi to this citv last fall from the iSast. where he was ' recognized as an architect of ability. The fact that hp. has been able to secure so excellent a contract after so short a rpsidenrifi here, is ereatlv to his irrpnir,. 1 ? . Dr. Farra's new residence will nrohahlv he the finest and most ele gant one qf its dimensions in this city.. It will be 6bxii leet, two stories high, and will cost $ 5,U00 or 6,000.

It will be a mon ument to Mr. , Gibson's skill hB a mechanic, for it is doubtful if work of this nature is to be found in this part of the country. Hand-Carved Chessboard.' An unique and beautiful specie men of hand carving in wood -is now on exhibition in the display window of F. L. Miller's estab lishment in this city. The" work was done by William Emory, for merly of Corvallis, and it was brought over recently from New port by Attorney W. E. Yates, who secured it from Mr. Emory, who is now a resident of that place. For a number of years, Mr. Emory has been hunting seals in the North Pacific for a San Francisco Company, and during odd times on shipboard, has -employed himself in fashion ing various articles in wood, and he is an adept at this kind ' of work. Given a variety of fine woods, a pocket knite and a. glue pot, and Mr. Emory will fashion articles beautiful in design and perfect in workmanship. The specimen of his handiwork nowjon exhibition is a chessboard, eighteen inches square, and in laid with seven varieties of wood; among them, Mahogony, Wal nut, Elm, Beech and Maple. The woods are all in the natural state, without finish or polish. The joints all fit perfectly, and the colors of the various woods harmonize beautifully. Wilbur Starr Shot. Wilbur Starr was the victim of an acci dent, Friday evening, which may result in the loss of his left leg from the knee. He was going rabbit hunting in compa ny with Rev. Peck, of Monroe, and the latter came to Mr. Start's home on Mud dy, from which point tftey were to start. Mr. Starr filled the magazine of his Win chester shotgun with caitridges and laid the weapon on the ground while he went into the house to see his wife. The min ister the gun up and threw it to his shoal der "to see how it worked." He pointed it in the direction of the door through which Mr. Starr had passed, and pulled as Mr. . Starr was emerging from the house, and the charge of No. 5 shot struck him in the back of the left leg just above and below the knee, three of the shot entering the left leg. He was only about SO feet distant from the gun, and the wound is a severe one. Dr. Ben. nett attended the wounded man, and re moved seven of the shot. It is impossi ble yet to tell how serious the injury is. Additional Local. Wall paper new desigus, at Barnhart's. Calling cards for the ladies at the Gazette office.
