(HE C0RVALL1S GAZETTE, TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1903. Not His Firsts Experience: The following dispatch from San Francisco, under date of Au gust 12, will call to the mind of all old Corvallisites a tormer resi dent of this city, who, as Dr. Smith, furnished much food for the gossips. Dr. Smith resided in the house, now occupied by C. A. Gould, on the corner of 3rd and Van Buren streets.' He had a pretty home and a fountain added attractiveness to his well kept lawn. He enjoyed life. bmitn was too common a name for him, and when Dr. Agnew gained fame as the phvsician of President 'Garfield in his last ill ness, Dr. Smith took the neces sary legal steps to acquire the name of"Xgew. His brother, George Smith, was a Corvallis jeweler for a number of years. The dispatch follows : A sen sation of more than usual spici ness is occasioned here by young and attractive Susie P. Agnew bringing suit for divorce against her husband, Dr. William Penn Agnew, the well-known special ist. Mrs. Agnew was Miss Susie Thompson, of Portland, Or., and met the doctor first in that city, he is well known. Early last December they were married in this city, but by (Christmas time, it is alleged, the doctor began abtsing his young wife, with the intention of forcing her to leave mm; also saving he had made a mistake in marrying her, and of fered her $250 if she would re turn to her mother in Portland. Now the wife files a suit for a di vorce, charging her husband with cruelty and abuse, and nam ing Rev. William Lay son, who is an attorney as well as a preach er, with acting as an emissary for her husband by trying to in duce her to sign a paper agreeing to the separation on receipt ot $250. Layson is a lifelong friend of Agnew, and married the couple who lived happily only ts davs, Mrs. Agnew says that Agnew has a big practice and sports an auto mobile. She also claims that he has money in the bank, and asks $75 per. month ali mony. Records here show that it will not be Agnw's first experience in a divorce suit, for 15 years ago he "was divorced from Rachel Ag new at Corvallis, O. Dr. Agnew-is well known in the Northwest, where he -married his first wife, and first met the present Mrs. Agnew while visit ing in the Willamette River City, It is said that Mrs. Agnew will not return to her parents until she has secured a divorce and separation from her peculiar spouse.' Home From Alaska. Geo, Smith, who left Corvallis oa the 26th of last January for Valdez, Alaska, arrived home yesterday. Mr. Smith was one of the first to reach Nizina, 225 miles irora Valdez in the interior, and was one of the last to leave. In that section and the Tanana country, Mr. Smith says gold can be found in any creek, but not in paying quantities. ' There was a great rush of people into tnat country and it was thor oughly prospected. At one time Fairbanks, the prinoipal city had a population of 6,000 and when Mr. Smith .left for home only about 60 persons remained. The trip1 from Nizina to Val dez was made by the party of 22, f which Mr. Smith wns a mem ber, in 1 days Only one of this party had anything to show for his months 01 labor and hard ship. The others were losers in sums ranging from $roo to $10, 000. On the wav home the steamer touched at Juneau, wnere Mr. omita saw Nick Bae sen. The latter is in excellent health, and was delighted to see one from whom he could learn news of his numerous acquaint ances in Corvallis. The Spauldlng Contests. As noted before in these col umns, the contests against two of tne bpaulding homestead claims, in this couny, were heard at Ore gon pity before the U. S. land fficials there, and as we go to i, . press ue remaining two contests areroceeding before the county kmthis city. The interest ing feature of these contests is, that iihey Telate to a sect ion of land heavily timbered, and worth several thousand do'lars. The jppntestaiits claim that the home? steaders have not made the claims their homes, in the sense required by the government, nor made such improvements as the law requires. The bear ing now in progress is to take tbe testimony of witnesses who have knowledge of tbe matter. and then tbe cases go to the Ore gon Lity laud offices for argu ment by counsel, and their decis ion would be subject to appeal to the General Land Office if the losing party should be dissatisfied with their decision. !

T.iose who search the Scripture will find thereinjwords advising mankind not to make a pracice of hiding lights under a bushel. We do not know that it was from studying tbe Bible that Dr. Darrin got the idea of advertising, but we do know that since he has resided in Albany the doctor has not been afraid to ns'e print er's ink. Experience has proven to the doctor that in no other way can the afflicted learn so quickly that there is a pres.nt opportunity to be healed; that chronic cases can be cured; that new life and energy can be imparted to those within whose breasts hope of health had al most ceased to exist; that the worthy poor can be treated free; that all others can receive treatment at a price to ac commodate their means at his office in the Revere House. , A a HATEFUL PATIENT.

"After my first baby was born I did not seem to regain my strength although the doctor gave me atonic which he consid ered very superior, but Instead cf getting better I grew weaker every day. My Hus band insisted that I take Wine of Cardul tor a week and see what it would do for me. I did take the medicine and was v ery grateful to find my strength and health slowly returning. In two weeks I was out of bed and in a month I was able to take up my usual duties. I am very enthusi- astic in its praise.' Wine of Cardui reinforces the organs of generation for the ordeal of preg nancy and childbirth. It prevents mis carriage. No woman who takes Wine of Cardui need fear the coming of her child. If Mrs. Unrath baa taken Wine of Cardui before her baby came she would not have been weakened as she was. Her rapid recovery should commend this great remedy to every expectant mother.
