that Mr. Elgin wasdead before he

Little Girl Missing.
The little fourteen-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. J.
Casterline has been missing since
yesterday -morning about. 4
o'clock. She arose at that hour,
and replied to an inquiry by her
father, who heard ' her moving
about, that she wanted a drik.
Nothing has been seen of her by
the family since. When they
rose at the usual hour, the little
Miss was gone, and so were her
best ha t and dress. . c

gone to the home of her uncle at
Bellfountain, where -the family

but the fire had gained great

originated in an old shed in the

and the barn adioining was a

A good breeze was blowing from
the east, and the low wooden

The Crowd Was Orderly.
The excursionists who came
to Corvallis from Portlaud last
Sunday, were of a different ele
ment from the band of rowdies
that visited us from that city last
spring. 1 Here were a few hilar
ious youngsters in the party, but
the committee of Foresters, who
had charge of. the excursion,
were quite as' anxious to have
these fellows disciplined as were
the local officers. So when Mr.
Burns, brother of that celebrity
of the metropolis who answers to
the euphonious appellation ; of
At a special session of the coun
cil August 24th, the following
matters were given considera
tion:
Bids, were opened for the con
struction of a sewer through
Diocks 4 and 5; U. TV, as fol
lows: Jacobsen, Babe & Co,,
$870; J. R. Smith & Co, $775.
The contract was awarded to the
lowest bidder.
Objection was made to the in
troduction of ordinances licens
ing billiard and pool tables, and
they were laid on the table. .
In the drawing of lots for the
short and long terms, Council
men Avery and Taylor drew the
three-year ' terms . and Council
men Porter and Cameron wii
serve for two years. ;' . .
The matter of cleaning the
College ditch was referred to the
sewer committee, with, power to

were soon emptied
of their contents. The loss sus
tained by these parties was due
entirely to the rouh handling
their goods received while m
transit from counlers and shelves
to the middle of the street. Mr,
Dunn was insured in the Scot
tish, Union and National for
$1560.
The building occupied by Mrs.
Gould is the property of the
Hayes heirs, and it was only
slightly damaged. The build-
just "north "was "owned by "Wm.
Groves, and this together with
the building, the property of
Mrs. Helms, is a total loss.
Each was , worth $ 400 or $500,
Neither was. insured. Mrs. Mil

where Dunn conducted his com

damage. J. K. Berry estimates

She was insured for $500.
The cause of the conflagration
is not known. It originated in
an old shed across the alley from
Winegar's stables. It is thought
that some of the excursionists
entered the shed to take a drink, i
lighted cigar stump. Mr. Dunn

Much credit is due to the fire de

to such a small district. The
alarm was turned in at 4:50 and
the fire apparatus was put back
in the engine house an hour later.
