" It was a big improvement, but our residents will greatly appreciate a little effort by the authorities in keeping the crosswalks cleaner in the different parts of the resident section of the city. Better let the teams go through the mud it won't hurt them than the citizens , wade in mud to the ankles. - A mistake crept into our columns of last issue in an article headed, "Divorce .Granted." The parties divorced were Gabriel Long and Ellen Long, and not Fred Elliott and Ada Elliot, as we stated. The latter persons were participants in a suit for partition of real property and as the two cases were recorded on the same page at the clerk's office, by a mistake the reporter copied the wrong names when tak ing the particulars in the divorce case, Supt. Geo. W. Den man has en-! larged the Benton County School Journal, the last addition being a two-page insert, making in all ten pages. The Journal is brimful of interesting news for the teacher and scholar and each month a copy finds its way into every home in the county. Nearly every business firm in Corvallis and Philomath carries an ad in fact, Mr. Den-j man is receiving every encourage ment from reader and advertiser. E . -i . .

From sale of baskets and contributions over $70 was raised. Th;s is truly prac ticing fraternity. It stamps this order as a true dieciple of charity and benevolence. Such an order as this deserves' the highest praise for such a worthy effort to add omfort to the homes of its unfor tunate members.

Finest Laboratory on the Coast Now Being Added. One of the finest chemical lab oratories on the coast is now in process of constructing in the Agricultural Hall, the entire south half of the first floor being given over to this purpose. The main laboratory contains six long desks, with places for 96 students, and also a desk on a platform for the instructor. The tops of these desks are made of California redwood, two inches thick. This wood has twice been treated with each of two preserv ing solutions, and now are receiv ing a coat of linseed oil. after which they will be covered with parafine wax, making the wood almost impervious to the action of chemicals. Each student is provided with a locker and key, where he may keep all of his ap paratus, consisting of test-tubes, beakers, etc., while on top of the desks are placed shelves for the smaller bottles of chemicals. Situated about the room are shelves for the more bulky bot tles of reagents. One especial convenience of this laboratory is a series of circular porcelain sinks or basins placed every four feet along the middle of desks, giving one basin to every four workers. Along the north side of the room is placed a loner glass cabinet containing "hoods" for carrying. oft gases. All experiments liable to generate gases of an obnoxious nature are performed in this cabinet - Opening off the main room are j two smaller ones in which all of the chemical supplies are stored, one for the main laboratory and one for the station laboratory. The station laboratory is situated j on the second floor of the build ing, and is furnished similar to I the Students' laboratory, except in size, having dishes for only 24 workers. . - It is said by those who have seen the laboratories of Berkeley and Cornell, that thev are no larger nor better equipped than those of O. A. C, DEATH OF B. P. CARDWELL An Old Corvallis Citizen Passes Away in ' Portland Byron P. Card well, an- Oregon )ioneer of 1852, and one of Port and's most widely knownciti zens, died at his home at 395 Fourth street, at 1:15 o'clock Thursday afternoon. In Augus t he was stricken with heart trouble, which resulted in his death. He was born in Spring field, 111., March 3, 1832 and was the son of Wm. Lee and Mary Ann Biddle Cardwefl. At the age of 20 he accom panied his parent to Oregon, driv ing his own ox - team across the plains, and arriving at Marysville, now known as Corvallis, on Oc tober 8, 1852. The family took up donation land claims on what is now called Card well Hill, and Byron Card well raised blooded horses and cattle in partnership with his uncle, the late Hamil ton Campbell. With the late W. B. Carter, formerly editor of the Gazette, he drove a large pack string of mules between Corval lis, Yreka, Cal., and Jacksonville, Or., for several years. In 1856 he was married to Miss Abbie M. Clarke. In 1858 he moved to Portland and formed a copartner ship with Joseph Buchtel in the photograh business, which con tinued until he was appointed a Deputy Collector ot "Internal Revenue by President Lincoln about 1861; which position he held for 21 years. He was a life-long republican, and an earnest worker for the party's success. During Gover nor Moody's administration he was appointed Police Commis sioner for Portland, and by suc cessive re-elections by the people remained as such for nine years. In 1894 he was elected a member of the state legislature. At the last election he was compelled by a committee of citizens to accept the seat in the city council for the Fifth Ward. His religion was the golden rule, and it is doubtful if he had an enemy 1 on earth. He was a man of the strictest business in tegrity, and his "word was as good as his bond." 4 He is survived by his wife and his son, Dr. Herbert W. ; by three brothers, Dr. James R. and Chas. EL, of this city, and Richard H. Cardwell of San Francisco, and by two sisters, Mrs. Olena M. Murray, and Mrs. Martha A. Dalton. The late Dr. William B. Cardwell and the late Mrs. Geo. E. Cole were his brother aad sister. A daughter Alice, died in 1863. 0 A. C. ABE LOGIN ACQUITTED Judge Scores Jury for Returning Such a Verdict. The Jury in the case of Abe Logan, the Indian accused of murdering TJ. S. Grant, upon the Siletz reservation, dumbfounded the court and everyone who heard the . evidence, in the case by re turning a verdict of not guilty yesterday morning. Judge Bell inger took occasion to express his surprise at the outcome, and also to administer a gentle scoring to the jury for returning such a de cision. He then scored the In dian, and told him that he was guilty of implication in the crime even though he had been declar ed innocent by the jury. The judge declared that the jury was influenced in coming ' to the de cision it did by pity for the wife and children of the defendant. When the verdict was an nounced in; the courtroom an audible expression of disapproval of the result went over the entire audience. To those who had listened to the evidence against both men accused of the crime, it seemed a traversity upon jus tice that Logan should be set free and Martin, against whom there was less substantial evidence, should have to serve time for manslaughter. After listening to the verdict the judge turned to the jury and said: "This has been a failure of jus tice. Out ot respect and feelieg for the wife and little ones of this defendant, you have been led to acquit. Such a verdict as this must result disastrously to all residents of the Siletz reserva tion." To the acquitted prisoner he addressed these words: "Logan you are acquitted; but think you are a bad man and that you killed Grant. The iurv gave you the benefit of a reason able doubt, but had I been on the jury I would at least have brought in . a verdict of man slaughter. The blood of. Grant is on your hands, and I give you tair warning that your escape from the punishment that you no doubt deserve, does not argue that you would go free a second time, and I advise you to keep out of this court." The displeasure of the Indians at the result of Martin's trial was increased by the result ofAogan's. They did' not Ifiesi&te'tl express it, as their opinion that there had been a slip in justice somewhere, and that it was the height of in justice to convict Martin upon the weak testimony against him, and allow a man against whom the strongest evidence was introduced to go free. By some of the Fed eral officials, trouble is looked for among the Red . Men as a result of the acquittal of Logan. He is not liked by other residents of the reservation, it is stated, and one government fficer said that he would not be the least sur prised if Logan were killed by the Indians in revenge. The ex pressed belief among the Indians who have been m attendance upon the trial is that Logan is the guilty man, and that he killed Grant himself and attempted to lay the crime at Martin's door to shield himself. Logan, it is said, bears a bad reputation upon the reservation, and the other Indians do not like him. Oregonian. Oik Grove Items. James Johnson made a busi ness trip to Albany, Monday.

In the matter of college foot ball championship in the West there is more of a muddle than ever, and as things now 'stand it is hardly possible that any pre sumptuous eleven will claim the honors on the comparative show ings that have been made. Wash ington would like to claim the championship, but cannot con-? sistently do so. For instance, 1 Washington defeated Corvallis 1 earlier in the season, 5 to o. Ne vada tied with Stanford and beat Berkeley, but was in turn de feated by Washington, 2 to o; Puget Sound, 10 to o, and Cor vallis, 15 to o. Here we have a case of Washington beating Neva da by a smaller score than ti e Oregon farmers, who previously went down before the men frcm the North. Truly there is little use ot a "dope' dook wnen it comes' to estimating anything re garding football. One game is hardly sufficient to determine the merits of any two teams. Tele gram. The Oregonian in speaking of the Nevada team's career, says: "Nevada had taken a slump, possibly not before the Seattle game, but certainly since then. At all events, after their career in the Northwest, if any team is to claim the Coast championship it is Corvallis, and that team has not had the presumption to claim the honors. The only conclu sion is that there is no champion ship on the Coast this year." If the footqall season was now beginning instead of having end ed, the matter of settling the Coast championship would be an easy matter. Corvallis ended the season in such a whirlwind style that it could have claimed the Coast championship and backed up her claim by a clear string of victories. Philomath Jottings. F. P.
