LOCAL LOBE. "Recent Happenings in Corvallis and Vicinity. W. F. Chapman, of this city, spent last Tuesday in Albany. Born, on Saturday last, to the wife of O. V.. Johnson, , of Kings Valley, a daughter, Mrs. M. E. DeBoest, of Portland, arrived on Wednesday for a weeks Tisit with Mrs. J. Mason. Miss Effie Michael; of this city, returned home on Monday from a pleasant visit with friends in Albany. Sam Hartsock, 'Royal Shw and Alton Coates returned on the train from Albany, and will resume their studies at the O. A. C. D. B. Farley and Dallas Har pole, of Monroe, came in on Wed nesday to attend the Republican Convention yesterday .J, An Easter entertainment will be given by the Baptist Sunday School on Sunday morning- AH other services the same as usual. A cordial invitation to all. Prof. Ruthyn Turney received Tuesday through Gerhard store, a fine imported Mittenwald double bass. It is violin shaped back with ebony trimmings and is a very fine instrument. Next week, from Thursday noon to Saturday noon, April 7 to 9, by special request Dr. Lowe, the oculo optician, will be at the Occidental Hotel. He will not be in Corvallis again for six months. Remember two days only. Newport reports the hardest gale last Saturdav that has visited that section within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The gale was -almost a hurricane in force and fury. No damage is reported beyond broken windows, blown-down fences and demolished chimneys: It is surprising how some of the old buildings survived the gale. Over ou South beach the old hotel build ing was moved off its foundation. Reports from the country say there is a great amount of fallen timber and the roads are badly blocked. You are safe if you purchase Dr. ILowe's superior -glasee eye , safe and price safe. Consult him from Thursday noon -to Saturday noon, April 7 to 9. - About 150 members were present Monday afternoon at the regnlai meeting of the Ladies' Coffee Club. An interesting literary and musical programme, followed by an exhibi tion drill of the physical culture class, under the direction of Miss Helen Crawford, was rendered. Be fore adjournment an elegant lap lunch was served by the- com mittee on refreshments. 'The club has ar ranged for another of their popular dancing parties Friday evening in the City Hall. Marion Keen, the Pacific Coast representative of the stock-importing firm of J. Crouch & Sou, Jof Lafayette, Indiana, has just sold to J. K. Fawcett, of OBelltbuntaio, a three-year-old Percheron stallion, recently imported by that firm from France. The price paid was $2,500, and Mr. Fawcett will take him to his farm near Monroe. This is the eighth horse that Mr. Keen has sold in this valley during the last two years, the others being mostly of the Oldenberg breed of German coach horses. All the others have given good satisfaction to their purchasers. . Dr. Darrin, now on his way around the world for about the eighth tipe, sends us from far Bombay a copy of "'The Time3 of India", the leading English paper of that section, and a copy of the "Bombay Samachar", .printed in type that looks like a mixture of Sanscrit and Arabic, up side down. The Japanese news in the latter paper must be very in teresting, at least it looks as if a thousand men had been fighting hard, and this was their picture be fore the smoke cleared away. Dr. Darrin proposes to climb the great pyramid again before he returns, and buy himself a dog in Constanti nople, if they have any left. We wish him a pleasant journey for himself and his good wife, and a speedy return to Oregon. The knell of suspender buttons has at last been sounded says the Dry Goods Economist. After long suffering man is to be emancipated from their thraldom. The Moses which is to lead them out of Egypt is the new "Buttonless Suspender." They are provided with a neat gar ment clasp that will hold up trou sers underwear and overalls too, if desired and does away with the profanity-provoking buttons that are always dropping off when needed. These suspendeis are guar anteed not to slip or tear any gar ment. They are provided with a cast-off both in front and in back. And what is equally important they can; be retailed at the popular price of 50 cents. J. K. Fawcett, of Bellfounbii, is in town for a few days and is stop ping at the Occidental. . vjqvitations have been . issued for a dance to be given in the city this evening by the Coffee Club. Cbris. L. Hecker, is in the city, stopping at the Occidental.' He is a delegate to the county convention. -Chas. CartrightE. H. ."Relkpap. Robert Kyle, and Ed. Maxell, all of Monroe, were visiting in Corval lis yesterday.'" " John Minto, of Salem, came to Corvallis on Wednesday on a visit to Prof. J, B. Horner,: to arrange t) publish the early songs and poems of Oregon. Dr. Lowe, the optician, has been coming to Corvallis for over 14 years and this will be his twenty ninth trip. Consult him. Miss Pearl Simpson is now in Spokane under the care of a special ist, and will remain in Washington for an indefinite time. Mrs. Simp son is expected home this week. , Have Dr. Lowe cure your head and eye ache, nervous irratibihty by. removing the cause with a pair of his superior glasses. G. L. Gray, the- Grand Custodian of the Work, of the Grand Lodge. A F. & A, M., paid a fraternal and official visit to Corvallis lodge on Wednesday evening, where he worked the degree on a candidate, and was afterwards entertained at a banquet in the supper room. Best by all test, Dr. Lowe's superior glasses. , Revival services still continue at the Church, of Christ.

Burnaugh, a pioneer rancher of near Elgin, Ore., died Wednesday, as the result of an operation performed for appendicites The young man was a former student of the O. A.

A special Easter service, followed by communion, will be held in the morning.' The choir, under the leadership of Mr. Herse, have pre pared special music for the day. They will give three athems in the morning and in the evening the beautiful cantata of Thomas G. Shephard "From the Sepulchre to the Throne", consisting of male quartettes, octettes, solos and chor uses. It is similar to the one given two years ago which was so much enjoyed. A short address will be given by the pastor. The services will begin promptly at 7:30 p. m. Basket Ball .Game. . A basketball game occurred Fri day afternoon at 3:30 betweeu the Corvallis Public School team and The World, (the town team .) .The first half resulted in a Score of 10 to 7, in favor of the' School boys. And through excellent playing the game ended with a score of 16 to 9 in favor of C. P. S. The star play ers for the World were Otto Woldt and Walter Wood, while those of the Public School were Clint Cam eron, George Felton,, and Allen Hubler.

Those of the teachers who propose making trie trip are: Mrs. Emelle Shaw, Miss Minnie Scbungel, Miss ulia Hill, Miss Cora Copple, Miss Quinn, Miss Edna Groves, Mrs. Margaret Reid and Miss Deitz. DEVILMENT STILL CONTINUES This Time a Fine Tree is Ruined Reward Offered..- Hi. Another mean, low-down-trick, characteristic of a certain class of hoodlums in this city, was per petrated Wednesday evening, when the fyie ol eander tree in front of Dunn & Thatcher's gro cery store was girdled by some rascal. The tree , is a fine ' one, Mr. Dunn " having been, offered $25 for .it, hence when he came to the store yesterday morning and found the tree ruined his ire naturally ascended(tp the boiling point. Mr. Dunn"-immediately proceeded to publish a reward . ot $25 for the apprehension of the guilty party 'or parties, nd it they are caught, this vicinity will probably not be. pestered with them for a time at lease. . The offense on Wednesday evening is only a sample of a series of depredations that have been going on in this place for a number of months. Ytt no steps have been taken to free the community of these hoodlums, who are too cowardly to commit their dastardly tricks only under cover of night, and then prey on a peaceful community. vIt is high time that steps are taken to stop these pesterings. When a person cannot attend a public meeting without having to submit to their loud talk and disturbance; when a lady dare not pass along the street at night without the protection of a gen tleman; when students in com pany with young ladies, are openly insulted by these vuglar mouthed hoodlums, then we say the city and its authorities are sadly neglecting their duties. We recently had an example of negligence on the part of the lat ter when Corvallis and its college received another black eye by the actions of a few law-beaking in dividuals which could have been averted by the presence ot the night officer. -We need not men tion the instance as it is still fresh in the minds of Corvallis people. These tricks will never cease until steps are taken to convict the perpetrators. They have brok en the law time and again and had they been committed in any other town, the population one of of the state's institutions would have been increased to a consider able extent. A Chalk Talk. The people of the Pacific Coast will be especially interested in Homer Davenport, who is com ing back here from a long absence in the East, to tell us what he knows about "The Power of a Cartoon." From ' the Sound country to Southern California Davenport is known personally by hundreds of newspaper men and others, while everybody else has at least some; acquaintance with him through his pictures, which have been co'pied all over the country. ' ' . ) His ; remarkable - 'newspaper career was begun iu the Port land Oregonian.'. 'Later he was on the staffs of the San Francisco Examiner, the San Francisco Chronicle and 'unt'l quite recent ly has been with the NewYork Journal, from which he received the largest salary ever paid a newspaper artist. Now as a lecturer he is mak ing as big a success as he did as a cartoonist. His lectures are full of quaint humor, rich in per sonal anecdotes of famous men whom he has met, and especially. fascinating becanse of the gen: uinely funny pictures (yet con taining so much of; truth) which are made to grow before the eyes of his. audience, under ' deft touches of his penciL Announcement is made else where that he -will give one of his illustrated talks in this city, Saturday, April 9, for the bene fit of the athletic association. Reserved seats will be placed on sale at Graham & Wortbam's Monday morning. F. Fullerton, of Alsea, was in town "Wednesday. Ambler & Watters have sold the Meats 20 acres in Philomath- to Mrs. M. J. Morris, of McMinuville, The price paid was -.$2,250 cash. Mrs. Morris expects to improve the property right away,and takes pos session at once, lhev.have also sold the meat market in PhilomathJ to M.

It is understood that the paper is not held responsible for any opinion here expressed: Editor Gazette An instance of democratic meddling in repub lican affairs, concerning which matter you have repeatedly called the attention of the people, came under my notice a few days ago. The - business partner of one ot the Corvallis ring ot .democratic bosses, approached me and inquir ed bow I felt regarding the re publican nomination tor school superintendent, and began to urge Mr. Pratt in preference to Superintendent Denman. Now I "feel that if the democratic bosses want to put Mr. Pratt on their ticket they are at perfect liberty to do so, but for them to mder take to dictate republican nomin ations is a piece of impertinence and should be rebuked by every voter in the party. .
