transact some College business. , He
is looking well and hearty, and
speaks enthusiastically of the politi
cal situation. He is confident the
Rapublicans will win in the coming
county contest, as the people are
disgusted with the hot-air bosses
who have, so long made catspaws of
the rank and file of the honest Dem
ocrats for their own personal profit.
It gets monotonous when part of
.i i : j a . . t
me cauuuiaies win every time ana
the losers are beginning to suspect
they are not being treated square
by the men who give them nothing
but nominations, and assess them
heavily to pay the expenoes of the
campaign. Candidates wuo are put
up merely to be traded for the ben
efit of the bosses, cannot be expect
ed to become over-enthusiastic. The
honest people of the county are be
ginning to long for a change in this
rule or rum policy, and the certain
ty of Republican succes is more ap
parent every day. The Senator re
turned to Portland on Monday.

Committed to Asylum.
Miss Rose Seeley and Miss Atta
Bray of this city, adherants to the
"Holy Roller" sect were arrested
Friday morning at the Farmers
Hotel taken to the Court House,
examined as to sanity and were
committed to the State Insane Asy
lum at Salem. They came to the
Farmers Hotel Wednesday evening
and were followed b y Mr. Hartley
who apked Mr. Howell the propri
etor to make complaint to the county
Judge. They ate neither supper
nor breakfast but it was discovered
later that they had a basket of pre
serves, bananas etc. These no doubt
were supplied by accomplices still
remaining in the city.
When taken before the Judge,
Miss Seely answered such questions
as she chose. When asked concern
ing the peculiar belief of the sect,
she refused to answer. Both girls
are young and quite pretty. The
sheriff had no difficulty with his
charges as both seemed willing and
are anxious to be sent away. It
is the evident intention of law-abiding
citizens to rid the city entirely
of this foolish outfit. If there were
no other reasons for sending them
away; their reckless disregard for
decency and the sancityof the home
would be just and sufficient cause.
There was a small blaze yesterday
at out noon in the roof of Small's candy
store, caused by a spark alighting upon
the roof. The fire was discovered in
time and extinguished before any serious
damage was done. This makes the
third fire within a week caused by con-
jested or defective flues. The property
owners should see that their cbimmeys
are swept before the dry weather sets in
Death of Mr. Jacobs.
M. Jacobs died at the family
residence in this city Thursday
evening.
He had been ; ill about four
weeks and at times it was thought
he would recover but his ad
vanced age was against him. His
illness followed a day ot over ex
ertion, leading to the complica
tions which caused his death.
Deceased was 82 years of age
at the time of his death and had
spent 46 of the best years of his
life in this city. He identified
himself, untiringly with the
financial, social and educational
interests of the community. For
many years he was senior member
of the firm of Jacobs & Neugass,
one of the most prominent com
mercial houses in the Willamette
valley a few decades ago. He
served a term as mayor of Cor
vallis, was chiefly instrumental
in securing the permanent loca
tion of the Agricultural i College
at this place and at all times has
been a just, energetic and far
sighted citizen.
His funeral took place, from the
family residence Sunday, under
the auspices of the I. O. O. F.
lodge. Tb.e remains were taken
to Portland the. same "day and
were interred in the Jewish ceme
tery Monday afterndon.
Mr. Jacobs was the - father of
Mrs. Chas. Kohn of Portland,
now in Europe; Isador Jacobs of
Portland, and Mrs. Rose Selling,
and Misses Sarah and.Eda Jacobs
of Corvallis. A widow is among
the survivors. The sympathy, of
a host of friends is extended to
these in their bereavement.
In the death of Mr. Jacobs the
city loses a highly respected and
influential citizen and one ot its
old landmarks.

mark in winning the confidence and es
