TWO UiSASTROlS f.8S.
Carrier and Keeley Residences
Totally Destroyed.
Iast Sunday morning J he old
Currier residence near Ioavale
was burned to tae ground. This
was one of the most beautiful
country residences in Benton
county and is known far and
wide. The beautiful shade trees
that formed such a natural and
artistic adornment are su burned
lhat they will die.
Dick Scott, who runs the Cur
si place was dressing Sunday
aaozning and wnile making his
toilet had occasion to go into an
nnsed closet for some aruc.e
sad carried a lighted lamp. He
5ei2 the room ior a few moments
nd returned to find smoke issu
ing out. It is supposed . the fire
caught upon some of the draperies
sr clothing or the lamp, which
was left upon the table bad ex
ploded,, but just a short interval
feat! elapsed between his leaving
the room and the cry of fire.
There was a large force of men
tm hand but so rapidly and sav
agely did the flames spread that
all efforts to extinguish the
liaises proved futile. A few
valuables- were saved but prac
tically the loss is complete. The
re began in the back part of the
hoose and what articles were
saved were from the parlor and
sitting room. All kitchen utensils-
were lost. The wood shed
Tyhkh joined the main building
was- also destroyed. Had it not
fceess for the heroic . efforts of
Shose present, the barn which was
vuy sixty feet away would also
ave gone
Another fire occurred early last
week out in the hills, ten or
twelve miles from Corvallis near
George Mannings, totally de
stroying the residence of Mr.
IZeeJey. The little six-year-old
girl of Mr. Keeley displayed an
act of true hero-sm in saving her
"baby brother from an awful death.
The father and mother were
away at the time of the fire at a
neighbors grinding ' a scythe.
The little girl discovered the fiite
and ran into the bedroom where
her little brother was asleep upon
the bed, and carried him out and
over to Mr. Manning's, where
the patents were. The father re
tamed to find the house too far
;one to save anything exctpt a
few minor articles. The fire was
caused by a defective flue. The
family has but recently arrived
from the East and spent all their
mosey in buying the place and
are in destitute circumstances.
The little girl is a genuine hero
ineand-is the object of much
adoration by neighbor. A subs
cription is being taken up io l.elp
Ifce family out. All who c'esiie
io help can give the same to Rev.
Andrew Carrick or Mrs.' S. N.
Wilkins.

Norris Humphrey Insane.
Norris Humphrey well known
to many in, this city, having mar
ried Miss Grace Hanna, aCor
vallis lady, went insane at? his
home in Eugene last VweefcV-and
was taken to the state institu
tion at Salem. He was a well
known oichardist -and. - became
suddenly deranged while work
iug among his trees last Wednes
day. He was taken before judge
Kincaid and an examining board
and pronounced insane. '"The
judge ordered him committed to
the asylum. Deputies Harry
Bown and George Hunter left on
the afternoon train for Salem
with the unfortunate man in their
keeping. At the station Mr.
Humpurey exhibited much stress
of mental excitement. He paced
up and down the platform, talk
ing in a delirious manner.
It is said that financial re
verses are the cause of Mr. Hum
phrey's mental distress. At one
time he was rated as one of the
wealthiest residents of the coun
ty, but a series of losses have
made him a poor man. His de
rangement took the form of a
suicidal mania and restraint be
came necessary to prevent self
inflicted bodily harm.
It is thought that perfect rest
and quiet will bring about a per
manent cure, as his derangemer t
is believed to be but temporary.
Mr. Humphrey is about fifty
years of age and resided with his
family in the outskirts of Eugene.
Death of an Old-Time Printer.
Denard Montague, at one time
a compositor on the Corvallis
Gazette, died on Friday, in
East Portland at the age of 63
years. He was born in Illinois,
and was apprenticed to the print
er's trade at the age of 12 years.
During his life he was the editor
and owner of a number of publi
cations. Mr. Montague came to the
Coast in 1885, and went to Los
Angeles where he worked at his
trade for several years. Leaving
there he came to Oregon where
he has been connected with
newspapers in different parts of
the state. Up to a few weeks
before his death he was em
ployed in the composing-room of
the Columbia River and Oregon
Timberman, which position he
had held for five years. In all
of his duties he was ever a con
scientious and devoted man.
During the War of the Rebel
lion Mr. Montague saw much
service. He enlisted in 1861 in
the First Missouri Regiment for
three months. He then re-enlisted
for three years and fought
under General Schofield.
Mr. Montagne came from a
long line of noble and distin
guished English ancestry, and
could trace his lineage back to
one of the famous Forty Knights
who came to England with Wil
liam the Norman, A. D. 1066.
The funeral will be held under
the auspices of the G. A. R., of
which organization the deceased
was an enthusiastic member.

For nearly four years I suffered
from ovarian troubles. The doc
tor insisted on an operation as the
only way to get well. 1, however,
strongly objected to an operation.
My husband felt disheartened as
well as I, for home with a sick
woman- is a disconsolate place at
best. , A friendly druggist advised
him to get a bottle of Wine of
Cardui for me to try, and he did so.
I began to improve in a few days and
my recovery was very rapid. With
in eighteen weeks I was another
being. -
Mrs. Stowe's letter shows every fel
woman now a nome is saddened by
female weaknes and how completely
Wine of Cardui cures that sick
ness and brings health and happi
ness again. Do not go on suffer
ing. Go to your druggist today
and secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine
of Cardui. . ;
