CORVALLIS i A Vol. XLI. Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon, Friday, Septiibs BROKE HsS NfcCK. Clarence Smith Falls From His Wagon Expires Instantly. Clarence Smith fell from his wagon on Main street Wednes day night at about 7:30 o'clock and died instantly of a broken neck. Smith, who lives with his mother about two miles south 011 the state road, came into town during the day and put up his team at the City Stable. He transacted business during the afternoon and drank some. When he called for his team to go home those standing near noticed that when he climbed into his wagon he was somewhat groggy, but all thought that he was perfectly able to take care of himself. The horses started off at a rapid trot, Smith standing up in his wagon, because he had no seat. When he left the barn he said he would stop at the "Leo" and get another bottle of whiskey. A number of people people were still on ,the street when the wagon 1 turned round the corner and the unusual noise attracted considerable attention. The horses were reined in with such violence when opposite Carl Hodes' bakery as to cause the wagon suddenly to stop. The reaction threv Smith ff his feet and he fell headlong over the side of the wagon. His head and shoulders struck the ground first, the head doubling under in such a manner as to receive the whole weight of the body upon the neck. The team started to run but was caught before it had run far and several bystanders Tushed to where the helpless form of Smith lay upon the ground. Mr. Hammersley, a gentleman from Roseburg, was the first to ireach him, " which was but a few seconds later and the dying man was gasping his last. ' , , Some supposed that Smith ' died of heart disease brought on by continued . drinking, but a post mortem examination by Dr. Lee established the fact that Smith came to his death from a broken neck. The body was taken to the family residence in this city, and the iuneral will occur today at the residence and will be conducted by Dr. Thomp son f Independence and burial will take place in Crystal Lake cemetery. Smith was perhaps 28 years of age, was married several years ago but has since been divorced. John Vineyard Has Trouble. On September 23 24 the fall term in the Corvallis Business College will open for another year's work . Monday afternoon John Vine yard and Miss Flora Rhoades were united in marriage, Rev. T. T. Vincent officiating. This part of the program' came as a genuine and pleasant sensation to John's friends who were glad to see him take this decided step towards reformation. John told the clerk that he was 25 years old when he applied for a license and he would perhaps have spoken trnly had he said he was twice that age, but who has a right to find fault with a man, if he tries to be young again? Cupid, however, did not consult the father-in-law, Rhoades, when he sought to unite these two loyal hearts, and that was the cause of what transpired Tues day, the next day after the wed ding. Mr. Vineyard appeared before Justice Holgate and sought to have Mr. Rhoades placed un der bonds to keep the peace. It appears that when John and' his wife returned from their honey moon trip the father-in-law met them at the door with the pater nal shotgun instead of the pro verbial caress. Mr. Rhoades has all along obiected to Vineyard courting his daughter and on one occasion threatened to take his life if he .did not cease his atten tions. No serious thought was given to the threats of the old gentleman until Monday night when they returned and were made to look down the barrels of a big shot gun. - The father in sisted that the daughter renounce the allegience she had just taken to Vineyard and go home. An argument ensued in which the temper of the father and the fright of the pair were consid erably mollified and the acute and critical stage of the episode was passed without serious cb tri plications. It was the plan of the lovers to elope for a few hours then come back and beg papa's pardon. They eloped al right but the pardon is pending. All interested parties were before Justice Holgate, Tuesday and the matter was amicably settled, Mr. Rhoades agreeing to behave himself if the son-in-law would do the same. John was too full for utterance when he went home that night so happy was he that all things had turned out well, that have escaped the vigilance of the authorities, the disease has run its course and has been blot ted out. The last case was dis posed of Monday, when the yel low flag was taken down from the McLagan home, where Mrs. Gray has been urder quarantine for the past two weeks. The ex pense incurred by the city in caring for those who have been sent to the pest house, also in. all other cases in which the city has borne .the expense has amounted to a considerable sum. Smallpox, besides being a very unwelcome guest, requires toa much attention and expense to maintain, so Corvallis bids it a long adieu. No Smallpox Here. - So far as is now known not a single case of smallpox exists in Benton county and it is sincerely hoped that it will never appear again. Unless there are cases SB Dr. ilrthar J.

The Oregon Agricultural Col lege display at the State Fair this year is the best that has ever been sent from that .institu tion. It was truly representative of the grand educational work being done, and attracted much favorable comment and attention Irom Fair visitors. Prof. Pernot exhibited a set of test tubes showing the cultures of living germs both of disease pro ducing and economic character. Among the latter is the germ that sours milk and which is of value in butter and cheese-mak- ig. Among the disease produc ing germs exhibited are those that produce consumption in cattle and poultry," that cause lumpy jaw in cattle," those that produce abscesses, and many other species of organism s that cause diseases in domestic animals and poultry. The same department also contributed a model cheese box for use in cur ing canned cheese. . Prof. Shaw contributed a fine display of stuffed birds of species that prey upon insect pests, that are of great benefit to the horti culturists and agriculturists of the country. Prof. George Coote's exhibit comprised over 200 varieties of large and small fruits and the agricultural department con tributed a large variety of grains, grasses and forage plants. Prof. Lake exhibited student drawings of plants and botanical specimens representing class work at the college. Samples of tools and machines made by students were contributed by the iron work de partment, and Prof. F. A. Kent had an interesting exhibit of cheese, showing the amount of cheese a given amount of milk will produce One of the most instructive displays was from the chemical department. In it there was a showing, by chemical analysis, of the digestible nutriment of wheat, oats, hay, millstuffs and other animal foods, showing the value of each for feeding pur poses The whole exhibit was in structive in character, and will do much to exemplify the scien tific and practical character of the worK conducted and the in struction given at this college, which is one f the best in the United States.
