Lewis, a brother of A..E. Lewis of this city, .ar rived in Corvallis on the 1 130 train from Albany, Tuesdav. He came direct here from Oelweiri, Iowa, for the purpose of visiting his brother. - : ' - Melville C. Lewis was aged 55 years and had been in ill health for some ti me and it had - been hoped that the trip to the coast would prove beneficial for him. He had many "old friends among the Iowa people who have settled in this city and called to see a number of them on the after noon of his arrival. In the evening several friends called at the home of A. E- Lewis and. visited with the recent arrival. It was noticed that Melville Lewis was not in a very cheerful frarne of mind; his "mel ancholy was -mistaken for the weariness that would naturally be ascribed to so long a trip, es pecially for a" man in ill hea'th. He retired that evening without giving any evidence 01 contem plated suicide. About 5 130 Wednesday morn ing A. Ji. Lewis arose ani went into the kitchen to build a fire While thus engaged his brother passed through the room and went outside. Shortly thereafter A: E- Lewis ieard, a shot and thought some of the neighbors had fired at a cat or some .such thing. Directly after this he went to the woodshed and nearly fell over trie Doay 01 nis orotner as he stepped into the shed - Melville C. Lewis had shot himself in the left temple and the bullet had -' passed through his head and was found embedded in the woodshed door. -A 38 calibre revolver was used to com mit the deed. - - - The deceased was a widower and has one married daughter living in Iowa. - Several years ago he lost his wife and one child. bratei "Ploughing in Arcadia." While on the subject of pictures there may also be seen, in the north end of the Foreign Exhibit Building one of the most famous pictures in the world. This is none other than the largest" and best known of Rembrandt's works, the celebrated "Night watch." This painting is 15x30 ' feet in size, was painted ia 1642, and has remained in the city of Am sterdam for 260 years. The pic ture represents the march out of Frans Baumng Cocq's company ot musketeers, through the high arenway ot tneir L,ule, crossing tae street in iront or it, and go ing up a bridge." To the lover of the beautiful in art, the picture needs no further mention. The visitor who takes a hur ried look through the buildings is apt to miss some of the best things. One exhibit that should not be missed is the Curtis col lection of Indian Photos. This is located at the south end, east side, of the Forestry building, on the second and third gallery floors. These photos are without doubt the finest, not onlx in the ExDOsition, but on the Pacific Coast. They represent some of the most remarkable scenery of Arizona, New Mexico and the Southwest Country, in addition to scenery and natives of Alaska, Apache, Sioux, TJte and.Moki Indians, in characteristic attitude-; Indian villages, cliff dwell ings, feast day revels, dances, ceremonies and processions. On the whole there is not a finer ex hibit on the grounds aud : it is one that should not be missed. 35th - JiM- BBth As this week marks the Thirty-fifth year that I have been in business in Corvallis, L wish first to thank my patrons and friends for the liberal patronage they have extended me, and to announce that, as has been my custom.

Toms Ths Whits House, Corvallis visitors have been rare tins weet, outside 01 tne OAC boys, who strode through the buildings and grounds quite frequently. We noticed Mrs. Whitby and sons early ; in the week, taking careful note of the exhibits; and later met Mr., Osburn, wife "and daughter. By Sunday, the last of the cadets will have departed for home, and Benton County will be represented only by the occasional tourist. We would like to take this opportunity to impress upon all visitors from Benton county the necessity of calling at the Booth in the -Agri cultural :' building and leaving their names on the register there. The shipment "of .cherries re ceived this week at - the booth has attracted a great deal of at tention.; It is certainly as fine, if not finer, than any similar ex hibit in the Agricultural building. The other fruits and the vege tables have also been well ' spok en of. The exhibit looks much better since the recent additions, but is still smaller than it should be we still need some more. The principal event si this week has been the opening of the Art Gallery, situated -iust m front of trie Forestry Building Here may be .found over 600 paintings that are well worth the seeing. : ; The original picture of Millais, "The Man With The Hoe," is to be found in one of the rooms of the west gallery.
