Emery Newton is a Benton coun ty boy, born on a f-irm a few miles west of Corvallis, where he has lived with his parents for the past 25 years. He is in overy way a competent and reliable man and n graduate of OAC. He has always been a republican and ia entitled to the loyal support of his party in Benton county in his candidacy for election to the office of county re corder. The Times would have you be lieve that Buch loyal, old time re publicans as Messrs. Belknap, Jolly, VVilIiatn8 and Edwards were bolters. Afck t'uese gentiemen if they did not go into the primaries with an equal chance to win as other men, and if thy were not prepared to abide by the decision of the yotes of their party?

Two members of the fraternity of genteel beggars operated in Corval lis Wednesday. They claimed to hive been rendered deaf and dumb by typhoid fever, and it was their desire, as stated on their printed postal cards, to pecure sufficient funds to engage in some small busi nees enterprise of their own. At a local confectionery establishment they drank eoda water, bought candy and bananas and seemed to be living in the upper story gen erally, which is the case nine times i out of ten with well dressed, able bodied beggars of their type. A large audience witnessed the rendition cf "The Flower Queen" at, the opera house Monday even ing given under the auspices of the Congregational ladies, Mrs. E. F. Green being the director. By the skillful use of small fir trees the scene was seemingly that of a for est, and was very pretty. There were pleasing solos, duets, semi cioruses and choruses, each per former doing credit to herself and to those who had spent eo much time in planning and preparing the affair. Mrs. Berchtold, Mrs. Pet erson, Misses Marie Peland, Edna Allen, Marie Cathey, Gertrude Mc Bee, Hettie Lilly, Marian Chappell, and Floy Johnson in iact every Binger on the program, pleased the audience, and the entertainment as a whole was a decided success, financially and artistically,, and Mrs. Green is to be congratulated. : ... . ,i t . ,. ... WiLLARD COMPANY STRONG. Engagement Commenced Last Night in the Opera House. "A , Western Gentleman' at the opera house last night was a decided success. It is sometimes hard to write up the details of a play, just as it is for a cartoonist to portray an individual who has no distinguishing features, and this is one of those cases. The company is so well balanced that it is - difficult to. . say anything about them without saying a great deal. - MtJ Willard is a talented actor, and the company is of the very best material, all excellent actors and actresses. Tonight they are to play "The Bells," one of Sir Henry Irving' s great plays. . The" indications are that the house will be crowd ed, so you had better secure seats early. - To Assist Mitchell. Throughout the states of Ore gon and Washington there is an intense feeling of sympathy for and endorsement of the action of George Mitchell in slaying Edmund Crehield. . Mr. Mitchell is a poor young man and he needs Bnancial assistance. Many of our prominent citizens are taking the initiative and are contributing. me Lrazette wiu receive contributions and receipt for the same. Help the boy in his trouble. In response to the above appeal for contributions for the assistance of George Mitchell the Gazette is in receipt of $67, contributed as folio wj: Harry Pritchard ..$ 100 B. W.

Taillandier for an Organ Concert to be given on May 25th, is a novelty in more than one way. The action or mechanism, employed in the Kimball Organs is a revolution in organ ; building. If is Duplex Tubular Pneumatic throughout, including key action (both manual and pedal), stop action and couplers. One of the practical advantages is the compactness. By doing away with the old style action with trackers, stickers, levers, squares and all the other acces sories necessary in the old track er action much room is gained. The organ, now in the College Chapel, with its hundreds of of pipes would occupy double the space were it not tor the tubular pneumatic action employed solely in the Kimba'il Pipe Organs. Making- Friends. Fred C. Peil is making friends everywhere in his canvass for the office of sheriff of Benton. This is not strange for Mr. Peil's man ner is such as wins your confi dence at once. He is a man you instinctively trust. When it comes to clerical ability he has no superior in the county and if elected all county business coming to him will be attended promptly and satisfac torily to all. Is there any good reason why he should not be enthusiastically voted to the of fice by the republicans of Benton? He is as deserving as any man and republicans should . take a pride in giving a worthy young man a start in life. Reduced Rates. Offered for the East by the S. P. Company.
