KAPPJLY WEDDED.
Pretty Event la Corvallis SaturdayRobinson-Rice.
With a simple but very im
pressive ceremony performed by
Rev: C. T. Hurd, Miss Eliza
beth Rice was made th wif-- of
Frank L. Robinson at high noon
SHurday. The event was cele
brated at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. George F. Rice, the bride's
parents, and about thir'y-fiv
guests were present to join in
the festive occasion.
At the appointed hour Miss
E sie Rice began playing a wed
ding march, and the bridal party
slowly entered from the hall
way. In the 1-ad was little Miss
Mildred Hall as flower girl, fol
lowed by Miss Lulu Rice,
bridesmaid, and Frank White,
groomsman. Rev. . Hurd then
stepped forward and spoke the
words that made the couple hus
band and wife.
Following congratulations,
the guests . were invited to the
dining room where three tables,
beautifully decoroted with white
and yellow, were laden with all
the delicacies that an epicure
could desire. Merriment was the
order as the tempting luncheon
was enjoyed, and after a very
happv social hour the party dis
persed, leaving their hearty geo3
wishes for the newly mariied
pair.
The bride, who is a very
preity girl, was beautiful in a
simple but becoming costume of
cream crepe de Franc?, carrying
a shower bouquet of bride roses
and maiden hair fern. Miss
Lulu Rice was very prettily
gowned in blue dimity, with a
bouquet of fern and roses.
During the ceremony the bri
dal party occupied a position in
the bay window, which was dec
orated with Oregon grape, calla
lilies and potted plants. The
dining room was very pretty,
with decorations of daffodil,
and from the center of the ceil
ing to the corner of each table
was cariied streamers of white
and yellow crepe paper.
The bride is one of Corvallis
best and most beloved girls, be
ing universally esteemed tor her
womanliness and winning per
sonality. The groom is an em
ploye of a bank at Lisbon,
North Dakota, and is a young
man of splendid character and
high standing.
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson leave
in about turee weeks for their
future home at Lisbon.
The guests at the wedding
were: Kev. vj. 1. Hurd, f rot.
and Mrs. Nicholas Tarter, Dr.
and Mrs. B. A. Cathey, Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. SwanH, Mr. and
Mrs. O. J. Blackledge, Mr. and
Mrs. Harley Hall and daughter,
Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Bane, Mr.
and Mrs. Will Rice and family,
Mr. and Mr. Ward Rice and fam
ily, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Bodine,
Mrs. Mallow, Mrs. White, Mrs.
Gene Simpson, Misses Olive
Mallow, Lulu, Elsie, Ruby and
Gladys Rice, Frank White and
the Misses White.
In tbe evening a reception was
held at the Rice home, to which
about forty invitations had been
issued. The company that as
sembled was a merry one and the
hours glided by with music and
conversation, and with the ap
proach of midnight a dainty
luncheon was served.
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson were
the recipients of many handsome
and useful presents, among
which was a beautitul silver
bread tray, a present from the
choir of the First Methodist
church, in which the bride has
fer many years been the faithful
ana popular organist.

ness men at trie fireman's nail
in this city Thursday evening, at
which was effected the perma

ot Corvallis. ' '
Officers of the organization
were elected as follows: S. L.
Kline, president; A. K. Russ,
vice president; Roy Hollenberg,
secretary; T. A. Boulden, treas

laws were adopted, and the ob
ject's of the organization are set
forth as follows:
'To foster and maintain a per-
ment social feeling among the
retail grocers and merchants of
Corvalli; to obHterate distrust
and inspire confidence among the
members of the trade; to remove
by concerted action such evils
and customs as are against good
policy and sound business prin
ciples (whether it be selling of
the wholesale house at retail,
improper house to house ped
dling, the distribution and con
sumption of adulterated and un
wholesome goods, the use of he
titiaus labels, the use of dishon
est weights and measures, or
whatever the evil miy be), to
disseminate useful information ;
to watch and influence legisla
tion toward the better protection
o. our capital ; to assist our mem
bers in the collection of delin
quent accounts; to encourage the
observance of all legal holidays;
and to attain the results which
experieuce has proved are not at
tainable by individual or divided
effort."
For these reason? the organiza
tion was perfected and the name.

Association

COURAGE FAILED HIM.
And He Did not Jump Suicide
Changed His Mind.
There are numerous individuals
who declare life a burden and
aver that they would be glad to
lay aside this earthly form, but it
is noticeable that when the final
hour approaches they usually
send for a doctor and beg that
something be done to save them
from the great unknown here
after. Such a case occurred in
Albany, Friday morning, and the
Herald tells the story as follows:
"Poised on one of the supports
that extends out from the side of
the Albany steel bridge, over 100
feet above the waters of the Wil
lamette river, Frank H. Vance,
an itinerant organizer for the
Modern Woodmen of America,
vainly endeavored to summon up
enough courage to hurl himself
headlong through space to the
death that waited below. Twice
Frank crawled out on the dizzy
edge of the narrow support and
twice he crawled back again to
the more substantial footing of
the bridge proper. He was dis
gusted with life, disgusted with
himself, and wanted to die; his
sprit was willing but his nosh
was woefully weak.
For fifteen minutes this man
who desired death so earnestly
vaccillated between the bridge
floor and the end of the extend
ing cross bar, and just when he
believed himself equipped with
the needed courage, and was pre
paring to crawl out on the pro
jecting support for the third and
last time, providence in the shape
of Dr. J. L. Hill, Marshall Mc
Clain and half a hundred men
and boys interfered and carted
him off to the city jail.
For the past week Vance is
said to have been drinking freely
in Independence, and Thursday
afternoon he started to walk from
Independence to Albany. He
arrived here last Thursday night,
mud -bedraggled, and much the
worse for his long walk. About
1 a. m. yesterday morning Vance
entered the Hotel Revere and
wrote a farewell note to Dr. Hill
who had befriended him some
few days previous. He then
stepped outside of the hotel and
was lodged in the city jail until
7 a. m. yesterday morning, when
he was released. Shortly after
Vance proceeded to the bridge to
commit suicide. Dr. Hill receiv
ed the note shortly atter eight,
and as once sumoiDnei Marshall
McClain, and the two proceeded
with all haste to the bridge, fol
lowed by a crowd of man and
boys who had got wind that
"something was doing."
Vance gives no reason for his
act, other than that ha was des
pondent and disgusted with life. "

'SLEPHQNS ' DONT'S."
Centra's are Ladies Something
to Bear in Mind.
There is a limit to every
thing and it seems that the end of
every cues patience has been
readied recen;ly by the inter
rupt' d and hap-'nazavd service
over the telephone lines that
has resulted iictn the changes
that have been going on in the
two systems. Tt.e Gazette has
been mixed up with a drug store
line ot late, and on answering
the bell has received instructions
to ''send a jar of boiated co.ton
right away lo ," and pill,
plaster, and paregoric orders
have had to be turned away
time and again.
On the other Land, it is a try
ing time for the centrals, and es
pecially so as new gitl-4 are con
stantly learning the business and
the more experienced employes
are compelled to "'stand" for the
errors thus made, as well as those
due to the line changes. As it
seems to be a time of general
telephone agitation, the follow
ing list of "dou'tV from an ex
change seems timely:
Don't forget that central ca i
nct answer everyone at the suite
time.
Don't tbink that bv roasting
central you will get quicker or
better service.
D m't get it into your hea l
tint you are so important that
central should answer your cail
in preference to other subscrib
ers. Their call may be as urgent
as vers.
Don't fly up like a set'.ing hen
if you do not get central the
very first ring, for there are over
200 subsciibers that have tho
same privilege of ringiDg at the
same time vou do.
Don't say you have been ring
ing tor one-nan nour wnen oy
actual time you have not been
at the phone one miuute and
have rung six or seven times in
the One minute.
Dd't call some friend or relar
tive and visit 15 or 20 minutes
at one time. The lines are not
for visiting, besides other people
are paying as much as you are
and may need the line for urgent
business.
Djn't hang on the line and
listen to a conversation that is
none ot your affairs, for there is
nothing so contemptible, low
down'1 and little as a first-cla:3
rubber neck.
Don't call four or five parties
at one time and expect central to
wait on the line until you get
through with each one, to save
you the trouble of ringing. Cen
tral has other calls to answer.
Don't forget that central is a
lady and should be treated as a
lady.
