Simon Cameron, the aged
Pennsylvania politician, has been
telling some of the secrets Of the
campaign Of 1916. He says that
he is glad that his son Don did
not accept the chairmsnshlp
of the national committee for the
reason that it is too expensive.
Don, he declares, spent many
thousands of dollars out of bis
own pocket in 1876, and that
when the campaign was. over ne
gave Hayes $4,000 because he was
absolutely penniless and came
whining about pocket money. II
HAYES hasn't refounded this
money to Don out Of his $4,000
salary he is mean fellow. The
elder Cameron hints that he
hasn't returned it. Simon says
sums up.

A curious legal question of in

A curious legal question of in
herItance has arisen from a recent
railway accident i'll Germany,
which resulted in the death of sew
eral passengers. Among its vic
tins we're two Breslau gentlemen,
Messrs, Koschel and Callinich,
who had been close friends for
many years, and were so strongly
attached to one another that. some
months previous to the journey
which proved so fatal to both of
them, they had executed a deed,
in virtue or which, on the demise
of either, the survivor should be-
come entitled to the whole proper
ty of the deceased. As both par
ties to this "Erbvertrag" or heri-
tage agreement perished in the
accident above alluded to, their
bodies having been found among
the ruins Of the second-class car
riage in which they had been trav-
cling together, the question
arises which, if either of them,
died last, thereby becoming his
friends legal heir, assuming that
their deaths took place simulta'
neously, what disposition can be
made Of their properties ?

Mr.. John Kelly, who was
conspicuous by his absence from
the great Hancock and English
ratification meeting in New York
last week, at which Mr.. Tilden
presided, proposes to have a
ratification meeting of his own.
He has called on his Tammanv
braves for necessary cash, and he
announces that he intends to
astonish the country. What Jhon
Kelly and his followers are after is
the local Offices in the city o.
| New York. He knows that the
only wa, to perpetuate his power
is by keeping a firm grip on the
local patronage. AS long as be
controls that, the boys will rally
round him.

CARD OF THANKS.

The congregation of the Episcopal Church
desire to express their warm thanks, first
of all to the kind friends who assisted in
providing the refreshments for the company
at the City Hall on Friday evening last and
to those who gave SO many articles for sale;
to the Band, who SO freely rendered their
services; and to those who attended, and by
their presence contributed to the great sue
cess which was attained sum of $l6O was
realized; and it is hoped that its expendi-
ture in fencing and beautifylng the lots on
which the church stands will add to the at
tractiveness of the city.
As it was found impossible to finish the
programme provided, it was arranged that a
free entertainment should be given on this,
Friday, evening in the City Hal consisting
of music, in glees, duets and songs. and
readings and recitations, with Mr.. Nash's
narrative of travels in Norway, illustrated
by water color drawings.

GOOD TEMPlARS.

For the past two meeting nights Excelsior
Lodge, No. 9. L o. C. T., has given way,
in consequence of church sociahles. There
never has been, and we trust never will be,
conflict between the Good Templars of
Corvallis and the Churches. Many pillars
in various churches have taken their first step
thitherward through some temperance or
ganization Paul preached Temperance y
as well as righteousness For nearly fifteen
years Excelsior Lodge has kept her banners
to the breeze in Corvallis, and most of that
time has held regular weekly meetings. To
accomplish this grand work has cost much
labor and sacrifice of time and money on
the part of few faithful, Jealous workers.
No mortal can tell the good that has been
accomplished. The reward of these '1abors
of love" are only expected in the hereafter,
but it is a satisfaction to feel that we have
deavored to aid in their reformation The
great aim of temperance workers should be
to educate the young and save them from
yielding to temptation. In order to do this
we should make our lodge rooms attractive
and pleasant. Excelsior Lodge has neat
hall, and a fine organ, and presents fine
opportunity to the young and old for a
pleasant social evening, each week. But we
need more work kers-more church members
more ministers-more of the parents of
Corvallis. Regular meeting at 1880 this
evening. Nomination of officers for the en-
suing term. Let us have full attendance,
and several propositions tor membership.

GROUND BROKEN AT sILvERTGH.

Last Monday was an eventful day
in the history of Silverton, Marion
county, Oregon. 1t is a matter of
general interest to know that active
operations have commenced, and that
the long-talked-of narrow gauge rail-
road projects Of the Willamette val
ley, bid fair to be pushed TO early
completion. The following cheering
intelligence is from the Salem States
man of the goth inst. II means new
life for Salem. and Marion county.
Every mile of railroad projected in
the Willamette valley is an addition
al plea for the improvement of va
quina bay, and demonstrates the i'm
portance of another ocean outlet:
Yesterday was gala day in the history Of
Silverton, it being the occasion of breaking
ground for the narrow gauge railroad from
there to the Willamette. At 10 A. NJ Gov
ernor and Mrs. w. w. Thayer, Hon. J. q.
Montgomery, Ellis &. Hughes, and repre-
sentative of the Greg ,nian, arrived at Ger
vais from Portland, and were conveyed to
Sllverton in coach. The party was met on
the road by a committee with brass band,
and escorted to the Silverton Hotel where
dinner was served. The party then pro-
ceeded to the stand at the head of Water
street, where about twelve hundred ladies
and gentlemen had assembled. After an ad-
dress by the Hon. Ralph c. Geer, Mrs Gov.
Thayer turned the first shovelfull of ground,
while the crowd gathered about her and
cheered vociferously. Addresses wers then
made by J. B. Montgomery, Gov. Thayer,
r. 8. Ramsby and others.

THE EPISCOPAL SOCIAL.

The entertainment given by the congrega-
ton of the Episcopal Church of this city,
last Friday evening, at the City Hall, was a
very pleasant affair, and clearly demon
strates that our English cousins, under the
leadership of Mr.. and Mrs. Nash, know
how to make sociable success financially,
and otherwise. The net receipts of the en-
tertainment amounted, we understand, to
about $780, Pretty good for unpleasant
weather. The attendance was large, and
the best class of society represented. Nearly
all the ministers, professional and leading
business men of the city were present. The
evening was SO entirely given up to social
conversation and a ''good time" generally,
including an excellent supper, that but a
small portion of the literary exercises were
rendered, except a most entertaining and
amusing reading by Mr.. c. ]. Hervey Gray.
Mr. Wallis Nash presided at the organ,
while Mr.. Carriek, Mrs. johnson, and others
favored the audience with some very excel
the Second Brigade Band, under the able
Leadership of Prof. Miner, dlscoursed their
choicest pieces. The fine display of photo
graphs, paintings, sketches, &C., formed a
marked feature of the entertainment. The
Literary and musical portien of the enter
'tainment, unavoidably omitted on that oe-
casion, will be rendered at the City Hall,
this evening, FREE. Everybody invited.
Mr.. Nash's description of travels in Nor
way, illustrated by water-color paintings,
will be very interesting. Mr. Hamilton has
kindly rendered the use of the Hall free.

woMEN,s RIGHTS.

ED. GAZETTE: Hoping my entreaty for
some space in your valuable journal will not
meet a denial, take the liberty to annoy
you with a brief essay in behalf of our ''bet-
ter half" So much is said and written
about woman's rights and vote, that it nec-
essarily must become attractive, more or
less, to all of us.
The opinion of most of the men is un-
doubtedly not in favor of yielding to them
all the rights they are asking for. Women
of the present day may not be exceedingly
fit for the execution of all and every Office
in the country, and in some instances may
not be acquainted well enough with the pub
lie mind and popular government, to qualify
them as voters yet I predict the time, not
so far distant, when women will enjoy bet
ter rights; but, before this time will arrive,
women must do good deal Of xmending and
purifying among themselves. Especially in
higher life women ought to come to the uni
derstanding that accepting. all the follies of
modern fashion don't entitle them to b,
termed '.good society,"; neither will it bring
them single step nearer to the SO much
longed for ''vote." A painted doll never
will be anything else but painted doll j;
just like a fellow who splits his hair in the
middle of his Uranium, always will be looked
at as g an empty headed fop."
The life of our present high society is
nothing else but false nature; and as long
as women in high life keep on deranging
themselves through pride, pads, tight lac
ing, ETC., they never will gain thesfights
they are expecting. Our tender sex is much
inclined to become the plaything of men
"to avoid that they have to become more
self sustaining Matrimony ought to be
made the holiest of human relations and
after such junction is made woman should
form part with the man.
One of the greatest women America ever
produced, Margaret Fuller, said 6 1t is a
vulgar error that love, a love, is to woman
her whole existence. She is also born for
truth and love in their universal energy
In regard to voting must repeat an an
swer lady of this vicinity gave me, after I
had expressed myself as if women were not
well enough acquainted with politics: ''They
should read few less novels, and use as a
literary substitute. good newspapers. Wo-
men who have no desire for better rights,
must be considered mummies, and those are
excluded from my thoughts. LIBERAL.
