ant consequences. The present guard
saId, bluntly:
Il can't give you compartment to
yourself unless you pay for it, sir. It's
against the rules. Here, Madame, step
10, please" -s -.
A lady who looked in very delicate
health got into the carriage, and gen.
tleman with her. Mr. Barnaby Chucker
felt ready 20 swoon. Before he could
inform the guard of his readiness to pay
= for whole compartment, rather than
have his privacy intruded upon, the
train was off again, and Mr.. Chucker
tell to rejecting how he should effect
his change of carriages at Slough, now
that he was in no fit to step on to a
platform. The train on which he trav-
eled was bound straight for Birming-
ham, and Chucker would have to change
at Slough if he wished to dine with his
friends that evening.
Alas more urgent difficulty than
that involved in change of carriages
soon presented itself to him; for no
sooner had the train started than the
lady who had just got in began to moan
and shiver, saying that she felt cold all
over. Her husband sought to quiet hel
but it was all of no use, for she was
really i'll. At last the poor man cast a
look of despair at Mr.. Chucker, and
said:
Excuse me for taking a great liberty
sir, but would you be so kind as to lend
my wife your rug! We started in q
hurry and forgot TO bring one. AS 1t il

For DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Mr.. Jas. A. Yantis, Republican nominee
for prosecuting attorney of the second judi
cial district, and editor of the GAzETTD, has
gone South, to attend court and the ad inter
im will take advantage of mis- absence and
say to our readers that Jimmy was nomina-
ted by the district convention by almost a
unanimous vote, which fact, of itself, ,attests
his popularity. He has lived in Corvallis
for 10 years, has had several years practice
at law. and has made for himself a good
reputation as sound thinker and able talk
er. He is sober and industrious, and his
character is entirely above reproach. But
these facts are we'll known TO the people of
Benton county, and We opine that they will
express their appreciation of Mr.. Yantis by
handsome majority in June. There is no
political significance attached to the office.
but it is important to elect man who will
fearlessly and faithfully do his duty as a
prosecuting officer, and at the same time
guard the taxpayers against unnecessary
expense.

w. 3. CARTER

REV. w. r. CHAPMAN-Dear Brother
Your notice inviting me to be present and
speak at the memorial service, on the End
inst. reached me late Saturday evening, max
ing it quite impossible tobe there None can
regret this more than do. 1t would have
given me great pleasure to have been present
and contributed some humble part in honor
of the worthy dead. When good man
dies, it is right and proper that the good ne
has done should be held up to view as an
incentive to others, to follow in his foot
steps, The life of William B. Carter, has
perhaps, left as deep an impress ON Ben
ton county, AS that of amy other man. Her
interest he espoused as his own in the social
circle: in the Church; in the Sabbath School;
in the Good Templars Lodge and in the
Masonic Lodge; and in every good word and
work he was ever active. ever ready. In
all of these places have met him and can
bear testimony to his untiring zeal. But to
fully know and appreciate his worth was to
know him as an intimate and confidential
friend, which was my privilege during my
residence in Corvallis. Here you come in
contact with that innel life from which, as
the fountain, his outer life was formed.
The test of christian faith and christian
character is its trial. 1t was my lot to
stand by Brother Carter in the severest
trial of his life; when three of his loved
ones were, as it were in moment, snatch
ed away. 1t was my privilege to witness
the christian resignation of him and his
now bereaved companion. But this was
not all. 1t was mine to stand by him
through long and tedious night and ad-
minister, as best could, to his sufferings,
which were as severe as falls to the lot OF
man toenlure. When he and expected each
hour would be the last. Yet no murmel
escaped his lips; no shrinking from the ap'
proach of the dread monster. His faith
had become living reality, it took hold OF,
and was ready to meet the realities OF the
eternal world. Yours truly IN Christ.

mo- THE FARMERs on OREGON,
TRAGEDY AT DALLAS.

There has been a statement made in rela-
tion to this matter, by the standard. To
correct some errors, we will give brief
summary of the case: w. H. :. Torr late
runner and night watch at the Occidental
Hotel, in this city, went to Dallas on the
l4th, he wished to see and have a, as he ex-
pressed it, "just minutes conversation"
with Mrs. Longdon. Mr.. Parsons, land
lord of the Parsons House, noticing some-
thing peculiar in Torr's manner, refused him
an interview. Mrs. Longlon not desiring
to see Torr. This seemed to exasper.te
Torr. Immediately after dinner, and while
there were number of ladies and gentlemen
sitting in the Hotel parlor, Mrs. Longdon
being of the number, Torr walked in and
stepping close up to Mrs. Longdon said,
g take this" and fred, full at her heart, the
ball striking steel stay, did not seriously
injure Mrs. L., who greatly frightened, fell
over on chair. The pistol Smith and
Weston calibre No. 80, was SO close as to
tear the lady's dress. TORI, no doubt, seeing
this, supposed he had killed her-and realiz-
izing the certainty of death at the hands OF
an excited people-turned the pistol on him
self, the first shot entered the left side, just
below the nipple; the second, which he
delivered while yet standing. entered the
head on the left side, the ball passing into
the brain and coming out close to the place
of entrance, passed into the ceiling over
head. Torr was insensible and died in about
fifteen minutes after the shooting.
There is a mystery surrounding the affair
80 far unexplainable. Mrs. Longdon says
her first acquaintance with Tsr-, was the
occasion of her visit to Corvallis, some
months since, when he escorted her to the
Occidental Hotel, that from the first his
conduct was disagreeable, she changed her
place of abode on account OF his constant
attention to her, it would seem to he a case
of love at Jorge range. Mrs. Longdon, in
Polk county, where she is known, bears an
excellent reputation, there is no divorce
pending between her and her husband, .
gentleman Of good standing.
