THAT "PLUG-UGLY"

Manager who conceived the idea of dis
playing the placard in the 'Plug" procession
at the recent celebration here with the
figures 1929" thereon in parenthesis, thus
reviving the scandalous campaign talk which
was circulated in the late Presidential cam
paigu about President Garfield who is long
since dead and gone, was certainly bright,
intelligent and patriotic son of America (?).
It is hardly conceivable how any person
could be SO far lost to decency and self-re-
spect as to perpetrate such an insult to the
American people, before they had ceased to
mourn for their dead President, and at a
time when they were assembled to celebrate
the independence of that nation of which he
was the, Chief Magistrate when he died.
Such an individual had ought to be tapped
for the, ,"simples" and something foreign to
the contents of his Uranium should be intro
duced to revive his lost intellect and thus
prevent him from making repetition of
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1882-07-14
WAS IT APPROPRIATELY

There is one matter, which a lack of space
and time prevented us from mentioning last
week, which is certainly proper item for
discussion. The matter to which we refer is
the fact that during the celebration at this
place We noticed in the procession of "Plug
Uglies" display of certain placards with
inscriptions thereon indicating the defeat of
certain candidates and the Democratic par
ty in the election which was recently had.
While such a display might under certain
circumstances be admissible in a partisan
political ratification meeting over some po-
litical election, yet we certainly think it en-
tirely out of place and the most inappropri-
ate thing that could be thought of to supply
a part of the programme for the celebration
of the Fourth of July. Upon that eventful
day we should certainly all be able to meet
upon one common plain without any distinc-
tion whatever in politics. Upon that day
we ought not to know any difference be-
tween Democrat, Republican, Independent
or any party or class of men who claim al
legiance to our common country.
The programme for the "Plug Uglies,"
however, was probably gotten up without
any thought of this matter, and probably
without any idea of its being out of place.
It is well to always consider the appropri-
ateness of things, and especially upon such
an important event as the celebration of the
day that marked the beginning of our ma
tional existence. Parties whose ideas of
propriety and right are SO defective should
certainly not be permitted to SO far have
control of the arrangement of the matters
on such an event as will result in the rep
etition Of such an affair.

s 1t appears that during the present week,
while the bill for appropriations for the i'm

consideration in the United States Senate,
that body increased the appropriation for
Yaquina bay harbor from $50, 600 to $780,

cur in this amendment and the signature of
the President, and then this bill will be-

certainly prevail, which is only doing jus

Oregon by assisting to establish means to
get their produce to market at as early a

the architect, l am enabled to give
your readers a very fair idea of the
building. The exterior is built of
brick, with blue limestone trimmings.
is four stories high, and impresses the
observer ct a glance with the idea of
soiidity, comfort, convenience and ele-

and six feet deep, and is located di-
rectly opposite the depot. This hotel
was erected for the benefit of the rail-
road trains that make temporary stops
for meas, as well as for the travelling
public. On the first floor are 10 he
found the office, the dining-room,
sample-rooms, and various other de-
partments, ipcluding the kitchen. The
dining-nalI is especially worthy OF no

carved grder extending through the
center, and handsome marble mantels

stories are reached by two conveniently

and an apartment wherein the erav-

| ROLLA, Mo-, June ], 1882.
| Ed. Rcgister-Fortunate enough to
obtain both the necessary writing ma
terial and spare time. l shall endeavor
to interest some of your readers by
giving them the most important events
that have transpired since last wrote
you.
In the first place, I must take a
small space to speak for our School of
Mines, the right bower of the old Mis-
souri, University. All your readers are
no doubt aware that our colleges and
academies throughout the State bring
their scholastic year to termination
in the early part of June; SO it is with
us, and to-day our semi-annual eXami-
nations begin, and continue until
Wednesday, June Z. On the same
evening our exhibition takes place,
which will consist of several charades
and dialogues by the preparatory stu
dents, an address by one of the gradu-
ates of this year i'm behalf of his class,
and, as usual, music.
Our graduating class of 's2 numbers
six. who take the following degrees ::
Four take c.. E., one takes NJ. F., and
one both NJ. E. and G. e. The latter
gentleman is from Little Rock, and
graces the roll of honor by placing his
name thereon as Frank w. Glib.
AS usual during examination the
students are not required to be present
at roll-roll or to assemble at the school
house, except for the examinations of
such classes as he may chance to be
member of. AS the human memory
is little defective, q programme has
been placed on our bulletin-board to
catch the students eye, and remind
him on what day he must show up.
AS all classes cannot be examined ut
the same time, q great many of the
students are at leisure part of their
time, and can be seen lettering around
on our principal streets. OF course
there are exceptions to all cases, and
there are to this. Occasionally two or
three students, in company with some
of the town boys, take u wolf-hunt,
but they do not manage to xii any
thing but time, while others go fishing
and catch nothing but "bad colds"
must here mention that, in addi-
ton to our six boys who will take their
degrees, a great many more have sue
ceeded SO effectually in doing nothing
that they deserve and ought to have
the title of n. @. affixed to their
names.
[ must here add that our closing eX-
ercises take place on Thursday. We
will be honored by the presence of
Speaker Bashaw, of the Missouri
House of Representatives,, and Judge
J. w. Emerson, of your place. Both
of these gentlemen are excellent
speakers, and their addresses will mo
doubt be highly appreciated by our
Rolla people.
Some of the students dfpart for their
respective homes prior to commence
ment. while those that remain will
partake of "a social hop, which takes
place at the opening of new hotel
recently huilt, and which promises TO
be grand affair.

"A horrible crime is reported to have
been committed In Shannon county d
few days ago. Parson Barnes brutally
ravished his stepdaughter, beautiful
girl about thirteen years old, and then
left for parts unknown. Barnes is a
Baptist preacher, and had b, Ell con-
si,iered an upright man. Great ex-
citement prevails throughout the
community, and if the reverend vii
lain is caught he will probably be
brought before Judge Lynch.
