want to lug prohibition any more
than baptism into politics. The
words prohibition and democracy
are hard to harmonic. They mean
nearly the opposite in every sense OF
the word. Most any good, broad,

would make a poor prohibitionist.
The average democrat is anything

Fatal Accident.

Last Saturday morning, says the Albany
Herald, L. Miller, who lives some three
miles east of town, went out to harrow his
garden with span of horses and an old rus
ty harrow. In turning round the double
tree got tangled some way and Mr.. Miller
raised up the harrow to free it, when bis
hand slipped and the harrow came down
cutting deep and ugly cash four or five
inches in length, in his left limb behind and
just below the knee. Physicians were at
once summoned, and properly washed out
the wound, and took precautionary meas
ures to al'ay inflammation and resist the
effects of the poison left in the wounds by
the rusty tooth. The shock to the nervous
system was of such a character, however,
that Mr.. Miller never rallied from it, and
continued to grow worse, his prostration
precluding the possibility of taking off the
limb. Ga Tuesday evening gangrene set in
despite the most powerful remedies, and on
Wednesday morning he died. He leaves a
wife and child, and other relatives in this
city to mourn his end.

BEsEIeED BY TROUBLE.
The Pathetic Story of the Sorrows Of a
Woman Now on Her Wayito Corvallis.

Tne PaJneG1c STORY OF IHe SoIIoWS VI
Woman Now on Her wayito Corvallis
San francisco, May 6.-(Special to the
Oregonian. Among the steerage passengers
! who sailed this morning for Portland is a
since her departure from her home in Des
Moines, Iowa, has had more than her share
of the worlds tribulations. On the eve OF
her departure from the east her husband
was seized with Inflammation of the lungs,
which terminated fatally. Gathering her
scanty means, she resolved to set out with
her family of five little children, and a boy
aged Ia, for Corvallis, where her father and
brother are said to reside. On the way out
two of the children, bright little girls, were
taken sick; with every symptom of scarlet
fever. When they arrived here they regis
tered at the International hotel, where the
youngest child died. Mr.. Davis, a physi-
clan. of this city, hearing OF their sad plight,
volunteered his service, and did everything
in his power to alleviate the pangs of the
little sufferers, but without avail, al the
second child succumbed two days afterward,
and was buried in the grave so recently
opened for her sister. The mother was
fairly distracted, and gave way to despair.
She was surrounded by weeping children,
all of them too young to render any assis-
tance. The poor woman was disconsolate
and among strangers, and to add to her mis-
fortunes, her eldest boy became confirm
ed iElbecile by the sorrow following the
death of his father, and stood by chattering
incoherently and grinning at his little broth
ers and sisters. When the attention of the
Young Mems Christian Association was
brought to the case a deputation waited
upon the unfortunate woman, and in various
ways, including the payment of her bills,
besides giving her enough money to defray
her expenses, materially assisted her. As
can readily be imagined, she was almost out
of her senses. To the inquiry of the Ore.
gonian correspondent if her relatives in Cor
wallis were apprised of her coming, she
answered that she was not positive that
they at present resided there. Referring to
the trials she has undergone, she said she
realized that her health was impaired to
such an extent as to interfere with her min
istering to the wants of her children.
Since setting up the above we learn that
the lady's father alluded to in the above
dispatch is George Landerking over so
years of age who now lives at Monroe in
this county, but who formerly lived here.

Drowned in the ca1apooia.

Willis Knighton, young man aged about
ls, son of Perry Knighton, who lives on the
Calapooia, few miles above Albany, was
out in the field on Saturday last sowing
grain in company with two other boys who
were narrowing, says the Herald Some
parties were driving logs down the Gala
pooia, and they were lodging at different
points along the banks. Three or four logs
had lodged opposite the field where the
boys were at work, and young Knighton
told the other boys he would 90 to the river
which was but few rods away and be back
in twenty minutes. Time wore away and
as he did not come back the boys went to
the river in search of him, but could not
lind any trace of him. It is thought GER
tain now that he went to the river and
probably walked out on the logs lodged
against the bank, and that they turned and
let him in to the river. His absence and
the uncertainty of his fate has cast gloom
over the neighborhood, and greatly afflicts
his parents and friends.

Fearless of Empire City which had been

reached the outer side of the bar at 10

the bar by 10 hours and IA minutes, and at
10 hours end "a minutes she dropped anchor

satisfaction to the inhabitants of Yaquina

A Sad Case,

A Mrs. Blair. of Roseburg, who had been
affected long time with tumor growing
on one of her lower limbs, went to Salem
recently seeking surgical aid. Seme of
Salem's learned and most skillful surgeons
examined the case and decided that the re-
moval Of the tumor would be attended with
great danger, but, were impelled to the con-
clusion that death would soon ensue if it
was allowed to remain, and with a clear
understanding of the situation, the affected
Lady and her friends concluded to have the
operation of removing it performed, and
also the amputation of the limb in case de-
velopments should show the necessity. DIR.
Kinney, assisted by some three or four 9th
er surgeons performed the operation last
week, but the nervous shock proved too
great for her feeble physical condition, and
the patient died soon after. The remains
were taken to Roseburg for interment.

THE CITY ELECTION.
A High License Victory With the Excep-
tion OF Recorder

tion OF Recorder.
The city election on last Monday passed
off very nicely and nothing disreputable
marred the high public tenor save the usual
wrangling of wire workers and office
seekers. The main issue seemed to be that
of high and low license and while no public
demonstration were made, yet considerable
work on both sides were done, resulting in
the largest vote ever polled in Corvallis and
the election of a high license ticket, with
exception of recorder, whom we understand
is strict temperance man and a prehibit-
la moderate >one. The ticket elected is
composed of honorable, straight forward
men who are individually interested in the
public welfare and will work in unity for the
best interest of our city. The following is
