Mysterious Death.

Coroner Park of Norwich is investigat- ing the cause of the death of Mary Ward a simple-minded girl who died several months ago at the home of man named Bruin. Two years ago Bruin married Mrs Ward, who had adopted Mary. About 8 year ago husband and wife made joint will by which each was to inherit the others property at death. In July last Mrs Ward died and her step daughter followed her to the grave about two months later. The girl had accused Bruin of being criminally inti- mate with her, and now it is believed that Bruin produced an abortion just before her death.

The Ludwig Concert.

AAO AuuW1k NOACcTCs
 Wm Ludwig and his concert company attracted great audience to the opera house, Providence, R, l., last Sunday night for one of their famous concerts of Irish music. Says the musical critic of the Providence Journal: 'sNothing can be finer, more thoroughly natural, quaint and deeply pathetic than such as Mir Ludwig does find advisable to include in his selections unspoiled. by Altering through drawing room adaptations, and it may be added, never have they found an interpreter who unites the rare vocal qualities and the dramatic instinct in singing them in such a measure as does MT Ludwig.
 Clevelnnd's Minstrels.
 The Buffalo Courier, in speaking of the new gorgeous spectacular first part of the Haverly-Cleveland minstrels, says: To be imagined it must be seen, for being like nothing ever previously attempted, it cannot be fittingly describ- ed. MT .Cleveland's idea was to copy the methods of.the Venetians, the pion- eers in minstrel effects. With that in tent, the hue of all the stage settings is Italian; the end men are dressed as court testers of the fourteenth century, the vocalists are attired in the tights and purple of Venetian noblemen of that perlod, and cute little boys seated in gondolas pass back Eand fourth in the background.

Deserting their Victims.

It is reported that Palliser & Palliser, the New York architects, who led so many country postmasters into trouble are now trying to turn States evidenec on condition that the government let up on them. District Attorney Sill refuses to negotiate with them, however, and it is probable that they will have to stand trial with the postmasters. The circular sent to the little country offices by this firm distinctly said that there was noth- ing wrong about their way of doing business and as the firm was considered a responsible one the postmasters bit.

It is scarcely necessary to say that her admirers are just as many and just as enthusiastic as ever. Madame Macbeth did some good work yesterday and as 8 consequence is to-day within a few miles of the second position. She is always hard at work and might cause even the leaders to fear for their posi- tions. Manager Pepin is in hopes of a big crowd tonight and has made extra preparations for their welfare. Ladies are especially invited to attend. The local female is a good walker and i. coming out in an elegant costume.

AN AMPLE APOLOGY

Through some unaccountable
carelesness in the composing
room of a rural journal the obituary
of one of the towns iveliest citi-
zens crept into the paper one
morning. It was not many hours
after the issue of the edition that
the ''lamented" himself crept into
the sanctum and vigorously de-
manded correction iii the next
mornings paper. It appeared as
follows
"Our yesterdays edition con-
tanned the announcement of the
death of our esteemed fellow
townsman, Colonel Jones. 1t is
with profound regret that we state
that our announcement was pre-
mature. The colonel still lives
and we beg to assure him not only
of our distinguished consideration
but that it shall be our constant
effort to see that he shall not be
annoyed in this manner again un
til the last dread hour has in very
truth arrived. To this end We
have ordered the standing obituary
for Colonel Jones to be dis
buted.'-Harper's.

We do not intend to offer any improper
inducements to attract the people but we
do solicit the presence of the citizens OF
Corvallis who are not attending religious
services elsewhere in the city. All of our
city pastors greatly need the encouragement
of the resident people. The cause of Christ
is honorable and righteous and deserves the
respect of all. and how nice it would be if
every family in our city would be repre-.
sented in the place Of worship every Sunday
morning and evening. This would be giving
but two hours out of one hundred and sixty
eight Let it be practiced for six months,

keep these two boats upon the up

whatever else is necessary, en-
deavor to keep the channel open
to Corvallis at least, and further
up if possible, for the whole sum

ANOTHER SToRE.-A few weeks
ago Harris, the painter, was COM
ing up from San Francisco on the
cars and he made, the accqualnt-
ance of gentleman named w. L.
Kramer, who was looking for a
place to locate and open out a
gents furnishing goods store and
also do tailoring. Mr.. Harris per
suaded him to come to Corvallis
and look around, which he did,
and the result is that he has con-
cluded to make this his future
home, and has been in Portland
during the past few days phrchas-
ing a stock of godds preparatory to
opening out his store. He has not
yet decided upon a building but it
is thought it will be in the place
formerly occupied by Murphy's
shoe store. 1t is hoped Mr.. Kramer
will be encouraged in his under
taking. as every movement OF this
kind makes Corvallis livelier and
more citifed.
