II is said that Sullivan favors die newly
organized Virginia Athletic club as the
battle ground for his fight with Peter
Jackson. Davis, the colorcd pugilist's
manager. will doubtlessly mot favor such
u proposition, as Jackson's chances for

small.
The fight which Is TO take place before
the Gladstone Athletic club between Mike
Cushing, OF his city, and Austin Gibbons,
Of Patterson, N. j., will probably he ar
ranged for the 18th or 20th of June. The

on that famous occasion than he was a
second.

who challenged Tommy Kelly, the Har-
lem Spider, to a finish fight for the l05-

There are many things al an Australian

The, STOVE PICNIo.-Bill Nye
(you have all heard Of him) says
the first stove picnic he ever at
tended was in Salem, the day he
arrived there to deliver one of his
lectures. 1t was at an exhibition
Of the "Charter Oak" stove-the
one whose oven door is mostly
wire gauze. Bill said he never ate
with such good relish as he did on
this occasion. He should have
been in Corvallis ON Wednesday
and yesterday, for then he could
have participated in another picnic
ef.the same sort-with Fish on the
side. On the days above mention
ed an exhibition of this kind
showing the advantages of the
"Charter Oak range with the wire
gauze oven door," was given by
John Wycof, of st. Louis, who is
travelling in the interest of the
stove, and E. j. Moore, the agent
on this coast. A colored cook ac-
companies them to prepare the
meats and other cookables to be
done up by the patent gauze-door
arrangement. Biscuits in dough
form were put in the oven and in 4
minutes were taken out looking so
nice that they had to be eaten.
Eggs were roasted right in the
oven, as also steak was broiled,
and meats roasted. Yes, it's fine
stove-the Charter Oak gauze-
door-and it made this scribe feel
like chartering the whole thing,
cook and all, and taking picnic
himself out in the suburbs. .Nu-
merous citizens of this city wit
messed the efforts of the agents and
the stove, and tasted of the eata-
bles prepared all pronounced them
par excellence. Geo. E. Fish is
the agent for this make of stoves
in this city.

THE FIRST CAR ORDERED.
On Wednesday, the End ultimo,
the directors of the Corvallis street
railway company held another
meeting and, among the business
transacted, opened the bids for
lumber to be used ON the new line.
Brown & Son, whose advertise
ment appears elswhere in THE GA
zETTE. Franz Bros. of Kings Val
ley, the Toledo Lumber Co. of To-
ledo, this county, and A. Parker,
Of Oneatta. all had sent in sealed
bids. Upon their being opened
and examined by the directors it
was found that the first named
parties were the lowest in their
prices and to them was the con-
tract awarded. The amount of
lumber and ties needed is 1O3, 900
feet. This must be delivered at
Corvallis on or before April 18th.
At the same time they compile
ted negotiations for car to be
used on the first mile. This per-
ambulator will be after the same
pattern as those belonging to the
Multnomah street railway in Port
land, the builder being J. FL. Ham
mond, of San Francisco. The car
will be Of hard oil and varnish fin
ish; length of body, ten feet; seat
ing capacity sixteen; will have
160-pound Baltimore wheels. It
will have two lamps and one Slaus-
son fare box. 1t is to be deliver
ed by May 1st.
A letter states that the rails,
which were ordered in the east a
week or two ago, have been
shipped, and they will soon be
here.
Contractor J. E. Mccoy, of Sa-
lem, will probably begin work in
about ten days on preparing the
roadbed for the ties and rails. The
rails will weigh two hundred
pounds each, and extra heavy
spikes will be used in laying them.
The road will be planked the
entire distance-inside and out.
On Tuesday last the company
purchased a strip of land SOx245
feet, of VIM. Crees, running from
center of county road, leading out
from Ninth street north, through
his place to South street in Jobs
addition. If the whole OF Polk
street were opened in the northern
part of the city this strip would
simply be continuation westward
of it This will be opened and
graded and through this will the
line run into the addition thus saw
ing about eight hundred feet to be
run any further on the county
road, and enabling this much more
to he run into the addition-about
four blocks farther.
The bids for hauling and deliv-
ering the material along the line
of construction will not be opened
for few days yet, as only two have
been received.
"Keep a stiff upper lip" all you
people; the street cars will be run
ming in few weeks more.

A RUNAwAY-On Wednesday
evening, some mischieyous youths
of this city, wishing to have some
fun, tied an empty coal oil can to
a bovine's horn and then turned
her loose to run around the streets.
On Harrison street she came rum
ming down and about the same time
horse and buggy, containing Liz
zie Keesee and and Mary Newton,
were going up. AS soon as the
horse saw the frantic animal he be-
Game frightened and began to
plunge. Miss K, who was driv-
ing, got out and rushed to the
horses head to quiet him, at the
same time calling to Miss Newton
to jump out also. The latter was
so badly frightened she remained
in the vehicle, and the horse soon
broke away and started to run. He
turned into the fence on the north
side of L. G. Kline's place and
tipped the buggy over, throwing
Miss N. out onto the ground and
causing her to strike on her head.
She was picked up in an uncon
scious state and taken to resi-
dence close by DR.. Applewhite
was called and by administering
the proper restoratives the young
lady was soon brought to conscious
ness. Miss Keesee received no
injuries. The horse ran around to
near the school house when he was
caught. The buggy was but little
damaged.
