cnEsro,s VICTORY COMPLETE.

New York, Oct. S.-A special cable to
the Herald from Curacoa says that news
is received of the complete overthrow of
the de facto Government and the over
throw of its troops near Los Teques,
where they had been stationed to pro-
tect the capital. 1t was a short hut de-
cisive battle, the Crespists having the
advantage from the outset. The Vii
legas-Pulido soldiers fed in utter rout,
many hundreds being taken prisoners,
among them their commander-ln-chief.
General Crespo's advance upon the capl--
tai was unopposed. Villegas-Pulido and
Cabinet have fed, it is rlmored, for
Europe. The last act of the Villegas-
Pulido Government was the cancella-
ton of the exequators of both the Amerl-
can and British vice-consuls. Details
are almost unattainable, but it seems
certain that Cfespo's triumph is abso-
lutte and the revolution is at an end.

SCHOOL ApPoRTIoNMENT.- County school
superintendent w. F. Yates has been en-
gagged this week In making the apportion-
ment of the money collected for school pur-
poses in Benton county for 1892. The total
amount of the apportionment for the county
is SlO,6S4, or about $1,000 less than last
year, to be divided among 3697 children, an
increase of 90 over last gear. This money
is raised by tve-mill tax and the reason
! for the. large decrease in the amount ap-
portioned this year from that of last year is
caused from the fact that there remains ON
the tax roll for 1892 long list of delinquent
taxes which are yet unpaid. Corvallis dis
trict received in April, 1891, $l,935 for
| maintaining it's schools, this year the dis.
trict will only receive Sl465. 50, or $466. 05
less than for the year 1891. The total num-
ber of pupils in the district in 1891 was 7O6
and for 1892 the total number is 767, an in.
crease of 81. The Corvallis public schools
are already overcrowded for the number OF
teachers employed and the necessity of EN-.
ploying additional teachers is apparent, but
lit seems that expenses will have to be cur
tailed, instead of increased, this year.

A neatly dressed young man, a
fair talker came into town the first OF
this week and has been trying to work
another fake advertising scheme on
our business men. His scheme is about
the thinnest excuse upon which to ex.
toit money from an honest man with
ont putting his hand in his pocket and
taking it, that has ever been introduced.
He charges those who bite at his fake,
$3.50 for painting their name and
place of business on a 6x9 card and
the privilege of hanging it up in the
depots among q lot of similar cards. A
man would receive more benefit from
his money by throwing it in the river
than from such fake. IF he threw ii
in the river he would at least have the
pleasure Of seeing the ripples it made
in the water, otherwise it would be
nothing.

skill could do was done for the child, but
the little one fingered along until Thursday
morning when death relieved it from it's suf.
ferings. 1t was their only child and its
sudden death is a sad affliction to the parents
who have the sincere sympathy of their
friends in their bereavement. The funeral
will take place this afternoon.

SHOT HIM SELF.
ALBERT MoDIE PUTS AN END TO HIS LIFE
WITH WINCHESTER RIFLE.

The report came to Corvallis
Wednesday evening that Albert Mode,
who lives with Jesse Brown, about II
miles south of this city. had shot him.
self with a Winchester rifle. The par
ticulars of the affair, as near as could
be learned, are as follows: Modie had
been in Corvallis for several days and
noon Wednesday returned home and
went about his work. About 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon he came into the
house and got Winchester rifle telling
the people of the house he was going
out to shoot some birds. a few min
utes after his departure the inmates of
the house were startled by the report
of 4 gun in close proximity and upon
going out into the yard they found
Mode lying under tree dead, with a
CHASTITY wound in his head inflicted by
Il ball from his rife, which was found
lying by his side. TIE ball entered
the forehead just above the eyes
fracturing the skull, passing through
the brain and coming out at the back
of the head causing almost instant
death. Every indication pointed to
premeditated suicide, although some of
his friends are inclined to think the
shooting was accidental. Albert Mode
was about 40 years of age and had
lived for many years in Benton county.
He has numerous relatives living In
this community and was pretty well
known here. While in Corvallis
Wednesday, he drew 5000 out of the
bank which heg gave to his sister short
ly before committing the rash act.
The funeral took place Thursday after
noon, the services being conducted by
Rev. E. J. Thompson, of this city, and
the remains were inferred in the Oak
Ridge cemetery.

PEOPLES PARTY.

Some of our most respected citizens
went to the court house on Wednes-
day evening to hear M. V. Rork speak
on some of the evils he thinks this
country bears. We are sorry to say
Mr. Rork is willing TO say such bitter
things in such ranting manner as he
did on that evening
He does not give the republican or
democratic parties the credit of beng
honest, thoughtful or earnest to the
least degree. He has labored, for pay,
on the unpopular and dlscontented side
of all political questions so long that
he now loses his temper and lashes
himself in his fury. In his presump-
ton he seems to think he is the only
one in Benton county who has ever
thought on any of the political ques-
tions of the day. He stigmatizes all
men of wealth us persons without hearts
and says that men who loan money are
"blood, suckers that pretend to be
| Christians.
The motto of the organization he rep
resents is a good one, ''The injury OF
one is the concern of ALL" but we
doubt if the speaker is very much con-
cerned about the injury of any one but
himself.
He dilates on the exploded ideas of
"Fiat" money He says the govern
ment can make money out of anything
by simply stamping the material, and
by authority making it legal tender.
He forgets that commerce regulates,
the value of everything, and that
money the same as any other pro-
duct of the people, depends for its
value in commerce for the amount oi
other products the people will exchange
for it. If fiat money would pay debts
and buy -four and other necessaries tor
the home, we should have an easy
time of it.
We should then erect a money mil
and set it to grinding, and make our.
selves rich. There is i, difference be
tween ones being wealthy, and having
plenty of money. Wealth is the
amount of goods one has that he enjoys
and that others desire. Money is gooc
just as long as it represents wealth
and no longer.
| Articles stamped by government
are money and will be received ir
trade as such as long as the govern
ment has wealth to pay it's Liabilities
We can not get more potency out O
our government than the amount o
energy we put into it. One can no
lift himself by his boot straps. Some
people seem to think the government ;
kind of perpetual motion, by which we
can get wealth without effort.
All the intelligent audience tina
listened to Mr. Rork would probabl,
agree with him that everything in ou
society and government is not just a
it should be, but they do not think h,
argues rightly or fairly. Some Of th'
ablest minds of the world are to-da,
considering the financial conditions o
the people, and are giving their atten
ton to methods, which, although they
are not short cuts to wealth, as art
Mr. Rork's fiat money making
schemes, are nevertheless more plansl
BILE and more feasible. Mr.. Rorl
certainly will not be able to delndt
many persous into following him i'll hi
visionary, partisan schemes to swell the
ranks of the malcontents.

ALL FOR SPITE.--Sam, Chinanlan
who has been employed for some time
at the Royal restaurant as cook, was
arrested late last night on a charge of
trespass and fined $40 in the police
court this morning. Last Monday he
was paid off by Mrs. Armstrong and
discharged and another cook was
employed in his place This enraged
Sam and for pure spite, evidently, he
vent into the restaurant last night
after it had been closed for the night,
and commenced destroying everything
that he could lay his hands on. He
doctored the -four, meat and coffee and
damaged some fifteen or twenty dollars
worth O. provisions before he was dis
covered. Mrs. Bingham noticed light
in the kitchen and knowing that the res
taurant was closed, suspicioned that
something was wrong, called an officer
which resulted as above stated. The
Chinaman claimed, when arrested, that
he only went in after cup of coffee.

ODD FELLOWS ENTERTAINMENT.

One of the most pleasant entertain
ments which it has been the privilege
of the writer to attend this season was
gwen in the opera house on Tuesday
evening by the Odd Fellows lodges of
this city, to commemorate the 73d an
niversary of the foundation of Odd Eel
lowship in America. AT s o'clock the
members Of the three lodges -Subor-
dinate, Encampment and Rebekah de-
grees-had assembled at their hall in
full regalia. After forming a line of
march, preceded by the agricultural
college band, they proceeded to the
city hall. Enough of the hall had been
reserved and arranged similar to
lodge room and the officers and men,
bers assumed their respective places.
After few Introductory remarks by
the Noble Grand, Geo. E. Smith, an
opening ode was sung by the lodge,
followed with prayer by the chaplain,
Rev. L. l. Mercer.
A very pretty piano duet was then
excellently rendered by Misses Anna
Allen and Sarah Jacobs.
Rev. DR.. Thompson, in few and
well-chosen remarks, related the history
of the order from its foundation in
America, in the city of Baltimore, on
the Goth day of April, 1916, by
Thomas Wildey and four others, the
growth of the same under the energies
and perseverance of Wildey, the found
ing of the Rebekah and Encampment
degrees, and SO OH down to the present
day.
The vocal solo, ga Hundred Faith
oms Deep" was then excellently sung
by Rev. D. V. Polling, of Indepen-
dence, and he responded to the hearty
encore which was given HIM. A selec,
ton from Shakespeare was then rem
dered in his inimitable way by Fl. G..
Davis, showing that he had made a
study Of the great authors works. A
piano duet by Misses Lou Wiles and
Pauline Kline was among the choice
pieces of the evening and was excel
lently rendered.
An address was delivered by Past
Grand VIM. F. Cowden, of Tacoma, in
which he portrayed the good this order
is doing, how they are carrying out the
principles of their order-"to visit the
sick, relieve the distressed, bury the
dead and educate the orphan" and how
they stand side by side and hand in
hand, laboring with the church in their
objects of charity and mercy.
The vocal duet, "The Minute Gun
at Sea" was beautifully rendered by
Messrs. A. w. Bowersox and d. V.
Polling and the hearty applause which
greeted them proved that the audience
was highly pleased with their effort, to
which they responded. After the clos
ing ode the lodge returned to their hall
wnere ice CT cam and other refreshments
were served.
This program marks an event in the
history Of Odd Fellowship in Corvallis,
which will be long and pleasantly re-
membered by all who were in attend.
ance.
This Was the first appearance of the
college band in public, and they acquit-
ted themselves very creditably.
