A DRUNKEN BRAWL.

Charley Wheeler and Ed Scott, two
characters generally known hereabouts,
had an outing on Friday night, which
has so far resulted in the arrest of one
man, with strong probabilities of more
to follow. 1t seems these fellows had
been taking on a good supply of cred
eye' and were on the lookout for quar-
REL which eliminated between them
selves while taking a drink in Schultz
lines Occidental soloon. Wheeler had a
gun in his pocket, which was known to
Scott who says to Wheeler, Take that gun
out of your pocket, and I'll fight you
right here" and Wheeler, without words,
passed the weapon to the man behind
the bar. While in the act and when
Whee1er's back was turned, Scott struck
him on the head with his fist and they
clinched, were elected from the room to
the rear, where they fell, Wheeler get
ting the best of the fall While in this
position Scott cut Wheeler in the neck
with an ugly looking knife, inficting
what might have been dangerous
wound. Mr.. Schnitz1ine took the knife
from Scott's hand and has it in his pos
session. DIR. Lee was called and dressed
the victims wound. Wheeler preferred
charges against the bartender for an as
sault with dangerous weapon and Of
fcer McLagan arrested the accused, who
will be tried before Justice H. L. Hol-
gate at 10 O'Clock this morning. 1t IS
more than probable that Scott has left
the country to avoid arrest.

At the close Of the game the Monmouth
team gave three cheers for the o. A. @. and
the best of good will prevailed. The game
was very good one and we hope that every
one is convinced that football players are
gentlemen and not sluggers. The decisions
of the referee were correct in every case and
he and Umpire Powell both deserve COM
mendation for their work.
The football boys ate supper at Cauthorn
hall and in the evening a reception and
entertainment was given at the college. An
interesting program had been prepared con-
sisting Of music, tumbling, speeches and
magic lantern show. The latter was -es-
pecially pleasing, consisting mainly Of
comie sketches by our football artist: =,
When. the program was completed the
time was devoted to social enjoyment.
The team leaves to-day Saturday. at 1
O'Clock.
A game between O. A. G. and Pacific uni
versity would probably be a close one.

the Q. A C.'s mascot, and, while somewhat
timid, performed his part satisfactorily.
President Campbell, Of Monmouth, was an
interested spectator and seemed we'll pleas

The Pacific university beat Monmouth in
a score of % too. The game with o. A, @,

time Of the game was the same.
Although the ground was wet the day was
very fair for football. Had the ground been
hard some ofthe boys would not have found
it SO comfortable while sliding along on their
backs.
Hon. Judge Burnett promised the boys
that if they won the game, he would give
each Of them dollar. When the game was
over he placed Is silver dollars in the hands
oftheir captain.

OREGON AT THE FAIR.

Mr.. H. E. Mitchell, of Portland, one of the
committe of fifteen III charge Of affairs rela-
tive to the Oregon exhibit at the midwinter
fair, was in Corvallis Wednesday on bus
mess expedition and while here made known
the proposed methods Of procedure and out
lined the transactions Of the committee tn us
far. In addition to all necessary material
for the construction Of the state building,
size Of which is 1l0x140 feet, about $1,000
have been contributed, and the transporta-
tion Of the entire exhibit, free Of charge, to
and from San Francisco, has been arranged
for. The Oregon building will be con-
structed wholly from Oregon materials by
Oregon workmen and erected on a choice
site, donated by the fair management, by
Oregon mechanics exclusively, each lo-
cality taking shares Of stock to be repre-
sented on the payroll Of the Oregon midwin-
ter fair committee. It is the plan OF this
committee to issue shares Of stock to all who
contributed to this scheme at 81 per share,
and then have the legislature at its next ses-
sion refund the money, and to this PROPOSE
tion twelve hold-over senators have already
pledged their vote. 1t seems to us to be a
plan of merit that should meet with the
hearty cooperation of all interested in the fu-
ture of our promising state. The subscrip-
ton of$1, IS, $40 or more by those who can
spare the means will return in tenfOld ratio
like the bread cast upon the waters.

TOO MUCH OATS.

There has been great deal of sickness and
few deaths in this city of late, the principal
cause of the trouble being very severe
colds, bordering on la grippe. Such
are the Affections Of the human family, but
the trouble has not been confined wholly
thereto. Last Saturday night! valuable
Jersey COW, the property Of Prof. J. b;
Horner, after an overdose Of oats, concluded
thatshe would no longer continue to furnish
the family and a few neighbors with her
choice brand of lacteal fluid but would cease
an existence that was confined to barren
stall, the emoluments Of which were few
dry straws, little bran, oats, etc, and in con-
sequence other conclusion she shuftieded of
her COW mortal coil. Thus ended the
troubles of her bovine existence and suit
able interment followed on Sunday morn
ing, over which the professor presided with
sad dignity. There is never loss but
there is a gain, tits said, and since the un-
fortunate demise Of her cowship new GUS
toner is made for one Of our enterprising
dairymen.

were p1Ctuere OF surprise, others that OF
pleasure, while on many were marked
the reflection of dire despair and disap-
pointment. !. The elimination of this
sale means much to many, and among
he..many ideas floating, as it were, on
one seems to have considerable local
significance: The indebtedness accumu-
lated against the Oregon Pacific since it
passed into the hands of the court amount
to about 81, 100000. Being debt of the
court it is claimed that it is all OH pari-
ty-any one creditor of the court hav-
ing an equal standing with all of the
others or any one of them. This bid of
$500, 600 if confirmed, will, it is claimed
pass the road to the purchaser free of
any debt. If this air vision is correct,
what then becomes of the other 81 ,ooo,-
600 of court dehts9 Obviously the whole
lot would get ten per cent of their claims
and loose the rest. With such theoret-
ical conditions staring in emb1azoned let
ters the court in his face, the subject of
confirmation is quite questionable.
There has been too much during the
past three years of the varieties of law
suits which may be brought to postpone,
or prevent the settlement of o. P. matters
to have much faith in the other fellows
sitting still to be left out in the cold.
Men who have paid out their money to
pay these same 1aborers and material
and hold the courts certificates, profess
sing to be first charge on the property,
will probably have something to say as
to the distribution of the funds arising
from this sale.
The following is a partial statement
made to a GAZETTE reporter by repre-
sentative of the present management:
"Messrs. Hughes and Clark represent
and are acting for the joint committee
of the bondholders and the receiver GER
tifcate holders, of which committee Mr..
lanes A. Blair is chairman. Only such
bondholders and certificate holders as
have contributed to the fund to purchase
the road will share in the benefits of its
purchase Such bondholders and certi-
ficate holders as have not contributed to
this fund ale simply left out in the cold
and loose their interest in the property.
The majority part of the bondholders,
headed by Mr.. Blair, wh1sh has so long
been struggling to rescue the property
from its entanglements has thus succeed
ed in its efforts, and as Mr.. Blair and his
friends represent an immense amount of
money, and now have full control of the
property, there is no doubt but what its
further extention and development are
fully assured. This cannot but be well
come news to every inhabitant of the
Willamette valley and the echoes of the
sale will be greedily caught up by east
ern Oregon, which has been looking with
longing eyes for the eastward extension
of this road. The passing of the road
into such strong hands must mean its ex-
tension very shortly over the Cascade
mountains, and as the energetic manage
ment will doubtless be continued, it
means the perpetuation on the enlarged
scale of the active competition with the
other roads of the state, which has tend
ed IS efieftda1fy % kcEl 80
rates throughout the valley. !"

A STORY OF A KISS.

On Friday night last those who attended
the rendition Of the above at the opera house
were indeed fortunate and were treated to an
entertainment good enough for anybody.
Every character in the cast was sustained in
an artistic manner and to particularize as TO
the individual merits would be but to show
partiality. In the afterpiece ''The New Pro-
fessor" shone with brilliancy, and the enter
possible. Manager Howell is to be congrat-
ulated for his efforts in bringing to Corvallis
this class of talent and If he continues as he
has begun, there is no doubt but that the
patronage of the opera house will be in
creased. He is now tryinging to secure the
celebrated Frank Daniels in Little Puck"

FOLLOW SUIT.

Charley Reed, who is the owner OF one
thousand acre tract of land in the northern
portion of the county, was in the city Sat-
urday and gave out the information that he
had laid off reservation of several acres for
the purpose of deer park and that he now
has within the enclosure five beautiful
white tail specimens. 1t his intention to
increase that number by the addition OF
about ten more and care for them as they
require, with view of supplying himself
and friends with plenty of sport and ''deer
meat" in an inexpensive manner after a
proper season of propagation has elapsed.
This is certainly meritorious plan and
should be emulated by more of our large
land owners.

SHOW THEM AT FRISCO.

On Monday evening we were shown
through the new barn of the o. A. G. by
superintendent, G. d. Thompson, and in
structed concerning the the animal occu-
pants. Several cattle had recently under
gone the dehorning process by Prof. II. L.
French and seemed to be doing quite well,
among which were number of two or three
ysar-old range steers. Of the sights especial.
ly attractive we noted a three-year old
Polled Angus heifer, the weight of which
was nearly 100 pounds perfect beauty
which the college authorities threaten to
kill. As substitute for this proposition it
is suggested that she be sent as part OF
Oregon's exhibit to the midwinter fair.
None better will be shown. Another ami
NAL worthy of mention, is q tw"-year-old
short horn heifer that is hard to excel, and
with these two specimens at the fair Ore
gon need not be abashsd at her live stock
display even if none others are shown. a.

SHOTS AT RANDOM FIRED.

On account of numerous other enter
tainments the lecture of Frank Abram
Powell last night was not largely at
tended. The subject was handled in an
able manner and the shots of truth
which the speaker fired were certainly
not at random, but on the contrary were
aimed with precision and hit the mark.
The speaker favored agitation of the
methods of reform, and claimed that it
was only through agitation that the
church and society could become purified
and the human race made better. The
lecture was replete with good thoughts
clothed with beauty of expression and
eloquently delivered.

ADEFE6riyE PARALLEL.

A Republican paper attempts to par
allel the conditions in New York when
GARFIELD took the presidential chair
with that which will exist when Mr..
CLEVELAND takes his seat. Then
CONKLING and PLATT we're senator's,
controlling the party machine. Then
the machine opposed the nomination of
GARFIELD. GARFIELD antagoniZed the
senators III the matter OF patronage.
The senators resigned. were not re-
elected, sulked and took their revenge
in 'S4 and defeated BLAINE.
The points of resemblance are few
just enough on the surface to make an
appearance of paIallelism. The points
OF variance are many and vital. The
antagonsm of the two senators now to
the president-elect; their opposition to
his nomination; their control of the ma
chine, constitute the points Of simili-
tude. The differences are in the per-
sonalitieS of the parties and their condl-
tons. GARFIELD was elected, but he
was the choice OF faction; CLEVELAND
goes into the presidency with the united
Democracy behind him. GARFIELD
was dual man. No man had clearer
moral sight: no man knew better what
was the right thing to do; but he lacked
backbone; lacked the courage to do
what he saw was right. He wdS a
preacher in politics, always bad COM
bination-bad, that is, for the preacher
side of the man. He was dominated
as he was nominated by BLAINE. and
BLAINE was controlled by his dislike of
CoNKLING, a feeling heartily recipro-
Gated. Mr.. CLEVELAND IS president
solely because he is a man of convic-
lions, honest in them and of unbending
courage in maintaining them. He has
behind him united party. Back of
the congressman who might like to
annoy and thWart him are the people;
who will make short work of them il
they try it. The senators from New
York know this now, if they did not
some time since. They are in no posi-
ton to fight the president; they have
all they can do to hold their own. They
could not more effectively commit hari
kari than by engaging in wrangle over
the patronage with the president. The
parallel DIVORCES just at the point where
it looks as if it might be one if the lines
would only keep together

MARRIED q'oTHER FELLOW.
a Wisconsin Maiden Surprises
Her Relatives.

CHICAGO, Jan. 81 Like a thunder
bolt falling from a clear sky will come
the announcement to Mr.. aud Mrs A.
Smith, of this city, that their niece. Miss
Allie jackson, who has been visiting
with them for some weeks, was
married at Kenosha Jan. IL to d. A.
Harris, trader for A. c. Bull Il Co., Of
the board of trade. IT, however, tho
news causes tlutter of excitement, it
will be nothing 10 the effect that it will
have in the little town of OcOntO. where
the parents OF Miss Allie. or rather Mrs.
Harris, reside, and where she was
to be married to a young lum-
herman. The young lady was
of different opinion and
as she has attained the age of twenty
one. there was no valid reason why she
should not have her own way. Some
years ago Miss Jackson, then a young
lady of nineteen, came to Chicago with
her uncle and aunt, Mr.. aud Mrs.
Smith. for the purpose of finishing her
education. Miss Jackson was a very
pretty girl, and as charming in
manner as she was attractive in
looks. She quickly became favOrite
at the Carleton club; at d reception Mr..
Harris met her. Mr.. Harris is thirty-One
years of age, and one of those typical
good fellows who please without daz-
zling, and who has way Of making him
self thoroughly agreeable to the fair
sex. 1t was not case of love at first
sight, but the young people were evil
IDENTIFY pleased with one another and the
acquaintance ripened into friendship,
and friendship drifted into love.

THE DISTRICT VS.. THE NOR
NAL SCHOOLS.

The normal schools had their rise in
the admitted inefficiency of the teach
ers of those schools which must ever be
the greater in number. and those in
which the larger number of the youth
of the state get what education they can
have. the district schools of the state. 1t
was felt that some means should be
adopted for giving teachers instruction
in the methods of teaching. so that the
best possible results could be had for
the short time in which pupils in those
schools can be taught.
The district schools complain that
they are not receiving the benefit from
the normals in the supply Of teachers
which they expected. The graduates Of
the uOrmaIs go to the cities and the viii
lagos, while the country schools get but
very small percentage OF them. The
complaints come mainly from this
source, and the statistics show that they
have foundation in fact.
The fault is not with the normals.
They have no power to direct the loca-
ton of their graduates Or undergo adj
yates; the fields in which they sha II
work. These are as subject as are all
others to the law, as true Of human
action as of natural forces, that action
runs on the lines of least resistance.
The line of least resistance for the nor
nal graduate is the line of greatest
compensation, just as it Is with all per
sons. They have the very human de-
sire to get the best return possible for
their labor. The cities and villages
offer the most; the country districts the
least compensation. The labor is or
should be the same lii each; the pay
should be the same. But it is not. The
average monthly pay III the graded
schools for male teachers is S9).35; for
females So. 10; in the common or district
schools the average monthly pay Is. for
males, S4o.79; and for females. S3l.49.
This is the sufficient Reason why SO
comparatively few normal students
