"THE GAZETTE. !"

Charley Mccullough, the we'll
known engineer of the Corvallis
Water Co. has nearly completed a
steam barge which he intends using
as a transport boat for wood and
other farmers products from upper
river points to Corvallis. The
barge was formerly used by Mr..
Mccullough as a piledriver. The
engine and new wheel will be
placed in position soon and "The
Gazette'' will be in readiness for
operation by the first of March.
This enterprise will doubtless be a
convenience to many ,up-river
farmers having wood and other
marketable stuff during seasons of
bad roads when they are unable to
reach the city with teams, and will
also prove a commodity in other
ways. We hope Mr.. Mccullough
and his associates in the owner
ship of "The Gazette" will be sue
cessful in their new venture, and
that all who avail themselves of
the scheme will be benefited.
Cheap fuel will be the result.

A union meeting of the Cicer-

A COMPLETE SURPRISE.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Spencer were
on Wednesday evening the recip-
tents Of genuine surprise party.
Instances where such parties were
a success in every detail are in
deed rare, but this one proved an
exception. Some twenty five of
Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer's friends
concluded that it would be fitting
to In some appropriate manner
commemorate the 39th birthday
of Mrs. Spencer, which would oc-
cur on the 10th inst, but as that
was the date of the Julius Caesar
performance and Thursday even
ing was Jesse's lodge night it was
decided that Wednesday evening
would be the most convenient.
Those invited, met at the residence
of A. r. Pygall, from whence they
proceeded to the Spencer man
sion and after making hasty
reconnaissance the, citadel was cap
tured. Finding the inmates were
absent a courier was dispatched
to Tammany Hall for Jesse and
another on to the neighbors in
search of his wife; they soon ar
rived and from then on till mid
night a most enjoyable time was
had. No detail of the affair had
been forgotten and before the
guests departed for their homes a
sumptuous lunch was served.
Those present were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Spencer, Mr..
and Mrs. W. S. Hufford, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. M. Porter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Whitehorn, Mr.. and Mrs.
G. II. Pearse, Mr.. and Mrs. o. w.
Beckwith, Mr.. and Mrs. D. B. Ir-.
vine, Mr.. and Mrs. A. R. Pygall,

and Mrs. j. r. Smith, Mrs. Belle

THE COUNTY AHEA.

S. w. Condor, district attorney
W. S. Hufford, WIS. Mcfadden
and John Burnett recentlyshfought
suit for Benton county against }
r. Bryson as assignee for sHamil-
ton, Job & Co., and in Their com,
plant alleged that the money
deposited by Treasurer Barnett
was a special deposit and such
was entitled to participate in the
proceeds ahead of generalGdepos-
itors. In the answer, Assignee
Bryson denies this and set up a
history of the transactions beeween
Treasurer Burnett and Hawilton,
Job & Co., and alleges that the
account between, the county and
the bank was opened and tfemon-
ey deposited was not a special
deposit nor bailment, nor swas it
contemplated or argued that the
Identical moneys deposited Should
be returned, but were made and
received as a general deposit sub
jec to check, similar and akin to
the general deposits of other Gus
toners of the bank. The county
moneys we not kept separate
and apart from other deposits, but
were mingled with the general
funds of the bank, and no part of
the same was or is capable ofiden-
tifcation. The answer also states
that demands aggregating the sum
of $4,000 have been made ON the
ground that the sum for which
these claims were made were trust
funds and entitled to be paid in
full, and to a priority of payment
over the other general depositors.
The answer further alleges that it
would be unjust and Inequaable
to the other creditors to allowsuch
priority of payment or to allow
plaintiff, if any of said funds shall
be held to be trust funds, to receive
more than it's proportion OF the
amount of cash turned over to the
assignee when the assignment was
made. A demurrer was filed by
the plaintiff to the five separate
answers and came up for. hearing
at the last session of the circuit
court early in this month. After
the arguments were lnadd tile
sseust$as III u den 81 ID owifa
ion to render and took the matter
under advisemenU until last Thurs
day, when the demurrer was sus-
tanned. Williams, Wood & Lin
thicum, and j. r. Bryson are attor-
neys for defendants and the case
will doubtless go to the supreme
court.

A PIANO RECITAL,

Few social events have been
given in Corvallis that were more
thoroughly enjoyed than the mus
ical affair given last Saturday
evening at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Callahan. For
several months some fifteen of the
musically inclined ladies of this city
have been associated together in
a musical organization for the pur-
pose of Systematically studying the
compositions of the old masters.
1t has been their custom to meet
Saturday afternoons at the home
of Miss Hattie Friendly, at which
time parts were assigned to those
who had been appointed for duty
at the next regular meeting. The
study of Schumann occupied their
attention during the early fall
while of late their time has been
devoted to Chopin, and at the
meeting in question those present
were entertained with selections
from these two composers, those OF
the latter predominating. In the
rendition of each number ability OF
no mean order was displayed and
also evidenced carful study and
familiarity with the authors style
After the musical program had
been rendered the remainder Of
the evening was pleasantly spent
with cards and at IL o'clock dainty
refreshments were served, aftel
which jokes were cracked galore
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs
Thos. Callahan, Mr. and Mrs. Johr
Burnett, Mr.. and Mrs. Robt. Hus
ton, Prof. and Mrs. Berchtold
Prof. and Mrs. f. L. Wa hhurn
Mr.. and Mrs. ] o Wilson, Mr.. ane
Mrs. George Waggoner. Misses
Hattie Friendly, Leon Louis, Nan
ME Bloss, Eda Jacobs, Sarah ia

Robert Johnson, E. E. Wilson.

A TRIPLE SURPRISE.

One evening this week at a
meeting of the ladies' society at
the Congregational church Mrs.
Thomas Graham suggested the
idea of giving reception in the
church to Mrs. Norris Humphrey,
of Eugene, who is visiting in the
city. She was formerly an active
worker in their church. The plan
met with hearty approval and it
was decided to make arrangements
at their next meeting. At this
next meeting, however, Mrs. Gra-
ham was absent and the ladies
thought it better plan to give it
out that their original idea had
been dropped; secretly they set
about arranging that the reception
should be given at Mrs. Graham's
without the latter's knowledge.
While Mrs. Humphrey was at
DIR. Robert Wilson's for tea her
many friends were assembling at
Rev. Kantner's and at eight
o'clock marched in on Mrs: Gra-
ham, to her complete surprise. At
DIR. Wilson's it was suggested that
their party should call on Mrs.
Graham and the second surprise
was perfect. Later Tom Graham,
returning from his lodge, found
his home in possession of the en-
emy and he surrendered at once.
About thirty guests were present
and very pleasant evening
passed.

last was a large bromine print of
the O. A. g. football team, sur
mounted by handsome frame,
the picture being the artistic work
of Prof. Pernot, of the college,
and the frame that of A. f. Peter

there was displayed a beautiful

ions of Oregon" and neatly ex-
ecuted monogram of the letters

These will be valued additions to

WHO'S AN APE?

Time was when the editor of the Times
was republican.
True enough, and the theory of evolu-
tion tells us that the time was when man
was an ape. The world moves, neighbor.-
Times.
Had the spirit of Prof. Darwin
recently invaded the sanctum
sanctorum of the Times, it might
have found what he in his life
time sought in vain and thus
made out of his evolution theory
more than a soap bubble.

G. E. Nicholson, reachsd Cor
Wallis yesterday from MArshfeld,
Coos county. In reaching his
destinati n Mr.. Nicholson was
compelled to travel t9O miles
through the mud On horseback,
400 Tiles by steamer to San
fsraIe 3sc0 alh thence g0o miles by
rail t0 Corvallis via TIE Southern
Pacific. Mr.. Nicholson} has been
for a number Of years connected
with the Coos Bay, Roseburg &
Eastern railroad and reports
twenty-six miles have been, COM
pleted which is now in opetation.
Preliminary lines have been, run
to coal mines adjacent to the rosd
and estimates made with a view to-
their early completion. All work
has been abandoned for the winter
but Mr.. Nicholson is of the opin-
ion that it will be resumed early
in the spring and the road COM
pleted to Roseburg, a distance of
81 miles, before tho rainy season
sets in next fall. The line taps
several fertile valleys and runs
through rich agricultural section.
The roads completion will prove
boon to people living along the
