The college athletic association again
comes to the front in the way of sport. The
next thing on the program is an exhibition
game of baseball next Saturday, April IA,
between the Albany college and association

both mines are materially strengthened in
the way of players since last year. The
game will be called promptly at o'clock
and an admission fee of Is cents viii be
charged in order to defray the expenses of
the visiting team. The list Of players is as

Last Nights Meeting.

At the ratification meeting held last
night futile attempt was made to re-
store harmony IN the democratic ranks.
The audience was quite large and at first
quite enthusiastic. McFadden made the
opening address and while he produced
no argument, and made the startling
announcement that thirty years of
prosperity had brought abject poverty lie
got off the stage without disgracing him
self. This was followed by music by the
Cleveland quartette club which was the
only creditable feature of the evening
At this juncture Judge Burnett was in
troduced who spoke for an hour. He
told the people that the republican party
was built OH fraud and that ex-president
Harrison was a liar. He was only
scheduled for ten minute speech but
mistaking ridicule for applause, he held
the boards for sixty minutes thinking
the audience was being entertained by
his clowish appearance, and nlisstate-
ments of facts. During his remarks
most of the audience left in disgust while
those remaining turned the meeting into
regular panden9onium and the speaker
turned Oh to the president and demanded
in commanding tones that he preserve
order during the balance of his remarks.
Being informed that the time allotted to
him had been exhausted the judge was
still loath to close and SO continued until
his words were no longer audible above
the din and noise, and finally sat down
in disgust, after being called down the
third time. The would d-be-silver tongued
orator Thomas Jefreys followed with an
excellent address. In fact it was con-
sidered good forty years ago. J. K.
Weatherford was introduced but spoke to
empty benches. AS a whole it was about
the tllinest affair ever held in Corvallis
and not few democrats feel sick with
the whole business, convention, ticket
and all

Tried to Run the Town.

W. Kisor and Ben Felger, OF rhiomath,
had very nice time in Corvallis Monday.
Striking saloon they proceeded to get their
skates on and sailed over town looking for a
fight They separated and hlsor was finally
accommodated, receiving two Elack eyes rs
a souvenir OF the atIray. Felger took the
matter up for his friend and becoming dis
turbulent aid very noisy on the street was
placed in the city Cooler" to allow his pug
nacity to evaporate. His friends soon got
him out by his agreeing to pay a light fine
and leave quietly for home. Fa!ger and ki
sor left together i'll cart. While going up
Main street, the former concluded to vent
his spleen on the city by firing several shots
from a revolver which he is said to carry On
all occasions. A warrant was speedily sworn
ont in Judge y our Honor's" court and Chief
Taylor followed him to .he outskirts of the
city, when Felgcr was located waiting for
more whiskey. He was brought before the
Justice ard plead guilty to charge Of carry
ing q concealed weapon, and asked for c!fm
eucy on account OF threats which he Gained
had been made against his life and other .x-
tenuatirg circumstances. The judge replied
that the circumstances seemed to him to
justify the highest penalty. but as the de
fendapt had plead guilty, ard this being his
first trial for this offense he fined the would
be bad man fifty dollars and costs. He i'm
mediately left with the officers to see his
friends, that the money might be forthcom-
ing. He evidently had hot had experience
enough, and becoming abusive he was taken
before Police Judge Porter and fined sixty
dollars for discharging fire arms in the city
limits. These fines were settled next morn.
ing. Why Kisor was not arrested too, is
not apparent. He was perambu!ating the
streets..in a far more intoxicated condition
than Felger, who claims his whole trouble
grew out of the attempt to stand up for his
friends cause. Feiger does not bear a very
savory reputation.
These, ,hoodiums will soon learn that they
cau't come into Corvallis and get few drinks
and then run the town. The officers are OH
to them, and unless they conduct themselves
hereafter in a more orderly manner they will
be requested to not favor Corvallis with
their very undesirable society.

RIVER TRANSPORTATION.
Competition Closer than Ever
Before-Trafic In
creasing.

A GAZETTE reporter had occasion last
week to visit Portland and accepted an in
| vitation from G. II. Abernethy, purser of
| the steamer Elwood, to make the trip via
the Willamette We took on about IS tons
of -four for Portland, and left Corvallis
just before supper, reaching Salem by bed
time, and Portland by noon the next day.
We were surprised at the amount of compe-
tition and volume of freight traffic on the
Willamette river between Portland and
Harrisburg, and even as far as Eugene.
| The Modoc and Elwood make emi-weekiy
trips letwesn Harrisburg and Portland; the
new steamer Eugene. weekly trips between
Harrisburg and Portland; the Altoona tri-
weekly trips between Independence and
Portland, making speciality of passengers;
the Willamette Chief triweekly trips be
tween Portland and Salem; the Toledo ply
ing the Yamhill river and thence to Port
land, tri.weekly; besides two or three tran
sient steamers and the daily Oregon City
boats.
The GAZETTE man asked what rates were
quoted generally, and was told that the
boats intended to do the business at all odds
and our freight rates are usually one-half
railroad tariff, or less, depending on the
competition we have from other steamers,
and in passenger rates about the same rules
prevail Captain Smith, of the Modoc, the
oldest captain on the river, said that he
had never known river competition 80
close. Some of the boats are alleged to go
ont on land and solicit the transportation of
farm produce, etc. Each of these river
steamers makes market for from ten to
twenty. five cords Of wood per day, and pay
from 81. so to $2.75 per cord for it on the
bank. For passenger traffic. the steamers
are little slow, but the difference in tariff
and the ease and comfort of well equipped
steamer make it wIthal desirable method
of local transportation, aud by another sea.
son. when the river navigation above Cor
wallis shall have been made permanent by
the contemplated river Improvement, we
predict an almost universal usage of the
river as means of freight transportation,
between Eugene and Portland, with a much
larger passenger traffic than at the present
time.

The Complexion of a Chinese

Is not yellower than that Of All unfortunate
individual alwhose liver complaint has assum-
ed the chronic form. The eyebais of the
sufferer assume saffron hue, there is dull
pain in the region Of the organ affected, the
tongue is coated, breath sour, sick headaches
usually but not always occur. and there is
posture. Constipation and dyspepsia are also
attendants of this very common ailment,
always in its aggravated form, liable to breed
assesses of the liver, which are very dan
gerous. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters wholly
eradicates it, as well as the troubles coInpli-
Gated with it and which it originates. In

involved. This fine Alternative tonic removes
costiveness and indigestion, rheumatic, nerv-

Anticipating the Wilson Bill.


These times our people have but little
cagh; moat of them are inclined to blame
the present administration for this condi.
tion of affairs. Probably they are right,
but whatever the cause, the fact remains
undisputed if merchant wishes to do bus
mess he must count on little or no profit
and put his wares so low that the elephant
trodden purses of the community can reach
them. Mr.. Kline seems to recognize this
fact, and a large sign in front of his store
proclaims, 't0ur entire stock of clothing
must be sold in the next sixty days at new
tariff prices" Mr.. Kline is a man of his
word and no doubt in this case means what
he says. His stock of clothing is complete
and well selected.
Burnett and many of the democats have
been on thewarpath all day. Several disgrace.
full rows have been the result.

Immediately after the convention adjourned,
Hon. Geo. Waggoner was elected chairman.
Perfect harmony prevailed throughout the
entire convention. A discussion as to
whether or not the convention should en-
dorse the action of the caucus in fayoring
the nomination of Tolbert Carter for pint
senator from Benton and Lincoln countfes.:
resulted in the motion being declared out OF
order, this convention not being cognlzant
of any caucus proceedings. The delegates to
the district and state conventions therefore
went uilins tructed, but 1t is thonght that
they will favor the nomination Of binger
Herman, John Kelsay for attorney general,
Tolbert Carter joint senator, and W. E Yates
for prosecuting attorney for the second judi
cial district The committee on resolutions
not being ready to report when the convention
adjourned, were given two years III which to

three cheers for the republican candidates,

The democratic convention to-day fur
nished the most complete Illustration
imaginable of hard times. Not dele
gate was drunk, thing which has not
occurred before since the days of Jack
son. We can well.see what the Cleve-
land administration has brought us to
when o2 democrats meet in dry conven-
ton and nominate each other without
mercy, although they know every one
of them is doomed to defeat The most
noticeable feature of the convention was
set of resolutions which was intended
to be used as platform during the next
canvass. The most prominent part of
democratic politics for many years has
been its platforms, which have uniformly
been honored more in the breach than
the observance and are to-day looked
upon as the cheapest of all claptraps to
catch credulous voters No intelligent
democrat expects a sensible man to place
any confidence in his platform; the Won
der is that he preserved cheek enough to
make any promises to the people what
ever.
Democracy, being of southern birth,
has claimed the chivalry and gallantry
of the south. The Benton county dem
ocrats are long ways from home and
have forgotten their mothers and sisters
when they, i'll a resolution designed as
part of a party platform and for the
purpose of their own political advance
ment, cast vile and contemplate slur
upon the young ladies who were em-
ployed to act as clerks of committees in
the last legislature. We have not the
space at this time to show the enormity
of this insult to worthy young ladies,
who have, like young men, sought and
obtained e1nploymet at the state capitol
during the session Of the Legislature, and
will only say the resolution cannot but
brand the convention which passed it as
one which all good people should feel
to admit was held in the Ieth
century.
The nomination of DR. Applewhite
for coroner, under all the circumstances,
was intended as an indecent reference to
a scandal which it was not proper to refer
to in convention. The remarks which
showed quite plainly that the.
members had forgotten the dignity of
gentlemen after passing resolution in
sulting to ladies.
