DR.. J. M. App1ewhite has not yet re-
turned. Sensational theories regarding
his departure have been advanced galore.
He may be guilty, but the GAZETTE be-
ieves it not. It is definitely known
that he did not leave Albany with Mrs
Kenyon. On leaving that city by the
Southern Pacific train, girl was placed
in his care, to be delivered to her parents
at Woodburn. The child arrived there
in safety and under the DOCTORS care. A
GAZETTE reporter who has been in
San Francisco some time says
that he was seen frequently on
the streets and at the fair, always
alone, and nothing in his demeanor indi-
Gated that he was aware of the scandal
his departure had caused. Recent
advices state that he will be home
next week, and will be able to prove
himself innocent, and much injured by
the scandal,

The PopuliStS Meet.

At II O'Clock last Saturday morning
when Chairman Whitaker called the pop
u1ist convention to order, about forty per-
sons were present. Of this number, but
sixteen were of populistic faith, the bal
ance being either democrats or republi-
Addresses were made by Messrs. Dodele,
williamson Skeels and Chenoweth, in
which no new ideas were advanced.
Most of their time and eloquence was de-
voted to senseless harangue against the
two old parties. Banks and bankers also
came in for their full share of blame for
the present financial condition of the
country. They seem to lose sight of the
fact that eastern capitalists have millions
of money lying idle in New York banks
on which they are receiving no income at
all. Several speakers advocated the idea
of two per cent government loans direct
to the farmers, also the free and unlinlit-
ed coinage of silver, and made the start
ling declaration that any commodity bear
ing upon its face the stamp of the United
States government, was good money and
would pass as such. After dinner the
convention was again convened at which
time delegates to the state convention,
and county officers were chosen and are
as follows: Delegates, James Bruce, c.
Vanderpool, J. Whitaker and c. Skeels;
county judge, F. A. Chenoweth; sheriff,
Willard L. Price; assessor, R. Logan;
commissioner, D. Vanderpool. There
was little contests for the nominations
and the balance of the ticket will have to
be made up later, when they can find
men who will accept them In the even-
ing Ramp, of Linn county, spoke of the
present political issues from a populistic
standpoint. He was a fair speaker, and
aside from the rank absurdities which
must necessarily burden every populistic
speech, it was as good those usually
delivered by campaign orators.

There may be Method in His Mad
ness.

The GAZETTE has taken the stand all
along that the scandalous accounts re-
garding DR.. Applewhite, which have been
foisted upon the public and given promi-
nence to by the editor of the Corvallis Times,
were untrue. The publication of such mat
ter is heavy responsibility-in fact, the
heaviest an editor can assume. What mo-
tive has prompted it? The good name of a
respected and widely known professional
man is blasted; the happiness of his family
wrecked his usefulness as a public SER
want administering an important trust is
directly attacked. This is done on the
strength of rumors and one-sided statements,
while the evidence on the other side is not
presented. Why? Can it be that envious
eyes are cast at the position DR.. Applcwhite
holds? Such things are being said. Some
motive must have impelled the editor of the
Times to violate the rules of a clean and hon
est newspaper. What is it? The Gazette
may have something more to say in this
matter later ON that will be revelation to
the Corvallis public.

THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS.
A Plausible Proposition Made BY
The Hoggs.

There seems to be a good deal of doubt
and questioning as to the meaning OF the
option paper which is being circulated
among the labor and material creditors
of the o. P R. R. We notice also several
inaccuracies in the accounts of it which
have been appearing in the papers. We
have taken some pains to get what W e
believe to be accurate information abou t
this, and the result we now place at tn e
disposal of our readers. The paper is al i
option to purchase these debts and not a
purchase outright. This option expire 6
one day after the coming sale of the rail =
road, on the second of June next. If tn :
option is accepted, in the event of tn 2
purchase of the railroad by the parties il l
question, the price to be paid for the debt )
is sc per cent in cash on the completion:
of the purchase of the road, and 81 per
cent in the new first mortgage interest:
bearing bonds, to be issued by the pur-
chasers. Such bonds are to be of the
same rank and quality assswhatever other
bonds are issued by the purchasers. They
are to be issued to trustees, to be ap-
proved by the judge, who are to realize
them as they think best, and distribute
the proceeds, without deduction, among
the signers of the option paper in pro-
portion to the amount of their debts. It
appears, therefore, that there is no ques-
ton of a permanent holding of these
bonds, as some persons appear to think
but the realization may take place just as
soon as the the bonds come into the hands
of the trustees. Some such course was
necessary to carry out the intention of
the persons offering to take the option,
as the bonds will come we suppose in the
| usual denominations of one thousand
dollars each, therefore some way of real
izing them and distributing the proceeds
was involved. Some persons also have
inquired what the term and amount per
mile of the bonds won1d be. These ques-
tons cannot be answered now. The pur-
chasers must determine when the sale has
been made, what their bond issue will be.
Whatever bonds they take themselves
they will give to the option sellers if they
accept the options. What is good enough
for the purchasers must be good enough
for the creditors, and the selling of these
bonds will have to be supported by these
purchasers for their own sakes, we should
think. Some questions have been raised
as to who will be the trustees for the
creditors. Of course they should have q
voice in the matter; they should have
trustees in whom they have explicit con
fdence. By the option paper this result
will be reached by the provision making
the approval of the judge necessary te
| the appointment of the trustees. If the
creditors are not satisfied with the name:
suggested their course is plain: to make
their objections known to Judge Fuller
ton, who may be relied upon to follow
the wishes of the creditors in this respect

The Benton county republican club held
another enthusiastic meeting at the court
house last Saturday evening. Although the
weather was inclement and the populists
were being held spell bound by the elo-
quence of a speaker imported from Linn
county, the meeting was we'll attended.
The resignation of E. Finley kitson, as cor
responding secretary of the club, was ten.
dered and accepted. In his letter to the
club Mr.. Kitson expresses the belief that
Benton county will cast its vote in June for
the republican nominees if this club will
only continue with the same energy she has
evidenced since its organization, and ex.
tend the good work to the outlying dis
tricts. A vote of thanks was rendered the
Colonel for his efficient services and reso-
luton introduced by Mr. Kriebel express
ing the sincere regret of the club at his
resignation and wishing him success in his
new field of labor, was passed and the sec.
retary ordered to prepare copy of same and
mail to Mr.. Kitson at Roseburg B. w.
Johnson was chosen to fill the vacancy.
After the regular order of business had been
completed Hon. G. A. Waggoner delivered
an eulogy on the democratic party, which
was well received. His address appears in
full in another column. Three excellent
selections were rendered by the male quar-.
tette club, which added much to the en-.
thusiasm OF the occasion. The musical fea.
ture of the program is each evening becom-
ing more popular. Itienlivens the meetings,
is entertaining to all and acts as a tonic on
the sleepy ones.

SPEEDY ACTION NECESSARY,

SPEEDY ACTION NECESSARY.
Mr.. Blumhart, who is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the situation, was seen this week
by the GAZETTE man in regard to the best
policy to pursue. He believes that a COM
mittee should be sent to Washington imme-
diately for the purpose of urging upon our
representatives the necessity of speedy ac.
tion. Unless this matter is brought to the
attention of the committee on rivers and
harbors in the very near future, the appro.
priation bill win be passed, we will be too
late, and another year must elapse before
any government funds can be had for this
purpose.
BEST COURSE TO PURSUE.
The west channel, at the upper end of
Graham's island, has become obstructed
with drift, forcing the main river through
Centennial chute, around to the east of the
island, at the northeast corner of which it
turns through Hogue's creek and runs in
westerlyFcourse into the old west channel.
Here it turns north and runs in that direc-
tion to the lower end of Alexander island,
where it turns in north-easterly course and
flows some distance to the bend in the river
where the current threatens to divide.
Here the channel again turns west, forming
nearly complete semi.circle, the diameter
of which is about eighty rods, and would ex-
tend through an old water way from the
southern extremity of Alexander's island, to
. point not far south from Fischer's mill.
The bottom of this slough, or water way, is
only seven feet above low water mark. By
dredging this out, removing the Instructions
at the upper end and putting in wing dam
at the mouth of East river, the volume of
water can be confined to this channel. AT
any rate, this is the most feasible plan yet
suggested. MIR. Blumhart says. the work
can be accomplished with an expenditure of
only SIC, 600, while others estimate that it
will require from $4,000 to $4,000.
The GAZETTE, through the aid of its col
umns, was largely instrumental in securing
the last appropriation for this improvement
and now that it has begun the agitation for
another appropriation, it proposes to leave
no stone unturned until successful.

HOW PRIVATE DETECTIVES WORK.
False Information Sold to Both sides,
With BlackmaiI as an Incident.

1t is a long while since the courts
have dealt with the private detectives,
and as result the men who ply this par
ticularly nefarious trade are becoming
unusually prominent again. They are
advertising extensively, and many OF
the old offices. which were shut up when
the crusade against them began in earn
est few years ago; have been reopen
ed and the old shingles hung out again.
The private detectives were driven out
OF business by the exposure of the news
papers, says the Y. Y. San, and the
strict attitude in the matter taken by
the police. The work of these men is
nearly always sneakish in character.
They make a speciality of preying upon
the jealousy or suspicious of married
women. and their business is a lucra-
tive one, because, as is generally known
to the police, they almost invariably
sell out to both parties. A woman who
is suspicious of her husband is caught
by the attractive advertisement of one
of these agencies and ventures into the
clutches of the manager of the concern.
She wishes to have her husband shadow
ed, and two men are detailed to watch
his movements. SlauOWlug Is no
longer profitable, and is seldom resort
ed to by the regular police force.
If the detective succeeds in finding
out one or two facts about a man that
he would not care to have his wife
know, he makes an arrangement with
him by which all the reports submitted
to her are revised by him. In other
words, he writes the reports, while the
detectives take up some other case.
Their charge is usually 81 day for
each man who is supposed to be shadow
ing victim. So it costs the wife IS a
day for a report which her husband die
tates, which usually shows him in the
light of pains-taking and unexception-
able husband. The amount which the
husband pays depends upon the ability
of the agency to beat him. 1t has been
proved in scores of instances that the
business is one of blackmail and fraud,
and the police view with some alarm
the great increase in the number of
agencies during the past year.

the train by which the gentleman re-

know Mr.. Tate personally, at once
looked across in the direction indicated

intention, he passed directly on TO the
