The American Bible Society for Benton
county, will hold its annual business
meeting next Saturday night, O'Clock,
at the parlors of Rev. Oberg, of the
Methodist chorch; and the religious ser
vices will be held on the following even
ing at the NJ. E. church south, where
short addresses will be made by several
pastors of the city, and by Rev. P. c.
Hetzler, superintendent of the society for
this district, There will also be bible
services at the Christian church, where
Rev. Frank Abram Powell will preach.
A cordial invitation is extended to all to
participate in the exercises.
Monday, at the residence of the brides
parents, few miles North of Cory ali1s,
occurred the wedding of Mr.. Fred Hanel
and Miss Francis Galloway, Rev. E. ].
Thompson officiating. The wedding
was quiet one, only the relatives and
intimate friends of the contracting
parties being present. The ceremonies
was performed at 10 O'Clock, after which
"a sumptuous breakfast was served.
Amidst a shower of rice the happy
couple departed on the north bound
train, followed by the best wishes and
hearty congratulation of a host of
friends Mr. and Mrs. Hamel will reside
at Davisville, California, where the
groom has extensive property interests
Edwin Lanes criminal career is for
the presnt at an end. In default of $3.50
bonds he is a prisoner i'll the Benton
county Jail awaiting the action of the
grand jury. He returned from
Portland last Saturday in charge of
Sheriff Osborn and the following Mon
day was arraigned before Justice Wilson.
Two complaints had been lodged against
him, one by U. B. Vogle, the other by
J. M. Nolan, each charging him with
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Lane waived examination. He was rep
resented by J. r. Bryson and the state
by ]. H. Wilson. After leaving Corvallis
week ago last Sunday, Lane was next
heard of i'll Portland where he was doing
a thriving BUSINESS in fraudulent checks
under the nom de plume of Henry John
son. Among those victimized by him in
Portland were sJeweler L. c. Heinriclsen
and H. c. Hudson, dealer i'll guns,
ammunition and sporting goods. For
these offeuses he was arrested and placed
under $500 bonds to insure his appear
ance before the Multnomah grand jury.
1t seems that Lane can offer no excuse
for his conduct When arrested letter
WAS found in his possession from NJ S.
Woodcock, President of the First Ma
tional bank of this city, stating that on
Dec. II he had a balance to his credit of
$I5o, yet he went on drawing checks,
knowing that they would not be paid.
His offense is serious one and although
several of Lanes influential friends have
interested themselves i'll his behalf
he will not likely escape a term i'll the
penitentiary.

GIB's PETITION.

The resolution that appears below, is the
one the council refused to adopt Monday
night. 1t was circulated by S. g. McFad-
den, Friday night, and is Il tribute TO his
ability as a petition ruster. There are names
on it that probably no one but he could have
secured on any pretext. To strengthen the
list. Mr.. McFadden signed the petition twice,
once as IS. G. McFadden,'' and again as
plain "Gib." Some OF the names were really
a surprise, and are to be accounted for only
by the magical potency Of Gib's influence.
The GAZETTE is glad that Gibherd did not
circulate it in this Office, as the editor has
grave doubts of any of the force being able
to withstand his establishments. But lie did
not call, hence no one connected with this
Office signed the paper. 1t is presumed that
a number did not really know what they
signed, and probably if they did, it would
have made no difference. Glib could per-
sliade the most timid man to sign his own
death warrant. The fact that he only secured
a few signatures is no reflection upon his
ability, for when we consider the subject
matter, it is wonder that he received any.
and for unadulterated zeal he takes the cake,
The following is the petition:
csolyed:-That the CHIEF of police and
nightwatch Of this city should be censared
for their conduct OF the 30th Of November:
That it is the sense Of this council that the
press of this city las done far greater dam
age to the good name Of our city, by their
persistent efforts to publish broadcast to the
world our domestic troubles; thereby doing
a greater and moro permanent and iarreach
ing injury to our city than it would be posi-
bic for any act of the chief o. police or
n:ghtwatch to accomplish.

CORVALLIS CHRISTMAS.

Christmas was more generally observed
in Corvallis this year than usually, no
doubt owing to the improved condition
of fiuan :es At most of the churches of
the city appropriate exercises were held
with Christmas trees and their attendant
gifts for all.
Delightful Christmas exercises were
held at the Congregational church SIM
day evening, in which the Sunday school
scholars all particip Tuesday even
ing the church was elaborately decorated
and Christmas tree laden with presents
was gazed at i'll anxious expectancy by q
large audience as the gifts were distri-
buted among those present.
The Sabbath school of the NJ E. church
celebrated the anniversary of the
Slvior's birth in beautiful and fitting
manner Tuesday evening, December ID.
The church was tastefully decorated with
ivy and evergreen. A fine tree was
placed on the platform and was pro-
fusely decorated with presents of every
conceivable description.
The exercises began promptly at 7:3o
O'Clock, with a Christmas coral by the
choir The program was short, bat
delightfully."- spicy-all the children per
forming their parts i'll an excellent
m amer. The distribution of presents
was conducted by c. A. Gould assisted
by corps of efficient helpers. Young
as we'll as old were on tip toe of expec-
tation.
Exclamations here and there and
all over the chuch proved that there
were many and happy surprises. AL
most all were remembered in some way
or another, and when the exercises of the
evening came to a close all united in
a perfect success. The success was due
the efforts of the various committees who
had made the Thoughtful arrangements
The Christmas Eve exercises at the
Presbyterian church were unusually
interesting and very largely attended.
An excellent Christmas service entitled
'.Joy to the World' was rendered by the
Sabbath school assisted by the choir and
congregation. Besides this each class
gave short and very appropriate recita
ton. Supt. Prof. J. B. Horner and
assistant Supt. F. M. johnson conducted
the sermon, while Mrs. F. NJ. johnson
presided at the organ. In addition to the
class exercises little Celia Nelrs and
Nina Hughes each gave beautiful reci-
tation most charming1y.
Two beautiful Christmas trees stood
upon the platform loaded with gifts for
the children and their expectant eyes
| were shining in the joyful anticipation
of the coming of Santa Claus. At length
he came; he did his work we'll and left
amid the hearty cheers of all. Teachers
kindly remembered their classes and in
turn the classes did not forget their
teachers in bestowing gifts. The pastor,
DR.. Thompson, and family were also in
cluded in the generous distribution of
presents.
The record of remarkable cures effected
enables us truthfully to say that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the only true blood purifier
prominently in the public eye today.
! Hoods pills are the best family cathartic
and liver medicine. Harmless, reliable, sure.

pa1y. The mines are located on Sizes
river IN Curry county, Io4 miles south

along the river is very rich with the
precious metal A large number Of
claims have been located and purchased
and there is = number Of claims al

George, the fifteen year old son Of
Nr. Mitchell, who formerly carried
OregoEiaDs ia this city, in apart Of two
days succeeded In securing 81. 25 in
gold, washing it out by hand which he
thinks is better than carrying papers.
The soil where the mines are located
on Sixes river is unusually rich yeild-
ing, about $ls to the ton. A high
and low bar, with the precious metal
evenly distributed, ia TO be found bAv.
ing to remove from to Is feet Of dirt
