DOCUMENTS BURIED DURING WAR
TIMES.

In making his rounds the other day in
called on Rev. P. A. Moses. The reversnd
gentleman was found in his study busily en-
gagged in tbs preparation of data for his re
port to the general conference which con-
not too busy to talk awhile, and gave the
reporter an interesting bit of information
regarding his life. Rev Moses is n native
of Virginia, where he was educated. In
Tuition was not free as it is now in most
state institutions, and boy, to get through
college then, had to make the best oi
bis opportunities and manage his finances
with far greater economy than at the pres
ent. In 1855, Mr.. Moses graduated at ths
Randolph-Macon college, taking the degree
Of A. NJ. On completing his course at col
lege he began the study of law. While thus
engaged he was elected to the state senate
and served one term. Later his plans were
changed, and he entered the ministry and
became the president of one of the leading
Methodist colleges of the south. When
the war broke out, Mr.. Moses was comm1s-
stoned chaplain of an Arkansas infantry reg
iment and remained with it until after Lees
surrender. Fearing that the federal troops
would destroy his personal effects while he
was away at the front, Mr.. Moses burisd
them near his home. Among the articles so
cached, were his diplomas. his commission
and numerous letters of recommendation,
which Mr.. Moses still has in his possession.
These documents, kept in strong box in
one corner of the study, were brought out
and shown to the GAZETTE man. The d.

A BLooMER GIRL SPEAKS.

To those who have had the pluck to don

and squeak they will, all they need is an
application of petroleum to remove the rust
from their back number ideas. Let hood
lums laugh and jser; they know no better.
Let scoffers scotf. since they must fling their
caustic, ill-natured remarks at some one.
Let gossips gossip Whom do their vile
tongues most injure? They or us? Let
chatterers chatter; they say much, but mean
little
Thank heaven, there are some men pos.
sessed of enough common sense to be able
and willing to recognizs lady at all times

true lady, when dressed in bloomer suit
and mounted upon Wheel as when, attired
in evening dress, she is found dpom the, pi-
ane stool in the parlor II she is a lady in
skirts, why is she not the same in bloomers
Would you, who so severely criticse the
girl in bloomers, dare to enter a fashionable
salon in one of our cities and boldly declare
that the society bellies in glittering silks and
satins, with necks, shoulders and arms barred
to the gaze of all beholders, were lacking in
modesty or womanllness? Would you have
the pluck to visit seaside resort, and loud
ly assert that all ladies who appeared upon
the strand in regulation bathing suits, were
not ladies in the fullest sense of the word
| Me thinks, were you to do either one or
the other, that some justly angry and indig-
nant father. brother, husband or lover would
thresh you within an inch of your life. And
richly would you deserve 1t too. Yet, your
statement in either of those cases, would be
equally as just as are your remarks to that
effect, concerning the girl in bloonsers:
OF the men who say we hloonisr girls are
not ladies, let me ask: Are we not as truly
boomer suits, as you are truly gentlemanly
when you stand in front of a saloon, squirt
ing tobacco spit onto the pavemsnt, and
making ill.natured remarks about girls
whom you, in many cases, know nothing
about? Before you criticise the bloomer
girl, look in the glass and see if tlfere is not
bloomer on the end of your own nose! 1t
is fact to be deplored, that in our Gland of

DEATH OF GEO. W. HoucK.

George w. Houck, pioneer of 1856, died
last Thursday afternoon at his home four
miles west of Monroe, in this county. His
death was the result Of kidney trouble,
caused by falling from horse last spring,
since which time his health gradually failed.
He was born, January %, 1880, in Mana
yunk, Pa, and spent his boyhood days in
Seneca, o. His parents were natives of
Germany, and came to America in 1928.
He was fifth of a family of seven children,
and when youth learned the sboemak ker's
trade. In 1852 he came to California via
Panama, and remained there until 1856.
During this time he was engaged i'll mining,
and did fairly Well. When first in Oregon,
he spent some time in the mines, but later
engaged in the mercantile business, both in
Corvallis and Monroe, and so continued un-
til 1884 when he was burned out. In 1884
he was elected county commissioner, serv
ing one term. He was in office at the time
of the building of the present county court
house, and his progressive spirit had much
to do in curing the building of that edi-
flee.
Mr.. Houclz was married July %, 1858, to
Deliab Young. who had crossed the iplains
in lS47, and who survives him. Six chill
dren have been born to them, only three
of whom are living: Jesse j., George A.
and Linn A. A large tract of land lying in
Benton and Lane counties Is evidence of the
business ability of the man who came West
penniless. With his son George he has for
several years been engaged in stockraising
and woolgrowing, and was regarded as one
of Benton county's well-todo farmers. In
politics he was democrat. and in religion
firm believer in the Catholic faith.
His funeral occurred Saturday morning at
the Catholic church, and WIS largely at
tended, many old pioneers and prominent
citizens being present.

A STARTLING ACCIDENT.

A team of horses belonging to r. G. XII.
ger exhibited their running qualities on Sec,
ond street Tuesday morning, indulging in
rather startling runaway. They were at
tached to wood wagon, and were being
driven by boy named Clyde Huffman.
Ona of the horses caught the line under his
tail, when opposite Gardner's photograph
gallery, which started the team. They ran
across to Caskey's blacksmith shop, striking
the sidewalk and throwing young Huffman
about twenty feet in the air. The wagon ran
over him when he fell, but hs was not bad
ly injured. The team contlnued down the
street and struck tree in front of Hemp
hills harness factory, breaking the axle, but
the horses ran on until they encountered Mr..
Simon Kline's horse and phaeton, standing
in front of his store. His little boy was in the
rig, but he jumped out to avoid the collision.
The horse and rig were turned completely
over by the run away team, but with no
more serious injury than broken spring
and shaft One of the runaway horses fell
down in front of Roses cigar store, and the
team stopped. One of the horses was very
badly injured. The street was filled with
teams and the affair could very easily have
been a more serious one.

WORK MAY BE DONE HERB.

Monday a coterie Of prominent raiil
road men visited Corvallis. The party
included A. L. Bower, the successful bid
der at the Oregon Pacific sale last winter;
A. B. Hammond, president of the o. G..
& E., John Clafin, head of the great
New York dry goods establishment of
H. B. Clafin & Co., who is interested
with Messrs. Bonner & Hammond in the
road, and w. H. Crimson, superintendent
of the Montana division of the N. p;
who is an old friend of Mr.. Hammond.
The party arrived by special car from
the front, Monday afternoon, and spent
the evening until ten o'clock in Corvallis
when they left for Yaquina, returning
the next day.
Mr.. Hammond considers it rsther late
to begin work on branch lines this fall,
although he indicated that there was q
strong probability of extending the road
to Independence prairie before winter.
AS result of their visit, Manager
Stone was given instructions to have the
river boats fitted up for immediate use:
The Bentley and Three Sisters require
new hulls and some repairs are necess
sary to be made to the Hoag before che
will be ready for service. These i'm!
provements,.wil cost between S, 600 and
$40, o5o and if given some local encour1
agement, the work will probably be
done here by H. B. Williamson. He is
an experienced mechanic and can do
the work here as cheaply and as satisfac-'
torily as 1t can be done in Portland. In
order to secure the contract it will likely
be necessary for him to give $4,000
bond. This he will probably have no
trouble in giving, but as it will insure the
expenditure at this point of large sum-
of money, Mr.. Williamson ought to re-
ceive some assurance of aid in securing
his bondsmen, should he need it.

Mention was made in these columns two
weeks ago of the arrest, at Yreka, Califor.
mia, of Garland Stemler, on a charge of mur.
der, committed while burglarizing store at
Bailey Hill, California, in company with a
Mexican, named Louis Moreno. Pending
their examination which was TO have oc-
curred last Monday, the pair were placed in
Jail at Yreka, but on Sunday night, With
two other murderers, Stemler and Moreno
were taken from She Jail by a mob of 250
determined men, and hung between two
trees in the court house yard. A press dis
patch of the affair states that the condemned
men were stolid and took their fate without
a murmer, with the exception of young
Stemler, who begged piteously for mercy.
His age is 49, It is said that the scene was
a heartrending one, as young Stemler broke
forth in an agonized appeal. and cried out:
''Tell my dear old mother | am Innocent oil
the crine." The rope broke with Stemler,
making it necessary to string him up a Sec
ond time.

We have had the pleasure Of examin-
ing Hon. @. H. Collins last work, fresh
from the press. tits a topographic gem,
and breathes forth that beauty of die.
ton and sentiment so characteristic of
it's author. Every poem is suggestive of
pleasant scenes and associations familiar
to him whose pen portrays them. The
Oriole, for instance, on page "a, was
suggested by the fact that orioles built
their nests in the branches of some fruit
trees which were cut down to make
room for a new house, in 1875, when
the birds sought other quarters. Before
the advent Of the English sparrow, Hills.
boro was noted for its song birds. To
rise for an early morning walk in the
spring, was to be greeted with innumer.
able songsters. The ugly and useless
sparrow has taken the place of the bros wn
thrush, the wood thrush, the robin, the
cardinal groesbeak, the oriole, the scar.
let tanager and others The cat bird and
the blue jay alone remain. This poem
of the oriole is an illustration that none
of the verses arr purely abstract dr e"'

In MemOrianl.

The death of little Annie, the sweet
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Grant Troutwine,
was tenderly beautiful scene. She
had been faithful attendant upon Sun.
day school, and her little heart was full
Of Gods love. She was conscious to the
last and knew the passing was near
AS the seal of death descended upon
her, her face grew wonderfully bright
and she began repeating her little
prayer, "Now l lay me down to Sleep"
Her poor, feeble voice, choked with
disease, was hardly equal to the task.
Then, with smile, she essayed to sing,
"As cross over the river" While the
tears were falling around her like rain,
her happy soul took its upward flight
Little Annie was only nine years of age,
i,ut her pure, gentle life had won the
hearts of all who knew her, and there
Mas sorrow, deep and genuine, around
that pale little form IN it's casket of
white. None can doubt but her soul is
with him who said, "Suffer the little ones
,ocnne unto me-"
"There ia reaper whose name Is Death,
And with his sick le keen
He gathers tue rlpeued grain at O breath,
Aud the flowers mat grow between"
