Mr.. Ed. Kimble has about perfected
arrangements whereby he will sooa assume
charge of the Alsea mill. It is his intention
to put in half-roller process at present,
and he expects to have the mill in running

Mr.. Kimble abundant success In this new
venture.
And still the deputy salary battle RACES.
We are of the candid opinion that the court
made mistake when it cut the salaries
down. As to the desire of the petitioners it
is safe to say at least one half of those who
signed the petition did SO without any un.
derstanding in regard to the matter. There
was petition circulated In this precinct,
which was signed by every man it was pre-.
sented to, save one. Had it been circulated
over the entire valley at that time, four
ffths of the voters of the valley would have
signed it. But after the subject was airee
through the columns of the GAZETTE ane
Times, the circulator concluded he did no
care to send his autograph in on such peti
tion, and judging others who had signed i
by himself. the petition was not sent in
This gave entire satisfaction to every signe
of the petition who is a reader of the above
named papers, but those who do not reat
the county papers, and. therefore, have lit
tie knowledge Of county affairs, thought
great in Justice had been done, because tn
petition was not sent in. We earnestly be
lieve that Is per cent of those whose names
are now On file with the county court OF
said petition are sorry their names are there
Many of ths remaining 25 per cent will b
ON hand at the conventions next spring
ready to sacrifice their own interests, jus
to show the people they can do the work il
the different Offices without asking for c'er
ioal aid from the county. But Bento
county is not looking for cheap men now
and we hope it never will.

DEATH OF N. p. TAYLOR.

Tuesday afternoon, after months of pain
and patient suffering NJ. P. Taylor breathed
his last. The story of his trouble is too well
known to need repetition. Several months
ago he began suffering from the effects of
tumor In his stomach. Later he went to
Portland, where an operation was performed
at which time some 40 inches of his intestine
was removed. This, the physicians thought
would result in a permanent cure; but it did
not. He, however, was able to be around,
and since the accident to his son, about a
week ago, which rendered them unable to
work, Mr.. Taylor had delivered milk about
town, taking his sons place. In getting in
and out of the wagon he received a sudden
jar, which it is thought, wrenched apsrt the
partially healed iutesSinss, causing his death
after several hours of intense suffering.
Mathew P. Taylor was born in Milroy,
Pa, and the 18th of next month he would
have been 80 years of age. In November
1868, he was united in marriage, and was
the father of seven children, three of whom
survive him. OF the deceased it can be
truthfully said he had mol enemies. He
was industrious, attentive to business and
was regarded by all as man of the highest
honor and integrity. From boyhood. Mr..
Taylor had been a Presbyterian and during
his residence here was prominently identi-
fled with that organization in this city.
Owing to the absence his pastor. DIR.
Thompson, the funeral services were con-
Quoted jointly by Revs. Gould and Zsrcher.
The services and ipterment which occurred
at Peoria in Linn county, were under the
auspices of the Woodmen of which order the
deceased was a member in good standing.

SUNDAY SERVICES.

Despite the inclemsnt weather the sps.
cious Presbyterian church was well filed
last Sunday by those who had come TO lis
ten to the memorial services. In eompli-
ance with custom that has been observed
here for many years, the local churches,
with two exceptions, Joined in the services,
thus affording the Congregations of the sew
eral denominations an opportunity of paying
their respects to the natisn's dead. The
interior of the church had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion with flowers,
flags, bunting and evergreens. whils about
the walls were displayed notices in memory
of the unknown dead. Promptly at IL
o'clock members of Ellsworth Post, e. A.
R., Ellsworth w. r. c. and BENZ. Harrison
Camp. Sons of Veterans marched into the
building in body .and occupied the front
rows of seats, which had been reserved for
them. Splendid music of an appropriate
character was rendered by large choir of
singers selected from the various churches,
under the leadershipof Mrs. F. NJ. johnson.
The different pastors Of the city assisted
with the services. the sernaoa being preached
by Rev. Hiram Gould of the Methodist
church. His remarks were exceedingly
impressive and patriotic. Being himself an
old soldier, he wes very familiar with the
story of the war as we'll as with the history
of many of its leaders. On returning from
the war there were fears entertained by
,,,,y tb,k tba old sold,ors Unuld NOT ho
likely to throw off their uniforms ani don
the habilameAts Of citizens But these fears
were groundless, for the soldier boys were
soon found engaged in the various occupa-
tions of the land, and many of them have
since attained to the most prominent posi-
tions of honor and trust within the gift of
the people. The great majority of that
grand and noble army have been men; few
have lost their manhood and fallen. Per-
haps this was true of no other nation.
While we should rejoice at this, the speaker
thought we should drop tear for the absent
ones. He told an interesting story Of a 4th
of July celebration in Libby prison; of a
flag made of old shirts, and of it's being
ordered down by rebel officer in charge of
the prison, but the boys from the north had
never learned this order and the officer was
compelled to cut "Oid Glory" down himself.
The speaker paid glowing tribute to Grant.
telling of his life from the time he left the
service after the Mexican war, up to his
promotion to commander of all the union
armies. Lincoln was characterized as the
greatest man the world ever produced. In
cidsnts of his life were recited showing the
obstacles which he overcame and how, after
his election TO the presidency, he took the
reins of government and saved the nation,
which at the time of his Inauguration was
fast crumbling to pieces. The services were
concluded by singing ''America," in which
the entire congregation joined.

LECTURES IN PORTLAND AND IN
EUGENE.

1t is announced through the press of the
state that DIR. E. B. McElroy, of the State
University, has recently been engaged to
deliver several lectures, among which are
the annual address before the Portland
High School and the memorial address at
Eugene. DR.. MeElroy hail. from Corvallis,
and the GAZETTE is proud of it. Eight
years he was superintendent of the Benton
county schools; and then he accepted the
state superintendency, in which position be
has during twelve years of faithful, wise,
and efficient service, distinguished himself.
No other man has held the position SO long;
and NO other school system has made so
rapid advancement, during that time, as
ours. We have elegant sdifices, lines Of
steamers and trains of cars, manufactures,
productive farms and rich mines. great
newspapers and wonderful industrial inter
ests, which all enjoy; but the ono great
thing that appeals to all alike-the frugal
and the parsimonious-as the pride of our
state and marvel Of perfection, is our
school system. It is the work of time,
money anu DTalns; DH6 tne one WHO mas nao
most to do with advancing it to its present
high standing is he whom the future gensr-
atoms will delight to honor as the man who
for twelve long years, put his life and ener-
gies and individuality into our schools, and
earned for them recognition hitherto
unknown. Men have lived In high estate,
have served their constituents, have made
| for themselves name which was afterward
hewn in wood or carved in stone, and yei
they have been forgotten, save in history
but, through the indefatigable energies oi
the man who, during the past twelve years,
has given movement to the great tidal wave
of education in our state, lasting influence
will 60 down to bless the ages and add lus
tire to the names of those who have aided ir
this grand work. So, all honor to our fell
low townsman whose unrivaled successes
have led many to believe that he would ado
grace and dignity and efficiency to a posi-
tion SO high as that of United States com
missioner of education.

Last Monday the Ciceronian
and Websterian societies met fef
their last time this year. Lit
erary work has been suspended
to allow every one more time to
prepare for commencement
Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock, June 1st, the tennis
club will hold a ''try out'' on its
court for the purpose Of deciding
who is to go to Salem to play
June 9Th. Considerable interest
is being taken in this work just
now and those who care to come
! out will probably see some good
games. The players are little
doubtful about winning at Sa-
lem, but are going to do their
best and make their opponenents
know they have been in tennis
game.
The competitive drill took
place last Monday afternoon, as
was announced. The threaten
ing weather kept many from
coming out to witness the con-
test, but quite a number were on
the campus when the battalion
came out and the interest was
intense. Of course everybody
especially the young ladies
had preference, and none but
their company could win. A
company was expected by many
to win easily, while It was no.
tioeable that B company was ia
vored by more young ladies. c
company was thought of but lit
tie; they were not supposed to
be stin it' at all. They had but
few supporters and hardly any
female voices to cheer for them.
Judge then, the surprise Of all
when the following report of the
judges was read: Points won
by A company, 50; by B COM
pany, "a; by c company, 86.
c company had won the colors.
Astonishing as it might seem, it
was a fact and there were the
figures. A gloom at once set
tied over companies A and B and
the young ladies, while old c,
with its few supporters, became
hilarious in the extreme. They
have reason to be especially
proud of their victory, for out
of the entire company, only one
man, besides the officers, was
ever drilled until this year.
Their success is due to the un-
tiring efforts of Capt. Chandler,
who has worked hard to bring
his company up to the mark, be-
sides he handled his men dur
ing the contest in such a way as
to get in 28 movements to AS
~ and BIS "a. They were all
lowed IS minutes to drill and to
receive 3 points for each differ
ent movement perfectly executed
and IS points for the manual of
arms. A company went through
as many movements as the 9TH
ers, and had they been allowed a
grade for each one the result
might have been different, but
they repeated almost everything,
SO that it only left them II differ
ent movements. Capt. Buxton
did not understand this and
thought he was getting credit for
each manoeuver. The judges
were: Capt. Burgh, Pres. Bloss
and Prof. Letcher. The men,
bers of the winning company re-
allied at once that the victory
was due to the generalship of
their captain and have adopted
the following yell: Zip, boom,
bee! Zip, boom, bee! Cham
d1er, Chandler, Company G.!

PARTING.
(By Col. VIM. 81. Taylor.y

Thy Col. Wm. ID. Iaylor.p
i kissed you! Your head
Dropped low on my breast
With feeling of shelter
And infinite rest;
While the holy emotions
My tongue dared not speak
Flashed mp in . fame
From my heart to my cheek.
My arms held you fast;
Oh, my arms were 30 bold,
Heart beat sg inst heart
In their passionate fold.
Your glances seemed drawing
My soul through my eyes
As the sun draws the mist
From the seas to the skies.
Your lips clung to mine
Till prayed, in my bliss,
They might never unclasp
From that rapturous kiss.
You kissed mel. My heart,
And my breath, and my will,
In delirious joy,
For moment stood still.
Life had FOR me then
No temptations, no charms,
No visions of happiness
Outside of your arms.
And were this instant
An angel possessed
OF the peace and this Joy
That are given the blest,
would fling my white robes
Uarepiningly down.
would tear from my forehead
It's beautiful crown
To have you nestle once more
In that haven of rest
Your lips upon mine,
Your head on my breast.
You kissed me! My soul,
In q bliss SO divine,
Reeled like drunken man
Foolish with wine;
And I thought 'twere delicious
To die there, if death
Would but come while my lips
Were yet moist with your breath;
If l might grow cold
While my arms c,asped you round
In their passionate fold
And thess are the questions
ask day and night:
Must lips taste no more
Such exquisite delight
Would you care If my breast
Were your shelter as then,
And if you were here,
Would you kiss me again?

Hon. John Mimic, of the state board of
horticulture, was in town Tuesday. He is
inspector for the second horticultural dis
trict, which comprises Marion, Polk, Linn,
Lane, Lincoln and Benton counties. He
says the new law has already repaid the
state for the appropriation made last winter
by the creation of increased attention to
orchards. People generally are giving more
care and attention to their trees this year
than ever before. With the exception of
the eastern portloa of Marion county.
where the apples have been injured by tent
caterpillars, there is every indication of an
abundant crop of all varieties of fruit in
Mr.. Minto's district He finds the trees in
this section in splendid order and in general
the orchards are receiving excellent care.
