Though yesterday was not a record
breaker it was a sizzler. The highest
point reached by the mercury in the
thermometer at the weather bureau
was 80 degrees, but this notch was
reached early in the day and there was
no fall until the sun had sunk very low
in the vest. The main wish of every
one was to get where he could be cool.

were at a premium. AT one time the

chance to secure q suit or rooms at
Cox's Surf houses, Savin Rock, extend

conditions existed at all the bath houses

An Unpleasant Affair.

A disagreeable story concern
ing two of the best known peo-
pie in Corvallis is being indus
triously circulated not only in
this city, but throughout the
state.
Unfortunately for the parties
concerned, accusation is half
proof in such an affair as is now
the chief topic of conversation
on our streets and the story does
not grow less sensational by con-
slant repetition. Most of those
who profess to believe the re-
port, base their belief upon
simple rumer. A GAZETTE re-
porter has interviewed some of
the men that are said to have
discovered the scandal, but they
declined to make a statement for
publication. One of them, how
ever, said he saw something sus-
p1c1ous. He Informed a friend
confldentially of his discovery
and he says rumor has greatly
magnihed it; that he did not see
what he is now reported to have
seen.
In the absence of auy sensi-
Bile proof, this paper would be
inclined to ignore the matter
further, as far as the parties
themselves are personally con-
cerned. But since one of the
parties is the post1nas-
ter of Corvallis and the affair is
said to have occurred at the post
office during business hours, and
since the reports are being SO
generously circulated, public in
terest demands an investigation
of the matter.
The ru1nors charge that Robt.
Johnson, the postmaster, was
discovered on one or more oc-
,asions with young lady in an
improper position by parties
awaiting the distribution of the
nail. The story seems too pre-.

Dying Democracy.
EDITOR GAZETTE

EDITOR GAzETTE:-
It is raining and raining
straight down, and out of the
house l dare not my head poke,
SO, to pass the time more pleas
antly on, to fading democracy I'll
crack little joke The news
from Maryland, my Maryland,
where German men are in such
a fix. That its really difficult to
understand how they will hold
their canvass in 90. The mourn
full and fearful wall of Watterson,
shows democracy is total wreck;
by old Kentucky's whiskey going
republican, the blink-eyed god
dess got it in the neck. They
piled it on in New York and
Iowa, Pennsylvania was unani-
nous; Ohio's nlajorities grew day
by day, and in the west the
avalanche was tremendous. Jersey
and Virginia have them cold.
They got them foul and made a
total scoop. There are only a
few left i'll the fold, and what
there is, lies founderiflg III the
soup. There are only two poor
comforts left them; one is Missis-
sippi where they licked the pops,
the other, Tarnlnany again victor
ious. After this the balm of con-
ISOLATION stops. Every other part
from here to Mexico were licked
so hard their teeth are loose.
They are fattened out, as we all
know, but they'll not give it up
like any other goose. OF the
most sorrowtul things in the uHi-
verse, it's the 1nournfulness of a
democrat. Every day and hour
that passes makes them feel it
worse. They are getting scarce
and don't know where they are
at. Pass the word to Grover,
that they are petered out; and all
that's left for them, is a little
piece of pie, and to pass the few
remaining hunks about, SO they
can have a taste before they die.
This is only just and right, you
know, to give them all a chance;
for he who applies the fiddle bow,
takes pay from those who dance.

COLLEGE NOTES.

Profs. Horner and Fren ch attended the
State Teachers Association at Portland last
week.
Their are about fifteen new students regis
tered at the college, representing probably
ten counties.
On New Years day several of the college
students accepted the invitation to partake
OF plum pudding received by Mr.. Piper
from his grandmother, of Darr, England.
1t was delicious.
The Q. A. G. Glee Club has just been or
ganized. This is something that has not
been attempted by any other Oregon institu-
ton, and should be patronized by all the
friends of the college. Thoy will give re-
cital some time in the near future.
Mr.. Glen Cook, of McMinnville, new
student of the 0. A. c., has probably found
by this time that he does not know as much
of college life as he at first supposed. To
begin his troubles, he was routed out fer
breakfast at 1890 p. M; then he was court
martialed for. being ont of Cauthorn hall
after ten O'Clock p. m.. and sentenced to two
weeks in his room; he then underwent
physical examination to establish his right
to the military drill. Such is life.

in speaking upon the resolution
declared that no industry had re-
ceived such staggering and
deadly legislative blow as that
inflicted upon the wool industry
by the Wilson tariff act. 1t
drained from the United States
within the past year SIS, 900, 900
gold to pay for foreign wool, and
occasioned a loss to the wool
growers Of this country Of more
than SIoo, 900, 900. Unless this
Legislation was changed, the
sheep industry of the Pacific
coast would be annihilated.
Mitchell referred to the condition
of the treasury and the president S
appeal, and added that while pro-
viding at earliest possible mo-
ment legislation which will pro-
duce sufficient revenue to relieve
the administration of its present
embarrassment, the other i'm
portant questions should not be
lost sight of in the performance
of our patriotic response TO the
president and we should SO legis-
late as to relieve from danger OF
destruction some of the great in
dustries stricken down by the
Wilson tariff act. Mitchell said
the tariff bill passed by the house
would probably increase the rev.
enue $40, 900, 900 a year. Amend
ed as it shonld be by afording
wool, lumber, barley, hops and
other agricultural products ade
quate protection, it will give an
additional revenue of 500, 900,
900 and place a paddock upon the
so called "endless chain" by
which gold is drawn from the
treasury, stop all necessity fo1
further issue of bonds and rescue
from impending ruin the WOO
and other agricultural. interests
of this country.

INTRODUCED 8Y MITCHELL.

Among the bills that Senator Mitchell has
1ntrodsced during the present session OF con-
gress are: For payment OF balance unpaid
on Oregon and Washing gton territory Indian
war claims for suppression of Indian hostil-
tiles in 1856, as found due by commission
appointed by secretary of war, consisting OF
General Rufus ingalls,, Capt. a. j. Smith
and Hon. f. l.. Grover, pursuant to an act
of congress. and disallowcd by third auditor
of the treasury, rs per his report Of Febru-
ary Z, 1863; emitting veterans Of Indian
wars to admission to the soldiers homes in
the United States Oh the same terms as vet
erans of the late war OF the rebellion; 10 re-
imburse tho states of California, Oregon and
Nevada for moneys by them expended in
the suppression of the rsbellion; pcnsioning
soldiers who served i'll the CayuSe Indian
war; TO amend 80 act eEtitlcd ian act to
provide for the adjudication and payment of
claims arising from Indian drpredations,"
approved March 3rd, 1891; explanatory of
an act entitled ''an act to settle certalR ac-
counts betwcea th, United States and the
state of hiissis@ipAi and other states,' and
for other purposes; extending the privilege
of bounty land TO persons who served in the
Indian wars OF the United States subsequent
to March 3, 1855. Mr.. Mitchell has also
introduced two resolutions, one authorizing
tho issue OF duplicate rnedals where tho orr
ginals have been lost or destroyed, and tie
other proposing an amendment to the con-
stituton Of the United States, providing for
tho election of Senators bv the votes of the
essaiGed electors OF the state.

posterous and unreasonable for
belief; and those best acquainted
with Mr., Johnson do not accept
the story as being true. They
give him credit for more discre-
ton, if not1 ing else.
Mr.-Johnson emphatically de-
nies any misconduct. He is
greatly worried by the scandal,
as he realizes that many peo-
pie readily accept such reports
on a holnely theory that ''Where
there is so much smoke there
must be some fire." He says
soma circumstances must have
given origin to the rulnor, but he
is unable to call anything to
mind that might start such dis
graceful report. He thinks that
some perfectly innocent action
has been 1nisconstrued and then
1nagnihed by gossip into the
present shameful accusation.
Both he and the young lady are
anxious for a full investigation,
for they, as we'll as their friends,
know that it will result in a COM
plete vindication.
1t wonld seem to be only JUS
tice for people to refrain from
passing Judgment until they are
possessed of proof. As the
matter now stands, most diligent
inquiry has failed to uneartl1
evidence of anything more than
indiscretion at the worst.
