The comic opera s:Mikado" will
be given by local talent for the
benefit of the o. A. 9. football
team. The chorus had its first
practice Monday night and the re-
hearsal was highly satisfactory,
The solo parts will be in good
hands. The opera will probably
be given Thanksgiving day.
Owing to the absence of the
pastor, A. A. Englebart, in Port

bath. There will be Sunday
school as usual, however, at 2 p
IN. Mr.. Englebart will return

as usual each Sabbath thereaf-
| ter.
The Degree of Honor ladies
held their regular meeting Tues
day evening, and after disposing
of the regular order of business,
with their invited guests they en-
joyed a watermelon social. A
pleasant hour was spent with va
rIous games, Mrs. Asa Alexander
winning first prize and Mrs. 6. F.
Cecil, the BOBBY.
Yesterday evening the GAZETTE
wot kers had more than their
daily bread. They filled up On
cake, and the most delicious of
cake. 1t came with the compll-
ments of Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman
Wade, and the boys vow that
the popularity OF the young
couple is in every way deserved.
The o. G. & E. r. r. Go. has
announced the followinS round
trip rates to Albany next Wednes-
day on the excursion train: From
Corvallis 25 cents; from Philo-
math, so cents. Ben Butter
worth, the famous Ohio Congress
man, will speak at Albany on
that day and these low rates will
enable Benton county people to
hear him.
The Congregational church SER
vices will be conducted by Pastor
Zercher next Sunday morning and
evening. The subject for the
morning will be '.The Limit OF
Mans Atiainments. In the even
ing there will be given the first OF
a series on "Beginnings in the
Christian Life" subject, "The
Awakening of the Human Soul"
Choir and orchestra will lead the
service Of praise.
Politics are lively in Linn coun-
ty. The republicans had big
meeting at Lebanon Wednesday.
and Bryanites attempted to break
it up. A fight ensued and thirty
men were scrapping at one time.
A train, carrying a number of Al
bany Mckinley men, was stoned
as it left the Lebanon depot. Re-
spectacle citizens of both parties
denounces the outrage.
Indian summer is whisker
grower. Ones beard and hair de-
velops fast in the lazy, delightful,
pleasant air. This is the fly In
the ointment, for it means shaves
and haircuts, and shaving is not
always a pleasure. Some people
regard shaving, indeed, as they do
tooth pulling-but these have not
visited Spencer. Spencer's pat.
rons greet shaving time with pos
tive delight.
Treasurer Buchanan has issued
another call for county warrants
issued prlor to May 18th, 1892.
This will disburse about $4,000
among warrant holders. There
is but little demand now for coun-
ty paper, and original holders find
it difficult to dispose of their war
rants without making a heavy
discount. Republican success
in November, however, according
10 business men, will result in a
renewed demand for the war
rants.
|. d. Burgh received letter
from friend living in Rock Is
land, ILL.,, which relates that when
Bryan went through that town.
the popocrats raised a large flag
which was supposed to bear the
words in bold letters, 's16 to L."
A republican painter, however,
found access to the flag the night
before and added two words. The
flag was raised as the Bryan train
approached and then everybody
rushed to catch a glimpse of the
repudiationist. Bryan emerged
from the car, tuned his voice and
began, "Fellow citizens, as | gaze
upon that glorious flag upon whose
folds appear those potent
words" He got no further.
The flag Strengthened out and the
multitude read, "16 to 1 for Nc
Kinney"
