OF The Dads Doing.

At the meeting of the council Monday
claim presented by Smyth, Howard and
Stevenson for $3.50 for extras in the con-
struction OF the Van Buren, street sewer.
It seems that the contract stipulated that
any work additional to that provided for
in the plans and specifications should be
added to the contract price, and where
labor or material was redsced, the
amount was to bededucted. In giving the
length of blocks in the plans numerous
errors we're made and several variations
in the contract price khave been fonnG
necessary, none of them large, however.
An error of 100 feet has been discovered
in one block and the contractors ask for
an allowence OF about $3.50 for additional
pipe used in covering this distance.
OYerseer Shelton claims the err or is
purely clerical one and refuses to o. K.
the bill. The matter was referred to a
committee consisting Of street committee
and Councllmen Avery and Geo Smith.
The matter of extending the time for
completion of the sewer until spring was
also referred to the finance committee.

BOUND OVER.
DR.. ana Mrs. Chapman are Axain Arrested
on Charge Of Bi.amy.

on Charge of Bi.amy.
DR.. and Mrs. Chapman, of Monroe,
who were recently tried on charge OF
bigamy and acquitted, were again
arrested last week and were given pre-
liminary hearing in Justice Waltz's
court at Mouroe Friday and Saturday.
They were charged with the crime OF
polygamy and the witness for the state
was the same as before, the prosecution,
however, having additional evidence in
the shape of letters from Georgia which
tended to establish the relationship
which is alleged to have existed between
DR.. Chapman and the alleged wife in
Georgia. No evidence was offered by
the defence as they prefer to Withhold
their testimony until the case is tried In
the circnit court, if indicted. They were
bound over and Mrs. Chapman's bond
was placed at 5000, and that of the doc
tor at $500. Justice Looney brought the
defendents to Corvallis Monday, but
they were unable to secure bail uHtil
Wednesday, when DIR. Chapman's broth
er, wealthy farmer near Scio, came to
Corvallis in response to telephone mes
sage, aud gave bonds for their appear
ance with T. w. Dilly as surety. Meth
er of the defendants were placed in jail
while waiting for bail to be secured, the
doctor remaining in the keeping of Cap
tain Robertson. and his wife in charge OF
lady near Monroe. The next term of
circuit court meets in April. Some little
speculation is being indulged in as to.the
ability to hold Mrs. Chapman on a
charge of polygamy, as there has been
no effort to prove that she has plurality
OF husbands.

POULTRY EXHIBIT.
Fine Display of Fancy Chickens at the
Local Show.

Fine Display of Fancy Chickens at the
Local Show.
Probably the first, land undoubtedly
the best, poultry exhibit ever made in
Corvallis. was that held last Saturday.
In all about 200 birds were shown and
there were eight exhibitors. Many of
these fowls had won premiums at the
State Poultry Association meet, and
others are prize winners. No effort had
been made to call out grand display and
scarcely any notice was given that a
show was to be held, but the exhibit was
good one and the attendance was large.
These shows have great tendency to-
ward awakening deeper interest in the
management and breeding of domestic
fowls, whose product exceeds in value
many of the apparently important out
puts of the land, and the cause is de-
serving of the support of all business
men and citizens generally.
| Ohe of the finest exhibits was that oil
B. R. Thompson, manager of the Pleas
ant View Poultry Yards. His was the
only exhibit of eggs, the lay of Black
Minorcas, and their great size and beau
tiful whiteuess attracted much attention
His birds were seven months old Cock
erel pullets and Black Minorcas.
Credit is due the Messrs. Hulburt,
who first conceived the idea OF holding
the local show, for their elegant display
Besides those mentioned the following
others had exhibits:
Austin Hulburt-White Wyandottes
and Plymouth Rocks.
Alden s.. Hulburt - Thoroughbred
geese and ducks.
Wallace Hulburt--White Plymouth
| Rocks.
A. A. Hulburt--White Leghorn and
Rose Comb Leghorn.
F. Hulburt-W White Wyandottes and
| Cochins.

Etiquette of Introductions.

1
The Culture Club at Cauthorn Hal
last Friday evening discussed topics
| under "The Etiquette of Introductions. ,
Culture is a twin to Education, and he
who would win position by the latter
must grace it with the former. Famil.
iarity with the following simple rules of
etiquette discussed by the club may
never come amiss.
Interiors are introduced to- superiors;
gentleman to the lady; younger TO the
older. The question of rank docs not
hold good in American society.
Never bow hastily.
The lady bows first.
An American takes his hat off to q
lady; foreigner raises it but slightly.
Introducing should not be indiscrini-
nately done.
No gentlemen should be introduced O
lady without her permission.
At a dinner party the hostess intro
duces to the lady the gentleman who is
to take her to the dining room, but rare
ly makes further introduction.
Great pains should be taken by a host
ess to introduce shy people.
It is well in presenting two strangers
to say something that may break the ice
and make the conversation easy; as
MRS. Brown. allow me to present Mr..
Starr who has just arrived from Manila
Always respond to the greeting in the
keynote of the giver.
One os the duties of the host and host
ess of a private party is to make the
guests acquainted with each other.
Pronounce distinctly the names of
those introduced.
Ease and sslf-possession are essential
to happy introductions.
1ntroductions are often dispensed wit h
at private bsll.
If introduced to an Questionable per-
SON at your friends home, give no sign of
i'll feeling while you are the guest of your
friend.I
As rule the introduction calls for a
slight recognition thereafter.
A gentleman will not let the lack of
an introduction prevent him rendering
services to any unattended lady who
may need them. He will politely offer
his protection, escort or assistance, and,
when the service has been accomplished,
politely bow and retire.

Total

The levy for 1899 will be made in
January next.
1t will be observed that no assessment
is made for the year 1892. In this year
the property was not assessed, as Ben
ton county did not propose to be paying
taxes into the state fund on property
from which she had no assurance of re-
ceiving the taxes in return.
A little matter which may cause COM
plications is the claim which Bonner Is
Hammond, present owners OF the G. &
E., make to property formerly assessed
to the o, D. company. This property
was assessed to Bonner & Hammond last
year. 1t consists of 1900 acres of land
near Summit, and warehouses at Philo-
math, Wren aud Blodgetts.

MONEY IN SIGHT

French & Hufford Give nAuthority to Col
1ect Back Taxes.
The county court has entered into and
signed an agreement with French & Huf-
ford, attorneys of Portland, the terms of
which provide that said attorneys file
and prosecute case in the United States
supreme court for the district of Oregon,
to collect the taxes now due and delin-
quent upon the property of the Oregon
Development company, both real and per-
sonal, situated within Benton county,
said attorneys to prepare, and file all
papers, pleadings, ETC., necessary to pro-
cure decree from said court ordering
the sale of the property SO assessed.
French & Hufford are to receive 20 per
cent. of sum collected, and in case they
fail are not to be compensated. Benton
county is to furnish all necessary trans
script OF the tax rolls and delinquent tax
rolls pertaining to said property and
furnish such necessary certificates Of the
clerk and sheriff as French & Hufford
u1sty U66u pIOpOIS duO W AOfduCC al
fees necessary to pay court costs and
clerks and marshai's fees not to exceed
$25, and if said fees exceed $25 said at
torneys agree to assume same. In case
there are no bidders at sale OF said prop
erty, and it becomes necessary tor Ben
ton county to bid in said property it
shall not be considered that said taxes
have been collected until the county has
received the money for the same. When
the county receives said money French
& Huford shall receive their 20 per cent.
The prospect of these attorneys secur-
ing the delinquent taxes due the county
from the o. d. company is very promis-
ing. They have secured an order of sale
of property of this. company to pay
taxes in Lincoln county and the same is
now being advertised. The sums due
Benton county since 1890 are as follows:

Some tune previous to her death she request ed her mother to have the s0ug Il an Going Home to Die No More' sung at her funeral.
