Called to Her Rewad.

Another name has been added to the
fast increasing roll OF deaths in our little
city during the past few months. At her
home in this city last Monday at : AS
a. M, after an illness of long duration,
Mrs. Emma Nicholas departed this life
for peace and rest beyond.
Some two years ago she became afflicted
with an affection of the right side which
at times caused her intense suffering.
The nature of the disease baf1ed the skill
of all physicians who attended her. Last
August she went to Portland, and for six
weeks was under the care of the leading
physicians of that city. In order to make
a thorough examination, ether was ad-
ministered to the sufferer. When she
recovered from its influence it was found
that the anesthetic had effected her
throat, causing the loss of her voice.
This vas regalned after time, but the
upper glotis aHa tissues were SO swollen
and infamed that breatheng was rem
dered difficult. This became more and
more pronounced and finally resulted in
her death.
Emma Campfield was born in Columbia,
New Jersey, November 81, 1874. Her
father and mother, MIR. and Mrs. VIM.
Campfeld, survive her and reside at
Newark, N. j. At Newark, October 81,
she was united in marriage with Mr.. John
FL. Nicholas. After temporary residence
in various states, they moved to Oregon
in 1883, coming to Corvallis year later.
Mr.. Nicholas died in 1891, but son and
daughter, Ross and Carrie, who have
reached their majority, survive her. Rev.
E. ]. Thompson, d. D., conducted the
funeral services at the Presbyterian
church, Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
in the presence OF large number of
friends of the deceased. She was laid
to rest in Crystal Lake cemetery, by the
side of her husband.
In the death of Mrs. Nicholas, her
children have lost gentle, kind, devoted
mother, and the community at large
cultured refined, Christian lady. Mrs.
Nicholas was woman of splendid intel
lect and exceptional ability. Of gentle
mien and retiring disposition, she did
not hold that prominent place in the
circle of society to which her brilliant
conversational powers and polished man
ners entitled her. Her home was her
world, her family her one dear tie, her
religion her inspiration and light.

Pythian Anniversary.

/ Last Sunday, February 10, 1899, was
the anniversary of that grandest fraternal
organization in existance, Knights OF
/ Pythias, and a special sermon upon the
noble work OF this beautiful order, whose
mission is one of love, was delivered by
DR.. E. J. Thompson at the Presbyterian
church. The Knights attended in a
body, and all were highly pleased with
the eloquent and stirring narration of
the birth and growth of Pythianism that
fell from the lips OF the venerable gentle
man. He likened the self-sacrificing
and holy love OF Damon and Pythias for
each other, to that of David and Jona-
thop, whose souls were knit together,
and marked the boundaries of Pythian
friendship by the devotion "f these two
heroes OF old.
The first lodge OF Knights OF Pythias
was founded in Washington, d. G., Feb
ruary 10, 1864. The meeting was held
in Temperance hall, number of gentle
men having met there for the purpose of
discussing the organization OF a society.
J. Ell. Rathbone was the promoter and
organizer of the order, and to him is due
the credit OF offering to the world one OF
the grandest channels for friendship.
benevolence and charity. The time was
most propitious for such an organization,
vet the surroundings seemed dark and
unpromislng. The nation was in the
throes OF terrible strife; a prophet
could not foretell the outcome; brother
clinched brother in heated discussion, or
worse still sent deadly bullets at his now
flesh and blood through political hatred
and misapprebension, so different from
the lessons OF self-sacrifce taught the
world by Damon and Pythias. Was it
possible to inculcate this spirit OF peace
and brotherly love into the participants
of the struggle? But the very object OF
this order was the bringing about OF
more peaceful era and the welding to-
gether of men of all classes. A place
where men of all religious beliefs could
enter and clasp each others hand with
a spirit of true godliness without interfer-
ing with each other. How we'll this has
been accomplished can be readily ascer-
tanned From the humble little hall in
Washington it has carried the message
of s'peace on earth, good will to men"
into all parts of the North American
continent 1t is strictly American
order Its wonderful growth is the best
guide to the merits OF the order At the
end of the year 1864 there were 3 lodges
and u members; 1866, l lodge and so
members; 1866, 4 lodges and $40 menu
bers; 1867, Al lodges and 6,S47 members; F.;
1868, 1874 lodges and 34,624 members; !;
and at this time over 5000 lodges with
upwards OF 100000 members. 1t is the
most remarkable growth in the annals OF
fraternal orders of that character.
The Oregon branch of the order was
first organized in Portland January 20,
1878, and there are 3,40O Knights in the
state at present.

Albert Rogers Pygall.

| An indomitable will and iron constitu-
ton availed AL Pygall nothing in his
heroic struggle with that dread disease,
pneumonia, which has rayaged so many
homes this winter and added to the cold
white slabs of our cemeteries. Since he
was afflicted some three weeks ago, the
hopes OF his friends have risen with
each rally only to fall again when he
met with relapse. His physicians only
realized the hopelessness of his condition,
and when they announced week before
his death that recovery was impossible,
friends still hoped while there was life.
Friday morning, Feb. 18th, the dread
summons came, and peacefully as SUM
Der he passed away.
Albert Rogers Pygall was born in
Sackets Harbor, n. Y, July 23, 1850.
At an early age he moved to Rosendale,
Wisconsin, and for Is years made this
his home From here he moved to
Nebraska, where he met Miss Hattie
Horton, and in June, 1876, they were
married. They came to Oregon in June,
1877, and took up their home in Cor
wallis, where they have come to be
honored and respected His wife and
son, Herbert. five sisters, Mrs. Emily
Stevens and Miss Helen Pygall. OF the
Bay. Mrs. J. w. Van Buskirk, of Pierce,
Neb., Mrs. E. w. Mum, of Waverly,
Neb., and Mrs. Annie CLARK, of Rosen-
dale, Wis, and brother, John Pygall,
of Pierce, Neb., survive him.
The funeral services occurred Sunday
afternoon at the Baptist church, and in
the absence of the pastor, Rev. Noble,
DIR. f. J. Thompson delivered the
funeral address. The Artisan and Work
man lodges, of which he was member,
and large number of citizens were in
attendance and listened attentively to
the impressive service and last tribute to
the man who had claimed so much
of their friendship and esteem.
At the time of his death Mr.. Pygall
was a member of the city council. His
public record was above reproach, and
his duty as citizen bad been faithfully
performed. His character was firm and
marked, and although his position on
public matters was not always considered
right, no one doubted his sincerity and
he had the confidence of everyone.
Faults he had in common with US all,
but they served by comparison to en-
hance his virtues, and placed in the
crucible of the estimation of his fellows,
he is pronounced an upright, manly man,
strong in his convictions, generous in
his nature, true to his friends, open and
above board with his enemies.
On Lords Day morning at the Method
list Episcopal church there will be service
for those who have joined under the
present pastorate. Out of the $50 who
united, we hope to see good average
present. DIR. 1. D. Driver will probably
make an address. The revival will begin
in the morning.

Last Monday while Mr.. J. B. Irvine
was plowing in his orchard just west of
town, his horse got it's hind foot tangled
in tie traces and while struggling to
free itself, kicked Mr.. Irvine severely on
the thigh. The blow was hard one,
knocking him down and he was unable
to arise. Fortunately the accident hap
pened near the house, and in answer to
his calls lis wife and daughter came to
his assistance and carried him to his
room. He has since been confined to
his bed. and suffers much pain. While
his leg is swollen, no bones are broken
and it is hoped he will soon be about
again.
Governor Geer has appointed Miss
Ida MaXfield to Dread Institute, of
Worcester Mass. Miss Maxfield's home
is near Halsev, but she has been attend-
ing the 0. A. =. She is a graduate of
the Monmouth state normal school, class
of SO, and served three years as assistant
in the Albany public schools. In 1896
she ran for school superintendent of Linn
county, but was defeated, it being a
ruling of the supreme court that no
woman can hold Office in Oregon. The
appointment is for one year and carries
with it provision for tuition and all
necessary expenses. At the conclusion
of her term of study she will be aided in
obtaining position as teacher of do
