The marriage of Major F. E.
Edwards and Miss Helen Elgin,
was solemnized at the residence
of the BRIDES parents, by Rev.
G. S. O. Hurnbert, Saturday
evening, September 2oth, at 8
O'Clock. Only relatives and i'm
mediate friends of the family
witnessed the pretty ceremony of
the Christian church which
made the young couple man and
wife. The bride is the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Elgin. She is quite prominent
in church circles and is a very
estirnable young lady. Major
Edwards is a graduate of the
Agricultural College and is conf
mandant OF the cadet battalion
of that institution. At the open
ing of the Spanish war he en-
listed in the Second Oregon Vol
unteers and served as sergeant in
the Spanish and Philippine CAM
paign with that regiment. At
the battle of Malabon he was se-
verely wounded, but remained
with his regiment until it re-
turned as body. Last spring
he was appointed On General
Beebe's staff with the rank of
major.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards have
taken up their residence in the
cottage formerly occupied by
Rev. Stephens, near the Chris
tian church.

Vidito Made Money.

Willis Vidito, of Alsea, who
joined the Nome pilgrimage last
spring is home again, and was
i'll Corvallis yesterday. Mon
days Oregonian contains the
following concerning him:
Willis Vldito, Benton coun-
ty farmer, who went to Nome
with patty of six last May, was
at the st. Charles, yesterday, Oh
his return. He fattered himself
that he was getting back with
more money than he started with,
although he by no means made
his fortune up there.
He left Nome on the Ohio,
September 20, with over 400
passengers, who, like himself,
were glad to turn their faces
homeward again, and he thought
there were fully 1000 penniless
men in the streets of the beach
town who would have to be
helped if they come away this
fall. These men, Mr.. Visite
characterizes as "tenderfeet, F."
who went up there expecting to
find nuggets on the beach, and
would then have protested be-
cause they had not been coined
into $40 pieces. He thinks the
whole country is mineralized as
far back as the Sawtooth range
of mountains, and looks for good
strikes there mex year.
Mr.. Vidito has a farm in the
Alsea valley to come back to,
and he expresses himself as we'll
pleased at the prospect of a COM
Portable home in Oregon, while
so many men may be obliged to
remain on the stormy beach dur
ing the eight months of winter.
The rest of his party preceded
him on their way home.

Joseph Notes a Change.

Joe Yates, of Orleans precinct,
a staunch old wheel horse o.
republicaAism, came to Albany
on Friday, the 28th inst, and
before lie left town perpetrated
a rattling good joke on the in
cumbents of the sheriff office at
! the court house, says the Herald.
He went into the sherifPs Office
aud told the deputy, Munkers,
that he wanted to pay the tax OF
William II. Pursley and in
quired the amount. Deputy
Munkers looked at the books and
told Yates the amount was
$I4.5o. every well,' sad
Yates, "you write me receipt
for the amount and l will give
you a check on the First National
Bank of Corvallis for the
amount. - After little deliber-
alton, the sheriff or deputy, it
matters not whics, told him
they could not do it a-d refused
his offer. "Wel1," said Yates,
I will go down town and see if
l can raise the money! So he
came to Cusick's bank, got the
mo-ey, went back to the sherif's S
office, p1unked down the cash
and called for a receipt. While
the deputy was making out the
receipt Yates said, quite a num-
Der of men being present, Cen
tle1nen, do you want to know
why I have no money with 1ne?"
They sign1ied assent, and Yates
said "that it was whispered
round that old Mark Hanna had
hired agents all through the
country to rob men and 1t wasn't
safe to- carry money" Deputy
Munkers pricked up his ears,
aud looking at Yates, who all
this time he failed to recognize,
said, "How about Roosevs1t?"
Yates responded, ''Ie belongs
to the same gang and is old Bill
McKinley's running mate. F"
Folding up the receipt, he placed
it in his pocket, at she same
time reu1arking that Gin 'o2 and
'e3 you could buy sheep at $1.6o
per head, 3-year-old steers for
$50 and $40 AMI if his wife
wanted a wool mattress, she
could buy wool for s and 10
cents, but now," said he, ''you
have got to pay 81 and IS for
sheep, 500 for 3-year-old steers,
SIS to S125 for horses, and if
his wife wanted a wool mattress,
she must pay from IS to 20 cents
for WOOL" and said Joe, squint-
ing his left eye, cit is about time
to go back to the good old times
of 'o2 and 'o3. Good evening,
gentlemen" The. best part of
the joke was the refusal to take
a check on the First National
Bank of Corvallis from Yates for
Pursley's tax for 1899

~ AZ eAio Wv ASSSANSN
letter from Brady Burnett few
days ago. Brady is still pretty
well satisfied with his situation in
the census department at Washing
ton, D. C. At the time of writing
he stated that the weather at the
national capital was all that could
be desired. There are many "big
bugs" in Washington, but Brady
states that they are pretty we'll
hidden.
Many mans conscience must
smite him at odd times, on account
of the various prevarications he
has resorted to in order to keep
peace in the family. The West
Side furnishes the following item
along this line: This lis a queer
world and there are some queer
people in it. We heard a fellow
lament one day last week that he
had lost his pocket book with some
eighty hop tickets, representing the
work of himself, wife and family up
to date. AS the same individual
had been seen earlier in the week
hanging around some Of the gamb-
ling devices that follow the CROWD
it is safe to presume that he "blew
in" all his hop tickets and invented
the other story to pacify bic wife.

. Night in Chinatown.

n NJ Az
Bert Stanley's new scenic produc-
ton, "a Night in Chinatown" Is
claimed to furnish cumulative evidence
of the great possibilities of this
try in the dramatic art 1t Is said to
be a vivid story of city life naturally
and effectively told and heightened by
striking stage effects and beautiful
scenery. The scenes are laid in the
city of San Francisco, and afford I'M
usual opportunities to the scenic ar
fist. The midnight view of Chinese
Dupont street in particular Is reported
as being a veritable triumph OF stage
mechanism, and the Oriental opium
joint, the myriad of sensational bits
of realism recently employed in melo-
drama none hardly equals for startling
effectiveness an incident in this scene.
But in addition to its many startling
situations "a Night in Chinatown" Is
said to be a thoroughly human and
natural play, with a bright and crisp
dialogue and cleverly drawn charac-
tiers. 1t teens with quaint comedy
and holds the interest of the specta-
tor from beginning to end. At the
Grand last half of this week.

A Suspicious Case.

Special to- the Register.
RIPLEY, W. Va, February Unreliable
information has reached here that a young
man named Kiser is at the home of Jacob
Kiser in the villa ge of Kentuck, fifteen
miles south of this place, suffering from
what is supposed to be smallpox.
He came there about a week ago, and in
a few days took sick, and as he did not
give a very good account Of himself, tell
ing two or three conflicting stories as to
his whereabouts and from the nature of
his disease he is suspected of being from
the smallpox infected district of Lewis or
Gilmer counties, and Is supposed to have
been exposed TO smallpox there.
If this proves to be smallpox the south
end Of our county will be in a serious sit
uation, as quite a numbe of people have
been to see this man, having no intimation
of the nature of the affection. It is hoped
it is not the dread disease, as there has
been but one case Gan isolated one) in the
county for more than ten years.

tbs not every one who travels over the
Albany road leading west from Green
wood Ne, that is aware of the immense
fortune buried near the roadside, about
two miles from that place-S1O0 600 in gold
within a stones throw.
Here is the story. in the early part Of
this century there lived a professional
gambler named Patch. who. after wan
dering all over the face of the earth,
finally settled down in Greenwood on
what is now known as the Patch home
stead.
With q large accumulation of ready

him"
Patch died suddenly. In his will he left
to his son George all treasures hidden in
the ground. 1t stated in the viii that
should any one else save the legal heirs
try to get the fortune he (Patch) would
appear in the form of sore animal and
drive him away. George never found his
fathers money and at his death willed
everything to his son Frank.
Frank Patch lives on the same old farm
that his grandfather bought, nut has
never been able to find the treasure.
Not only have the legal heirs tried to
find it, but other persons have hunted

animal only a year ago. Mr.. RversOn

was well until one of the most terrible
looking animals imaginable appeared. We
found a rock which was cut out of
