The people of this vicinity were

death of Rev Harvey l. Christian at
his home in Florence Kansas, Decem
Der 10, 1900. He had been sick only
week and was thought to be getting
along nicely. The cause of his death
was apendicitus. Harvey Christian
was born at Carlyle, December ID,
1870 and died December Is, 1900, aged
80 years and one day. He grew to
manhood here on the old homestead,
attended the district school, the lola
High school, graduated at Emporia
college and at Princeton, N. j. Theo-
logical Seminary. He was then called
as pastor of the Presbyterian church
at Florence Kansas where he served
until death called him home. He was
married in May 1886 to young lady
of Emporia Kansas. To them one
child was born, daughter, now ten
months old. Besides these he leaves a
mother, three sisters and one
brother and host of friends to
mourn his loss. A telegram was sent
to this place Saturday night inform
ing the relatives of the death OF
Harvey Christian, but as this office
has been discontinued il was sent to
lola and then back here through the
mail Monday reaching his sister
nearly IS hours after his death

it does seem as if the agent at lola
could have found some one to deliver
the message Sunday in time for The
relatives to attend the funeral.

Where Is the Stranger?

A little over two weeks ago there
| was a fellow inthis city who claimed
to be in the employ of the Union
Meat Company, of Portland. He
represented that he was buying
stock for them. On June 9th he
went to the livery stable of Mr.. Nc
Mahon, in this city, and hired a
saddle horse for a day or two, stat
ing that he was going into the coun-
try to buy cattle, He never came
back. Mr.. Mcmahon became un-
easy about his horse finally, but
could get no information of man or
beast. After nearly two weeks had
passed he learned through the
Union Meat Company that his
horse was in Brownsville. A man
went after the horse and brought it
back Saturday. 1t seems that the
imposter had ridden the horse
straight to Brownsville, where he
had stabbed it, telling the livery
man that he desired the best at
tention paid to the care of the ami
NAL. as he had owned it for eight
years and would not haye any
thing happen it for the world. Ao-
oordingly the equine Jared well.
Finally the liveryman at Browns
vile became anxious regarding the
matter, especially as the purported
owner of the horse had disappeared.
Remembering that he had claimed
to be in the employ of the above
mentioned meat company, he wrote
them, and as Mr.. Mcmahon had
previously1 written them, as soon
as they learned of the horse being
in Brownsville, they notified him
and he secured the animal. What
became of the fellow who rode the
horse away from this city is not
known.

From the Wanderers.

A letter was received in this city
not long ago that was written June
4th, in Cork, Ireland, by N. B.
Avery. Jesse Foster is with him.
The letter was addressed to James
Hayes. 1t states that the two wan
derers had a very pleasant trip
across the Atlantic, DR.. Avery not
experiencing any seasickness what
ever, while Mr.. Foster escaped with
a couple of days of wrenching. In
speaking of the inhabitants of Ire
land the letter gives the impression
that all that has been stated in the
past of the impulsive and warm
hearted manners of the Irish race
is true. The letter closes with good
wishes for the general success of
the citizens of Corvallis, etc. Be-
low is an interesting extract from
the letter:
Here I am in old Ireland safe
and sound. Have just returned
from BlarneY Castle, where I kissed
the 'Blarney Stone.' On returning
I will have much to tell of this
country as well as ether places.
We 60 from here to the Lakes OF
Killarney, thence to Dublin, thence
to Belfast; so you will see that we
are taking in Ireland in good shape.
From Belfast we go into Scotland,
thence through England to London.
From there we will proceed to
Paris, where we will be on the 4th
of July"

'We are getting along very

with spears. Every time they

'They also have bolo gang

down street one night, ran over
our outposts, and were all around
us before we could wink an eye,
cutting and slashing. Blood was
running like little rivers. They
had me cornered in the rear for
what seemed to me half an
hour. I got one with my bayo-
net, and hit another over the
head with my krag, and then
ran like the devil for the quar-
tiers. I will bet my life that
there were thousand of them
after me. As rushed into quar-
ters, I stumbled over the body of
a dead niger, and one struck at
me with a bo1o. It was so dark
we did not dare to shoot. inside
of quarters for fear of hitting our
own boys, SO we chased them
out with our .bayonets. After
we got them outside, Lord, how
we did pour it into them. We
all had our krags full and did
not have to take aim, for they all
ran together in a gang and stood
until we shot nearly all of them
III their tracks. They wouldn't
run an inch for US. In the morn
ing over hundred of them lay
dead.'

pupils. for the present collegiate
year will verify.
In 1885 the legislature passed
a law permanently locating the
State Agricultural College al
Corvallis on the condition that
the citizens of this county should
cause to be erected on the college
farm a college building to cost
not less than $2o,o 900. Soon
after the passage of said act, a
citizens meeting was held in
Corvallis, and committee OF
nine was appointed to take charge
of the whole matter and to be
known as the ''building COM
1nittee." That committee was
composed of the following nam
ed persons to-wit: M. Jacobs,
j. R. Bryson, J. B. Lee, F. A.
Horning, Puudersen Avery, M.
S. Woodcock, Zephin Job, B. l..
Arnold and John Burnett. They
were to procure subscriptions to
the amount of $40, 900 or more,
employ architects, brick makers,
brick masons, carpenters and
painters, obtain materials, make
contracts and see that all was
paid for; in a word undertake a
task that proved to be one of
great difficulty and one that CAME
very near failing, bat knowing
that upon the proper perform
ance of that task depended the
securing of the college, they
went to work with an energy and
zeal commensurate with the task
laid upon them by the citizens
of this county; and for year
they devoted a large portion of
their time and their best efforts
to make a success of the under
taking, and that without a cent
of remuneration, some of the
members making three or four
trips to Salem and Portland to
consult architects and contract
ors and paying their own ex-
penses. At one time it looked
as though Corvallis would GER
tainly lose the college. After
the whole county had been can
vassed and some had doubled
their subscriptions, (some of
whom were the least able toy the
committee was $1,000 short of
sufficient funds to commence
work, when the joyful word was
telegraphed to Zeph Job by Col.
Hogg to place his name on the
subscription list for one thousand
dollars and draw on him for the
amount. If that subscription
list should be published now it
would show who the true friends
to the college and Corvallis were
in time of need.
The history of the conflict be-
tween the South Methodist
church and the state for the con-
troll of the agricultural college is
partly written in the records Of
the courts, but many things oc-
Cured during that five years
