A GRAND SUCCESS.

A UkAND SUUCESS.
The Celebration In This City was tn.
Best. In Its History.
The citizens of Corvallis have
reason to congratulate themselves
OH the splendid work accom-
pffshed by the Fourth of July
committee recently appointed by
them to take charge of the cele-
bration. No similar undertak-
ling in this city has ever resulted
more successfully and this was
the first two-days' program ever
given here. The showers of
Wednesday kept the flames of
patriotism from bursting into a
blaze, but the spark was burning
brightly and all the exercises
were entered int with enthus-
iasm.
Crowds began pouring into the
city early the morning of the
third, and their number was
largely augmented by excursion
lists on the Fourth. The threat
ening weather of the morning,
however, kept away people from
the country who would have
otherwise attended.
Tuesdays program was opened
with a concert by the Dusty
band. This is really excellent
organization and would do credit
to any town the size of Corval-
lis. Their playing here was
highly enjoyed and received
many complements.
The game of ball between Nc
Minnville and Corvallis teams;
resulted in a victory for the latter
by score of 7 to II. After the
first inning the game was hotly
contested and was beautiful ex-
hibition.
THE HORSE RACES.
An ideal day for racing was
the verdict of horsemen Tues
day, and it certainly was an
ideal day from the spectators
standpoint. While the sun shone
warm aud bright, the weather
was not sultry. It is estimated
that 5000 witnessed the contests
which were held at Kiger's park.
No mishaps occurred and gen
eral satisfaction was expressed at
the manner in which the various
events were conducted. The re-
suits Of the contest were as fol-
lows:
For buggy horses, best two in
three, pace or trot, prizes SIS
$40, won by. Roy Richards
Babe; time, 2:55 and 2:53.
Two-year-olds, best two in
three, pace or trot, prizes $251
and $40, won by Bogue's Dewey;
time, 3:23 and 3:25.
Free for all, two in three, pace
or trot, prizes $40 and $40, won
by Belknap's Alteno; no time.
Quarter mile dash for saddle
horses, prizes $40 and IS, won
by Ingrove's Flora G; time a54
Half mile dash, free for all,
prizes $25 and $40, won by A
R Rebinson's independence
Maid; time, 81 seconds.
IN THE EVENING.
Another concert by the band
IN the evening preceded the perl
forrnance of ''What Happened to
Jones', ~ by the local theatrical
company at the opera House.
Cor Wallis people have learned
to expect delightful entertain
ment from this company, but
these from abroad had to learn
that Corvallis has some anna
teurs that, so far as talent and
skill are concerned, are really
professionals. The Opera House
was crowded from stage to doors,
and many were turned away.
So admirably was the delightful
comedy presented that the audi.

New Train Service.

The new train service on the Corvallis
& Eastern should prove satisfactory to
the citizens of Corvallis. The train now
leaves Corvallis daily except Sunday at
6 a. m. and returning leaves Albany at
7:20 p. m, arriving in Corvallis at 8 8:05.
It connects both ways with the Portland
local at Albany, permitting the round
trip to be made in day giving six hours
in Portland.

plause. Special scenery hae
been provided and the stage
setting was the finest ever seer
in this city. The music by Cor.
wallis orchestra was excellent anc
put the last finishing touch or
as fine an entertainment as a
city of this size often sees. The
gross receipts were $I53.
THE FOURTH.
Independence day was ushered
in by grand salute at sunrise.
The small boy and the fire
cracker were astir early and the
din continued through the day
and far into the night.
A game of ball between Leb.
anon and Corvallis, was won by
the latter, the final score being
20 toa. This occupied the time
until the parade which moved at
1890. This was one Of the fea-
lures of the day.. and what it
lacked in size it made up in at
tractiveness. The floats were
unique and appropriate and the
special features were. most inter-
esting. Owing to the inclen-
ency of the weather, the literary
exercises were held in the opera
honse. The declaration of Inde-
pendence was clearly and forcibly
read by Miss LauIa Thernas, of
Jefferson. The oration by Judge
L. R. Webster, Of Portland, was
eloquent and ably delivered.
The Albany band played several
selections. This is undoubtedly
the best organization of the kind
which that city has had in years.
ATHLETIC CONTESTS.
Promptly at I:3o the aftsrnoon
program began. The boat raseH
from the o. R. N. dock to Fisch-
er's fai1l and return was contest
ed by four boats. Zeis and
Horning succeeded in landing
first money, while Strong and
Gerber took second place.
The Highland Brigade ap-
peared at o'clock, upon the
platform which had been pre-
pared for them near the Occi-
dental. At intervals during the
afternoon and evehfng they en-
tertained the crowd with the
graceful and pleasing dances of
the Scotch Highlands. Their
work was one OF the most popular
features of the celebration.
; The five mile bicycle race was
won by Harry Miller, with Fred
Fischer a close second. Time,
10 minutes.
Foot race, one-fourth mile
won by Woods; Moore, second.
Bicycle race, one-fourth mile, |

BY Corvallis, Lebanon, second.
Time 1o seconds.

Corvallis; Maccabees, second.
Time, 29A.
CONCERT AND DANCE.
A grand concert of national
hrs was given in the evening by /
he Albany, Dusty and Corvallis
oands. The Highland Brigade
introduced number of new and
original dances.
The exercises ceneluded with
/ grand ball at the Opera House.
The music was furnished by the |
Corvallis orchestra and the at
enhance is said to have been the |
argest of any at any ball here in |
en- years. A splendid time is
eported.

A Sad Death.

One of the saddest events we have
ever been called upon to chronicle, oc-
cured at Clinton S. C. last Saturday,
and it only goes to show how uncertain
life is. On the 20th day of March this
year, a bright and happy young man
from the town of Clinton came to Alco-
lu to claim the hand of his intended
bride, and the next day at theresidence
of Mr.. J. J. Nettles, Rev. James Nc
Dowell performed the marriage SER
vice for Job T. Boozer and Miss
Alys Cole. The bride was a graduate
Of the Thornwell Orphanage, and after
the couple were made man and wife
they left for Clinton to fight LIES battle
together.
Letters to friends came back convey
ing the happiness of the orphan-bride
in her new home, with her hus-
band-protector, when all at once, the
hand of afiiction was laid heavily upon
the groom, pneumonia caught him in
its grasp, and before the honeymoon
was over, death came and robbed the
young bride of her Joy. This is indeed
a sad case; here was a girl left an or
phan when young, and after being
reared by the hand of benevolence, and
reaching woman-hood, she marries and
is so suddenly brought under the chas-
tening rod.

The store of the Mcleod Wilkins
King Company is being put in an up
to-date condition, and if there is any
virtue in hustling, this concern pro-
poses to make things hum. They have
the capital by which to do business and
they have the experience as buyers,
very essential features to do compet-
ing business. In this progressive day,
in order to make money large quanti-
ties must be sold, and to sell in large
quantities it takes large capital. Nc
Leod-Wilkins-King Co. can command a
large amount of cash which give them
a decided advantage over the small
dealer. We expect the people to be
greatly benefited by this competition,
both in price and quality.

Second Attempt at Suicide.

Sumter April 13.-Miss Matte Bry
ant, OF Clarendon county, who attempt
ed to commit suicide at Manning few
months ago, came to this city on Wed
nesday and that night again made ar
unsuccessful effort to kill herself.
On the first occasion she drank two
ounces of iaudanum, but she was saved
by prompt medical attention. This
time she took FIVE grains of morphine
and that she is alive is due to the fact
that she took an overdose, which nau
seated her and caused vomiting. She
was quite sick at the Jervey House
where she was staying all of Wednes
day night aud yesterday, but today is
said to be out of danger.
AS soon as it became known that she
was i'll doctor was called, and since
then she has been constantly watched
to prevent a repetition of the attempt a.
self-destruction. She is only Is or q
years old.

About 4 O'Clock last Saturday morn
ing the barn and stables of Mrs. S. +.
Sprott near Jordan was discovered on
fire. and TOO late to save anything at
all. When the fire was discovered the
buildings were so far consumed within
that they were ready to collapse, and
the horses and mules were already
dead. There was no insurance on this
property and the loss is severe, about
$500 There were destroyed four
head of mules, four head of horses, a
large quantity of grain and forage,
20 tons of fertilizer, reaper and mower
and other things. The origin OF the
fire is unknown, and it is suspected
that it might be the work OF an incen
diary, from the fact that the fire had
the appearance Of having started from
the rear. If it was an incendiary fire,
we hope steps will be taken at once to
discover the fend. who would thus go,
under the cover of night and destroy
the property of widow.

Alcolu was thrown into a fever of

.Alcolu was thrown into fever OF
excitement last Friday, by the shooting
of negro. The circumstances are,
that on last Friday, Mr.. J. r. Rose
had charge Of Alderman's train, and
a negro by the name of Walter Lowrey
gave Mr.. Rose some impudence. Rose
ordered him off the train at DuRant's
crossing, but Lowrey refused to 60.
There was a lady on the engine, and
the negro became very offensive in his
language: When they reached Alcolu
Lowrey attempted to shoot Mr.. Rose,
and did fire at him. Rose drew pistol
and shot the negro, the ball taking
effect in the neck. The negroes about
the mill quit work, and threatened to
kill Rose, and at one time things looked
squally, Mr.. Rose came on over to Man
ming to be on hand in case the negro
died, that he might surrender to the
sheriff. Iowrey was not as seriously
hurt as was at first supposed, and it is
thought he will get well.
