acknowledgements.

When Roman Zahn left Cor
Wallis last spring for a visit to
his old home in Germany, his
record for withstanding the
Establishments and beguiling
smiles of Yankee girls was spot
less, and his many friends be-
lieved that he was simply unar-
proachable. But no heart is so
utterly dese1ate, but some other
beats responsive. Roman had
not been long in Europe when
he made the acquaintance Of a
German maid and ere he knew
it the citadel Of his affection had
been stormed and carried. On
the voyage home Reman was
accompanied By the lady of his
choice, and Tuesday afternoon
at the parsonage of the M. E.
church in this city the words
were spoken by Rev. F. L.
Moore which made Roman Zahn
and Miss Henriette F. S. K1en1-
ents man and wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Zahn will make
their home on the greonl's place
ia Alsea. The GAZETTE wishes
them long and happy married
life.

Was Probably j. A. Balch.

Some weeks ago Sheriff Bur-
aett received a letter from parties
in Missouri, wIlioh made in
quiries concerning one ''Balcll, f"
whom the let, >r stated had been
a member of Co. F, Ist Oregon
Cavalry. The letter was pub
lished ard the matter came to
the attention of John Catlin, of
Albany, a veteran of the Civil
War and until recent years
member of the regular army.
Mr.. Catlin was in Corvallis
this week to stand examination
before the board OF physicians
here to establish his right to
pension which he is applying
for. While here he visited this
Office and exhibited a letter from
Commander Shipley, of the
Soldiers Home at Roseburg, in
response to his inquiry concern
ing "Ba1sh." Mr.. Shipley
stated that the name does not
occur on the rolls Of Co. F, 1st
Oregon Cav, but the party re-
ferred to was probably James A.
Balch, who was 2nd lieutenant
in Co. F, 1ss Oregon Inf. Balch
was stationed for some time at
Fort Lapwai, Idaho, about 1865
or 1866, but died some years ago
at Goldendale, Wash. John
Purdom, now resident of AL
bany, was a comrade of Baloh's
during the Civil War.
Mr.. Catlin has a long and in-
teresting record as a soldier.
He enlisted in the army of the
Potomac when but II years of
age and served four years and
four months in the 5th New
York Cavalry. He was in
ali the great battles of that war,
and acted as headquarter bugler
for Sheridan and other generals.
When his service ended he
enlisted in the 1st United
States Cavalry and saw much
service in Indian fighting, being
wounded three times in addition
to his four wounds received in
the war of the rebellion. He
was stationed for a number of
years at the Preside, in San
Francisco, as a member of light
battery M, and Artillery. His
comma I'D was on its way to join
Custer, whea it was recalled by
a runner, and this fact probably
saved. himself and comrades
from the fate of the intrepid gen.
eral and his brave followers in
the battle of the Little Big
Horn.

Monday evening at 8 o'clock, the
high contracting parties being Prof.

were present, and tbs event was a
most happy one. Clyde has been
acting suspiciously for the past few
days and his host of friends be.
lieved that the event, which all
were expecting, was soon to occur.
Some even went so far as to exam
inc the license books at the clerk s
Office, but found no evidense to in.
dicate that ceremony had been
performed. So silly had the we'd
ding been planned, no inkling was
known of its having occurred IN.
til the groom laughingly confessed
two days after himself and bride
had been comfortably settled in
their new home near the college.
Prof. Phillips is a young man Of
whom his many friends are proud.
His whole life has been spent in

been enterprising and industrious

Bill Posting Ordinance.

It seems that the bill posting
ordinance of Corvallis came near
being put to a test a few days
ago. From what can be ascer-
tanned, S. N. Wilkins had some
rulers distributed by his son,
and these rulers bore the com
pliments of the business house
of S. N. Wilkins. They were
distributed without the consent
Of George Bingham, who is a
licensed bill-poster for this city.
He swore out complaint against
Mr.. Wilkins, but it was not
served, as the authorities did not
wish to involve the city In a
lawsuit. This bill-posting or
dinance is, and has been, a mat
ter of considerable speculation
on the part of the ''oity dads"
as to whether it will stand a law
suit in case someone foughtit. Mr..
Wilkins seemed to think that it
would not, while Mr.. Bingham,
who pays a license to do this
work in all of its forms, rot only
posting bills, but distributing
flyers, blotters, and various other
kinds of advertising matter, de-
elares that he is entitled to han-
die these jobs. Mr.. Bingham
says that he pays $40 year
license and that the city must
protect him in the matter. 1t is
a pretty hard ''nut to crack" "
and by consent of the latter,
action against Mr.. Wilkins was
postponed until after the next
meeting of the city council,
when that body will determine
what course to pursue.
It is held by many that it is
their right, If they choose, TO go
about town personally aud dis
tribute their cards, blotters, or
anything of this nature, SO long
as they make no charge for the
same and the man in whose
place Of business they are left
offers no objection. In other
words, they claim the privilege
to give a thing away if they
want to. A draynan is licensed
in Corvallis and can collect his
fee for work done, but if q man
should startsa dray and haul for
nothing who can stop him?
Again.. it is claimed that 10 IS
against the free circulation of
public reading matter. Papers
with bona fde subscribers can
be peddled by anybody, but a
paper equally good OF better that
is not subscribed Cor could be
forbidden distribution by the
bill-poster should he see fit. Il
all this. be true, Mr.. Bingham is
not to be blamed for wanting
protection in the privilege that
he pays a license for. Mr.. Will
kins, Oh the other hand may
claim that his rights as q citizer
are trampled upen when he can.
not make a man a present of
ruler bearing his name and place
of business.

The great ail-champion hunt
announced in last Tuesdays

Eighteen eager spertsmen re-
sponded to the call Of time Mon-
day night at nine o'clock, and a
majority OF them sneaked into
town Tuesday evening with light
game bags and blighted reputa-
tons. Dick Kiger pulled out a
victory for his side by scoring
488 points, while Bob Johnson
and James Horning, aftef day
of hair breadth escapes and dar-
ing adventures, each answered
roll call with agoose egg. Owing
to an oversight Oh the part of
the captains these were not Oh
the list Of points although geese
scored high.
The articles of agreement stip-
ulated that the captains were not
to participate in the hunt, but
were to remain in town and
choose sides after the contestants
had, departed. E. R. Bryson
and B. w. johnson were elected
caetains and the teams they
selected, together with the points

sHE TAI LEVY.

In comparing the levy of 81. 10
for this year as against $40 last
year, it viii be seen that an increase
has been made for state purposes
for the reason that according to the
law of 1901, all taxes due the state
for any fiscal year, must be paid to
the state before the same become
delinquent, or in other words the
state share must be accounted for
first, as they assume no response
bility for the collection of delin-
auent taxes. When these tax
Is are paid to the County treas
uTer, they go directly to the credit
of the current expense fund. The
current expense levy of this year,
was slightly decreased for the
reason that there were some 50, =
10000 less warrants issued for the
first six months Of this year, as
against the first six months Of 1900,
and for the further reason that in
the opinion OF the board, the popu-
luton of the interior portions of the
county has increasing so rapidly
that the demlnd for roads is an
actual necessity, hence, the decrease
from the current expense fund and
a light increase on the general road
fund. The general school levy is
fixed by law and cannot be placed
at less than five mills, The gen
eral bridge fund is a fund set apart
for bridges alone, and the board
calculates that the amount to be de
rived from the Taxes of this year,
according to the levy made, will be
sufficient to meet all requirements.
The state wagon road levy is also
fixed by law. The warrant re-
demption fund is for the purpose Of
assisting i'll the payment Of war
rants issued prior to the fiscal year.
Other sources from which these
warrants are paid is from the col
Lection of fees, fines, tax sales, poll
taxes and delinquent property tax,
which amount III round numbers
TO about $40 600 per year. So it
will be seen by the last named
figures that tie moneys received
from the taxes are not the only
resources which go towards paying
our outstanding warrants. It will
be seen that the bond and interest
levy has been increased Is cents or
each SIoo over that of last year.
This increase was made for the pur
pose of paving off $1,000 of our
ssoiids which become due this year,
besides the interest on additional
outstanding bonds amounting il
tie az .regate to about $3.50, 600
These are matters over which this
board have no control, as the deb
was contracted some years ago, and
Che bonds must be paid when due

ANArInN MnuRNs.

II is decreed by the Supreme
Ruler of the universe that the be-
loved president of so, 600, 900 people
should die by the handof a murder
our anarchist. The taking of
the life of President Mckinley
has no grounds for justification and
can be classed as nothing short Of
the most damnable cold blooded
murder, by one of class of foreign
ers whe have enjoyed too much
freedom and liberty under the pro-
lection of the Americun flag and
the laws of our country. Every
true American citizen meurns more
than he can tell over the sad news
that comes from Buffalo that the
president is numbered with the dead.
People may have differed from him
onpolitical policies, at the same time
he was the president of the whole
nation and had the confidence OF
the people in his sincerity of pu;-
pose, and his cruel assassination
is a blow TO every loyal citizen
of every political faith. 1t is das-
tardly outrage that deserves the
severest punishment, and we do not
believe there is a national or state
law that fits the crime. II should
be made treason to attempt to take
the life of a president, and every
person connected with such a con-
spiracy should be made equally
guilty with the principal. Our
laws are also too lax i'll relation to
immigration We admit the off
scourings of Europe, and our coun-
try is often made the dumping
ground for criminals whose passage
IS paid b. their governments. An
archtstS, criminals, infrm persons
and paupeFs should be excluded
from our shores, and only those
foreigners be admitted who can
show satisfactory certificates of
health, character and ability TO
earn a living. Such people will
generally make good citizens.
Then prosecute every anarch-
list for treason who takes Ii
cense for liberty and advocates the
destruction of our government
Such may be desperate remedies
but we have desperate disease to
cope with, and the remedy would
clear the atmosphere.
The nation mourns over the sac
tragedy that has removed its chic
executive. 1t is a crisis in our his
tory which puts the government II
a severe test, but we will pass i
safely. ''The president is dead
but the government at Washington
still lives.

them TO the love and fellowship of
any other congregation as worthy

ii looked as though the expelled
members would receive at least a
respectful hearing.

SOME of the property owners
threaten to tear up the old side
walks in front of their property
with the avowed intention OF not
replacing them, The board of trus-
tees should not permit this to be
done. Either remove all of the
old walks or 60 npel the property
owners to lay new ones. Do not
make fish of one and flesh of an
other. Church property q no other
property can ESCAPE these improve
mentS, aud it is time the trustees
should step in and on force the laws
of the state and tcwJ, We believe
the old walks should be replaced by
new ones, unless the people want
the impression to so abroad that
tie town is going backward instead
of forward. All Of this talk that
churches ami widows are exempt
from these special improvement
taxes comes from those who are
against the improvement because it
affects their pocket-book to the ex-
tent Of a few dollars. Father
Becker, who owns property on
Fourth street, shows his public
spirit by promptly complying with
the notice of the board, and is lay
ing i new walk. There is no rea-
son why others should be allowed
to escape because some paid attor-
ney appears before the board with a
big bluff that the taxes cannot be
collected, The way to find out is
to put down the walks and see that
the taxes for the improvement are
properly entered on the county tax
rolls against the property, Then
the owners of the property have
three courses open to them; pay the
tax, let their property be sold, or
begin a suit to set aside the tax.

ANOTHER death IS charged up to
the Christian Scientists at Kend-
rick, where they Let a boy sixteen
wears of age die for want Of medi-
cal treatment. The large number
of deaths under their treatment is
sufficient evidence of its impotency.
Did these deluded people but teach
their doctrine without putting it
into practice on helpless victims, no
objection could be justly raised, for
all people are entitled to their re-
ligious beliefs; but when they are
responsible for thu death of a vic
tim, the law should be used for the
protection Of the living.

THE Harrison Searchligbt of a
recent date attacked the steamboat
men in an unjust manner. In COM
menting on their business it said;
There is not boat that lands at
our docks, that is on regular runs,
but what discriminates in favor of
Coeur d Alene and carries trade and
traffic past our town from up the
river. There should be a boat put
on to ply the waters of the lake and
on up the river from.Harrison di-
rect to the head Of navigation, and
such a boat can be obtained if the
merchants and business men of
Harrison will pledg. their support
and patronage to the same, and
eventually all the trade from both
the St. Joe and St. Maries will be
controlled at the town o. Harrison,
the natural trading point for all Of
that country, and thousands of
dollars would be brought to our
town that now passes on to others. "
We believe the Searchlight has
made a charge against the steam
boat men that it can not substan-
tate. Capt Mcdonald, of the Spo-
kane; Capt. Darknell, of the De
fender and Capt, Laird, of the
Schley, are th> persons referred to
in the above attack. We have a.
ways given these men credit for
having coed, common, busine- S
sense and as they are Engaged in
steanboating for the money there
is in it, We presume they think just
as much Of dollar from Harrison
as they do Of one from Cceur d.
Alene, and transact business for
one town as freely as for another
Because Ceur d'Alene merchants
get the hulk of the business on the
St. Joe and along the lake, is nc
reason why the steamboat mer
should be blamed. The discrimin.
alton is chiefly in the imaginative
brain of the Searchlight editor.
