Smallpox in Mild Form.

After an absence of several years,
Billy Williams arrived in Corvallis
last week on a visit with his moth
er. He spent Friday renewing old
acquaintances. His face was COW
cred with rash, which aroused the
suspicion that he was suffering with
smallpox, and Chief of Police AL,
exander requested DR.. Farra to call
upon Williams at his mothers
home, and diagnose his case. AS a
result of his visit, DR.. Farra ap-
peared before the council Monday
evening and acquainted the city
fathers with the facts in the case,
and stated that Williams had
smallpox in a mild form.
Chief Alexander was ordered to
quarantine the premises where Will.
liams is confined, and the board Of
health was instructed to secure a
pest house and take steps to prevent
spread of the disease.
No new cases have thus far been
reported.

Interest In the Past.

Forty years has made grea
changes in Benton county in vari-
GUS ways, but in no way more thar
matters pertaining to money and
interest thereon. Looking ovel
the Circuit docket of the early co.,
one will see various items relating
to judgments, ETC., involving the
payment of notes wherein the rate
of interest is set forth. The rate O.
interest at this time was in the ma.
jority Of cases "a per cent. per an.
num or higher; some a great deal
higher. Now plenty of money can
be secured at from 6 to Z per cent
per annum. The following will
give a good idea of the way money
was loaned in Benton county some
forty years ago:
In the circuit court Of the State
of Oregon for Benton county, Green
B. Smith, plaintiff, vs Price Fuller,
defendant, judgment by confession.
The above-named defendant, hav-
ing confessed judgment in. favor
of said plaintiff for the sum of
A57.77, it is hereby adjudged that
said plaintiff have and recover Of
said defendant the said sum of
together with interest
thereon at the rate of 43 1-2 per
cent per annum, and SIS costs. This
18th day of August, A. D. 1861.

Perp1eXed the Pastor.

Weary somewhat with visiting
this, the day, the Rev. M. Noble
sat reading and resting in the
evening of Tuesday last, when
suddenly a young friend called in
stating that some one wished to
see him at the church. Think
ing that perhaps some young
hearts might be waiting anxious
1y to be bound in the sacred
bonds of matrimony, he fastened
there. But 10! what a surprise
awaited him. The church was
full of people, of all ages, ready
to greet him with words of cheer
and radiant smiles, while On
the platform heaps ofgeed things
were piled. The Rev. G. Mac
Lean, Ph. D., took the chair and
led in some devotional services,

cultural College. He while
there met DR.. True, Director o.

/ Stations, and Mr.. Wilson, Sec
retary of the Interior, and hat
especially pleasant and profta
bic conversations with them re
specting station work OF the Ag
ricultural Colleges. While he
was in Washington the question
of location in the several state:
of the Schools of Mines and
Mining, under the new bill in
troduced for establishing such
schools, was taken up by the
committee of which committee
Mr.. Moody, of Oregon, is a
member. This committee met
on February 4th and the compe-
tition between the Agricultural
Colleges and Universities of the
several states for the manage
ment OF these schools was settled
by compromise agreement that
the bill creating the Schools of
Mines and Mining should be
amended so that in such states
as Oregon, where the State Ag-
ricultural College and the State
University are separate institu-
tions, and where there are no
mining schools already establish
ed by the state each of these
schools is to receive one half of
the appropriations tor such pur-
pose. The bill for these schools
of mining was introduced last
session of Congress, but was never
brought up for final vote; it real
ly was not reported back from
the committee, but it seems now
with this amiable adjustment of
the question of state location,
that it will become a law at the
present session.
The bill provides for a thor
ough course in the theoretical
and practical studies of mines
and mining, and that $4,000 be
appropriated the first year for
such schools and that the amount
shall be Increased $1,000 annual
y until the annual appropriation
or this purpose shall be $4,000

| The council met IN regula,
session Monday night, at which
time the following business wa:
transacted:
| The fire and water committee
nade a report recommending
that Manager Groves be request
ed to hang the doors at the east
entrance to the Opera House
so that they will swing outward;
to keep the doors leading to the
gallery open during entertain
ments; to put in double door
seven feet wide, to open outward,
on the north side of the Opera
House, and to build a platform a
feet wide and 9 feet long in front
of this entrance, on level with
the floor, with steps at each end
and railing on the outside.
The street committee reported
that the electric light company
had refused to place a light at
the corner sof 3rd and Madison
streets, but offered to put one in
front of the City Hall, and the
committee was instructed to have
one so placed. As matter of
fact, this will do little good so
far as lessening the danger at the
dark corner at the old Eglin
stable, but it is a concession and
should be priced, perhaps, for
that reason.
The mayor appointed Council
men Rose, Henkle and Heckart
as a sewer committee.
Bills were allowed, amount
ing to $2e3 on the general and
1913 on the street fund.
VIM. Crees was appointed to
act with the county, agricultural
college and citizens League
in securing exhibits for the
Lewis and Clark exposition, and
the state fair.
The petition of .Hcra Porter
for a lateral sewer. through blocks
20 and 2I county addition, was
referred to the sewer committee.
The petition of the majority of
property holders in blocks IA
and IS 'Dixon's end addition,
and block 4 county addition ask
ing for lateral sewer through
these blocks was granted and the
sewer committee was instructed
to have the proper surveys and
plans made, and the city attor-
ney was requested to draw up the
proper ordinance.
The petition for a lateral sew
er through block II, N. B. and P.
Avery's addition, was referred to
the sewer committee.
Z. H. Davis asked the conncil
if the city wished to sell its build
ing known as the old engine
house. The matter was referred
to the finance committee with
instructions to report at the next
regular meeting of the council.

Ambition to Hold Office.

The republican state convention
will convene at Indianapolis on the
23rd instant and complete its work on
the oath. The scramble for places on
the ticket has been unprecedented.
The only Office over which there is no
contest is that of secretary of state.
For some unaccountable reason this
position has been accorded to Dan
Storms, of Lafayette, gentleman of
exceptional personal popularity. He
is a fluent speaker and clever mixer.
AS the head of the prospective ticket
he will have to do considerable cam
paigning after the nomination. Most
of the aspirants for nomination are
young or middle aged men. The in.
come from most of the offices will
hardly be sufficient to pay the first
year IS expenses. Ambition to hold Of
fee puts to flight the prudence and
caution that usually characterize the
action of men who can afford to take
chances. There appears to be an in
fatuation about office-holding that
battles understanding South Bend
Times.

Prison Inquiry is Ended.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Apr. II
eight days spent in in
vestigating DIR. Horne's sensa-
tional charges against the man
agement of the state prison. and
particularly the conduct of Depu-
ty Warden Barnard and some of
the guards at the institution, the
state board of charities closed
its session at the prison yester-
day.
The result of the investigation
is as yet problematical, but The
expectation prevails that Barnard
will be fully exonerated. The
board of charities probably will
recomend that a suitable place be
established for the care of the
states criminal insane.

AMBUSHED IN A DEFILE
Two Thousand Chinese Troops Killed or
Captured.

HONG KONG, April II. "A
courier who arrived at Canton
yesterday reported that over
1000 imperialist soldiers sent by
Marshal Su against the rebels
were ambushed in a narrow de-
file and all were killed or cap
tured.
The situation in the rebellious
districts in southern China is in
creasingly alarming. The vice
roy of Canton has telegraphed
to Picking urging the immediate
forwarding of reinforcements.
Lack of news from General Ma
and Marshal Su is taken as indi-
cations that the rebels have sur
rounded the imperial troops and
cut off communication with them.
