Fl. F. Fischer died at his home near
| this city Wednesday night, after inger-
ing illness with catarrh of the Stomach.
Every effort was made to prolong his
life, but to no avail. Mr.. Fischer re-
turned but few days age from Tallman
springs where he had spent the summer,
snd it was known then that the end was
not far of.
The funeral occurred yesterday after.
noon at 2 o'clock, from the family resi-
dence. the services being conducted by
Rev. Carrick in the presence of great
number of friends of the deceased. The
mortal remains were laid to rest IN Crys
tai Lake cemetery. All business houses
of this city were closed during the servi-
ces as mark of respect to the deceased.
Heary Fred Fischer was born in Ger
many, March 25th, 1888. Coming to
America while quite child he grew to
manhood in Illinois.
About Is years ago he moved to Oregon
with his family. On his arrival in Cor
wallis he purchased an interest in the
Corvallis Floaring Mills, then owned by
Gray & Korthauer. Later he purchased
the interest OF Mr.. Korthauer and at the
time of his death was sole proprietor of
that valuable property.
Besides being master of the miller's
trade, Mr.. Fischer was a mechanical ge-
MUS. He vas constantly studying and
developing new processes and methods
in his business, with the result that the
product of his mills has become famous
and has taken many high awards and
medals at the great exposltions. The
mill, which was quite unpretentious
when he first became interested in it, has
been increased in capacity until its out
put Is now 200 barrels per day.
These things stand as evidence of Mr..
Fischer's untiring energy and excellent
business ability. He was no small fac
tor in the upbuilding of the material in
terests of this county. He had no time
for social affairs, but he possessed the
esteem and warmest regard of all with
whom he came in contact. Honest, sin
cere. kind and generous, the community
has lost in him valued citizen.
OF the family, the following members
survive him: The widow, August, Err
nest, Fred and Martha Fischer, of Cor
wallis; Louis Fischer, of Silverton, and
Mrs. Richard Kiger, of Corvallis.

O A. G. Athletes.

There is much enthusiasm out
at the college over athletics this
year. The boys are all taking
hold with a will and everything
is moving apace. Coach Her
bold has taken charge of all
available football timber and has
the boys out doing preliminary
work every evening. He is able
to get from twenty to thirty
young men to kick the pigskin
on these occasions. At present
they are working easily>and are
not attempting anything that
will make them sore and stiffen
them up.
Those who are managing foot
ball at the O A G this year in
tend to issue season tickets, good
for all games played on the col
lege grounds. These tickets will
be placed on sale down town. 1t
is the intention of the managers
to start lot of small boys out to
sell these tickets. They will al
low the boys S per cent of all
sales they make and give them
every tenth ticket. At the end
of the season the boy who has
made the greatest sale of tickets
will be given a cash prize OF IS.
A number of important games
are already scheduled for the
season, which will open about
November nth. 1t is thought
that at various times during the
fall they will meet some of strong
est teams of the Pacific North
west. They have already enter
ed into arrangements for a game
with Eugene.
The boys are doing everything
in their power to assist in getting
the grounds ir good shape. 1t is
thought that tomorrow large
number of students will donate
work and give things on the
grounds quite a boost. w. O..
Heckart is rushing work on the
grandstand.

Be not Hypocrites.

"Remember the Sabbath day
and keep it holy" This is
what the churchmen teach US,
and for more reasons than one it
is good rule to adhere to. But
he who teaches it should be the
last to break the rule. Not that
it is any more sinful for him to
break the Sabbath than for any
one else, but it is more noticeable.
Again, if a churchman break
this holy day, the effect of said
act upon those around him is
more matter of regret than if
he who is outside the pale of the
church committed the same Of
fense, if ofense it is, for the sim
pie reason that all eyes are upon
the gentleman, and his regard Or
disregard for the sacredness of
the day is greater in its effect
than the actions of one who
makes no profession of religion,
even though he be religious.
In a certain residence block
near the central part of this city
we find nearly every resident a
member of some church. Last
Sabbath, chance passer-by
noted that all residents of tn is

block were In an industrious
mood. The work of improving
their homes was being prosecuted
with great diligence; the saw
and hammer each gave forth its
song, and weeds were being pull
ed and various particles of debris
were being taken from the prem
ises. ALI of this is very well,
and the idea of beautifying aud
improving a home Is highly com.
mendable, but according to the
the professed ideas Of the church.
men, it is wrong to do this work
on the Sabbath. The worst
part of it all is, that some of
these people, good of intent
though they be, had they chanc-
ed to find someone else working
on the Sabbath when they, them
selves, were having a day of rest
and sacred commune, would
have strictly condemned that
party. We are too prone to lay
down rule or a law to govern
some other party, no matter if he
be in the church or out of it,
but by a little judicious figuring
we may be able to escape the
charge of hypocricy.

Mrs. ChriStena Barker.

The death Of Mrs. Christina
Barker occurred in this city last
Monday evening at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Emory Allen.
She had been i'll about six
months prior to her death, but
her illness was the result of old
age more than anything else.
The funeral services took place
at the Allen residence Wednes-
day morning at tea o'clock and
remains were inferred in the
Henkle cemetery. The services
were conducted by Rev. A. Car
rick.
The deceased was past 86
years of age at the time OF her
death. She was a pioneer of
1853, having crossed the plains
with an OK team to Oregon in
that year in company with her
husband, and her brother, 1cha-
bod Henkle. The latter survives
her and has reached the age Of
o2 years. The Barkers settled
on a farm near Philomath. AT
ter a residence of nearly 80 years
they moved to Washington,
where Mr.. Barker died after a
residence OF few years. After
his death, Mrs. Barker returned
to this county and made her
home with Mr.. and Mrs. E. AL
len, of this city, until her death.
While en- route across the
plains her eyes became affected
by alkali dust and a few years
later she lost her sight. She
was blind during the greater
part of her life. Through. all
her life, despite the many af-
fictions that beset her, she re-
mained a kind-hearted gentle
woman and won the esteem and
affections of all. The surviving
children are. Mrs. E. Allen, of
Corvallis, Mrs. Bessie Witte, of
Waitsburg, WASH, and William
Barker, of Salem.

for the time in seventeen years.
AS boy and young man this was
his home, but he has been employ
ed in the sealing business for years
and in that time has visited many
c,imes. He is amazed at the won- |
derful growth of Corvallis during |
his absence, and the many changes
that have taken place. Few of
those whom he knew remain, and
the younger people have outgrown
his recollection. Mr.. Emory will
spend several days in this city and
vicinity.
B. R. Woldt, whose saloon was
destroyed by fire some two weeks

gentlemen have pushed their work
so rapidly that Mr.. Woldt was able
to open to his customers yesterday
evening. The ground in the rear
Of the saloon, formerly occupied by,
the, blacksmith shop and storeroom
will be cleared off,. and it is quite
possible that Mr.. Woldt will put
building there in the spring.
