Advices received by mail this morning
at the War Department give fun reports
Of the court-martfaI Of Major Littleton
W. T Waller. Z s ID C, at Cayite on
the charge of executing natives without
trial during his recent campaign in sa-
mar
According to these reports it seems
that Major Waller based his defense not
only upon the orders received by MIN
from his superior, Cen Jacob Smith, but
upon the allegation that the natives had
been given a trial. or at least the semb-
lance of one. One of the majors chief
witnesses. Lieutenant Day, testified that
there was an investigation as to the
guilt of the natives. in which he person
ally took part.

of these men-how they concealed zood
from the famishtng soldiers, persistently
disobeyed orders when the officers and
men we're too weak to enforce them, plot
ted against the life of Major Waller and
the other officers. and attacked and nearly
oyerpowered Lieutenant Williams.
Regarding the last Incident, the lieu
tenant testified that three OF them jump

teeth and the others hacking him with
bolos. Only the timely arrival Of Private
George Davis with his rife prevented
them from killing the lieutenant As

Only One Native Faithful.

The boys of Company D, of
the Secoud Oregon Volunteers
are alk enthusiastic admirers of
Hon w. J. Furnish When the
Oregon Volunteers arrived in
San Francisco in 1900, on their
return fren the Philippines, the
weather was very cold, and the
boys wore their thin khaki cloth
ing they had used in the tropics.
They had not been ra:d off; so
could not get any warmer cloth
ing. The matter was reported
at Pendletor, where most of the
boys of Company D hailed from.
AS soon as Mr.. Furnish learned
of the matter he went to the tele-
graph Office and wired to give the
boys of Company D all the cloth
ing they needed and send the bill
to him. Consequently there is
warm spot in the hearts of the
Oregon Volunteers for Hos. w.

pay its employees any better
wages than does the owner of the
GAZETTE? Possibly the owner
of the GAZETTE since he has
been in Corvallis has given as
much employment to a greater
number of people in this com1nu-
nifty, paying them wages than
any other man now living in
Corvallis. If such employment
and conduct of various businesses
does pot suit the Times and its
ring Of political bosses, why do
they not ge. their little hammers
and stop SO much business? But
what interest has the voters or
readers Of the town papers i'll SO
much display about some ones
private affairs? What a marked
contrast! 1t takes quarter of
score of political bosses to run
the Times, and it seems curious
that it is not run better with SO
many valuable assistants. Pos
sibly it may be that the r1unaer-
Gus helpers are net all paid ade-
quate wages If the editor Of
theTimes would run more kinds
of business, possibly he might be
able to better satisfy his numer-
Gus assistants, the several bosses,
and more especially his general
readers, providing he can induce
his own mind and his several bos-
ses to attend strictly to their own
ceucerus, and cease their centin-
uous meddling in child like imi-
tation into their neighbors and
others private business. It has
long been an axiom that most
men who prosper do so by indus
try and strict attention to keeping
their nasal extrelnities out of the
business of others. Without any
further joking on these redicu-
lous subjects raised by the Times
and its political bosses to confuse
and befog an occasional voter,
do the voters, the good, straight,
honest democrats of Benton
county want to continue to en-
courage the Times and the ring
of political bosses bv voting the
democratic ticket, or will they
vote the republican ticket, all
good straightforward men, and
thus aid in purifying the disrepu-
table politics SO long practiced
On the people of Benton county?

FARMERS NEED NOT APPLY.

The ring of political bosses,
through their spokesman, the Times,
urges that J. 0. Wilson should not
be elected clerk because he has a
farm. That means that no farm
er should run for office, and that
accounts for the reason that the
ring of the bosses )minated three
fourths of dozen of all of their
ticket, from people who live in The
corporate limits of Corvallis, be-
cause it has been decreed ly the
ring of political bosses that not a
single man is entitle to office with
adequate salary, who is a farmer or
who lives outside of the corporate
limits of Corvallis. But the po-
litical bosses have decreed that an
office with little or inadequate pay
that affords starvation wages, is
good enough for farmer who lives
outside of the corporate limits of
the city of Corvallis. On the other
hand there is our congenial friend,
our dear Bro. Walters, who has re-
sisted so long the temptation of the
bosses until he has landed on top,
becoming the head of the bosses.
With temptation put aside at last
on the stump he insists that his
opponent should not be elect. d be-
cause he has not more property
than the dear Bro. Walters. And
furthermore on the stump he and
also the Times, his congenial
spokesman, contented with knock
down argument, convincing to all,
that by all means shoull be elect
ed the dear Bro. Waters, b, cause
a man over in Corvallis, a kind of
a man, just scare crow you know,
has some property; who sells ply
sic, and runs a cheese factory and
sells cheese, and for all these reas-
ons the dear Bro. Waters should
be elected because it would not be
so binding you know. Then there
is the booklet LAID so freely ON the
door steps of the farmer. 1t is true
there is no ones name signed to it.
The effort was still-born The
booklet was printed. No author
appears to tell the good farmer who
invaded his door step to present
the document. The farmer reads
that the information contained
therein is on record in the county
clerks office, and he can 60 there
and read it for himself. The reader
then r, asons that the information
was cleaned from the clerks office |
while the dear Bro. Waters was
asleep because if he knew of it, and !

voters understand the abstract OF
title and ownership of the Times,
the ring organ of political bosses.
About fifteen and more years ago,
Mr.. q. F. Irvine, the genial edi-
tor of the Corvallis Times, re-
sided in Corvallis for several
seaTs-worked with the 1epnbli-
can party aud was understo d to
be a straight, conservative repub-
lican. Becoming unfortunate IN
health he moved east of the
mountains remaining several
years, finally again returning to

a republican. He had some
liking for the newspaper busi-
ness. Besides the Time es, an
other democratic paper, the Ben
ton Leader, was run in Corvallis
at that time by a straight demo.
crat. The Benton Leader was
in some way controlled by off
GERS of the Oregon Pacific Rail
Road Company, having their
principal Offices in Corvallis at
that time. Mr.. Irvine made
satisfactory terms with the ring
of political bosses that he would
buy the Times, and also arranged
with the officers of the Rail Road
Company that they would shut
up, closing the business OF the
Benton Leader, ande the Times
was turned over to Mr.. .IrviHe by
consent of the bosses. The
Benton Leader was also turned
over to him by consent of the
officers of the Rail Road Conlpa-
ny, and since that time Mr.. 1r

WHAT OF IT.

The Corvallis Times, that no.
torious ring sorgan, assumes a
very funny air, when it takes to
task the owner Of the GAZETTE,
because its owner, so says the
Times, Gowns and runs the GA
zETTE, does law business, con-
ducts an insurance business,
owns and runs a drug business,
conducts creamery business,
operates a banking business as
we'll as a newspaper business, all
in Corvallis" Well, what is
the Times going to do about it?
In doing all these things the
owner of the GAZETTE must have
to employ many to whom is paid

THE TIMES OWNERSHIP.

The Times and its governing
ring of political bosses, takes
much exception to, and heralds
abroad to the voting public, all
about the GAZETTE and its
owner, and all about several le-
eitimate business enterprises, run
in the community, employing
each year many valuable labor
ers, and paying thousands of dol
lars each year for these valuable
services. The Times deems this
detrimental 10 this community,
and to enlist the voters, he pa
rades to all the world the owner
ship Of the GAZETTE as we'll as
the owner of those several enter
prises who employs so many
laborers and pays them for their
valuable labor. A profound ar
gurrent, knockdown in its ma
ture to be sure, is that ore of
those enterprises sells cheese-a
fact which should not bind Mr..
Waiters-and then sells physic
to relieve the distresses. The
GAZETTE and its owner bears no
malice toward The Times or its
political bosses, but it is their
methods of politics that cut
ranks Satan's devices, aud looks
to all t-eaven for relief of their
despicab!e practices. The GA
zETrE has heretofore refrained
from mentioning anything about
the ownership of the Times, th-
tavorite organ of the political
bosses, but since the owner of
the GAZETTE has been so freely
aired TO effect voters, at the hands
OF the Times and its governors,
the political bosses, the GAZETTE
deems it important that the

PERSISTS nv DECEPTION.

Tie Times still persists in its
attempt to deceive the public il.
to the belief that if Sheriff Bur-
nett had employed a regular de-
putty during his term of Office
the county woald have had to
pay the bill. The GAZETTE has
made the statement, and the
Times does not ard can not deny
the truth of it: "The fact is,
Mr.. Burnett. has not conducted
the sheriff's Office any more eco
nomically for the county, than
Mr.. Richard, his predecessor con-
Quoted it. If he
employs a regular deputy, as
sheriff Rickard did, he must pay
that deputy out of his own
pocket The expense does not
fall OH the county,
The Times calls the attention
of its readers to page 50, section
II, of tAe session laws of 1895,
to prove its contention that if
sheriff Burnett had employed a
regular deputy, the county would
have had to pay the bill, Now,
let us see what the section re-
ferrel to by the Times, says.
Here it is:
"Whenever any sheriff ap-
points deputy'-for some special pur-
pose; the law does not provide for reg
ular deputy sheriff in this county-''it
shall be the duty of such official to re-
port the same to the county court of his
county, which court shall enter in its
minutes the said report, and IF THE SAID
COURT is OF THE OPINION THAT THE SER
VICES or any part thereof of such deputy
should be paid by the county it shall fix
the amount thereof to be paid by the
county by All order, duly entered, speci
flying the same which amount shall be
paid by the county in the same manner
as other county charges are paid"
Here is endorsement of these
statements made by the GAZETTE:
eff the sheriff should find it necessary
to appoint deputy for some special pur-
pose. he is required to report that fact to
the county court, and that body uses its
discretion in rejecting the bill for such
services or ordering it paid.
eff credit is due any one for economy
in the conduct OF the sherlff's Office, 1t is
due the county count of which Mr..
Knotts is careful and efficient member,
for the CONT audits the bills of the
sheliffs office"

few lesser lights expecting to
gather the few crumbs willed by |
the greater bosses.
With three-fourths of a dozen
candidates nominated on the
ticket all from within
the corporate limits of the CITY
OF Corvallis, it would seem to a
casual observer that the bo-s 5
had P. epared for a corporate city
election-but such was the will
of the ring, and certainly this
picture is fully complete
The fellow democratic dele
gates in the convention from the
country could have no influence
in presenting candidates from
the country, for it was SO de-
creed by the bosses that every
Office which paid a good salary
for the service must go to a cam
didate in the c0tborate limits of
the City of Corvallis. When the
democratic delegates from the
country presented candidate for
their choice who lived in Corval-
lis their influence had no effect,
because the delegates did not
live within the corporate limits
of the City of Corvallis.
1t was so decreed by the ring
OF bosses, living within the cor
borate limits of Corvallis. AS TO
whether or not their candidates
so nominated are qualified to per-
form the duties of their office,
within the corporate limits OF
Corvallis, is not the question, fol
it was done by the decree Of the
bosses. But the living and all
absorbing issue in this campaign
is, will the people, the good
democrats Of Benton county,
continue to lend their aid to per
petuate the reign of the ring of
the bosses? Or will they quietly
vote the republican ticket and
thus place their seal of condem-
nation upon the sacreligious and
unprincipled methods Of the ring
of the bosses? You have boys
growing up. You have families
that you love and cherish, and
the darkest cloud, the severest
blot, which for the past ten years
has enve1oped Benton county is
the dernoralizing influences OF
the methods of the ring of politi-
cal bosses. Its tendency is tc
corrupt the youth and demoral'
ize every thing good and just anc
honest. There is nothing free
from its unholy touch and invec-
tive.
If you elect the democratic
ticket you will confirm the rins
of bosses in its firm resolution
to continue to outrage and de
ceive the masses, as is decreed b.
the Corvallis ring of politica
bosses. The republican candi
dates are we'll qualified to perform
the duties of the various office
for which they are nominated
and if elected the ring Of bose
will be notified by your vote
that the people will not furthe
stand their deceptive, false meth
ods and ungentlelnanly practices
