FORMER CORVALLIS GIRL
Has Nervous Prostration.- Miss
Minnie WOIdt.

The following item, concern
ing Miss Minnie Woldt, FORM
er Corvallis girl, will be read
with interest by many people in
this city. It is taken from the
Portland Telegram, in which
city Miss Woldt now resides:
Becoming excited as result
Of yesterday afternoons fire, Miss
Minnie Woldt, an operator in
the long-distance department of
the Pacific Telephone & Tele-
graph Company, was stricken
with an attack of nervous pros
tration, and for time it was
feared that she would not sur
vive. She was taken to the home
of her parents at $40 Second St.,
and although she has not spoken
since yesterday, she is resting
easy and it is thought will soon
recover.
"Miss Woldt is frail, nervous
girl, and although she was sell
dom i'll, it is feared that the ex-
citement caused by the south
ward sweep of the flames, which
she could see from the window
of the telephone exchange and
the rush of work that always
comes during fires led to the
sudden breakdown. Since ar
irving at home she has been in
a semi-eonseious state. The
physician is OF the opinion that
the girl had a severe attack OF
mysteries. "
Miss Woldt has many friends
in Corvallis who will be sorry to
hear of her illness and all hope
or complete and speedy ,e
covery.

Saturday afternoon, in Kings
Valley, occurred the funeral OF
Minnie Pearl, only daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. L. w Townsend,
old and esteemed residents of
that place. The services were
conducted at the cemetery by
Rev. G. T. Hurd Of Corvallis.
Deceased was born in Kings Val
ley, January 1, 1894. Her death
occurred at Newport last Thurs
day morning at 9:20, although
she had been i'll for a year or
more. She went to Newport on
the Saturday previous to her
death, accompanied by her moth
er and others from the neighbor-
hood in which she lived. In
asking permission to go on the
trip she told her papa that it
would be the last place she would
ever go, seemingly aware that
death was near, although other
members of the family did not
realize it. The parents and one
brother, Cecil, are the immediate
survivors. The remains were
brought out from Newport to
Wrenn, Friday morning, and
were conveyed thence by private
conveyance to the last resting
place in the valley where the
Young girl was born. The moth
er has been in a serious nervous
conditlon ever since the daugh-
ter's death. Much sympathy is
felt for those bereft. Deceased
was niece of Mrs. Addie Price,
Mrs. Clyde Beach and Ernest
Rodgers of Corvallis and a grand
daughter of Mrs. Agnes Rodgers.

What's the matter with boostin

Welded AND GONE.
A Eugene Groom and Corvallis
Bride. .--Scott-keady.

thursday evening at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Ready
on Ninth street was celebrated
| the marriage of their daughter
Miss Mabelle, to T. Winfield
Scott Of Eugene, about 40 rela:
tives and friends being present
At the stroke Of eight, Miss
Cleo johnson played the wed.
ding march and the bridal party
entered and moved forward
through the back and front par
lors and took a position under a
large floral arch, from which was
suspended a beautiful wedding
bell of white sweet peas. The
dainty little ring bearer, Emily
Ready, led the way, followed by
S. K. Hartsock, best man, and
Miss Edythe Ready, bridesmaid,
and lastly the bride and groom.
At the arch the party was met
by Rev. ]. w. Armstrong of the
Episcopal church who performed
the impressive ring ceremony.
The bride, who is a beautiful
and winsome girl, was indeed a
lovely picture in a Princess gown
of cream silk voille, carrying a
shower bouquet of white carna-
tions and orchids. Miss Edythe
Ready was daintily gowned in
white swiss. The rooms were
prettily decorated with sweet
peas and clematis.
Following the congratulations
light refreshments were served.
During the luncheon the bride
tossed her bouquet and in the
rush Miss Hettie Lilly bore it
off in triumph, which indicates
that she will be the next blush
ing bride. An unusually large
number of very handsome and
costly presents were received by
the young couple, much silver
ware, cut glass and hand painted
china being included.
Later the happy couple, by
clever maneuvers, eluded the
party Of guests and reached a
waiting automobile a few blocks
distant, thus missing shower
of rice and old shoes. They pro-
ceeded to Albany and took the
overland train for Eugene where
pretty home awaited them.
The bride is one of Corvallis
most lovable and popular girls,
who by her womanly attributes
has won a large circle of friends
in this and other towns where
she is known. The groom is
young man of worth and is i'll
terested in the Red Cross phar-
macy Of Eugene. Both he and
his bride are OAC graduates and
are followed by the best wishes
of a multitude Of friends.

Bullets Not Removed.

DIR. G. b. Mitchell returned Sunday
afternoon from Springfield with Frank
Coy, whom he taken there for the pur.
pose of locating and removing the two
balls from his body which the DR.. said
could only be located by means Of .he
H-rays. An X-ray photograph readily
located the balls, on being deeply
bedded in the muscles under the
shoulder blade, and the other lodged
in the head of the humerus, the bone OF
the upper arm, so deep that it would
require considerable chiseling of the
bone to remove it. 1t was concluded
that there was danger Of more incon
venie1ce from the necessary operation
than from allowing the balls 10 re-
MAN, unless later implications should
set in, so the operation was abandoned,
or at least postponed 10 await develop
ments. Coy reached here in good con.
diti0n, so far as his wound is concerned.
After returning from Springfield Gov
submitted to an operation at the hands
Of DR.. Mitchell for hemorrhoids, from
which he was suffering more discom.
fort than from his wounds.
