A SORROWFUL TERMINATION.

A bright and shining star OF
Corvallis society has faded into
the night of death and will shine
again on earth only in the mem-
ory of those to whom she was
dear. None knew her but to
love her. Last Saturday Miss
L. Birdie Osburn became serious
ly afflicted with that dread dis
ease, scarlet fever, and contin-
ually grew worse until Thursday
morning at 1920 when her life
ended. She was in a comatose
state from Tuesday until short
time before death claimed her as
its victim when she regained
consciousness, called all mem
bers of her family about her and
bade them goodbye" after
which she passed peacefully
away, fully prepared to meet the
grim monster Death whose COM
pany she now keeps. On the
18th inst she would have reached
her twentieth year. Her remains
were inferred in the Crystal
Lake cemetery yesterday, the
small procession leaving the
family residence at p. m, Rev.
H. Gould reading the short bur-
ial service of the M. E. church
at the graveside. In her death
the family loses a loving sister
and daughter, the church a
model member and the commun-
ity one whose place will be hard
to fill. Hers was a we'll spent
life. May she receive her re-
ward. Appropriate funeral serv-
ices will be held later-perhaps
about the 18th of the month, the
anniversary of her birth.

An adjourned term of the circuit
convened at 2 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon and the first thing that oc.
cupied the attention of Judge Full
lerton was the 0. 2. case, upon
which beief arguments were made
with reference to fixing the date of
resale, the same having been
postponed until March 1. Follow
ing this came the county fund mat
ter deposited in the Hamilton, Job
& Co. bank, the question under
consideration being whether or not
the money on deposit is a trust fund
and whether the county's claim is
to have priority over others in rou-
tine of adjustment. Quite a tai
ented array of attorneys appeared
on both sides.

Uncle Dave Kitson left for his
mountain home in Lane county on
Wednesday, expecting to stop a
few days in Albany, Shedd and
Eugene. While in Corvallis he
called on several of his friends
who have visited him at his
springs, many of whom expressed
their determination to renew their
acquaintance with his justly cele-s
brated health and pleasure resort.
One of these, Mrs. 81. r. Clark,
wife Of the college printer, owes
her life to the healing virtues of
his springs-in the language of
her husband, "Rheumatic troubles,
female and cutaneous diseases are
sure of relief after use of these
springs"

1t is claimed by members of the
Multnomah amateur athletic club
that no formal challenge has as
yet been issued to the senior team
to play match game of football,
hence the failure of that aggrega-
ton to materialize in Corvallis.
This is an erroneous claim. A
formal challenge was drawn in the
office of Hotel Holton, Portland,
on the evening of the Stanford
Multnomah game by the editor of
The GAZETTE and Mr.. Will II.
Bloss, manager of the o. A. G..
eleven, and delivered to the Multi
nomah manager while in the box
of the Marquam Grand opera
house attending the enteltainment
given in honor of the visiting
Californians. No reply has ever
been received. Perhaps their
chagrin at defeat was more than
reason for not accepting
the challenge of the o. A G. team,
as the many long faces of the
players and populace to be seen on
the streets that day attested. the
discontinue of all interested in
the success of the valiant Multi
nomahs. Perhaps they did not
care to risk even a portion of their
lost reputation against our little
country club. Cowardice is per-
haps the term that best fits their
case.

THE CONTEST TONIGHT.

At the opera house tonight
OCCURS the annual literary contest
between the Websterian and Cice-
roman societies of the state agri-
|cultural college. For this event
preparations have been making for
many weeks past and the faculty
as well as the students have given
! the subject considerable thought.
In several instances one of the
former has evinced desire to
eliminate portions of the debate and
essays containing patriotic refer
ences to the achievements of indi.
yiduals during. the strnggleaf the
Tate unpleasantness in which the re
bel hordes were vanquished. The
question, "Resolved, that the bat
tie Of Antietam was more impor-
tant in suppressing the rebellion
than Gettysburg" is certainly one
that should call forth patriotism
unhindered, especially so in con-
test between students of an insti-
tuition supported almost wholly by
the government of The United
States. Complaint has been made
ON this proposition, and while we
do not pose as critic, we assume
the right to suggest the idea that
In future instances of like nature
the amor patri@ of the student
remain undisguised. The writer
has heard murmurings of discon-
tent On this line in reference to
previous conduct from the same
source, and without indulging in
personality at present, will in
future give the matter an airing if
occasion requires. The function
of instructor OF overseer should be
exercised without a display of
sectional pique. The program
promises to be one of much inter-
est, and undoubtedly there will be
large and intelligent audience
present to listen to the efforts of
contestants. Following is the

The lecture of Senator Huston,
of Hillsboro, at the college last
Sunday afternoon, is said to have
been one of considerable interest
to those who were fortunate in
being present, the. same having
been descriptive of his visit to the
worlds fair and the east. While
the senator and his estimable lady
were in the city they were the
guests of President Bloss and
wife.

The family "across Mary's river
for whom a subscription was taken
with charitable intent Is said to be
really in want, but we are in
formed that their condition is
largely due to lndolent pride. Op-
portunity has been afforded mem
bers of the family to earn small
sums of money at different times
the eldest daughter having been
offered three dollars per week for
her services in respectable fam
lily in the city we are reliably in
formed. To be charitable is
worthy of cominendation; to scat
ter aims in an unworthy direction
is but a waste.

First Lieut.. Dentlar, U. S. A.,
has been relieved from his duties
with his regiment in Arizona "a and
ordered to report to President
Bloss for duty. He will leave his
station at once and may be ex-
pected to assume military charge
of the cadets in attendance soon.
This will be a good time.and oppor-
tunity to float "Old Glory" from
the cupola of the college and
teach the boys in arms true rev.
erence for the old flag so dear to
many. By the way, why does not
the stars and stripes ornament the
dome of our public school build
ings 1t would be good lesson
for the rising generation to study.

FOOTBALL TOMORROW.

AT Q o'clock tomorrow after
noon on the college campus there
will occur another football game.
IN which all participants will be
local talent. The "craze" has
grown to such enormous propor-
tlons in Corvallis that even the
most retired inhabitant has been
enthused with a love for the great
game, and doubtless large crowd
will assemble to witness the strug-
giles OF the new aspirants for hon
ors. The members of the new
club are as follows: Millard
Hayes, Charley Rogers, Pat. Kel-
say, Billy Skipton, L. Davisson,
Ed Northrup, Fred Oberer, Alex.
Rennie, Charley Young, Clyde
Beach and Virgil Waters. The
Corvallis boys will appear in bran
new uniforms, the colors chosen
by them being ''black and blue,' y
which may be suggestive of their
condition, "after the game" with
the "champions." At any rate a
good game is promised and you
should see it. Admission 10 cents.
