A book agent from Chicago visited Prof.
Horner's English class last Monday, and
when called upon for some remarks. is said
to have addressed one of the young lady

it mildly. She was really mad.
When fellow gets wheels in Ais head
and believes he is being followed and takes
three or four shots at some inoffensive pc.
destrian who happens to be going the same
way on dark street on a dark night, there
is need for the adoption of some vigorous
measures to prevent serious consequences.
A meek looking barber OF this city Is said
to answer the description of the person
who did the shooting.

The wedding was quiet affair, only few
intimate friends being present. I-imedi-

luncheon was served. After receiving the
hearty congratulations of those present, the
happy couple left on the afternoon train for
a brief stay in Portland.
Prof David Rosebrook left for Portland
Saturday, where be has accepted a posi-
tion as coruetist with one of the leading
orchestras of that city. Mr.. Bosebrook is
musician of rare attachments and as a
cornetist has few equals in the land. Un-
der his excellent dictatorship the orchestra
and Marine band of this city has attained
a degree of proficiency, during the past
twelve months, that is seldom found among
amateur organizations, and his departure
from among Us will be sine erely regretted.
For the present, his wife will remain in Cor

The steamer Homer arrived at Yaquina
Sunday. In addition to her regular passen-
gers she brou hit the Inflated crew Of the
brig Lucas, who were picked up off Port Or
ford. The brig sailed from Port Townsend
Oct., 10th, laden with piles for San Francis
CO. When three days out, the vessel
sprung a leak, and was in sinking condi-

On the other hand our fellows have no idea
of being defeated, and if they play as well
as last season they will undoubtedly be de.
cisred the victers. In any event, however,
an excellent game is promised and no one
should misc tho opportunity OF witnessing
it. The price of admission has been placed
at twenty-five cents, the proceeds to be
used in defraying the expenses of the. viz-
iting team.
In order to win the intercollegiate asso-
citation pennant, members of the o. A. c.
should be under the tutorship of a profess
sional coach for at least two weeks before
playing with Portland University on
Thanksgiving day. Such person can be
had for all outlay of about S75. Of this
sum $40 has already been pr missed and it
would seem as though the balance could be
raised by subscription without much effort.
The boys are now in correspondence with
one of the Reliance players of Oakland,
Cal, who is considered one of the best
coachers on the coast Should the pending
negotiations be concluded, the citizens will
probably be called to subscribe the remain
ing S35.
