Messrs. w. D. Madigan and Il. W. Carey
arrived in Corvallis this week for the pur-
pose of organizing a council of the Loyal

benevolent order founded some years ago in
Hastings, Nebraska. Before coming to
Corvallis, these gentlemen had organized
lodges IN Salem, Independence, Dallas and

with their enterprise in this city.

honors are about even between Geo. Denman

on seven different candidates at the recent

contest in which each evidenced much
natural ability and careful training. At
the end of the eighth round each showed
weakness and when the fifth pie had been
devorred the pair were done up and friends
were called to their assistance to eat the re.
manning two. The effect on George was
most distressing for time but in the MORN

with Dick, however. His pale thin face in.
dicates intense suffering and loss of sleep

says that hereafter his desire for pastry will
be limited to thisgs other than pie.
