THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER
A Few Simple Things You
Mayn't Have Been Told.

The glory of Corvallis hath departed.
Down in the mud went the colors of our
college; our hearts are bitter toward the
fates that rule. Not till the gallant bird of
victory shall perch upon our football banner
in future contest with the purple and old
gold, will we feel the pride that once thrilled
our hearts as we viewed our champions of
the long haired folks. And Patricia, tho
pride of First street! Did no warning voice
sing to you in your dreams before the battle,
''Patricia, Patricia, beware of the day when
the Portlands shall meet thee in battle
array?" Grief is written in every linesment
of Lyman's honest countenance. That the
Portlanders should win SO signal victory,
and he be left alive to tell the tale, Ia to
him incomprehensble. He feels it to be
something of disgrace not to have lost
limb in the cause. But never mind Patty,
old boy, you did your work all right.
The o. A. g. team gained nothing by
delegating Goodwin to the sub. bench. The
college team were weak-remarkably So
behind theliue. Goodwin could have stopped
Washburn's long runs, and could not have
done worse with the ball than the other
half-backs. Terrelps playing was disap-
Pointment; Phillips, revelation. Stimp-
sou came in n fair second to- Miles. The
o. A. c. next play Forest Grove. With
good, steady work they can win.
The tcorner saloon" is no more. Eodgin
has succubed to the inevitable, and now has
leisure to study up U. S. law. The council
should not grant license for. that building.
It has always had bad name, and no man
can run decent saloon in it. Anyway we
have enough saloons for the business. None
OF them are making money. They don't
cater to the "cultus" crowd, and if dives are
kept closed, fiends, thugs and rowdies will
emigrate to gresner pastures.
A Douglas county paper complains that
the State University and the Agricultural
College are spending the peoples money
teaching boys to play football" We have
heard, on very good authority, that inmates
of the Soldiers Home, at Roseburg. smoke
tobacco. Smoking Is not as manly vice
as football. 1t is more permanent and more
apt to become habitual. The homo is sup
ported by tax payers, many of whom do not
believe in smoking, and many others find it
difficult to pay for their own tobacco. The
| editor of the above mentioned paper has
never visited the O. A. c., and takes it for
granted that ball playing is made the object
and work of the institution. I have never
visited the Soldiers home, and feel war
ranted in supposing that its object is the
| cultivation of the habit of smoking. OF
| course, the man of sense will think this is
all nonsense, and that men will smoke and
boys will play, and that faculties are wise
| in directing athletic sports of the students
| rather than trying to prohibit them. But 1
am endeavoring to obey the mandate of

0ne of the richest works of art lately pro.

One of the richest works of art lately pro.
duced by local talent is an oil painting by
Mrs. L. A. Nash, for the Soldiers Home at
Roseburg. It is representation of Mary's
Peak, giving also very pretty view of Cor.
Wallis and the Willamette below. This
richly framed picture which was sent to the
Soldiers Home as Thanksgiving present is
certainly very appropriate, when it is re.
membered that the beautiful, imposing peak
selected, Is the sublimest scene in the Coast
ranges; region that is destined to be the
cradle of painting, poetry and song But
more especially is it appropriate, when we
consider it as tribute to the inmates of the
home, and to Commandant Wallace Bald.

Miss Lillian Kerr met with painful
accident last week from the effects of which
she is still confined to her home. She was
one of the ironerssat the steam laundry, and
while feeding the big nangler or ironing
machine, in some manner one of her hands
was caught between the hot cylinder,
severely burning and crushing the flesh as
far back as the knuckles. Fortunately, the
upper roller was wrapped with blankets,
which undoubtedly saved the bones of her
hand from being broken. AS it WAS, a ring
worn on the foreinger was mashed nearly
fiat, and embedded in tho flesh clear to the
hone The sufferer is under the care of DR..
G. II. Leo and is getting along nicely, and
will probably recover without serious injury
to the affected member.

The choral society, under the efficient
leadership of Mr.. w. G. Nash, is making
rapid progress with their work. While the
music is quite difficult, nearly all the
fifty pupils have mastered it, and the work
from now on will consist principally in ex-
preston and harmony. About the first
week in January, Mr., Nash intends giving a
grand concert, at which time the class will
be heard in the choruses now being rehears-
ed, and at that time the Corvallis public is
assured of listening to the best chorus sing
ing ever heard in this city. In addition to
this feature of the concert, Mr.. Nash will
be assisted by prominent soloists from Port
land, Salem and Albany.
1t is seldom that the Knights of Pythisi

Church Injured bY Dynamite.

Laurel Hill Baptist church, eight miles
from Staunton, is one of the most promi-
nent churches OF that denomination in the
county. The pastor is Rev. I. r. Corr.
Last Friday night the association of Dap
fist Young People was to have met there,
but the place Of meeting was changed and
they met at the parsonage. About 10
o'clock that night an explosion was heard,
but those i'll the neighhorhood paid 10 at
tention to it. The church has in its foun-
datiOn air holes, one of them in rear of
pulpit. On Sunday morning, eaily, Mr..
James Pearson, who attends to the church,
went there to light the fire aud prepare the
room for public worship. On entering the
auditorium he found the pulpit and the
pews in it's vicinity wrecked. The pulpit
had been turned bodily around and some
of the pews blown to pieces. On examina-
ton it was found that some one had put
dynamite through one of the air holes in
the vicinity Of the pulpit ard its explosion
bad wrecked everything in its neghhorhood.
The stick with which the eXplosive had been
introduced was found on the outside.
Notwithstanding the wreck, the pulpit
was moved back to its place and public
worship was held on Sunday morning. No
reason can be imagined for this outrage
Mr.. Pearson who was in town last Mon
day, and from whom this information was
obtained, could give no reason for it, nor
could he imagine who the perpetrators ;,
could be. By some it is thought that the
originators intended to injure some men,
bers of the young peoples society. thinking
that it would meet in the church on that
night, as had been it's custom. So far.
however, all is guess WORK, but an. investi-
cation by the County Commonwealth s At
torney may leal to some development.
