DEATH OF II. r. CLARK.

At his homes in this city Sunday afternoon
III. z. Clark, who for several years past has
been at the head Of the printing department
Of the Agricultural College, brenthed his
last. The funeral took place at the Episco-
pal church Monday afternoon at O'Clock,
under the auspicies of the Masonic fraternity
Of which the deceased was member in high
standing. Mr.. Clark's death though expect
ed by a few intimate friends, was to most Of
our citizens surprise. Until week pre-
vious to hi. demise he had been attending
regularly to his duties at the college, and
owing to his robust appearance, was gener-
ally thought to be in good health. But like
many Scared veterans of the war, he suffer-
ed in silence from the wounds received in de-
fence of his country and went home on the
Monday proceeding his death fully realizing
his critical condition.
Mr.. Clark was born Oct. "a, 1889, in the
state of Vermont. When the war broke
out he was living in Michigan, and from
that state enlisted in the naval service, being
assigned to duty on board the U. S. man-of-
war, Fort Henry. For efficient service he
was promoted, but before the war ended he
was honorably discharged on account Of dis
ability, the result Of wounds received in an
engagement. Later he was married to Miss
Kate Pengra, and in 1882, with his family,
came to Oregon, settling in Eugene where
he remained until his selection by the board
of regents as the college printer. Two
children, a son and daughter survive him,
who have the sympathy Of the community.

coNcERs1Ne THE COLLEGE.

Next Tuesday afternoon the board Of re-
gents of the Agricultural College will meet
iii this city for the purpose Of selecting a
successor to president Blo.s. There prom
ses to be rather animated session. The
board consists of Governor Lord, Secretary
Of State Kincaid, Lieu Land Commission
er Davenport, Benton KILN, State School
Superintendent Irwin, w. NJ. Hillery, Mas
ter State Grange j. K. Weatherford, Wal
lis Nash, W. P. Ready, J. T. Apperson, Jo-
scph II. Church, w. E. Yates, and Samuel
Hughes, of Forest Grove, who was yester-
day appointed to fill tho vacancy caused by
the resignation of II. b. Miller.
Hon. III. B. Miller is the most active can
didate and he considers his election assured.
The committee to whom was referred the
matter of selecting suitable man for presi-
dent, it is understood, will submit two re-
ports; Governor Lord and MIR. Killen,
favoring Mr.. Miller, and Mr.. Apperson re-
porting against his selection.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Miller's apparent
confidence, His selection does not seem al
together certain. He will doubtless be act

regents and Mr.. Hughes, who is to take his
place on the board. Indeed, the governors
haste in appointing Mr.. Miller's successor
would indicate that the latter's candidacy
had not met with such glowing success as
was at first indicated
1t is said also that if Mr.. Miller is appoint
ed he will be accompanied by Prof. F. l..
WashbLrl, formerly of the college, now Of
the state university, who will officiate as dean
of the faculty. Prof. Washburn is reported
to be somewhat disappointed st not having
his salary increased at Eugene, and the cur
tailmcnt Of his field and importance of his
work by his change, and the new position
would give him an opportunity to distinguish
himself in experimental and other work.
Among the other applicants for the presi-
lency are Prof. McElroy of the state uni
versity, and Prof. j. D. Letcher, of the
same institution, formerly professor of
at the college. The thought
arises that Prof. Letcher's exper-
ence as acting president of the college after
he death OF Pres. Arnold, would have been
sufficient for his ambition. He certainly did
lot shine in that capacity. His performance

lcavor to draw salary from the college while
of the state university, would
lardly be first. class recommendations. The
objections that might be urged against the
election of Prof. McElroy ARE the as same are |
rgcd against Mr.. Miller, only emphasized.
The board will also doubtless select
rinter to fill the vacancy caused by the
cath of Mr.. Clark. 1t is understood that
leo. Clark, son of the former printer, will
Q an applicant for the position. Mr.. j. j.
'lett, recently of the Gazette Publishing
70 /, and who now has temporary charge
this department, and Henry Stewart Of
1e Times offices, are also applicants. The
olcge Office is finishing up the annual cata-
,gue, and there will probably be considera-
lie station printing to do during the sum-
Ter.

CARRIAGES NO MORE.

There are indications that the carriage fac
tory troubles will soon be settled and the
factory resume operations. Mr.. Jenkins the
Illinois man, is still here, with emphasis on
the ''stif, ,''>forhe is not divulging his busi-
ness plans. tits very probable, however,
that he will shortly be bic to take the prop
erty out of the assignee's hands and organ
ize new company.
Then the factory will be put upon differ
ent basis. The manufacture of carriages
and buggics will be discontinued ard the
new management will confne itself to Coast
farm wagons. The increased use of Oregon
wood will be feature, for it has been de-
monstrated that this can furnish all the
necessary tim Der of the best quality. This
not only means decreased expense to the
factory, but the developsm ent OF one Of our
natural e :ources.
Later on the manufacture of agricultural al
implements may be introduced, but it is not
likely that the factory will ever resume the
making of buggies and carriages. These
require variety of skilled workmen, montbs
are required to complete them and the de-
mand for them is variable, while farmers
will have to buy wagons as long as they raise
grain.
Properly managed, and backed by suffi-
| cient capital, the factory can be made a pay
ing concern. 1t is an important enterprise
and the citizens of Corvallis are very anx-
| ious that it be put upon good substantial
basis.

AMI THEY WON.
Carnival Polo Team Made It's Threat
an Actually.

The most closely contested game Of
polo witnessed in ST. Paul since the
Introduction Of the speedy winter
game took place in the presence Of a
large crowd of enthusiasts at Aurora
park yesterday afternoon when the
Carnival and Summit Polo clubs met
to decide the question of superiority.
Both teams are recognized as among
the best polo aggregations in the
Northwest, and the fact that the hot
test kind Of rivalry has existed be-
tween them served to intensity the
interest among both players and spec
tators. From the start to finish Of
yesterdays contest the playing was Of
the fastest and highest order, and,
though the Carnivals finally won out
by score of 81, it was not until the
last goal had been secured at the end
Of an extra half necessary to decide
the victory that the Submits ceased
their aggressive tactics. The game
was called promptly at $3.50, with the
teams lined up in the following Or
der:
Carnivals. Position. SUBMITS.

Macdonald. Left rush.. .Shaefer
p. j; Murphy........;;H Half back ...... Gerber
R RG Left Seii cerer n M;Ilee

k1efer. ..........-.... Goal ............. Barron
FOuf minutes OIL quick play by the
SUBMITS gave them the first goal,
which was made by pretty drive on
the part of Miller, whose clever play
elected a round of applause from the
spectators The remaining eleven
minutes of the first half were full Of
good plays, appreciated by the on
lockers, but neither side could score
though the ball was kept well into
the Carnivals' territory by their OPP
ponents. After a rest of five minutes
the second half was begun, and for
fifteen minutes each team played it's
best. Just before time was called the
Carnivals made a goal, tying the
score. By special agreement, it was
decided to play off the tie, and once
more the young athletes went into
the fray. The play was of the same
rapid nature of the two preceding
halves, though the Carnivals appeared
to have the longest end of it during
the latter portion of the time In ten
minutes Murphys boys had secured a
goal, placing the score at 81, and
three minutes after the next rush the
ball was again sent into cage, defend
ed by the SUBMITS, ending the game
amid greatest enthusiasm.
The Submits Immediately challenged
the victors to another game, which
will be played in near future

Some Splendid Suggestions to Men

Some Splendid Suggestions to Men
and Women in Middle Life.
"a man is as old as he feels, woman as
old as she looks" The number of years is
of less Importance. There are thousands of
old people who seem to be always young
and many would gladly learn the secret of
their wonderful energy, strength and vigor
Why is it that these remarkable old peo-
pie are able to keep SO strong and we'll? Why
is it that they are never complaining of
colds, coughs, grip, chiils or other forms
of sickness? Perhaps the secret may be
discovered by reading what some vigorous
people of advanced age have to say on the
subject
Nelson Johnson, leading resident of
Knoxville, Pa, says: Some time ago
decided to test the virtues of Dufy's pure
malt whiskey. 1t completely cured me of
the grip from which I was suffering. / am
SO years of age, and find that little of this
whiskey is the best thing for keeping up
health and strength that / ever tried
John Peddicord,- 15 Bond St. Baltimore
says: Il am nearly 80 years of age Some
time ago / contracted a severe cough, which
weakened me considerably. 1 was fortunately
persuaded to take Duffy's pure malt whiskey
which soon set me to rights 1t is a splen-
did thing for building up the system
These only two cases selected from
thousands but. they are enough to show
that Duffy's pure malt is unequaled for it's
bracing, energizing, stimulating effects. For
this reason care should be taken that no
worthless imitation is substituted by gro
GERS or druggists. Do not be led to take
anything but Duffy's pure malt whfskey
Be sure that you get it, for there's nothing

UNITED BY MYSTERIOUS BONDS.
Two Philadelphia Sisters Who Are
Connected In u Remarkable Way,

Connected in u Remarkable Way,
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Louis E. Vanousdal, paying teller of the
Third National bank, is in receipt of a let
ter from Charles Gabel, of Philadelphia, In
which the latter tells of probably the most
wonderful twins of the world-Tillie and
Lizzie, daughters of friend of Mr. Gabel.
These girls have never been separated TWEEN
ty-four hours in the nineteen years of their
existence.
Thoroughly we'll authenticated circum
stances prove that a mysterious bond exists
between the sisters. If Tillie has a tooth
pulled Lizzie has the toothache.
Recently. it was necessary for Tillie to
fered pain, although she was mile away
from the scene and did not know that TilJie
was under physicians care.
While the street car strike was on Christ
mas week, Lizzie dropped her work and
said 81 must go to TILL She ran out. and
found her sister crouched in doorway in
front of which mob was holding up a
non-union crew on a trolley car.
Either sister can find the other in e crowd
of any size without hunting" as they ex-
press it. The resemblance between the two
girls is remarkable. Both weigh exactly the
same. Their recollectfons of past events are
precisely the same. Neither one can recall
a single occurrence that did not happen in
the presence Of both. 1t takes the minds of
both to retain lasting recollection of any
happening, but when the fact is once i'm
forgets its least important feature.
The family is highly respectable, and the
peculiarities Of the twins have never been
paraded by themselves or the members of
their family. They live in the Twenty
