IN UNNiNLY ACT.
Public Insult Offered to Presi-
dent Miller by Unknown
Parties.

Monday morning figure representing
a mans body was discovered suspended
from the flag staff of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College, and in the place of the
weather signals floated flag bearing, in
large letters the words ''H. B. Miller
may know how to run a saw mill, but he
cannot run college" The efigy and
flag were quickly torn down, but the
news soon spread and all Corvallis engag-
ed in discussion of the affair.
The coarse and unmanly insult to
President Miller was doubtless the work
of young students, for the older men at
tending the college are above such cow
ardly practice. Recent events show that
when they feel they have cause for COM
plant, they are neither backward nor
underllanded i'll complaining.
As the authors of the inexcusable in
suit have not been apprehended, their
motive is not known. Inquiry has, how
ever, discovered the fact that their has
beer considerable friction between stu
dents and the head of the institution,
and that although there has not been
any open rupture, affairs at the college
have been rather unsettled.
Citizens of Corvallis, generally, con-
denim the affair as All outrage, and fear
that outside people would magnify the
and look upon the students
as band of rioters.
The students held mass meeting
Tuesday morning aud passed resolutions
1enouncing the insult and disavowing
.

ture Company, is making some decided
and improvements i'll his establishment
He is fitting up handsome and coinmo
dious undertaking parlors; something
Corvallis has heretofore sadly lacked.
The room in the rear of the furniture
apartment has been enlarged aud decora-

a simple but ingenious arrangement, can
easily display the handsome stock of cas-.
kets. But there is no suggestion of snn-
dertaking goods in sight.
The parlor will be carpeted aud fur.
nished, and will be suitable place for
services.
Mr.. wilkins will have his embalming

School Matters.

Prof. Geo. Denman is systema-
tizing the work OF the Benton
county public schools. He has
prepared a classification of the
course of study and will soon is
sue an important pamphlet to the
teachers of the county, explain
ing the plan.
In the introduction, the super
intendent says:
"The need of a county course
OF study or classification of the
work of the schools of our county
has been obvious of late years.
The demand Oh the part of Ben
toms teachers and patrons for a
more systematic arrangement al
the work of our common schools
has been increasing, as the cum
bersomeness of our present sys-
tenn has become apparent. The
work of prior years has been, in
many Of Our schools, unsatisfac-
tory and often discouraging TO
teacher, patron and pupil alike
In many of our schools, we find
the work in some branches being
neglected, simply because of too
many recitations and study peri
DDS of insufficient length. In or.
der to obviate this difficulty, the
number of recitations must be re
duced to the minimum and the
study periods and recitation peri
ods should be extended. Fal
more can be accomplished in thir
ty minutes every other day than
in Is minutes per day."
| Prot. Denman has not attempt
ed complete graduation of the
schools under his charge, as that
would be impossible under the
present conditions, but his plans
are practical and will be of grea
utility.

Johnnie, dear, don't do danger

if we have falsely accused; but
the report came to our ears from
two very reliable persons, besides
some very highly favored remarks
OF your own caused us, and others,
to believe you to be the accusing
witness against Frank Chiids. II
we are wrong, we beg your par

that you have more muscle than

SO tlatly and call us such IL black
liar as you did. If we had pur-

AT THE FAIR.

+ The "Fair of Nations" given at the
Opera House Tuesday night by the Meth
odist church people, was. success artis.
tically and financially. The Opera House
was thronged.
The solos of Miss Anderson were ex-
quisitely rendered. The mandolin solo
by Miss Gertrude Cauthorn was very
pleasing. Don Woodward's guitar solo
was fair, but scarcely audible. The ,nin-
strel songs, sung in plantation costume,
captured the audience, The tableaux
Columbia, !" Spanish Scenes" "Liber-
ty," aud Japan Tea" were all good,
while the concluding tableau, "Presenta-
ton at the Court of Queen Of Victoria, y
in which Miss Gertrude Vaughn was
Queen Victoria and Miss Myrtle Lewis
and Miss Lora Alexander acted as
court maids, was one of the prettiest
things of the kind ever given here.

Benton ceunty's school superintendent,
Prof. Geo. Denman, owns a horse. The
horse is alive and has four legs. This
brief statement includes nearly all its
good points. He calls his horse "Time"
when he feels in an ironical humor, and
fJustice" when he is practical minded.
The professor has been visiting the
county schools for the past six weeks,
his horse furnishing the principal mode
of conveyance thereto. The roads were
in bad condition, but that made no diff
ference to the horse. 1t didn't hurry over
them one bit faster. The professor tried
switch as an incentive to speedier loco
motion, but the animal glanced back with
pleased expression that exasperated,
and kept its old time gait.
One afternoon the professor grew des-
perate. He was about to pass the house
where resides fair and charming dam
sci, and as the professor is single man
he certainly has right to desire making
good impression. Riding along in a
pokey walk was not romantic. He must
get that horse at least into a jog trot. He
experimental.
He borrowed rail from the. lane fence
and as he passed the house, he belabored
his horse vigorously. The pretty girl
stood in the front door. The horse felt
the thrilling call to action. 1t started.
! It moved. It keeled over, and the pro-
| fessor followed suit. The horse, weary
from its magnificent effort, lay still and
George soon extricated himself. A silvery
laugh foated out from the house and the
professor concluded not to stop.
