BORROWED ELoQUENcE
Winner of Cash Prize at College Dip

Corvallia Gazetke

Corvallis Gazette.
Last spring the Alumni Association, Of
the agricultural college, voted cash
prize OF $50 for the bett oration by a
student in contest to be held during
the commencement exercises. The
faculty gave a second prize OF $25. The
orations were to be judged on the
thought, expression and delivery.
Originality was given possible 40

Of thought and expression were profes.
sors in the state university, Willamctte
university and Monmouth normal
school.
Among the aspiring students in the
contest was Thomas Medley, OF Cottage
Grove. 1t was rumored that some OF
the faculty chad it in for him." and the
popular sentiment Immediately flowed
to his support When the contest was
held the house was packed, and Medley
was cheered to the echo. His Grafton
had already been graded very high by
the committee on thought and express.
ion. and his delivery was excellent.
He won the $50 with ease and went
home nor did he return to school the
next term.
1t has since been learned that some
dead and gone statcsT an really won the
prize, for Medley bodily stole his ora.
tion. TWAS found in az old volume by
one of the professors 1t appears now
that some OF the faculty suspected from
the fret that the oration was not
original, and Medley, knowing these
suspicious, was clever enough to appeal
to the popular sentiment, on the ground
that "the faculty is prejudiced." No
proof of the suspected borrowing could
be found at the time, and Medley cap.
tured the glory and the cash. He has
probably spent the cash and he now
loses the glory.
The honors Of the first prize will now
be conferred on the winner OF the second
prize, Miss Holden or Miss Burnett, but
the money has departed forever.

MoseaovE LOSES THE LAND.
And Alonza w. Knots Gets tn,
Farm.

BTfIts
Washington, Jan. 27.-Secre,ary OF the
Interior BIiss has affirmed the land.office
decision in the homestead contest Of AL.
onzo w. Knotts vs. William Mosgrove,
from the La Grande district, Oregon.
The record in the case shows that Mos
grove made entry for the land on Sep
tember 8, 1893 On October 4, 1893,
Perry Knots filed q contest alleging
priority OF settlement. The local Office
rendered decision in favor of Knots,
but, upon appeal, the general land Office
reversed their opinion and held Mos
groves application intact.
On December 3, 1895. the departD snt
rendered decision affirming the latter
decision, and the case was finally closed
June Is, 1896.
In the meantime, September "a, 1895,
Alonzo Knots filed contest against
Mosgrove's entry, alleging that defend
ant had never resided upon or cultivated
the land as required by Law. The local
Office rendered decision recommending
cancellation of Mosgrove's entry. The
decision was affirmed by the commits
sioner July %, 1897. An appeal by
M0sgFoye 10 the department alleges that
il was error to find against Mosgrove
and, further, that the local Office wae
without Jurisdiction to try the case, and
that the order for trial was premature.

Will Fight Yellow Jack.

Washington, July 15.-(Special.
While it is true that yellow fever
has broken out in the neighborhood
of Santiago, it is still confined to
refugees and other camp followers
who have come in contact with them.
The latest dispatches report that
there are no cases among thetroops
and the surgeons hope to keep them
isolated from contagion. Every
possible precaution notonly against
exposure but in water and food is
being taken, camp hospitals are be
ing established for the refugees and
others who have been exposed, and
vigorous regulations will be en-
| forced.
Regarding the future ofSantiago,
nothing has been officially stated,
but it is significant thatorders were
issued from the department yester-
day afternoon to prepare the first
and second regiments of volunteer
immunes for immediate departure
for the front. This would seem to
be indicative of purpose on the
part Of the government to garrison
Santiago with sefever-proof men,
thus permitting the removal of the
regular troops to more healthy
points.

April is the month made notable by
great events in American history. The
first great struggle for American lib
critics broke into hostilitles at Lexing-

April, 1775; the war between the con-
federate states and the United States

April, 1865, came the surrender Of the

took part in the engagement with the
ram Arkansas, which came out Of The
Yazoo river, passed through the feet
and took refuge under the batteries Of
Vicksburg. July 10, 1862, he was com.
missioned as neutenant-commander
and transferred to the steam sloor
-Iiconderoga, Of the South Atlantic
blockading squadron, and took part in
the two attacks on Fort Fisher, De
cember. 1864, and January, 1865. He
was also engaged in the naval and land
attacks on. Fort Fisher of January is,
1861 and the bonn bardment of Fort
Anderson, in February of the same
year. 1t will thus be seen that Ad-
miral Sicard had the advantage of sery-
ice throughout the entire war from
1861 to 1865, and that his career was one
of uninterrupted success and rapid pro
motion. Since the war he has com.
manded both ships and fleets, deserved
in every station where the American
navy has been represented. He has
served in the naval academy at An
napolis as an instructor, and as the
head of the ordnance bureau in Wash.
