Captain Wells Lecture.

The college chapel was filled with peo-
pie on Saturday night, the occasion being
the lecture OF Captain Harry l.. Wells,
on the Philippines.
The lecture was full of interest to those
present. A large number of views were
shown. embracing every view of life in
the far away Islands. The lecture was
filled with interesting anecdotes and facts
regarding our new possessions, and
proved very profitable evenings
entertainment.
Captain Harry Wells was commander
of Company L, and was gallant officer.
He was slightly wounded at one of the
hottest engagements, but is very mod
est and talked of the Yalorous deeds of
others but not his own. His lecture and
war views taken on the field showed tbe
movements of the Oregon troops from
the time they left Portland, scenes while
crossing the ocean to Manila, and in ac-
ton in the campaign which is now a
part of history. The facts and incidents
told in Captain Wells lecture were the
true revelation of facts and were just
what the people wanted to hear, aud the
large SPLENDID views thrown on screen
by good stereoptican made the lecture
doubly Interesting.
Every one present was very glad to
have had the opportunity to attend such
an instructive and intensely interesting
description of the part the famous Ore
gon regiment bore in the war in the
Philippines.

JUST ABOUT FOOTBALL.

1t was rather loud crowd, yet mer-
ry one that filled two cars on the G. & E.
last Saturday afternoon and were trans
ported from Corvallis to Albany, to wit
ness game of football between the Sal
em and Albany teams. It was also a
loud crowd SO far as yelling and blow
ing tin horns was concerned, that assem-
bled on the field and cheered Willamette
to victory. From all indications, Salem
had much the stronger team, and not un-
til the close of the second half was she
given much to do. The game resulted
in a score of Is to in favor of Salem.
Arrangements have been made for prac-
tice game between WiIlamette's team
and the OAC on the latter's grounds to-
morrow afternoon.
The football game last Saturday in
Portland between the Multnomah club
and the Indians, resulted in a victory for
the former, the score being Is to 0. The
next game of Importance will be between
the U, of @. and the Indians. The game
will be played in Eugene next Saturday,
and it promises to be close and hard
fought contest. Chemawa will strength
en- her team greatly, by the addition of
two Carlsyle players and the heavy weight
Pattee, who did not play last Saturday
The Indians will come to Eugene after
the scalps of the varsity men. The lat
ter are working hard under Coach Simp-
son and will go into the game with their
old-time spirit and determination.
Old Willamette is once again number
ed with the kickers, says the Statesman.
The old-time enthusiasm that formerly
existed has, apparently, again invaded
athletic circles at Willamette University.
Daily the campus presents a scene OF
great activity among the veteran foot
ball players of the Institution and anna
teur aspirants for untitled assignments
on the team, which will represent the
school in the league games of next
month, are many. A. r. Oliver, who
was recently engaged as coach, is expec-
ted to arrive on the Oregon express to-
morrow morning. when training will be-
gin in real earnest. Willamette will this
year be represent ed by good team.
Among the veteran players, who will be
members of the team, may be mentioned
Savage, Young, Williams, Bishop, Judd,
Olinger, Sanders and Holt. There is
plenty available material for the remain
ing positions on the team and strong
fight will be made for the pennant. On
next Saturday the team goes to Corvallis,
where in the afternoon match game
will be played with the state agricultural
college team. The Willamette Univer-
sity team will play its initial game of the
intercollegiate series on the following
Saturday, November 11th. The opposing
team will be the Pacific University team
of Forest Grove.

A Unanimous Verdict.

Reports from all of Oregon's principal
towns agree that they are prospering as
they have not done for years, if ever be-
fore. From booming Baker City and
smaller Ontario, in the extreme eastern
edge OF the state. to Astoria and Tilla-
NOOK. on the western coast; from the
Dalles, overlooking the Cascaded Column
bia, to Ashland, the metropolis of the
fruitful valleys of meuntain-encircled
Southern Oregon; from Pendleton, in the
midst OF its tar-stretching and fertile
fields, to the towns of remote Klamath
land, the story is the same: Town grow
ing, business good, no vacant stores or
houses, sllools crowded. everybody at
work if he chooses to be, and with money
unless through his own fault, population
increasing, plenty all around, loads of
money in the banks, poorhouses vacant
and jails nearly so. From whatever
town man comes, he is ready to declare
that this is the best conntry on earth,
that Oregon is the best state in the Union
and that he lives in the best town In the
state. And, barring little possible and
pardonable exaggeratien in the latter
statement. he tells the truth.

Spooks And Spirits.

Halloween has come aud gone and as
usual the spooks and spirits that are
wont to rove about on that particular
night made their appearance in Corvallis,
though the deviltry they did this time
was of much milder form than usual.
This was due to the fact perhaps, that a
stricter vigilance over gates, fences,
woodpiles and old sidewalks was kept
than common, and to the effect produced
by the intelligence being noised about
the day before that the nightwatch would
be assisted by dozen or more black
horse deputies on Halloween night. A
few sign boards were exchanged, and
quite string of sidewalk was overturned
in Jobs Addition. Out at the COLLEGE
Wednesday morning, gravel wagon
was found posing on the big rostrum in
the chapel. How it got there no one
seemed to know, but it was there and
the janitor found it necessary to employ
the aid of large force of men to get the
wagon back down the stairway. There
were pigs too in some of the recitation
rooms squealing impatiently for their
breakfast when the professors came to
take charge next morning. Other mis-
chief was done over all parts of town,
but it was light and no one seems sorry
of it.

Ladies Only.
PROPER CARE OF THE FEET.

Few persons realize what serious re-
suits follow failure to properly care for
and clothe the feet. Not more than ten
women out of every hundred, if as many,
| are free from corns, bunions, or ingrow-
ing nails or some form of trouble pro-
duced by ill-fitting shoes.
The foot is a complicated structure,
every bone, joint and muscle having a
| definite purpose in giving support and
poise to the figure. When shoes do not
fit the feet because of being too tight, or
too loose, or not shaped to allow the
muscles normal play, not only do the
feet become deformed and covered with
painful growths, but the carriage of the
body loses grace and elasticity.
Proper care of the feet is simple
enough. 1t begins with the right shoe.
The correct shoe is the one that fits tne
foot according to its natural structure.
A shoe that is toe large is just as bad
from every point OF view as one that is
too small. A well-ftting shoe holds the
foot firmly, yet allows muscular freedom,
and gives sufficient length to save pres
sure upon the tees and joints.
The manufacturers of Jennes Miller
Shoes for women have achieved tri-
umph never be fore attained. They have
made handsome shoe that looks fine
and attractive upon the foot and meets
the requirements in every single partic-
ular of foot covering designed accord
ing to natural structure. This is a gem
timely hygienic shoe. Nor have they
taken advantage of public necessity a
crying need for health and comfort, to
over-charge for this shoe which gives
relief from suffering,

EDWIN YOUNG LIBRARY.
Tie Astorian Proposes to Erect a Monu
ment to The Fallen Hero.

Tie Astorian Proposes to Erect Monu-
ment to The Fallen Hero.
Among the many brave boys of the
OAC who joined the ranks of the volun-
teer, left home and loved ones to go far
away across the sea and fight for honor
of Old Glory, was Edwin G. Young, of
Astoria. And he too, was among those
noble young fellows who gave their lives
for their country and humanity.
The people of Astoria, through the
efforts of the Astorian, of that city, are
endeavoring to raise a fund to purchase a
| library to be donated to our agricultural
college, and to be known as the Edwin
lC. Young Library. No movement
could be more worthy, and no move
ment will touch the public, patriotic
heart more quickly, or with deeper
feeling of the realization of its worth,
| than.this one of erecting lasting monu-
ment to the memory of one of those
whose life-blood was spilled in fighting
for the glory and honor of humanity
and of the American people in particular.
We are glad to see the people of As
toria enter this work with such a spirit
of patriotism and determination. The
agricultural college while located here
and while it receives at all times the
hearty support of our town people, does
not belong to Corvallis. It is state
institution aud is for the use of her peo-
pie, and this memorial movement in
honor of one of her sons, should and
will receive the united support OF Ore
gonians in general, for it will be
monument that will bring to the minds
of the thousands of students who will
enter its walls for years to come, the
deeds of fallen he.o of the institution.
The Astorian speaking editorially,
says:
The proposed Edwin G. Young me-
mortal commends itself to the people of
Astoria. We, have every reason to be-
lieve ia honoring his memory, to recog-
nize and appreciate the self sacrifice of
one of our own boys, and the form of
the proposed memorial will meet the ap-
proval of sentiment and Judgement.
The fact that the library which it is
proposed to secure is not for Astoria,
marks it generous free-will testimonial
and adds to it's value as monument to
a fallen hero. The people of Astoria
have no selfish thoughts in honoring the
the memory of an Astoria boy who all
unselfishly gave his life to his country.
AS years pass the number of young
people who make use of the library will
swell into thousands and they will be
young men and young women who are
striving to make themselves useful men,
bers of society. They will largely be of
that class who must make their own way
in the world. In their constant associa-
ton with the books thus provided they
cannot help drawing some patriotic in
spiration from the knowledge that anoth
er Students death as a soldier gave the
library to the college.
The Astorian feels that the matter has
but to be presented to the people of As
toria to insure.the unqualified success of
the testimonial. We are not unmindful
we are not forgetful of our own heroe
who deserves to be remembered. We
have only awaited suitable opportunity
for expressing our appreciation and the
opportunity is here.

Mr., Con Sullivan and Mrs. Maggie
Fox were married at the Catholic rec
tory Tuesday evening by Rev. L. Me-
tayer. The ceremony, while short was
impressive and was witnessed by the

the popular superintendent of the Cor
Wallis & Eastern railroad company and
stands high in the community as citi-
zen and business man. The bride has
lived in Albany nearly her entire life,

MANY ATTENDED.
The First School Officers Convention A
Great Success.

The First School Officers Convention
Great Success.
The frat School Officers Convention
ever held in this county, and perhaps in
this state, convened in this city last Sat
urday. Although it being very busy
time in the year, a fair audience ofdirec-
tors and clerks were present. By this
meeting was proven that successful,
and interesting meeting OF the school
officers of the county could be held
Every subject taken up was discussed
with life and enthusiasm. at no time
during the day did the interest lag,
These meetings are what has long been
needed in the school work of our state
The assembling together of the school
officers of our county is bound to diffuse
new ideas, new interest among the school
officers. They create bond of interest
which will in turn increase the efficiency
of the officers, and improve the work of
the school. The above meeting was SO
profitable and interesting that Supt. Dem
man will hold another convention during
next June. The following program was
rendered: &c How Can the Director Help
the School?" by Director, FL. M: Finley.
"Our Compulsory Law of Education. " by
School Clerk, T. p. Conner; Board
Meetings by Director Morris Wyant ;
The Objects and Benefits of a Scheo
Convention" by Director DR.. r. o. Log
gan "Our State Course of Study" State
Supt., Hon. J. Fl. Ackemran. Supt.
Alderman in his excellent talk presented
the merits of the recently prepared state
course. He desires to connect the inn
preston that change in text books
would occur in 1900, because no change
will be made until 1901. Also that Steels
Physiology and Hygiene in the eighth
years work in the state course, should be
Smiths Elementary. In the supplement
tary reading books, this plan was to have
the districts buy these books and thus
begin to create school library in each
district.

Formerly a Corvaf1isife.

The following letter from Rev. Louis
Albert Banks, who many years ago was
Corvallis pastor, and who is now pas
tor of First M. E. church, Cleveland,
Ohio, is strong endorsement of Miss
divers ability:
Having heard the most famous read
ers of the present day, take pleasure in
saying without hesitation that Miss
Katharine E. Oliver has given me more
pleasure as reader and impersonator
than any other I have ever heard. She
is a rare artist who will give unmeasured
delight to the most critical audience"

Located at Lebanon.

DIR. Blake Cauthorn has opened den
tai parlors in the city of Lebanon. When
he severed his relations with the popular
firm of Cauthorn & Taylor, and left this
city several months ago, Corvallis felt
that she was losing gentleman whose
professional services would be greatly
missed, and whose place in social way
would be hard to fill. Lebanon may
now congratulate herself that she has
profted by our loss.
DIR. Cauthorn has had wide expert
ence as mechanic, and his natural
skill in dentistry is supplemented by a
pride in his work which impels him to
never slight.
He has been raised in Benton county,
and everyone esteems and respects him
for his gentlemanly demeanor and ex-
cel1ent qualities.

The entertainment to be given at the
opera house this evening will doubtless be
one OF the finest ever offered in Cor
wallis. 1t is said that Miss Katherine
Oliver, of Boston, is very superior elo-
cutionist and impersonator and delights
her audience with her rare recitals and
character sketches. Popular prices
25 and 35 cents.

officiating. Friends of the family are
respectfully INVITED to be present. In
terment will occur west of Odd Fellows
cemetery.
The Kingston (Ont.) Times says of
Miss Oliver in her presentation OF the
Little Minister" "Miss divers powers
had not been overrated. Her presenta
ton OF Babbie was especially well done.
Her mischievous and playful air and her
coquetry at first in her dealings with
Gavin, and afterward the more sober
and unselfish mood born of her love for
him, were wildly presented. Nanny
Webster going to the poor house, the
pleading tones of Micah Dow sobbing on
the hill, and the ssLittle Minister" giving
his commands to his people are worthy
of special mention, as showing her
powers of acting and in the last of ven
triloquism." Miss Oliver will give the
Little Minister" at the opera house
tonight.
