Anna M. Lewis.

| Miss Anna M. Lewis, who for twenty
weeks of intense suffering has patiently
and uncomplainingly waited the final
summons, departed this life Thursday
Feb. 9th, at her home near this city
Miss Lewis came to Corvallis from
Lodi, Wisconsin, in 1894, with her
parents, Mr.: and Mrs. Jas. E. Cronk.
Their move to Oregon was made in the
hope of improving Miss Annals health,
but consumption had fastened itself upon
her, and relief only could be hoped for.
Twenty weeks ago she was confined to
her bed. All that medical aid and loving
friends could do to relieve her suffering
and comfort her fast waning life was
offered.
Miss Lewis was member of the fresh
man class of the O.. A. c., and stood
high in the admiration and esteem of her
classmates, who loved her for her gentle,
womanly disposition. She was apt in
her studies, and bright and winning
in her conversation.
The funeral services were conducted by
DR.. Thompson at the family residence,
Friday morning at 10 O'Clock, and the
interment occurred at Crystal Lake GEM

| The Valentine party given by the
Ladies Coffee Club, at Fireman's hall
Tuesday evening, was largely attended
and is said, by those who were fortunate
enough to be invited, to have been the
most successful and enjoyable social
function given in Corvallis in years.
The ladies were dressed la Martha
Washington, while the gentlemen ap-
peared in old colonial costume powdered
wig, knee breeches, great buckles and
all.
A great banquet OF the Loyal Legion
was given recently at Manila. General
Anderson was chairman of the committee
on arrangements, and selected Major
Eastwick as one of his co-workers. The
major was asked to provide a guard OF
honor, consisting of one sergeant, three
corporals and nine prIvates. He was
informed that men of the best appearance
were required. Corporal F. L. Edwards,
who resigned his position as professor in
the o. A. G. to join the volunteers at
Manila, was one'o those selected as the
guard of honor. The three generals
present that night paid the guard
most fattering compliments AS General
Reeves started to leave the building he
stopped before the sergeant, eyed all the
men critically and said: Sergeant, that
is the finest guard ever saw, regulars or
volunteers" This is not the first instance
in which the college has had reason to
be proud of its representatives in the
Philippines.

The Two In One.

The Corvallis Gazette, one of the old
est republican weekly new spapers in the
state, announces that it will suspend, the
subscription list being absorbed by the
Corvallis Union. Nearly So years ago
the Gazette started in Corvallis and has
been during most of the time ,epubli-
can paper. At one time, about the mid
die '60s, DR.. j. L. Hill was one of the
editors and proprietors of the Gazette.
At the time of Lincoln's assassination,
Ben Odeneal and DIR. Hill were owners
and publishers, with Rev. B. F. Boyakin,
editor. Two or three years afterward
VIM. Carter, ex-state printer, bought the
paper and turned it into Good Tenn
plar's paper, it being the state official
organ of that society. About 1866 Carter
was attending a temperance meeting in
Portland and left DR.. Hill, who was
foreman, in charge of the office for one
issue. During the week word reached
Corvallis that California had gone demo-
cratic. 1t was a splendid opportunity
for some sport, so DIR. Hill turned it into
straight out and out democratic paper
for that week. Carter came back post
haste from Portland, his wrath aroused
to fever pitch by the sudden change.
1t aroused the whole temperance element
in the valley and Carter received many
warm letters from Good Templars. Carter
worked several weeks before he had the
matter back to quiet state. The prom
inent democrats in Benton county,
among them being the late Judge
Strahan, VIM. Gird and Jas. Hamilton,
enjoyed the joke immensely and never
tired of tormenting Carter about his DEM
ocratic paper. When Carter would be

The Oratorica1 Contest.

I The oratorical contest, to determine
who should represent the o. A. G. at the
Intercollegiate contest ewhich occurs a
McMinnville, March 10th, took place a
the college chapel last Friday evening
A very large and enthusiastic audience
greeted the contestants, each one O
whom seemed to have nearly an equa
number OF admirers.
The JefFersonian orchestra introduced
Z! the program with an excellently rendered
selection. This and all following num-
bers by this organization were credit
to the college and the performers.
Mr.. E. B. Aldrich had taken for his
subject "Henry George Its treatment
showed much study and careful prepara-
ton, but it is subject which gives little
opportunity for flights of oratory OF
rhetorical fourishes. Mr.. Aldrich is
forcible in delivery, but he has not yet
acquired the ease, grace, and dramatic
power of the orator.
Something pleasing and artistic was
expected when Miss Lulu Spangler began
her solo-a simple love song-and all
that was expected was realized.
''The Handmald of Civilization was
the theme chosen by Mr.. w. l.. Patterson,
and so ably did he handle it that he was
declared the winner of the contest. Mr.
Patterson's success, however, was due to
his excellent control of his voice and
pleasing delivery, rather than to his
treatment of his subject. The O. A. C..
has never sent an ADLER representative to
a state contest, and if he fails to win at
McMinnville the fault will lie more in
his paper than in his delivery.
Miss Idella McBride's Grafton, ssThe
Women of Our Country" was splendidlyf
written, and told an interesting story
the part taken by women in the building
of our country and her influence in Its
affairs.
Miss Constance Holland delighted the
audience with vocal solo which she
rendered with excellent taste and ex-
preston.
The Grafton ''The Golden Age," in its
style and treatment showed Mr.. Lawrence
Stovall to be possessed of more than
ordinary literary ability. A few more
years experience and this young man
will prove dangerous rival for aspirants
for oratorical honors at the o. A. G..
That Miss Leona Smith had the best
paper, taken all in all, there is no doubt.
Enthusiasm was her subject and it's
style, originality and argument were
bright and clever. Her delivery was
spirited and nicely suited to the matter
but she has not the rich voice
nor splendid power displayed by Mr..
Patterson.
After thirty minutes of deliberation the
judges, Mrs. B. F. Irvine, Rev. Murphy
and Jno. Burnett rendered their decision
awarding the prize to Mr.. Patterson
He was given rousing cheer of en-
aud every student in the
college will support him ardently in the
coming contest xd

Work of County Court.

The resignation OF H. r. Carver as
constable of district nine was accepted.
A new road district, designated as
three, was on petition of Fehler, Parker
and others, established from territory
embraced in 10, 80 and 81.
The petition of Finley Fullerton and
others, asking for consolidation of road
districts AZ and 20, and the remonstrance
OF F. A. Deickhoff against same, were
continued.
The bond of Sam'l Kerr and the motion
of Ellsworth Post, undertaking the care
of INDECENT soldiers, were filed. The
bond is for $500 with w. T. Small and
S. A. Hemphill as sureties.
One hundred and seventy-two dollars,
including 20 per cent. penalty, was paid
by Bellfountain Fruit Association for the
redemption of property purchased by
Benton county at tax sale in February,
1897, on account of 1895 taxes, and the
clerk was instructed to cancel Benton
county's certificate for the same.

Tragedy at Manila.
Manila, P. l., Jan. Z, 1899.

Manila, l.. l., Jan. 1879
! UNION: =
There was tragedy in the Oregon regi-
ment last night. Lee Moore, 1st Serg't
of Co. L was shot by a sentry, Albert
Papst, OF Co. M, and died few minutes
after The sentry but did his duty, and
strange carelessness on the part of the
dead man and an officer who accompa-
MED him brought about the shooting.
Papst was on guard at very i'm
portant post, large magazine at the
wall near our quarters, and the guards saw
two men supposed to be natives, lurking
around their post. They refused to halt
and the guards opened fire, but the
providers apparently. escaped. The firing
was heard at our quarters and it appears
that Moore and an officer went, out of
curiosity, to see the excitement. The
sentries we're still watching for the men
they had fired at when Sergeant Moore
dropped over the wall and within 20 feet
of Papst, who called halt and almost at
the same time fired, shooting Moore
through the body. He could not, as
a soldier, have done otherwise. No one
but guards or officers of the guard are
allowed near the magazines even in day
light, and as he knew the person he saw
could not be a sentry, the only con-
clusion Papst could rightfully draw was
that the man was there for mischief. A
sentry, especially at such an important
post, must decide on matters of doubt
in favor of the defense of his post. And
the officers and men while deeply re-
gretting the death of Sergeant Moore,
commend Papst for doing his duty.
Isdid not know the dead sergeant, but
all the men in his company speak of
him in the highest terms.
.Papst was one of the recruits and
enlisted in Co. NJ, at Woodburn, when
most of the recruits from Corvallis en-
listed. He feels very. badly and even
the thought that be could not have
rightly done otherwise fails to console
him.
It is said that one of the natives shot
at was killed and fell into the moat, and
a detail is looking for the body.
We are in readiness for orders to move.
We do not know where We will go, nor
when, nor even that We will go at all,
but the officers evidently anticipate some
change.

c. G. Hogue's Opinion.

G. G. Hogue, of Albany, who was for
twelve years auditor and general passen-
ger agent OF the Oregon Pacific, was
asked his opinion as to the probability
OF the extension of the Corvallis & East
ern (the present name of the old 0. P.)
says the Sentinel, and he replies that
"a great deal depends on the action of
congress in regard to the building of the
jetties at Yaquina bay. A former con-
gress provided for the extension of these
works for distance of 1000 feet on each
side of the channel, but the sum has
not yet been definitely set apart and so
the work lags, although the contract has
been let to Chicago parties for some
100000. Unless Yaquina bay can be
made safe harbor for vessels drawing
% feet, Mr.. Hogue thinks, there will be
very little use in extending the Corvallis
& Eastern further eastward. The length
of the road is now 145 miles between
Yaquina City and Idanha station, in the
Cascade mountains. The road has been
surveyed eastward from this point across
the state, to form junction at or near
Huntington, but no work has been done
on this portion OF the road since 1887.
A great deal of timber and wood is now
being hauled over the road from the for
ests of the Santialn, but this constitutes
the bulk of the business on the east end
of the line. Mr.. Hogue thinks that the
Yaquina harbor has already been much
by the jetties thus far con-
structed. There is now % feet of water
inside the bar at high tide. where there
was formerly depth of but Is. Six feet
added to this depth will make quite a
seaport of Yaquina bay, and CONT
mental railroad, he believes, would soon
follow the attainment of this depth. The
railroads now in exist
ence are therefore opposed to the further
of Yaquina bay, in Mr..
Hogue's opinion, and this accounts in at
degree Tor the opposition to
extension of these jetties during this
erm.

THE KILLING op FRENCH OFFICERS
by Members of An African Expedition
of InllnNu rnnnf Try rnnn-

by Members of An African Expedition
of Fellow Countrymen.
Paris, Aug. 22.-M. Decrais, minister
Of the colonies. has received a dispatch
from the governor general of French
West Africa conforming the story Of
the killing of Lieutenant Colonel Klobb
and Lieutenant Meunier, by members
of a French expedition, under the con-
duct of Captains Voulet and Chanoine,
in the French Soudan.
1t appears that on meas being re-
ceived of the barbarity of the Voplet-
Chanoine mission towards the natives
on the march toward Lake Chad, the
Dupuy ministry instructed Lieutenant
Colonel Klobb, who was at Hayes. to
proceed with column, overtake the
mission, investigate the charges and
assume command. On July IA the Klobb
party overlook the mission at Timber,
near Domanger. Lieutenant Colonel
Klobb sent word to Captain Voulet.
who replied that he would shoot him
ii he advanced. Notwithstanding this
threat, Klobb advanced and made him
self known to Voulet, who ordered him
peremptorily to stop. This order was
disregarded and when the Klobb party
was within a hundred and fifty metres
Of Voulets troops, the latter, OH his
order, fired three volleys, which were
followed by Independent firing. Lieu
tenant Meunier fell dead. Lieutenant
Colonel Klobb, wounded in the leg by
the first volley. was dispatched by be-
ing shot in the head
Voulet then ordered a bayonet
charge, and the remainder of the
Klobb column fed, carrying their
wounded and leaving, beside the two
officers, nine men dead The survivors,
ten of whom were wounded, reached
Bosso. under command of a native
sergeant.
The Voulet-Chanoine mission has
taken to the bush, but according to the
advices received by M. Decrais, a
strong column was to be sent in pur-
suit.
Captains Voulet and Chanoine have
both had distinguished careers in the
Soudan. The mission, now outlawed,
consists, besides the leaders, of Captain
Joualland, Lieutenant Pallier, DR.. Fan
ric and two French sergeants. The only
explanation of the affair is that Cap
tain Voulet has become mentally af-
fected by the climate.
