Nearly Killed.

An accident, which it was feared at
the time would prove fatal, and which
now threatens to develop into into some
thing serious, occurred at the public
school building Wednesday afternoon.
It was during recess, and owing to the
horrible condition of the play ground
the boys, some 200 in number, were
playing ir the basement. A number OF
the older ones were engaged in putting
the shot, an iron ball weighing sixteen
pounds. They had cautioned the other
boys to keep out of the way, but just as
Van Gross, youth OF some sixteen
years, hurled the shot, little Adrian Full
Ter, aged seven, passed in front of him.
The ball struck the little fellow on the
top of the head telling him to the ground.
He was carried to the home of his par
ents who reside near the school, and DIR.
Altman was soon at his bedside. 1t
was found that no bones were broken,
but his face is badly bruised by his fall,
and conclusion may result from the
terrible blow on his head. He was un-
conscious until II O'Clock that night, but
is now doing nicely. lie is nephew of
Mrs J. r. Bryson. His parents came
here from Independence last fall to send
their children to school.

Not From Corvallis.

A fellow giving his name as A. A.
Laskey and coming from Corvallis,
made things lively in the south part of
town Tuesday night. About half past
ten he attempted to enter the residence
of Alfred Wollenberg but was discovered
and frightened away Mfr. Wollenberg
notified Marshal Dillard, who imme-
distely started in pursuit, and found his
man just after he had made an unsuccess-
ful attempt to get into the houses OF
Burr Jones and L. B. Moore.
When Laskey found that he was pur,
sued he took to his heels with Marshal
billiard close after him and the race con-
tinued down Mill street to the tannery,
where Laskey fell and was overllauled
before he could recover himself. The
marshal and Jones both fired several
shots at the fleeing man during the race.
He was lodged in the city jail and will
have hearing this afternoon.
Laskey acted like crazy man, his
attempt to enter Mr.. Wollenberg's resi-
dence was made before the family had
gone to bel, and he continued to kick at
the back door, even after Mr.. Wollen-
berg had warned him to desist. The
chase and fusilade of shots caused con-
siderable excitement along Mill street.

Chemawa.

beautiful souvenir, filled with half
tones of typical scenes and views Of
the institution and interesting informa-
ton, has Just been issued by the United
States Indian training school at Che
mawa, Oregon. This school was estab-
lished in 1880 and was removed to Che
mawa from Forest Grove in 1885. Its
founder was Major M. G. Wilkinson,
who was killed during the recent In
dian outbreaks in Minnesota. The school
has grown from one or two small frame
buildings with twenty-five pupils, to
over twenty large modern buildings and
an attendance OF 400 pupils.
Over 500 Indian youth from various
points in Oregon, Washington, Califor-
MIA and Alaska have been educated at
this institution. The majority OF It's
graduates are now filling prominent
positions in other Indian schools and
are self-supporting citizens of the. Uni
ted States.
The souvenir bears the imprint of the
job Office of Frank Conover, Salem, and
is an excellent piece of work both from a
and artistic standpoint,

muzzle of the gun that the flesh was
burned and the wound filled With bits
of cloth. Mcbride staggered into the
arms Of Allin CHAM, who himself WAS
blinded .y tho explosion.
Fortunately no bones were broken and
his recovery is rapid and certain. The
two others hurried to Halsey with the
wounded man, but three hours had
elapsed before medical aid could be
secured. The wo1ni was dressed and
it was found that the iugular had been
narrowly missed. The patient expects
to be back to school IN three weeks.
There is no student attending the
Agricultural College who commands
more respect from all who know him
than Horace Mcbride, and all will be
glad I'd know that his injury is not more
serious. Admirers OF his football ability
are of the opinion that man can be in
jured when engaged in sport other than

Mrs. Linville Dead.

After a short illness, which was not
Mrs. Clarrissa L. Linville departed this
! life, Wednesday, January 4, 1899, at the
home of her son, in this city.
Clarrissa L. Downer was born in
Marietta, Richland county, Ohio, June
%, 1928. In 1889, she married James
M. Frederick, and five children the fruit
OF this union, survive her. She moved
to Oscaloosa, Iowa, in 1884, and three
years later started on that tedious and
trying journey across the plains for Ore
gon arriving here some months later
settling near Eugene. In 1849, she
passed through Corvallis on her way to
Polk county where she made her home
continuously until 1887, when she came
to Corvallis and has made her home with
her son, w. S. Linville, ever since.
When Mrs Linville first came to Cor
Wallis only three or four families resided
here, among them J. G. Avery, Tom
Read and Haman Lewis.
After the death of Mr.. Frederick, she
was married to Harrison Linvile. pio-

Ralpnie.

Ralphie Daniels, the man with varie-
gated experience and an altitudinous
past, turned up in Corvallis, last Satur-
day afternoon direct from Manila, and
flushed with the knowledge of Dewey s
victory. Ralphie, called "Tex" by the
vulgar, has been making history since
he left Corvallis two years ago. When
he had sufficiently recovered from his
fall out of well, he assumed religion,
and later entered a Portland hospital to
study to be nurse Here he fell vic
tim to Cupid's wiles and was married
But married life was too lettering for
Ralphie, so he enlisted in the navy at
Mare Island last May and went aboard
the training ship Independence. When
the Charleston went into commission,
tried and true men were needed and
Ralphie was selected as member of her
hospital corps and went to Manila on
that vessel. After reaching Cavite and
familiarizing himself with Dewey's
future plans, Ralphie was unfortunately
taken i'll and the government considered
it advisable to return him to San Fran
cisco. About this time yellow journalism
had tired of its attack upon Alger, and it
Immediately turned its attention TO our
hero, and it was partly to disprove fabri-
cations from this source that he returned
to Corvallis. His honorable discharge
was received last December and it is
signed by Lieut. Com. Adams and Capt.
Kempff, of the Independence Ralphie

arrayed in the regulation fnery of the

A Good Name.

Tile Glee Club returned home Satur-
day from their holiday tour. Wherever
they appeared the papers spoke in high
est terms of their efforts and behavior.
The following from the McMinnville
Transcript is but a sample of these com
ments:
"One thing that can be said of the O.
A. G. students who gave their entertain

they are gentlemen. Another is that
they put up one of best evenings enter

WELL in fact, the boys are all right and
need not be ashamed to come back to

may well feel proud of extending them
the hearty welcome they did"

Regents Meeting .

The semi-annual meeting of the boarC
of Regents OF the Oregon Agricultural
college took place on Wednesday last
and the following members were present
Messrs. Apperson, Killen, Church, Supt
Irwin, Pague, Yates, B F. Irvine, DAILY
Hillary, Ready.
After the regular routine business was
disposed of the report of the committee
ON the new armory building was accept
ed and approved and the contractor was
released from the penalty attached for de-
lay in completing the contract. The ac-
ton of the committee on the new build
ing in course OF construction was APP
proved.
The following resolution was passed
which practically does away with the an
nual election OF the faculty:
''The board of regents shall select and
appoint president of the college and
director of the station and vice director
and all professors, teachers and assistant
teachers deemed necessary by them and
fix the salary receivable by each. Such
appointee shall hold Office during the
pleasure of the board and shall be re-
moved by the board at any time. the
salary of any appointee removed by the
board shall cease from the date of such
removal"
Mr.. Ready offered set of resolutions
of respec. for the memory OF Senator
Morill recently deceased, who was the
father of agricultural colleges. They
were adopted by standing vote and or
dered printed.
The salary of the secretary of the
board was fixed at $500.
The president of the board was auth
orized to make known to the legislature
in the way he thought best the serious
needs of the college and to ask them to
provide the necessary funds to meet
them when the bord adjourned.

Shot While Huntin g.

While extremely humane and over
sensitive people are discussing the mat
ter of presenting a bill to the legislature
to abolish the desire on the part of the
younger and less morbid people to play
football, it might be we'll to petition that
body to forbid the use of fire arms by
sportsmen. That is, if their opposition
to the games of football is inspired by
the numerous accidents resulting from
his-this-brutal pleasure, and it seems
to be.
Horace Mcbride, one of the best
known and most brilliant players OF this
exciting game, who gained his reputa-

here was soft and slippery, and as Ror-

toward him. His feet slipped and he

Pub1ic School Matters.

Another move has been made in the
matter of increasing the room at the
public school building Nothing will be
done to relieve the present crowded
condition until next vacation, but at a
meeting held by the school board Mon
day night it was decided to submit a
plan to the voters of the district at a
special election to be held January 18th.
This plan is the Zone adopted at the re-
cent public meeting, and is presented in
Difference to the citizens who proposed
it, rather than as a hobby of the COM
mittee appointed to suggest Il solution
to the problem. This plan is to increase
the room by change of partitions on each
floor of the north wing so as to make
six rooms out OF four, as outlined in
last weeks UNION. Should this PROPOSE
tion be rejected by the voters, at the
regular meeting in March other plans
will be suggested and offered to the
school patrons
The board discussed other questions of
Importance at this meeting, which will
be submitted to the people. Whether or
not a one and two-tenths mill levy
should be made to pay for the new sys-
tenn of ventiators and other improve
ments to the building last summer Will
be left to vote. The question of levy
ing Il one and one half mill tax this year
for the payment of one of the outstand-
ing bonds will be decided also at the
special election. The interest on the
outstanding debt is payable semi an
nually and aggregates $7S0. This re-
quires levy of one and one-tenth mills
and the proposition to authorize this
tax will be voted upon by the people
! January 18th. Voting upon this latter
question is only matter OF form, how
ever, as the board is obliged to pay this
interest and the voters will authorize it.
