Wilson Tells Of Memories.

Fred W. Wilson, graduate of the
class of 81, when called upon told Of
! the very pleasant memories which
clustered about Whitman for him,
which had been sources of greatest
happiness to him while he was at col
lege and in thinking Of them since.
He paid a high tribute to the work Of
DR.. A. ]. Anderson, former presi-
dent of the college, and told the stu
dents how great privilege it was to
go to an institution which had before
them for examples of the lives of such
men as Whitman, Eells, Anderson and
Penrose. Mr.. Wilson, who has the
reputation of being one of the best
young orators in Oregon, made fine
impression on the students and. was
warmly appiauded at the close of his
remarks.

EXERCISES HELD At the colleeE
Professor Walter A. Bratton-
Penrose Presided.

The fifty-seyenth anniversary of the
massacre of DR.. Marcus Whitman was
commemorated by most impressive ex-
ercises at Whitman college this morn
ing. Besides the four hundred stu
dents assembled for chapel there were
a great many visitors. Among the dis
tinguished personages were Jacob A.
Riis of New York and Fred w. Will
son, Whitman 81, of The Dalles,
both of whom made short addresses.
The exercises began with rendi-
ton of Schubert's funeral march by
the Whitman college band. President
ing in prayer he read a scripture les
son, which he said was the one of all
others that must be read on a day like
this, from the eleventh chaper of the
Epistle to the Hebrews.
The college choir of over 20 fine
voices sang a beautiful anthem after
which DIR. Penrose introduced Profess
sor Walter A. Bratton, who gave the
address of the day. The object Of his
talk is best told by repeating his open
ing words.
Bratton's Address.
1--WE are not here this morning for
the purpose of preaching a funeral
sermon nor shall we attempt to preach
the horror Of the terrible deeds of the
massacre whose occurrence 81 years
ago today is the occasion of our meet
ing. Many a man has been massacred
whose name did not live beyond the
date of his death. 1t is the life which
reached it's untimely end in the mas
sacre at Wailatpu, that makes the
date so interesting to us. We are here
to discuss the so called Whitman.
question and to attempt the refutation
of those who would give less credit
to Marcus Whitman than his more
ardent admirers claim for him."
After speaking of the records of the
Hudson Bay company, whose invalu-
able contents just disclosed by Can
adam historian prove the contentious
of these admirers he said: When
this source of material is thrown open
it is difficult to imagine whether the
doubters of Whitman's achievements
will retire, but their remarkable past
agility in similar circumstances leaves
little question but that. they will find
some possible or impossible hypothesis
on which to deny the largeness of
Whitman's manhood and the effective
ness of his patriotism
Speaking of Whitman college and
it's heritage he said: I'VE are in an
unbroken line of succession Of the
men whose lives touched his. Other
colleges have noble foundations; Har-
ward is proud of the patriotic wisdom
of the first citizens of Mass Bay col

Soon afterWard his young wife became
hopelessly insane. Unwilling to be
separated from her by having his wife
placed in a sanitarium, Shock under.
took to care for her at home. Mrs
Shocks mother was getting old, and
he being the only person who could
control his wife, Shock was forced to
give up work and remain with her
constantly day and night Through
II or IA long years he has been the
constant companion and guardian OF
a mad wife shut away from the world
in little house near the Kentucky
river, below MilIville.
During the past winter they and
the mother who has been with them
were reduced to suffering and almost
starvation. The pride of the aged
mother, who remembered her former
prominent position in life when every
wish she breathed was obeyed as
command, refused, even when starv.
ing, to let their condition be known.
Finally the incessant strain affected
Shocks mind, and he began to wander
about the cliffs.
