A Pleasant Surprise.

On the 18th. of last June the
Corvallis camp of M. w. A. visit
ed Monroe camp and conducted
themselves in such a manner as
to cause the Monroe boys to
determine, at the first opportun-
ity they would even up. The
opportunity came Saturday night
Monroe swooped down upon the
the Corvallis boys and under
took to do them up. There was
little indication of there purpose
for the work Of the camp went
on harmoniously. A number of
candidates had ridden the goat
and the business of the evening
was about over when the invaders
made their assault. Their leader
bore a beautiful silk banner
showing the emblems of the
order and in a few we'll chosen
words presented it to the Cor
Wallis camp. Our boys were off
their guard, and were completely
surprised, almost paralyzed.
Dilley was the first to regain
composure and in neat speech
mingled with surprise and
pleasure he responded and ac-
cepted Monroe's handsome
gift. Meanwhile others of the
home boys had been busy and
a bounteous banquet was spread
to which all did justice. Then
followed music; storytelling and
a social good time until the
hands on the dial pointed to
midnight. The evening was
voted a great success. The
visitors were: Matt Wilhelm,
George Looney, Fay Porter, H.
St. Clair, C. o, Piel, J. M.
Heron, C. Cartwright, J. B.
Slipley, Tim Bowling, J. E.
Looney, w. H, Schuette, Fred

substantial and in harmonious &C
cord with the advancement of the
city socially and industrially. He
is one of those men whom to know
intimately is always held in the
highest esteem. His life has been
above reproach, his example and
influence have always been exerted
for the exaltation of those he served
and his departure leaves a vacancy
that only time and association can
fill. A wide circle of friends very
much regret to see Mr.. Moore and
family leave Corvallis.

WHERE is OUR LONGING?
Time was when from far and near,

Time was when from far and near,
Through the length aud breadth o
our State,
There was many a loud hurrah and ring
ing cheer,
Our people doing homage to thci.
chief magistrate.
The Southern breezes, blowing through
the long leaf pine,
Bore his fame to every shop and field
And watt it to the people on the fal
Northern line;
And brilliant as the sunlight was the
glitter of his shield.
The boast of heraldry, the pomp oil
power,
We're his; nor needed he the things
that should be forgot,
His heart was filled, his head was
swelled by the glory of the hour,
And little cared our governor great for
''cx-Confcderate rot"
Far to the North his fame was told,
And welcoming with o~utstretched hands,
The Yankees said Like Diana of old,
Great is Longino of the Mississippians."
Alas the meteor fell, the bubble burst,
and the spell was broken,
o tell us, wintry wind, so cold from
Northern sea,
Canst thou from all thy wanderings
bring us no token?
Canst tell us ought of our lost Longino?
Oh where is he?
Tell us thou myriad electric wires,
Der whose netted routes the mystic
sparks unceasing glow,
That time and space are not, and moth
ing hides from thy mystic fires,
Canst thou tell US ought Of our Longino?
Tell us, thou mighty railways,
Over whose miles he did so freely go,
Where to, in these later days,
Hast thou borne our LONGING?
Alabama, has he crossed your border?
He has left us, and we loved him so,
Pray, canst thou by some secret order,
Give us back our Longino?
And thou, old board of Jail control,
The State farm waits his order its crops
to SOW,
He bought its corn and its cotton sold,
Canst thou tell us oughto of our LONGING?
Tell US, thou soft loving Luna of the
night,
Hast the full light and soft rays of thy
bow,
Sought everywhere throughout thy
flight,
And in polite mist didst see our Lon
gino?
Tell us, who dwellest on yon howery
shore,
Do the warm winds that from the South
seas blow
The old secrets of forgotten Indian lore
Watt to our listening ears no tiding of
III Longino?
Thou mighty river whose threatening
floods ne'er cease,
R%cmemberest thou the man of might
who a year ago,
Upon thy muddy banks with hand out
stretched babe thy food decrease,
Canst tell us if any mingled waters
beareth tidings OF our LONGING?
Tell US thou Great Mistake who holds
McKinley's place,
Hast thou sent him to rule the Filipino?
Then have pity on that oppressed race,
And give us back our Longino.
Tell us, thou Governor in his stead,
Thou who gardest the great seal of
State,
Thou hast see the secret places where
he fed,
When thou earnest, whittier went our
chief magistrate?
Aged man, wise and honored in the SEN
ate hall,
Thou cast him from ambitions height to
his depth of woe,
Thou vast there and saw him fall,
tell us where is our Longino?
