next day the same performance was
repeated. According to the story
of the :hunte the monster was pro-
badly 80 feet long, with head as
large as an ordinary washtub.
The strange story is credited by
many Eugene people, as in years
past from time to time, this same
creature or others similar, have
been seen in the lake, and the des-
criptlons given by all who claim to
have seen 1T, are precisely alike.
The Indians of the Warm Spring
Agency, who frequently hunt in
that vicinity, often tell of having
seen the mysterious creature dis
porting itself in the waters of the

London, Sept. 12-The feeling

Samurai, whose leading doctrine
is suicide rather than dishonor, it
being the general feeling among at

HIS LAST DREAM.

Upon simple cot of straw
dying prisoner lay.
His form shrunken fra and bent,
His hair was thin and gray.
Upon his faceAthe souls true page,
Where written is lifes ev'ry stage
Stern time had set the stamp of age
That told fe's waning day.
Before his mind passed in review
Years of his erring past;
His eyes were mOist-tears of regret,
His heart beating fast.
Upon his brow the dew lay cold
And now this man, once strong and bold,
Lay trembling with the fear old,
Grim deaths approach at last.
O. that he might but see once more
The world he loved so we'll!
To feel agan-to be enrapt
By freedoms pleasing spell.
To meet again those loyal few,
Who through it all were saunch and true
To see again those scenes he knew
Before he erred and fell.
To hear his father say with pride:
"My son, my noble Roy!'
Or hear his mothers gentle voice:
my little darling boy!"
AS oft she said when to her breast
She clasped him, when he needed rest
And told him that she loved him best.
He was her greatest joy.
The prisoner closed his burning eyes
The picture to retain;
All things around him we're forgot
He boy again.
smile his bloodless lips o'erspread:
Unheeded now the moments fed;
His thoughts-mid scenes of childhood sped
To low. sweet musics strain.
Then suddenly he felt thrill
Pass through his feeble frame
He heard distant gentle voice
That called him by his
And now there fell upon his sight
A glimmering and shining light
Though dazzling brilliant and bright,
He knew not whence It came.
A far-of bell began to peal
sivery, CHEEKY knell-
Those frOwning walls and CRATES of steel
Shook reeed and totteriHg fell.
A vision wonderfully fair
A vision radiantly rare
Came floating through the glowing air
Into his narrow cell.
His heart filed with glad surprise.
He felt sudden joy;
maiden fair stood by his cot
And softly said: "Dear Roy"
Her voice, so tender, sweet and low,
Recalled time of long ago
When he youth with hope agow
Had loved maiden coy.
And now this maid had come to him
His dying hour to cheer;
What mattered now that Death was near
What mattered earthly fear?
For not she-his love of youth
There standing by his side in sOoth?
Yes, it was She amazing TRUTH
The one he held most dear
Old age seemed turned to youth again,
Cooled were his burning eyes.
Forgot were prison rules and laws
Forgot were earthly ties.
Forgotten were both Death and Time
Now let the bells of heaven chime
Two souls cOnjoned in love sublime
Are soaring to the Skies
Upon cherries cot of straw
A lifeleSs inmate lay;
That life seeming useless here,
At last had passed away.
That soul, once stained and stepped in SIM
Through heavens gate hath entered in
To join the throng of Seraphm
In Life's eternal day.

Social Science Club Presents One to
High School Debating Societies.
The Social Science club has offered
a trophy cup to the high school literary
society that wins the inter society de-
bate. 1t is proposed that these debates
be had at intervals and that the win
ming society hold the cup as long as it
can. The cup is beautiful one of sill
yer, mounted on ebony, but has not
yet arrived
The first of the debates for the pos
session of the cup will take place near
the close of the winter or near the
opening of the spring term.
The Social Science club is deserving
of credit for its action, which will
result in arousing renewed interest in
debate, and thus cultivate the forensic
ability of the young people attending
the high school. The study which they
will put upon the subjects under dis
eussion will prove to be valuable por-
ton of their education, not to mention
the practice which it will give in public
speaking.

WATER TO Be TESTED.
Health Officials Searching for Typhoid
Fever Germs


DR.. Beckman, of the state board of
health, returned to Minneapolis yester-
day, taking with him samples of the
water from the well at the Franklin
school, and from several other wells, and
also from the city mains. These will
be tested to see whether there are ty-
phoid fever germs in them. If the germs
can be found, then the cause of the
outbreak will be located and the task
of graduating the disease will be an
easy one. Until the water has been
examined, the well at the Franklin
school and several others have been
condemned. The school is being tenn
porarily supplied with water from the
city mains, hauled in tanks

eide of Miss Babcock to The st. Paul
Dispatch:
Misrepresentation and abiect unwill-
ingness to take cognizance of facts, as
diseases of modern civilization"
Occurrences, that could possible dis
turb our phlegm, fall victim to above, to
deceive us, unless something serious be-
falls ourselves.
Flora /. Babcock is Only poor
woman; woman-that is all. But
let me ask you, how many are there
and men not excluded-with noble OBJ
iect in view, as she had? That love
for fellowmen, for whom she was will
ING to sacrifice her life. Is not that, in
itself, worthy the recognition of the
community that shelters her? In her
letter to your esteemed paper, so bare
of logic as to appear as the product of
an insane mind?
Let us be just-is there anything in
that letter that reveals insanity?
If anything, it reveals nothing but
the sad and hard truth, at the most
prejudiced through injustice and selfish
ness of those that should be beyond re-
proach. True, those of other cities
and our own educational department, as
almost everything else, is not free from
evil influences of politics.
Politics, that should be the means of
seating true men in office of govern
ment, because partisan institutions for
the furtherance of selfshness and greed,
until even the majority of newspapers
have become tools for corrupt purposes,
and with that, cease to be the main
educator of the public in general
While I do not wish to convey the
idea that you have misrepresented in
this case, it instead appears that the
sufferings of one of the so many vic
tins, terminating in an every day oc-
currence, has been misconstrued and
passed off in the easiest possible way.
