Opinion Of It.

The annual game of football be
tween OAC and U. of O. occurs at
Eugene week from next Saturday.
An excursion train is to run from
Corvallis, leaving in the morning
and returning after the game, with
low rate for the round trip.
Speaking of the game, the Oregon
ian says in Mondays issue:
Whatever the outcome of the
Willamette Oregon game may be
the big game of the year among the
colleges of Oregon is the annual
struggle between the University of
Oregon and Oregon Agricultural
College. For the past three years
this annual contest has been grow
ing in popularity, until it now riv-
ais the Stanford Berkeley game.
1t has been suggested that the Ore
gon-Corvallis game be played on
Multnomah field this year, and the
suggestion seems timely, for the
game Is coming to be great draw
ing card, and if played in this city
would prove a great money maker.
This year game however will be
played on Kincaid field, Eugene, on
Saturday, November 18th, and from
tile interest already manifested,
i there will be a record breaking at
tendance: The Corvallis people
will run a special train to Eugene
on the day of the game, and Steck-
les players will have the support of
400 well-trained rooters, headed by
the college band. Not to be out
done, the Varsity students have
organized rooter's club as well as
a band, and it seems certain chat
there will be roofing galore.

as we'll as college prize, runs high
in both the state institutions, and

coin of the realm.
The Agrics have not defeated
Oregon since 1897, but this year
under the efficient coaching of DR.
/ Sickle, they are out for revenge.
With such players as Captain Roo
and Williams, the speedy halfback
Abraham, the "human piledriver'
: at fullback; Dow Walker, the big
center rush; and Cooper, the cracl
end, the Oregon players will hav'
a bunch that will keep Latourettt

faster. Laurence, left tackle of th

WRECKED A TOWN
A Tornado Sweeps Over Lewis
burg, Minn., Injuring Seven.
One Man Was Blown Out of His
Cyclone Cellar.

St. Paul, Mimi, March 2S.-A dispa tch
from Appleton, Mimi, says that of sew
en- persons injured as a result of a tor
nado. which destroyed the village of
Lewisburg, one is fatally hurt. Every
business house in town was either de-
molished or badly damaged and most
of the houses in the Village were un-
rooted.
From Breckenridge on the Waterloo
branch of the Great Northern, a relief
train was dispatched to Lewisburg as
soon as news of the storm was receiv-
ed.
Most of the people escaped serious in
jury by getting into their cellars. Fred
Moen. who was in his cellar, was car
ried 200 feet and though seriously in
jured, will recover.
The tornado was preceded by hail.
It is not believed that much damage
was done outside of town.
The Interstate, Northwestern and Nc
Caull Webster grain elevators were de
molished and their contents were scat
tered over miles of ground.

SMEDLEYS IN COURT.
Joseph Wells Doesn't Appear But
suit lsn'S Dismissed.

Lincoln, Neb., March 2S.-The plans
of the Smedleys, Scott and Edith, in
ducing their angel, Joseph Wells to
refrain from appearing against them
in the prosecution brought by the
state of Nebraska against the pair for
the alleged fleeing of Wells to the
amount of $4,000 are not so sure of
fruitiOn as the Smedleys have hoped.
The Smedleys arrived from Denver
this morning to appear in Justice
stephens court to resist the charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses The pair would not register
at any of the hotels and spent prac-
tically the entire forenoon in con-
sultation with their attorney, T. J.
Doyle, denying themselves to all in
reviewers
The case will not be called until
late in the afternoon. Attorney Doyle
admits that he has an affidavit signed
by Wells in which the latter deposes
that he began prosecution under a
misapprehens and absolving the
SmedleyS from wrong doing.
This affidavit Attorney Doyle will file
with the court, and ask for the dismiss
sal on the ground that the complainant
witness is not present in court to press
the case. By this means Wells, who has
staid in Denver at the behest of the
Smedleys will escape the forfeiture of
his bail bond, which he gave Saturday
in order to get the two defendants out
of Sheriff ResS' custody.
County Attorney Caldwell although
chagrined by the strange conduct of
Wells in signing the new complaint af-
ter having secretly made the affidavit
setting forth the pretended innocence of
the Smedleys. declines to outline what
course he will pursue. He will. how
ever, resist the application for a dis
missal of the case and will likely move
for a continuance on the allegation that
there is a conspiracy between the de-
PENDANTS and Wells to obstruct justice.
He declares that he has a card up his
se-1, IL Id
prise to the defense.
Under the Nebraska statutes a prose-
cution of Wells is possible on the
charge of compounding a felony.

sHUNGANUNGA SUBSIDIES.
All the Danger of an Overflow Has
Passed.

The Shunganunga at 1 O'Clock today
had fallen about two feet and a half
and no danger is now apprehended from
an overflow. Biddle creek at Sixth
street overhowed its banks but the pro-
perty adjoining was not damaged and
the water soon rece6ed. A number of
the bridges. suffered from the effects of
the high water. The Sixth street and
the Eighth street bridges over the
Shunganunga were damaged consider
ably. The street commissioner had his
force employed the whole of the day in
repairing the damage inflicted. Rock
was placed along the ennbankment and
some rip rap work placed in position to
protect from washing. The bridge at
Seventeenth street and Monroe across
the Shunganunga was reported this af-
ternoon as in need of attention. The
telephone was kept busy the whole day
at the street commissioner Office in
asking for attention to repairs. A large
number of bridges over culverts were
washed away and had to be replaced
The abutment Of the Sixth street
Shunganunga bridge fell in this after
noon.
There has been trouble with the Fifth
ward sewer, several caveins having
been reported this afternoon.

IN RECEIVERS HANDS.
Part of BooIxIOvers' Library Strikes a
judicial Snag.

Philadelphia, March 2s.-Five con-
Germs allied with the Booklovers' and
Tabard Inn library, of which Seymour
Eaton is president, were placed in the
hands of a receiver here today by the
United States circuit court.
The establishments affected are the
Philadelphia Book Store company
Tabard Inn Press company. TaOard-
Druggists Specialties company, and
the Tabard Inn Food company. The
liabilities, according to President
Eaton's statement, are less than $780,
These assets, Mr.. Eaton says, are by
the nature of the business scattered
from Seattle to Atlanta and from
Boston to Santa F'e, in more than D.
900 cities, as well as on scores of
trains and ocean steamships.
Judge Holland appointed John H
Sinen, Charles Megargee Lewis and r.
Thornton Eaton receivers Of the Phil
Press, fixing security at $125,00o for
the three r. Thornton Eaton was
named as receiver for the three other
concerns. with security at $4,000.
Among the plaintiffs are the J. B.
Lippincott company, the Macmillan
company and D. Appleton & Co.
Counsel for the creditors state that
the action is an amicabIe one, in an
ticipation of the reorganization Of the
company.
Although the five allied concerns of
the Booklovers Library scheme have
never started up in business in To-
peka, they have cut a wide SWath III
eastern cities. Seymour Eaton was i
great plunger, a reckless schemer,
and a good advertiser. He had an
idea that he could cater to an ex-
elusive trade in pretty nearly ali
branches of merchandising, in the
same way that he had swept the
country with the BoOklovers and Ia
bard Inn schemes. The Tabard Inn
Food company was an institution de-
voted principally to selling tea, coffee
and spices. Tabard Inn stores were
opened in a good many cities, espe-
cially in the east. where goods, put up
in very attra ctive wrappers, were SOLD
at a big price. The Tabard Inn Drug
gist Specialties company had new
tangled kind of tooth powder on the
market, together with a few other al
legged discoveries of great virtue. The
other Tabard Inn schemes were of
similar general nature, the purpose
being to sell things to exclusive
patrons
The collapse of the five "alIied" en-
terprises of the Eaton system indi-
Gates that the industry is not panniDg
out as well as the inventor of the sys-
tenn had hoped. This will not occasion
any particular surprise in Topeka.
where the concern has seemed to be
losing ground for some time. Several
years ago, the Booklovers Library
made a great spread in this city, and
a good many people were found who
were willing to put up the large fees
in payment for the privilege
of getting brand new books to read
But the competition of the free public
libraries in this city seemed to be too
strong for the Seymour Eaton scheme q,
and it gradually limited its quarters
and facilities until at the present time
it is merely using one book case in
drug store. and is supplying
its list of customers from this place
as Headquarters.

TO TAKE 1T OR NOT.
Meeting to Decide About RockefeIIer's
Gift to Missions.

Boston, March 2S.-The question of
accepting or rejecting John D. Rookie
felIeI's gift of 100000 to the Amer
lean board of commissioners for for
eign missions was the principal busi-
ness scheduled to come before the
meeting of the prudential committee
of the organization today.
The widespread discussion which
followed the formal action taken by
Congregational, cIergymen in various
parts of New England last week in
protesting against the acceptance of
the gift because of objections to the
alleged business methods of the
Standard Oil company created great
interest in today's meeting
Dr. James l. Bartonell. foreign Sec
retary of the American board, said
today that already $41,50 of the gift
was in the treasury and the question
to be decided at today's meetings was
therefore whether this amount should
be returned or whether it should be
retained and the balance accepted.
