How 1t Will be Done.

The Knights of Pythias of this
city are making arrangements for
the entertainment of visiting
Knights on the occasion of the
district convention which is to b.
held i'll this city Feb. 22. The
Knights of the Maccabees have
very kindly placed the Odd Eel
lows hall at the disposal of the
Knights of Pythias on this ,occa-
sion, it being regular night for
the Maccabees to occupy their
hall.
By this arrangement the K. of
P. buys will have two halls at
their disposal. At 8 o'clock in
the evening a public entertain
ment will be given in the Odd
Fellows hall to all Knights and
their invited friends. This will
last for an hour or two, after
which the hall will be cleared
preparatory to competitive team
work between the various lod ees
of the district.
1t is expected that this work
will take until or 3 o'clock in
the morning. In the meantime
preparations will be made in the
K. of P. hall for a grand banquet
which will be given at the con-
clusion of the team work. AL.
together, the session, entertain
ment, team work, and banquet,
will occupy the entire night it
is thought.
Prizes will be given to those
who lead in all competitive work
and will consist in jewels, swords,
tgravels, etc. The strongest team
in competitive drill will have the
honor OF representing this dis
trict at the meeting of the Crane
Lodge held in Portland during
the Lewis and Clark Exposition
On account of occupying th'
post of host, the local lodge i
barred from participating for an,
honors, but our boys have wol
efficient laurels in the past t.
forego any desire to achieve dis
tinction On this occasion. Prepa
rations will be. made to enter
tain about 200 Knights.

Make it Realistic.

Fred R. Drew has conceived
an idea which he thinks, will,
if carried out. draw attention
to the Lewis & Clark Exposition.
We adopt his plan, but pro-
pose some amendments. The
following paragraph will give
some Mea of what he advocates
"Fred R. Drew writes to the
Exposition management from
New York City that he is engag-
ed in an attempt to reach and or
ganize the better element in the
East who look forward to going
West, and he proposes a unique
and original method in promot-
ing semi-fraternal organization
to be known as t'Westward Ho
Crusaders. 50 Two divisions will
be formed of Atlantic and Pacific
Coast people, and a part of the
plan is to drive prairie schooner
to this Coast from the East, fol.
lowing the route covered by Lew.
is and Clark 100 years ago."
This is all very we'll, but why
not make it realistic? Suppose
that arrangements be made where
by a horde of Apaches coule
swoop down with a whoop ane
a dash upon the little band o
"trailers" and secure a few scalps
IF all details were given careful
attention, as per amendment, w
think that in the way of adver
tising the Exposition nothin.
more could be desired.

Mass Meeting Tonight.

A. mass meeting of all citizens
is called for tonight by the stu
dents of OAC. The meeting
will be held at the court house
and will be called to order at 7:3o
O'Clock. This is a demonstra-
ton of the earnestness of the stu
dents in their endeavor to erect a
Christian Association building
adjacent the college.
The meeting is called that our
citizens may he given an oppor-
tunity to express themselves OH
the subject, make contributions,
or suggest ways and means for
raising funds. "What assists the
college benefits the town." is an
old and true saying, and if we
can secure a proper environment
we may expect even a greater
number of students than OAC at
present has enrolled. This will
help the town. Our business
men are sagacious and wise
enough to see the matter in its
true light and will, beyond doubt,
do the proper and liberal thing.
Many business men of the city
have already signi6ed their, will
ingness to assist in substantial
manner, and many prominent
members of OAC's faculty are
cooperating heartily with the
students in what they have un-
dertaken. Something like $8,-
900 have already been subscribed
and the building is now an assur-
ed thing. Beyond doubt the ed
ihce will be erected this summer.
That this meeting will be an
enjoyable one is evidenced by the
fact that the musical and orator.
ical forces now under control o1
those in charge of the union
meetings in progress at the Pres.
byterian church will attend and
contribute to the enjoyment ot
the evening. Be sure to attend

epigram, as well as enigma, about " Bed -;
Formed long ago yet made to-day
And most employed when Others sleep
What few would wish to give away,
And none would wish to keep"

Probably the best riddle or rather enigma,

cerned IS the following, which when it first
appeared was credited again and again to
Lord Byron, but it IS known that it was
written by Miss Catherine Fanshawe:

THE LETTER II
''Twa .cltlispered in heaven, Twas muttered
And echo caught family the sound as it fell;
On the confines OF earth twas permitted to rest,
And the depths of the ocean its presence
confessed
Twill be found in the sphere when it's riven
asundcr;
Be seen in the lightning and heard in the
thunder;
Twas allotted To man with his earliest breath,
1t assists at his birth and attends HIM in death,
Presides DER his happiness, honor and health,
Is the prop Of his house and the end OF his
wealth;
In the heaps Of the miser its boarded with care
But is sure to be lost in his prodigal heir;
1t begins every hope, every wish 1t must bound;
1t pravs with the hermit, with monarchs IS
crowned;
Without it the soldier, the sailor, may roam,
But woe to the wretch who cXpels it from home
In the whisper Of conscience it's sure to be
found,
Nor cen in the whirlwind Of passion IS drowned;
Twill soften the heart, but, though deaf to
the ear,
1t Will make it acutely and instantly hear;
But in short let it rest like delicate flower,
Oh. breathe on it softly; it dies in an hour
Another in the same vein and almost as
well put Is far too good TO remain uncredited
and unclaimed but such has been its fate

NOT A DELIBERATE INSULT.
Jap Attack on Americans Work Of
Crazy Mob.

Toxic, Sept. 13.-Some American
press comments attributiug the burn
Ing of churches as an insult to for
,eignsrs and an outburst of anti-foreign
sentiment have been received here
With profound regret and surprise. An
Associated Press representative has
anterviewed On this subject an old
diplomat and old statesman under the
old cabinet, whose name is withheld
.by:request. He said:
Japanese youths and the lower
.elssses are peculiarly excitable. No
case Of rioting passes without collat'
soral issues which have no concern
~whatevsr with the primary object Of
the rising. The unfortunate occur
rences against the churches and
American visitors is one of many sim.
silar instances. In moment of excite
'meut the rioters are apt blindly to
.seek objects of mischief, not consider
ling whether their relation is tangent
with the first cause,
"Rloters have no power OF discr1m-
1nation between foreigners of various
nationalities. The unfortunate occur.
renee In regard to the American Wis
itors was not deliberate insult to
them as citizens of the United States.
They simply were made target by
m excited, crazy mob" s..

VESSEL TOOK LEADING PART IN
PRINCIPAL SEA BATTLES OF
RUsso-JAPANEsE WAR.

Toxic, Sept. 13.-The navy depart
ment announces that the battleship
Mikasa, Admiral Togo's flagship. has
been destroyed by fire and the explo-
sion Of her magazine, causing the loss
Of 500 lives, including men of other
ships who went to the rescue.
The fire started from an unknown

rescued the fire reached the aft maya.
zine, which exploded, blowing hole
in the port side of the vessel below
the water line and causing the ship
to sink.
An investigation is now being held
to determine the cause OF the fire.
The Mikasa was first class battle
ship of 1920 tons displacement. She
was built in England and was launched
in 1902. The battleship was 400 feet
long, had a speed of over Is knots
and carried a crew Of 935 officers and
men. She was heavily armored and
carried four 12-inch guns, fourteen g.
inch guns, two 12-pounders and num-
Der of smaller rapidfre guns. She
had four submerged torpedo tubes.
The Mikasa was the flagship of the
Japanese navy, flying the flag Of Vice
Admiral Togo, the commander-in-chief.
She was present at all the principal
engagements during the war and was
on several occasions reported severely
damaged in action. In the battle OF
the Sea OF Japan she led the feet into
action and her name was mentioned
in connection with some of the most
stirring events of this famous sea
fight In this battle the Mikasa was
the heaviest loser of all the Japanese
ships, having sixty-three killed and
wounded. She approached nearer to
the Russians than any other battle
ship. - *
The Mikasa was also the flagship of
Admiral Togo in the great naval bat
tie fought of Port Arthur on Aug. 10,
1904, on which occasion the Japanese
flagship also suffered the most, but
continued in the fighting line. On
that occasion the Mikasa had 4 Off
GERS and 20 men killed, 6 officers and
20 men severely wounded and 4 OFF,
GERS and 20 men slightly wounded.
