ADAM RAD,R.
Buried Yesterday Something of
His Life Told in Brief,

The funeral @ the late Adam
RadiF, who di, at his home in
this city TUE sd-v night at nine
O'Clock. occurred from the Epis-
capal church We. terdav afternoon
At two O'Clock, The, services be-
ing conducted bv Rev. Arm
strong, rector. The remains
were inferred in Crystal Lake
cemetery beside those of his wife
who died last January. Mr..
Radir had been very i'll for two
months with Brights disease and
during that time was unable to
lie down A week ago he was
confined to his bed and death
came TO his relief Tuesday right.
D ceased was born at Grossbie-
hs rsu, Germany, July 2o, 1890.
He learned the blacksmith trade
at which he worked until he
entered the army, serving three
wears in the barracks and on the
field. He was a very successful
master mechanic, and believing
that greater opportunities awaited
him across the water he sailed
for the United States in 1852,
becoming acquainted on the
ocean voyage with Miss Margaret
Lieson. a native of Irland, to
whom be was married in 1876 in
Pittsburg.
: MI. and Mrs. Radir later came
to Oregon, purchasing 181 acres
OF land one and a half miles east
of Corvallis, known as the Radir
homestead. They acquired other
property in later years, the place
now comprising 2o3 acres.
The survivors are three daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Richard Graham and
Mrs. Millie Smith of Corvallis,
and Mrs. Stephen Whitmore of
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Radir was an honorable
citizen, and that he was Of a gen
erous, kindly nature was shown
in the grief of numerous little
children who mingled their iears
with those of their elders over
the passing OF their friend-Adam

Famous Play Coming.

One of the events of the theat-
rical season WILDE the appearance
of .'Under Southern Skies"
on November 14th. The play
is in the authors most delightful
vein and when it is remembered
that Lottie Blair Parker, who
wrote Under Southern Skies, also
wrote Way Down East, much
may be expected.
''Under Southern Skies" is
full of life, light and gaiety,
and fills the audience with the
spirit of youth and romance. The
great beauty of the. scenic set
tings, the dainty costuming, the
many amusing and diverting
characters and incidents, the
absoLing love story, the Hal
lowe'en celebration and pumpkin
dance, all go to make "Under
Southern Skies one of the most
delightful and satisfying enter.
tainlnenss now before the public.
The company is ry,large num-
bering in all twenty-three acting
people, the unusual number of I I
ladies appearing in good parts.

II zing,

There was a hazing a =.
great University of California the
other day. There the editor of
the college publication dared to
criticise the use ct cigarettes by
the co-eds and a crowd OF stud
ents inveigled him from his
home, everpowereo him by force
of numbers and heaped upon him
the crowning outrage of college
hazing.
In commenting editoraliy on
the matter the Portland Journal
throws another 'bouquet' to
OAC in the following paragraph: e:
"The Berkeley incident recalls
the late manly action OF the stud
ents at the Oregon Agricultural
