RECEPTION TO STUDENTS.
To Be Given at the Corvallis
Churches Tuesday Night.

On Tuesday evening, October
9th, the various churches of the
city will give a reception to the
students of OAC. From s to
1890 every church will be open
to receive and introduce the
college students and it is earnest
ly desired by the church people
that ell may attend. 1t is not a
UNCONVENTIONAL meeting but it
has been planned by the minis
ters and young people Of Corval-
lis, and in this manner you may
select your own church affilia-
tions while here. You will be a
great help to them and it is
hoped they may be of assistance
to you.
1t is certainly gratifying to
our people to see the harmoni-
Gus action ON the part of our
ministers as they work together
in perfect unity along all moral
and social lines,' laying aside the
petty rivalry that is sometimes
the prevailing spirit in men of
small caliber. We believe we
voice the sentiment Of the entire
community when we say that
never have we had better class
of men representing the various
churches of the city, and to their
noble action is largely due the
friendly spirit among our city
churches.
Young man! Young ladyl At
tend these receptions by going
to the church of your choice,
thus putting yourself on record
as well as becoming acquainted
with class Of people that will
prove beneficial to you in the
building and maintenance of
your moral and spiritual char
acters. You will be royalty en-
tertained and will go away, feel
ing that the people Of Corvallis
are your friends.

Director of Illinois
Central Ry. Co.
4 LEADING MERCHANT or US.
Multi.Millionaire and Head of
50 or 60 Departments With
Marshall Field & Company.

Chicago, Oct. IA. Especial. -
John q. Shedd, president of the
fir.n of Marshall Field & Co.,
has consented to accept a posi-
ton on the board of directors of
the Illinois Central Railway
Company. His election for a
term of four years will take place
at the annual meeting of the
company here next Wednesday.
He will succeed James DeWolf
Cutting, of New York, who will
be ousted, because of his support
of Stuyvesant Fish in his fight
with Edward HI. Hartman for
control of the road. Mr.. Fish
has disposed of nearly 81, ,240,-
600 worth of stock par value and
over 100000 market value,
and Mr.. Cutting has sold approx
imately $4,000.
The elimination of Mr.. Cut
ting practically removes the last
vestige Of Fish's influence on the
board"
1t is perhaps known to COM
paratively few in the community
that John G. Shedd is the broth
er of our fellow townsmen, S. l..
and E. N. Shedd.

Co., however, of which Mr.. Shedd
has long been the master mind,

John G. can tell of his genial
traits and the uniform courtesy
with which he greets all who
can get into his circle. When
you learn that he is usually sur
rounded by so to 60 heads of de-
partments, in their mammoth
establishment of $4,000 people,
you may know that the merely
curious have no chance to occu-
py his time.
AS much as fifteen years ago,
Marshall Field said of John G.
Shedd that he believed him to
be the best merchant in the
Uuited States. This to com nit
tee of the United States Senate,
from Mr.. Field, was great praise,
indeed.
Mr.. Shedd has been much
written of, his biography has
been traced by numerous maga-
zines and dailies. He is one of
the great multi-millionaires of
the country, the greatest mer-
chant prince in the world today
and looks just like his brothers.

Mr.. Thomas Speed, pardon attorney

"About rs per cent of felons are un-
trained in any honest Or useful trade; !;
most criminals are thieves; men, for
the most part, who try to get living
dishonesty because they have not
learned to get it honestly. They steal
who have not learned to work. An

useful, and profitable occupat ton would
give to all who wanted it trade, and
would make of the next generation of
of Americans the most productive and
the most lndustrially efficient race
the world has ever seen. believe
that every criminologist will agree
with me when l say that for every

saved in the lessened cost of crime.

Day to Give Thanks

Thanksgi living day for 1903 will have
come and passed before the next issue
uf The Leader. There Is certainly
much, tor which we should be thank
full as a nation. There has been peace
and plenty during the year. and the
trend morally and spiritually has been
upward and no great disaster has be-
fallen US as people, so as a natiCn.
we can give thanks from the fullness
of the heart. AS individuals, our
thankfulness will depend entirely
upon our views Uf life. Many have
been prosperous in a material sense,
others in a spiritual Sense and many
denied the blessings of either, largely
through their own short t-comings, 9TH
ers by reason of the unfriendly envl-
ronments IN which misfortune has
placed them.
1t has become day of fessting
rather than for the expression of
gratitude for blessings received; and
even the unfortunate have reason to
be thankful that their condition is nU
worse: and it will be well on that
day, the one day of the year, for those
VINO have an abundance of the good
things of life, to remember their less
fortunate neighhors: "As ye did 1t
unto the least Of these my brethern
ye old it unto me.
