Looking For "the Crazy Ottos." A woman got off a Darby car at Thirty-fourth street and . Woodland f avenue the other day, entered tbe uni versity campus and started toward College hall, walking with brisk deter mination, yet looking wonderingly about her tbe while. In front ofthe library a university youth met ber. and she accosted oim quickly. . "Young man,", she said, "will yon please tell me where they keep tbe erazy ones?" "Wh-wbat?" stammered the college man. She repeated her question in some what different form. "1 want tbe Insane department," she said. "1 have a friend who Is a nurse there. 1 thought I'd make ber a little visit Isn't this the Philadelphia hos pital r-Phlladelphia Times. .," A Grewsomo "Charm." One of the most grewsome "charms" is that which was at one time exten sively used us a cure for wens. The band of a dead criminal still banging had to be rubbed three times over tbe wen. A correspondent tn London Notes and Queries some few years since wrote that many persons were then living who in their younger days bad undergone the ceremony, always, tbey maintained, with complete suc cess. "On execution days at North ampton." he adds, "numbers of suffer ers used to congregate around the gallows In order to receive the 'dead stroke,' as it was termed. At the last execution which took place in that town a very few only were operated upon, not so much in consequence of decrease of faith as from the higher fee demanded by tbe hangman." 0rOOOOOOOO .. , . o & SOCIETY V o o o o o o o o v ide most elaborate card party of the summer commonly known as the "Silly Season," and perhaps as fash ionable as any function arranged this year, occurred Friday afternoon, when Mrs. T.

The Oregon Glee and Mandolin Clubs, which have appeared in La ! Grande several times, will In all probability be here again this fall for one of their popular entertainments. j Thomas A. Burke, president and leader ! of the club the past year, spent last Sunday In Baker City conferring with I Manager Sweek of the Glee and Mando j lin clubs, who spent a few days at i that place looking after the prospects 1 for an eastern Oregon trip during the ' Christmas holidays. Last year the Dish Pan Sale 75 cent Old English J Granite Dish Pans, on sale This week for 39c Dalton' s land, with as many of the valley towns as the faculty will see fit to grant. Most of the old men on the glee club will be back In line again, as far as known at present. The sad drown ing In Portland recently, of Samuel Davidson, who has led the baritone section for the past three years, leaves a Vacancy in that row, and in all probability two first tenors, a second, and to basses will be selected at the tryout held the first week of col lege. From that time on until the middle of December theclub practices two hours each day, and with so many old men In the line. It Is need less to say the concert will be the best ever given. Mr. Burke, who is spending his va cation at work on the Observer lioQn type machine, has taken part in two Oregon Glee club concerts in La Grande In the past three years. He shared the embarassment of the Ore gon lads in 1897, when the 0. A. C rooters at this place, dropped a Cor vallls banner from the wings above the stage, much to the delight of the audience. The following year, how ever, the Oregon songsters turned the trick in a very fitting manner, and evened up the good-natured rivalry that existed Ibetweent the followers of the ;two colleges. It Is hard to predict what'wfil happen-at this year's con cert much depending on how Oregon and C6rvalll8 show up In football tat coming season.
