The editor is almost covered up with work this week, the business manager being away, therefore “judge not.” The discussion on Public Im provements last Sunday evening was right to the point. The future looks bright for Silverton if all will do what they can easily do. The big ’bus starts to run this morning from the Torch of Reason office to the University grounds. Students must be at the office on time or get left. Last trip, 8:45. One of the interesting things about our University is our reading table, which is nicely managed by the librarian.

She was a warm friend and sup porter of the Liberal University and a subscriber to the Torch of Reason. Both have, by her death, met with a loss that is deeply felt. Mrs. McKay had a life of many changes, which tested the strength and worth of her character and her devotion to the Liberal cause. She was horn in Missouri, May 5, 1844. She crossed the continent in the early fifties and settled in Marion county, Oregon. She was married to Leander K. Smith, who met with death by an accident in 1896. She was married to her husband, who now survives her, in January, this year. Wherever she has lived, and Mr. A.

Another musician was added to our corps of teachers this week. Those wishing to take lessons on the violin will find Prof. G. Cooley at the University Saturdays at 9 a. m. and Wednesdays at 4 p. m. Music is harmony; harmony is heaven. A good Christian of Silverton knocked a creditor over the head with a big file the other day when he called for money. The good Christian man has cheek enough, but he don’t like to turn it also. A law suit will settle this “two-bit” scrape very nicely.
