ORATOR SMITH WON.
BEAT DOWN ALL OPPONENTS
THE ORATORICAL CONTEST
AT EUGENE.
IN
Is no Longer a Young Thing
O. A. C. Man Got Fourth Place
A Twelve Hours' Wait
for Train and a Si rike
Afterward Other
News.
A man 30 to 40 years of age. and
seven years a preacher of the Gospel
' won the first prize in the slate ora
tjncal contest at Eugene. It is no
fault to be advanced in years, but
b till its funny for an old fellow like
that, to go up against lads and las
ses of 19 to 20 in an oratorical con
test They say that the mies who
took second place in the same .con
test has filed application for the a
ward of the old gentleman's prize
on the ground that the figuring was
wrongly done, and that a recount
correctly -made, would give first
place to her, and second to him.
She ought to withdraw the contest
on account of the respect due to
gray hairs. Any man who ws with
Noab in the Ark, so to speak, ought
not to be disturbed in the lawful
possession of any prize that has fal
.. lea t'i him. There if something
grand in the contemplation of one
who helped to build the pyramids
and who was for some time a mum
my himtelf, and the venerable Mr
Smith ought to be let alone in the
enjoyment of bis prize. Anybody
who hasn't any more appreciation
of a grand old ruin or an antique
relic than o seek to rob Smith of
his honors ought to be kicked out
of the oratorical association, provid
ed she be not a pretty young maid
en, as is the case with the young
woman who thinks she ought to
have Smith s place.
The accounts' are that Friday
night s contest was a howling suc
cess. Ninety peopl9 went up there
from O. A. C. and the hoarseness
, they (nought back with them
proves the quality of the howling.
Their orator, who was Guy E.
Moore,and whoEe subject was "Ol
iver Cromwell, the Man cf Actioo,"
took fourth place in the assignments
that the judges mads. The latter
were, on composition President Da
vid Starr Jordan of Stanford, Pres
ident Benjamin Ide Wheeler of
Berkeley, and President Penrose of
Whitman college. Tbird place was
taken by the State University ora
tor, and first by Erastus Smith, of
McMlonville. Albany college took
seven'h place and Willamette Uni
versity brought np the rear. Next
year's meeting of the association oc
curs at Newberg, and l? to happen
On the last Friday in January, or
two weeks earlier than has been the
custom. No age limit was added
to the by-laws at the business meet
ing, and the contest is still open to
people of mature years and orator
ical turn of mind. If, by any new
discovery of science it becomes pos
sible in the near future to resusci
tate the dead, Patrick Henry is to
' be brought forward and scheduled
to represent O. A. C. next time.
In the afternoon at Eugene the O.
A. C. and the University basket
ball team locked horns for a second
time, and it was with difficulty that
the college men won out. In a for
mer game they defeated the Uni
versity men in a score of 32 to 2,
but in Friday's game, play ended
with a score of 24 for O. A. C.
and 22 for the University. The
game was played in a room less
than half the size of the Armory in
which the college men practice,
which placed them at a great disad- j
vantage. The person el of the col-j
lege team was Pilkington, center;
Rinebart and Steiwer, guards, and
IMopres and Stokes, forwards. .'
. It was after 7 p. m. on . Saturday
;tfhen the Corvallia contingent
reached home. Their last hours in
Eugene were mostly marred by a
desire for something to eat anda
fear to go down town after it, be
cause .the train might leave them.
They were due to leave Eugene for
home at 3 a. m., but the train that
was to bring them tore into the
rear end of a freight train a few
miles south of the city, and failed
to appear on schedule time. The
Corvallia push, however, boarded
the coaches at 3 a. m. and began to
wait. Daylight came but no train
had yet appeared. The travelers
dozed in their seats and nursed an
inexpressible desire lor food. ' Not
many of them went down town for
" breakfast because the railroad men
said the train might be expected

any time, litue oy iitus mo mum'
ing wore away and then it got to be
noon, and still the train didn't
vcome. It was three o'clock in the
- afternoon of a Very, very long day
hn at last the bell rang and the
train steamed out. -,
-At. Albanv. more trouble over
took them. Things like that never
coma singly. The C. and E. pas-
senger had long ago departed. A
special train could be had for forty
dollars, but some of the travellers
said their tickets ought to take
them witho it extra money. They
didn't care for the fifty cents, they
sud, but they didn't like the prin
ciple involved. A life-sized strike
broke out, and for a time the di
lemma was a bigger thing than that
caused by the delayed train. Sev
eral made speeches in which the
railroad men were denounced as
grinding monopolists and incubu
ses, whils other orators, in efful
gence of eloquence knocked the or
atorical contest of the night before
silly as they defended the railroad.
At last, hunger, loss of sleep aud
weariness prevailed over oratoiy.
and eighty people marched into the
waiting coaches, paid their fifty
cents each and rode home on a sps
cial. The others, to the number of
three carriage 'oads, came home by
private conveyance.
lbe thougbtfuioess of one young
studeLt has been tne subject of com
ment. He suspected that the young
ladies of the party might, by . the
long delay and added expense, be
in financial straits, and he went a-
mong them kindly offering to sup
ply fiotn his own well filled purse.
such as might be in need of assist
ance.
The Eugene Guard, commenting
on the contest, says:
"The orators as a group of speak
ers were below the average. There
was indeed, a painful lack of bril
liance and natural delivery. Stud
ied movement, anticipated and of
timea awkward gestures, unskilled
use of the voice and poor platform
presence would fit the majority'of
the orators. The papers were quite
well written. The winner, Smith,
deserved first place in composition
but in the judgment of the audience
he was behind U. O., 0. A: C. and
Newberg in delivery.

There was a double wedding

Lafayette, Or., March 14. Tom
Hodson, of La Fayette, has been
converted from the sock-leg and tin
can method of hiding money, and
now patronizes a fire and burglar
proof bank vault. It is' said he had
been laying by a portion of his
wages for some time, intending to
use the money for the purpose of
moving to California. He had saved
$420 in gold, and for extra safe
keeping he took up a board from
the floor of his house, dug a little
hole in the ground and planted his
savings, some time ago lorn made
the discovery that his money was
missing. He and a few intimate
friends pursued a still hunt for a
clew ta the mystery, and meeting
with no .access, the loser was bord
ering on nervous prostration. The
loss became known, and one day
last week a friend said he would
like to dig for the treasure. He did
so, and soon louna mat a mercena
ry 20th coutury gopher had dug up
under the money, which had drop
ped down into the gopher hole,
whence it was all recovered. It is
needless to say that Mr. Gopher
won't do any more such rich min
ing under Tom Hodson's house.
Sumpter, Or., March 14. Jesse
Simmons, a miner, whose home is
at Mayville, Or., suffered a severe
accident while at work at the Psy
che mine, in the Greenhorn district.
He was using a crowbar to pry out
a rock, when another rock fell from
above, striking the crowbar in such
a manner as to cause a stone to fly
up, striking Simmons in the eye
and bursting the eyeball. He was
brought here and the eye removed
from the socket. Mr. Simmon's
parents reside at Portland, where
he will be taken as soon as he is
able to travel.

New Haven, March 7. A verit
able mine of money has been dip
covered about the house of the lata
Capt. James H. Woodhonse, a re
tired eailojr, at No. 27 Perkins street
Since his death a wek ago his
daughter and oily heir, who is the
wife of Dr. Frank H. Wheeler, a
prominent local physician, has
been busy searching, and it is said
has already discovered $31,000' in
bills, as well as gold and diamonds
the value of which has cot yet been
estimated.
Money and gold have ben found
in the most out-ef the way placpp.
Ihe captain died on Monday. His
daughter gave him devoted atten
tion during his nlners but was
n9ver able to persuade him to dh
close the whereabouts of the riches
it was known he possessed, The
house was closely guarded as s o
as the body of its owner bad been
ttKen away. 1 ne police were no
tified in order that thieves might
not loot tbe place.
Then Mrs Wheeler and her hus
band began the search. In chairs
and cushions in nearly every room
they found bills sewed up, and gold
that looked as if it had been there
for years cams rattling out of
chinks in the walls,
A withered old plant was taken
from its pot because it was unsi ght
ly. As tbe earth was knocked
away from the roots sparkling
stones fell out, and a through search
disclosed many valuable diamonds.
It was necessary to move things
with tbe greatest care, as the place
seemed to be reeking witb wealth,
Mrs Wheeler near-ly burned a bun
dle of bills which she threw into
the fire with a bundle of rags. She
snatched them from tbe flames in
the nick of time.
So carelessly had money been
hidden in the attic and cellar that
rats had gnawed away parts of the
bundles of greenback. They had
found the money poor feeding evi
dently as none of the bills were in
such condition that they cannot be
easily redeemed.
Dr. Wheeler and his wife refused
to discuss their discoveries. It is
said to be' the intention of Mrs.
Wheeler to search the outbuild
ings, and the yard leading down to
tbe river will be ploughed up.
Dr. Wheelsr-has be,en appointed
administrator of the estate in the
absence of any will. Until it comes
into court for accounting no one
will know how much money the
captain had hidden. Many resi
dents of Fair Haven declare the
Wheelers themselves, will never
know.
Tucson, Feb. 12. News from
Djuglaa states that great excite
ment prevails over the fabulous
gold strike reported in tbe Torres
mountains, forty miles from tbe

road. More than a score of expedi
tions have left Douglas since Mon

. Philadelphia, March 14. The
police for several days have been
investigating the career of George
who was yesterday , committed to
prison with Mrs Catherine Danze
on the charge of causing the death
of the woman's husband 18 months
ago by poison. Mrs. Danze is said
to be only one of a host of women
whose object in consulting the "doc
tor" was not legitimate. The au
thorities say that they expect to
trace a number of deaths to Hos
sey's potions. One official said to
day: "We are only beginning to un
cover this case. It may prove one
of the greatest criminal events in
the history of the department."
Hossey is the arch-conspirator in
many crimes, the authorities , say.
They have learned that for many
month3past his headquarters have
been patronized by many women
both married and single, whose
names are now in the possession of
the District Attorney. When the
negro was arrested, detectives
Bearched his house and confiscated
a wagon load of bottle drugs, in
truments and other parphenalia
much oto which will figure in the
cas. v - .
The Di-trict Attorney j and the
police's '.ate that more arVes s may
be expected foon. The -memorandum
found in Hoev's bousf , it is
believed, will show many cases of
murder. Tbe District Attorney
s id: .. . . '..,' "'. .;','.' v . :
"The c Be is far from, complete
at present. More arris's will, fol-
law."
Physicians in all sections of the
city have reporied cases to the
District Attorney that will probably
lead to the opening of many graves
and to the holding of as many in
quests by the Coroner. In each
of these coses the patient first ap
peared witb a minor complaint,
which gr?w worne, and which, just
before dath, manifested what are
now recalled ts the usual symptom
of arsenical poisoning.
Seven of these practitioners were
closeted with District Attorney
Schorer for several hours, during
which time they went over their
mortality cases and frankly stated
their suspicions. In each of these
cases a thorough investigation was
ordered, and the local managers of
all. life insurance companies were
apked for information concrning
the policies paid upon tbe risks in
the oasef.
The record.-t of the Bireau of
Health show that Hoey issued
death certificates over his own sig
nature as "George Hosey. M D."'
and the authorit e are doing their
utmost t dis -over bow and from
whom he obtained the blank forms.
Statl, March 13.-S-a tie caught
two flight shocks from the seismic
movement that went through Wes
tern Washington this evening. The
tremor appears to have been noted
by but few people. These agree
that the two shocks came very close
tgether between 6:35 and 6:40 J
jxo one reports no'log a movement
of more than very feint percepti
bility. Tbe disturbance appears to have
extended from the Gray's Harbor
country in a generally eastward di
rection to the Cascades.
-Olympia, Wash.,' March '13.
An unusually perceptible earth
quake was felt in this city at 6:25
this evening Buildings were shak
en so that occupants ran into tbe
street!1 in alarm. The eeiemic waves
Beem t travel from northeast to
southwest and the principal shock
was preceded by a tremor of a few
seconds and followed by another
slight tremor, the entire disturbance
lasting nine seconds. A slight
rumbling was al?o heard. .
Aberdeen, Wash., March 13.
Three distinct shocks of earthquake
were experienced here about 6:25
o'clock tonight. In some localities
houses were shaken and the in
mates ran out badly frightened.
Some persons reported that clocks
were stopped and dishes on the ta
ble rattled. A similar Bhock was
experienced in this city ten years
ago.
Port Townsend, Wash., March
13. Although every condition was
so propitious as to occasion com
ment on tbe probability of an earth
quake at sundown tonight, this
portion of Fuget bound experienced
no perceptible shocks. As night
fell, low black clouds met tbe view
in every direction, and the atmos
phere became still and threatening.
Oswego, .N. Y., March 7. After
being married and divorced from
each other, Frances Daniels and
Joseph Good way were married for
the second time at midnight.
Miss Daniels is a daughter oi
Captain Daniels of New Haven
and uoodway lives in
lives in Fulton.
Years ago, when Frances was in
short dresses, she attended school
in this city. She met Joseph Good
way, also very young, and they
were married. They lived together
several years and had two children.
Then they separated and six years
ago a divorce was granted to tbe
wife, who returned to her parents
and took the children with her.
While visiting in Oswego she
met her former ' husband and be
asked her to go to the theater with
him.' Between the acts they talked
over old times and decided to get
married again.. Although it was
midnight, they hunted up a minis
ter. Danger ot Golds and Grip.
, The greatest danger from colds
and grips is their resulting in
pneumonia. If reasonable care is
used, however, and Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy taken, all danger
will . be avoided. Among the tens
of thousands; who have , used this
remedy for these; diseases we have
yet to learn of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia, which show
codclusivtly that it is a certain
preventive of that dangerous disea
se. It will cure a cold or an attack
of the grip in less time than any
other treatment. It is pleaBant
and safe to take. For sale by

North Coast Limited.
The "North Coast Limited" train ' op
erated daily from Portland East by the
Northern Pacific, has proven so popular
that the train was continued this winter
instead of being taken off the run as
during the previous two years. The
traveling public learned that they could
travel on this train just " as cheaply as
they could on any other, and ' once its
popularity became established, the com
pany found that they could hardly get
along without continuing It in operation.
It is an eight car train, electric lighted
throughout, steam heated and solid ves-
tibuled. The train is composed of ex
press and baggage cars, day coaches,
first class Pullman and tourist sleeping
cars, dining cars, and the elegant ob
servation car, whtch is equipped with a
barber shop, bath room, card and smok
ing rooms, an elegant parlor, library of
125 volumes besides all the standard
magazines of the day. This car, aa well
as .the entire train is brilliantly illumin
ated with electric lights, electric fans,
and is otherwise elegantly equipped and .
furnished throughout. The Northern Pa
cific have eight of these trains on the run
daily, four east-bound and
four west
bound.
