termined, but it is suspected that it is

-A trio of sleek-looking Individu

ing a living in this manner, and for
the "protection" of tbe business and
the shaving public, and- furthermore,
incidentally, to pay each member of
the beard four dollars a day and ex
penses. The board provided each shop
with a copy of the rules and regula
tions governing sheps. They provide
that the barber shall not allow his
finger nails to grow long, for obvious
reasons, and they are to be kept clean;
that a razor shall be cleaned after be
ing used on a person with the. small
pox or a dead man; that the same
towel shall not be used on more than
half a dozen persons, whether the pa
tron grumbles or not; the use of an
esthetics for painless shaving is strict
ly prohibited; attention of the opera
tor is not to be diverted by political
or .religious discussion in the shop;
workmen are to confine their state
ments within the range of possibility,
and no barber is to allow waste hair
to accumulate under his chair to - de
ceive the public as to the amount of
business he is doing. The rules con

FLOWERS AND TEARS.

A Hearse, a Grave and a Sermon-
ial of a College Student. . ....
A funeral procession led by the
college cadet band, and with 300
uniformed cadets in line, followed
by the hearse, the bereaved family
and a long line of carriages, formed
a striking scene Thursday; fore
noon. A more impressive cortege
has rarely been seen in Corvallis.
The beauty of a serene mid-April
morning, the mournful strains of
the band music and the length of
the long line of mourners removed
the melancholly occasion out of the
realm of the ordinary. '
It was a student at the college
whose passing made this . funeral
Tbe tribute paid .by faculty and
college mates, compelled . the
thought that after all it is not so
sad to die in the bosom of .a . great
educational institution where sym
pathy and fellowrrespect is made
so manifest. He was Otto Haenel
and he was a sophomore. He came
to the college first ; in the autumn
of 1901., He served through the
scholastic year and entered , again
last September. A little more than
two weeks ago, he was stricken
with pneumonia, and alarming
symptoms developed. The malady
was of violent type, and speedily
involved both lungs. Two phy
sicians worked on the case, but it
was not for man's hand or human
skill to save. Tuesday evening at
five o'clock, the young student
with sorrowing relatives at the
bedside, succumbed.
Otto was the second son of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Haenel, who re
side three miles south of Monroe.
Twenty years ago the family rer
sided in Corvallls. It was then
that Otto was born, and as a young
child he went with the family a
short time later to reside on the
farm neaj Monroe, which has since
been the family home.
The funeral occurred from . the
Catholic church. Scarcely a fourth
of those who came to mourn could
enter the . building. President
Gatch, with a number of the fac
ulty was among those who found
places inside. Outside the battal
ion of cadets, the cadet band and a
large number of students and citi
zens stood in respectful silence , as
the service proceeded. The ob
sequies were under the impressive
rites of the Catholic church. Father
Daly of Salem, led in the service,
and was assisted by Father Btich
ner of Siletz. A brief but- very!
strong funeral address was delivered
by the former.
The casket was piled high with
floral tributes. Many beautiful
floral emblems were amonsr the of
ferings, notably , a pillow of white
lilies, from members of the sopho
more class. The pall bearers were
members of the class of the . dead
student. While mass was being
said inside the church, the band
outside played the. mournful notes
of a funeral dirge : Those inside
the church were given a view of the
body, and then the casket was re
moved to the street, where the bat
talion marched past it with a file on
either side, giving college mates
opportunity for a last view of the
dead face. , The ceremony touched
a pathetic chord in the hearts of all
who saw it. The band and bat
talion led the march to the ceme
tery. Conspicuous in the proces
sion were, the girls of the sopho
more class, in a body. ',. They made
the journey to the cemetery . and
back, on foot, . At "the; grave,
Father Buchner conducted a brief
service, and then a squad of cadet,
comrades,- stepped from the ranks,
and fired a-parting salute, with its
voileyed ; benediction, . Through
out the day, the flag at the college
floated at half mast.
