The rehearsals which are . in progress nightly at the Opera Houee give promise that the performance - will run smoothly and that the rich hu mor in the lines and the intensely ludicrous situations evolved by the author will be bronght out to the fullest possibility. The proceeds of the performance are to go for the benefit of next year s football team, The cast of characters is as fol lows: Erastus Underholt, a retired packer, B. W. Johnson.

IT FINES PEOPLE. Whodo not Repair Sidewalks When Ordered to do so New Ordinance Passed. THEIR TRIP. Two Hundred Students Went to New: port Things They saw and did. , The railroad excursion to New- "Dort, given annually by tne senior class at the college, transpired Sat Hrday.The number of excursionists 200 was conveyed on a train of four coaches. The start was made from Corvallis at six o'clock, and the arrival at Newport was at 10:30. The college band was along, : and the trip down the bay from Ya--quina City was enlivened by ex cellent music. " A gayer crowd of peeple probably never clambered from the steamer on to the docks at Newport. . " - " ' ' The students had a seven hours' stay at the seaside, and they made the most of it. Some of them had never seen the ocean before, and the pleasure they drew from the experience was more than mani fest. The time was spent in row ing and sailing on the bay, in walk ing on the beach, in surf bathing and in a search for rhododendrons with which everybody came home -with a bountiful Jsupply. On the -beach a number of the boys lined up for a hundred yard dash and the outcome brought a new sprinter to the front. He is Chambers, member of the band, who took the heat in spite of the fact that Moores and Darby, well known runners were in the contest. The day at Newport was very warm, and the trip home was in a measure uncomfortable. . The ar rival at Corvallis was at ten o'clock.

Apparently it is the purpose of the council to require all sidewalks to be put in good condi tion, and to be so kept. The new ordinance is as follows: Section 1. "Whenever in the opinion of the chief of Police of the city of Corvallis any sidewalk or portion thereof within the corporate limits of said city is in such condi tion as to render the repair thereof necessary, he shall serve a - written notice upon the owner or owners; agent or agents of the .property in front of which he shall deem such repair thereof necessary, to repair the same within five days from the date of such notice or show cause by written statement filed with the Police Judge addressed to the Com mon Council ol corvallis within five, days from service of such no tice why such repair should not be made or deemed necessary. :'. In case such repair be not made, nor any good and sufficient cause shown to the Common Council why the same is not necessary within five days the Common Council may at any time thereafter declare by reso lution that such repair or so much thereof as the Common Council shall deem so to be, is necessary. . Section 2. "Any owner or owners agent or agents, of any property abutting or' fronting upon that por tion of the street where such repairs of sidewalks are declared by the Common Council it be necessary as provided by section one ofthis ordi nance, who shall fail or neglect to make such repairs within five: days after the same has been declared necessary bv the Common Council, shall be guilty of misdemeanor, and shall upon conviction thereof in the Police Conrt of Corvallis be punish ed by a fine of not less than five, nor more than fifty dollars,, or be imprisoned in the jail not less than two nor more than twenty five days. The Balloon Wouldn't Stop Ascend ingOne of Aeronaut Miller's Experiences, The man who is to make the balloon ascension inCorvallis Friday is an old and experienced hand at ballooning. He is Professor Frank Miller, well known in Oregon as an aeronaut. He has made no less than 18 ascensions at the State Fair grounds at Salem. He has ballooned in almost every town in Oregon, except Corvallis. He made at Dallas last Friday what is reported in the papers to have been one of thebest ascensions ever made in Oregon. He ascend ed to a height of 3,500 feet, and from that elevation made a beauti ful parachute jump. Prof. Miller's first ascension was made in St, I,ouis 23 years ago. The event was at the instance of a newspaper, and was for adver tising purposes. In his experience Prof. Miller has had numerous ac cidents, but so far has survived them all. His ribs have been cav ed in, his limbs have been repeat edly broken, but to . the profes sional balloonist, these are minor matters. One of the most terrible of all his experiences was many years ago when the failure of some of the appliances about the balloon to work, he was carried far higher than it is ever the purpose of aer onauts to go. The balloon was a gas affair. In such, a valve at the top is worked from the basket be low for letting out gas to permit the lowering ot the balloon. In the basket were Prof. Miller, an other aeronaut and two newspar per reporters. When the desired elevation was reached an effort was made to open the valve and lower the balloon, but it failed. The valve would not yield to the efforts of the aeronauts, and the balloon continued on its flight up ward. Higher and higher it rose while the men vainly tugged at the connecting wire. Thinner and thinner grew the air as the great balloon soared further and' further into the sky. A height of four miles was reached and the instru ment for measuring the elevation bursted. Still the balloon flew up ward until the valve in the top yielded, a portion of the gas was permitted to escape, and the de- ssent began. When . they finally reached the ground, one of" the re porters was dead and Miller and the other newspaper man were but little better, the latter dying a week later, . "v The balloon to be used in the ascension Friday morning is 56 feet in diameter, or 168 feet in circum ference. In its construction 1,200 yards of cloth was used It is inflated with hot air. It is capable of lifting about three people In the parachute jump to be made during the ascent an eleva tion of 1,000 feet is necessary for the jump to be successful. ' The ascent will be made in the morn iner in order to avoid the wind that so frequently blows in the after noon. , . . ' BOUGHT A THRESHER.

The black smiths raised an objection to further operations on the ground that the shooting would frighten fractious or other horses they might be at tempting to shoe. After many con ferences between interested parties the shooting gallery enterprise was abandoned, and the babies were to be the sole attraction in the tent. Bu a formidable barrier to even this little enterprise was erected by the council Monday night, by fix ing the license for such at $10 per day.
