The splendid appearance of your cadet body was most favorably commented upon by the vice president and other dis tinguished visitors, which was , a source of keen gratification to the people of the state. It was a man with a hoe. The sun shone warm. With infin ite patience and considerable flow of perspiration, he waS applying the hoe in an effort to clear away the weeds and grass in the street next the sidewalk. It all looked good to passersby and they re marked as how the example ought to be followed. What if every body in town would do the same thing, they remarked as- they pass ed on. In a little while by such means what a transformation could be worked in the appearance of things. The spot where . all this happened was at the Congregation al church, and evidence of the work is there to be seen and the neatness of the environment still stands as proof of all the ' foregoing. The man with the hoe was Rev. Green. There will be no service at the Congregational church on Sunday morning. The congregation will worship with the college in the Ar mory. In the evening the service will be at eight o'clock and the ser mon will be preached by Dr. House , of Portland.

Corvallis to be Deserted Only a Soli tary Guard to Watch the Streets, It looks now as if Corvallis would be a relic,- a Jdeserted viliage, a ruin next Thursday. All the busi ness houses will be closed, and the proprietors and the clerks will be at the Fair. It will be7 Corvallis day down there, and Corvallis is going en masse toemphasiz ethe fact before the multitude of Fair visit itors. The town has a lot of things up its sleeve. . It is the purpose to go down there and behave decor ously, but at the same time to do thing that will make denizens of other climes who happen to see us dig up their geographies and see whereabouts Corvallis is on - the map. . , As to who is going to the Fair that day, that has ceased to" be talked about, and it hasYather be come a quiry as to whether or not anyone is going to remain at home. The rate isso low that it is cheap er to go on the excursion than it is to sit on a dry goods box and whit tle at home. The wear and tear on the knife and the box will nearly foot up more than an excursion 1 icket. Every thing is so favor able for making the trip, and so many are going that the main fear is that there will be nobody left to watch the towi, except the chief of police who it is acknowledged, under the stress of his 1 loneliness may fall accidentally on his own sword or shoot himself with his own automatic, and none be left to tell the doleful tale of how it came about. Or hearing that the .town was guarded but by a single man, there might be an invasion from Lincoln county and Peruna be drunk and guzzled upon our regen erate streets with reckless abandon, and the lone, solitary chieftain of the police force be unable to put down the disorder or save the hon or and sobriety of dry Corvallis from the designs of the invaders, As stated all Corvallis business houses are to close for the day. I They have signed an agreement to tnat eiiect. The mayor is prepar ing to issue a proclamation, declar ing the day to be a municipal holi day, and calling on all citizens to rest from their labors. The Citi zens League, comprising 100 in fluential and leading citizens, has unanimously and enthusiastically resoluted, calkag Tipon -verybo$ i to make of the occasion, a holiday, and to doall possible to swell the for ces of the excursion of Corvallisites at the Fair, and to assist in every way to show the Fairites a bit. of Western enterprise, by the show ing made. A committee of the 1 League has canvassed the town and J raised money. A special train has I been secured to carry Corvallis to I the fair in style. The League has guaranteed that 900 passengers will go on the train. The belief now is that the number will be 2,000. Not one detail has been ov erlooked, and the common guess is that after the thing is all-over Cor vallisites wTill be more than gratified at the showing made. To make the occasion the more successful, it is proposed to-ueive the event more of the charactepof Benton county day. The showing made in the parade and otherwise will be devoted more to Benton county than to Corvallis. " The mottos and legends displayed will strenuously emphazie old Benton, and it is the purpose as a result to draw as heavily as possible from Benton' s population to help carry outthe plan. Information from the country is that every locality and nearly every family will send a delegation to jo'n in the trip. The arrangements for the rate of fare are great. The charge for the round trip, returning the same evening is only $2. . On a $2.60 ticket, a person can go down on the special excursion train in the morn ing and return at any time within seven days. That is the cheapest, arrangement for a round trip ticket ever made from Corvallis to Port land with so long a period to stay. The excursion train will leave Cor vallis about six o'clock next Thurs day morning. The hour for. the return by the same train . in the evening has been fixed at 7 o'clock.

It happened recently, about mid night. Officer Osburn, making his usual rounds, paused a moment near the Woodcock residence. To his astonishment, a man emerged from the cover of vines near a window aad darted away. Ot course the officer gave instant pursuit. The course, lay around the Burnett corner and thence westward and southward, both men. going like quarter horses, The officer in oth er days had a good stride and was able te go some, and he started out with high hop-s of capturing the fugitive. ' The chase took a diagonal course through the school house lots. There was ploughed ground there, ; and it worried both runners. It did much to wind the officer, while the fugitive sped on at a pace too hot for any ordinary trail. " It was so hot in fact, that when he came to the deep ditch north across the street from the Farra residence, that he saw the depression too late. He went down like a shot but was up again like a flash. Across the street at the Farra curbing there is a barbed wire, He ran"intoit, and went down on the stone pavement with a dull sickening thud. Student von der Hellen was passing down the street at a distance of fifty yards or more and saw the fall into the ditch. "Pretty work; pretty work" he shouted oblivious to the fact that far astern a man-of-war with all sails set and jib boom and spanker flying was bearing down hard on the speeding craft. There was a quick rise after the fall on the pavement, and a quick dash around the corner and a final disappearance in the darkness. The officer, in spite of the double fall of the fugitive was distanced, and bad to give up the chase. Subsequent developments seem to indicate that a cherry tree in the Woodcock yard was the only thing on which the marauding and strange visitor had designs. The story is that his companion, who . was actually in the tree when the other fled, got home without bruises from a fall in a ditch, and had no chase over plowed gror.nd arid no experience with a barbed wire and a stone payement. The cherries on that tree- are said to be awfully7 good. ": LEWIS AND CLARK RATES. From points on the C. & E. to Portland and Return. Individual Rates.
