The sermon to the Congrega
tional church on . Sunday evening,
like the one of the morning to Jbe
college congregation by Dr. House
6f Portland, was a masterpiece of
thought, erudition and eloquence.
The congregation that filled the
house to its utmost capacity was
held by the magnetism and person
ality of the speaker in high tension
from the first word to the last.
Many who had heard the preacher
in his home church in Portland
came to hear him and remained at
the close of the service for a cor
dial handshake.. The choir main
tained its high record , in the- ser
vice. The church was" beautifully
decorated in cut flowers represent
ing the color and spirit of Harvard
the Alma Mater of Dr. House.
Miss Wavelle Cunningham,
once a popular student, at O. A. C.
committed suicide in Portland
Thursday night. She was at the
college about four years ago, and
attended a year. Then she went
to Stanford. A long account of
how she passed a check at a Port
land jewelry store, and of the
further fact that there was no mon
ey in the bank to cover the check,
appeared lately in the Portland pa
pers. That was, perhaps, ten days
ago. Then came the other and
final tale, a tragic narrative of how
the young woman turned on the
gas in her room, and paid with her
life whatever of obligation . her -act
had made her owe the world. Her
father had made good the check by
straightening but the affair with
' the bank,' and there was no, charge
against Miss Cunningham. Her
home was in an Eastern Oregon
town. There are many mournful
aspects in this unfortunate k case,
which those who knew her as a
pretty and interesting girl at O. A:
C. view with deep regret.
Under authority by telegraph
from Washington, the local post

---Baccalaureate Sunday was one
of the most successful in the history
of OAC: The sermon by Dr.
House, of Portland, wos of a kind
with one by a Methodist divine
from Spokane a 1 number of years
ago. The' Armory was simple but
beautifully decorated. The graud
uating class, 48 in number, occu
pied front seats, and city ministers,
the faculty and others were on the
platform. Music by the vocal de
partment was most excellent, and
the sermon wonderful. A great
audience of perhaps more than
1,200 people filled the auditorium
A more imposing scene or an oc
casion more eloquent of the glory
and greatness of OAC was never
seen.
The recital of the Vocal depart
ment of O. A. C. under the direc
tion of Mrs. E. F. Green, in the
College chapel, on Mouday even
ing a well deserved success, and a
fitting completion of. the year's
work. A full house and an appre
ciative audience greeted those who
took part in the programme. The
platf or m displayed tasteful decor
ation and the class " presented a
splendid appearance.. Flattering
applause was accorded all those
who had numbers. Among those
on the programme were Miss Bu
chanan, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Ingle,
Mr. Knapp, Miss Allen, Miss
Keady, Miss McBee, Miss Stewart,
Miss Von der Hellen, Miss Herron,
Miss Phiilips and Mrs. F. L- Mil
ler. Ruthyn Turney added much
to the pleasure of the evening by
his artistically rendered violin obli
gate. Gratifying success has at
tended the vocal department under
Mrs. Green' with an enrollment of
eighty pupils this year.
GRADUATING EXERCISES.
In Department of Instrumental Mu
sicTook Place Saturday Evening,
In college chapel Saturday
night occurred the Piano Gradua
tion Recital by Louise Smith Glan
ville, a pupil of Prof. Taillandier.
In spite of the field meet in Salem,
which took, -many people from this
town, the; recital was largely at
tended, and the" applause of the
audience showed their appreciation.
The program was a very exacting
one, including a Beethoven Sonata,
Liszt Rhapsody, several pieces by
Henselt and Chopin and the diffi
cult. Concerto by Hummel in a
minor. .' The orchestral accompani
ment was played on a second piano
by Prof. Taillandier. y (.
Many people look upon pupils
recitals as tedious, but this recital
was a revelation to many present,
and all who attended last Saturday
went home enthusiastic in praise of
the performance. ' Mrs. Glanville
played with ease and artistic finish
and delighted her audience with
the different pieces, which on ac
count of their contrast gave new
interest to every number.
Prof. Taillandier is to be , con
gratulated upon his pupil and also
on the standard which he has set
for graduation. We are told that
is following here in , Corval
lis the same ' standard that
he followed during the seventeen
years that he taught in Boston.

EVERYBODY GOING.
More Than a "Thousand - Expected
Something About the Great
Banner.
Arrangements for celebrating
Corvallis and Benton Day at the
Fair are perfecting, and it becomes
more and more apparent that the
thing is to be unanimous. .It looks
now as if, not only the whole town
but the whole county is to go. The
proposition to make the day a hum
mer is without a dissenting voice.
The features for the Portland ev
ent are taking shape fast and in
dicate that there is genius behind
the plan. The most conspicuous
arrangement perhaps is a banner to
be carried in the - parade. The
statement seems impossible and yet
jt is a fact that this banner, now
ready for use, is actually 150 yards
or 450 feet long. Portland never
saw anything like it before and op
en mouthed wonder will certainly
stare from every pavement and
street corner at the mammoth
streamer. How it is to be carried
and what will be on it. cannot be
described here. Fine art has con
trived a way for it to stream its
full length and flaunt in the , gaze
of the multitude while Benton
people parade Portland. It is worth
the while of home people to go to
Portland to see how it is all to be
done, especially when with the
low fare it is cheaper to go than to
stay at home.
The great banner bears many a
legend. Ther is a column of good
reading matter in it about Benton.
"Bencon still grows hops, even if
she is dry." is one inscription and
' 'thermometers do not have to be
kept on ice in summer or blanketed
in winter," is another.
The Coffee Club of Corvallis is
to be at the City hall all this after
noon to tie up sample products to
carried in the parade in Portland.
Flowers are wanted and : contribu
tions of them are solicited. Can
those who have them send them to
the city hall this afternoon Coffee
Club people will arrange them for
use at Portland., Strawberries,
cherries, vegetables and other prod
ucts are also desired for use in
making up a feature for .the parade
quite as spectacular as the banner
will be. It is also requested that
every person wno goes tase aiong
if at all possible, a bouquet of roses
or other flowers to be borne in the
parade. - 4 ' .

TOOK A SPIN.
Delivery Horses Did And ran Amuck
With Fanners Family's
. ! Carriage.
A runaway with more than
usual of the spectacular in it, occur
red Monday afternoon, and for a
time supplied plenty of excitement.
The outfit was the delivery wagon
with the gray team of which Har
lan Taylor is driver. The horses
took a spin on their own account,
several weeks ago, but in that af
fair the damage was only nominal.
The second appearance in the role
was attended with vaster conse
quences in all respects. The start
was somewhere in the south end of
town. The flight involved Third
street, going north, until Jackson
was reached, when the speeding
veered eastward on to Main, where
they turned south, clearing the
street as they ran. Naar Miller's
store the wagon collided with an
electric light pole. The reach gave
way and all of the vehicle except a
portion of the front works was left
there. The fright of the horses
was now worse than ever, and leav
ing Main, they turned out to third
again. At Mrs. Lee's corner they
collided with George Armstrong's
family carriage. - A wheel of the
latter was spoiled, the double tree
broken and other damage done.
The Armstrong team started also
to run, but it was caught before a
good start had been effected. Mean
time, the delivery wagon had been
reduced to a condition oi almost
total wreck. The outfit is the
property of Captain George Robin
son.
