Probably the most enjoyable social affair that has taken place iu Corvallis during the winter, was the reception giveu to the sophomore class last Saturday evening at the residence of Mrs. Wm. Ray, whose sou Don, is a member of the clasx and a great favorite with the pupils. Much time and pains had been spent in making the decora tions and a great deal of artistic taste was displayed in their arraiigeraent. These con sisted of chairs, cIii'skIs, tongs and mnuy other articles manufactured from iron by the second year mechanical students. Among the many ffiral pieces the one most attractive wa a bank of roses, representing a large punch, used by the class in the work shop, in the center of which was the word "sophomore" in margu rites, their clas flower. An address of welcome was made by Will Ready iu which he reviewed the class history at considerable length. The most enjoyable feature of the evening was M "anvil polka" rendered by G. M. Simp- son, Geo. L. Paul, Don Hay, Mart Spangler and Robert Ray, the latter doing the anvil work to good advantage. A piano solo by Miss Gertie Can thorn, a recitation by Miss Amy Vaughn and a guitar solo by Marion Johnson alo added much to the evening's pleasure. At ll o'clock re'reshments were served and after bidding adien to their charming hostess , the gnests departed for their respective homes. Those preseut were: Misses Maud Cauthorn, Lottie Rose, Gertie Canthorn, Gertie Mackay, Lyla Terrill of Mehuma, Bertha Thrasher, Esther Simmons of Rose burg, Anna Hanca, Vaunie Keaily of Port land, Amy Vaughn, Mary Henderson, Mattie Wright, Mary Smith and Anna Samuels, Messrs.

Mrs. Jessie Lcsh, a former Corvallis favorite, now residing in Portland, is vis iting relatives and friends in this city. Sol. M. Stock was in Eugene Monday to make arrangements for the presenta tion of Damon and Pythias in that city on July 3d. Mrs. Emmitt of Salem, mother of Ed, the popular' rA,.-Orytudeiit, . Was here Wednesday to witness the graduating ex ercises of which her son was a member. Senator-elect Tolbert Carter and Representatives-elect Thos. H. Cooper and John D. Daly have been in attendance upon the commencement exercises of the college this week. ' I. M. Berry, who attended the agricul tural college the first year of its exist ence which was in 1870, has been in Cor vallis this week renewing old acquaint ances. During the past seven years Mr. Uerry lias been a warden in the peniten tiary at Salem. Governor-elect W. P. Lord was here Wednesday meeting old friends and also for the purpose of familiarizing himself with the duties of regent of the college, which duties will be incumbent upon him after taking the oath of office to which he was elected by such a hand some majority. Last Saturday evening Mr. W. Gifford Nash entertained his pupils and their friends to the number of about 30, with a recital. This was the second "Abend" of a series inaugurated some time since by Mr. Nash that is proving a source of much pleasure and profit to his large class 01 . students. "The Evening Reformer" is the name ' of a three column folio that will make : its first appearance next Monday even- j ing. The ubiquitious Bert Van Cleve j will wield the pen, scissors and paste j brush while G. Moses Simpson will be i foreman of the composing rooms. The i paper will be published under the firm j name and style of Van Cleve & Simp-' son, in whose efficient hands the journal j will no doubt meet with success. j Gus Hansen, a young man recently : from the state of Minnesota, met with a painful accident last Friday while work- ing on the pile driver at the Corvallis : mills. In some unaccountable manner . he placed his foot on a pile that was be-! ing driven and received a blow from the 600-pound hammer that will lay him up ' for some time. It is somewhat remark- 1 able that the injuries sustained will not necessitate the amputation of the foot. At no time in the history of Corvallis was a fire attended by a crowd attired in such variety of costumes as on last Sat urday evening, when the home of the Japanese section men was destroyed, and two Oregon Pacific box cars were burned. The alarm was turned in near midnight, at an hour when all our staid and sober citizens are peacefully wrapt in the arms of Morpheus, but before the society-loving folk had retired. As a result, many of the former arrived at the scene in their sleeping garments or part of them at least, while the latter came dressed in decolette gowns, evening suits and patent leathers. From this fact, about as much damage was sustained to the wearing apparel of those who labored, to extin guish the flames as was done by the blaze directly. Such good accounts have been given out of the rendition of Damon and Pythias by the O. A. C. dramatic club that the Knights of Pythias lodge iu Eugene have made arrangements to play the tronpe in that city on the evening of the 3rd proximo. The theater going citizens of that intellectual city are assured a rare treat and the acting of tbe company will no doubt as far sur. pass their expectations and surprise them as agreeably as they did Corvallisites last Wednesday evening, when the play was produced in this city. Gorvallis, Oregon. Flown and Captured. The first news of the week was the in telligence that Ed Scott and George Hall, who are boarding with Sheriff Osburn until the fall term of court, at which time the former will be interviewed by the grand jury on the charge of assault with intent to kill, and the latter on a charge of burglary, had escaped from their boarding hall, and were making rapid strides for the country. Dr. Farra and D. Z. Irvin, who saw the culprits es cape, immediately gave the alarm and in a short time Sheriff Osbr.ru aud a posse of deputies were in hot pursuit. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon they were cap tured in a wheat field about six miles southwest of town and are again back enjoying the hospitality of the Benton county jail. Their exit was effected by cutting away a portion of the arched door at the entrance to the jail with a pocket knife. This work had been quite tedious and "according to ScotCs. story the three days immediately prior to the escape had been devoted dilligently to the task. During the night the jail is carefully guarded, but during the day no one is around except at meal time, so that by one keeping watch for a possible visitor the other prisoner could go on with the work without fear of being de tected. The expense of a watchman where desperate characters are placed in the county bastile besides that of the re capture of the prisoners should have a salutary effect upon that class of citizens who have steadily and vigorously de nounced the idea of building a new jail from a point of economy. Reception to Mr. Jules Getz. Last Saturday evening a reception was tendered Mr. Julius Getz, of San Fran cisco at the residence of his aunt, Mrs. S. L. Kline. A very pleasant evening was spent in social intercoure and danc ! . ing, the music being furnished by Rose brook's orchestra. The chandeliers were tastefully decorated with ivy and honey suckles, while the parlars and table were adorned with La France roses and heli otrope. A bountiful luncli was served at midnight. Those present were: Mrs. Jamison, of Portland, Prof, and Mrs. Berchtold, Dr. and Mrs. Wilson, Judge and Mrs. Huf ford, Dr. and Mrs. Altman, Mr. and Mrs. Huston, Miss Margaret Snell, Mrs. G. W. Shaw, Misses- Mildred and Bertha Lin ville, Anna Allen, Olive and Lillian Hamilton, Jess Waggoner, Messrs. T. E. Wilson, J. Fred Yates, Luther Smith, Don Woodward, J. Walker, Jules Getz, Ed Getz. '' Injured by Accident F. B. Francisco met with an accident Wednesday afternoon. In company with his son, he was taking a drive into the country with his fine bay team, when of a sudden the side of the seat gave way and he was thrown heavily to the ground, one wheel passing over his heel and causing a painful injury. In order to avert a runaway that seemed immi nent the younger Francisco grasped one of the lines and turned the team against a ttee before they had gone far. This, however, had the effect of upsetting the wagon, from the effects of which the grand-daughter of Mr. Francisco re ceived severe bruises about the head and face, and a child of Mr. Adams, who was also a passenger in the wrecked convey ance, was badly cut about the mouth. Dr. Pernot, who is attending the unfor tunates says they are getting along nicely and no serious results are an ticipated. Services at the Presbyterian church next Sabbath at 11 a. m. and 7:45 p. m. Preaching by the pastor. - Sabbath school at 10 a. m. ; Endeavor societies at 4:30 and 7 p. m. A welcome to all. Pennoyer fen Anarchist. Some of the state papers published the statement that Pennoyer had said on receipt of the dreadful news that President Carnot was assassinated that it was a pity that it was not Presi dent Cleveland. Pennoyer's attention was called to the statement when he ad mitted making the remark but said he was joking. This seems a curious sub ject for such a joke, especially by a gov ernor of a state. No one who has .vatched Pennoyer's course for the last four years will doubt his sincerity in making the remark. It is so near like many of his utterances in public that all will recognize it as coming from the same piece. When the whole civilized world is draped in mourning for the great loss sustained by the hand of a dastardly assassin by our sister republic, one too which the United States has so many reasons to feel kindly, toward, the governor of Oregon does not mourn for France to' the extent of smoth ering an expression of regret that that cowardly hand had not in the same manner stricken down the presi dent of his own country. Pennoyer's dodge of not being in earnest will not go down with those who know him. He has said to many similar things to be able to deceive anyone. He is an an archist at heart and will hereafter be known as one. He is a fitter subject for the hangman's noose than for a public official. Let the people of Oregon, of the United States and the world know that we are cursed with a governor who does not possess even the common in stincts of a civilized being. Mountain Top. The Sabbath school picnic was a suc cess, there being about one hundred and twenty-five present. Those from Philo math were Lee Wells, George McDonald and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Taylor. After the usual lesson Mr. Taylor ad dressed the Sabbath school. Dinner was then served, followed by exercises in the grove. The day was rather cool but a good time was reported. We express our thanks to all who took part in the exercises. Jimmie Blodgett fell victim to quite a serious accident last Sunday evening while out riding. The horse on which he was mounted suddenly stopped, throw ing the child to the ground and stepping on his left band crushing two of his fin gers badly. The men in this vicinity are busily en gaged working the county road. There will be a strawberry festival at the Blodgett schoolhouse next Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Collyer, of Cor vallis are residing with the family of Mr. W. A. Gellatly. A number of the friends of our neigh borhood expect to celebrate at Hoskins.

A Successful School. If the closing exercises 0? school district No. 93 be taken as a criterion of the work r.r -complished by the scholars dm-ing- the past three months, the directors certainly made no mis take in the selection of Professor George Denman as instructor. The program consisted of sor es, recitations, dialogues and read ings by the scholars iu the rendi tion of which all acquitted them selves' creditably and several it dividual efforts were exception ally well given. Mr. Denmai: had invited several of his town friends to be present and ass with the exercises and all xvhu accepted were well pleased with their treatment. Miss Lillian Hamilton and Mr. George Pavi each recited. It is needless Lj say that each did well for th always do, and their efforts were thoroughly appreciated. B. IV. Johnson made his debut as a soloist and a male quartette con sisting of W. T. Lee, Marion Johnson, H. L. Holgate and E. W. Johnson rendered several se lections. The program complet ed, the teacher gave a detailed statement of the standing of each pupil. This was highly flatter ing to both teacher and pupil alike. After the literary exer cises were over an adjournment was had to the grove near by where a sumptuous basket dir.".er was spread. The ladies of school district No. 93 are exceptionally good cooks and that their vict uals were thoroughly appreciat ed, by the visitors at least, wc evidenced by the number or chickens, pies, cakes and other good things consumed. Auotbe three months' term will com mence in two weeks. T3ie di rectors of this district are Albert Harrington, Chas. Smith and E. Witham. The district was only recently formed yet they have, one of the best school houses iu the country. The New Wheat Pest. The new wheat pest, first re ported a few days ago from Rose burg, has been also reported to Prof. Washburn, cuto:no3c. L.i. at the experiment station, by observers at Salem, Grant's P;;;, , Elk Head, Douglas county, Eu gene, Albany, and IL-trrisbu-,,. Concerning it Prof. Washburn makes the following statement: "The insect referred to is the grain aphis aphis abenae), which has at times been so destructive in the Eastern states. It m.'y become equally destructive here though the minute parasites which are at work on it will pos sibly keep it in check. "No really practicable remedy can be applied while the wheat is standing. It is true kerosene emulsion will kill the aphis, hi. for various reasons this treatment is hardly to be considered where the acreage is large. As soon as the wheat or other grain is har vested, burn the stubble aud all straw, weeds, litter and waste on or aboat the field. If the grain is not worth harvesting and i. not too green, it should be burned while standing. The presence of fences is against this procedure but it is the best, in fact the only remedy known to entomolo gists." In Trouble Again. Another chapter in the Kenne dy family trouble closed today, says a Marshfield wire of June 25. Kennedy was formerly a conduc tor on the Oregon Pacific rail road, had been divorced from his first wife and married again. There was a dispute at the time of the divorce over the custody of the two children, who were in his wife's charge. The court did not give Kennedy the child ren and he stole them away from his wife and took them East to an unknown place, and left them in the care of his relatives, until a short time ago, when he wen t East and brought tnem here, where he resides. Kennedy left last week for Yaquina, ana r.is first wife, having heard of the fact, came to this place at ciiec . In the absence of Kennedy, sir demanded her children from h: wife. They were given up with out ceremony, and ' Mrs. Ken nedy, the first, is more than joy ful over the possession of her two young sons.
