Sophomore Social.
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

Gus Hansen, a young man recently :
from the state of Minnesota, met with a
painful accident last Friday while work-

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.

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.

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.

The Sabbath school picnic was a suc

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.
