Frank Grubbs is laid np at his home
north of town with a broken leg, the re
sult of a runaway accident which hap
pened last Thursday morning. With his
step-father, M. StGerman, Frank had
driven to the Benton mills with a load of
wheat, and while waiting to unload it,
the team took fright and dashed up the
street to the hotel Corvallis, where they
turned south to Miller's store, thence
westward, continuing their way several
blocks before being caught. On account
of the heavy load the flight of the team
was anything but speedy, and as they
kept in the middle of the road they re
ceived no injuries, and the wagon and
harness no damage. When the team
started, Frank seized the reins and at
tempted to prevent the runaway, but in
some manner lost his balance and. fell
from the wagon, ore of the hind wheels
passing over his right leg, breaking it
about eight inches above the knee. He
was carried to the hotel Corvallis where
the fracture was reduced. . Later in the
day he was taken home and is said to be
doing nicely.
William Grant returned last week from
a several months' absence in the east.
The announcement of his brother's
death and a request from the family to
come east and look after the -settlement
of the estate, took Mr. Grant toCarmi,
Illinois, during the winter, where he
remained during a greater portion of his
absence. This fall Mr, Grant intends to
return again to Illinois and close up the
affairs of his deceased brother's estate.
He will be accompanied on his return to
Oregon by his brother's family, consist
ing of a daughter, two ons and their
mother, who will make their home with
Mr. Grant daring the balance of his life.
Upon his trip home Mr. -Grant visited St.
Louis a week after therecent cyclone had
devastated portions of the city, and after
walking among the ruins for a few hours
concluded that the -.most, graphic discrip
tions of the tornado, as sent out by the
newspaper correspondents had failed to
do the -matter justice, so appalling was
the horror of the-storm. Mr. Grant says
that ipdople of the east are ignorant of
Oregon .and .her varied resources and ad
vantages. During his stay, however, he
did considerable .missionary work, and as
a result several Illinois families will find
homes in -western Oregon during the
xiejct year. Mr. vGrant left Friday for his
home -on .the. coast, known as Far Far.

Commencement Exercises at the
O. A. C. Close of a Pros
perous School Year.
The goddess of silence holds high eon: I in
the halls of the Oregon Agricultural College.
The young men and women who hare been
drinking knowledge at this fountain so gen
erously provided by thenational government,
are now separated the blue uniforms quick
ly scattering all over Orcgo.i at the corn
mtind "break ranks."
This has been a grand ytar for thu insti
tution on college hill. The increase in at
tendance has been remarkable, and put the
O. A. C. in the lead overall other schools
in the etate in this regard. The college work
has been put upon a better basis and the ef
ficiency of the school noticeably increased.
There has been a gratifying freedom from
discord and clashings harmony seems to
have biieu the watchword of the year. Not
only have methods been improved, but there
have been important additions of apparatus
and buildings. And beyond and beside the
the tangible evidences of growth, there is the
feeling that the repect of the outer world
has been secured, and that the college has
gained influence and standing never before
possessed.
CI.ASS EXERCISES.
Commencement week was her.ilded by the
freshman class, with a literary and musical
program, Friday night. The class of '99 has
150 members, 90 boys and 0 girls, and they
more than filled the spacious platform of the
college-chapel. The program was well rend
ered and the freshmen -surpassed the other
classes in class songs and class yells. The
orations were praisworihy.
Saturday evening tha sophmores held
their exercises at the opera house, which was
crowded to the doors. There are over 50 in
this class, the household economy class be
ing well represented. A program of ora
tions, music, poems and tableaux was thu
farwell exercises of this class to sophm.ire
honors. The music was the feature of the
evening. The oration of Mr. Uilslrap was
thoughtful and expressed in good language.
The other original numbers showed clever
ness. BACCAiAUREATJJ -SUNDAY.
Dr. Hill of the 1st Presbyterian church,
Portland, preached the buccaluurcato ser
mon at the chapel, Sunday morning. It was
a grand address, clear cut, and powerful.
The speaker impressed upon the students the
necessity of becoming truth seekers. Proper
education means sirnply the discovery of
truth. Ood's truth is everywhere and wo need
only to open our eyes to discover it. The
great men of science and art had no larger
field than their fellow men, but they saw
great truths when the vast majority saw but
commonalities. The iiblo is a well of truth;
its historical accuracy has been signaly veri
fied by secular historians of ancient days
whoso writings have but lately been discov
ered or translated. Tha sermon closed with
a strong exhortation to find the truths of
christian religion. Prof. Berchtold had
charge of the music of the Sunday exercises
and it was cf a high order.
MONDAY'S GATHERING.
A large crowd witnessed the battalian drill
Monday afternoon. As the O. A. C. boys
marched onto the grounds, to the strain: of
martini music from the cadet band, one
could not but be impressed with their manly
appcaranco The careful and able instruc
tions of Lieut. Dentler and She intelligent in
terest of the boys, have resulted in a finely
drilled battalian, and the movements on
Monday wero splendidly executed.
Monday night the juniors took possesion
of the opera house and entertained a .crowd
limited only by the capacity of the building..
Owing to changes in the courses, there are
but 21 members in this class., and 19 of ihem
are young men. The exereUes opened ..with
a band selection, entitled "Juniors "J6."
written by Junior Victor Moses. The O. A.
C. band under the leadership the talented
young musician. Mart Spangler, ha gained
an enviable reputation for both concert and
parado music, but its second selection Mon
day evening was a delightful surprise to
those even who have been familiar with its
playing. Its execution was masterly and it
was received with vociferous and prolonged
applause and the boys had to respond with
another gem. The other exercises of the
program were well received, the oration of H.
.J. Elliot being an especially commendable
number. Tho drill by 12 juniors was admir
able and highly entertaining. Miss Bertie
Linvilte on behalf of tho departing seniors
p esentud the mantle in a graceful speech
and Mr. Harrison in receiving it, made a fit
ting response. A unique tableau illustrating
the class yell closed the program.-.
FLAG PRESENTATION.
Tuesday's event in the closing exercises 1
was the presentation of a handsome flag by
Ellsworth Post, G. A. K., Women's Belief
Corps, and Sons f Veterans, to the college.
At t jr a dress parade on the drill grounds
the cadets marched to the college building,
in front of which a large throng of citizens j
naa gainerea. un me steps were member
of the board of regents, President Bloss,
Congressman Ellis, Kev. E. J. Thompson,
members of the G. A. R., Women's Relief
Corps, and Suns of Veterans. President
Bloss introduced Dr. Thompson, wZtiiade
the presentation address on behalf of its
donors. He said that while there might bn
m re imposing occasions there were none
that appealed more to our patriotic feelings,
th in such an one an this. Dr. Thompson
p ike feelingly and eloquently as he urged
loyally to "old glory."
Hon. J. T. Apperson, of Oregon City, as
president of the board of regents, received
the flag, and in a few earnest words vouched
for the patriotism of the boys and girls of
the Oregon Agricultural College,, He then
introduced another member of the board
Benton Killen, of Portland, who made a
brief address welcoming the gift as an em
blem of civil and religious liberty.
President Bloss, representing the faculty,
t) whose custody the starry banner had been
entrusted, received the flag from Mr. Apper
io 1, and said that the college students real
ized that their military training was to fit
them for physical defense of tha stars and
strips, and that this "banner of the free,"
formed the chief decoration of the institu
tion's commencement exercises.
Congressman Ellis was introduced and
made some appropriate remarks, which were
enthusiaeticly received. He thought that
proper education and proper national dili
gence, would make our nation too powerful to
be voluntarily attacked, and too intelligent
and just to attack others. But that should
not lessen our loyalty to the flag. It was an
emblem of peace, although mighty in war.
Mr. Ellis is u graduate of the agricultural
college of Iowa, his native state.
At the conclusion pf his remarks the cadet
band payed the "Star Spangled Banner,"
whiU the flag. was being raised over the
building. A strong sea breeze was blowing
and as the handsome banner floated from
the flag pole, the concourse of loyal citizens
present joined Mr. Apperson in a rousing
inreecneers rorolU glory."
Ths presentation was the result of the
active efforts of Mr. T. M. Hamilton, an em
ployee of the college, and commander of
Ellsworth Post of this city. Il is an excep
tionally large flag, being 30xlf feet, ar.d up
on its field of blue are 45 stars, representing
all the states inclusive of the recent accession
into the union, of Utah.
Afierthe presentation, President and Mrs.
Bl ss gave a reception at their residence that
was very largely attended.

day night. A brief program was first ren
dered, consisting of a band march, "Class of
Ninty-six." composed by Arthur Wood, a
memberof theclim; a solo by Miss Louisa
Barnett; class history by Miss Mattie
Wright, and class song, written by Mr. A.
W. Wood. Don Ry sang tho solo part of
the latter, and although his usually swoet
voice suffered from huskiness, this was a very
nleasi ig number. Then follower) TJ,
Jerrold's classical drama, "Tho Painter of
Othent." With tho exception or Mr. Geo, L.
Paul, who drilled tha cast and played the
part of "Roderick, tho painter," tho charac
ters were represented by mimbars of tho
clues. There was a noticable absence of rant
ing, over-acting and amateurish effjet. Tho
class is to be congratulated upon their good
taste in selecting this play instead of the
cheap and vulgsr melodramas usually chosen
by amateurs. The acting was character
ized by quiet earnestness and doeD feelinsr
consistent with Hie spirit and movement of
the .piny. Following is the

when the class of forty-three young men and
women marched onto the rostrum to tho
sweet strains of music furnished by tho Im
perial orchestra, every inch of floor space
had been utilized and even the corridors and
and stairways adjoining tho chapel were
crowded with interested onlookers. The ros
trum had been beautifully decorated for the
occasion with choiee flowers and potted plants
from the green houses, while about the walls

CONGRESSMAN BX.I.IS HERE.
Congressman W. R. Ellis, representing
thesecund district of this state, arrived
in Corvallis with his wife by the west side
train Tuesday noon, to attend the com
mencement exercises of the .Agricultural
College, which institutiou two of his
children are attending. He will visit
here for a few days when he will go baci
to his home in Eastern Oregon. In a few
weeks, however, he will return with his
family who will spend the summer at Ya
quina bay. Mr. Ellis, though, will spend
the greater portion of the time between
now and the convening of congress, iti
canvassing his district in the interest of
McKinley.
. Upon his arrival Mr. Ellis w is se:i by
a Gazette representative, and conversed
freely upon the political situation. Ask
ed as to what he thought of the St. Liuis
platform, he said: "It is one of the best
and strongest platforms ever adopted by
the party, and it appeals to the business
judgment and patriotic instincts of the
American people. The financial plank
may perhaps be somewhat offensive to the
silver republicans, but it is honest and
will prevent any wrong interpretation of
the party's position m the future. It re
cognizes free coinage as a right principle
of political economy, and though it de
nounces independent action on the part
of the United States, it strongly favors
bi-metalism through international agree
ment. The republican party is undoubt
edly the friend of the white metal, and
when the people fully understand its at
titude toward silver, it will receive their
hearty support I do not believe, as the
Oregonian seems to do, that . every one
wiio professes republicanism must ap
prove fully of every word of every plank
of the party platform in order to be
deemed a consistent republican. That
paper in taunting the free silver faction of
the party is endeavoring to drive it hope
lessly out of the organization, and in fact
is losing the party votes that might be
retained by a conciliatory attitude."
"In speaking of the nomination of Mc
Kinley, Mr. Ellis seemed enthusiastic over
the prospects of his election. "The first
thing," said he, "is to raise the revenue
of the government sufficiently to meet
current expenses and create a surplus in
the treasury, and then we will have
solved a problem that will go far toward
solution) f other economic questipns that
are troubling us. In the east the people
are wild with enthusiasm over McKin
ley's nomination. There, and especially
in the manufacturing states, protection,
of which principle he is the great expon
ent, is regarded as the great issue, and
other questions are deemed as being of
comparatively little importance."
In an interview with Mr. Ellis, pub
lished in Tuesday's Oregonian, appears
the following:
"Mr. Ellis still bears the ocular ev:.
dence of his free-silver proclivities, as he
wears a button on which is inscribed
'Dennis Flynn and Free Silver.' Mr.
Flynn is a curiosity from Oklahoma, who
sought to float into fame on a supposed
free-silver tidal wave."
Evidently the reporter who interviewed
Mr. Ellis had already begun celebrating
the glorious Fourth and was consider
ably under the "influence." Otherwise,
he would have seen that the inscription
on the button read "Dennis Flynn and
Free Homes," and ought to have known
that Dennis Flynn was the promoter of a
bill to withdraw certain lands in the Ok.
lahoma country from sale at $2.50 per
acre, and throw them open for settle
ment to homesteaders. Upon the pas
sage of the bill, which was reported fa
vorably from Kir. Ellis' committee on
public lands, Flynn's friends secured the
buttons in question, which from that time
on were very much in evidence about the
capital, so strong a gold man as Speaker
Reed wearing one of them with much
pride. But all this is simply to explain
one of the daily wilful misrepresentations
of what the pops are pleased to call the
"bible" of Oregon republicans.

"Going into a decline." How often do we
hear this expression. What does it mean?
It means that people are loosing fleth, grow
ing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to im
prove the digestion. The condition arises
from an inability to eat and digest food. In
fact food does more harm than good because
it for men ts and putrefies in tha stomach, de
veloping poisonous substances which when
absorbed cause various disorders.
What is required is that the stomach bo
made to perform its duties. Thi Shaker
Disgestive Cordial is a food already digested
and a digoster of foods as well. It will make
the stomach healthy. Get a book from the

The Oxonian has damned
free coinage as being not only
vroii iu policy but wrong in
principle. It was not independ
ent free coinage that aroused its
ire it was free coinage out-and-out.
It mikes it dream of
anarchy. The Oregonian has
been asking, derisively, the sil
ver republicans of Oregon how
they enjoy the financial plank of
the national convention, and
wants to know if they will bolt
or face about. That convention
has declared in favor of free
coinage by international agree
ment. This paper is not for free
silver, but it would like to ask
the Oregonian how it likes the
national platform, and whether
it will bolt or face about. . For
the sake of a lively campaign in
this state it is to be hoped that
the Oregonian will not bolt. If
it should the opposition will
allow Oregon to go republican by
default. They will have no hope
if the Oregonian is on their side.
