neighbor s. He, feeling tired, went
to bed and was 60on fast asleep.
On returning home his wife found
the door ajar, and thinking she had
locked the door before her depart
ure, she was greatly exercised and
jumped o the conclusion that some
body had made an entrance to the
house during her absence. She
immediately hunted up the night-
watch and they went back to inves
tigate the affair. Imagine her sur
prise when it was ascertained that
her husband was the intruder and
was snoring away unconscious of
the disturbance he had caused.
THIRTY-SEVEN GRADUATES.
Excellent Programs and Large Audiences
at the O. A. C. Commencement
Exercises.
The 31st annual commence
ment of the Oregon Agricultural
College has marked the close of
what President Apperson, of the
board of regents, said in his re
marks to the class Wednesday
morning was the most success
ful year in the history of the
school. The class of graduates
numbering thirty-six young men
and women is one of the largest
which ever passed out of the in
stitution. Beginning with the
baccalaureate sermon last Sun
day the people of this city to
gether with a large number from
abroad, have been edified and en
tertained by the various classes
and the alumni.
Monday night the Seniors
gave their annual entertainment
at the Armory. The exercises
consisted of a song, "The Moun
tains," by the Senior Quartet;
a recitation, "The New Lochin
var," by W. C. Abrains; "Cata
lin's Defiance," a dialogue by
A. J. Bier and J. G. Elgin; Act
III, scene IV from "Mary
Stuart." bv Misses Minnie Bux-
j j - J
ton and Inez Fuller; and Act I, r
scene I,:froin "King Lear," the
various characters being distri
buted as follows: King Lear,
W. W. Garrow; King of France,
J. H. Gallagher; Duke of Bur
gandy, J. G. Elgin; Duke of
Albany. A. T. Bier; Duke of
Cornwall, W. C. Abrams; Earl
of Kent, A. H. Frazier; daugh
ters of Lear Ganeral, Joyce
Hershner; Regan, Lillian Ran
uey, and Cordelia, Garlan Hill.
The costumes used in these
various sketches were beautiful
Ruthyn Turney; recitation
"Laddie," Gertrude Ewing
recitation, "Claudius and Gyu
una," ivy Jtsurton; "Down in
the Dewv Dell," The Cecilian
Chorus; recitation, "The Spin
nine:-Wheel Sons:," Constance
Holland; recitation, "The Death
Bridge of Tay," Edna Irvine;
piano solo, selected, Joyce
Brownell; awarding of prizes.
The selection by the male
quartet, Messrs. Fulton, Prich
ard, Johnson and Yates, like all
their previous efforts, was most
acceptable. The wonderful ad
vancement made by Ruthyn
Turney in broadness of concep
tion and masterful interpretation,
since last heard, here was a sur
prise and delight to his auditors
A storm of ayplause followed his
violin solo, which continued un
til he responded with an encore.
The piano accompaniment, by
Miss Edith Gibson, was played
with much taste and added great
ly to the charm of the solo. The
selections of The Cecilian Chorus
were worthy of especial mention.
A feature not to be over looked
was the piano accompaniment
by Mr. Goodnough. Even here
the touch of the artist was evi
dent.
and appropriate, and while in
many respects the various roles
were crude in conception and un
furnished in presentation, much
natural talent was displayed and
the performers were earnest in
their efforts.
Miss Minnie Buxton presented
the senior mantle, and Fred
Stump received it on behalf of
Junior Class.
The prize contest by the class
in elocution drew a crowd which
filled the armory to the doors.
A first prize was contested for by
the gentlemen and first and sec
ond prizes were awarded the
ladies. The program was too
long to admit of individual crit
icism, and the decision of the
judges settles the question of su
periority. It must have been a
toss of the coin, with the judges,
however, to decide between Miss
Spangler, Miss Looney, Miss
Burton and Miss Holland. The
character bit ' 'Lias' ' undoubted
ly turned the scales in Miss
Looney 's favor and she was
awarded first honors. Miss Hol
land's rendition of "The Spinning-wheel
song" won for her
the second place. Of the gentle
men, Mr. Bilyeu was the choice
of the judges. The entire pro
gram was a credit to the perform
ers and their instructor. It was
as follows:
Music, male quartette; decla
mation, "Patrick Henry's Plea
for Liberty," George Thompson;
recitation, "The Old Actor's
Story," Ethel Kyle; recitation,
"Aux Italiens," Lulu Spangler;
"Fairyland Waltz, The Cecilian
Chorus; declamation, "The Twi
light of the Nineteenth Cen
tury," Thomas Bilyeu, recita
tion, "(a) How Grandma Danced
the Minuet (b) Lias (c) Polish
War Song;" Marguerite Looney;
violin solo, "Grand Fantasie,"
COMMENCEMENT. -
The dark clouds and drizzling
rains of Wednesday lessened in
no wise the commencement at
tendance. The audience was as
large as on any former like occas
ion, and the applause which fol
lowed each number on the pro
gram attested its merit. The
music by the orchestra, under di
rection of Mr. Turney, has never
been excelled at these annual ex
ercises. Two delightful numbers on
the program were vocal solos by
Miss Mabel Johnson. Since her
departure from this city she has
received instructions from some
of the best vocalists in the coun
try and her improvement is
marked and gives promise of a
brilliant future for this young
lady.
The class of 1900 has a mem
bership of thirty-seven. They
have chosen for their motto:
"Learn to see by seeing; learn
to do by doinsr." With the ex
ception of Mr. Lea, who is a
master of science, all have taken
the degree of Bachelor of Science.
The diplomas were presented by
President J. T. Apperson, of the
board of regents. Following
was the program:

vocation; Overture, "Lustspiel,"
Orchestra; Salutatory, "The
Ideal in the Actual," Miss Ma

ALUMNI RECEPTION.
Something would be lacking at
commencement time if it were
not for the program furnished by
the alumni. The one this year
was equal to any ever presented
by that body. After an overture
by the orchestra, and prayer by
Dr. Thompson, Dean Berchtold
presented the class of 1900 to the
alumni and it was received in a
neat and fitting speech by Presi
dent J. F. Yates. A piano solo
by Miss Edith Gibson was splen
didly executed and received
hearty applause. A recitation by
Arthur Stimpson was well receiv
ed, as was Miss Holland's vocal
selection. The annals, by W
E. Yates and Miss Anna Denman
were skillfully and humorously
handled, and afforded amusement
and items of interest. An ori
ginal poem by Lionel A. Johnson
was read by Prof. Helen Craw
ford, in the absence of the author.
The male quartette "Until the
Dawn," was delightful. Miss
Mildred Linville gave a select
reading with an ease and natural
ness which was refreshing. After
favoring the audience with a
vocal solo, Miss Mabel Johnson
was compelled to respond to an
encore. An address by com
mandant F. E. Edwards and a
selection by the orchestra closed
the program.
The alumni and newly acquir
ed members repaired to Cauthorn
Hall, where a banquet was held.
The affair was most enjoyable.

Her Representative Vill be Chosen
by Ballot.
A happy move on the part of the
committee having the Fourth of
July celebration in charge was the
placing of the choice of Goddess for
that occasion in the hands of the
people. Ballot boxes were placed
in the various business houses and
already the voting is spirited. Any
lady in the county is eligible, and
who the fortunate one will be is a
mere matter of conjecture. Each
day adds new names to the bulletin
board, and when the result of the
day's ballot appears at five o'clock
each afternoon, crowds gather to see
the DOSition held bv their favorite
candidate. This balloting serves a
double purpose. It arouses interest
in the coming celebration, and
everyone is given an opportunity
to contribute to its success and say
as emphatically as his pocketbook
will allow who in his opinion
should be goddess. Here is one in
stance where it is considered no
crime to buy votes, and the ballot
box is stuffed every day.
The result of today's count is as
follows:

THERE'S PROFIT IN TRADING HERE.
LADIES who wish to avoid
the bother of home work, or
the details of dressmaking, will
be interested in our new line of
dress skirts. All the fashionable
fabrics of the season are included
in the line, and the skirts have the
fit and "hang" af the best dress
makermade. Take a look at
them and you will agree with us.
Prices from 45c to $6 50
GROCERY selling in a depart
ment store" no longer attracts
attention because of its novelity,
but for the reason that the best of
food products costs less there than
the exclusive grocer charges.
This store is easily in the lead in
this respect. Our grocery de
partment is appreciated .by well
posted buyers because it offers an
opportunity to supply the family
needs in this line at closest prices.
Country produce taken.
"lAHENEVER you find a
' properly organized and
rightly conducted men's furnish
ing stock in a dry goods store
there you will find a successful
one. Men no longer shun dry
goods store furnishings, for they
know they can get correct styles
at close prices. We invite the
attention of our customers to an
especially fine and complete line
of neckwear just opened.
C HOE value consists in wear,
style and comfort. If any
of the three are lacking the foot
wear is not good value. Our
shoes are strictly reliable in qual
ity, therefore long wearing; they
are stylish, as can be seen at a
glance; they are comfortable, be
cause fitted by an expert. All
our customers will bear out these
statements. We believe this is
the best place for you to buy shoes,
I and solicit your patronage.
F.L . Miller.
Every item offered below is proof of
the above assertion.
The quotations are only a very meagre representa
tion of the values which place this store unquestionably
in the lead. This store is crowded with the most com
plete and comprehensive stock of dry goods we have
ever shown. Every line was bought at close prices, and
the goods will be passed along to our customers at the
usual small margin of profit which has made this store
so successful and popular.
The New Spring Parasols
Are Here,
This store offers many attractions to
economical buyers.
A store that relies solely on low prices to win and
hold trade is playing "a losing game." To win such
success as this store is winning it is necessary that the
low prices should represent goods of strictly reliable
quality. Every woman in this city who is posted on dry
goods, and who takes the time to compare goods and
prices will admit that our values are superior. We make
and hold customers by treating them right. We lead;
others follow.
F you want a stylish spring hat
for $3.00, just as good as the
$5. 00 kind, come here. The only
difference is in the absence of the
name, and "what's in a name."
If you are willing to pay two dol
lars for a name, buy the five dol
lar hat. If you want to pay only
for the hat, come here. Agent
for Kingburry hats.
OUR glove stock is the best
patronized and most popular
in this vicinity, because we make
a constant effort to show a larger
line, and offer better glove values
than any other local dealer. It is
not easy to do a satisfactory kid
glove business. It requires long
experience, careful buying, con
scientious selling and a willing
ness to be content with a small
profit. We recognize all these
requirements and conform to them.
That's why Corvallis women can
get better gloves here for the
price than elsewhere.
3 EFORE your spring gown
are fitted a new corset wil
be needed. That goes almost
without saying, for everyone
knows that an ill-fitting or worn
out corset spoils the fit of the
dress. Our corset woman can
help customers select the proper
model one that will improve the
figure.- Consult her and you will
be better satisfied with your cor
set, and the fit of your dresses.
Prices from 50c to $1.50
RECENTLY advances have
taken place in all lines of
cotton goods. Before the advance
we stocked up with cords of do
mestics shirtings, sheetings,
ginghams, prints, and other cot
ton goods. We are now selling
these goods at just about what
other merchants have to pay for
them at present prices. You will
find this store a good place to sup
ply your needs in this line.
F. L. Miller.
