V ; Citizen Dabler, according to re- ports, which it is said were heard by all in his neighborhood, came near getting a blowing up one day this week. Mr. Tunntson, who was passing the Dabler home, was quite shocked, but entered to investigate the origin of the disturbance. Cit izen. Dabler stood, razing in silent. but open-eyed wonderment at the remnants of what had been a cook- stove, in a room filled with smoke and ashes. '"Where do you get your wood l" enquired Mr. Tunmson by way introduction. '.'Just gather it up arouad, was the sepulchral an swer. This is believed by some to account for the explosion, while others hold to the therry that it was chargable to wood alchohol. Last Monday evening a number of Masons drove over to Albany to witness the Temple degree conferred upon . Uhipmau, H. w. Hall, and . JN. Wilkms of this city, at ; special conclave held Jor that pur pose by lemple Commatidry No. : of Albany. A . large number, of visitors were present . from 4be neighboring towns, among them being Supreme Justice C E Wol verton, Circuit Judge Geo H Bur nett, Dr. Albert Jessup, Dr. W II Byrd, E A Pearce, H D PMtoH, E S Clark, W H Cook, of Salem, Hon WE Yates, J .Fred Yale?,. N P Peterson, N. .B Avery, Prof J - B Horner, J F Fulton and T H Craw ford, of Corvallis. Aiter'lodge an e'aborate . banquet . was spread and toasts by a number of the visitors an-1 home Inights concluded the evening's program. ' '- The Webfeet Were Ia It. 'Horner Angell, of The Dalles, and Dick Smith, another Oregon graduate, went to Columbia Uni versity, New York, to study law, says a recent issus of the Tele gram." Although, greatly inter ested ia football work, the two VVebfeit decided not to partici pate in the sport, but confine' their energies to Blackstone. However, they wandered to the sidelines each evening and watched the vasrity and "scrub" elevens - at practice. Some of the flippaiit easterners learned ot the football renown of the two Oregon lads, and passed light rainarks in their presence tell ing them if they, were such "crackajacks" they had better enter the game. This offer the the boys declined with thanks, but the Columbia roosters took up the cry of "cold feet," at which our boys' promised -to come oat jast tor one practice. When they appeared on the field next afternoon the Colum bians gave them the "ha-ha." They immediately sized Smith up as a big "stiff," iu college parlance, and Angell, who has but one hand, was jast a com mon "mark." The coach set the Oregonians oa the "scrub" team, and both immediately dis tinguished themselves by mag nificent defensive work. When the "scrubs" took the ball, it was passed back to Smith, who was playing half-back. With out waiting for interference, he broke through varsity line and, giving the "straight-arm"" to half a dozen men. rushed tip al most the entire length of the field and made a touch down. He was able to outran the swift men behind the Columbia line and scored on the varsity, something that isn't often done in a big college. The players, coachers and rooters immedi ately swarmed about the Eugene man and began ' to feel Ms mus cles and eye him in perfect won derment. When asked if there were any more in Oregon like him, Smith replied; . "The woods are full of 'em." Smith has positivelly declined to' play any more football, but says.he just wanted to show the eastern ers that Oregon wasn t so slow. Had Considerable Fan. Corvallis . boys had consider able fun on hallowe'en night,- at least to judge from the. reports coming from our neighbor town. One party made up of promi nent young men, well known in Albany, made a raid on a chicken house and ' just about the time they emerged from the hen roost with an armful of fancy Plymouth Rocks, a special officer appeared on Ahe scene and escorted two ot the boys to the calaboose. The rest 6f the crowd suddenly made themselves scarce. The next morning , the two cap tives appeared in the Police Court and entered a plea of guilty and the Judge assessed them each $10 and. costs for their fun. The boys were over to' Albany the other night and it cost them several boxes of candy and all kinds of trinkets to quell the good natared disturbance. Herald. Additional Local.

Open Here Monday Night. The Fischer-Van Cleve Com pany closed their week's engage ment at the armory last night with "East Lyne." Every seat ia the house was sold before the box office opened and people bought second class standing room with a rush. It was a mighty jam, but the crowd was satisfied with the splendid presentation of this- old-time piece Babe Fischer as Lady Isabel, was at her best, and won hearty ap plause for her perfect interpretation of the character. Bert P Van Cleve as Sir Francis Levinson and Mrs Van Cleve as Miss Carlyle were good. ; Lord Severn was well taken care taken of by- J. B. McCowell. The other characters were well sus tained. The company have played to packed houses every night and when, they play their return en gagement a month hence they will be greeted in the, same manner.
