every respect. The races were good
and were conducted on sportsman
like principles. At the races Thurs

state fair that Mr- White attended
in Oregon. He was quite well
pleased with what he saw and says
that the stock on exhibition com
pared favorably with what he had
seenin tha East The only differ
ence was that there is more of it in
the East than in Oregon, but not

There Is Luck.
There are people - who claim
thete is no such - thing -as luck.
On the' other hand, we fincLthose
who pin their faith to the decla
ration that there is only bad luck
those who" declare . in favor of
the proposition are scarce, It is
believed that T. H. Harris, of
this cityt will tell you that hff
has faith in the theory of good
lack.
Some time ago, " while passing
along the street near the Farra &
Allen building-, he chanced to
look in the grass along the side
walk and saw ; something that
looked valuable. He gathered
up the object, together with some
grass, leaves, -mud, etc., and toot
his handful of debris to the store
add washed it out. When he
got through at the pump he had
"cleaned up" a five dollar bill.
During the past summer Mr.
Harris went down .to'-. California
tor his health, and to visit a
brother who lives in Oakland.
One day as the two of them pass
ed along the street Mr. Haras
saw a lady's purse lying on tne
walk, and thinking perhaps it
was' there as a practical joke,
kicked it. His brother and some
bystanders took the same view of
it, and the loiterers viewed the
scene with every show of amuse
ment. After kicking the purse
and passing it, Mr. 1 Harris told
his brother he believed he would
return and pick it up, which he
did. On opening it he found
that it contained a lady's gold
watch and chain, a diamond ring,
and a brooch. Although every
effort was made to find the partv
who had lost the purse, it proved
unavailing.
While in Oakland a fellow en
tered the place of business of Mr.
Harris' brother, offering lottery
tickets for sale. One or two par
ties who were present purchased
25-cent tickets, but Mn Harris
at first declined. After , some
persuasion, he was induced to
take a ticket, "just for the fun of
the thing." This ticket drew
Sioo. Mr. Harris kept the $100,
jfbut left the purse and its con
tents with his-brother when he
came home. The wonder is that
Mr. Harris does not go to Oak
land to reside-for him it is a
lucky spot.
The foregoing is what may be
termed the "lucky" side of the
proposition... Now for the. nega
tive: ; In the not too remote past,
'Gene Simpson, who clerks for
F. X,. Miller of this city, dropped
a quarter of a dollar on the floor.
It rolled under the safe. 'Gene
secured a sharp stick and tried to
punch the quarter out of its place
of seclusion. Lying prone upon
the floor, he prodded long and
vigorously, but was onlyable to
unearth a 5 -cent . piece. This is
the unlucky side now say there
is no such thing as lucli, good or
bad.
Musical Director Selected.
The committee appointed by
the board ot regents to select a
director of music to fill that chair
at the O. A. C, has chosen Mr.
Mordaunt Goodnough of this
city. Delay in selecting an in
structor in this department, has
been due to eftorU on the part of
the committee to secure a person
competent to teach both vocal
and instrumental music .Find
ing this impossible, the commit
tee made haste to secure Mr.
Goodnough for the instrumental
department. An instructor c in
vocal music will be added later.
The committee's selection will be
highly popular in this city. Mr.
Goodnough has proved his fitness
for the position, and he nas the
confidence of his pupils and the
community.
A course of music, covering a
period of four years,- will be es
tablished and students will te
graduated from this department.
Credit will be given pupils for
work in music the same as that
in other studies. Graduates will
be brought up to a performance
of the works of Mozart, Weber
and the lighter sonatas of Beetho
ven. -

Burned to the Ground.
Early Saturday morning the
farm house on what ; is known to
old-timers as ..the Prior Scott
place took fire and burned to the
ground. '.The place is now the
property of James Hays,- and he
had it rented to James " Gray.
Just how the place caught fire is
not known, but it is supposed to
have resulted -s from a defective
flue. -' '. :
Just what loss Mr. Gray suffer
ed is not known, but it is relia
bly reported that - he was heavily
damaged notwithstanding he
fact that some few articles of fur
niture and .other r effects were
saved.- The house was valued at
$1,200 or $1,500 and was built a
number of years ago by "John
Huffman. It was better than the
average farm house.
When Mr. Hays , heard of the
fire it is reported that he accepted
the news in his characteristic
manner and,: for perhaps the first
time in his life, his iavonte ex
pression, muttered, on tais occa-
sion.'was approoriate., At nrst
he was certain tbat there was no
insurance on the building and ar
gued the matter with his wife.
When she thought of looking up
some policies they - held he told
her to save herselt the trouble, as
he very well knew , that the in
surance that had been placed on
the house some time ago had
been - allowed to lapse. Mrs.
Hays, however, -. had the last say,
and hunted through their papers,
which resulted in her finding
that they held an insurance poli
cy on the house for $1,000, is
sued by an old line company.

its kind. This season is all new, origi
nal and funny. The singing is. as per
fect as is heard ia the very best of opera
companies. The -specialties cannot be
beaten and are decidedly laughable and
intensely interesting as ' Beach & Bowers
have called to their assistance an array
of talent that places their company in
the van of minstrelsy. The minstrel
boys are young, active and up to date
and seem r untiring ia their efforts to
