Mr. Emery was a member of the i faculty of the Oregon Agricultural College from 1868 to 1885.

Mr. and Mrs. Emery will return to Eugene the latter part of this week for a month's visit with their daugh ter, Mrs. Lake, and will then pro ceed to their home in California. The College campus was thronged with ppectalors, yesterday after noon, to witness the exhibition drill by 'the cadet battalion. This was followed by the competitive drill by the non-commissioned officers. The prize, a gold nudal, was awarded to M. W. Bartmess. T A similar con test between privates was won by Cadet Root, who was also awarded a gold medal. The exercises com eluded with the presentation of a gold watch to Major Edwards from the officers .of the battalion. The cadets were drawn up in line on the campus and Professor tJerchtold stepped forward and in a neat speech presented the watch to Ma jor Edward's. The latter was tak en completely by surprise, and was so overcome with emotion th-'t- hp souM scarcely' f.x .hi a fpr.-v i Nearly Seven Thousand Tickets Were Sold During Carnival Week. Receipts Were $2,600 Corvallis is getting back to nor mal aeain. Last week was one of excitement and tumult. With the carnival aud side attractions and preparations for commence ment at the College the average citizen has been joing on half allowance of sleep and food. But the Hindu and the Turk, the clown and the street fakirs have folded their tents and silently slipped away, Where stood the i werry-goround, tne Japanese theatre and lhe Streets of Cairo, there is now' but wreckage and confetti. Flags and banting still envelope business houses and public buildings, aud pretty wih dpw decorations still attest the enterprise of bur merchants. But the period of relaxation is upon us, and each one is taking a mental inventory of his or her share oF the profit and pleasure. The WW. en of the World, to whom CoTvallis is indebted for her first carnival- know only approximately what their part cf the net receipts will be. The total amount of revenue taken in was $2,600. Of this sum the Woodmen get ten per cent. The threatening weather kept many at home and the attendance was not what was expected. Wed nesday, 1406 persons passed into the main entrance: Thursday, 1630 were admitted; Friday was the record maker with 2065 tick ets sold, and Saturday, 1632 per sons witnessed the show. The feature Thursday nisht was the prize drill between Woodmen teams from Monmouth and Corvallis. The judges, Cap tain -Hardin and Captains Beattie and Johnson, of the cadet battal ion, awarded the prize to the vis iting team. A great crowd gathered to wit ness the balloon ascension and parachute jump at 11 o'clock Friday morning. The weather was ideal lor the event. There was scarcely a breath of wind and the sky was clear. When released, the ball rose rapidly to an elevation of 3,000 feet, taking a slight easterly direction. When the parachute was cut loose it opened immediately and descend ed easily, landing Aeronaut Mil ler safely in G. Hodes' 4 garden patch. Theballcoa fell on Main street a little further south. Fourteen babies were entered for the baby , show Friday after noon, and tne audience was com posed principally of . women. The judges awarded first prize to the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Trask. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Bethers' baby boy was awarded second prize. The public wedding was an nounced as the attraction for Sat urday night, but there was a hitch somewhere and no knots were tied. The crowd amused itself riding on Holy Moses and throw ing confetti into the eyes and mouths of the unwary. . Judge Greffbz. Imagine if you can, dear reader, his consterna tion when he saw before him an old gentleman in a blue uniform with brass, buttons. , Poor old officer! In all his life this was the first time he had ever, in any manner, raised his hand against a comrade or even admitted such a person could be guilty of a misdemeanor. So soon as he could speak, he said, in broken tones, "My God, what have I done! Locked up my. poor old comrade! This makes me sick!" And it was so evident that he was sick" that no one doubted bis sincerity whdn be so stated, '. It 19 rumorea tutu tne man wuo was 'jugged" was'orily suffering from a headache and this 13 what caus ed him to stagger, so much the night before. Th9 President's Courtesy. Will Close at Six. A Terrible Mistake. It is seldom, indeed, that there is an occasion of public amuse ment or rejoicing that does not bring remorse or sorrow to some one. During the festivities of the past week, when the majority of our citizens were in gala attire and fired with the enthusiasm that pervaded the atmosphere, one good man at least was made miserable by a mistake he him self committed. It was deemed wecessary by the authorities to place on duty a number, of extra- police in order tj control any unruly and dis orderly element that might ap pear. Among the special officers selected' was an old soldier whose name shall be unknown. Suffice it to say that the G. A. R. man loves an old soldier above all be ings, and one who once bore arms in his country's service could commit no sin in his eyes. While on duty one night this special officer saw a man stagger ing . along, to all appearances somewhat inebriated.. Without any particular gentleness he seiz ed the party by the arm and in formed him that he was guilty of a misdemeanor and would have to go to the city jail for lodging until morning. He lurther in formed his prisoner that in the morning he would appear against him and said offender must be prepared' to pay a fine. Having done this, he proceeded to lock his man up. It being dark, of course the special officer could not see what sort oi a "catch" he had made, moreover the officer's eyes are not sa good as they used to be. J The 'following morning the officer appeared' and proceeded to unlock hi- man in order to cbn vtv him into the presence of At intervals during the past few years efforts have been made to induce the various merchants and balers rf this city to close their places of business at an earlier hour than they were in the habit of doingr It proved a difficult task to induce all to agree to-.this proposition, and . all past efforts failed. However, quite recently the matter was again taken up and met with the desired result the approval of all. Saturday afternoon an agree ment was reached by the busi ness men of this city, whereby they are to close their respective places at 6 o'clock every evening, Saturday excepted- This act on the part of the business men went into effect last evening. It is understood that those doing business in Philomath will, if they have not already, act in har mony with their fellow merchants in this city. This appears to be a wise move on the part of these gentlemen, as it will give them and their employes an opportun ity for a little rest and recreation, and they will transact the same amount of business and enjoy the same patronage, although the business will-be confined to fewer.hours. Nor will it greatly interfere with' patrons; in fact, it should not inconvenience them at all when it is - generally understood at what hour trading must cease. In this matter our business men are bat following in the footsteps of the merchants of other cities. Following is the agreement reached and the sig natures of those who signed it: Corvallis, Or., June. 12, 1903. We the undersigned merchants of the city of Corvallis agree "to close our place of business com mencing at 6 o'clock June 17th and every evening until further notice, Saturday evening ex- ceptted: John H.

Wherever, there is a monarch- ial form of government there is a vast trulf between the head or ruler of the empire and the sub jects. Nor is there any connect? ing link between the subject and his sovereign. Vastly different is it in this country, as the fol lowing . incident will show. When President Roosevelt and his party' passed through Albany on their recent tour of the West, many Corvallisites went over to see tho party, Among others wete Mr, and- Mrs. August Fischer, and they succeeded in passing a most beautiful boquet to the president. Attached to the floral tribute Was their card. The presidential traih rolled aWay and Mr. andMrs Fischer thought no more of the matter. Last Friday a letter addressed to the last mentioned parties ar rived in this city. It was found to be a neatly worded acknowl edgment in behalf of the presi dent for the receipt of boquet. It was type-written on White House stationery and bore the pen-and-ink signature of Secre tary Loeb. private secretary of President Roosevelt. The whole was enclosed in a plain white en velope .of fine quality,' andi on the upper left-hand corner, in raised letters of Gothic type, j printed in bVonze blue, were the words "White House." To many people this little in cident would have no significance, but it betokens at least two things. In the first place it shows that great care is taken to keep account of the many cour tesies extended to the chief ex ecutive of this great republic and the pains taken to fittingly ob serve them. From the fact that a record is kept of all these acts of good will on the part of the citizens, it is plain that they ap peal to the president and are that he is what he claims to be, the people's president. In the second place it renders obvious the fact that the people ot this great land are not far removed from those to whose ability, hon esty and integrity are entrusted the reins of government. W.

The debate for the Gatch cup at the College chapel last Satur day night opened the exercises for commencement week. The debate was the final one in the series that began at the opening of the school year last fall, and much interest was aroused over the outcome. The contestants in Saturday nights debate were representa tives of the Pierian and Zete- gathean societies. The members of the former team' were Miss Sibyl Cummings, Miss Minnie Smith and Miss Mabel Abbe, while the Zetegatheans were rep resented . by Messrs. , Claiborne Shepard, Teroah Scott and J. C. Clark. The Zrtegatheans up held the affirni3'ive of the ques tion "Resolved, That the Im peachment of Andrew Johnson was Justifiable." The ladies combatted this idea, maintaining that Johnson endeavored to on-x tinue the policy of Iyincoln and good grounds for impeachment did not exist. The iudges, T. H." Wilson, Rev. E. F. Green and John Fulton, rendered a decision in "favor of the negative. During the evening the audi- euce was iavored .witn a vocal solo by Professor Shaw and a violin solo by MissVerna Kerker. The faculty and seniors broke even in their two championship contests on Agricultural field last Saturday afternoon The weather was a trifle' cold and no records were broken in the track meet, which theacuity lost by a score of 44 to 46, but the 5-inning baseball game was a hair raiser. The faculty took this' contest with a score of 8 to 7 in their favor, and they had an inning up their sleeves. The 300 spectators, who sat in tne grand stand, were kept in breathless suspense during the exciting events on track and field. The result was in doubt until the last moment and the strain upon the nerves of ( the spectators was something terrible. Many - surprises crept in during the afternoon; Professor Knisely stunt in- the pole vault being the feature of the contest. The fac ulty" lay -their defeat to the ab sence of Professor Phillips. Sec ond place in the shot put would have won the meet for them, and Phillips was backed heavily for these three points, but . - Those who .took places in the various events were too modest to claim credit, and only apartial list of the point winners could be learned.
