roadside and upset. Mr. Fruit and
the "knight ef the grip" were
thrown out accompanied by a cou
ple of large trunks. The traveling
gentleman was severely, bruised by
the fall, and so was Mr. Fruit, the
latter having his leg jammed and,
it is thought, oi.e of his fingers dis
located. Luckily the' team did not
escape and no damage was done

proceeded to Airlie without further

Rev. Joseph Emery arrived from

mencement exercises at the College.
Mr. Emery was a member of the i
faculty of the Oregon Agricultural
College from 1868 to 1885. This
is his first visit to the institution
since it began the development
which has made it the leading. edu
cational institution in this state.

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

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.

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-

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.

Ladies Won the Cup.
Broke Even.
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. Here they are:
