Yates has per fected arrangements for his family tc move to Vancouver, Wash., and it is probable that they will go this week. "In many weeks," says the Port land, Journal "there has been no play at the Empire Theatre which has aroused greater euthusiasm than "Honest Hearts." The commodious new residence of A. E. Lewis is rearing comple tion, in Job's addition. It is im mediately west of the Jackson home. Chae. Heckart is the con tractor. Abe Steckle, cousin of D r. Steckle, who was stricken with typhoid fever soon after he arrived in Corvallis, in September, is re covering, the nurse having left on Friday. E. P Wing went to Alsea, Satur day, to start teaching echool over there. Although new to this state as a teacher, the gentleman had considerable experience in the East as relates to this vocation. ' Miss Lizzie Mercer, well known in thiB vicinity, is reported very seriously ill at her home on Beaver Creek. She has been in ill health for over a year,1 and fears are enter tained that she may not recover from the present illness. Rev. C. A. Hyatte, former pastor of the M. E. church. South, in this city, paid Corvallis a visit the last of the week. Rev. Hyatte has been for some time a resident of Port land, but was on his way to Cali fornia to attend a conference of his church. Henry Bristow arrived home from Portland, Friday, where for three weeks he has been at the bed' side of his little son, who has been operated on for an unusually se vere caEe of appendicitis. The lad is recovering and it is thought will soon be entirely well. Mr. Bristow resides at Bellefountain.

The delivery horse ran up Main street, peddling out a sack of sugar and other packages on the way, and in front of the Simpson Hardware the front with them the horse ran on, being captured in the south part of town No damage was done. 'W'T j j 1 . . . il 1 " w up 10 tne present, me numDer oi hunters' license issued in Benton county this year is 456. This means that $456 is . the amount of cash that has been turned into Benton county towards the prote& tion of her game, and the wonder is have we got our just share of pro tectum? - Corvallis has reason to be proud of her , big public schools. A fine corps of teachers, a healthier, hap pier and noisier lot of pupils, and more sightly, well-equipped build ings would be hard to find., Th enrollment this year so far is 526, about 30 more than at this time last vear. and more dudUb vet to enter. Sylvester Armitage, an OAC stu- anr. lotr. I hnrsnnv tnr H.ntrpno In attend the funeral of his father, who was one of tbe actors in the Marshfield shooting affair mentioned in Tuesday's Oregoniar. The elder Armitage, as it appears, attempted to force his attentions on a married woman, and-being refused admis sion to her house, entered through a window and shot her through the heart, not, however, until she had fired through the door at bim, the j shot taking effect in his head. Ar mitage walked to his own home, where he expired from the effects of the wound. The remaining mem bers of the Armitage family reside near Eugeue, and are respectable people. " Young Armitage is the lad who had bis neck nearly broken recently, during - a Sophmore and Frefahmen' class frolic on the OAC grounds near the fountain. Will Buoy, an old-time resident of this county, has oeen in Corvallis unng the past few davs'on busi ness and pleasure'. He is now in ( the real estate business in Portland ud says he is getting along nicely. A large crowd of Albany people were in attendance at tne iootoaii game, baturdav. lne motor car came up from Monmouth and Inde pendence with a large crowd of people from that section. In fact, football enthusiasts were here from all over the state. The dance given at the Armory, Saturday evening, was a very pleas ng event and was well attended. It was given by the Sorosis and Feronian societies of OAC in honor of the football team also the vis ling team from Pullman, Washing ton. Will Kechter and pianist, of Albany, and Harry Beard and Ruihyn Turney, of this city, furnish- pd the music. Harvey Sargent will leave Corval lis during the latter part of the week for Portland, from which point he will depart early next week, in company with nis daugnter lor Anzona. b or some time his daughter has been in the open air sanitarium in Portland and is doing nicely. In order to insure a con tinuance of improvement in her health Mr. aSrgent is taking her to Arizona. "Honest Hearts" played all last week in Portland to immense bouses. Tire Poitland papers with out exception 'sieak in highest praise of the play and the players. Monday's Journal among other thing says "Thepompany is well balanced and the roles are played with more than ordinary strength." Corvallis theatre goers can expect something better than usual Fri day evening of this week when "Honest Hearts ' is to occupy the boards. Tomorrow Coach Steckle, will start with his aggregation of football boys from (JAU to do battle on the gridiron of Berkeley, California, next Saturday . We hope to win. But there are many things that conspire against .success in every event of this nature. However, figure it any way you will, it seems that our chances are good. It is not wise to be over sanguine, but were we compelled to take one end of a wager in this matter our choice would unhesitatingly fall on OAC. as we know we have a team worthy any man's confidence. Here's luck to the boys. , The following local could have been read in Saturday's Oregonian Dr. James Witbycombe, director of the Oregon Agricultural College, at Corvallip, will deliver an address before the Oregon Acadetty of Science, at the City Hall, tonight, at 8 o'clock. His subject will be "ScieDce and the Farm." Prof. A. B. Cord ley, of Corvallis. will give paper on "Insect and Fungus Diseases of Oregon Fruit Trees " AU persons interested are cordially invited to attend. A special invi tation is issued to members of the Oregon Grange, as boti speakers are well known among tne farmers as well as the scientists of the state. The Pullman football boys pur chased tbe black . bear of the Cor vallis Social and Athletic Club and used it as a mascot in the game Saturday. Thy had it dressed in a suit of flaming red (the Washing ton colors) and the contrast of red against a black background , was very Btn king. We are informed that they paid $30 for bruin, k The club recently purchased the bear for $10. ' The reason they bad for purchasing the new mascot was on account of the OAC boys stealing a dog they had brought along to fill this r .'sponsible'position. However, tbe OAC boys returned , the dog before the Pullmanites left the city. As it was, our ' visitors departed with their new mascot as well as the one they brought with them. It was also thought that they took "Dewey," the well-known and high ly respected local dog, when they departed. William .Lawrence, one of OAC's splendid tackles on the first football team, accidently shot himself, Sun day. Lawrence and another foot ball man, McKinnon, were out of town a short distance on the u. & &. track for the purpose of having some target practice with a revolv er and m some manner Lawrence shot himself, the - bullet going through the fleshy part of his left leg about three inches above the ankle. .Luckily no bones were broken, but , he will be out of the game with Berkeley next Saturday Lawrence played tackle and came from Nevada. His place on tbe team in the game with Berkeley will be filled by Griffith. : How long he will be laid up depends wholly on the amount of inflam mation that - develops and whether tbe flesh is poisoned by the par ticles of his clothnSg that were -carried through the leg with the ball. A . 38-calibre revolver caused the wound. Received Many Visitors. The reception yiven Thursday evening by J. M. NoUn & Son at their model store, far exceeded their expectations, according to what we hear. This statement appears easy of belief, as no one wuld have . expected such a crowd as visited their place of business on this occasion. The store was not-thrown open to the public until 7:30 in the ev ening, and many were grouped about the sidewalk aw. iting the open stsame that should admit them. It was like fairyland within. The special decorator of of the establishment, Cecil Cathey assisted bv the salesladies and others abjut the store, had done their work in up-to-the-minute art style. Fine goods, electric lights, vines, 'plants, and manv other featnres of decoration made this emporium almost Oriental in its gorgeousness. For an hour and a-half our citizens came and went and the store was crowded all the time with those whose special purpose was to admire the goods on dis play and tofcrm an idea of the mammoth stock carried. Many went to listen to the music of Turney' s orchestra. All were graciously received and accorded a hearty welcome by everyone in any way connected with the establishment. More than 600 people called during the evening and fully this number received souvenirs. The carbon burned out during the evening and there was a scurry for lanterns, candles and matches. Much merriment ensued for all concerned during the short period of darkness. The accident to the lights was of short duration, as the connection was soon made, but the incident was such that the occasion was rendered even mors memorable. Shortly after the hour of 9 the final departure of guests came and the proprietors and others at the store were the recipients of cheerful "good nights," congratulations, and hearty prophecies of, a successful future.

Woodward. Fun eral services were held at 10 o'clock yesterday morning at the United Evangelical church, of which she was a member, and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. T. Hurd. Deceased was born May 21st, 1851, on a donation land claim on Mary's river not far from Philo math, and her maiden name was Cornelia Allen, her father being Hiram Allen. She received her schooling in Philomath. In 1869 she was married to E. Woodward. This was 36 years ago, and 34 of these years were passed in this city at the home where her death occurred. Her husband and two children, Don and Miss Winona Woodward, sur vive her. During life Mrs. Woodward was a very earnest worker for the furtherance of all that prorr ised a better and more moral life. She was an enthusiastic member of the W. C. T. U. and had also become a member of the United Evangelical church some years ago. A complication of ailments is supposed -to have carried her away. Many friends from a distance attended the funeral services yes terday and there was a profusion of beautiful floral tributes. In terment was made in Newton cemetery. At Coryallis yebterclay afternoon the Pullman Giants met defeat at the hands Of the OAC eleven to the tune of 29 to 0. The defeat was a most decided one, and the Wash ington boys, though larger and heavier than their . Oregon oppon ents, found they were up against i hard proposition. The held on which they played was like their own, bard and dry, and they ex pected to do good work, better, in fact, than what they accomplished in Salem : a few days ago. There they 'met , defeat by a score of 11 to 6, and they laid their reverse to the fact that the soft sawdust field was. against them, and on a hard and dry field they - thought they could do better work.
