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

Dr. James Witbycombe, director of
the Oregon Agricultural College, at

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.

AU persons interested are cordially
invited to attend. A special invi

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.

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.

At her residence in this city, at
10:30 o'clock last Saturday morn
ing, occurred the deafen of Mrs.
Cornelia Woodward, wife of ex-
County Judge E. 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

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. Albany bun
