That dreadful malady, appendi citis, claimed another victim in Corvailis, Tuesday afternoon, when Jesse Skaggs of Summit succcmbed to its power, after a brief illness. The young man was brought in from Summit Sunday evening and was taken to the home of Mr. and Tom Bell where he was cared for and received careful medical atten tion, but the case was serious from the first and all that could ; oe oone oy nuroan agency was ! of no avail. j Deceased was a sou of Joseph 'and Mary Skaggs, and was born at Summit 21 years ago the 2d of , next month. He was an honor- oimv y v u u e 1x1 a .j. w uu uau uiau y friends, and his early death has I 'caused dee'o erief in his bovhood home. The immediate urviv- ors are the parents, six brothers and three sisters. The remains were taken to Summit Wednesday afternoon and services were held at Mc Fa'rland ctmetery where inter ment was made. The family has the sympathy of all in this great loss. Wrangle Ended. Many Corvailis women will be interested in an item concerning Mrs. Osnian Rcyal, of Portland, who has in the past been i &ivaliis wbeie she participated in a meeting of the W. H. M. S ana was euieriaiuea oy tne church ladies. It seems that sometime ago. contrary to rules end regulations, Mrs. F. W. Brooks, then presi dent of the Portland society, called a meeting and elected ot ficers, against the authority 01 Mrs. Royal, who insisted thai the action was illegal sioCi tru meeting was not called at the timt named by the society. Re garding the outcome of the he.-.t ed controversy that has followed, the Journal Tuesday says: In a letter recently received here from Mrs. Delia L. Williams of Delaware, Ohio, corespouding secretary of the Woman's Home Missionary society, the action of Mrs. F. W. Brooke, ex-president ot the local society, calling a tneetirg for June 26, at which a new set of officers were elected, is entirely repudiated at.d de clared to be contrary to the con stitution of the organization. In the same letter the attitude of Mrs. Royal is clearly sus tained. The letter plainly states that the meeting of June 26 was illegal and that the officers elect ed at that time have no authority to serve. The result of this is that Mrs. Royal is the chief executive officer of the state organization and remains as such until the annual election in the fall. SMITHSON WON. Examiner Tells How OAC Athlete "Showed" Them. OAC was represented in the big track and field meet held in San Francisco the Fourth. Forrest Smithson was there and proved conclusively to the ath letes of the Golden State that Oregon is not so slow as some people wculd like to have her. In regard to how Smithson, the old OAC favorite, "showed" the Californians, the San Fran cisco Examiner says: ''Interest centered principally in the 220-yard high hurdle event in which Smithson, who equaled the world's record of 15 2-5 seconds a month ago in Chicago, met PowelL,.balder of thcrecord. of the Pacific coast, 15 3-5 sec onds, and Cheek, who holds the 220-yard hurdle record. The men got off their marks together while the crowd of 10,000 held their breaths, and ran abreast un til within twenty yards of the tape, when Smithson pulled away with a stride that astonished the onlookers bv its length and he seemed to draw Cheek with him. Powell started to stretch out an instant too late, and they passed the iudges in that order in a blanket finish. Fiom the start it was plain that the wind was holding them back and the clock showed 16 2-s seconds for the race." William Newman. After an illness of considerable length, William Newman, an old and highly respected citisea of Benton county died at the fumily home 12 miles south of Corvailis at 11:30 Tuesday fore noon. Those at the bed side, and neighbors and friends were prepared for the end, as Mr. Newman had been failing rapidly the last week or two. Deceased was born in County Mead, Irelaud, and was 71 vears of age. He came to the United States when "18 years old and in 1867 came to Oregon and settled in Beuton county where he has since made his h -me. He was an honorable, upright citizen and a very large number of friends will ever bear him in affectionate remembrance. The survivors are the widow, two sous, Lee a cd Tom who ar at home, ana anothe: son, James, who resides in Eastern Oregon. The funeral occured yesterdav at 10 o'clock from the family residence, a lare company of mends and relatives being pres eut to p-sy a last tribute of rep-Ct. The remains were brought to the Catbo'ic ceaietery near this ciiy vvhere interment was inide.

Joshua Ballard Gashed With Scythe by Neighbor. It is presumed that the Joshua Ballard referred to in the follow ing article is the same person who resided near Philomath in this county for several years, as the name is not a common one. The cutting affair occurred in Albany and the Herald says: Weilding a sharp sevthe with terrible effect, David Young, a well known painter of this city, last night slashed and cut bis neighbor Joshua Ballard, inflict ing fearful injuries which may Drove fatal. Young as yet is not arrested. "Bad blood," which is said to have existed between the two men, is given as the reasons leading up to the cutting affray. According to the story of Mrs. Ballard, she and her husband had just left their house in the eastern p:irt of town, and were going af ter some hay. As they passed Young's house, he is said to have come out to the gate, which was standing open barring passage along the sidewalk, as if to close the gate. Young is said to have reached the gate just as Mr. and Mrs. Ballard passed, and without warning he reached out and struck Ballard in the face, knock ing him down. Young then, ac cording to Mrs. Ballard, wrench ed the scythe away from her hus band's grasp and used it to attack Ballard, who was lying prostrate oa the ground. Finally Young desisted and Mrs. Ballard aided her almost unconscious husband to the house . where he . was at tended by Dr. Hill. Ballard lost much blood. He received a deep cut over the lelt eye, and a slash which laid his scalp open. The man's wrist was badly cut, and the tendon in the left arm severed. At O. A. C. Great changes will have been wrought out at the Oregon Agri cultural College before another year comes to a close. Besides the new Woman's building now in course ot construction, waicn is one of the finest of the sort to be found in this section, and the Y. M. C. A. home that is under way, there will be new barns on the college farm to cost $15,000, new machine and othv.r shops to cost $4,000, and $ sooo is also available for any other improve ments that are wanted. Plans for the shops have been prepared and the arrangements are under way for the barn. These facts mean progress, and show the growth thatO. A. C. is making along these lines. There 'are many who predict that next year will see 1000 stud ents enrolled at OAC, and the prediction, in view of last year's record, seems likely to be fulfilled. Hog vs. Dog. A writei in an agricultural paper says: "Kill your dog and buy yourself a pig. The scraps you feed to a dog would, if fed to a pig, net you a neat little sum every year." Yes kill your dog kill him, you brute. And then, after ypu have murdered the noblest and best friend man ever had in all the animal kingdom, buy your, se f a pig. It will be a more fit ting companion for a man of your type. Taen when you return at night, worn out with the toil o. the day or harassed ' by the worries of business cares, expect your p;g to come bounding out to meet you, to leap and frisk about you, to lick your hand in welcome, while his whole body quivers with the joy his poir duuib soul feels at being ir yur presence; and when you lie down to sleep expect your pig to gnard your couch, a faith ful sentinel who would gladly lay down his life before he would suffer harm to you or yours; or TERRIBLE when misfortune overtakes you, or some great sorrow comes upon you and you feel that you have been foresaken by heaven aud deserted by every human friend, and you sit in silent grief ard misery in the solitude of ycur loom, expect your pig to steal softly to your side aud lay his head in silent sympathy upon your knee while his great, houest. soulful eyes look up in your own with a mute eloquence and truth more potent than might be portrayed by human language, and that says: "No matter what may be your sorrow, your mis fortune, or even your disgrace, I will share . it with you, I will gladly stay by your side to the end." And then then, you con temptible; miserable, misfit caricature on the name of man -if you find that your pig fails iu this, yoa can at least satisfy your sordid, degraded and shriveled soal with the knowledge that by murdering your faithful deg because your dastardly greed be grudged him the few scraps he eats, you are able to sell your pig for a pitiful pittance, that is more precious to your avarici ous soul than would be the life blood of your devoted dumb friend and faithful protector. Ex. Important Step Taken. Some time this fall a committee of college presidents chosen at the recent session of the State Teachers' association in Salem, will meet and confer iu regard to fixing a schedule of uniform re quirements for students who enter the colleges of Oregon. Far a long time this important subject has been agitated xhroughout ' the colleges, but nothing definite has ever been dose, and it is now be lieved that with the committee appointed, some definite agree ment as to the entrance require ments, will be had. The com mittee appointed follows: Chair man, President H. M. Crooks, of Albany college; President P. L. Campbell ot University of Ore gon; President W. J. Kerr of Ore gon Agricultural college; Presi dent W. N. Ferrin of Pacific University, and President J. H. Coleman of Willamette Univer sity. Ex. Agricultural Short Course. Dr Kerr, OAC's new president, proposes to give a short course for teachers, along agricultural lines, at the Corvailis college,, providing the board of regeuts. sanction the idea and of this there is no doubt. In his speech last week at Salem before the state teacher's association Dr. Kerr proposed such a short course and the idea was warmly received by the teachers. The idea of the new president" is to give to teachers every facility for preparing themselves to use the new text book on agriculture that has been added to the com mon school course. It is reason able to suppose that a teacher can not give instruction on a.. subject of which he or she may know little or nothing, and the proposed plan will therefore prove of great value. If the idea materializes, Dr. Kerr will open the laboratories at OAC and place all other tquiprnent at the disposal of the teachers. It is. also planned to open the dormi tories aud provide cheap board and lodging for teachers in attend ance at the agricultural short course.
