Died Tuesday in Corvailis.
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

CUTTING AFFAIR.
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.
