The Corvallis Lyceum Course
opens Monday night with a lec
ture by Prot. Frederick Starr of
the University of Chicago, en
titled "The Truth About the
Congo." Prof. Starr traveled
8coo miles in the heart ot Africa
to learn the truth about the alleg
ed atrocities under the rule of
King Leopold and gives an ab
sorbingly interesting account
of twelve months' travel in all
parts of the Congo country.
This is the first number of the
best and most popular lyceum
course ever offered' to a Corvallis
audience. There are five enter
tainments secured at a cost of
over $700, including two of the
most noted lecturers on the plat
form today, two extremely popu
lar musical numbers and a Rogers
-Grilley Recital.
The dates and entertainments
are:
Oct. 21 Prof. Frederick Starr
of Chicago University. Lecture,
"The Truth About the Congo."
Dec. 12 The Slay ton Jubilee
Singers.
Feb. , 20 A Rogers-Grilley
Recital.
March 12 Dr. Thomas E-
Green.- Lecture, "Left Handed
Men."
April 10 The Dunbar Company.-
Male Quartette and Bell
Ringers.
Prof. Starr is a world authority
upon autaropoiogy ana at tne
same time an extremely able lec
turer. His lecture will let us
know what is going on in Leo
pold's African empire.
There have been several
troupes of jubilee singers who
have pleased Corvallis people in
he past but none have been so
arge as the Slayton Company
who are considered the best jubi
lee singers on the road today.
The Rogers-Grilley Recitals
have proved universally satisfac
tory wherever given in the East.
Mr. Rogers is a classical artist
noon the harp, and Mr. Grilley is
the author of many humorous
skits, coon songs and pathetic
pieces which he sings and recites.
His impersonations are particu-
arly good. This promises to be
one of the most unique and varied
entertainments ever offered to a
Corvallis audience.
In Dr. Thomas E. Green the
management believe they have
secured as able a lecturer as the
Bureau offers this year. The fact
that he is paid $15,000 a year for
a number of years successively to
deliver 100 lectures and is the
only man who has been engaged
year after year at the Bay View
Chautauqua at Petrosky, Mich,,
is suggestive of his popularity.
He is considered the best Masonic
lecturer in this country. His
lectures deal with the" pressing
social problems of the day.
The Dunbar Bell-ringers have
the largest equipment of bells in
use today and are a still better
company than the one which ap
peared here two years ago. Their
vocal and recitation parts are
very strong.
The tickets are sold upon the
popular plan ot last year. First
class tickets permit of reservation
of seats in the parquet and first
row in the balcony. Second
class permit the reservation of all
other seats. Tickets may be had
ot canvassers, of M. M. Long,
and of Graham & Wortbam. The

Kerr-Irvine Wedding.
A ripple of surprise spread
over this city Tuesday evening
when it became known that Miss
Edna Irvine, daughter of Mr.
ano Mrs. B. F. Irvine, the bright
and talented young actress, had
been married at Madison, Wis
consin, Tuesday October 1st, to
Horace W. Kerr, son of Presi
dent W. J. Kerr of the Oregon
Agricultural College.
The young people met early in
the su aimer during a vacation
visit home of Miss Irvine, and
the romance then begun has end
ed in the u'ual way. i ;
Mr. Kerr expected to take a
course 'in 'law in Madison but
has accepted a position in Chica
go ' where, with bis attractive
bride, be is how located.
Miss Irvine grew to young
womanhood in Corvallis. She
always displayed marked literary
and dramatic talent and after
spending a year in Emerson's
School of Oratory in Boston, and
later studying with Miss Rose
Eyting the actress, in Portland,
she decided " to go on the stage.
Last year she was with a road
company which played in the
leading cities of the East and
met with good success in her
chosen profession.
S!ae left Corvallis a few weeks
ago intending, as her friends sup
posed, to join a theatrical com
pany for the coming season, but
Cupid apbears to have sidetracked
her and likewise altered the plans
tof Mr.tKert-wbo had started to
Wisconsin to study law.

Mr. Leech is one of the strong

THORNS & ORANGE BLOSSOMS
Tuesday
Night
Opera
at the Corvallis
House.
"Thorns and Orange B'os
soms" a dramatization of Bertha
M. Clay's famous novel of the
same name will be seen here next
Tuesday night. The production
in its entirety comes direct from
its run at the Academy of Music
in Chicago. The company is
beaded by the charming actress,
Miss Flora Fairfield, a big favor
ite in the East. The play, while
intensely dramatic, contains noth
ing of the cheap melodramatic;
it appeals to all classes on ac
count of timely discussions of
class distinctions. There is some
thing in each act that every
patron may enjoy. In one, it is
thrilling climax; in anothei it
a sweetly told love story,
hedged by pathos; and still an
other, it may be comedy, real,,
laagh producing comedy. The
production is magnificently cast,
has an endless array ot beautiful
scenery, and is one of the best on
the road.

So great is the enrollment at the Cor
vallis public schools that for the past -
week four of the primary grades have
been dismissed while two additional
rooms are being fitted up in the upper
tory of the new building to accommodate
a part of the pupils from the intermedi
ate grades. The enrollment has reached
582 and will easily reached the 600 mark
by the first of the year. Two more teach
ers will be required making the total
number 15. Mrs. Julia DuMoulin has
been elected to fill one of the rooms bat
the other teacher has not yet been nam
ed. This is certainly a splendid enroll
ment, being about 100 more than at this
time last year. Corvallis has ample
reason to be proud of her public schools.
