The first game will be called at. 7:45 oclock and will be played by the Normal team, and Inde pendence Club team. The second game will be the Monmouth High School team pitted against the Baraca Club Class team of the Wlllamett Un iversity at Salem. This team comes strongly rec ommendation, having defeated the Silverton Athletic Club team, and although it is a team con sidered in a elass above the high school class, the Monmouth boys will go up against them with a confidence that will most likely leave them victors of th situation.

The score in the game last Saturday night with the Cor vallis High School team was 31 to 10 in favor of the Monmouth team. ' The city of Omaha brags of a hog-dentist.

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES ' The citizens of Monmouth and students of the Normal enjoyed a treat Tuesday evening in hear ing the Williams Jubilee Singers. This is the first of the entertain ment course which has been se cured by thS Commercial Club and the Normal, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all, as was shown in the hearty applause with which each number was re ceived. Having been in Mon mouth several times before the excellence of their program was known, and hence the large as sembly hall of the Normal was filled to its capacity, and all felt that the program excelled any heretofore given. lhere has been a good pro gram arranged covering com mencement week. The Bacca laureate Address win oe given by Dr. H. Charles Dunsmore, Sunday, February 4th, and the program covers Monday and Tuesday the 5th and 6th also. The last of the bemors to ap pear in assembly was Miss Qeen Lynn, who gave an intersting and instructive talk Thursday morning on "Dickens' Charac ters." She handled her subject in a very able manner and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The training school is coming on in good shape. The first half year is almost completed and teachers are much pleased with the work and be havior of the pupils. The school, from the primary through the high school has yet the first serious case of unmanly or unwomanly conduct to record. All requests from teachers have been met in fine spirit by the pupils and patrons, It is hoped that the fathers and mothers will come in and visit the classes. Those in charge of the school urge visitation as one of the best means to help the children. The school has one urgent request of parents, it is that children be sent to school on time. The session begins at 8:50 in the morning and at 1:10 in the afternoon. The records are spoiled every day by tardy marks. President Ackerman has been invited to deliver a lecture at Silverton on Friday evening, which invitation has been ac cepted. TAKE NOTICE.

CP. Cornwell, Marshal, MONMOUTH FORGING AHEAD Change, but not Decay Promise of Future Growth. give There were bargains made last Friday for three business changes in the city of Monmouth one of which, at least means progress while we believe the other two will make good. The most notable of these chan ges and the one that will make most for better conditions is the hotel property owned by E. H. Hosner, of Portland, a former resident of this place. This prop erty has been bargained for by J. Frank Miller and two sons, from Belhngham, Washington, and if the trade goes through as sched uled, Mr. Miller and sons con template building on to the pres ent structure until there will be sufficient accomodations for the care of the public, and in case the trade should fall through, it is their intention, so we are in formed, to purchase a lot and build a hotel, so in either case Monmouth is in the way of more hotel accomodation, a thing which she has needed for some time past Mr. Miller is thinking of so journing in California and his sons will have charge of the ho tel business. Another change which will take place February 1, is the transfer of the Monmouth Bakery business, Orvil White having dis posed of his business to C. V. and W. A. McNeill, two brothers from Eastern Oregon. The McNeill Brothers are not - unknown here as they attended school at this place in the past and one of them worked under C.C. Mulkey, formerly baker at this place. Mr. White was building up a good business and gave promise of success in his trade, but un fortunately the business did not agree with him as to his health and he found it necessary to dis pose of it. " CAFE CHANGED HANDS The other change was that of the Frank Clark cafe, confection ery and book store, A. B. Morlan being the purchaser. The tran fer was made and Messrs. Mor lan & Son doned their aprons and went to work Saturday cater ing to the wants of their patrons. These changes speak in two ways; the first two coming from outside purchasers show that those who are watching Mon mouth from an outside stand point have faith in her future and are willing to invest their money here, believing that they will reap future profit In the second Instance- the purchaser being a resident and business man for years past shows that he retains faith in Monmouth's future. CARD OF THANKS. To our many friends who were so kind to us in our late bereave ment, we extend our sincere thanks. Their ministrations were given in so kindly a spirit we shall always cherish them. Allen T. Clark. W. J. Mulkey and Family.
