David Campbell of Monmouth, with his aunt, Mrs. Cassie Stump, left Sat urday for the east and will sail from Baltimore on the 18th of this month for Germany, where David will study for the next three years under the great masters of the continent. Mr. Campbell Is only 17 years of age and Is one of the most promis ing of the younger musicians of the state, and will certainly be heard from In later years. His talent for the piano was brought out under Mrs. May Bowden Babbitt, and when he went to Walla Walla a year ago he easily won the year's scholarship In Whitman college. In this competi tion he had to enter against some of the best , players of the Northwest. Mr. Campbell was greatly benefitted by his year at Whitman college and all his friends expect to hear from him later when he returns to this country. A large number of his friends from Monmouth were at the irain to bid him goodbye. At Work Again.
