Tho piano solo hy Mrs. May How ien-Babbitt was a treat to music lover, and tho rendering of tho sclec lion, Liszt's No. 2 Kaisody, wai man terly, showing her to Ik) a thorougl ntudent of the piano. Tho oration of Mr. C. A.

As he walked across tho rostrum to take his "place with the other orators at tho beginning fit the program, ho was marked by many of the close observers as a youth of unusual ability and many picked him as the winner. There was Borne thing about his manner and his pre posession that bespoke promise which he more than fulfilled. It was not necessary to have the decision of tho jndges to know who had won first place when ho had finished his mas terful oration. Tho audience seemed spellbound while ho delivered his ora tion: "Mercy that Condemns." Uni versity of Oregon may well feel proud of her victory. ' At the close of the exercises in tho .chapel the audience repaired to the banquet which was served in the gymnasium and at which three hundred guests participated. The gymnasium was artistically and beautifully decorated. While the guests feasted the orchestra rendered jnany of their choice selections. Toasts were respondod to by many fmd at the conclusion all voted the Affair one of the most delightful and entertaining everv attended in Mon mouth.

Shake well in bottle and take a teaspoonful dose after each meal and at bedtime. The above is considered by an emi nent authority, who writes in a New York paper, as the finest prescription ever written to relieve Backache, Kid ney Trouble, Weak Bladder, and all forms of Urinary difficulties. This mixture acts promptly on the elimi native tissues of the Kidneys, enabling them to filter and, strain the uric acid and other vvaste matter from the blood which causes rheumatism. Some persons who suffer with the afflictions may not feel inclined to ulace much confidence in this simple I mixture, yet those who have tried it say the results are simply surprising, the relief being effected without the slightest injury to 'the stomach or other organs. Mix some and give it a trial. It certainly comes highly recommended. It is the prescription of an eminent authority, whose entire reputation, it is said, was established by it. A druggist here at home, when ask ed, stated that he could either supply the ingredients or mix the prescription for our readers, also recommends it as harmless. 1 1 'I - i 1 1 ii i i ii jn i .li jb,. -iiawu .jo CATCMi no"'" r First showing of new waists Friday and Saturday Messner, Conkey & Walker's. spring at FRIEND TO FRIEND.
