and E. E. Callaway, representing i

indeed, some guessed that there would

won st-cond place, to tho satisfaction
of tho audience.

Tho oration of Mr. C. A. Bryant, of

.the attention of tho audience and wan
indeed, a sphwdid effort, deserving of
much credit, an was that of Clarke It

Twentieth Century State." ;

jfnado a hit with the audience and they
were not to be excusod from an encore
They were followed by tho oration
,of Harry Maxfiold of 1'acino College
, -entitled "Training for Intelligent Citi
zenship," who did very well indeed
but it was reserved for tho last orator
to spell the audience. 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. If they did not, thoy should
have, for it was certainly as much.

Get from any prescription pharma
cist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce: Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
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.
