The debate last Friday evening by the class in oratory brought out a good audi ence who were well entertained by the excellent program presented. The de bate was handled in such an able man ner both as to subject matter and de livery that the class may well feel proud of its achievements. Another debate will take place tomorrow evening. At the oratorical contest held at the Christian church Friday evening one of onr students, Walter McIntire, was awarded the first prize. Several other of our students competed. The tennis court has now been put in shape and regular practice has been begun by those interested in athletics The hurdle races on the new quarter mile track have been attracting consid erable attention. The sport seems to be very popular. Last week we were favored with a visit from Mr. J. B. Hawley, Mrs. Mul key’s father, a highly respected citizen of Monmouth and well known through out the state of Oregon. He gave the students an inspiring talk on the value of education and the state’s effort to further its cause. Mr. Hawley spent several days visiting his daughter and family. Rev. Ronald McKillop of the Baptist church spent a few hours at the normal Monday morning. His address to the students on the value of character—the best capital a student can possibly poss ess—was to the point and was much ap preciated. President Mulkey returned from Eu gene Saturday night where he had been as an instructor at the Lane county in stitute. He reports a well attended and enthusiastic gathering. Misses Bessie and Grace Grubb have returned to their home at Oakland. The eighth grade students of the train ing department are taking the county examination for graduation this week. The training school will close June 3rd. The students of the class of’04 are busily rehearsing for the senior play “A Twentieth Century Proposal,” which will be presented commencement week. The events of the closing week of school promise to be of a very interesting and pleasing nature. Prof. Gtus Samuels, democratic nomi nee for superintendent of schools, visited the normal Tuesday and made a modest address to the assembled students. At an election held in Belleview dis trict last Monday it was decided to con solidate that school with the training department of the nomal for the coming school year. Arrangements are being made for a summer normal school to be conducted in the Chautauqua grove during the summer. The work done at this school will be of particular assistance to all who desire advanced work, or who wieh to review for state or county examina tions. Professors Van Scoy and Milan will have charge of the professional and academic work and Prof. Sweetser will conduct the nature study work. It is thought a large number of students will avail themselves of this opportunity of enjoying a pleasant outing and at the same time gaining much in an educa tional way. President Mulkey left again Tuesday evening to assist in conducting an insti- tute at Corvallis. Rev. Edwin B. Lockhart, former pas tor of the M.

Spring has come, you’ll need garden and flower seeds, a full line in bulk and in packages at J. E. Smith & Son’s. X On both sides of his family Judge Hanna is a decendant of Revolution ary Ancestry. The youth of Judge Hanna was char acterized by a hard struggle for ex istence, to which emergency he proved thoroughly equal. Since his fourteenth year he has practically supported him self, his first money being earned as a clerk in a general store in Bath, N. Y. In 1848 he went to Ohio and clerked in the Recorder’s office for a couple of years, and while there had his attention called to the steady stream cf emigration headed towards the western coast. In the spring of 1850 he joined a train bound for California, but owing to the inadequate supply^ of provisions the train broke up at Salt Lake City, and 1 had to wait until after the harvest was gathered in order to proceed to their destination. Judge Hanna waited for a month and then accompanied four other people with a wagon and two yoke of oxen to the coast, eventually arriving in Hangtown, now Placerville, where he mined with more than average success. In 1852 he reached the Yuba river, and remained there until the Fraser river excitement of 1858. He then made his way to San Francisco, intending to follow the latest trend, but instead took boat for Creseut Oily, and later located at Waldo, Jose phine county, Ore. Here also he was fairly successful, and soon became iden rs gp?^ '5&J tified with politics, and although he had not yet studied law, he was elected district attorney of Josephine county in 1870, serving for two years Before com pleting the term be took up the study of Delegates Receive Royal Wel law, and was duly admitted to the bar come at Bakersfield. in 1872, the same year bei-ig re-elected district attorney by a large majority.

Reno, Nev., May 16.—All Reno is shocked over the unfortunate death last night of four young people in the Truckee river. The dead are: Mrs. Jeb Ede, Miss Netta McMillan, George Tinsman, Morris Jacobs. They composed a jolly party of pic nickers that left ths city early Sunday morning to enjoy an outing on the banks of the river near Laughtoil's Springs, five miles west of here. It was shortly after the picnic lunch had been served that the party de cided to cross the river. A ferry oper ated by two cables, suspending a four- wheeled Inverted truck, has been used by the Laughton family for years for reaching the south bank of the stream. It is not strong and seldom carried more than two persons and three at the most. The young people had no thought of danger, however, and started across. The car had scarcely left its moorings when the weight of the occupants caused the cable to sag, allowing the car to enter the water. When the car reached the center of the stream it fell to pieces, throwing the occupantB into the stream. Tinsman and Mrs. Ede were thrown together and started to swim toward the south bank7 of the river. Miss MacMillan, however, was more excit ed. Mr. Jacobs, who was swimming splendidly, was apparently attempting to encourage her, when she grabbed him around the neck and body, hold ing on with a death grip and despits his helpless position, he put upa strong battle. With only one arm free, he swam with the young lady down the stream and toward shore, a distance of perhaps 100 yards. When about twenty feet from shore and be fore aid could reach them, he appar ently became exhausted and both he and Miss MacMillan sank from sight. Mrs. Edo and Mr. Tinsman also fought bravely for their lives, the wo man especially swimming until she was exhausted and dragged to the bottom by the strong current. CIRCUIT COURT. NEW CASES. John W.

One Thousand Will Migrate Frew Texas to Golden State. Houston, Tex., May 16.—An exodus of negroes from Texas to the Pacific eeast. during the past several days has Increased, until now it is of large pro portions. Hundreds have left this sec tion and over a thousand are prepar ing to go. Almost every train carries small bedtes of from ten to fifty. The transcontinental roads have been called on to make special provisions for the traffic. Most of the negroes are headed for Lower California, but some are going to Washington and British Columbia. Bitterne3 of racial feeling, which ha3 been intensified recently by crimes of the worst class of negroes, has brought about the negroes' deter mination to quit Texas. The matter has been discussed tn churches and se cret societies, and the movement ns a thoroughly organized one. It is the better class of negroes that is going, leavln gthe vicious behind. They believe that on the Pacific eeast there is no antagonism against the race and that negroes and white people live in peace and unity. The exodus presented a serious phase and threatens a labor famine in better ag ricultural sections and in cities.
