j. r. SMITH,
The WARM SPRING BRAVES per-
formed at Pacific Opera House, last
Tuesday night to the largest audience
ever assembled under one roof in
Albany. The immense hall was
crowded almost to suhocation, and
there was q perfect sea of humanity
standing on the sidewalk and in the
street, unable to crowd into the house.
4 Thd performances were novel and
remarkable, even to our citizens who
have been familiar with the Indian
character during their whole lives.
Their gaudy trappings and fantastic
costumes, their wild, weird dances and
Rfotesque groupings, their awe-inspir-
ing war-whoops and fierce battle
shouts, would strike terror to hearts
inufed to danger, and, we venture, will
make the average parlor dandy of the
Eastern States "git right de-own in his
be-oots" and hold his hair down with
both hands. The management OF TINS
%'lrump card" in the show business
has literally struck it rich and VIII
surely realize an immense oItlne fro m
the venture. They will go to San
Francisco, from thence to the Atlantic
States, where, after first paying their
respects to the President at Washing
ton they will exhibit in the various
cities of that region, and will probably
travel in Europe before returning to
their aboriginal camp fires in Oregon.
Wewish them a fortunate and profita-
bic tour. Sam. Parrish and Tommy
Holten have the management of the
expedition and are fully able to "get
away with itn in good shape.
) THAT CELEBRATIoN.-The Odd
Fellows celebration of the flrty-ffth
anniversary of the establishment of
that Order in the United States, held
in this city last Monday, was grand
success. The day was lovely and the
ATTENDANCE large. Over a hundred
people came up on the boat from
Salem, and a large deputation was also
present from Eugene and other points.
The procession led by the Salem and
Albany Brass Bands and under the
direction Of Marshal Thompson and
his Efficient aids, Messrs. Arnold and
Webber, marched through the princi-
pal streets and out to Hackleman's
Grove, where an interesting and able
address was delivered by Rev. D. X.
Nesbit. The address was the best
defense of secret societies we ever re-
member of having listened to- At the
conclusion of the grafton the folks
turned themselves loose in the grove
and bad good time for an hour or
two, when the procession was REFORM
ed md marched back to the city,
where q sociable at Odd Fellows Hall
and d bal at Pacific Opera House
wound up the festivities of the day.
The sociabIe was pleasant and enjoy
able and the hall was nlI that the most
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. could
desire. Our friends of the "Three
Linlgs'' may well he proud of their
celebration of the fifty-ffth ami
yersary, --.----
