The Portland Oregonian says of this
minstrel combination: Notwithstanding
the night was dark and stormy, hundreds
braved both, and crowded New Market
Theater again to overlooking. 1t was the
second appearance OF the Big Four min
strels, but there was no noticeable dimin-
ution In the attendance, and the interest
seemed even keener than on the opening
evening. Excellent as was the perform
ance on the opening night there was q very
gratifying improvement perceptible last
evening.
Part first was the opportunity for the in
PRODUCTION of an overture medley by the
orchestra, the ballad " Sweet Evelina," by
Burt Haverly; 1.-THE Day When You'll
Forget Me-" James A. Barney; "Billy's
Request" Billy Arnold; Empty is the
Cradle, D. d. Beedle; Rock aud Roll"
John W. Morton; "Give Me Back Ny
Heart" Ernest Sinclair, and concluding
with the very funny sketch, Order OF the
Moon" Part second consisted of a flute
solo by Ed. Kerwan, in which he showed
wonderful skill in manipulating that in
strument; o number OF most mirth exciting
burlesque songs and witticisms by Bob
Slaven-given in his "own peculiar style;"
the Arnold Brothers in their unapproach-
able silver statue clog-certainly the most
finished and intricate ever witnessed in
this city; the Rankins in their musical
melange; 1.-THE Amateurs Rehearsal" in
terspersed with comic sayings and droller-
les; the celebrated 80 Big Four Act. which
was funny beyond all description 1--WE hope
to be excused for remarking parenthetically
that the audience shouted and laughed
themselves hoarse over the rough tum-
bling and a~crobatic BLACK Tantrums ~,
and concluding with the extravagant sketch
entitled Animal Sagacity."

House last evening in I" Dreams, or Fun in

self is what is claimed for it-a musical
conceit-nothing more. 1t has neither
plot, point nor thread, but serves to intro
duce an excellent bouquet Of artists, who,
under more favorable circumstances, could
render a better account Of themselves.
The company labored under great disad-
vantage last evening. Miss Atherton was
almost deprived of speech yesterday morn
ing, and the lady could hardly a~rticulate
above a whisper. Two Of the other ladies
OF the troupe were also afflicted with eli
matte troubles. Considering these draw
backs, the music was fairly rendered
and received several encores. The singing
of Miss Russell was particularly pleasing.
The lady is not only handsome, but has a
rich voice Of great compass. Mr.. Edouin
was not seen at his best, and
while he played the old man pas
SADLY well, his forte is not in that
direction. Mr.. Kruger, as the shirtless
photograph artist was a capital piece of
humorous acting. 1t was a trenchant
satire on the spirit Of Bohemia, and his
cadaverous chuckle created bursts Of mer-
riment. Mr.. Powers is a low comedian OF
unlimited resources, and when he draws
on his legs for an entertainment he creates
more laughter han a clown at a circus.
This used to be Willie Edouin's line of
business, and he was immense in it. The
applause and encores last night, however,
fell to Powers. This actor surpasses any
kicker we have had on our boards, and
appears as supple as an eel. The ladies
are all bright and pretty, and have elegant
costumes. They will appear to much
better advantage tonight in Robinson
Crusoe," when Miss Atherton will appear
in the title role, which she has made
famous, and Willie Edouin will give his
amusing rendition of the man Friday. The
music in "Crusoe' is very pretty, and the
dresses OF the ladies will outrival anything
we have had on our stage.

One of Eureka's Bellies Captured
by n COlOradau.

The marriage Of A. M. Wells Of Denver,
Colorado, to Miss Julia vanderlieth Of
Eureka took place at the residence'of the
brides parents last evening. The cere-
mony was performed promptly at 8 o'clock,
Rev. G. B. Crawford, of the Episcopal
Church, officiating. The presents were
numerous and costly, and marked the high
esteem in which the young couple are held
by their numerous friends. After the GER
emory the company sat down to an elegant
repast, and made merry over the happy
event. Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. John E. Platter, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Winzell, Mr.. and Mrs. Judge Rives and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Anderson,
Mr.. and Mrs. @. E. r. Buttlar, Miss Ora

son, and Hon. Thomas Wren. The bride
looked lovely. and wore a dress
Of ashes Of roses, Topped up with crushed
roses and lilies Of the valley. The brides
sister, Miss Emma, acted as bridemaid,
and wore a navy blue silk. The newly
welded couple left on this mornings train
for Denver, their future home.

Our Reasons.

In fact, we sell all goods at San Francisco
prices, and NO HUMBUG. For the benefit of
those who want to know how we sell Goods so
cheap, we will explain Our buyers are al
ways in the market, and are thoroughly con-
yersant with the Dry Goods business, being
brought up to it from childhood, and therefore
know the texture of any piece of Goods, and
the actual value thereof, and being in the
market all the time know when they see a
piece OF new goods. and no old stock that has
been in the store for years can be palmed on
on them as being of the latest pattern. And
as we buy our goods for cash we get q certain
percentage which those who do not cannot OBJ
tain. These are some of the reasons why we
sell SO cheap. Another resson'i is we sell for
cash, thereby lesseRing our. expenses. II we
had TO keep 9 set of books we would need
more help. And again, we do not believe in
the theory of charging good customers with
the debts Of others to make good their losses.

but having the usual experience of every
fresh mining country. Many go expect
ing to get work right away at high rates
and cash down, when the country is SC
new that but little in the way of extensive
employment of men is possible. Others
go expecting to follow variots trades and
professions usual in cities, and find no
cities there. Some cannot stand the
crudeness and newness Of everything, and
sigh for the smoothly-going state Of bust
ness and society they left behind them.
Others yet, go and attempt to start
branches Of business for which there is
little or no call in C new and stirring
mining country. Where the center Of
business, trade and population is so slow
in manifesting itself as it has been in the
Wood River region, by reason Of the great
extent of country embraced under that
name, some of the drawbacks above set
forth are especially prominent. And while

these reasons will give the country a
black eye" as the saying is, all expe-
rienced mining men know better than to
consider it damned on that account.
As to the prospects Of Wood River, we
have every reason to believe them great.
There are some claims there which, while
not beginning to be opened, give the
brightest promise of richness and per-
manence. Others, and these the most, are
nothing but discoveries, so little developed
as to show nothing certain, but most of
them allow their owners great latitude of
hope. While as to the country in general,
the experienced prospector has the world
before him, and IN extent OF. unexplored
country, recognized as mineral country,
which leaves nothing to ask for size, and
the richness Of some Of the old discoveries
keeps the hopes Of the explorer at the
highest mark. From Wood River proper,
after the prospector exhausts his search,
he can go on to S~awtooth, Salmon River,
Montana, or wherever he likes. The field
Is wide and the uncertainties as great as
the most ardent could desire. The few
will succeed, and the many will at least
live.
But in it all there is but the hope OF
finding something. And, as we said the
other day, if q man has a good claim
in any good mining camp in Utah, the
chances are that be had better stay by it.
By roaming there is no chance Of finding
something; by staying, you have your
claim here, and it will probably come into
market sooner and realize a better price
than a similar claim in a newer country.
In this, as in many other things, multi
tudes would save time, money and strength
if they would observe the old maxim,
"Look before you leap"
