last Sunday morning, about three
o'clock, Captain Powell was aroused by
an unusual noise out at his stables among
his horses. Going out he found his beaua
liful black mare, Daisy, greatly distressed:
de couldn't understand her uneasiness
until he began looking around for her colt.
Failing to find the little fellow, the thought
occurred to him that may be it had fallen
into a well which was near by. His fears
proved true, for down in the deep, dark
well the brave little Percheron was foun-
dering about. The Captain aroused sew
eral hands on the place, and in a short
while the colt was drawn to the surface,
wrapped in warm blankets and soon re-
stored. No limbs were broken, strange to
SAY, from tie headlong plunge. This Is Q
new. and novel way to "raise" colts.

The crecIan Empire.

The lecture by Mr.. MeKinstry last even
ing ON the "Grecian Empire" was of deep
interest, and was listened to with marked at
tontion by all present. She gave the history
of the GrecianS from the earliest account
given, tracing them through the peculiar
phases of their history until they become
consolidated in the Third Universal EN-
pire" of the world under Alexander tine
Great, giving particular attention to his
work in erecting that empire and also to his
sudden and untimely death, when he stepped
down from the throne Of the worlds mon
arch to fill the grave of the besotted drunk
ard. The division of the empire into four
Kingdoms was then noticed and the history
of these divisions was given in outline until
they were brought under the power of the
Romans which was fully accomplished in b.
G. 80. Then the speaker cited the wonder
full prophetic declarations and representa-,
tions of the book of Daniel, which applied
to the great empire and which added much
to the interest in the subject.
The audience was deeply impressed as the
speaker showed that Alexander the Great
was, a subject of prophesy, and that his
this empire was clearly foretold by the
prophets more than 200 years before that
work was accomplished. The subject was
presented in clear and comprehensive man.
ner. 1t was wonder to all that. such an
amount of historical facts could be crowded
into the time of one lecture, and be present
ed in such an attractive form. The lecture
this evening will be on the "Roman En-
pre- from B. G. 754 to A. D.. 395. Many are
allowing the opportunity to hear these lee
lures pass unimproved, and will regret 1t
when it is too late.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
IOLANTHE.


Without making any pretensions to great
ness the Wilkinson Opera Company, now
performing at City Hall, give the leading
Gilbert 81 Sullivan operas in very credit
able manner, and at extremely low prices.
Monday and Tuesday "The Pirates was
presented, and yesterday at the matinee and
evening performances "Iolanthe." Several
of the company are artists well known to
the musical world. Alice Carries fine con-
tralto was heard to great advantage
in "Iolanthe," as the Fairy Queen, and Mr..
Bells robust tenor in the character of
Tolloller. The other parts were well taken,
and in cases where the voices were not all
that could be desired the acting compensated
for the loss. Many opera companies have
appeared in Portland with great flourish of
trumpets, at high prices, that were by nc
means as good as Mr.. Wilkinson's, and We
hope that during the remainder of the week
the public will show by their patronage that
they approve of the efforts of Mr.. Knowlton
to give them good entertainments at cheap
prices. 'Iolanthe'' will be repeated tonight.
1t is well staged and well costumed.

Everybody who is fond of the drama has
seen or heard of Chanfrau as Exit, the
Arkansas Traveller" Chanfrau senior, who
created the character and made the imper-
sonation known throughout the length and
breadth of the land, is no more, but the son
has assumed the fathers mantle to the great
satisfaction of the critics, and will present
the character to Portland audience tOmOr-
row night at Portland Theatre. The tickets
are meeting with a ready sale.

Mr.. Stockbridge advertises today the
formation of the Ideal Opera Company for
this season and the list of operas in which
they will appear in this city, with lot of
other information that will be perused with
interest.

On another page was the following:

The book also contained short poem pur-

pages were chapters in short hand and the
name A. d. C. Morton A man named Nor

in the Salvation Army here. His wherea-
bouts are not known and it is supposed that
he committed suicide by jumping off the
wharf.
Since writing the above it appears that Mr.
Morton is now in Ohio. The reference to
that person in the book found in the coat,
was an entry in diary-for the book was
evidently diary-showing that Mr.. Morton
was in this city ON certain date. Morton

Briggs and Wilson be a committee lof two on
the part of the Board to sug gest to our rep
resentatives in the coming Legislature, that
a law be passed by the Legislature which
will enable the errors of ward clerks to be
corrected, where the intent of the voter is
as plain as in these cases.
The Board then adjourned.
