Mr.. Phillips and Miss Schiosser. The

celebrated orchestra OF Portland, an as.
surance Of It's exeellency. The hall pre-.
senied n gala day appearance In It's very
tasty decoration. Evergreens, flags and

SMALLPOX AT McMfSSvILLR.-A sec
ond case Of smallpox has appeared In Me
MinnvIlle, and the citizens OF that town are
greatly disturbed over Il, for Il seems GER
tain that Its spreaI cannot be prevented
The subject Is an eisht.year-old son oI
Frank Bynum, a brother of Charles By
mum, who about month since caught the
dread disease from stranger, and who Il
Just now conVaiescent from Il. Ills lillls
nephew had, 50 far as known, been no
where near the uncle but was playing un
restraincdly with companions of his owI
age until Thursday, when he was taker
very III. A physician was called and he
pronounced the case smallpox. --.Sfates
man.
WANTS rHE WoRLp.-It Is a noticeable
fact that Benton county papers, In which
county Is located the Agricultural College
and Lane county papers, In which count,
located the State University, are cour
teous enough to let the other schools o
the State alone but 81 Salem, one OF th'
journals there deems II good policy to cas-
slurs at the Normal schools of the State
but particularly the one at Monmouth. IL
view of the fact that Salem has all IN,
State institutions, II would seem that She
should be at least contented, but no, she
wants more, and II growing and snarlinl
will do any good, we presume she will ge
the State Normal school, and the Agricul
tural College.-Wesf Side.
IL HIS SLEEP Too.-A young Aus
traliaa, near Bochara, after g.. nnusuall,
hard days work sheep sheariGE. weat &c
sleep on the sitting room couch after sup
per. Soon he arose, walked out into the
darkness, went through four gates, which
he carefully closed, TO the woodshed, ane
then hung up his coat and took down his
sheep shears and sharpened them. Then
hc caught sheep and had just finished
shearing II when some OF the household
came with lantern Then it turned ou
that he had been asleep ali the time, ano
the light of the lantern awakened him
The sheep was sheared as we'll as though /
had been done IN broad daylight.
S3o,ooo WANTEp.-"The line of Hunt,
railroad running in this direction Is nov
graded as far as Shutrum's, the advance
guard of oflsborers being camped near tha
place and is ready for the ties and rails
It is now very close to Pendleton, and
little old 100000 will bring it to town
The present situation in regard TO tn
