They began to assemble at the usual
hour. Some came in groups OF three and
four couples each. Some, being strict ad-

paying attention to none save themselves
and, when the inspiring strains of the
Fisher Maiden" waltz commenced, grace
full forms glided over the smooth floor, en-
joying themselves as only good dancers
know how. Such was the gathering at
Maj. Murphy's residence on the corner OF
Beale and Wellington streets last Monday
night, the occasion being dance under

Peek's Bad Boy.

Everyone is more or less familiar
with the mad pranks of that embodi-
ment Of mischief, Peck's Bad Boy, as
chronicled in the newspapers all over
the country, and in its presentation
to the public in its dramatized form
by the company, at the opera house,
on Wednesday evening, full justice
was done to the exasperating inge-
nuity of the irrepressible imp. The
corner grocery was excellently repre-
sented, and hearty laughter greeted
the various scenes enacted. Harry
Connors, as Peck's Bad Boy, was the
hero of the piece, and he was ably
seconded by Frank Calburt as Shultz,
the groceryman. The company is
square in its dealings, and the mem
bers exhibit a sense of refinement and
courtesy that is sure to make per-
manent friends of all whom they come
in contact.-MGTtinez Gazette.
The company will appear at the
opera house next Friday evening.
Reserved seats Thursday morning
o'clock.

Florence Fishing Troubles Settled.

From Geo. A. Doris, who returned
from Florence last Wednesday even
ing, we learn that the fishing troubles
on the Siuslaw river have ceased and
that the fishermen are now at work
catching salmon. 1t appears that the
Siuslaw fishermen's union has ceased
to exist. The fishermen accepted the
prices offered by Meyer & Kyle, the
cannerymen, viz: Forty cents for large
salmon and twenty-five cents for
small ones, and one third off from
these prices when the cannerymen
furnish the outfits. At one time they
were offered 35 and 30 cents, but re
fused to accede to the terms, hence at
last accepted the first prices offered.
The fishermen had been out three
nights when Mr.. Doris left and quite
a number of the boats caught 100
salmon nightly. Both Siuslaw and
Columbia river men are fishing, -

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks all epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease of the
short standing you will surely find re-
lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at

Jos. Tagg, a man who lately bought
Jos. Furtado's milk business, was
driving his blind horse attached to his
milk wagon, yesterday afternoon,
down the narrow roadway from the
old gasworks to Cedar street, when
the horse became fractions, and in ca
vorting around the rail broke, and
horse. wagon and driver were precipi-
tated to the rocks below, a distance of
sixteen or eighteen feet. Tagg fell
under the wagon and received very
severe injuries: one -leg is probably
broken, his head is badly gashed, one
ear is almost torn off, and he is hurt
internally. He was taken to the hos
pital and given surgical attendance
The horse was badly bunged up and
the wagon is a total wreck.
