The whistle of the little portable engine,

The open air concert last night was well
attended and we think it was well worth
the attendance. Owing to the serious ILL
ness of Rev. Mr. Simpson the place was
changed to the corner of Second and WASH
ington. The programme was adhered to as
published. Applause greeted each effort
and the fifth number was encored. The
band responded with repetition of the
same air. Two cornets, an alto and the
trombone were absent, leaving but seven
pieces, besides the tenor and snare drums
two B fiat cornets, two K fat altos, tenor,
baritone and bass. More power to you
boys. We hope for weekly treat of this
sort right along.
We find the following in Bro. Snyder's
Observer: Take United States bill of any
denomination and hold it up to the light
and you will see two lines running entirely
across it Iengthwise. Upon examination
you will find each of these to consist of a
silk thread, red one and a blue one.
Every genuine bill has this mark of genuine
ness. Without these marks bill may be
put down as counterfeit, no matter how
good the engraving on 1t. No paper mill
dare make that sort of paper, and that is
the governments only protection on its cur
rency." How on earth do you know? Do
You mean to say that you ever had really
and truly government william?
Is it exactly right when man, en- one of
the most serious occasions of his life, is sur
rounded by friends, in the privacy OF his
hat ho ho inf
rupted by rude ring at the door bell, fol-
lowed by an irruption of one or more boys,
who should ere that time have been quietly
sleeping, with the impudent demand for
coin to appease them, supplemented by the
implied, If not spoken, threat that failing
this, they will do all in their power to
create pandemonium in the way OF noise.
And these are not hoodlums, mind yon, but
the children of respectable citizens, men
and women who, as Mark Twain says
''average pretty $685." Keep the boys
where they belong. during the evening at
least, and you will miss many thorn in
your own pillow, many an unavailiDg regret,
when 1t is too late.
The Humane Society Lad its first case
yesterday. 1t seems that kind hearted
city official found tiny, wee bit of sick
kitten wailing piteously on the street near
the court house, and took it in to the sher-
ifs office. The assessor transferred it from
the sherlff's to the clerks office. a solemn
council held there resulted in carrying the
sufferer to the house of one of the officers
of the society, not far away. Here it was
alternately baked in the oven, and fed upon
warm milk, and finally returned to the
court house. A second council of war de-
cided that it would be a mercy to put the
poor thing to death. A towel and some
chloroform were called into requisltlon. and
with solemn pomp and amid the plash of
many tears the short lived sufferer wac lald
away in the back yard-Requies. CAT in

Mr.. D. L. Gates and Miss Alice DeHuff
were the high contracting parties in mar
riage ceremony last evening at the house of
the brides father, Mr.. p DeHuff. Rev. e.
D. Sutcliffe was the officiating clergyman.
Soon after the ceremony was performed the
usual delegation of urchins waited upon
friend of the groom at the front door, and
were promptly negotiated with to the extent
of their desires. At about half past ten
the 81 Regt. Band, quietly assembling in
front of the house, treated their comrade
and his friends to some choice selections Of
music. They were invited in, and regaled
with good things. The newly married pair
went down to Portland on the midnight
train. They will be absent about week.
May their way lie through but few of life's
rough places, and even these be smoothed
by the Hand that blends the sorrow and
Joy in life's challce.
