Thatcher's Minstre1s.

Manager Kinersly begs to announce to
the amusemcnt-loving public of The
Dalles that he has concluded arrang-
ments with George Thatcher's famous
minstrels to appear at the Vogt Grand
next Monday evening, June 18th. The
company is certainly the strongest and
best in the country today, and should be
literally patronized. The Portland Ore
gonian says of the company's appearance
at the Marquam Grand:
A crowded house greeted George
Thatcher's minstrels at the Marquan
Grand last evening. Their performance
throughout was excellent, in fact ii was
probably the best minstrel entertain
ment ever given in Portland. The au-
dience was in splendid humor over the
consolidation, victory and greatly enjoyed
the varied prog aramme. 8
Thatcher, who is one of the best-known
minstrel comedians, was, as usual, a
whole show in himself. The famous
Lew ,Dockstadter captured the audience
with his specialties and his local hits.
His song, Try, Try Again. in which
he took occasion to localize with points
on consolidation and city affairs, took
immensely and he was encored time
and time again. He appeared made up
as President HarrlSOn,s and for nearly
an hour the audience would not permit
him to leave the stage. Bert Shepard
makes good partner for Thatcher on
the end and was enjoyed almost as much.
After Dockstadter's great hit the most
enjoyable selection was R. J. Jose's rem
dition of 1.-THE; Lone Grave" It is sell
dom that one is given an opportunity
to hear voice of such marvellous sweet
ness as that possessed by Mr.. JOSE n.
w. Frillman is we'll known here, and he
sang "The Lost Chord" as only he can
sing it. The vocalization of Raymon
Moore, Thomas Lewis, j. A. Coleman,
and the other members of the company
was heartily enjoved. The olio was
made up of bright and clever specialties,
none of them tiresome, but all just long
enough to cause the audience to wish
for more. Frank La Mondhu, in his
original act, "Fun on clothes-line, .
Cain and Loreno, in their burlesque
trapeze performance, Shepards comical
cornet solo, and Thatcher's monologue
and song, kept the audience wavering
between open -mouthed wonderment and
uproarious laughter. The performance
terminated with ''The Fete of the Con
! doliers, introducing the entire company
in a beautiful Terpsichorean feature that
aptly illustrated the poetry of motion.
The audience, which was the largest of
the season, several hundred being turned
away, departed more than satisfied with
| the show.

Commencement Exercise.

The tenth annual commencement of
the Wasco Independent Academy was
held at the Congregational church last
evening. The church was bower of
beauty and the decorations were superb.
The building was crowded by friends
and well -wishers of the school, and moth
ing occurred to mar the pleasure of the
evening. The motto ''Gradatim''-
step by step-was hung conspicuously
over the ch oir's alcove and was in hand
some letters. The graduates were Misses
Mona Iona Ruch, Iva G. Brooks, and
Margaret Ann Keys, each of whom read
the regulation essay. They were beau
tiful young ladies and each was dressed
with becoming taste. Each graduate
received from twenty to thirty floral
tributes du ring the evening. We regret
that we have not space to spare to COM
ment on the programme which was we'll
arranged and carried out. It was a
pleasing and successful commencement
and creditable to the academy.

District attorney Wilson calls our aten-
to one little inaccuracy in our article of
yesterday on the arrest and trial of Sam
Gates. Mr. Wilson did not recon
mend'' the discharge of the prisoner.
He says he made the best case he could
and submitted it to the court without
argument. But he also says he had no
case and that justice Schultz could do
nothing but discharge the prisoner. The
testimony of the night watchman, alone,
who was the main witness for the pros
ecution, was sufficient to show that the
boy had no dishonorable intention what
ever. We are informed that his shoes
were found stuck in the hole of the
water closet and not as if he merely had
taken them off to facilitate a quiet es-
cape. He did not make the least effort
to escape but was found quietly asleep
with his coat under his head and his
shoes fifteen or twenty feet apart in the
position already described. The friends
of the boy may rest assured that not
the slightest stain of dishonor attaches
to him or them on his account, beyond
the fact that he was SO drunk that he
did not know what he was doing.

Night before last about 9 O'Clock, as
Charley Richmond was returning in his
buggy from Charley Halls fishery, two
men ran out from the pines beyond the
old powder house and one Of them made
a grab at the horses, but missing his
grasp Mr.. Richmond gave the horses
sharp cut OF the whip and dashed past
his assailants. The men fired two shots
after him neither of which took effect.
One of the men is described as being
about the size and complexion of Mri
Richmond andsvearing light coat and
a stiff hat: The other was thick set
with dark clothes andia black mustache.
It isneedless to say that Charley came
to town as fast as his horses could bring
him. @ M @ s ~

express through your. columns my ap-

yet to see, on such an occasion, more
attentive and appreciative audience
than that which assembled last eve
ming. Sincerely yours,

Baby is sick.-The woeful expression

druggist of the same city what was best
to give baby for cold? 1t was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte-
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
'tWegive our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was the druggists answer.

medicine said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Waters Talbot Print

old, got hold of bottle of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. OF course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ,ba-
by's cold The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to, a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.

The Neglect of the Feet.

Far too little has ever been said or
written regarding the proper treatment
OF the feet, when we consider the amount
of suffering that may be occasioned by
their abuse. AS the health of any and
all parts of the body depends upon the
care taken of each, either voluntarily or
uncOnsciOusly, it is a marvel that the
feet are not even more frequently dis
figured by growths that injure the entire
system and, perhaps, permanently cripple
the limbs. Races that live in a state of
nature have almost invariably Except in
case of accident or natural deformity)
shapely and serviceable feetin proportion
to their general cOmeliness and physical
perfection; therefore, it must be the V
erings placed by civilized nal upon his
pedal e~XtremitieS which cause all his de-
feCts in this direction.
If our hands were thickly clad in firm.
tight fitting skins and fabrics for eight
cen hours in every twenty-four they
would soon become, to quote Ruskin,
''as ugly AZ the naked feet of prosperity"
When thus surrounded by coverings that
are we'll nigh impervious to the air, the
pores Of the feet do not act properly
and become unhealthy, while the feet
themselves grow callous and develop
those i'll natured and wondrous painful
eXcrescenCes known as bunions and
cOrns.--Delineator.
