Beginning on next Monday night
the popular Elfin Star Comedy Co.,
will occupy the Opera House for
one week. This Company was in
our city a year ago, and gave the
best satisfaction of any Company
ever appearing in McMinnville.
Mr.. Bourne, the Manager, informs
us that his Company this season is an
unusually strong one, including be-
sides himself and wife, who are prime
favorites with our people, j. II. Sny-
der, Josie Norman, w. H. st. James,
Nellie Chester, +. A. Yelvington, f.
N. Lawrence, and with Miss Nellie
Donovan at the piano. The Roper.
toire for the week is an entirely new
one, and the best ever produced here.
"Wedded and Parted" the opening
play, is by BARLEY Campbell the best
Of American Dramatists. Following
it will be given Sardou's "Felecia,"
Byron's elbow for Blow" The
celebrated Irish Comedy "Insha-
vogue" the ever popular play "La-
dy Audley's Secret" as played by
Mrs. d. p. Bowers, and an entirely
new Military Drama, translated from
the German, and arranged for the
stage by Dorothy Ross, entitled
"Nedieska." In the latter piece a
military execution in full view of the
audience will be introduced. This is
novel as well as exciting feature,
and the first time it has ever been in
trOduced in an American Drama.

A Great Cyclopedia,

The twenty-second volume Of the
Columbian Cyclopedia is announced
as just ready the entire set is to be
completed the present year, in 50 vol,
umes, aggregating about 26, 000pages.
Its price is remarkably cheap, only
$500 for the entire set, with easy in
stallment terms to those who want
them, The high character of the
works is vouched for by innumerable
witnesses, among others by Prof.
James Strong, S. T. d., Editor of
McClintock & Strong's Cyclopedia of
Biblical, Ecclesiastical and Theologi-
cal Literature, who speaks of it as
follows:
"The Columbian Cyclopedia seems
to me to strike happy medium be-
tween the loose, superficial works,
and the too elaborate and profound
ones, which few are competent or de-
sirous of using. Most of the larger
general cyclor edias are overload
ed with mass OF technical science
and official detail that is embarras>
sing and useless to ordinary readers.
The Columbian is eminently practi-
cal, sufficiently full and carefully
complied, well got up, convenient in
form and extent, remarkably cheap,
and, as l should judge, admirably
adapted to families and general con-
sultation. l think that if properly
presented to the public it will have a
very wide sale, and be an exceeding
ly useful work. There is ample room
in the market for a Cyclopedia like
this, which combines, likewise, the
advantage of being an excellent Die
tionary Of the English Language"

Don't Be Gloomy.

Those who are the victims of mer>
curial poisoning, or who are suffering
from mercurial rheumatism, are in
clined to take a gloomy view of life
when, as the poet says, "Winter is
folding its white tents and spring
getting its thunderstorms together"
Yet these victims have no reason to
despair. S. S. S. is a sure remedy for
all forms Of mercurial poisoning.
Though it is purely a vegetable med
icine, it is powerful, indeed, when
called on to chase mercury, and the
last lingering effects of mercury, out
of the system. 1t performs the work
with neatness and dispatch, as thous-
ands of testimonials show.

Prof. G. j. Denton's family arrived
last Saturday, and they are now To-
Gated in their new house near the
college.
Mr.. j. M. Denton is off on a trip
selling nursery stock.
l observed by strolling up and
down the creek this week that our
farming people are very much be.
hind with their work. Many of them
are still turning land for corn, that
ought by all means to have been
done last fall or winter. The farmer
never can prosper until he learns to
keep his work ahead, and not wait to
commence his crop until he ought to
have it planted. The last few days
has been as fine gowing weather as
ever saw in life at this season of the
year.
Mr.. St. John, the tax man, has
been around in this part of the coun.
ty for the last few days, seeing what
people are worth.

tom ccmpels the purchaser to pay upon
our goods, for the immense advantages
which free raw material would give US IN
both home and foreign markets. Free mar
kets all around would be almost as great a
relief TO US as TO the American consumer.
The wool growers of Indiana and ONO
were taught to believe that the Mckinley
bill would give them better prices. But
what is the results The embargo upon
foreign woods has closed many OF our large
woollen mills, throwing the workmen OUT
of EMPLOYMENT The fine American WOODS
are no longer in demand for mixing, and as
q consequence the farmer is getting from
four 10 five cents a pound less Tor his WOOL
than before the Mckinley bill was enacted
besides paying more for his clothing,
carpets, aud other woollens. Indeed, the
history OF our tariff legislation tends TO
prove that the higher the tariff upon Wool
the lower the price to the American wool
grower-because of the necessity OF mixing
different growths in one fabric. There was
double the present number Of sheep IN
Pennsylvania in the days OF comparatively
free wool.
This is the conclusion of the whole mat
ter: That if the American farmer wishes
to enjoy the twofold advantage of the lowest
possible price in the purchase of his sup
plies, and the best prices for his wheat,
corn and cotton exported to pay for them,
the tariff embargo must be removed.
Very respectfully,

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Not even the
adverse remarks of Senator Barbour can
prevent Virginia from expressing its
preference for Cleveland as the Presi-
Dental candidate of the Democratic
party in 1892.
Mr.. Barbour has been for several
years the able and admitted "boss" of
the Democratic organization in Vir-
ginia. He has come to regard himself
as entitled to distribute rewards, and
when Mr.. Cleveland became President
and did not act without deliberation
upon the advice of Mr.. Barbour in
making appointments, all the little
headed Democrats in Virginia, who
wait to learn what Mr.. Barbour thinks
before expressing their opinions, be-
came noisy and brutal opponents OF
Cleveland, and some of them talked as
if they had been told that they were to
be Hill men.
Representative Lee, who repre- sentS
the district in which Senator Barbour
lives, was in the city to-day and talked
briefly with reporter. He does not
appear TO be following the Barbour

TIE NEW SILVER LAW.

On and after the first of this month

dollars each month.
Under the act Of February IS, 1873,
the former silver law, monthly pur-
chase and coinage into silver dollars Of
not less than 100000 nor more than

reouired. The successive Secretaries
Of the Treasury Of both parties actually
restricted the purchase and silver dollar
coinage TO S2,OOO,O 900 worth Of silver
bullion. the minimum required by the
law. This statute was superseded by
the act Of July II, 1890, the present
silver law, which directs the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury to purchase
silver bullion to the aggregate
amount Of 4,5OO,O 900 ounces or as much
thereof as may be offered in each month,
at the market price thereof. not exceed
ing one dollar for the quantity Of pure
silver contained in standard silver dol
lar. This amount is TO be paid for by a
new kind Of legal tender paper money
called Treasury notes. The monthly
coinage Of silver bullion into standard
dollars for the time prior to July 1, 1891,
was fixed at 100000 ounces, and on
and after July l, 1891, the Secretary IS
required TO coin Of the silver bullion

to provide for the redemption Of the
Treasury notes.
