THE SPY OF GETTYSBURG

The average war play is Objectionable in
many respects. Sometimes battle scenes
are introduced, which are always very diff
cult and usually ridiculous, the unity Of inn
preston is frequently broken by the aimless
shifting of scenes; the characters too often
waste time i'll patriotic speeches-talking
Instead of acting-and in many cases these
so-called war dramas are written without
the authors possessing any knowledge Of
military matters. The ''Spy of Gettysburg"
is happily free from all these faults. The
action is sharp and decisive; the authors
thorough acquaintance with military tactics,
and his careful study of the mon1entious
It uggle at Gettysburg have enabled him to
draw clear and accurate picture, depicting
life as it was in the exciting days of '63.
This highly entertaining drama has been
strongly cast, some of our best home tai
ent taking part. The play has been under
rehersal for some time and it is safe to predict
that it will be performed in an artistic man
ner. It is the intention Of the young peo-
pie to produce the play about May 9th.

BURDETTE WOLFE SEEN.

A dispatch from Colfax says that Ed.

describes the meeting:

aation. He had supply Of food, and being
heavily armed WAS prepared to make ! long
Journey. He made a bed of brush some
distance from the trail about sundovp..
when his alert ears heard the cracking Of
bushes only a few yards away. His suspic.
ions were aroused and he crouched down
and waited. Suddenly he WAS covered BY
pistol in the hands of man who had /
look Of wildness in his eyes. Hill made thss
man explain his action, and it was done in = !
voice that had desperation in it.
When Hill assured him that huee; was OH
nobodys trail and fugitive himself. the
two sat down together and rested on the
safiie brush bed. The two were travelling in
opposite directions. The wildeyed stranger
of the mountains was Burdette Wolfe. whd

He was the girl murderer. of Multnoinaah

TAKE A WALK.

A good walk does " hat so many patent
medicines profess, but usually fail to do,
it helps to prevent almost any ailmsnt under
the sun; and it does it by keeping the sys
tenn in good condition. During the tine
they were living in London, Dean Swftsand
Matthew Prior used to take long walks to-
gether daily, for their health, explaining to
their friends that Swift was walking to re-
duce his flesh. and Prior, who was notori
ously thin, to add to his. The two objects
are not inconsistent; for extreme leanness,
as well as extreme feshiness, is due to i'm
perfect assimilation OF food, and the walk
by improving digestion, will serve to modify
each complaint. There is nothing which
will so surely render useless all tonics, anti
fat remedies, liver pills, and cosmetics OF
every description, as fine, brisk, cheer.

A meeting of the citiz.ns was held last
Monday evening and affected an organiza-

League" The object of the society is
stated to be that of keeping vigil over the
civic make up of the community to, urge en-
forcement of the Laws, more particularly for
the safeguard eff the youth, and to call at
tsntion to all violations. Thirty members
were enrolled. Professor Letcher is presi-
dent o. the league.

A man has to be pretty we'll covered with
moss not to he a regular advertiser. Here
is another case of the value of advertising
children. After failing to find it for two
days, they put twenty-five cent notice in
a pape, and the next morning they were sur
prised to see an alligator upon the door step.
where he had disgorged the lost child alive,
aud then JED hialsalf. They sold the al
gators hide for S., and the parents are ex-
hibiting the child in dime museum for $50
per week. The story illustrates the value
of advertising. 1t also illustrates the writer
as a cheerful and painstaking liar.
Another Oregon boy has won great honors,
out in the big world. Percy N. Olmsted,
son OF Jadge NJ. L. OImsted, of Baker City,
is the cadet for Oregon at Annapolis, and
was houored by the grade of commander of
tanned purely by merit and hard work. The
class graduates June lst, fter which Percy
will be sent abroad for two years, before be-
ing commissioned fer regular service. He
holds the second best record i'll the world for
artillery shooting, the first being held by
Minnesota boy, who is cadet at Annapolis.
As soon vacancy occurs Percy will go
into the service of Uncle Sam on board one
of the monster war ships which carry the
stars and stripes.
The American protectorate in Hawaii has
gone out of commission. The stars and
stripes have very gracefully come down
from the heights and gone back to mind
their own business, at the masthead of
iudicious neutrality. It was only the dis
appointed speculator who saw anything in
the proceedings to shed tears over. TIE
swarthy Kanaka looked on with stolid il =
difference, and there is nothing to indicate
but that business will go oil in Hawaii just
as prospcrously as it has in years gone by
putting enough msney in the pockets Of
Messrs. Clans Sprsckles ct. al. to protect
them from poverty, although it may net
crown them with the prince!y fortunes
which annexation would have assured their.
The Chinese residents of Corvallis will
not register under the Geary law, neither
will they pose in the picture business. Sor-
bin, the intelligent laundry tyee, says they
won't. They will all 90 to Jail first; then
the big merchants will ''put up the stuff
aud get them out. Sorbin Says they will.
There is systematic understanding among
the celessials of The country just what to do
in this matter, and if there is one of them
on American soil who is not thoroughly
advised upon it, it must be one who has
abandoned his tribal relations or is not worth
looking after from some cause or another.
Meantime there is a tinge Of acknowledg'
ment on the part Of the government that it
has slightly put its foot in it with the new
law, rom the fact of its having withdrawn
the photography clause of the measure.
The United States marshal at Portland mott.
fes all Cinnamon that he will enforce the
law. Looks as if there might be some fun
ahead.

A BIG PAY DAY.

Yesterday forenoon special train arrived
in Corvallis over the Oregon Pacific railroad
bringing a number of officials of the road.
important among these was John P. Fay,
! of the law firm of Fay & Gest, attorneys for
the present management, who has just re-
turned from New York. Under the circum.
stances it was quite natural to surmise that
something was on the tapis, and ere long the
rumor went flying about that the promised
$50, 900 back pay due the railroad men was
about to come forth. Nor did the report in
this instance prove shadowy disappoint-
nlent, as similar reports have so often proved
before. 4 few hours later it developed into
a veritable fact. when PAymasser Hogue
took his train for the bay, where he CON-
menced, to distribute the long looked for
funds that will make glad the hearts of
many men along the line.
The payment now making constitutes 46
per cent. of arrsarages. 1t begins with the
7th of March, the date upon which the re.
ceivership changed, and goes back to Octo-
Der. While this leaves the larger balance
still due the labor creditors, still it will be
as comforting police to an aching brow,
until the sale of the road which comes on
apace, when there is every reason to believe
provisions will be made for the payment of
the back wages still due. At any rate the
air of determination now prevalent in tn e
management to get affairs Strengthened out
aud the road on payiug basis, inspires all
soncerned with new hope and confidence,
and there is broad smile of satisfaction
visible on every counternance in the COM
Inunity.
