NEW STEAMER EUGENE.

The new steamboat Eugene will be COM
pleted within short time, when she will
be put on the Willamette to ply on the up
per river route. She is very neat craft
and is built for both passengers and freight.
Her principal advantage Ii being light
draft, fitting her for shallow water and
summer trade. The boilers are yet to be
placed into position and the boat painted
before she will be ready to battle the billows.
The boilers, engine and cabin are the same
as those used by the ManzaRillo, which be-
longs to the same company as the Eugene.
The dimensions of this boat will be l35 feet
In length, so feet beam, 5 feet depth Of
hold and ID inches draft, light. She will
carry 200 tons, and her speed will be av-
erage. Her cylinders are l2x60 and carry
a steam capacity of $50 pounds to the
square inch. Eugene and up-river towns
are badly in need of craft that can at all
times operate at any stage of water on the
river. There is enough trade in the dry
season to keep boat busy, and vessel
that can steam over the shoal bars of the
river at low water is just the thing for the
valley towns.

TO AID THE SETTLER.

Senator Dolph has secured report from
the senate committee on public lands upon
his bill to repay to settlers within the for
feited land grants who paid 81. 80 per acre
for their lands a return of Sl.25 per acre OF
all money so paid. Settlers were compelled
to pay this money because the lands were
within the railroad land grants, and con.
gress, in its wisdom of many years ago,
thought that lands where settlers could only
take every other section were more valua-
BILE than where they could take all the lands,
and when they proved up on their claims
they paid 81. so per acre for them. This
matter has been before congress for some
time, and in nearly every session Senator
Dolph has secured favorable report upon
his bill. The bill passed once by strict
party vote. The present bill would not
have been reported from the cemmittee on
public lands had not one of the populist
members of the committee voted with Sena-
tor Dolph and the other republicans, and
given them a bare majority. 1t may be
that the populists will vote for Senator
Dolphs bill in the senate but that will not
give him majority; and az it is pretty cer'
tain that every democrat will vote against
the bill it will be defeated. The bill is ap-
proved by the democratic secretary of the
interior and the commissioner of the general
land Office. 1t was also approved by their
republican predecessors. Commissioner
Lamoreux estimates that the repayment of
this money would necessitate an appropria-
tiOn of 81 500 OOU

CUT OFF HIS PIG.TAIL.

On Wednesday night George Avery, hav.
ing INDUCED in little too much of the

to amuse himself and associates in relieving
one Chinaman Charley of his queue by cut.
ting off the same with sharp knife, which it
is said he always has in handy place.
This poor Chinaman's chances for
heaven are now slim, indeed, if death
should follow soon, for that seems to be a

What inducement Mr.. Avery had for in
dulging in Chinese pig-tail on this occasion
Is not known. 1t is known, however, that
in some places such an indulgence would be
made rather an expensive luxury, but
whether it will in this instance remains to
be seen.

MUSCLE. VIGOR-A DIFFERENCE

Many muscular men succumb to fatigres
borne with ease by persons far their infer
iors in physical strength. Muscle does not
imply vigor. In fact, it is not difficult OF
proof that athletes do not live as long nor
enjoy as good health as the average lndl-
vidual who is vigerous-that is to say,
whose digestion and sleep are unimpaired.
whose nerves are tranquil, and who has no
organic tendency to disease. These requi-
sites of vigor are conferred upon those in
herently weak, NO less than upon those de-
bilitated through wasting disease, by
thorough, persistent course of Hsstetter' s

spite the short time given these players
in which to commit their lines, the change
did not prove detrimental to the success OF
the play, which for the most part was an
improvement over the first attempt. Many
who had seen the performance of Friday
evening were sufficiently pleased to return
again, and the universal comment was that
in most instances the drama was improved.
The comments of the street were amusing
to hear.
Sid Addition, as stage manager, proved
success.
The opera house was miserably heated on
Tuesday night.
Don RAYS song was well received, as was
his Characterization of the body servant.
Marion johnson, perhaps, made the pest
appearance of any of the gentlemanly Ro-
mans

lieve that each are entitled to advance to-

step.
There were many opportunities for indl

THE EXPENSE OF CHURCH MUSIC

The expense of the music in the church is
perpetual problem. the solution of which
must depend upon the circumstances of the
church, writes the Rev. Lyman Abbott, in
an able article on "The Church and the
Choir" in the March Ladies' Home Jour.
nal. My own experience leads me to the
conviction that the first thing for chnrch
to do is to secure a.good organist and choir
master and pay,them a fair compensation.

SCENE, ROME.


SCENE, ROME.
The first of act presented street scene
in which the actors of minor iparts each ac-
Quilted themselves creditably and passed off
on the expedition for the benefit OF the
mender OF mems soles only to make room
for a more imposing group of intellect and
beauty galore, introducing all the stars and
would bes to the public gaze. The immor-
tai Cesar, impersonatedi.by w. +. Paul, a
gentleman and actor of no mean ability, led
the procession, followed by Calphurnia,
ANTONY. Brutus, PortIa, Cassius and others
of lesser pretensions. 1t is here that Caesar
receives an indefinite intimation from a
soothsayer that his life will not be long con-
tinued. Here also occurs beautiful piece
of acting betwseni ,Brutus and Cassius, the
star performers as.iusually billed, wherein
the latter influences the mind of his friend
Brutus with an effective speech and the seed
of conspiracy is sown that finally results in
the death of SO great and good man as
Julius Cesar. The audience by this time
began to realize that their visit was not IN
vain, or in other, words, that those on the
stage were prepared to furnish an entertain
ment in q manner worthy of production be-
fore an audience of more metropolitan caste.
Members of the company throughout the
entire play distinguished themselves III

NIB. JULIUS CESAR.
This Celebrated Individual Dra-
matically Represented
by Local Talent.

Shakespeare's tragedy drama Julius Ca.
sar" was presented at the opera house last
Friday evening to the largest audience ever
attending any amateur performance in this
city. and was given under an organization
of amateur actors styled the o. A, G. dra-
matte club, of which Prof, George W. Shaw
and J. Bernard Walker were the leading
spirits, and to whom is largely due the
credit of the successful rendition of this
very difhcnlt dramatic tragedy. Long had
the Corvallis public waited with much
anxiety for the approach of. the date on
which the constellation of local stars would
shine in costumes of Romantic pattern in
their attempt to delineats the ancient habits
and customs of the great Shakespeare
mythical hero. Equally long had been the
suspense of members of the cast of charac-
ters in anticipation of either failure or sue
cess, whose rehearsals and re-rehersals were
oftimss repeated, both publicly and in
private way whenever opportunity pre-
sented-and in fact the entire public pulse
was quickened during the latter days to
even higher degree of excitement than
when football was the absorbing topic. In
due season the press of THE GAZETTE exc
cuted handsome ons-sheet posters proclaim
ing the event to the world and the city pa
pers from time to time recounted the virtues
of Julius and his Roman subjects up to the
morning when the sale of seats began and
by noon of that day over 200 ardent ad-
mirers of the aggregation had blown IN
their hard silver coin for the purchase oi
tickets of admission, bearing upon thell
faces the title of the play. This enthusiasm
continued until the hour set for the rising
of the curtain. Many purchasers were OF
the prospective sort, some feeling that per-
haps it would have been better to donate
their half dollars to the poor instead oi
wasting the same in selftorture, while
others entertained a half-developed idea
that the scheme was ALI right, and at 81!
D. m. on Friday the 10Th inst, when the
signal was given for the curtain to rise
there was never assembled in Corvallis
house of amusement a more refined or alp
preciative audience, who had been condi
toned by the pleasing strains of aerold'

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-.
gether. and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac.
tured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the mar.
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on
the blood and mucuous surfaces of the sys.
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
