LoYD's BIG pAvlLloN

Uncle TOMS Cabin, Monday, July %.
Monday July 29th, at Athena,
Loyd's Big Pavilion Uncle Toms
Cabin will be the attraction, play
ing under monster Canvas Opera
House, with large stage Supplied
with new and appropriate scenery.
Solo band and operate orchestra,
genuine Siberian blood hounds
donkeys, ponies. Prices have been
reduced to 25 and so cents. A grand
street parade. The Tacoma Led
ger says:
To old and young alike there is
something attractive about can
vass show, from a little sideshow
tent with flaming pictures of i'm.
possible freaks upon the outside
described in glowing terms by the
hoarse voiced announcer to the
acres Of canvas of the greatest show
on earth, the public is irresistably
drawn. The novelty of a first-class
Uncle Toms Cabin company play
| ing under mammoth pavilion
proved no exception yesterday and
from the time the first load Of poles,
jacks, stringers, etc, was drawn on
the lot at Everett and Ninth street,
there was curious throng who re-
mained in varying numbers until
the doors were opened at 7 o'clock
in the evening. There was a rush
for tickets and the most desirable
seats, and at eight the enormous
canvas Of Loyd's Big Pavilion COM
pany was crowded. The stage was
large and supplied with new and APP
propriate scenery especially paint
ed for the play. The orchestra was
fine and the performance through
out far superior to any usually
seen in the opera house given by
companies Of this character. Not
forgetting to mention the magnifi-
cient street parade it must be adj
mitted that this excellent company
fully kept faith with the public
add fulfilled every promise Of their

WAS THE wars FIRST VICTIM.
How the First Blood ofthe South in
the Civil Conflict Was Shed.

How the First Blood ofthe South in
the Civil Conflict Was Shed.
While Virginia can claim the
honor of having been the battle-
ground of the Confederacy, her
fields made historic by the armies
that watered her sod with blood of
thousands who perished that their
principal might live,. she has also
the proud claim that it was one of
her sons who was first to fall in tt Q
defense of what the South believed
to be her rights, and for 80 years
the hero has been sleeping In the
little cemetery at Warrenton.
All about are the green meadows
rising into sloping fields of grain
whose golden flood is ripping TO
the summer winds and fiecked with
the shadows of the passing clouds.
Away roll the foothills till they
blend in the blue of the distant
wooded mountains whose purple
eresla are the last to catch the rosy
flush of the dying day. In such a
scene of pastoral beauty it is i'm
possible for,one to think that sgrim-
yisaged war" once reared in his
horrid 'front.'" that slaughter, pill
lage and death ran riot while from
the valleys and mountain sides
came the wall of fatherless babes
and broken-hearted women whose
husbands had gone down to be
murdered by what civilization
calls modern war. Yet such was
the scene 35 years ago when the
troops of South and North met in
great conflict.
The monument TO Captain Marr
is simple shaft Of white marble
devoid Of any ornamentation, and
rising high above the other head
stones that surround it. Over the
grave is a thick bed Of vines, that
nestle lovingly about the foot Of
the shaft, and the white marble
coming out Of the mass Of culver
ing leaves stands out in bold re-
lief against the soft background Of
summer sky.
Young Captain Mari was a Vir-
ginian, who had just finished at
the best colleges in his state and
joined the company Of "rifemen'
who displayed the greatest bravery
in their first fight. The company
Of light infantry was under Colonel
EweIl, and on the first of June
1861, wass stationed at Fairfax
Courthouse, with several other
companies. Down about Arling'
ton company B, Second cavalry Of
the Union forces, commanded BY
Lieutenant Charles Fl. Tompkins
was posted, and about rs fner

the dawn Of June day. The gray
light was just tinging the sky as
the men drew near the town, and
so unaccustomed to the stern dis
cipline of war were the Southern
soldiers that their sentries were .
found asleep at their posts and
captured.
The Union troop met warm re-
ception when they entered the
village streets; for, from every win
dow there came shot and the con
federate soldiers attacked the enc.
my. A sharp skirmish took place,
the Warrenton Rifles taking the
most conspicuous part, and the
Union men retreated in the difec-
tion of Washington, taking off five
prisoners and two horses. Their
loss was four men wounded and
nine horses lost. Colonel Ewell
was wounded in the right shoulder
and Captain Marr was killed.
1t seems that the Union troops
on first entering the town had
passed completely through and
gone short distance in the direc-
tion of Germantown. Captain
Marr's company of light infantry
took up a position on the road to
intercept their return,
The Union troops reappeared and
formed at the foot of the street,
and an exchange of shots took
place, after which the federals fell
back a short way. In a little
while, however, they formed again
in the same spot, and quite a little
skirmish took place before the COM
mand Of Lieutenant Tompkins
moved away, leaving three prison
ers in the hand Of the enemy.
Captain Mari, who had started
with some Of his men towards the
Union soldiers, was shot through
the heart. and fell short distance
from the field.
This was the first actual combat
of the civil war, and the one man
to fall was among Virginia's
sons. On the time-stained bricks
ofthe big courthouse at Fairfax
are still shown the marks where
the bullets flattened against them
on that memorable morn, and the
village which preserves the will Of
his country, also keeps sacred the
memory of one who was first in
war to fall for his native soil.

WORK AT THE LOCKS.
Removing the Bulkhead and Other
Work Preparatory to Opening the
Canal.

Removing the Bulkheed and Other
Work Preparatory to Opening the
Canal.
The work of removing the bulk
head is being pushed with the
greatest activity, and the contrac-
tors have about 300 men at work
on this part of the canal. After
the dirt has been removed, which
was thrown there in 1850 to save
the works there are twenty feet OF
solid rock that will have to be
blasted out before the walls above
and below can be connected This
bulkhead has been in position
fifteen years, and from the soil that
was placed there@-t8e protect the
works from Tie Aeed Of that year
shrubery and trees have grown to
a considerable height. The walls
above and below this bulkhead are
completed, and two gates are in
position--one Mthe upper and
another at theVfo@er end Of the
canal. AS soons sas this is removed
the walls will be connected by solid
masonry and theN 6bankment
rip-rapped. Then two more gates
will be put in and boats can pass
through without any obstruction.
OF course the work will not be
finished, but it will be sufficiently
SO to answer the purposes of river
traffic. 1t was calculated that it
would take rs days work to remove
the bulkhead, and this will be ac-
complished some time in Septem-
ber. The walls will then be finished
and the gates placed in position,
and the canal and locks at the Cas-
cades will be a reality. All this
work can be done by Christmas,
says The Dalles Times Mountaineer
and, there ean be no doubt that by
thAB date tha Columbia, so faf as
ThSSD DAlles and vicinity are con-
cefned, will flow unvexed to oansnty
'its wealth Of waters into the lap Of
Mother Ocean.

from AZ cents and you have a net
Of 81 cents after shipping to Port
land, leaving a difference of 2 cents
per bushel in favor of the Chicago
market. These figures are not
authoritative and probably would
not stand close investigation, but
We believe they are approximately
correct. 1t would be the making
of the country if we could secure an
eastern market for grain, and those
most deeply interested should put
their shoulders to the wheel and
see if it can't be lifted out of the
rut.- Milton Eagle.

Free Tuition.

The abolishment of scholarship
will mark another era in the ad-
vancing prosperity of the Oregon
agricultural college. The majority
of those who attend mechanical
and agricultural school are stud
ents whose purses are light, and a
great many have to earn their ex-
penses while attending the college.
To them the tuition fee is con-
siderable matter. This will result
In greatly increased attendance.
The state has hitherto provided
that 70 free scholarships, distribu-
ted among the several counties,
but as they were obtained through
personal favor and influence and
not by competition OF merit, it was
proper that they should be abolish
ed, or all tuition made free.
Over $4,000 was expended for
student labor on the college farm
last year, and the board. has de-
cided to increase the amount in
1866 Students who are indus
trious and frugal can make their
way through college, though they
enter practically penniless. Several
bright young men walked from
Coos county to Corvallis last fall,
arriving with hardly dollar in
their pockets. They entered the
college and completed the year,
getting good grade in their studies.
They went home by train, after
commencement, with good clothes
on their backs and money in their
pockets. But they worked and
were not fastidious as to the quail
ity of work. Some of them waited
on tables, and one cooked and per-
formed housework in q private
family. They were not ashamed
Of honest labor, and their fellow
students were not ashamed Of them.
They were among the most popular
young men in the college. In such
is the material of which men are
made.

Concerning Quart Location


To make quartz location here
after the prospecter must sink a
hole at least ten feet deep to solid
formation, must have at least, one
we'll defined vein and must stake
his ground so that the stake can be
found. The notice of location
must be placed in a conspicuous
place at the discovery shaft, where
1T can be seen--not on. some stump
or tree in the neighoborhood.
He is allowed ninety days to do
this work. lfhe locates an old
prospect hole, he is required to
sink it at least ten feet deeper than
when he first found it, and stake
and record his location the same
as though it was an original dis
covery. 1t he runs q tunnel it
must be at least ten feet so as to. de-
termine the fact that vein sup
posed to carry the precious metals
has been discovered.

Carter vs.. Stevens, opinion by
Moore, J., involving the the plain
tiff Ia woman) to hold the office of
school superintendent, Of Union
county, was affirmed. The effect
of the decision. is that woman
holding a certificate of election,
aided by the statue of this state,
permitting woman to hold that
office, gives her prima facia title
to the office, and the prior incum-
bent may be compelled under
mandamus proceedings to deliver
up the books and all pertaining to
the Office; and that before the
question Of feligibility can be proper
ly raised proceedings in quo war;

THEY STEAL STOCK.
They are Organized and Defy the Law

They are Organized and Defy the Law.
For years, says the Walla Walla
Statesman, in Walla Walla, Una
tilla and Whitman counties, there
has been an organization that has
had for its avowed object the pur-
Joining of cattle and horses from
peaceful and aw-abiding citizens,
It is SO we'll organized that the
members almost defy the law and
laugh in the face of the officers. In
case of pursuit for a DEPRESSION OF
the law word is handed SO quickly
and quietly among them and the
culprit is shielded and sheltered by
friendly hands until out Of danger,
SO that it is almost an impossib-
ility to effect a capture. In the
event of the capture, which has
frequently been the case under our
present jury system, freedom is
the result and the culprit is again
free to ply his nefarious avocation.
In the juries, too, no doubt, there
are often sympathisers or even
members Of the gang. Pards of
the accused are put on the witness
stand also, and swear falsely,
createing doubt in the mind of
jury and judge. 1t has been repeat
ed SO frequently that the officers
are heartily discouraged and feel.
somewhat lukewarm in endeavor-
ing to corner the lawbreakers. In
fact, some have laughingly ex-
pressed the idea that there was
more money in the thieving busi-
ness with less risk than any occu.
patton one could follow. These
thieves, too, have spies constantly
watching the movements. of the
officers and in case Of any suspic-
ious movements on their part the
rogues take refuge in flight.
The matter of expense cuts
quite figure also. When bills in
many cases for extra expense in
running to earth, or endeavoring
to do so, some thief or thieves is
presented, there is danger Of the
officials back of the officers disal-
owing the same. This, too, the
officers have tumbled to.
The recent case of the murder Of
Constable Conlee near Sprague, is
an example of what we may ex-
pect from these men. They have
virtually taken possession Of the
mountain districts, and seemingly
imagine that they rule the roost.
A repetition of the Conlee affair
should by all means be headed off
by adopting drastic measures
which will obliterate from our
midst these worthless and desper-
ate characters. Let it cost few
hundred dollars to set an example
of few of those Williams and the
others will take hint and leave
the country or desist.
Inc whole trouble seems to lie
in the fact that these men are en-
deavoring to get a soft living,
and TO live without work they must
necessarily steal. To get this ,liv-
ing in the easist way possible and
scheme to escape the penitentiary
is the object. Law.abiding citizens
are thesufferers, whose hard-earned
money in the. shape Of cattle and
horses goes to support these lazy,
good for nothing men.
A little investigation into this
matter and decided move would
rid US Of this pest and earn to the
aggressors the everlasting graft
tude ofan oppressed community.

! Over in Walla Walla, in answer
to the ring at the door bell Of a pri-
vate residence one day last week
the lady Of the house opened the
door and was startled at the sight
which met her gaze. A tramp
stood on the steps nude from the

door and called her husband, who
gave the man shirt and told him

Both Houses at Pierre Have Now Com
CURED in the Resolution Carried IN
the Senate BY : Vote Of 90 70
l7-How They Voted.

PIERRE, Jan. 0-The great resubmis-
sion fight was practically decided TODAY
by q triumph Of the majority report OF
the committee, recommending that the
bill pass.
The lobby OF the senate was iammed
with people, including Mrs. Cranmer
the leader OF the opposition, and M.
Kaufman, the father Of the bill.
An hour was spent reading petitions
from thirty eight counties and signed by
COCO names praying that the bib be de-
lfeated.
Then two hours were devoted TO
speechmaking. The principal addresses
we're made by McGee Of Rapid City and
leader OF the populists, Doran OF San
born county, Lowthian OF Grant and
Pease OF Roberts against the measure,
and by Rice OF Deadwood, Wilson of Hot
Springs, Apiin OF Beadle and Boyce OF
Minnehaha in its favor.
The speeches, while showing much elo-
qnence and exhibiting the arguments on
both sides or the question, made no
change in the vote. The canvass has
gone on for two weeks, and 1T was we'll
known before the voting began how
every member stood.
This is the most important question SO
far considered, and probably the most
important question OF the session 30 far
as general public interest goes.
The ~prchibrtory law has been tried for
five years, and this measure will give the
people a chance to say what they think
about il.
The following is the vote in detail:
