The brownie entertainment.

One of the most unusual, yet delight
full, church entertainments was. the
Brownies Saturday night at the Bald
win. 1t attracted house full of people,
who took no note of time, because they
were pleased to the last fall of the cur
tain. The chief source of interest, of
couse, were the Brownies themselves,
who appeared eight times during the
evening When the curtain rose for
their fret appearance and they filed in
through the wings and began fantastic
march, the lights being turned down in

the auditorium, they seemed to people a
fairy world, apart from the practical one
just before them, an elf-land where the
unexpected was to be expected, capable
of all sorts of hobgoblin antics, such as
are cleaned from nursery lore or the re
ality of childish dream. This expert
ence was enhanced by the Brownies act
ing entirely in pantomime. There were
nearly thirty of them, little people with
fat stomachs, gaIly costumed, and fit
ting among each other with central
purpose, yet no concerted manner of at
tanning it. Once only after the arrival
chorus did they use their voices, the
Brownies at singing school, but the
combined product of sound, as might
have been expected, was a Babel of
noise, yet not noisy, no two having the
same key or saying the same words, if
indeed they were words at all. Very
comical was the Brownies at the polls,
initiating the action of their elders with
all their earnestness and conflicting in
terests.
The baby Brownie. was Alden New
man, years old. OF about the same
size, but year older, was Gilbert Kelly.
These two midgets did not exhibit the
least embarrassment, and kept the au-
dience laughing with their natural and
inimitable antics.
The numbers between the appearance
of the Brownies were very satisfactorily
given. Especially worthy OF comment
were the solos by Miss Aldrich, the eu-
phonium solo by Mr.. ]. G. Miller and
the recitations by Miss Vandersal, and
they. were compelled to respond to en-
thusiastic encores.
The entertainments will be repeated
this evening, with some changes in the
musical program and a different recita-
ton by Miss Vandersal, as there were
many who were prevented from attend
ing Saturday evening by other engage
ments.

MITCHELL IN RUINS.
one-HalfEof the Town Destroyed-Firs's
Swift Work.


Il The lower part of the town of Mitchell
was almost entirely destroyed by fire on
"wednesday afternoon, March 25th. The
first news possible to get is from the
Mitchell Monitor, owing to the extreme
Rly poor mail facilities of that inland
town. Mitchell is ninety miles from
/ Antelope, and stage runs from Mitchell
through Antelope to The Dalles. There
is no telegraphic communication, and as
the Antelope stage does not wait for the
Mitchell mail, it is often four or five
days before a letter can reach the rail-
road from Mitchell.
The fire originated in Misener's new
block in lower town on the lower floor,
occupied by w. L. Palmer and ]. F.
Magee. 1t is not known how the fire
started, Mr.. Palmer's family being abb
sent at the time, When the fire was
fret discovered the smoke and flames
were bursting through the roof and sides
of the building and in less time than it
takes to tell it the whole building was in
flames. The front part was occupied by
]. F. Magee as a grocery store, and the
upper story was hall occupied by the
Knights of Pythias and the A. o. U. w.
The flames soon commenced with adjoin-
ing buildings, and as quite a strong
wind was blowing up the canyon there
was no hope of saving them. 1t was
only by the most strenuous efforts that
the fire was prevented from reaching
the upper portion of the town.
The following is believed to be the
only insurance: S. T. Brennan $500, R.
E. Misener $4,000, ]. F. Magee 5000.
Total $500.
The buildings burned are as follows
-Misener block, described above; the old
Mitchell hotel adjoining on the west
three residences owned by R. E.
Misener, occupied by S. F. Allen, R. E.
Misener and N. S. Misener, respectively.
A. @. McEachern's residence, black
smith shop, saloon and livery stable,
and Misener's saloon. Misener's wine,
cellar, the old store building formerly
occupied by L. Howard, the Monitor
Office, Sasser's store building and barns
and Geo. Collins shop alone remain in
lower town. Household goods were
moved into the street, but most were
burned. w. L. Palmer and J. F. Magee
saved absolutely nothing of their house
hold effects, the others losing almost
everything, much of it burning in the
streets after being removed from the
houses.

but whether or not it is a josh we don't
want to be asked: s'A passer-by along
First street during the wee sma' hours
of a recently vanished day, heard some
very unusual noises emanating from
above the Johns Lum mbering Co.'s Office.
Being unfamiliar with the interior, it
appeared to his disturbed senses that q
great crime was being perpetrated; as if
sofa had been thrown by an inn
passioned hand at human victim, who
lodged it, the. sofa striking the wall
ninety feet beyond. Other noises fol-
lowed, suggesting the impression that
the would-be murderer had followed up
his disadvantage by wrenchIng the CRATE
ont of furnace, telling his victim at
last and dragging him along hallway.
Wrought to an extreme state of mental
agitation, he softly bounded up the
steps of the Commercial Club, deliber-
ately forced the doors at the head of the
stairway. and then his astonished gaze
beheld E. G. Pease taking bowling les
sons of Judge Bradshaw. The mystery
was explained. Pease will now give
anybody anxious to try conclusions with
him on bowling, start of eight points.

mckinley Club Ra1Ty.

The delegates of the county conven-
ton were invited to grand Republican
rally at O'Clock Saturday evening, and
the invitation was accepted. The meet
ing was under the auspices of the Nc
Kinley club. of which Mr.. F. w. Wilson
is president, and that gentleman pre-
sided. The hall was filled with dele
gates and Republicans from both the
city and county. Mr.. Cooke of Hood
River set the ball rolling by a ridic-
ulously funny burlesque speech on the
coinage question. This speech had the
effect of putting everyone in good humor
and anxious for the solids to follow.
Mr.. M. P. Isenberg next gave charac-
terIstie speech, abounding in good Re-
publican doctrine, forcibIy expressed
Mr.. John Michel followed with an able
expose of the Republican attitude on
the tariff and coinage questions. Mr.. NJ
A. Moody was next called upon for a
speech. He responded briefly, thank
ing the delegates who voted in his in
terests at the convention just past. Mr..
B. S. Huntington then made very ap-
propriate and witty speech, followed by
Mr.. Hugh Gourlay in one of his felicitous
efforts. This rally, the first after the
convention, gives the Republican part
OF the cam paign an impetus that will
gain strength as time advances and re-
suit in an overwhelming victory at the
polls next June. The delegates present
were in SPLENDID humor to accept the
invitation given at the close of the meet
ing by the Commercial Club to enjoy
the hospitality of the club rooms, and
nearly all ayaiIed themselves of the
kindness. They were soon thereafter
entertaining themselves in jolly man
ner at the bowling alley and other
points of interest at the club.

should control the trade of that entire

The opening evening OF the Night
school may be regarded as sue
cess. Ninety-nine pupils enrolled
themselves, the ages ranging from
Is to 80 years. Professor Alex
ander, who was present, seemed
very much pleased. 1t was really
very encouraging thing to see the
earnestness of those who were will
ing to have the opportunity to
learn. There has probably been
nothing so popular for long time
as this move for establishing a
night school.

AN EDUCATIONAL CHANGE.

A circular issued by the Board
of Education relative to the use OF
school houses for religious pur-
poses will doubtless cause some
discussion, but it is certainly in
accord with the spirit Of the age
and in consonance with the ''evi-
dent intention" of the Constitu-
ton.
1t has been the custom in the
past to allow the use Of the Gov
eminent school houses for religious
teaching after 2 o'clock for one
hour per week to the clergymen or
priests of any denomination.
While in many places this plan
has worked without friction, in
other places it has caused consid-
cradle friction and jealousy. From
our point of view the public schools
should be distinctly secular and
the teachers and officers of the
Board should be very strictly en-
Joined to avoid all religious
topics"
We have two great religious
bodies, the Roman Catholic and
the Protestant, the latter some
what subdivided into various
branches. The religion of a teacher
should never be either a detriment
or an advantage in his obtaining
under the Board. We
believe that of late years it has
never been so and that a large
of Roman Catholics as we'll
rs Protestants have been employed,
and the question of religion has
not been considered, only the quail
ications of the appointee.
Now the present regulation, while
stopping all religious training in
he schools by the clergy of any
denomination, evidently calls the
of teachers to the fact
hat they also must refrain from
'eligious topics and from infu-
'pcing their pupils in any way
owards the particular form to
which they belong. Purely non
schools should be the
MOTTO Of every advanced man and
We notice that the use of
he Lords prayer for commencing
chool is permissive, and not man
Iatory as heretofore. AS a fact
he mandatory clause was not al
Ways observed.
The Board is evidently DESTROYS
f treating all religious bodies alike,
nd is mindful of the motto, g in
ledio tutissimus ibis"
