RICHARD AND PRINGLE's MIN
STRELS

Montgomery (Ala.) is always good show
town, and is particularly fond Of minstrelsy.
A critic on one Of its leading papers has the
following:
There was two hours of solid fun at Nc
Donald's Friday night, Richards & Pringle's
Georgia Minstrels holding the boards. This
is the only company extant composed ex-
clusively of genuine negroes. The writer.
always interested in ethnologic problems,
was anxious to compare the real Ethiopian
delineator of the negro in comedy with the
burnt cork Caucasian in the same role, and
found in this instance the dusky African was
the superior of the two.
Billy Kersands was immense, and during
the latter part Of the performance his every
appearance on the stage was greeted with
applause. His local hits, while unintelligi-
bic to the white portion Of the audience, were
uproarously applauded by the colored ele-
ment, aud from their standpoint were hits
indeed. As two stylish old gents, and in
other parts E. Hillman and Robert Vernon
secured the cordial appreciation of their
hearers. The great Gauze, in his natural
/ representation of female characters, and
Billy Reynolds as the old man impersona-
tor, ELECTED considerable applause. The per-
formance was a comic and musical treat, and
one Of the very best minstrel shows ever iii
Alabama.
This company will be at the Opera House
next Saturday evening. Reserved seats now

Miss Maud Hoffman leaves the latter
part of this week for New York, where
she has several fattcring offers from lead
ing theatre managers of the United States.
Should none of these offers be accepted, she
will go on to London and resume her former
place with Wilson Barrett with whom she
has been playing leading roles for the past
two years with splendid success. But for
Miss Hotfman's decided preference for Amer
lea she would doubtless turn deaf ear to
the offers Of American managers, as she is
we'll satisfied with Mr. Barrett and his ex-
celent company, but she naturally dislikes
the idea of following her chosen profession
among foreigners and on foreign soil. Miss
Hoffman will be accompanied by her mother
who will probably remain with her through
out the coming season. Both have many
warm friends in Corvallis and their depar-
ture will be matter of general regret.

ANOTHER PIONEER.

After an illness of six weeks Mrs. Ira
Hunter died at the family residence in this
city last Monday afternoon, aged 81 years,
s months, p days. Mrs. Hunters maiden
name was Martha A. Bowers. She was
born in Carter county, Tenn, July 80, 1914.
Nine years later, with her parents, she
moved to johnson county, Missouri. Re-
manning there until 1882, the family moved
to jackson county, settling in Kansas City,
where she was married three years later to
Ira Hunter, who was at that time in the
employ Of the American Fur Co. In 40
Mr.. Hunter caught the California gold
fever, and lervlng his family in Kansas City
he visited that state, returning home Christ
mas, 1851. While in California he had
formed favorable opinion of Oregon, and
the following spring started for Corvallis,
arriving here Oct %. Two-wecks later Mr..
Hunter located donation land claim about
remained until 1871, when thew moved to
Corvallis where Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter each
lived until their death. Mr.. Hunter died in
1890.
Mrs Hunter joined the Baptist church
soon after her arrival in Oregon, and always
lived a stcadfast and conscientious Christian
life. She was n person of great force of
character, but full of kindliness. Like her
husband, she was noted for her charitable
acts. Mrs. Hunter was a typical pioneer
woman, sturdy, fearless, energetic, always
ready to do her share and more of the heav-
icr duties as we'll as the hous ehold work.
She was a loving wife and devoted mother.
OF her seven children only one-Joseph-
survives her, the others having died during
their childhood.
The funeral occurred yesterday forenoon
at the family residence, Rev. Mark Noble
officiating. A large number of pioneers
and old friends of tho family followed the
remains to their last resting place in the
Locke cemetery.

is somethinu wrong. The waste is greater
than the supply and it is. only question OF
time when the end must come. In nine
cases out of ten the troablc is with the di-
gestive organs. II you can restore them to
a healthy condition you will stop the waste,
put on new flesh and cause them TO feel bet
ter in every way. The food they eat will be
digested and appropriated to the needs OF
the system, and normal appetite will ap-
pear. Consumption frequently follows a
wasting OF bodily tissue because nearly all

VIM. Parson sold the trucks to o. J. Treese
two weeks ago, claiming them rs his. An

he was the rightful and legal owner and had
given Parsons no authority to transfer them

them, and for damages. Judge Hufford
appeared for the plaintiff, and A. l.. Nc

evidence, and after deliberating two hours
returned verdict giving Emrick the trucks,

To q mind not vitiated by vag.
ariesSbutis susceptible to ligh-
and truth; to reason not poison
ed by prejudice. but is amenable
to facts and conditions, such re-
suit is not only not surprising,
but must be viewed as necessary
and inevitable. The Chicago
platform WAS the incarnation of
disorder and disaster, of riot
asd revolution.
This forced the sober conser-
vative elements to disregard par
tn affiliations, and combine for
the common defense. McKin-
icy election is the practical re-
sultof this alignment, and moral
expression Of. the sound judge
nent, and intelligent sentiment
Of the country upon the issues
involved.
Thus we have the painful spec
tacle of viewing. what was, q
great political party, lying pros
trate at the feet Of a financial fet-
ish, bruised by defeat and bleed
ing in disaster.
In this, despite the question
naturally arises. who killed Cock

plain, and p 2inS out the inevita-

Last December the hum BILE

That section being the center o

Certain free silver huggermug
gies, however. went into the
most frantic spasms of frenzy /,
and engaged in an effort, consist
ing of equal parts of lungs, luna
cy and larceny, to discredit it.
This was the element and spir-
it which shaped things at Chica-
ga. and eAolved out Of the mist
and mire the political trio Of Bry-
an, Altgeld and Tillman. This
was the crew that promised "a
campaign Of education and en-
but soon drifted in
to a doleful calamity wall and in
conoclastic howl against the fl
nancial and corporate irstitu-
tions of the country. What was
scientific problem was
made by them a political ques-
ton and the subject for the wild
est display of prejudice and par
biSan rancor. Their whole cam.
paign. from its inception to its
.ragic end on the Sd Of NoVem-
Der, was a vision. dream and
rainbow chase. They alledged
acts, assigned causes and prom
sed results which, to a sober,
'ational mind, were not only be-
vildering. but were absolutely
udicrous. The wonder is how
hey ever Unlisted SO many hon

scheme so wild, visionary and
lnsound. Nothing is more GER
ain than that they can never do

lobby and political nightmare
will take it's place among all the
nental delusions Of the past. |
IN not prepared to say that the

onfidence that under its auspi-

Does it not render more compact

West not promised time and
again to '.bring up her end of
the line'' in crusade against
the East and each time signally
! failed? Nor is this surprising
when we consider the social and
political conditions prevailing in
l the West. Her population is es..
Isentially socialistic. turbulent
and anarchical, and hence can,
not be brought under discipline
and cohesive organization. So
long as this is the case all expec-
tations of concert OF action from
the West will be disappointed.
With recent experience and past
lights before US it should be dis
missed as both visionary and alb
surd. All reasonings based up
on moral causes. social afftnities
and political evolutions point to
the section east of the Mississippi
and north Of the Ohiosand Potom-
&C rivers as the proper sections
for the South to cast her social,

That section presents an hon.
