UNITARIAN SOCIAL.

Only happy people were present al
Charming hall last Friday evening
judging from the pleasant faces, and
} good cheer peryading the assembly,
After partaking of a substantial sup
per, for which the ladies of Unity
church are particularly noted in sery-
ing, the audience were entertained by
an interesting program. Without the
stiff formality Of arranging seats,
each one enjoyed the company of his
or her particular friends by having
the privilege of arranging them
selves in: social groups, or as best
suited their fancy. An instrumental
duet by Mrs. e. b. Piper and Miss
Carrie Willis announced the COM
mencement of the entertainment, con-
sisting of cantata, "Grandma's
Birthday" rendered by the young
people of the church. Mrs. Willis
was the dearest of old-time grandmas,
in 'cap and 'kerchief." Her grand
children came with flowers to "crown
the grandma queen" and with song
and recitations make her Slst birth
day merry one. Vocal duets by the |
Misses Connie Holland and Carrie |
Hurst, Carrie Willis and George |
Davenport. Miss Davenport has |
beautiful alto voice, distinctly heard |
in these choruses of Ia voices. Stella
Hurst reclted Longfellow's "Chil-
dren's Hour" in pleasing voice
and manner. The solos by little
Katie and Emma Godfrey, the latter
the youngest Of the group, was true
to nature in her "Sleepy Song"
Gains Ford sustained his part we'll as
also In piano solo.
The last number of the program was
well rendered, and exceedingly ap-
preclated by the audience, a guitar
quartette, by the Misses Sperry and
Haas, Messrs. Thiel and Murphy, who
were obliged to respond twice to
hearty encore. The ladies of the
Unity church say, nothing preventing ,
The next monthly entertainment will i
be the finest ever given by a local
organization in the city. BE prepared

"A MODEL RoAD.-Work was begun
today on new road to be built by tho
state between the state reform school,
and asylum cottage farms, out of a
$4,000 appropriation by the last legis,
nature The road is TO be built with
convict labor and will be the first
piece OF state road built in Oregon,
Jesse Macy and Archie Mason will be
IN charge OF the work. With unlim.
tied laborers and plenty of money to
oversee the construction there is NO
reason why the state should not build
amodel piece of good road. There is
rock crusher and plenty of good ma
terlal, including drain tile, TO make a
piece OF road that should prove an OBJ
Ject lesson for road building to all the
people of Oregon. 1t is hard TO see
why the state should not first build n
road to the reform school. That
would be far more useful.

Indoor Baseball.

The Salem militia boys played the
Albany militia boys a match game OF
baseball at the latter place Saturday
night, in which there was unusual in
terest, and, of course, the Salem boys
came out ahead. The score stood 10
to IA at the close, but by far the
greatest point in favor of the Salem
club was the fact that they shut out
their opponents on the last five in
nings. On the fourth inning the
score stood II to in favor of Albany,
and only remarkable playing won the
game. On the last half of the ninth
the Albany club had two men on bases
and no one out. When the Salem
battery got in It's fine work. A liner
was hit to Frank Tichenor who put IL
TO second making fine double play.
The next out was the fourth man up
who hit foul to VIII Bachelor, and
that ended the game with as big a
crowd at the opera house and as much
applause and enthusiasm as at the
Republican convention. Sympathy
was with the home team but the finish
won the Salem boys the most generous
appreciation of all present.

lie WAS HERE,
The Crime OF "Nobe', Sheppard Mt ST.
Louis and Ills Escape Reeniled-Was n

The Crime of HNoben Sheppard Mt ST.
Louis nnd Ills Escape Recniied-wns n
Double Murderer.
"Nobe"g Shepard, the murderer. who
escaped a few days ago from the ST.
Louis jail, will be remembered here as
a glassworker. He resided in Bridge
port and worked at the bottle factory
asa glass blower. His father formerly
was manager OF the Bridgeport glass
works. Nobe worked there n year or So,
after his father left.
Itaseems his father! and brother are
now working at Fort Wayne, Ind, in
the green glass trade.
Shepard's crime was the killing OF q
man and his wife, who lived In d house
boat on the Mississippi ut st. Louis.
Shepard Killed the man and when his
wife interfered, killed her, also, in his
drunken rage. He dragged the mans
body from the house boat to the river
bank and buried-him In a grave In the
sand. The grave was discovered by
the authorities by the queer antics OF
the murdered mans faithful dog, which
would run from the boat up the shore
and stop and Whine over his masters
body.
1t seems Shepard confessed his horrl-
BILE crime and would joke and laugh
