A Talented Theatrical Troupe.

The people of this city and vicinity
were especially favored this week by
the appearance, at the opera house, of
the Weber Dramatic company, who
have played three nights here. They
bad large audiences, as it was meet
they should, this company being the
best one that has ever been in our city.
We do not believe there is a single
person who witnessed the perform
ances that speaks an unfavorable word
for the ladies and gentlemen flor ladies
aud gentlemen they are in the fullest
sense Of the word) of the troupe; and
praises for their splendid acting are
heard on all sides. Their plays are
all written for the Weber Dramatic
company alone, and therefore all may
be assured that every one of the
plays will be one they have never seen
before. Their band furnishes superb
music. In fact, too many kind words
cannot be said for this company. Mr..
Fred Moore, press representative, is to
be highly commended for his courteous
treatment of all newspaper men.

There are now five cases of diptheria.
Two children have already died with
it, and one other is expected to die.
We do not wish to alarm or excite our
people, but we would not do our duty
if we did not warn them to use every
precaution. Let parents keep their
children closely at home. Make liberal
use Of disinfectants about the prem
ises. Do not attend public gatherings.
With proper precaution, the dread dis
ease can be stamped out. The council
should prohibit all public gatherings.
Churches and schools should be closed.
A strict quarantine is necessary. This
is a matter Of life and death TO our chill
dfen. The public safety demands un-
usual measures aud the public will
support tie council. The doctors agree
that the disease can be checked readily
now with proper care, but that neg
lect may cause it to spread.

apoplexy, resulting from the bursting
of blood vessel in her head from the
strain Of a sudden and violent sickness,
while on the porch at the rear Of the
house, and died in very few minutes.
Mrs. Hill was woman most highly
respected by all who knew her, and
her loss will be deeply felt in the COM
munity. Her maiden name was Mary
L. Pennington, and she was the
daughter Of Hon. s. M. Pennington,
of Albany, and was born near Leba-
non, Dec. II, 1850, residing here from
her birth. In 1870 she was united in
marriage to DIR. j. l.. Hill. Three

Legal Holidays.

Not very much attention is paid to
legal holidays In Oregon; buta knowl-
edge on the subject will do 10 harm.
Here is list from the statute itself:
"rhe following days shall he and
hereby are declared legal holidays in
this state, viz; Every Sunday, the
first day of January, the 22nd day of
February, the 90th day of May, the
4th day of July, the 10Th day of De-
eember and every day on which an
election is held throughout the state,
and every day appointed by the presi-
dent Of the United States, or by the
governor of this state for a pabtic fast,
or thanksgiving or holiday. Negotiable
instruments payable Oh a holiday be-
come due on the next business day."
Then on February 81, 1887, section
was added to the statute which added
Labor day: ''The first Saturday Of
June Of each and every year shall be
and the same is hereby set apart and
declared to be public holiday, under
the name and title Of labor day."

Most people have heard of the hang
ing gardens of Babylon, the modern
roof gardens, and the gardens on float
ing islands in which vegetables used to
be grown for the citizens of ancient
Mexico; but probably few have heard
of a garden on board ship, with farm
yard attachment. The splendid ship
Mowhan, now in port, and the largest
vessel which has ever been here, had
such an arrangement on board during
her trip TO Oregon. On leaving Bel
fast for Portland, she took on board as
ballast 1000 tons of Irish soil, which,
when leveled off, made quite stretch
of ground, and, as the soil of Iteland is
proverbially fertile, the ships compa-
ny proceeded to put it to good use by
planting stock of garden truck in it
-cabbages, leeks, turnips, radishes,
lettuce, peas, beans, etc. The seeds
came upall right, and the plants flour
ished finely, and, when the ship was
in the tropics, grew with great rapid
ity.
AS they progressed toward the Horn,
and the weather grew cooler, things
came to perfection rapidly. The crew
and ships apprentices .e.inused them
selves by wedding and cultivating the
plants, and the captain and officers
took regular walks in the garden daily,
and all had green vegetables to their
hearts content. As they came around
the Horn, the garden was re.planted,
and by the time they reached the equa-
tor everything was a-bloom and all
hands feasted on fresh vegetables daily.
The only drawbacks to the garden were
the weeds, which grew so rapidly that
they could hardly be kept down, and
the drove of pigs, which were kept in
the farmyard attachment, and which,
ON several occasions, when the ship
was bucking into nor'easter and roll
ing heavily, broke out of the bounds
and made serious inroads on the gar
den. 1t is a serious matter to call all
hands on board ship, and is only done
in emergencies; but, when the pigs got
into the garden there was more pound
ing or forecastle scuttles with hand
spikes and blowing OF boatswain's
whistles than if the ship had been laid
aback by typhoon or all the masts
had been carried away, and every
sleeper was aroused to help get the pigs
out of the garden.
The last pig was killed and served
up with green vegetables just before
the Mowhan entered the Columbia,
On the arrival of the Mowhan here,
the Irish soil was discharged on the
elevator company's dock and piled up
neatly so that any exiled patriot who
desires d bit of the "ould sodp can be
accommodated, The pile will doubt
less be covered with shamrocks in the
spring, and will furnish boutonnieres
for d whole Et, pattiek's day pro.

Whereas: The honor, integrity and
safety Of the United States demand the
assertion, at all times, OF the Monroe
Doctrine and its maintenance where
ever the occasion demands, peaceably
II possible and by force of arms If
necessary.
Whereas, the attempted confiscation
by Great Britain, of territory long held
and claimed by right by Venezuela,
n sister American Republic, is an occa-
sion that imperatively demands the
assertion and maintenance of the Mon-
roe Doctrine.
Whereas: The president of the Juit-
ed States, in his recent message to con-
gress has informed that body and
the people at large of Great Britain's
refusal to peaceaply settle the disputed
boundary line between her maiesty's
possesslons in America and the terri
tory of Venezuela, and has declared his
beleifin, and adherence TO said doc

the honor ofAmerica by war If necessa-
ry.
Whereas; Congress has unanimously
approved and are ready to uphold the
position taken by the president. Now

The plutocratic press Is still pouring
hot shot into Senator Tillman because of
his recent speech in the senate, but all the
same it is significant fact that this SEN
ator's mail is now larger than that of any
other man in public life. The plain peo-
pie of the country have sent him over
10000 letters of congratulation. Nearly
every letter asks for copy Of tho speech,
many Of them contain money to pay for
the speeches, and applications are daily
received for special orders running up
into the thousands. Senator Tlllman
makes strong point in answering his
critics. He says: eff my language was
parliamentary and indecent, why did
no senator call me to order IL the charges
we're untrue; why has no senator an
swered them! And why do my newspaper
critics not even attempt to answer thems

THE PASSING OF REED.

Gov. Morton's famous "barl" is begin
ming to cut no small figure in the presi-
Dental campaign. Even Reeds iron
hand can't stay Morton's progress and it
appears now that the real fight in the st.
Louis convention will be between Morton
and Mckinley, with Allison as the leading
dark horse in the back ground. This
view of the subiect--and it is an eastern
view shows a remarkable loss of pres
tige on Reeds part that has few equals in
political history. When congress opened
in December Reed was the presidential
choice of two-thirds of the Republicans
of the country. Comparatively speaking,
his following to-day is but corporaPs
guard and that is chiefly confined to the
New England states. But Reed deserves
it all, not only because of his bad be-
havior toward western interests but for
his other premeditated blunders. He
saddled upon his party the Endorsement
of the bond issue outrage, and followed it
up with make-believe tariff bill which
was framed for the east and has served to
disgust every true protectionist the coun-
try over, particularly western Republi'
cans interested in wool production. Reed
is in no sense statesman. He is po-
litical boss of the worst stripe. We wit.
ness his passing with NO small degree OF
satisfaction.

The best way to get there is over the
Santa Fe Route. The fabulously rich
gold mining district of Cripple Greek,
Colo, is attracting hundreds of people.
By spring the rush bids fair to be euor-
nous. That there is an abundance of
gold there is demonstrated beyond doubt.
Fortunes are being rapidly made.
To reach Cripple Greek, take the Santa
