CONE OF THE GREATEST

: "The Tornado" was given at the
Grand Orera House again last ni~ht to
a crowded house, and the audience was
not at all slow in showing its apprecia-
ton by tremendous applause. The
play is without doubt one Of the I'm
est scenic productions ever put on in
Wheeling and has made a tremendous
hit. The heary scenery is worked to
perfection and the company is fine. The
great tornado scene in the first act and
the realistic steam ! collision in the
second are great, to say nothing of the
dissecting room in the Chicago Med
icaI College. Miss Lee bcSDs the house
in a roar with her funny impersonation
of Bridget O'Rafferty," and proves her
self the best impersOnator of that class
of comedy ever seen here. The COM
pany viii be seen again this afternoon
and tonight. Seats on sale at the DoX
Office.

What other charitable entertainment

OF them was sent TO Jail. the fathers of
the other two going on their bonds for
a hearing. Chief Bennett said last
night that in all something like two
wagons loads Of stolen goods had been
recovered and returned to the owners.
but that a good deal more was still
missing, and apparently the only thing
to do was to send some of the boys to
the Reform School Among the resi-
dences recently visited by these thieves
were those Of Messrs. Lairt and Sayers,
while two pairs Of gum boots we're
stolen from a Main street shoe store,

HURRAh FOR YAMHilLl

Governor Mcconnell delivered a
speech at The Lincoln birthday eelebra-
ton in Portland, Oregon, last week.
Among other things ne said:
From the earliest settlement OF Ida
no, Oregon has furnished her full quota
to our population; has furnished more
than her share OF aspirants to the pub
lie offices. Yamhill. that grand old
county Of your state, has covered her
self with glory in that direction, having
furnished one United States senator,
two governors and two district judges to
a grateful people; other counties, the
names OF which will not mention, have
sent US generous installments OF cattle
and horse thieves; these individuals,
however, usually found prices unrsmu-
nerative and went out OF business, some
times out OF existence"
The governor evidently overlooked
two or three important matters in the
above speech. He should have told tn e
people that Il am the two governors; |
ATM the United States senator; am the
individual who caused the other fellows
to 90 out OF business, and sometimes
took a hand in putting them out OF ex-
istence." These omissions should not
be allowed to 60 uLcorrsctsd, as they
dstract from the glory OF old Yamhill
much OF the 70 mantle which always
rounds off story with the true ssnti
ments OF pioneer days.

THE Mcconnell organs are attempting
to deceive the people by asking Why
Senator Dubois did not vote on the sill
yer bill. The Associated press report
gave the vote at the time II was taken
and also stated that Senator Dubois was
paired with Senator Smith, OF New
Jersey. The Congressional Record OF
February 1 confirms this report. The
vote may be found on page 1874, also
Senator Dubois announcement, rs fol-
lows: Il again announce my pair with
the senior senator from New Jersey
Mr.. Smith. Ii he were present he would
vote nay and l should vote yea" 1t
is \ time hono,ed custom among ssna-
tors to pair with member who 10 alb
SENT thus making the majority vote the
same rs ii he were present. Because
Senator Dubois respected this custom
and acted honorably with colleague
who was unavoidably absent, the Nc
Connen organs will stoop to the use OF
falsehood, deceit and base intrigue in
order that they may deceive the people.
Senator Dubois position on the silver
question 10 SO we'll known that these
attempts to injurs him fall fiat. If the
plant tools of the Yamhill governor
can produce no good and valid argument
against Senator Dubois, they are I'M
questionably in very small business
when they attempt to place him in
false light before the people by insinuat-
ing that he Intentionally avoided vote
on the silver question. The people
know that Dubois is honest and sincere
in his efforts for silver, while McCon-
nsll's personal ambition swervss his
every action and utterancs.

wAsHiNGToN,s BIRTHDAY.

This day il generally observed
throughout the United States a. holi-
day, being the anniversary Of the birth
of George Washington.
We speak Of him - "first in war, first
in peace, and first in the hearts of his
countrymen." We are all familiar with
the heroism, patriotic devotion and mil
itary genius he displayed in our struggle
for independence, but few, perhaps, fully
realize how justly he is entitled to be
called first in peace" After the
struggle which resulted in our independ-
enos had closed, Washington, owing to
his popularity with the masses and his
command of the army, might easily
have become dictator or king. But,
unlike Napoleon. he quietly resigned
the command Of the army to retire to
civil life. Warrington in l7S3 in . cir
culsr letter to the governors OF the
several states, advised revision OF the
Articles of Confederation. The discus
sion thus begun, ended in the conven
ton OF 1877 which adopted our present
constitution. Oh this convention, Wash
inston was president and labored
earnestly for the adoption and subse-
quently for the ratification of the
constitution.
As president, he had the most Difficult,
task that has fallen to the lot OF any
one who has filed that office. Without
precedent to guide him, beset with diff
culties ON every hand, our foreign
relations unsatisfactory, threatened
insurrections in different states, hostile
Indians on the frontier, and no revenues
to defrsy the expen sss Of the govern
ment, he conducted the affairs OF the
government in such . manner that at
the expiration Of four years he wss again
chosen president by the unanimous vote
OF every electoral college. again, (l796)
he was entreated to remain in the
executive chair but this he positively
refused. In September of this year he
issued his farewell address, which, in
language, sentiment and patriotism,
was fitting and browning glory OF his
illustrious life.
He died December IA, 1899, in the
sixty eighth year OF his age. Almost
hundred years have passed since thea.
In that time We have conquered con
tinent, won it from the wilderness and
savages by priyation and desperate and
heroic fighting with nature and with
man; and this great empire that We
have won, we have also saved from
being rent asunder, though it cost us
four years OF gigantic civil war. But it
has been truly said: only great PEG
pie is capable of great civil war."
More than thirty years have elapsed
since this great struggle CLOSED and to-
day united people join in praise and
honor 10 the father OF his country"
LET all the blasts Of fame ring out thine shall
be loudest far;
Let others boast their Satellites, thou hast :the
planet star.
Thou America hast a name whose character o:
light shall meier depart;
