cense, when life was gay as the poets
rhyme and the heart was light as the
elder down. At any rate, as the bridal
procession filed out and away there was
a wistful expression on the faces OF
those who remained, and rnbroken
silence gave consent to their various
ruminations.
The remains of Clarence V. Lane OF
Antelope, who died Feb. Sd, were
brought to this city last evening and
will be inferred in the Odd Fellows
cemetery tomorrow Thursday at ?
o'clock. Deceased was 80 years old,
born at New Brunswick, Canada, Janu-
airy I'd, 1857. He has been IN Eastern
Oregon since 1873 and was well-known
parsonage of Wasco county. Deceased
leaves wife to mourn his loss. The
funeral will take place from Crandall &

"Uncle Josh spruceby."

The "Uncle Josh Spruceby'' troupe
was greeted with full house last even
ing, and they deserved it. The play
is one of a species purely American
which, well rendered, never fails of ap-
probation. Though the plot is neither
deep nor intricate, it serves admirably
to Introduce several thrilling situations,
as well as pleasing novelties, often ap-
preaching the vaudeville.
Mr.. Burt Hodkins in the title role
well portrays the unsophistocated Yam
kee farmer, both in his home surround
lngs and his confident, yet timid, entry
into urban life. He avoids a tendency
of the times to vuIgarize the part, or
'tplay to the galleries." and gives a
natural, truthful counterpart of his
adopted character.
The part of "Luke Fay" by Frank
Holstead, who leads "Uncle Josh's'
daughter away from her rural home to
the city, was well sustained. "Hank
Mont" city sport, was cleverly taken
by Maurice Haynes, who invested the
character with sprightliness and dash
seldom equalled, and makes capital
foil Tor the william.
Chief among the specialties is the
skirt dancing of Miss Pearl Height, most
gracefully executed, and the marvellous
gun and baton spinning of Major
O'Laughlin. AS to the latter the claim
is probably truthfully made that he is
unexcelled IN the world.
The sawmil scene easily takes first
place among the scenic effects and con-
etitutes the most thrilling climax of the
play. An innocent and abused young
wife is thrown before the real whirling
saw that is really saving real boards,
and before she is rescued is SO near the
rasping teeth of the saw that the audi
ence involuntarily shudders as they
witness seemingly impending and awful
death. Very strong in this act is Frank
Holstead, whose glaring eyes, CHASTITY
contortions of countenance and fendish
malignity so we'll portray the supposable
conduct of multi murderer.
AS whole the cast is we'll balanced,
and supplemented by fine orchestra oi
nine pieces, is well worthy of patronage
in any center of population.

Chautauqua Circle.

The Chautauqua Circle met with Mrs.
w. II. Biggs last evening, and were
most pleasantly and proftably enter
tanned. After quotations from Gold
smith the lesson, "Initial Studies in
American Letters" by Henry A. Beers,
professor of English Literature in Yale
University, and "The Growth of the
American Nation," by II. P. Judson,
professor of Political Science in the Uni
versity OF Chicago, was led by Mrs.
Shackelford and Mrs. Crandall. Ques-
tions on "Current Events and "Ameri-
can Literature" followed. The process
of striking fire, as used by the civilized
and uncivilized nations of the earth, and
the evolution of the Lucifer match, was
presented by Miss Lang. A book review
of Goldsmlth's "Vicar of Wakefield" by
Mrs. Crandall, and an extensive paper
on "Japan" by Mrs. Myers followed.
Also short history of the Red Cross
work and Clara Barton by Mrs. S.
French and Mrs. DonneI.
Several musical selections by Mrs.
Eshelman and Miss Deming added
greatly to the pleasure of the evening,
especially Mrs. Eshelman's rendition ot
Ryder's transcription of "The Old
Oaken Bucket" with variations.

The funeral of VIM. DeWolf occurred
this afternoon from the residence and
was largely attended. The Odd Fellows
officiated at the burial.
The high wind which blew last night
tumbled dawn brick chimney of the
residence occupied by Rev. L. II. Hazel,
which awakened the family. The Chin
ney was about six feet high and the fall
was sufficient to jar the house.
A lady was heard tc remark last even
ing that she did not like the ''Uncle
Josh" show at all; it was not interest

to close her eyes she was so much afraid
the old man would be too slow to rescue
the lady moving into the saw teeth.
The wife of well-known citizen was
bathing her feet at the unearthly hour
the brick wall fell this morning, and
hearing the crash, supposed it was fire.
Prompt to the rescue, she withdrew her
feet, grasped the pail, and threw the
contents in the stove she was sitting by.

The joys of welded bliss were entered
into today by Mr.. DeForst Baker and
Miss Emma Eastman, both of Tygh

A EALLlNG WALL.
Peril of MIR. and Mrs. Hogan---Theil
Properly Destroyed.

Mr.. J. J. Hogan and wife were rudely
awakened from slumber about 2:3O
O'Clock this morning by being suddenly
thrown from their bed, the floor of their
room sinking three feet in an instant,
while the noise of the falling walls of
their domicile, the crash of breaking
dishes, the cresking, twisting and turn
ing of demolished woodwork, furniture
and apparatus apprised them that some
thing terrible out of the ordinary had
happened.
Such was indeed the fact. The
skeleton brick wall adjoining their house
had given way with the violence of the
wind, which at that hour amounted al
most to a gale, and the solid mass of
mortar and brick found little resistance
in its earthward descent by the COM
paratively feeble barrier interposed by
Mr.. Hogan's structure. The forward
part of the dwelling fell PROSTATE to the
ground, completely destroying all the
valuable Photographic apparatus, plates
and fixtures. The remainder of the
house, though standing, is destroyed as
tristed, broken and torn, till it is fit
only for kindling wood.
A reporter visited Mr.. Hogan's de-
molished premises this morning and
found things in sorry plight. Here
was chaos exemplified. Broken crockery
and bric-a-brac, valuable pictures and
kitchen furniture, torn carpets and
splintered boards, fireless stove, broken
windows, all contributed to an extreme
cheerlessness which seemed greater, if
possible, by contrast with what it had
been moment before. THE CHRONICLE
imam found Mr.. Hogan in much more
Ihopeful state of mind than might be sup
posed. While he deplored the loss OF
| his goods, it was lost to sight by his
thankfulness to Providence that himself
and wife were not instantly killed.
Mrs. Hogan alone sustained some slight
bruises by her experience, but life and
limbs are spared them, and feeling of
gratitude was uppermost in their minds
that it was no worse. He expressed a
determination to re-engage in the same
business, but will be compelled to pur-
chase everything again from the fcunda-
ton up.
The wall which fell is the remains OF
a brick store owned by Mr.. Sherar, for
Emerly Mr.. E. P. itzGerald's, which
perished in the great Dalles fire of 1892,
, and recalls the death of Michael Dia-
lmond, who perished by fire at the time
lin the same building.

Livingston, Feb. 4.-The case of petit
larceny against Henry Koehler was
called in Judge Roses court to-day
and the defendant plead guilty and
was sentenced to co days in jail and
TO pay a fine of $780, This case is only
preliminary to others which will be
brought against him later for the more
serious onense of grand larceny. Koch
lers plea of guilty to the lesser Of
Tense paves the way for his most GER
tain conviction of grand larceny, and
when his 60-day term in the Livings-
ton Jail expires he will find himself in
direct line of promotion to Deer Lodge.
His career as a criminal may be said
to be both versatile and unique. Mask
ing under the guise of an honest work
ing man, he was enabled to most thor
oughly thwart suspicion and at the
same time familiarize himself with
places in town which II would he easy
to enter and burglarize. As a drayman
and deliverer Of coal. he day by day
carefully laid out his route for his
evening diversion, and when the shades
of night approached set out upon his
rounds. And he dealt out misery with
most impartil hand. The afiluent man
of business, the widow and the orphan,
the learned disciple Of Blackstone. the
struggling laboring man, the man of
ministerial garb and the dispenser of
alcoholic bevera ges. all fell victims TO
his thieving propensities.
But IL is not likely that he was
entirely unaided in his operations; he
