Successful Rendition at the Vogt Opera
Hnuae SATURDAY. NiPEf

Successful Rendition at the vost Opera
House Saturday Night.
1t was an expectant crowd that filed
the opera house last Saturday evening,
and when the lines were cast off and
the curtain rose showing the stage ar
ranged to represent the deck of
British man of war, there was an ap-
plause that fairly shook the walls of
the mammoth building. The crew of
Pinafore appeared on deck clad in
sailor garb, and every one of them
would have been a credit to the navy
of proud old England.
Care had indeed been exercised in
the cast of characters, and no better
selections could have been made than
that of John Hampshire for Sir Joseph,
Charlie Clark for Capt. Corcoran,
Miss Myrtle Michel for Ralph Rock
straw. Arthur Clark for Dick Deadeye,
John Hartnett for the boatswain, Miss
DeFOrest for Josephine, Mrs. Varney
for Hebe, and Miss Rose Michel for
Little Buttercup. These were the
leading characters, and while they did
exceptionally well they did not sur
pass in any way those who took part
as minor characters.

by either the robbers or passengers.
An absurd civiity prevailed, and when
the work had been finished the high
waymen bade their victims courteous
adieu and said they would call again
whom broke. They then backed
short distance into the brush and
secreted themselves until the car
moved on.
The car was boarded ut Meldrum
station by two masked men, one get
ting on the fro:t end and forcing the
motornan to stop the car, while
another climbed on the rear end, aad
very leisurely went through" the pas
sengers, securing N all about S3H or
$40. AS is usual in train robberies
there was tall and short who did
the work, but aside from this the rob-
bers were so we'll disguised that they
could not be identified.

countersign on the Frontier.

Web Wilder recites in his annals of
Kansas" that in 1854, when the first tide
of New England settlers began to drift
hitherward, the Missourians tied COW
to each crossing of the Missouri river.
When an immigrant arrived at the
crossing he was certain to make some
remark about the animal, and if he
said "cow" he was suffered to cross, but
if he said ''keow" he was hustled back
east and out of the country as bloody
minded abolitionist. In retaliation for
this it is said the Kansas fellows tied
4 bear OH their side of the river, and
when an immigrant crossed who called
it "bear" he was welcomed with open
arms, but the fellow who called it bar
as scooted back into Missouri as an up=
welcome slavery advocate,

Tne Body of a Man Found Floating In the
River Near Hood River

On Thursday, the 7th, the body of
man was found by some Indians float
ing in the river three miles below
Hood River, aud the indications are
that foul murder has been committed,
somewhere, but at what place or when
it is impossible to tell. From all ap-
pearances the body had been in the
river three or four weeks, il being con-
sidera bly, hecomposed. Coroner Butts
was called 10 Hood River to hold an

ing is the verdict of the corOner's jury:

witnesses sworn al this inquest find as
follows:
That the body of said deceased was
found in the Columbia river, three
miles west of Hood River, Oregon, in
Was.o County, on Thursday, October
:. 1897.
We find the deceased probably came
to his death by an act OF violence al
ministered ly some person at this
time unknown To us, and base this con-
clusion from the fact that there are
plain indications of severe wounds
upon the face and head of said de-
ceased.
This verdict is further sustained by
the fact that his pockets have been
rifled by some party cutting with
knife or some other sharp instrument.

age; five feet ten inches in height, and
weight about one hundred and eighty

OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by
Dieting a Barbarous and Useless One.
We say the old way, but really it is
a very common one at present time,
and many dyspectics and physicians as
we'll consider the first step TO take in
attempting to cure indigesting is to
diet, either by selecting certain foods
and rejecting others or to greatly di
minish tine quantity usually taken, in
other words the starvation plan is by
many supposed to be the first essen
tial.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time and again, but still tie
