The Legislature Adiourns.


The Benson house adjourned sine die
at l o'elock yesterday and the members
are leaving for home. The joint con.
ventlon also adjourned sine die at noon.
Siinon claimed that the senate could
not adjourn without day, and ruled
that the senate stand adjourned until
to-day at 10 O'CLOCK. Many Benson
senators are going home. Simon says
those who are left will meet from day
to day, az will also the the Davis house.
They will try 10 get favorable recogni-
tion from the court, then order the SER
geaut at arms to bring the absent
members back. A test case will be
made IN the courts within the next
few days. 1t is thus all open question
whether there will yet be session Of
the legislature, a senator elected, and
remedial laws enacted. II the courts
decide III favor Of the Benson house
the governor may call special session
Of the legislature,
The fact that 45 days have been
wasted was considered sufficien: proof
thst no agreement could be reached,
and 1t was folly 10 wait any longer. II
Is quite likely that the adjournment
will stand.

Home Talent Triumphant.

The w. r. G, entertainment given
Tuesday evening was "howling sue
cessn-in fact it was great success,
and tine "Sour Kraut Brigade did
some comical bowling, consequently
we feel justified in calling 1t "howl-
ing success
Quite large audience was present,
the neat SUM Of S3S being realized from
the sale Of tickets. However, If money
was not so hard to obtain nowadays
the ladies would have had much
larger house, which they really merit
I'd, as they worked hard to make the
drama as pleasing as possible, and also
their expenses were quite heavy.
Miss Fannie Hughes impersonated
the heroine In such realistic manner
that she was heartily applauded, Miss
Halle Baker, as Kate Spencer, is also
entitled to much credit for her splen-
did acting.
Lyle Baker had difficult task-the
impersonati0n of the hero, Julian
Farnsworth, and his disguises. This
neeessitated the acting Of four different
cbaracters--a northern gentleman, a
Dutch eorporsl, Dutch justice Of the
peace, aud an Irish wonan-but Lyle
has such talent as an actor that Web
ster's Unabridged contains but few
words that would express the great de-
light of the audience while he was on
the stage.
However, George Randle was close
second in his character of negro. If
George can be beaten in acting the
part Of a comtcal darkey, 1t is only by
tirst-ciass professional actor. We
have never seen his equal among anna
teurs.
Henry Smith was the heavy villain
"a part that requires much al ility to
do justice to the character But Henry
has that ability and can be very viii
lainous OH the stage.
Space forbids individual mention Of
the several other actors, but each and
every one did we'll

furnished music for the occasion,
The costumes were very complete, as
promised. Bv the way. it will be
long time before the costumes worn by
the "S0ur Kraut Brigade" will he for

In closing, 1t is but due to Mrs. g,
w. Cruson to state that much of the
success was by reason Of her jealous
efforts in making preparations for the
drama

Improve Our Schools.
LEBANON, Or, Feb. "A, 1897.

LEBANON, Or.i fen. ~, 1881
EDITOR EXPRESS;
AS the time Of our annual school
meeting is near at hand, when ques-
tions concerning our public school Will
no doubt be discussed, desire to brief
ly mention one or two points.
| believe we now have good school,
worthy Of the support Of us all. Ger
tainly our public schools should receive
our attention, for we look to them, and
to them only, for the education of the
masses. Our public school should be
as good as any III the county-or for
that matter as good as any in the state.
In order to have such school we must
keep abreast with the times and do
F, high school work,
Surely We cannot afford to stop with
the Sth grade, thereby deprlviug our
children of common school educa-
tion. Children have been turned away
from our put lie school in former years
when they had gone through the .. ).
history. Poor children-turned out
on the commons without an education
and without money to secure 1t.
Surely our public school should fit
our boys and girls with sufficient text
book knowledge to enable them to
secure third grade certificate, or at
least to enter some college If they so
desired. To confino them down to the
Sth grade would compel them to at
tead the preparatory department of
some college from two to four years to
receive the education that they should
receive in our public school.
There is another matter that desire
to speak of, and one that will, no
doubt, be discussed in our coming
school meeting, and that is in regard
to school buildings AS every one
knows, the present building does not
afford accommodation for all. | believe
our children should all be in one school
building. Nesrly all school houses
built now in towns Of this size, smaller
and larger, contain eight rooms and
afford accommodations for from 400 to
900 children. By having the school
all togesher more interest is taken in
the school and the children have more
and better advantages, thereby keep
| ing down jealousies that would arise
from two or three schools or different
buildings.
/ understand we are now paying
sixteen dollars month for the rent of
two rooms. Why not pay that sum
towards a building of our own, and
give our children an education that we
may all be proud OFF X.

Last Monday evening a large audi
ence was present at the Baptist church
to listen to Rev. Lindsey's address on
"Maccabeeism." He charmed his au-
dience by his eloquent argument con-
eerning the benefits of the order. He
took his text from the bible, and de-
clared that it was the duty of every
man to take out insurance so as to
protect his family in time Of need. We
are Informed that there have been sey-
eral applications for membership as a
result Of the meeting. We do not be-
long to this order, but judging from
the interest displayed by the members
and the fact that the order pays up Its
obligations promptly, it is good one.

Good Paste,

AS farmers wives and residents of
small villages are usually obliged to
40 their own paper hanging it. is Il
great advantage to know how to make
paste that is warranted to stick to any
wall, no matter how often it has been
white-washed. No sizing is necessary.
First, stir your flour smooth with
cold water 10 about the consistency of
starch. then put it over the fire to boil,
stirring continually. When il thick
ems, add more cold water and continue
boiling and stirring. Repeat the pro-
cess three times. when it will be sufi-
GENTLY cooked. Have Il generous
handful OF washing soda dissolved in
Il little hot water. and add this to the
paste, thoroughly stirring it. This
puriiles the walls as well as securely
fastening the paper.
Every housekeeper knows how much
worse than useless it is to have brok-
en- clustering patched A better way
Is to take some strong white cotton
cloth and use some paste made ac-
cording to the above directions. and
you have patch that will last. IL
one thickness of the cloth is not sufn-
Client, more can be used. Those who
nave used this method have found per-
feet satisfaction in mending walls in
this way, where the mason could not
possibly get his patches to remain for
six months

Deserted and alone, with not Il crust
