Mrs. Hail. who left here three weeks ago
for California in company with Mr.. Moss
man, writes home that the train was at
tackled by robbers while passing through
the west. Two men climbed on to the
engine and covered the engineer with their
revolvers and obliged him to take some
dynamite and place under the express car

robbers could intercept him had shot one
of them dead. The other escaped but was

well.
The first entertainment of the lecture
course will be given at Sewers hall next
Thursday evening, when the Salem Cadet
Band, assisted by Master Henry Donlan,
the wonderful boy soprano, will appear.
This will be the finest thing in the musical
line the people of this vicinity have ever
had the privilege Of listening to and all
lovers of music should plan to attend. The
band is 8 large one and has received the
most flattering notices from all the places
where it has appeared. The singing of the
boy soprano in itself will be worth the price
of admission This is the only musical
entertainment in the course and the house
will doubtless be crowded. The seats are
on sale at the drug store and all who de-
sire to attend should get them early.

Miss Virginia Dox gave two very inter
esting addresses at the Cong. church yes
day. In the morning she gave a short
sketch of the life OF Marcus Whitman,
showing the wonderful work which he did
for the northwest and for the nation in
saving that vast territory for the United
States when it was nearly in the + ossession
OF England. In the evening Miss Dox
told very touching story of her expert
ences in mission work in small town in
Idaho. Itseems almost incredible that one
SO frall in appearance could have accom-
plished SO much for the Master in the
roug hest parts of the land. A congrega-
ton of nearly 300 listened with marked at
tention to the evening address. Miss Dox
is financial agent for Whitman College.
