Evening.

Miss Marion George is rapidly
coming to the front of musical geni-
uses. Although she can command
the highest salary of any lady violin
player on the stage, and all the big
musical centers, New York, Boston.
New Orleans, San Francisco, and in
fact everywhere she has played the
press and public have been unani-
nous in declaring that her power on
this beautiful instrument His marvel
Gus. Only short while ago in
Salt Lake City when the big Nor
mon convention was on, she played
in the famous tabernacle, which
held $1,000 people, and time after
time she had to respond to the tu-
multous applause of the delighted
throng. She can take you back to
your childhood by her beautiful
rendering of simple old time airs,
or she can charm the heart of mu-
sical enthusiasts by her skilful play
ing of classical pieces. She is the
happy possessor of many beautiful
gowns and diamonds, but her chief
treasure is her famous violin, which
cost over s., 500. She will play at
the Opera house ON May II and if
you wish to hear the violin played
by the only legitimate successor to
Madam Norma Naruda, you should

The Four Georges Company
scored hit last night in their two
sketches and their specialties. GA
Tip on the Suburban" is very
laughable and although played here
only a short time ago, was thorough
ly enjoyed by the big audience
which greeted this little company
with the big show.
Katherine is indeed a boneless
wonder. Her contortion act is the
best that has ever been seen here.
Agnes Georges singing was also a
feature of the speciality. Miss Mar
ion George the violin virtuoso, pro-
we'd herself to be a master with the
instrument. Besides her first piece,
a classic she played two always
popular pieces, ''My Old Kentucky
Home" and "The Last Rose OF
Summer" which alone were worth
the price of admission.
Robert w. Lawrence is a come
dian of high order. His work in
the two sketches was very good
and his Hebrew monologue excel
lent. Mr.. Lawrence also does a
singing stunt that will bring him the
"cush."
The George family consisting of
FIVE people ended up the speciality
part of the program with solos and
duets on brass instruments, ending
UP with catchy march in which
all took part. Little Ellis George
is a crackerjack with a cornet.
The last spasm as the program
called it, was, an Irishman's Pipe
Dream, comiedetta in one act tha
would drive away any case O

MONUMENT FOR HIS GRAVE.
County will pay. Half-Also Funeral
Expenses-The Late James Dunn.

In recognition of his last service
to his fellow citizens, Benton coun-
ty takes the initiative for placing
monument at the grave of the late
James Dunn, and proposes that all
expenses incident to his last sick
ness and death, be paid from public
funds. The county court Thurs
day made an order offering to pay
tor one-half of a $Ioo monument
and an equal proportion of the
funeral expenses. provided the city
of Corvallis will pay the remainder.
The cost OF medical attendance and
burial tees, includes an undertak-
ers bill of about SS3, the fee of the
surgeons for the operation and sub
sequent attendance, $Ioo, and
other minor bills, that aggregate,
S2I4. so. The monument at a pro
posed cost of 500, raises the ex-
pense to 1914. so. It is considered
certain that the council will respond
with equal promptness to the de-
mand of large section of the citi-
zens, who urge it, and at the
first meeting Of the council make
! an appropriation covering the offer
of the county. Several council
men, who have been interviewed
on the subject, have declared them
selves favorable to the plan, and il
is expected that action will be tax
en- to complete the plan when the
councilmen come together in q
regular meeting Monday night
i Ever since the appearance in the
TIMES of a portion of sermon il
which Rev. Carrick suggested thai
the community should erect mon
ument over the grave of Mr.. Dunr
the subject has been freely discuss
ed on the streets, and so far a.
heard without the expression of {
single unfavorable opinion. In fact
sentiment seems unanimous TO,
the proposed action as fitting
recognition of Mr.. Dunn's las
service to the community in which
he was so long citizen.
