last night after an absence of five
months in the east. While away Miss
Soyey visited with friends ia Wash
ington, y. G.. GreenviIle, s. c.. Atlanta,
ST. Louis and st. Joseph, Mo. The
eastern trip WAS pleasant one, but
several exciting Incidents occurred on
Miss Soyeys homeward trip. She was
on street car at ST. Louis when the
cyclone struck the exposition city. The
car was not In the path of the twister
and the occupants escaped without in
jury. The Northern Pacific train on
which Miss Sovey came from Billings
10 Seattle had a miraculous escape
from destruction in Montana. The last
car Of the train had scarcely left a
bridge which spanned "a deep chasm
when the bridge collapsed. Had the
train been half minute later the pas
sengers would have been plunged into
eternity. Senator Clark OF Montana
left a seat across the aisle from Miss
Sovey at MIssoula a moment or two
before an attempt was made upon his
life. After leaving Montana the trip
was without incident. Miss Soyey
states that there is now greatly in
creased interest In the worlds fair, and
that the exposition is attracting hun
dreds Of thousands OF people. Like all
oregonlans who have travelled over the
country, Miss Sovey vows there is no
other place so genuinely delightful as
her native state. and she is glad to be
home again.

AS will be noticed by the notice ap-
pearing elsewhere In The Astorian. the
meeting of the county board of equal
izatlon VIII be held at the office OF
County Clerk Clinton. and not at the
county court ROOM as was stipulated
In the original notice. Members of the
board are anxious that property own
ers shall take cognizance OF the fact
that there will be no exemptions this
year, because OF the action OF the last
legislature. This means that some
hundreds Of people win be taxed who
have not heretofore been leved against.
There is bound to be much complaint
In consequence, and those who have
protests to file must do so before the
board of equalization.

MAHARA'S BIG M1NSTRELS.
Big Attraction At Langdon Opera House
Friday Night Next Week.

Friday evening next week Mahara's
Big Minstrels appear at the Langdon
Opera House and those who want
an opportunity to laugh in the good,
old fashioned, genuine, side-splitting,
hearty style will be given a rare treat,
for it has been some time since a genu-
inc minstrel show has played here.
The performance will be divided into
the two customary two parts: the first
consisting of routine of regular min
strel work, and the second of selected
speciality acts only equaled by those
gotten off over the Orpheum stage.
Among the popular negro melodies that
will be rendered are "Honey, Will You
Miss Me When I'm Gone," "Castle on
the Nile" "Mirandas Ball." "No Use
For Sleep" "Game of Eyes elf That's
the Landlord, Amt Home" and "Just
Plain Folks"
In the. second act j. A. English, the
marvellous hoop controller, gives a per-
formance, the like of which has never
been seen here before. His speciality is
nothing short of wonderful. He had
absolute control of his large number of
whirling hoops at all times The final
presentation of the sextette is only
second to the Floradora contingent, and
its dashing WORK will be we'll received.
The sale of seats fer this attraction
will be placed on sale Monday forenoon
at the Burke & Co. drug store.
