Homer Davenport Coming.

Homer Davenport, the great
cartoonist, will visit Corvallis on
Saturday next and will speak
about t'The Power of a Cartoon"
at the College Armory. Mr.. Dav-
export, whose magnificent work
as a cartoonist is known all over
America, is splendid story-teller,
and his lecture Is made up of a
choice selection Of storiettes, ad-
ventures, anecdotes, and expert.
ences of all kinds. There is not
a moment, that during his dis
course, is not full of absorbing
interest. He tells his stories cray
on IN hand, and illustrates them
with rapid cartoon drawings.
Nothing more concise has ever
been said of him than the remark
of Ex-Governor Bob Taylor:
"Davenport is a volume of wit
and humor, and each cartoon tells
an eloquent story" Although the
trend of his lecture is of humor-
Gus vein, some of his stories have
their pathetic side; the story OF
the "Widowed Duck" for instance,
but witty or pathetic, they are
told as only Davenport, with his
magnetic personality, can tell
them, and illustrated with draw
ings that papers have paid him
fabulous sums to obtain. From
a ne'er do we'll in the little West
ern town of Silverton, he has in
a few years risen to the pinnacle
of success. and is sought after at
the present moment by halt the
newspapers in New York, offer
ing the highest price ever paid to
a cartoonist, but before ''going
into harness again." Mr.. Daven-
port intends touring to the other
coast, getting fresh ideas, and
recuperating after a long spell of
hard work. The tickets for his
lecture are now on sale at Graham
! & Wortham's.

SaIem's Comment.

Last November the Wiedeman
Company played at the Grand
Opera House in Salem, and the
following is what the Statesman
had to say of the show:
"Wiedeman's big show. an at
traction new to Salem theatre
goers opened FIVE nights en-
gagement at the Grand last night
to one of the largest houses ever
in the theatre. The cheap prices
led many to think the company
was of an inferior order and at
the close of the performance a
more agreeably surprised audi
ence never left the house. Moth
ing but words of praise can be
said of both play and players.
"Down in Egypt" is a play built
somewhat on the lines of :Old
Kentucky" Tom Wiedeman as
Squire Greyson would himself be
a capital actor. Nellie Wiede-
man, as May Musler showed her
self to be pleasing and pains
taking little actress. The sup
porting company was excellent n
every particular. Between acts
Nellie Wiedeman introduced an
electric dance equal to the famous
Louie Fuller. Taken as a whole
the performance was far ahead oi
any popular priced company that
has ever played in our city, and
the house should be packed al
every performance" " The same
company will appear in Corvallis
all of next week opening Mon.
day night with ''Down in Egypt, y
as they did in Salem last fall.

Thrli''' 2 Account Of the Blow.
ing up Of Seven Hundred
JaEs.

Chefoo, Sept. 81 80 q. NJ
A Japanese column, numbering
approximately 700 men. while
marching along at night on a
road in the valley between Long
Hill and Division Hill met a
frightful disaster through the
explosion Of an electric land
mine, Sept. l. The mine was
carefully laid by the Russians
three weeks age. 1t covered
nearly nearly a mile of available
marching space. The explosive
was placed at the BOTTOM. Rocks
were placed next, and on top of
these clay was packed GO care
fully that the ground gave the
impression of not having been
disturbed. The indications OF
Japa pese activity in this vicinity
put the Russians on guard.
Near midnight the outposts
rushed in and reported that the
Japanese were approaching.
The Russians withheld their fire
for some time. Suddenly they
threw a searchlight up the val.
ley. The Japanese opened with
| a rifle fire. The Russians wait.
ed until apparently the whole
japanese column was in the dan.
ger zone. Then the mine was
exploded. The force of the ex.
plosion knocked number OF
Russians down, and the sight o.
Japanese rifles, water bottles,
legs and arms hurling through
the lighted space made by the
searchlight was an awful spec.
tacle. Some rocks landed inside
the Russian lines. There was
one appalling moment, during
which the garrison itself was
stunned, then deathlike silence
The searchlight coldly lighted
up the road and hillsides strewn
with dead.
