"Jane." a Bio Comedy Hit.


One of the best comedy bills Of the
season was presented by Ed Redmond
and his merry players last evening,
ann to the largest house the Keylor
Grand has yet held. It seemed as If
the entire population of the city were
determined to see Jane" and to
laugh at the many clever situations to
be found in this jolly farce.
Mr.. Redmond has given Walla Walla
a stock company that will compare
with many of the higher priced or
CARNATIONS, and the patrons do not
have to pay a large price of admis-
sion to enjoy it. The company is
capable one, and the plays are chang
ed just often enough to suit the To-
cal theater goer.
Jane" the lively comedy that will
be played for the last time tonight,
is a hummer, and everyone of the
cast acquits themselves in a most
satisfactory manner.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
MACHINERY AND LABOR.

This is an age Of machinery. Be-
sides creating the political machines
which relieve the citizen of any ankle
ty as to his public duties, the
age has made immense strides in
other labor saving devices. The add
ing, subtracting and multiplying ma
chine bids fair to drive arithmetic out
of business. The machine which skins
the cream from milk does not lose a
drop, while the old skimming process
was crude and wasteful. Washing
machines which would relieve woman
of the drudgery of cleaning clothes
have not proved an encouraging sue
cess up to date, but a German firm
washing machine which will wash and
dry 5000 dishes an hour America
has produced an electric snoe black
which will shine six pairs of shoes at
once and take only two minutes to
do it. The newspaper business has to-
day the advantage of machines which
will set type three or four times as
fast as it could be done by hand. Trade
in small articles which has been hamp-
cred by the large problem of preparing
them for the market has now the use
of a wrapping machine which will rev.
olutionize the manufacturing drug
trade. 1t will fold and wrap all
the powders which are consumed in
this country, and do it one hundred
times as fast as fingers could do it.
Labor-saving machinery, contrary
to the idea that prevailed a generation
or two ago, does not relieve anyone
from the necessity of laboring. More
men are employed than ever before,
and they are working harder than ever
before. There has been a change IN
the direction of their effort, and new
avenues of work have been opened up
The spade and pick might dig the Pan
anna canal in generation, but by
means of great steam shovels which
scoop out eight cubic feet of earth at
a time, it is expected that the big Cul
ebra cut will be completed in three or
four years.
1t may be said that every labor
saving machine has created more de-
mand for labor that it has supplanted
The field of machinery is constantly
widening. Every want that is supplied
by the creation Of a machine only
opens other avenues of progress. The
development would seem to be limited
only by the wants of man and they are
bounded by only his boundless mag
nation.

THE HEATHEN ESKIMO.
He II Good HUNDRED With His Queer
Customs and Beliefs.

He II Good HUNDRED With His Queer
Customs and Beliefs.
Professor Myths Eriksen, writing OF
the heather Eskimo In northern Green
land, says: "He lacks Imagination, but
his powers Of observation are very
acute. In spite Of the fact that his life
is an uninterrupted struggle for exist
ence the Greenlander is always in a
good humor, and his boisterous laugh
can be heard sounding far over ice and
snow fields. His way<of telling stories
is short and abrupt but comical fea-
lures are strongly emphasized. His sto
ries consist generally of his own ad-
ventures, old legends about fights with
neighbors and wild animals, about Sc
we're winters and great famines, about
the creation Of the world and about
supernatural beings. It Is considered
highly .creditable to be able to tell sto-
ries so long that the audience Is lmlled
to sleep. An orator who achieves this
feat Is solemnly welcomed on the next
morning. and every one thanks him
profusely for the pleasure which he ac-
corded the night before.
ideas Of beauty are peculiarly devel-
oped in the heather Eskimo. He re-
CARDS beauty solely from the stand
point Of utility. For instance, a rock
projecting out Of water only appears
beautiful to him when It Is visited In
summer by water birds which breed
there. A foaming torrent Is only beau
tiful II 1t contains many salmon.
Clothes are not put together with any
idea of regularity Of color, only their
practical utility being considered. Huts
are made Of snow and stones, with
domed tops, but without any architec-
tural design.
''Only the spirit conturers (angakoks)
occupy an exalted position, being re-
garded as priests and doctors. Their
task Is to establish a connection be-
tween the visible word and the hidden
spirits, and in this way they obtain a
certain influence over their nei:hbors.
The angakok asks his spirit for ad-
vice and then informs the invalid that
his illness has been sent by the spirits
as punishment for certain deeds"

SUNDAY CLOSING
Law Governing the Subject Passed by
Legislature.

At the request Sof many patrons
the Evening Statesman prints the
section of the statute relative to Sun
day closing as follows:
ANY person who shall keep open
any playhouse or theater, race ground,
cock pit, or play a, any game of chance
for gain, or engage in any noisy
amusements, or keep open any drink
ing or billiard saloon, or sell or dis
pose of any intoxicating liquors as a
beverage, on the first day of the week,
commonly called Sunday, shall, upon
conviction thereof, be punished by a
fine not less than thirty dollars, nor
more than two hundred and fifty dol
lars. All fines collected for violation
of this section shall be paid into the
common school fund. (Bal c., Sec.

THE LAW ENOUGH CRY,

Every time the government by
strenuous efforts, succeeds in bagging
a railroad criminal the railroad lobby
holds up it's hands in admiration of
the work and adds: 'This proves again
that you have law enough" 1t was
so when the interstate commerce com
mission succeeded in breaking up the
private car line abuses in Michigan,
and it was so again when the govern
ment obtained pleas of guilty from
some of the Chicago packers who were
accused of obtaining rebates. It seems
useless to point out to them that
neither rebates nor private car-line
extortion is the entire question. The
whole question is one of reasonable
rates and reasonable regulation of the
whole transportation system. The
government is doing the best it can
with the laws which exist, but every

A TALE OF TWO SCOUTS.
Narrow Escape From q Rather ant
n Band of Indians.

Narrow Escape From a Rather and
a Band of Indians.
In Cyrus Townsend Brady's Indian
Fights and Fighters" is tale of two
scouts, Trudeau and Stillwell, who
carried to General Carpenter through
an Indian infested country the news
that Major Forsyth was being besieged
in the sands Of Beecher's island by
thousand warriors. Here Is one incl
dent Of their journey:
During this day a large party of
scouting Indians halted within 100 feet
Of the wallow where the scouts were
hiding. simultaneously with their ar
rival a wandering rattlesnake made its
appearance in front of the two scouts,
who were hugging the earth and ex-
pecting every minute to be discovered.
"In his way the rattlesnake was as
deadly as the Indian. The scouts
could have killed him easily had it not
been for the proximity of the Chey
enneS. To make the slightest move
ment would call attention to their hid
ing place. Indeed, the sinister rattle
Of the venomOuS snake before he struck
would probably attract the notice of
the alert Indians. Between the saw
age reptile and the savage men the
scouts were in frightful predicament,
which young Stillwell, q lad Of amaz-
ing resources, instantly and effectually
solved.
HE was chewing tobacco at the
time. and as the snake drew near him
and made ready to strike StIlwell
completely routed him by splitting to-
bacco juice In his mouth and eyes and
all over his head. The rattlesnake fed.
He could not stand such a dose. z. The
Indians presently moved on, having
noticed nothing, and 50 ended perhaps
the most terrible half hour the two
men had ever experienced"
