Blanche Walsh in "The Woman In the
Case.n
Blanche Walsh, who occupies a
place on the American stage that is
all her own, and whose magnificent
performance of Maslova in the origin
al production of Resurrection" Is
known from Maine to California,
comes to the Metropolitan, on Thurs
day evening. presenting her latest and
greatest success, Clyde Fitch's "The
Woman in the Case" The play was
originally produced at the Herald
Square, New York, last winter, for an
intended four-weeks' run. 1t stayed
at that theater for four months, and
the engagement closed only on ac-
count of summer heat that cools even
unstinted enthusiasm. In August, long
before the serious drama had return
ed to the boards, Miss Walsh and
The Woman in the Case" returned to
the scenes of interrupted triumph, and
the result was another artistic and
financial success, that might have been
prolonged indefinitely had it not been
for contracts signed for appearances
In this and other cities. A sample Of
the much sought New York endorse
ment received at the time the piece
was presented at the Herald Square
is given below and is an extract from
the criticism of the New York Globe.
"Since the first performance of The
Climbers four years ago, no play by
Cly'e Fitch has been followed with
such intense interest or received such
quick and sincere applause as did
The Woman in the Case The play
has single theme to which the
author holds fast with unexpected
skill in concentration, suspense and
climax. From start to finish the
theme grips the audience without in
terruption. 1t eliminates in a scene
of struggle, true to the superficial
aspects, and also the underlying reali-
ties of the characters and the situa-
tons. The house breathed hard as 1t
listened, and before the curtain was
down there was a burst of applause,
half nervous relief, half sincere tribute
to the skill and force of the play and
players, such as has not been heard
at a first night this winter"

WHERE ARE THEYe
Ben Montgomery and Frank
Evans-Both are Missing
\ and Their Parents are
Anxious.

Where is Ben Montgomery, aged
"a? Where is Frank Evans, aged
20? Nothing has been heard of
either since November 25th, and
their relatives are much concerned.
Young Montgomery's parents re-
side on Water street in what used
to be the Wills property. Evans
people reside in Nebraska, and his
father arrived in Corvallis Wednes-
day, looking for the missing lad.
The Montgomery boy has been in
Corvallis more or less for the past
four years, when he arrived with
his parents from the East.
The two boys were working to
gether in q saw mill in Portland,
when they disappeared. That was
on the morning of the 22th of Nov
ember. They took their dinner
pals as usual that morning and
started for the mill where they
were employed. The statement of
the people where they boarded is
that they drew their money at the
mill at nine o'clock. and left town.
This statement, Mr.. Montgomer y
the elder, has not been able to veri-
fly. On this account, and for the
further reason that no tidings what
ever have been received from the
absent son a condition arises that
gives the family much concern.
Always, in the past, when absent
from home, he has written regul-
arly and frequently to his mother.
December 9th, the father went to
Portland to investigate the disap.
pearance, but learned nothing be.
You'd that stated above. That was
nearly two months ago, and the
concern then felt has since reached
the stage of greater or less anxiety
Neither of the boys use intoxicants
and neither has bad habits. They
became acquainted at Washougal
Washington where they were in the
employ of the same establishment
!: Evans is not known in this city
Young Montgomery was employed
last spring for some time on thu
Joseph Yates place, where he sus
tanned an injury by a horse falling
or him, the facts of which were re
lated in the Times when the accid
/ ent occurred.

DIED TODAY.
Nathaniel Dixon, Father of Ezra and
Sam Dixon-Native of MARYLAND.

Sam Dixon-Native of Maryland.
Nathaniel Dixon, the aged father
of Sam c. Dixon and Ezra Dixon,
died at the Dixon dairy near town
at 3:I5 this morning. If he had
survived until the 9TH day of next
September. he wonld have reached
the 18th anniversary of his birth.
He was born in Maryland, and his
life was spent in that state. in Kan
sas and in Oregon. He first came
to Oregon in 1885, but after sever
al years returned to Kansas. He
lived there until last May, when he
returned to Benton county to spend
his remaining days. His last ill
ness began two weeks ago, though
his health has been much impaired
for the past two years. The ur-
viving members of the family are,
Silas Dixon and Mrs. Luella Hare,
a son and daughter, of Kansas,
Ezra Dixon, Portland, Michael
Dixon, a son, Dayton, Oregon and
Sam c. Dixon, a son, Corvallis.
The wife of the deceased died De-
cember 20, 1890. Ezra and Mich
cal Dixon arrived at noon today to
be present at the obsequies. The
deceased was a man of high char
acter and leaves an honorable
name to his children.
The funeral occurs at Plymouth
chapel at I o clock tomorrow. The
burial will be at Newton cemetery.

WHERE DOOM IS.

The good ship Valencia, gone to
the bottom with her 13o dead is the
last of three score of vessels that
the inhospitable northern coast has
claimed. She is the third the same
sea has claimed within the past few
weeks. the other two being the
Pass of Medfort and the David
King, the first with "a drowned
and the other with seven. The
terrors OF the rock-rimmed shore,
precipitous cliffs and its terrible
sweep of current and awful wash Of
wave are described as more appall-
ing and more perilous to mariners
than at any other spot OF the face
of the globe. Provision, it would
seem ought to be made to stay as
far as possible the hand of destruc'

place of death. The propertyloss

into account the losses in life, have

FISHER RANDS.
They were we'd Marriage Of
Well Known Corvallis Girl.

At $50 Wednesday evening at
the Fisher home on Eighth street,
occurred the marriage of Miss
Clara Fisher, youngest daughter
Of E. w. Fisher, and Ernest Rands
of Oregon City. Promptly at the
appointed hour, Mrs. Inez Wilson
seated herself at the piano, and to
the strains of a wedding march, the
bridal party led by DR.. E. J.
Thompson, approached the front
parlor, where under a lovers knot
the ring ceremony of the Presby-
terrain church made the lovers man
and wife. The bride leaning on
the arm of her father, was very at
tractive in a white gown of net ov-
er taffeta. Her veil was caught in
place by a handsome diamond pin,
the gift of the groom. The matron
of honor was Mrs. Clara Irvine.
Hembree of McMinnville, who was
becomingly gowned in pink chiffon
over taffeta. Mr.. Carlton Harding
of Oregon City was best man. The
dining room was prettily decorated
with pink ribbons, smilax and pink
carnations. the coffee table being
especially attractive. An elaborate
and delicious lunch was served by
Misses Edna Osburn and Haze
Raber, the guests lingering about
the table until a late hour.
The bride is a daughter in a well
known pioneer family, a graduate
of the State College, and a young
woman of worth. The groom is q
civil engineer and a man of prom.
inence in Clackamas county. A
handsome home in Oregon City i:

Though currently rumored at
the time, few people supposed that
one reason why a 80 years light
franchise vas urged on Corvallis
was in order that local light people
might effect a sale of their plant.
The reason urged why a franchise
that was still to exist for eight years
must be extended to 1885 was,
that Corvallis needed electric pow
er. The experience so far is, that
the local plant has been sold, that
it goes to the people who got the
long franchise, and that if reports
be true, Corvallis will get its fill
of power, electrical and otherwise.

A FREE RIVER.

A chief topic of discussion at the
Albany meeting of the Development
League was an untrammelled Will
1amette river. 1t is only because
people have not stopped to think
about the enormous detriment there
is in a lockage charge at Oregon
City, that the river was not long
ago made free. Fifty cents paid to
a private corporation on every ton
of freight that passes through the
locks means fifty cents per ton adj
ded not only to the cost of moving
every ton of freight by river, but
on that moved by rail as well.
Were the charge removed, boats
could carry freight for fifty cents
per ton less and that would force
railroads to reduce the charge cor
Iespondingly. Therefore the lock-
age charge means a cent and a half
taken from the sale price of every
bushe1 of wheat raised in the valley
It means a toll of 2 1-2 cents on ev-
cry sack Of potatoes, 2 Ia cents
on every sack of sugar, 2 Ia cents
on every keg of nails, 2 IL cents
on every sack of salt, 4 cents on
every bale of hay, S cents On every
bale of hops, 10 cents on every
head of sheep, and rs cents on ev-
cry horse OF head of cattle. The
1ockage charge is a toll collector
that stands knocking constantly al
the door of every farm house and
every town home, with hand ex'
tended perennially for tribute, Il
is a source of cost to be reckone6
by the hundred thousand each yea
and that since it began has cost thu
people millions of dollars. We go OF
tolerating it simply andonly because
we never stop to think about it
When will we throw off the incubus
When will we stop the drain, whe,
take possession of the free rive
that the Omnipotent never intended
as the private snap for a toll-taker
but as the rich inheritance of al
the people?

VIII accede 10 the proposition. He holds
be the will OF his people as expressed
by them at the polls in a fair and free
election. His possession Is more than
nine points of the law. 1t might be
said to be nine and one-half points, at
least. If he should consent 10 arbitra-
ton he would tacitly admit that there
might be doubt as to the business of
his position. This he can hardly af-
ford to do.
1t viii doubtless be said on behalf of
the insurgents that If Palma refuses
the junta's proposition it will be be-
cause he does not dare to arbitrate the
question, that he feels sure the com-
mission would decide against him. This
is an old argument against people who
refuse to arbitrate, and sometimes Il is
well founded Perhaps Palma was UNI
fairly elected; perhaps he did intirni-
date those who would have voted
against him and protect those who
were for him; but he. would be foolish
to arbitrate just the same.
1t would be better for him to fight the
revolutionists as long as he has the
ability to fight them. He can no more
afford to arbitrate than the average
husband could afford TO arbitrate the
question as TO whether or not his wife
loves him. He may lose his position
by continuing the fight, but that is the
only line for him to work on.
