CLERGY PRAISE ITS VIRTUE

Wilson Barrett's powerful drama,
1.-The Sign of the Cross" comes to the
Keylor Grand tomorrow Oct. p.
More than usual interest is involved
in the presentation of this wonderful
play for it brings together in joint
admiration for dramatic offering of
the highest and best influence in the
religious and secular elements in each
community. Prominent divines have
eloquently stated that to visit 1.-The
Sign of the Cross" has as much stir
ring effect on the better senses as an
impressive sermon; while even the
blase theater goer is CENTRALIZED by the
gorgeous magnificence Of the pictures
Of Rome's wealth and luxury under the
dark rule of Nero and thrilled by the
intensely dramatic incidents and Won
derful climaxes in the recital Of the
story Of the persecution of the Chris
tians. The torturing Of the Christian
boy Stephanus and the superb climax
of the third act when a thunder bolt
from heaven and the uplifting Of the
cross by the lovely Christian maiden
Mercia seals the conversion of her pa
gan admirer, Marcus Superbus, are
among the many intensely dramatic
and realistic episodes of this play.
Mr.. r. G. Crarein, who has the sole
rights to 1.-THE Sign of the Cross" for
give it a sumptuous scene, and an I'M
commonly strong cast, including sew
liam Greet's London company.

Toad Dimes on Bees.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

K. D. Smith, of Lock Haven, veter-
an beeraiser, has been cleverly outdone
and by a large toad at that. Smith,
who spends much time working around
his honey makers, discovered large
toad in front of one of the hives, and
as the busy bees went in and out his
toadship would occasionally devour one
Of them.
The diet of bees mad given the toad a
fat, sleek appearance, and Smith con-
Guided that to protect the bees he
would have to get rid of the pest. Be-
ing tender hearted, he could not bear
to kill the bee eater, so he put it in a
paper sack and carried it to the river
and carefully deposited it close to the
waters edge and went back to his
home well satisfied at getting rid of the
critter so nandily.
Imagine his surprise a day or two
later to find the same old toad in it's
accustomed place in front of the hives
gorging itself with the toothsome, busy
little workers. Smith decided to give
the toad one more chance to reform, so
he again put it into sack and carried
it across the river. Up to today 1t had
not returned.

THE PERPLEXED Pr.

One of the most distressing features
of the removal from office of A. Frank
KEGS. former warden Of the prison, Is
the embarrassing position in which the
Seattle Post1Intelligencer is placed.
1T has resulted in that personal adj
vancement organ being shunted from
one side of the political fence, then to
the other-and in a manner so incon-
sistent the readers are fairly dazed by
the transitions.
In the first place the P.-I. must
stand for what the governor mas to
say through his mouthpiece and Sec
rotary, who is the P.-1.'s chief cor
respondent in Olympia. Because of this
it must and does defend the action of
the governor in removing KEGS.
In the second instance the Pr.
must retain its sandy footing In
Walla Walla, still recognize the de-
mands of the Walla Walla edition,
the Evening Bunc' being its corre-
spondent here. Of course the "Bunc"
is defending KEGS to the best of its
limited ability. The. stories sent out
would cause those who do not know,
to believe the former warden is lit
tie pink cherub with sat1n-l1ned
wings. All these stories the Pr.
must publish to. retain its connection
with the eliminated ones.
1t must be delightful to one John L.
Wilson. He must uphold the governor
in firing KEGS and he must uphold
KEGS and his brigands here in declar-
ing KEGS should not be fired.
Underneath this rests the knowl-
edge that a combine between Mead
and the Piles and Ankeny people,
through the elimination of KEGS,
means the certain interment of the
Wilson political aspirations several
feet below the range of the frigid
zone.

Hump Back Salmon.
Castle Rock Advocate.

Sam Cornelius caught a genuine
hump-back salmon in his net Monday
morning. This species is rare here, but
few having been taken in the past. On
the Alaskan coast they are caught and
canned by the million, but they seldom
venture this far south. The specimen,
which was on exhibition at the market
is a very unattractive one, and we
would hesitate about eating any of it.
The hump starts just back of the head
and extends beyond the dorsal fin,
making a hump much like a camePs
The head is long and pointed, with a
mouth and teeth like a VOLTS, the
whole makeup constituting a very re-
pulsive looking fish.

starting next Monday, Oct. 20. Never
in the history of Walla Walla has so
excellent an operate organization ap-
peared in the west. The principals OF
the company are each and every one
artists to their finger tips. The CHORUS
is undoubtedly the best singing en-
semble to be found in light opera on
this continent. The costumes ana
scenery are all that can be desired,
and the operas are Of that dainty and
refined character which makes 1t a
pleasure indeed to recommend such an
attraction to our theater goers.
For this engagement, and in this
city only. a scale of prices mas been
arranged that will meet with great ap-
prevail. The box seats and the first
two rows of the parquette will be $3.50,
the balance of the lower floor $1.O0.
The first nine rows of the balcony
will be IS cents the balance of the
balcony so cents. The gallery 25 cents.
These prices should insure capacity
audiences at every performance.
"Babette," that great light opera of
Victor Herbert's will be sung on Mon

objects-the defeat of Senator Ankeny

''avowed object"-that of continuing
publication until after the election.

COMBATING OPIUM IN CHINA.

China has just revised and consoli- dated her native opium taxation. It amounts to 115 Picking taels per picul (about 66 cents per pound) on crude opium and double that amount on the prepared article, the growers tax be- ing abolished.
 According to reports from Picking the government is anxious to curtail the use of opium. but is depsndent for revenue to the extent of over $4,000.- 900 a year on the duties paid on i'm ported opium. She cannot, in the present state of her national finances. witness without concern the disap- pearance of such an important branch of revenue. The imports of opium amount to 5000 tons, while the native article is produced to the extent of 30,000 tons. Moreover, there Is a great development in the use of mor- phia. The Japanese ship to China large quantities or cheap hypodermic syringes.
 The better Chinese are reported to have strong feeling against the enor. nous extension of the growth of the poppy throughout the empire. A Picking correspondent of the London Times indicates that China will ask India to consent to an annual reduc- ton in the import of opium to China, which would have the effect of ex- tinguishing the trade in ten years. and as an evidence of good faith will issue an imperial edict condemning the use of opium and forbidding the employment in the government serv- ice of any opium eater, and order an annual reduction in poppy cultivation leading to it's extinction in ten years.
