ADJUSTMENTS
HERE LAST NIGHT
Many Band Concerts and Shows-Nra-
hara Fair and Fountain
Punk-Good Crowds
All Around.

Surely there was enough doing in
the amusement line in the old town
last night to suit everybody. Things
were very lively indeed especially
during the early hours Of the evening
when Mahara's Minstrel band and
Bobby Foutain's band we're out on
the street. Truly. music filled the
air.
The colored minstrel band was out
first and for nearly an hour render
ed splendid concert on Fourth and
Main, entertaining a great crowd.
Then as it moved toward the opera
house Fountains band turned loose
in front of their show grounds on
Fourth and Rood and soon had the
crowd around it. Both bands were
very good indeed and each organiza-
tion played admirably. John Gamer
on son of J. NJ. Cameron of this city
is playing this summer with the Foun-
tain band and his remarkable work
on the snare drum adds greatly to
the strength of the organization.
Mahara's minstrels held forth at
the Park opera house and drew
good sized audience. A very enjoy
able performance was given. The
first part was tip top. The half doz-
en- dusky maidens with the company
are good singers and their work was
exceptionally pleasing. There was a
fine tenor among the male voices that
won high favor Tim" Wilson, the
star comedian was great. In the olio
the plantation songs and the Indian
maiden drill were the best features
One or two of the monologues were
very Iiresome. Take It all round
the colored people put up rattlins
good show. There was really nothing
new or nevel presented, it was a
wholesome old time minstrel per-
formance.
The Fountain company producing
1.-THE Heroes of the Alamo" attract
ed good sized crowd but gave a very
inferior performance. Blood and
thunder ran riot on the stage, some
of the performers were transformers
of the worst kind.
We would think that old Davy
Crockett and Jim Bowie would turn
oven in their graves every time an
effort was made by the Fountain COM
pany to impersonate them and depict
their deeds of daring.
There is nothing really commenia-
BILE about the Fountain show except
ing the music and that is certainly
good. The band and orchestra are
hard to beat.
The Novelty and Majectic theatres
drew big audiences last night as usu-
al and very satisfactory programs
were rendered.

Commissioner West came down and maGe
the trip over the G. & E. road as far as
Corvallis in order that he might observe
the conditions on the passenger trains at

now very great to Newport and Mr.. West

lump it, it is all the same to them.
Cases have come to light right
in Corvallis where parties have
shown with pride and boasting
articles purchased of Eastern
firms at such and such prices,
only to be completely knocked
sillyn by having the same article
offered them by local dealer at
the same or a lower figure.
Many father would 'trounce''
his young son should the latter
trade a bran new pocket knife
= sight unseen" with a neighbor
boy aud get the worst of the deal;
yet these self-same fathers
will play a regular shell game
with the Eastern wholesale firms,
planking down their hard earned
dollars on the strength of
pictured article and puff OF hot
air in pretusely illustrated cata-
logue.
1t takes cash TO deal with East
ern firms, and by paying cash
down and-also by buying in large
quantities, as many do in buying
from catalogues, greater "bar-
gins" could be secured from local
firms.
Let the man with horse sense
exert little reasoning power
along this line, and before order
ing sack of sugar, a half dozen
pairs of shoes or a keg of syrup
from the East, let him ask for
prices on the same quantity of

variety of disease than in the
past. Such is not the case.
The science Of medicine is better
understood and people generally
|are becoming more enlightened
in matters of diseases and how to
avoid contracting them. With
the progress and advancement in
medicine and surgery there has
come to US knowledge of how
best to avoid Contracting nearly
all of the more common disease.
Sanitation is the key note of
good health and every year sees
more Importance placed upon
those conditions and surround
ings which may effect the health
of any person. Municipalities
are giving more attention to mat
ters of sanitation and enforcing
their ordinances with greater
vigor than ever before. This is
the most certain means of avoid
ing epidemics of fatal diseases
and is so recognized by every
one. Our schools are paying
more attention to this matter
and it is right that they should.
That school teachers should
wage war against disease is the
opinion of DR.. Andrew C. Smith,
of Portland. A few days ago ih
the course of an address in that
city the doctor drew quite strong
ly upon the spread of tubercu-
losis. He laid the matter before
the teachers particularly and
said that when a child exhibite d
symptoms of tuberculosis he
should be isolated and kept apart
from his fellows.
Expectoration was given as
one of the principal causes for
The spread of tuberculosis. He
also urged that the use of states
IN schools be entirely done away
with. Great Importance was
placed upon the necessity of pre-
caution in looking after the con-
lltion of the public drinking
place and also the state of the
water supply. Sanitation is a
10th century necessity. The
masses and the individual will be
benefited by a strict observance
If its law.
