the average run of burlesque, and the
scenery is by far the prettiest of the sea-
son. There are two burlettas, Mixed and
Mixed" and "At Asbury Park" and in
each there is plenty of fun and laughter,
with two or three good comedians. There
are some new songs, well sung, some new
dances well danced and some new COM
edy.
At the end of the first part comes the
best singing act of the season, Ed Nor
ton in character songs. He is the first
man of this season who was so popular
with the audience that the people were
not willing for the next act to come on.
He has a good voice and sings well. A
big ballet, the Four Seasons, follows,
with the score Of chorus girls dressed In
different costumes to suit the four sea-
sons with La Belle Alvora doing some
of the finest toe and acrobatic dancing
ever seen here Many were surprised to
find that LA Belle" was man when he
removed his wig at the end of the act.
The Yoltos a Partisan pair, also dance
gracefully, putting on characteristic Eu-
ropean dances, and the two acts finally
com bining at the finale to make a big
spectacular.
In the olio are four vaudeville acts, the
Cain sisters, fair dancers, singers and
story-tellers, both prettily dressed and
good 10 look at, SteWdrI anu lJesInofu, IL

Durham, Edwards and Heslin, three men
possessed with fine voices, which sounded
well together or In solos The three made
a hit, for their music was of unusual
quality The Wheelers concluded the per-
forrnance with some eccentric juggling
and comedy. The entire performance Is
clean. There are two performances daily
at the Gayety.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

James ONeill gave his usual superb
performance of Edmund Dantes in 1.-THE
Count of Monte Cristo'' at the Jefferson
theatre last night before an audience that
applauded the star generously. No player
has ever fitted the role SO well as James
ONeill, and while he speaks of farewell
tours and new productions, the character
of the count will probably be distinctive
ly his until he dies. The play holds won
derful possibilities for romance, and its
charm does pot diminish with the passing
of the years. Neither does the art of
James O'Neil lose any of It's finish. There
is an inmitable grace in the way that
he moves about the stage, and his slight
est gesture is fraught with meaning. He
has worn a sword so long and has -four
shed lace cuffs so often that such adorn-
ment seems a part of his nature. The
supporting company was uniformly good
and the scenery all that could be desired.

Many people who witnessed the per-

it the best show of the season at that

No previous company has had as many

and no manager has dressed them well.
In no company have they shown to such
advantage as in this, and their dancing
in particular is a big feature.

COSTLY BRICK.
For the Woman's Building Some Fig
ures That Enter Into the Con-
struction.

Pressed brick is arriving for COM
pletion of the walls of the Woman S.
building at the College. 1t comes
from Newberg and thereby hangs
tale. The clay for making it is
taken from the banks OF the Viii.
lamette near Buena Vista. The
clay bed could not be reached on
account of high water during boat
ing season, and the material, after
being digged from the bank, was
hauled by team to the railroad at
Parker station. The men who
hauled it made $3.50 per day,
which is straw that shows some
thing of the cost of the brick.
By train, the clay was carried to
the brick works at Newberg, and
then, by train 1t was carried to Cor
wallis. For all this handling there
was a good wage, and the ultimate
cost of the brick may be imagined.
There are 400, 900 brick, pressed
and common in the building.
There are 10000 lath. Sixteen
hundred pounds of nails are requir-
ed in putting on the lath. There
is TO odd thousand feet of floor
space. Over seven tons of nails
enter into construction o. the build
ing, and over 5000 barrels of ce-
ment.
The work is going ahead as rap
idly as the delay in securing mater
ials will permit. A portion of the
structure will probably be ready
for occupancy by the opening of
college September 27th.

HORSES AND AUTOS.
Also men-Some Incidents and Some
Accidents.

The advent of new autos has put
Benton county horses on their met
tie and their owners on the qui
vive. It has also put some owners
on the ground. George Dsnman
was one. He met Mark Rickard' S
new machine. and the horse paid
no attention until after the danger
was over sThenshe got scared aud
ran with the rig which carried sev-
eral ladies', into a ditch. Mr..
Rickard chivalrously picked up the
wreck and hauled all home.
When an auto approaches We
hicle from the rear, and the warn
ing horn is blown, there is always
activity on the upper works of the
vehicle. The decks are cleared for
action without delay. Two men in
a buggy under such circumstances,
the other day, leaped out and both
seized the horse by the bride bits.
They were the only really scared
things in the neighborhood, the
wise horse neither moved muscle
nor batted an eye. He acted like
he had been elbowing autos all his
life. His drivers, however, didn't
suspect him to be so wise and evi-
IDENTIFY expected, when the auto
flashed before him, that he would
flip a back scmersault over the
buggy or coon up tree, buggy,
drivers and all.
Samuel Whitesides, the well
known farmer west OF town, took
time by the forelock. His sor
Clarence drives an auto. The old
gentleman got his roadsters all 10
gether and tied them to a tree. By
appointment, Clarence appeared
with the machine and took il
through all manner of evolutions il
the presence of the prancing bunch
circling around them, blowing the
horn and performing generally.
AS result OF the treatment Mr.
Whitesides, the elder, expects hi:
equines to live the simple quiet life
no matter how many autos are or
the horizon.

MARKED FOR DEATH.
Alleged Plot : Assas.inate Monroe
Merchants-eA Warning Letter.

In warning letter received
through the mails by A. Wilhelm
at Monroe yesterday. it is stated
that members cf the we'll known
firm are marked for death, and
that they are to be blown up with
bombs in the same way that the
death OF eX Governor Steuenberg
was accomplished in Idaho in De-
cember 1905. The letter. which is
signed IA Farmer declares that
six men have sworn to do the deed,
and that the last of August is the
limit to which the marked men are
| to be allowed to live. Adam Will
helm Sr. and his sons Mat and
Adam are mentioned as slated for
death, and the assassin that picks
off the first one receives bonus of
$500. Instant death is declared 20
be the portion of any one of the six
who shall give information as to the
plans. The letter says bomb is TO
be placed at the gate of the Will
helm home, just as was done at ex
Governor Steuenberg's gate.
| A fact that makes the letter as
sumo graver interest is that some
time ago a plan to burn the Viii.
helm store narrowly failed of exc
cution. Several places about the
building were saturated with coal
oil, and match was applied For
some reason, the design failed, and
now the letter pretends to throw
light on the affair by saying that
"the kid" that was to do the burn
ing got frightened and put out the
fire, after he had lighted it. The
letter also insists that the gang of
six claim they have grievances
against the Wilhelms. and that the
assassination is to be means of
revenge. The letter is written on
a circular sent out in the late cam
paign by ]. Scott Taylor, demo-
cratic candidate for state printer.
An additional detail that heightens
the seriousness of the letter is that
such threats as it contains are
known to have been made several
times in the past. The firm is one
of the best known in the county,
and comprises citizens of high char
acter. The letter is as follows:
/ THE LETTER.
