ft THE OORV ALUS GAZETTE, FRIDAY APRIL 20, 1894. 'J. 10CAL THEATEICALS. A Pleasing Play Presented by Proficient Artists. Corvallis is well supplied, witn taienc in all tines. In music we Lave people who can entertain an audience splendidly with both a f vocal and instrumental selections; our baud is second to none in the state; our art deco rators, while "hiding their light under a bushel" are still known to be doiug artistic work. We have promising orators and many good elocutionists. But that the dramatic field has not been neglected was strongly evidenced last Fiiday night by the play "Comrades," which was rendered before a large and critical audience. The progress of the play from the first curtain rise to the finale was marked by smoothness of produc t -n, and absence of awkward hitches and break. The company had been less than three weeks in learning aud drilling on the drama, and the splendid manner iu which it was presented is an evidence of the ability of the young ladies and gentlemen compos ing the cast. Miss Ora Spangler as Mrs. Manning acted tke young bride jealous of her liusbaud's at tentions, but generous-hearted still, to per- feotlon; anil without that common error 01 over-acting the part. As Bess Bradley, Miss Mildred Linville made her first ap pearance, and carried off her share of the honors. She showed no signs of the novice and her presentation of the coquettish merry maiden was pleasing in the extreme. Miss ' Lillian Hamilton was the commedienne, and . Nancy Nipper herself could not have been j more at home with the lines. She seemed ! to sparkle over with fun and her dialogue j with Simon Stone was breezy, and she was apparently unconscious of the gaze of an au dience. Geo. Paul, as Koy Mauning, more than met the expectations of his auditors. This is somewhat a different role than any he has heretofore been seen in, and served to display the versatility as well as the " high order of his ability. John Allen was dressed happily and spoke his lines in an admirable manner, and figured very natur ally in the love scenes with Bess, securing a generous share of applause. Henry Pape took the character of Matt Wiucor as the drunken tramp who reforms nuder the in fluence of his old comrade, Roy. Probably this is the most difficult role in the cast, and Mr. Pape, especially in the heavier scenes, displayed an artistic conception of the part and won for himself merited applause. Bert Tan Cleve took the comedy part of Simon Stone, a "jack of all trades," and rendered it m an inimitable manner. His natural gifts as a comedian were displayed to good advantage, malting him the recipient of many compliment, and he was re sailed at tar bta tang "The Bowery Grenediers." A, Weave with his familiar baojo greatly , the aadlesoe, and they recalled him Mr. Den Bay sang the "Tramp's fferj- " Hi tweet voice and excellent ex 9eeeion found Immense favor with the au dience. The gentleman can be congratula ted on bU exquisite vocalization. College Notes. Remember the concert at the college on 'the 26th. Rev. M. Pritchard, of Albany, visited the Mhool last Monday morning.

With them it is an optional study and we are glad to see them taking such interest in the higher Mathematics. ne of the girls was heard to remark that she thought it unjust for the boys to wear stripes when the girls had ' none. Another said she didn't care; that it would not be long before she was wearing some and that it would not be on her arm either. Trees To Be Dedicated. At three o'clork this afternoon Arbor day exercises will be held at the college. Trees will be dedicated to the late president of the Ward, Mr. W. S. Ladd, A. R. Shipley, late treasurer, and to E. M. Belknap, recently deceased. The ceremonies are to' be attend ed by the entire school and faculty, and ad dresses will be made by President Bloss and Professors Covell and Letcher. The trees to be dedicated to Messrs Ladd and Shipley stand immediately in front of Caathorn hall while the one planted in honor of Mr. Bel knap is near the saeehanical halL 1, Public School Notes.

This matter came before Justice Wilson not long since, when the defendant was found guilty and fined $25.00 and costs. The trouble grew out of a contract between Cooper and J . A. Moore rorrarililicv Home clearing that Cooper was do- 6 n - a i u iug on the farm of Moore's wife, which is located near Albany. Cooper was repeatedly warned off the premises by trespass notices but failed to heed the warning, so was arrested. The evidence introduced at the trial wns considerably mixed and each party seemed to have some rights in the matter which could have been adjusted by a civil action. After a very few miuutes deliber ation the jury returned a verdict of acquit td. Disputes of this kind should never 0 me into thecriminal court for adjudication. Taxpayers have burdens sufficient without being compelled to defray the expenses of such trivial litigation. Opera House. On Monday evening next the Theatre Roy al Dram.itic company, of Glasgow, Scotland, will inaugurate a short dranvitia season at the Corvallis opera house; appearing in the sensational melo drama entitled "The Gipsy Queen," to be followed Tuesday with the celebrated American drama "Way Down South'," aud for their final appearance Sir Walter Scott's "Rob Roy" will be giren in spectacular form. The company consists of fifteen people and have just finished an en- gagement at the Marquam Grand, 1'urtl.ud, tno pre88 there speaking of them in the most faV0rable manner. As the prices here are one-half less than at Portland, and the per- formaiices are equal, there is no doubt but that oavinir audionces will greet them. Re served seats are on sale at Graham & Wells' without extra charge. The scale of prices has been placed at 35 ami 50 cents. Reed's Rules Adopted. Tuesday the lower bouse of congress, by an overwhelming majority, decided to adopt a quorum counting rulo, which for all prac tical purposes, is the same as that: iuauuu rated by Speaker Reed, during the 51st congress. lmmeiliateiv allof tue voce was taken Reed was surrounded by his party friends, and given an ovation. There is now serious grounds for alarm either the milleuium must be approaching nr else the world will soon come to an end. It is iertaiuly encouraging for the country when a democratic congress artmiU that the republican party have any principles worthy of emulation. It may be possible that they intend, to defeat the Wilson bill and then adopt a resolution endorsing the McRinley tariff. There is no telling what a democratio congress will do and the above is as likely a theory as any. Breaking Up Meeting. The Shakesoeriau club which has met during the winter at the residence of Prof. and Mrs. J. B. Horner held their breaking np meeting last Monday evening. They finished reading the play King Lear, and at the conclusion Prof. Horner presented each member with a souvenir in the shape of an artistically decorated card with the name of the club and Quotations from King tiear printed thereon in art letters. Before leav ing all the members expressed themselves as having received great benefit and pleasure from the readings of the club. This olub was organized last fall and has met regular, ly ever since each Monday evening, during which time Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Hen ry VIII., King Lear, aud one, of the come dies have been read.

E. H. Johnson, of C. J. Knutton & Co., Kensington, Minn. 50 cent bottles for sale by Graham & Wells. A. E. Acklom, of Newport, is supposed to be dead. Some weeks ago the Gazette contained a notice of his death, but later developments prove the story to be a ca nard. With pleasure we print a card from the gentleman dated at San Francisco, which states that "it is not often that a man has the unique experience of viewing his own tombstone or reading his obituary no tice; and I dislike to spoil an item when news is scarce, bnt it is nevertheless a cold, hard fact that I am yet alive." Howell & Cummins have completed the work of planting fifty acres of hops on the John Whitaker farm, located about eight mil-s south of Corvallis. Sorbin, the Chinaman, who is also in the hop business, has finished planting one-half of his sixty acre yard. . The land on which the latter are planted is owned by W. A. Wells, and has been leased to Sorbin for a term of six years, during which time he is to furnish everything; and deliver the hops, baled, in Corvallis, receiving therefor three-fourths of the proceeds. Besides these, several smaller yards have been planted, so it will not be long until Benton eonnty will lead in tbe hop industry. erly of the' state) of LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

When a man is. under indictment for a serious offense against society, an attempt to bulldoze the prosecuting attorney into silence will not have the effect of increasing the belief of the general publie iu his inno cence. The women at Albuquerque, New Mexico, passed a resolution condemning Brecken ridge "the whitewhiskered reprobate." A few scientific strokes of Spencer & Ca'e's razors could easily render that epithet a lie apparent. While making some experiments at the college laboratory last Wednesday afternoon Prof. John Pulton had the misfortune to se verely burn the fingers of his right hand, from the effects of which he is suffering considerable pain. Last Tuesday a half million of Portland water lionds were sold at a premium of nearly $50,000, being the highest price ever realized for Portland securities.

His subject will be "The economic relation of the tariff to labor." A special invitation is extended to students of the O. A. C. Several communications were received last week. Sumo were crowded out by more important matter, while others were received too late for publication. In a week they become stale and bo are consigned to the wate basket. This unfortunate circum stance should not however deter the writers from trying again. A wire from Pendleton to the Oregoniau under date of April 13th, states that Lee G. Hunt, aged 21, son of G. W. Hunt, the railroad contractor, of Walla Walla, was drowned at Echo, at 4 o'clock this after- uoon, while attempting to ford the Umatilla river. He never reappeared after having been swept from his horse. The body has not yet been recovered. W. W. Prebles, of Fayette county, Iowa, is visiting his old friend and former towns mill, F. B. Francisco, who recently located in Corvallis. Mr. Prebles has been making a trip over the coast in search of a location and is much pleased with the appearance of Corvallis. He left this week for southern California and will soon return east. Freddy Ellsworth, aged 13 years, while out hunting near Phif rmath, in company with Oliver Felger, were startled by a full grown wildcat that ran across their path. Being armed with a shot gun loaded with bird shot, thev were at first loth to shoot for fear the animal would be only slightly wounded and might attack them. They finally mustered up courage, however. and blazed away, killing the cat at tbe firnt shot. The kind appreciation shown by the pub lic of Corvallis in the recent presentation of the play Julius Caesar has encouraged the members of the company to present another classical play in the near future. Damon and Pythias has been selected, and it will be presented in tbe early summer. . The cast of characters will be selected exclusively from the local talent that figured in the Shake aperean play above mentioned. John T.

Increasing Popularity of The Noiseless Steed. "Look before you leap." That sounds rather elevated, but it is just What a man must do if he intends to become the happy possessor of a bicycle. An intended pur chaser today must avoid shams, "bargains" and low grade wheels. He roust buy a wheel which is made by a responsible firm, whose wheels have been thoroughly tested and have proved a success. It is for the general interest of those intending to purcuase wheels that a few general notes are here given. First If there are any wheels in your town observe them very closely. See which serves its purpose the best. 1 Second When you have set your eye on a wheel otitain a catalogue anu give n a careful reading. Compare the specifications to those set forth in other catalogues. Third Take the advice of an experienced rider rather than that-of one who has cheap goods to sell you. Fourth Be careful in the selection of tires. There are numerous good tires, but of course there are always some which are the best. The Morgan &. Wright is a good tire. Has stood the test. The New York tire company and several others also manu facture good tires. The Palmer tire is one of the best on the market and has a place in the respect of every wheelman. The "Bur- r's" is somewhat new and is likely to cause some stir among wheelmen. Fifth Examine the following ports closi - ly: bearings, head, the long head is preferr ed, adjustments and joints, sprockets, see that they are reversible, dust caps, and forks. See that the front fork is strong. Sixth After you have purchased a wheel obtain a book of instructions on the care of your wheel. Any dealer will give you one, If you follow the above directions, nseiug good judgment, you will certainly never regret the act. Remember that in the long ruu a high priced wheel is the cheapest, for it will last as long as three cheap wheels. Wood rims are becoming very popular and are endorsed by many of the best riders in this country. We believe they will stand the test. Nancv Hauks made her famous record driven to a pair of Imperial wheels. The democratic city convention, of Mil waukee, Wis., adopted the following clause in its platform: "We emphasize the need of a comprehensive plan of street improve ments in Dlace of the ureseut system under which many streets are nearly impassable at certain seasons of tbe year. Ibis is en couraging to wheeimcn. It proves that the political parties realize that cycle clubs con trol votes and are not composed of minors. , The Mercury club has adopted a rcsolu tion pledging itself to support the party that will favor better highways. The Western Union postal telegraph, and the telegraph department of the National Transit company have isnued any order to their linemen to supply themselves with bi cycles to be used when they are sent over their lines for repairs. The line of the dit- ferent companies extend for the must part along the public highways aud the wheel can be used to good advantage, and besides will be a great saving of expense in the way of livery hire says the Pittsburg Times. In 1893 there were 1,162 lady members in the league of American wheelmen. Four of these were from Oregon. The Pacific coast record for 100 miles on the road is held by J. A. McGuire, of Den ver, Colo. McGuire covered that distance in six hours and six minutes. Nothing better illustrates the growth of cycling than the attention thai it is receiv ing at the hands of the newspapers of the country. Ten years ago they contained scarcely a mention of bicycles except as cu rious novelties. Five years ago they gave an occasional notice of the sport, usually in spired by personal influence. Today the leading papers devote their space liberally to wheels and wheelmen, and not a few set aside a column regularly to cycle news. A Wheelman. Anticipating the Wilson Bill. These times our people have but little cash: most of them are inclined to blame the present administration for this condi tion of affairs. Probably they are right, but whatever the cause, the fact remains undisputed if a merchant wishes to do bus iness be must count on little or no profit and put his wares to low that the elephant- trodden purses of the community can reach them.. Mr. Kline seems to recognize this fact, and a large sign in front of his store proclaims, "Our entire stock of clothing must be sold iu the next sixty days at new tariff prices." Mr. Kline is a man of his word and no doubt in this case means what he says. His stock of clothing is complete and well selected. GARDNER, THE ARTIST, For bargains in photographs; all styles to suit.

For an impromptu affair the surprise party in honor of Miss Nannie Bloss at her home last Wednesday evening, was one of the most successful parties of the season. . Miss Bloss, during her stay in Corval lis, has become quite popular among the young people and her influence and presence has manifested itself about the colleee and made an impression on whatever else she has taken an interest in. The young ladies at the college have found her aid invalu able to them in assisting in their arrange ments and preparations for commence ment and other public exhibitions, and "they will sadly miss their "amiable and interesting companion after next Mon day when she leaves for her old home in Indiana. Her mirth-loving disposition has gained for her many friends in Cor vallis who will join her student friends in wishing that she may soon return. On this occasion Miss Bloss had in vited Mrs. Casto and the young ladies at the ladies' hall to spend the evening with her. Wednesday morning the thought occurred to Mr. Will H. Bloss that this would be a good opportunity to give his sister a surprise and immedi ately put the idea into execution by in viting the members of the ladies' mando lin club and their husbands, together with a few other friends, to spend the evening. At 8 o'clock the guests be gan to arrive and before 9 the parlors of President Bloss' home were filled with merry company. The rooms were tastefully decorated with potted plants and about the fire-place ferns were ar ranged with pleasing effect. Music was the order of the evening and several excellent selections, vocal and instrumental, were rendered. Miss Ora Spangler, Wallis Nash and W. Gifford Nash delighted the company with Well executed piano instrumental Miss Hattie Friendly, with her wonted grace and talent, recited "The Secrets of the Heart," by Austin Dobson. The "blonde quartette," Messrs. Bloss, Yates, Johnson and Fulton, sang one of their taking songs and responded to a hearty encore. Will. Bloss screwed his voice up several points and sang a song to good effect on his hearers, but the ef fect on his voice was too much and he was unable to respond to the continued demand for a repetition. After a dainty lunch had been served the ladies' mandolin club played several pieces that completely captivated those who listened. Mis3 Bloss piano solo and encore, though a trifle sad, was well received. Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Bloss as sisted in receiving and did much toward the success of the evening. An English Squawk. New York, April iJ5 The Evening Post's London Cable says: The condi tion of American trade and the threaten ing delay in the passing of the tariff bill are causing uneasiness here and are affecting all markets. If the tariff bill is not passed quickly, it is feared that the position .will approach a commercial crisis. Mrs. Kate J. Young, grand chief of honor, Evergreen lodge, degree ' of honor, A. O. U.
