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,

Cooper Acquitted.
The time of the circuit court was taken
np last Monday in trying the trespass case
of the state vs. Cooper. 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.

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.

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.

These times our people have but little
cash: most of them are inclined to blame
the present administration for this condi

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

Enjoyable Party.
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.
