Ably assisted by Misses Hiillie Pur rinli, Frances Jones, and Misses Cox and Bhuart tljo entertainment was one the success of which has seldom If ever been excelled by any per formance ever given in the city. Tlio choruses were full and the diff erent parts were well sustained.

A Pretty Indian Legend And Story of Chomekete. Some (louit Halt. Adam Jtoagcu and John JSaro, late of Waterloo, Iowa, yesterday purchased of J. V. JJrown tho property on Commercial street now occupied by tho Farmers' Home sa loon. Tho prico paid was ?1000. This property was purchased by Mr. Drown for $'2,500 several years ago. In early spring the old frame build ings will be removed and a Hue brick erected In their stead. Mr. Itoagon Is a harness maker, and Mr. liuro a baker. They will make this city their future homo. Yesterday afternoon Harvey Walker sold his farm of 110 acres on the Howell Prairie road, one and a half miles east of Salem. L. Alnsworth,latoof Kansas, purchas ed 100 acres, Joseph Myers thirty acres and II. II. Spaulding of Kan sas ten acres. Tho purchaso prico was$lH)pcracie. IlroDgbt to the I'enltentlary. George Devi no was brought to the penitentiary yesterday from linker county,having plead guilty of larceny. Before tho judge young Devlne's attorneys plead for mercy on account of the youth of the prisoner, he having not yet arrived at man's estate, the fact of his hav ing returned tho puree which contained but $11.50, to its owner, and asked that In this instance the penalty imposed should partake more of. tho spirit of reform than the punishment usually and right fully meted out to tho hardened and oft-erring criminal. After being subjected toa lecture ou the euormlty of his offense ho was given two years In tho penitentiary. The Steamer a Total Loss. Now nothing remains to do with the wrecked Yaqulna Day but to turn her over to the underwriters. All eflorts to raiso her havo proved futile and she Is a hopeless wreck ou the sands. Sho was a first-class steamship and was Insured for her full value. Sho lies now careened over on her side toward tho north, with the seas running over her bows, and little or no hopes are enter tained of saving her. Tho Indians havo many pretty legends and allegories which are handed down to the succeeding gen erations and after a few years are a part of history. To-day many of these aboriginal words are in daily usage and we scarcely stop to con sider their meaning. "Chemekete," for which a street of the capital city and her great hotel are named, in tho language of the red man con veys tho idea of " Our Home. " The traveling public, since Salem's popular hotel of this Indian name has como under tho management of Messrs. Monroe & Bell, see how ap propriate the name really Is. Thoy think of It as "Our Happy Home, " for such it is. Tho contract was to-day made for tho lighting of tho house by elec tricity, which will be a great im provement over present methods. Tho upper floor is being refitted for the express accommodation of the 1m migrant, having a tourists' parlor and withal is a veritable paradise for tho weary traveler. Tho office Is receiving a carpeting and all Is be ing made in readiness for the ac commodation of legislators and the public. LOCAL SUMMARY. The Halls Ale 1'iuuluj:. Word is received by tho directors of the street railway that tho rails aro on the road, having been shlp led on Monday last. Thoy will ar rive hero next week, when the work of laying them will bo hastened on to completion. Those who are canvassing for the bonus necessary for the Center street extension report good progress and think they will be able to secure tho $1,000 which Is required by tho com pany, with very little cll'ort. As soon us this bum is raised work will no doubt proceed with tho grading. This will bo a paying lino, as It will reach the thickly populated and resi dent portion of tho city. The Dead Convict. The remains of Robert Cavana, who died at tho penitentiary Thins day, were this morning taken to Huntington bv his motherfor burial. The coffin was inclosed in a zinc covering.

Many lots have been made in this addition to .lollerson In the twenty years, and all defeolH In titles can readily no straightened out now. Iir.it All For I'ruur. In regard to Oregon prunes the St. Paul Press says : "One fact no ticeable In tho present operations of orohardlsts Is the tendency to make prunes their chief crop. It Is be lieved that Oregon prunes aro the best tho world produces. They are altogether beyond eoniparlMiu with tho Kuropoan produut, and oven California doos not claim to be able to grow as good pruuos as Oregon. They bring muoh tho highest prico in tho market." The l'lat or Hills City. Yesterday aftornoon tho Incorpor ators of Mills City presented to tho county clerk for filing a plat of their embryo city on tho Oregon Pacific. After some deliberation tho plat was withdrawn, as it was decided to have tho elty embody a greater scope of land. It will bo returned In a few days for record. This little city is booming, and has a bright future. How Is This For Winter?. L. E.
