Wright, who came here lew than a year ago from Newburg, failed at The Observer office this morning, tnd In conversation stated' that he had sold from a little less than four acres, products for which he received 11200 in cash. Mr. Wright Is prepar ing to engage In the poultry business and soon expects to have about 1000 chickens. He will also plant the bal ance of his 10-acre tract to orchard this spring. Mr. Wright says that he is well satisfied with La Grande. Now a Tremendous Irresistible V r44444444e444444444o4444o444 3I r 1, 5 : ..' 3MSM tf George Primrose, tlio Great Minstrel Man. Nest Monday. Ceorpe rrlmrosc and his big min strel company will play an engage m nt at tin; Steward on Monday, Jan uary 6. Thl.s engagement will again eir-.phas-.l7e the fait thai real minstrel sy I nut dead, as this form of enter tainment Js entirely an American feature, which has gradually drifted away from the Idea of Its originator. There was n time when the public would stand for a so-called minstrel show to nppi ar l;i oriental scenes and costumes, powdered wigs and painted faces, which vas rather charming to look upon, because It was new, but this style having lost Its novelty Is no longer charming and, furthermore, theatergoers now want American min strelsy that Is true to negro life of plantation days and truly a feature of our own country. Mr. Primrose Is the first to furnish this genuine form of amusement, but with modern em bellishments of a kind that enhances the effect. The gaudily bedecked cos tumes and white-face minstrelsy has seen Its day. In Its place has come the merry darkey fun Intermingled with up-to-date songs and humor, led by George Primrose. The Midland Jubilee Singers. This excellent organization of col ored people will give an entertainment it the opera house on Thursday eve itng, January 9, under the auspices of the high school. The club Is said to be the finest college glee club now traveling. They sing the old planta tion songs with that utter abandon which characterizes the negro race. They also sing, music of a more diffi cult type, but there are no Black Pattls among them and no straining liter operatic effects. t; xx XX n t; xx xx v n raw n nv a n Commencing Saturday, Jan.

The 45-candlepower alcohol lamp tried by the Tribune for the past two months Is a complete success. One gallon of alcohol burned 33 days. At (la gallon this Is more economical than kerosene, and at 60 cents a gal Ion Is comparatively nothing. When alcohol is manufactured locally for 30 or 40 cents a gallon. It will be ab solutely the cheapest light known. Pullman Tribune. STEWARD'S OPERA HOUSE D. H. STEWARD.
