Tuii.. AH, more Grey danced to a
small house of appreciative, specta
tors last night. The first part of
her program was rather coldly -received
and did not Intimate any ability
on the part of this gifted little wom
an. She sang a number of songs,
hut her forte is not singing as every
hody soon perceived. But. when she
entered upon the execution ui :
classic dances many people rose to
their feet,: for she is unquestionably
tin artist tn this field.. She is. won
derfully graceful, and her interpre
tations are vivid and charming, ' She
was handicapped by lack of proper
. -. . I H.,0; linth of
lighting etiecv mm muo., - j
which would ' have added materially
to her dancing. Her presentation of
glome was very good but was mark
t, nn f.naf an absence of ordin
ary or extraordinary habilaments. She
nr.ows much training, ana wenv ...
through her parts without a hitch. It
was probably the best dancing : ever
seen in La Grande. ;;
February 20 was last night agreed
upon by Red Cross Lodge No. 27 as
the date for the district convention
f KniVhts of Pvthias to be" held in
this city. The 19th was! discarded
fnr tTia reason that the Golden Jubi
lee celebration throughout the United
States on that day calls for every
lodge being in convention In its own
castle so far as possible. The sched
adoDted last night brings the
annual installation of the Dokey tem
ple in La Grande on that date. , The
exact program depends somewhat on
developments yet to come, but will be
announced in due order. , The es
nt;l fact is rieht now that Feb
ruary 20 has been chosen as the date
tnr tha convention and lor tne in
stallation of the Dramatic Order of
Knights of Korassans. Committees
were appointed last night by H. E.
Dixon, chancellor commander of the
local lode and also . deputy district
chancellor commander. Within a few
days the nature of the work to oe
done in initiatory lines on the date
of the convention will be settled ana
may prove something entirely out
of the ordinary. i ' '
Between 250 and 300 Knights will
be here on that occasion'. '

V OBITUARY.
" Salem , Or., Jan. 13. Startling de
velopments were promised today
when, the prosecutor's office announc
ed that it is practically prepared to
present a strong case at the coming
trial of A. 3. Cooley, accused of murr
dering Thomas Van Pelt near Chetco,
Curry county, Oregon, on February
19, 1898. ;
At the. time of Cooley's arrest in
San Francisco a few. weeks ago, the
impression was given tnat Van Pelt s
assassination was the result of a
local fued, the victim having been
previously accused, though never
brought to trial, of complicity in the
murder of Al Coolidge, said to be the
representing of large fishing interests.
The fact was not brought out, how
that a powerful clique of rich
politicians were said to have been do
minfttinp the Curry county district
by a reign of terror, and that among
their motives was the termination
of independent fishing, that they be
able to monopolize the industry be
tween themselves. Van reit was one
