These usually provoki the mirth of an audience, but are demoralizing to the nerves of the persons at whom they are directed. One of the most amusing of these experiences is told by Comedian William Keller of the "Town Topics" company. The incident occurred in the course of a scene in Richard the Third, ' between Edwin Booth as Richard and Miss Lodusk Young as Lady Anne. Richard offered his sword to Katherire and on bended knee besought her to kill him if Bhe would not pardon the wrongs he had done her. Anne, with the sword in her hand raised her eyes towards the gallery and excluimed. "What shall I do? Direct me heaven." In a boyish voice, the answer came down from one of the nut-strewn seats of "heaven," "stick him." At Shively's opera house, March 27th. Tickets on sale at postofHce. The First Paper, There is in the private office of George T. Clark, the librarian of the San Francisco free public library, and which may be seen upon request, a rare publication, says the San Francisco Call. It is a copy of the first newspaper published on the Pacific coast, and with it are issues of the same paper. It is the Oregon Spectator, the first number of which appeared in Ore City, Or. Ter., Thursday, February B, 1840. It was issued by the Oregou Print ing Company, J. Fleming manager, and edited by W. G. T'Vault. The papers in the collection run from the date of the first issue to and including the 20th of January, 1848. These papers contain much of interest about the early history of Oregon, and they were at one time the property of the Rev. R. E.Parrish. The Oregon Spectator was issued several months before the first California publica tion, which was the California, which first appeared at Monterey on the 15 h of August, 1846. Medical Examiner. Dr. W. E. Carll of Oregon City was last Thursday re-appointed by Gov. Lord as a member of the state board of medical examiners, to succeed himself, for the full term of five years, ending February 28, 1902. Dr. i'arll, it might be interesting to state, is a democrat, but not one of the wild eyed, shouting sort ; he is a sound-money democrat, of which class Oregon still has a very handsome representation.

"My daughter, seventeen years of age, was in very poor health by ' ' reason of weak, longs and a dis- ' tressina; cough. At last we gave her Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral, and after taking three bottles. the cough was cured. She is now in and rapidly excellent health, JU cough is somewhat like the small pebble on tno mountain side. It appears utterly insignificant, until a mouse, perhaps, starts it rolling, and the pebble be gets an avalanche that buries a town. Fatal diseases begin with "a slight cough." But any cough, taken in time, can be cured by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. This testimonial will be foaoa hundred others. Free. Address J. C McDonnell's uuu .uuitwuh, OREGON. : ' The Diphtheria Case. Editor Courier: While we have no desire to take sides in the differences between our local physicians relative to the recent case of diphtheria in this city, the welfare of the community and the tissue of false hoods published in the Press of last week, renders a plain, straiuhtforward statements of the facts absolutely neces sary. Dr. Strickland was first called in the case and pronounced it diphtheria and dispatched to Portland for sufticjent diphtheria antitoxic to treat tle case. In the meantime, Drs. Carll, Somers and Paine, in the absence of the attending physician visited the case and denied that the case was diphtheria. Dr. Strickland learning of the occurence at once telephoned for Dr. E. B. Miller, secretary of the state board of medical examiners, to visit the case. Dr. Miller arrived in a few hours and had no hesti tancy in declaring it diphtheria of very severe form. Dr. Norris of this city and Dr. G. M. Wells, professor of diseases of children, of the medical department of the Uni versity of Oregon, also saw the case and both confirmed the diagnosis of diph theria. . " The patient was given the new diph theria antitoxic, . which is urged ex clusively in diphtheria, and he has coin pletely recovered under that treatment, which itself is a complete vindication of the attending physician in his diagnosis and treatment of the case. One of the dissenting physicians put in circulation the report that he had received a tele phone message from Dr. Miller saying tha' he had upon further consideration come to the conclusion that the rase was not diphtheria. Dr. Miller upon being informed of this false statement im mediaiely wrote Dr. Strickland very emphatically denying it. ' Annual Corporate Meeting.
