PLAY MANY INSTRUMENTS , The De Moss Family Unique Concert ' at the Presbyterian Church.' J The well known De Moss family gave a concert at the Presbyterian church Wednesday evening. ' It is apparently the purpose of the troupe to show how many instruments the members can perform upon, rather than to 'achieve artistic, success upon a few. Each player seemed to be able to handle piano,, violin, double bass, guitar, xylophone, banjo, mandolin, brass horns of all kinds, and in short, any other in strument, with or without strings. Most of the numbers deserved and were accorded encores.' They rendered a number of vocal selec tions, among them, "Sweet Ore gon" a glee of their own composi tion, which they have sung from the Pacific Coast, eastward across the continent, over the Atlantic and in various parts of Europe. William Tell, rendered with four violins, and double bass and piano was their first and by far their best selection. . A xylophone mel ody with all the six members of the "company handling the " sticks '"in a meritorious composition by George De Moss was a - popular number and was stormilv ' encored. An other performance that caught the audience was a melody correctly and prettily rendered with piano and banjo - accompaniment by George De Moss and his sister, using ordinary- cow and sheep bells of small size. . The effect was pleas ing and was greeted with a- vigor ous recall. , George De Moss, who . with his sister, is apparently . the musical genius of the party, performed , the almost impossible trick of playing two cornets at the same time, play ing the air with one and the alto with the other. ' The party is travelings in Oregon again after an absence of several years, during which they have been playing in the East, most of the time, on the other side of the Alleghany mountains. A TOUGH CITY. The Following is From Tuesday's Eugene Guard. v Chas Conner, who has just re-J turned frcm Seattle, says that city is the toughest place at present that he ever saw. The sheriff of King county has 145 prisoners jailed at present, ten of them being for mur der. ;- ; The reason of this is because the city is overrun with broken gamb lers, pimps, and lewd women who eannot get away from Seattle be cause they have no money and they cannot do business because of the strict enforcement of the law. ' The result is , almost absolute lawless ness. '. .2 '. to come back to OAC the first of next year. If he doesn't bring a body guard, he may fetch along a wood en leg to have handy in case of emergency. . - j j Unitarian Services. Rev. W. G. Elliot.
