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
