of milk, administered at Intervals; a
her only diet. Twice in the hospital,
she was under the surgeon's knife.

' The best played piece that las
been seen ia Corvallls In years, was
"Are You a MasoL?" at the Opera
house Wednesday night. It was also
oue of tbe most popular attractions as
well as tbe beet patronized. Tb au
dience was unusually large as well as
unusually demonstrative In its ap
proval ot the many ludicrous scenes.
The financial success of tbe venture
has caused the management to de
termine to continue the policy of
bringing first-class attractions to Cor
vallls, and an arrangement with that
end in view has been taken up with
managers in Seattle and Portland. .
