seem, to be getting along very nicely,
and from all appearances are amassing
a comfortahle amount of coin. Many
persons apparently regard it as real
devil-may-care to attend this "com
pany's presentations, for one always
expects that there will be a riot at
some time during the performance.
It is much the same, as the popular
ity of daring feats In the circus, the
audience always has a-sneaking ex
pectation of seeing someone badly
"mussed up." although they would not
admit it. even to themselves, for the
world.
At the most recent first night of this
company. Bynse'g "The Shadow of the
Glen" was produced. There Is abso
lutely nothing In It to stir up ani
mosity, but a number of professional
Irishmen In the galleries took occasion
to Jeer the actors and laugh at speeches
not intended to be humorous. The
police were not called out. but the inci
dent showed the odd mental condition
of somo of our local residents.
It Is Interesting to note that an aver
age of five men a night appear at the
theater, to ask if "Mr. Synge' ) with
the company, and where he can be
found. Frequently they confide their
reason for wanting to commune
with him, the most popular ex
planation being that they want "to
knock hla block off." Invariably it Is
a surprise to them to learn that he has
been dead for some time.
People May Stand la Tkeaters.
The Tammany Board of Aldermen,
which becomes a minority after next
week, created much comment during
Its last hours by passing a theater
standing ordinance. Under the fire
laws heretofore In force no one was
allowed to stand In a local .theater, ex
cept the ushers and the manager. If
anybody else tried it the city fireman
detailed to the house promptly got
busy. The result has been that some
big successes have found their receipts
cut down. In some cases the loss
amounting to fully 300 a night.
The new law provides that any num
ber of persons or rows of persons may
stand In the rear of the seats on the
orchestra floor, provided that a space
six feet wide be kept clear when the
wnole open space measures IS feet or
lesb. If there Is more than 16 feet of
space, 10 feet must be kept clear. One
row of standees Is allowed In the gal
leries, where as a usual thing the space
behind the seats Is very much con
tracted. The theater managers naturally re
gard this as . an. excellent law, but
a loud outcry has been raised In cer
tain circles, and an effort will be made
to repeal it. as soon as the new. board
of aldermen take office. As the meas
ure was passed by a strictly party
vote, all Democrats for It and all the
Republicans againt it. the surface In
dications are that with the change of
political authority It will be repealed,

STIRRING DAYS OF ROGUE
RIVER WAR DESCRIBED
Carson C. Masiker, of Hood River, Recalls Time When Indians' Outbreak
Drove Settlers to Haven at Burdens.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Dec. 23. (To the
Editor.) I noticed In a recent is
sue of The Weekly Oregonlan a
cut of the block house erected at old
Fort Yamhill, and a short sketch con
cerning lt. When the Rogue River War
broke out, In 1855. my people were liv
ing about a mile east of where the fort
was built, In what was caljed the Bur
den settlement. One evening Just be
fore dark we saw father coming home
on horseback, and he was riding so
much faster than he was accustomed to
doing that we knew something .unusual
Was on hand.
As he approached the house he waved
his hand and we all startedout to the
gate to meet him. but he called out:
"You children go back to the house."
Mother went to the gate and he said
something to her In an undertone that
we did not hear. He then rode rapidly
to the barn. Mother ran into the house
and began throwing things around in
a lively manner and soon had several
bundles made tip. Father hitched a
team to the wagon as soon as he could,
and drove up to the door. They threw
the bundles Into the wagon, piled us
children on top of the bundles and
started. Of course, we wanted to know
what was up. but were told only that
we were going over to Levi Burden's.
When we got there we found a large
part of the people of the settlement
there. We remained there for about
three weeks, and then our family moved
down into the settlements near Amity,
where we remained until the fort was
builC when we returned home. A year
er two later Calapoola Sam and his band
left the reservation and camped In
Horseshoe Bend. There was a large
footlog at the toe of the horseshoe and
early one morning Captain D. A. Russel
(killed at Winchester In 1804), Bent a
small detachment of soldiers to hold
that footiog. while the main command
made a detour, passing in sight of our
house, and'drew up In line across the
heel of the horseshoe. Lieutenant For.
sythe. who was In command then, di
rected Lieutenant Phil Sheridan to go
Inside the line and summon the Indians
to surrender. Phil went to Sam's wicki
up and a'.ked in. Sam raised up In
bej and grabbed for his gun, which lay
alongside of his bed. but Phil got hold
of lt first. Sam could speak some Eng
lish, and as he reached for his gun he
said: "What the hell you doin' here?"
Phil clubbed the gun and gave Sam a
good drubbing with 4t, saying. "I'll
show you what I'm doing here." After
giving Sam a good thrashing, Phil told
him to get up and tell his tribe to sur
render, and he did so with an alacrity
that did credit to his understanding.
One Indian, however, started to run.
and was shot: another started a war
dance, and he was shot. They then
gave up their guns and were- escorted
hack to the reservation. It was time
some restraint was being put on them,
for they were becoming saucy and some
of the settlers were uneasy about them,
as they still had their guns.

"He has already arranged for a Sum
mer season with a week off before
Lent, Just to polish up, you know.
"Does father get any sleep? Well,
a little. He has shaken all his women
admirers who were pestering him, with
the exception of one English woman,
who keeps one eye on him and the
other on the box office receipts. But
father really does not care for her."
All of which is interesting to Oscar's
many friends on this side of the
water.
John Newland had built a small cabin
near our place, and had provided him
self with a barrel of whisky. He was
selling to the soldiers, and it was
thought also to the Indians. Anyway,
the Indians knew lt was there, and one
day, when Newland was away, a band
of Indians came there, broke In the
door, took an ax and chopped a hole in
the top of the barrel and helped them
selves to the whisky, making a great
noise and yelling lustily.
The saloon was never restocked and
the Indians made no more trouble.

OLD LETTERS TO BE SOLD
Manuscripts of Famous Women Are
on Market at Leipzig.
BERLIN, Dec. 23. (Special.) A
number of letters written by famous
women of the past are to he sold at
Leipzig, when the second half of the
Geibel autograph collection is to be
placed on the market. Among the tlmc
stained manuscripts are missives by
Ninon de l'Enclos, Catherine II of Rus
sia, the Countess of Llchtenau, whose
life was Intimately wrapped up with
that of Frederich Wilhelm II, and Mme.
Talllen. Several of the letters, it is
said, give interesting glimpses Into
odd 'corners of the lives of these cele
brities, as well as into their amiable
defects of grammar, spelling and
punctuation.
A letter of Ninon de l'Enclos, ad
dressed with no petty scruples about
capitalization "A monsieur de monre
pau, a la cour," bears the one-word
signature. "Lanclos," suggesting a na
tive sympathy for the cause of sim
plified spelling. An almost Indecipher
able letter of Mme. Tallien relates to
her marriage with the Prince de Chl
may, while a note by Catherine of
Russia, written in a bold, masculine
hand, directs the administrator of an
estate to give out 2000 rubles for do
mestic furnishings.
Disease-Producing Cats.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The "fireside sphinx," as poets call
the family cat, has again come in for a
berating by the health department, or,
rather, owners of the aforesaid animal
who do not encourage it to be strictly
aristocratic in Itg tendencies have in
curred the distinction.
A case wag reported in Chicago last
week where the Angora cat was per
mitted to associate with the calf in the
barn and contracted a skin disease
thereby. The cat f fected the favorite
child of the household, who was In the
habit of carrying It ahont and fondling
it. and now both child and cat are under
treatment. - '
