UlttttbiO BiteB LOCAL RECORD Nye and Burbank.. The four or five hundred people who were at the opera house last evening got what they went lor. They saw and heard the most noted bald headed humorist of the present age, Edgar William Nye, which is worth the b'g price of admission any day. Many people had made up their mind to be disappointed, circus like. They certain ly bad no occasion to be. Nye's lecture, or whatever it may be called, for his talks are spliced in between Burbank's. are fully as good as his writing, in fact are the same, without the illustrations, not very much to either of value, The illustrations are offset, though, by a cemetery like delivery, in a small, boyish voice, which reaches the farther gallery with difficulty, making the values about equal. Nye's hnmor is principally ex aggeration. illustrated by the man whose feet were so big that he had to pull his boots off at the cross roads, merely lias. As a matter of fact tins la not real humor nor wit, and vit it tickles the American 1 I X1 1 ! . . L. . A J : puise. Him ye is prince 01 sue inuniu this line. The crowd Unghs became it went to laugh . Ther ia only one Bill Nye, though. In a very few years there will not lie even one. There will be some other fad- We make this statement not to detract from Uie show ; bnt in order to get somewhere near the troth. Bur bank is an elocutionist of great merit, a fine character delineator. His pieces present a stability to the entertainment and their presentation ia certainly a treat. Hia Rip Van Winkle is particu larly good. "The Second Trial," a beau tiful thine, he gives a wroug conception, by giving it a humorous cast in a few iaces, where there should be none. Hie 'Love in Oyster Bay" brings out his talent in a nurrked manner. Aa a whole Burbank gives a show himself. Will Bb Dismissed. A San Francisco dispatch says: f he clerk of the United States circuit court of appeals has re ceived information of the government's intention to dismiee its case against the Willamette valley a; cascade wagon Road Company. The 'ase is one of sev eral of the same character in which the gove nment sought to recover targe tracts of lands in Oregon, which had been granted by the United States to aid the construction of wagon roads. The gov ernment claimed that the toads were not constructed in accordance with the act of congress making the grants, and that th patents to lands were obtained by fraud. The defense of the corporations which now owu the lands was that they pur- based in good faith from the original grantees without knowledge of tbe fraud. This defense was sustained by the su preme court a few weeks ago in the cases against tbe California A Oregon Land Company, and The Dalles Military Road Company, and in view of that decision tbe government considers it useless to prosecute ita appeal in the remaining The Kill-boards and store windows are decorated with some of the hadd tom es t paper ever seen in this city, announc ing the appearance here of Richard a rringle s Famous Georgia Minstrels at the opera house next Thursday evening.March 30th, when they will present a novel pro gram, given by the leading performers of the minstrel werld.

Richards a Pringle's Georgia Minstrels gave an excellent entertainment to a targe audience at Metropolitan Hall last even ing. The Georgia 1 have no weak place. when the Kersand' mouth yawned the audience fell back in alarm . but it quietlt recovered to laugh at Jas Croshy , one of the cleverest Ethopian comedians in the country. The Black Paul gave a wonder ful impersonation of female character. A very neat act wa the drill and staging of the Pullman Car Porter.

TRIE ABSKaVAMKtr 5 This matter of county assessment is one of the most vital of the day. It strikes heme. Eqaality is what ia want ed ; that ie that every county be ssnssiij alike. This annual raise by a state board of equalisation ia very aggravating, par ticularly aa Linn roanly already has a higher assessment thau many counties -The following from the Salem Independ ent is local and interesting on the subject .- D D Coffey has five dsDnties to aaasat him in making the smcsmicot of the county. Work baa fairlv commenced, and the blanks are being rapidlv filled out. Mr Coffey has made visits to tbe different counties in tbe valiev foi tbe purpose of ascertaining the oninion of different assessors on a method of assess ment. During this trio he haa viaitad Lane, Linn, Polk, Benton and Mu'. tno mah counties. He eays that in none of tbeae counties will real property be taken at more than fifty per cent of ita supposed cash value and that he haa given hia deputtee instructions to aaseis it at fifty per cnt. Although some of toe assesa ore in counties south of us talked of lower rate, the general impression is that me majority of eaaee it will he filly percentum. Horses wiil be rated at 70 percent of tbe valne given in by owners. -aine one year old will be rated at . a head, two years o'd at sr. rows at S12. and all other cattle over two years old. at 60 per cent of the value given in by owner. Sheeo will be valued at SI 50 a head and hogs over six months old at $2 per head. Hogs rnder six months old will uot be assessed. M r Coffey says that the Linn county assessor told him that he intended tak ing ali notes and book accounts at their ao value, but Mr Coffey says that he haa given hi deputies instructions to use their own ludgment in th matter and and only take these notes and a-counta at their lace value whoee owners con aider them adequately secured. arraia bishti Geo AgostesSala. the well-known English writer, 00 his last Anstralian trip, wrote as follows to The London Daily Telegraph: "I especially have a pleasant remember - aoce c 1 roe snip s doctor a vary experienced maritime meaioo indeed, who tended ms most kindly daring s horrible spell of bron cbittt and spasmodic asthma, provoked by me 1 ea log woion Bad swooped down on us just after we left Sao Franciseo Bat the doc tor s p ssonpttoogsad the increasing warmth 01 the temperature aa weneared ths Tropica, ami, in particular, a couple jtiioooa roroua Plaatr r clapped on one on the cheat aod another between the shoulder blade scon ret ms right.

Washington, March 20, 1893 I resident Cleveland was fifty-six years old Saturday, and his numerous callers did not forget to tender congratulations and "many happy return." The day was not celebrated in any way at the Wbife House, unless the unusually hard days work put in by the president and his assistants can be called a celebration. That tbe rule against the appointment of ex-officials is not an iron-clad affair was demonstrated when Representative Springer, of Illinois, at the , head of a delegation, presented the name of Mr Ij w Chambers, who was postmaster at Jasksonviile. HI, under Mr Cleveland's last administration, as a candidate for reap pointment. The president at once re minded Mr Springer of tbe one term rule. "But Mr President," replied Mr Springer, "this is an exceptional case. Mr Chambers was the best postmaster the town ever had and the citizens generally wish him reap pointed. Besides, he was not allowed to serve out his term." "Ah," replied M Cleveland, "that makes quite a difference Please put the facts in writing and submit to me." Hia thoroughness with everything that comes before him is what surprises those who come in contact with President Cleve land more than any other one trait in bis character. A case in point came under my personal observation several days ago. The president made an appointment setting a time early the next morning to hear an ap -peal for executive clemency for a condemn ed murderer, whose crime tbe deliberate murder of bis young wife and her brother was one of the most brutal ever committed in Washington. At the time tbe president knew little more about tbe ease than that a last appeal to tbe supreme court of the United States in behalf of the prisoner had failed a day or two before, but he sent for a complete record of the case and when be met those who came to make the appeal be was as familiar with the cast) as they were, although he had been compelled to remain up nearly all night to acquire the knowl edge. Of course they were surprised to find all of their arguments so well met by tbe president, but after seeing how thor oughly posted he was on the case they wars not surprised at his refusal to interfere with the carrying out of the sentecce. This is only one case, bnt it furnishes' a fair sample of the methods of the president. It wa. because be did not possess the knowl edge about Hawaii that he deemed neces sary to intelligent action that the treaty was withdrawn from tbe senate and ex Congressman Blount sent to Hawaii in search of the desired information. He is nerer'precipitate in anything: hence his reputation for making few mistake-, aad for being a safe man. So many ataissliiaul stories have been told and printed during the hut week about the president being disappointed at the commiltea Btaitwaeata A the senate, and about tnose assignment having beeta made by a majority of the democratic caucus in defiance ofJMr Cleveland's wishes, that I have taken special ear to obtain tbe senti ment of the democratic senators regarding those stories. As tbe result it cam be posi tively stated that the president made no attempt to interfere in the slightest manner with the committee assignments, which were made in the usual way. in accordance with the wishes of a majority of the demo cratic senatorial caucus; therefore he could not have been disappointed. There can be no doubt that the president regrets that S n social views of a majority of the demo cratic senators do not entirely accord with hi own, but neither be nor they anticipate any clash on that account, as all good dem ocrats have precisely tbe same end in view the prosperity of the country: and that a legislilive program can be arranged op m which all can unite is not doubted in either the WbifefHouse or the senate. Rey:eeoUiivf nSoe, of Teanesee. who has for a long time been fighting the many abase for which Pension Commissioner Raum was responsible, has the satisfaction of knowing that he wa directly the cause of Rsum't resignation being ask ed for aad re ceived by Sec. Smith. Mr Enloe has no candidate lor tbe office; all be wished was to see Raum "fired oat" of the office which he has In various ways disgraced aad he did not ran unlit that was an accomplished fact. It is tape led that the new democratic Com missioner of Penstoas will be sppotnted with in the neat two weeks. Meanwhile, Depu ty Commissioner Davidson is acting head o the Bureau. A to the new man, Secretary Smith says he i determined to get the best man in the country for the place. -The right son of a man at the Lead of tbe Pension Bu reau will have an unexcelled opportom'y to make a national reputation, by saving some of the millioa that as annual ly squandered upon frauduleo' and undeserving pensioners, and that' tbe sort of a man who will be selected . Secretary Morton has started in well. One of hi first official acts was the dismissal of forty-odd employee whose work be consid ered unnecessary. lNTtUKSTlNU FACTS.

At the first presidential election, the states were entitled to 73 votes, but only 69 votes were cast New York did not vote because she had not passed her electoral taw, and Rhode Island did not, because she had not yet adopted tbe constitution.

There are bills before several of the leg i slat -ore of western states forbidding the marriage of first cousin There may be these legislature member who are com petent enough scientists to pass judgment upon the effect? of the marriage of cousins but if so the world bat not heard of them A scientist we'l known to the whole world. none other than Charles Darwin, who marie the subject of inherited tendencies t life long study, looked into this matter of the marriage of cousins and concluded that the prejudice against it was nothing bat a an perstition: and that if the stock was gtod such marriages were likely to produce off spring which would inherit the vigor 0 their parent.

Tae moon and its phases have always been supposed by star-garert and others to have a great deal to do with the fortunes and affairs of the people ef the earth Now, however, it is proposed to add to their im portance by holding them responsible for tbe appetites of tbe fishes of the sea. Ac cording to a veteran continental angler who has recently given to the world the results of hit observations, fishes bite most freely daring the four or five days after the moon's first quarter, while from tbe third day after tbe last quarter to tbe second day before tbe nsw aaoon the sport is at its worst. One of the advantages of a wet time in spring is for the farmer to learn where are the places in his field thai most need drain inc. It may seem to one who look at n large stagnant pond that takes weeks to dry out that only a very large and cxpen aive drain oaa suffice to remove its surplus water. But a three or four inch tile sunk three feet or more under ground will take away a large pond in a few hours. There is a capacity for a greater amount of water in a small tile than most people imagine. Tbs deeper it is sunk the better it wii drain, provided there is always a good out let. All the soil to the surface from the bottom of tbe tile is kept porous by its withdrawal of water. Yet such is the ad vantage of underdrawing, being more porous, it will bold more water without being stagnant than it could if no drain were there. A waiting world has been relieved by the glad tidings tnat Governor McKinley debts are paid by an admiring and wealth laden populace, without sacrifice of his costly persona' trappings. Contribution weie made, suv the dispatches, in sums ranging from one to five thousand dollars When the average man harmless as he is, gets into debt every other man seems to have some claim or grudge against him and certainly none offer to donate the thousands te assist him. But with He ' Kiniey it is different; evidently there exists in this country ninety -hve tnousand dollar worth of admiration for a man who was used ss a tool for the monopolists In the passage of the tariff law by which many times ninety-five thousand dollars have been taken from labor and given to th who toil not. It is my knowledge of the financial condition and my belief in the good sense of tbe common people lead me to suppose, from tbe monopolists that this donation comes.
