"Ten Nights in a Bar Room. "
At the City Hall last Wednesday night
there was quite a large audience to witness
the "Ten Nights in a Bar-room" played by
amateur performers from Philomath, who
came here for the special purpose of per
forming this play. Ihe characters were
quite well represented for amateur per
formers. A large portion of the audience
would have been pleased to hare listened
more attentively to the performance had
they not been prevented from doing so by
the misbehaved and unruly hood'.ums who
are ever present on such occasions to pre
rent others from enjoying a quiet respecta
ble entertainment. This hoodlum element
ranges from small boys up to some wbo
mvhl to consider themselves large enough
and old enough to be men instead of mis
behaved snobs wbo seem not to respect the
rights, pleasures or comforts of anything
else except discord, confusion, disobedience
and disrespect to all law and order of every
kind. Many parents, who on such occa
sious are quietly at home by their family
fireside expecting their boys are following
the ways of decency and respectability, lit
tie think that their boys are. at some public
gatheiing disturbing everybody else and
acting the part of a most degraded hoodlum,
and thus taking the first steps onward to
ward the gallows or to a felon's cell. Boys
who are permitted to run loose and respect
not the pood advice of their parents or the
respectability and order of society have no
respect for their parents, or other peoplejand
if not checked will grow up with disrespect
and disobedience of the laws f ths country
in which they live, and from this class of
hoodlums is where springs our cut throats,
road agents, penitentiary convicts and all
of the low and debased order of criminals.

Closing out Bale.
The closing out sale at C. H. Whitney's
is attracting many buyers who are attracted
by the very low' prices actual cost for
goods. This is a genuine closing out sale
and as the stock is a well selected one and
first-class, the people should not fail to im
prove the opportunity.
Last Sunday night officer MeLagan dis
covered what would have been a first-class
file in a very short time. The tire had
caught in a small building adjoining the
barn of Mr. Albright, but jras easily ex

It is supposed mat it originated irom a

The Sti tes of Iowa, Indiana, Michigan,

ed by sturdy farmers, stockmen, dairymen,
etc. Mr. Carlisle saw the uselessness of
setting forth the advantages of the country
individually to every person, and hit upon
addressing the crowd collectively. In a
few minutes all had concluded to settle in
Oiegon. Twenty-three tickets were issued
to Southern Oregon, of which seven were
for the round trip. One-half of the people
will leave for their destination to-day.
Quite a number will remain here in the

Advertising Oregon.
One would naturally suppose with all the
united and individual efforts which for
years have been so constantly and industri
ously put forth to advertise Oregon to the
world, th,it this st t ought, by this time,
to be pretty well known throughout the
Atlantic, southern and western state'.
But it seems, notwithstanding the conjoint
efforts of boards of trade, bureaus of infor
mation and immigration societies, whose
principal purpose has lieen to scatter broad
cast the seeds of knowledge concerning
Oregon, its climate, soil, resources, etc.,
etc., the most opaque ignorance still ap
pears to prevail in regard to the state.
A gentleman who has just returned from
an extended trip to the east and south ex

grets at the prevailing ignorance, lie says
a Very imperfect, and, in most instances,
an incorrect impression exists about Oregon,
its soil, geographical relations, resource.
and especially its climate. A very genera':
belief prevails that Oregon is a dreadfully
cold place; that the snow falls to a great
depth, and the winters are very rigorous
I equal in duration to those of the western
j and northern states. This idea has been
greatly strengthened bv the reports of the
blockade of last winter

a local immigration society, haying for its
object the issuance of printed information,
the appointment of the local agent to give

Is It Not True? There can be no argu
ment as to the qualities essential to a per
fect remedy for the ills arising from a dis
ordered or iuactive condition of the Liver,
Stomach and Bowels. Everyone will admit
that it should be perfectly safe for old and
young of both sexes, at any and all times;
that it should be acceptable both to the
taste and the stomach ; that it shonld never
fail to act promptly and thoroughly yet
painlessly, and should give strength to those
organs. It is now well known that Syrup

Washington, March 26th, 1885.
The new foreign Ministers have been the
chief subject of criticism and political gossip
this week at the Capitol. Some of the ap
pointments were received with surprise,
most of them wi :li astonishment, and a few
of them wit h disgust from certain Demo
cratic politicians, whom the policy of the
new administration has begun to make sick.
One of the most important nominations in
the gift of the government, the British mis
sion, goes to Mr. Phelps, an unknown quan
tity in the political equation. And to se
lect him from dyed-iu-the-wool republican
Vermont, is in the eyes of the Democratic!
contents, a violation of one ot the axioms of
statecraft. Senator Pendleton's appoint
ment was no surprise, except that he wan
not expected to gc to Berlin. Gov. McLane
had not been publicly spoken of for France,
and General Williams was intended for the
Mexican mission instead of General Jackson.
Lastly, Hon. L S. Cox goes to Turkey, al
though he was not expected to go anywhere
but to Congress, where he has been going
tor a succession of terms. Mr. Cox made no
secret of his weariness of Congressional life,
and his new appointment is just to his liking ,
Some ofHhe'thwarted Democratic politi
cians affect now to feel no interest in the
nominations to be sent in, saying that the
President is sure to name for every place
some one they have heard of before, and
the sensation of surprise has ceased to be a
novelty.
It is true that many office seekers have
gone disgusted, but new one come every
day, and they cannot be said to be scare in
Washington, so long as one man has calls
from three hundred applicants per day, as
in the case of Mr. Atkins, the new com
missioner of Indian affairs. Still an ac
knowledged office seeker isliard to be found.
They are affecting modesty. The latest
method for an ex-member of Congress who
is after a place is to get bis friends to circu
late the statement that they cannot tret him
to make an effort for anything. This is ex
pected to be effective with the new admin
istration. The Kentucky and Indiana delegations
are thoroughly disgusted at the way thiags
are going, and the Vice President is much
dissatisfied with what he deems sentimental
civil service. Malcontents are increasing
every day, and between the tariff reformers,
the incensed silver men, and the civil ser
vice anti-refor?rs, there threatens to be a
strong combination against Mr. Cleveland
and his advisers.
A Democrat Congressman said yesterday
that all this talk about Prerident Cleveland
being so independent and 11011 partisan was
sheer nonsense. "Why" continued he,
"t i- indepei.d t President is mn by a little
clique composed of Randall. Gonoan, Man
ning and H'jwitt. These men have his ear at
all times." It is strictly true that Messrs.
II n -all and Gorman ca 1 at the White
ouse every day, and it is noticed that they
lie ereeud their cards in as other pu opie
are reqnir-d to do,
Ex-Revi eswit.tti ve Money of Mississippi,
who bt fail to be Postmaster General, and
then fell short of the first Assistant Post
moster General's place is among those who
are real mad at the President for bis manner
of dispensing of official patronage. He says
that Mr. Cleveland is bent on Satisfying hig
personal inclinations.
Yesterday I heard a Tiepnhlican Congress
man congratulate a Democratic member of
the House on the fact of his starting home,

fixed up speedily. It is not that replied
the other, but I have come to the conclusion
that a Democrat has no influence with this
1 administration. When Mr. Landall takes
every occasion to make some taunting re
mark to the effect that only thwarted place
hunters grumble; and thus the happy Dem
ocratic family have set ont on their four
years cruise.
In Department circles the absorbing topic
is the work of trio recently appointed Treas
ury investigation commission. Information
as to the eourse to be pursued in reference
to a reduction of the clerical force is eagerly
sought. The committee is considered a fa,r
and disinterested one, but large reductions
are sure to be recommended.
Changes in the heads of the Treasury
bureaus are coming one by one. The first
Comptroller and several other important
officials have been superceded this week,
and the prediction is made that all the Treas
ury heads will he changed as rapidly as the
President and Mr. Manning can decide upon
their successors.
