A WORTHY CHARACTER.
Edgewood is the name of a New England
village and the ''folks" are some of its in
habitants. The action concerns itself with
the experience ot a young clergyman settled
in Edgewood whom certain wicked sehemera
seek to despoil of a magnificent inheritance
and whose fortunes are defended and saved
through the counterplot of a devoted friend.
The latter character, Tom Dilloway, being
performed by Mr. Heywood who assumes
several disguises and exhibits ingenuity and
seal, together with a clever talent for im
personating, The qualities that impress'
and attract in this gentleman's ' acting are
sincerity, amiability, teuderness and play
ful humor. Mr. Heywood's "Tom Dillo
way" is a creation and is full enough of
changes to satisfy a lover of pantomime and
has manliness has enough about it to please
a bishop.

The entertainment of the ladies'

everjing of Saturday, March 4th, is
looked forward to with great anticipa
tions by this public. The history of
this faithful help-mate of the fire guar
dians is well known, through their suc
cession of noble deeds during the past
10 years of the organization's exis
tence. Through all this time they
have been helpful workers tried and
true; have stood ready and unflinch
ing in every hour of danger; have beeu
elevating and encouraging in their
moral influence; and independent and
self-sustaining in the management ol
their organization. Now they want
aid to furnish their new hall. Char
acteristic of their old time spirit of
self-helpfulness they have adopted this
method of exchanging benefits with
their friends of giving value leceived
for the funds their entertainment will
bring. The public recoguizes their
claims. It will respond en mass to
their worthy solicitation. . The enter
tainment will consist of a tambourine

acters is as follows:

The other day as the charitable mis

ing his regular rounds he met a young
man mounted upon a bicycle upon
which he smoothly glided along with
a big package of dressed chickens dune
up in a paper under one arm. There
was nothing about tho occurrence to
attract the editor's attention hud he
not noticed that the unconscious
wheelman had left a sort of surveyor's
line of chicken giblets behind him,
over which a gaunt-bosomed canine,
arrayed in a swallow-tailed appetite
was having a picnic ana doing his
prettiest to trace it up to the last sta
tion. The dog,- for once, was ianng
m,ercifuliy well, but the editor mused

The members of the musicale were
entertained at tho residence of Mr.
and Mrs. F. M. Johnson, on Wednes
day evening at which time a very in
teresting programme was rendered, it
was a sort of a variegatd evening,
from the fact that the lives of several
composers were studied instead of one,
as has been the practice heretofore.
Miss Hattie Friendly s interesting ac-
count of the hie and compositions of
Vou Weber, was deserving of special
mention, as was also the sketch of
Coucone's life by Miss Louisa Weber.

THE MARINE MINSTRELS.
A good house greeted these young
gentlemen at the apera house Wednes
day evening, and supported them with
rounds of appreciative encouragement.
The boys did first rate.' Their display
upon the stage was aliout equal to the
average; their sallies of minsf rel
comicality, bristled with local hits' that
provoked great merriment; while in the
role of graver numbers' several were
presented of real merit. The opening
overture, by the full company was well
rendered. Stoudenmeyer's solo per
formance upon the cornet led in ex
cellence, and his side partner, Mc
Lyman called down the house with his
violin ''Mocking Bird," Weaver
swung himself in good shape over the
resonant chords of the banjo, the
most "niggahly" looking corker in the
outfit and little Ray, the juvenile
moke, sang the best song of the even
ing. Fisher, did some creditable tum
bling and Keady swung the clubs in a
dextrous style. Among the cutting
gags, the unkindest cut of all was that
presided over by George Paul, the
inimitable imper&ont r of "Cr Hi
jinks the cullu 1 lecturer," when he
spanked the iotas on the table too hard
with his umbrella and the flying wash
dish took him a severe cut over the
eye. This feature . wasn't down on
the programme and it had the enact of
knocking out the afterpiece of the eve
ning bccr.use of the disablement of the
star. All in all the performance was a
creditable one, and that the commun
ity takes a pilde in its histrionic talent
was evidenced by the good substantial
support they gave the entertainment.
THE K. OF P. PARTY.
More than G00 - people were guests
of Valley lodge K. of P. at the opera
house, last Friday evening. Never
were patrons of royalty more hand
somely entertained.' The audience re
ceived with high favor and outbursts of
applause the stage exercises, which
though brief were meritorious and
tastefully selected.
J. O. Wilson actd as master of
ceremonies. J. Fred Yates delivered a
neat address of welcome; Thun came
a vocal solo by Miss Lou, Burnett, a
violin solo by Ruthuin Turney, fol
lowed by more vocal music by Miss
Addio Davenport. E-ich performer
was called to the fore by encore and
thus doubled up the melodious num
beas. -
Tho most interesting part of the
programme, however, chiuo when the
hall had bted cleared of its seats aud
lovers of the mazzv dance- joined in
their graceful rounds of enjoyment,
which were continued until the "we
suia' hours," foroiing one of the pleas
ing events of the saason. The Knights
have tho compliments of this social
realm. Their success in this their an
niversary festival is heartily congratu
lated. SENATOR CUOSNO.
Hon. C. B. Crosno was a guest at
the Occidental hotel on Monday last,
en route to his home iu Lincoln county.
The cares and labors of his 40-days'
services at the state capital seem to
have left no impress upon Senator
Crosno's form or feature. He bore
himself erect, weil preserved, the em
bodiment of frank coiuteousness and
good humor and in the composure of
one who enjoys tho consciousness
of having done his duty for all con
cerned as nearly as any man could do
so.

A MODEL 8PRING DAY.
Last Sunday was a beautiful day.
Its air was soft and balmy and its
sunlight just clear enough to be genial
and alluring, just tempered with fleecy
cloud-veils sufficient to make the bril
hinfc intervals more intense and ap
preciable. Toward evening ihe city
was all astir. Her "beauty and her
chivalry, grave and gay, pert and par
ticular, frivolous . and sanctimonious,
robust and delicate "everybody" took
a little swing out into the pure, ?zone
and drank health aud vigor from the
great laboratory of nature's ambient
emolient-ah. Great applause. The
scene presented was really one to cheer
'and encourage. Heaven's blessing is
the portion of those who can revel
out in the inimitable pleasures of an
Oregon spring time; God pity the
poor invalid who is shut in from its
benificence and its glories.
If Kansas keeps on cutting up such
capers as she did Jast week, the Ila
waiians . -will be justified in coming
over and establishing a protectorate
over Kansas. - By the way, what kind
of a combination would Lease and
Lilli make, anyhowt

THE INJUNCTION BUSINESS.
Touching the matter of injunctions
against the Wy of the state board ol
equalization, Tuesday eveuiu'ir Salem
journal contained this item: "The tax;
levy for the state is not yet made.
Upon motion of attorney General
Chamberlain a demurrer was sustained
in the Multnomah circuit court to the
suit brought to enjoin tle state board
from levying under the increased val
uation of mortgages as equalized bv
the boars of equalization. No appeal
had been taken up to - today, and the
state levy will probably be - made as
soon as the board can meet. Stat
warrants ura not beiug cashed at pres
ent and state funds w ill not be availa
ble tor some time. But warrants are
at par." -
In Benton county the tax situation
stands jnst as immovably as it did
three weeks ago. . The injunction
brought here has blocked completely
the wheels of the revenue raising ma
chinery, the rolls not having been ex
tended to conform with the work of
the State board nor can anything b
done in the matter of collections until
r.lll cmr. ic rl,r-iLi'l na ...it. '.-v.. U
other.
Judge HufTord has done evcrythiner
in his power to bring about a speeds
settlement.' Himself an attorney he
has framed an answer" to tho order, and
long since notified both tho attorney
general and Judg Fullerton with a
request for their early attendance to
give the case a hearing. He had
hoped that the matter could be reached
last week, but was advised by Judge
Fullerton that the latter was detained
by a press of urgent business, in his
own county.
Meantime Judge Hufford has every
thing in readiness so that when the
officials do come, the matter can go to
adjudication without delay, and bn
disposed of quickly as possible to llu:
end that collection of taxes may bo
reached. It has been tho aim of local
attorneys to have a thorough test ol
th case on constitutional grounds an !
Judge Hufford, in his answer, is said
to have carefully produced all (he law
lie could bring to bo"ar upon the cas- .
calculated to give it a fair and search
ing test.
Is is to bo hoped the question may
soon be settled. It is getting m'ghtv
monotonous; it is holding the county's
nose right down to the "grin'1 stone;
locking what liltle money there is up
from circulation: dintrnp.iiniT nnblii.
credit and everybody's else hingeing
upon it; and piling upon the county a
big interest account which would not
have existed had taxes been collected
in the usual manner.
Looking at the subject from the
standpoint of general principles, it ap
pears as if revenue affairs of tlii
country are conducted upon about a;,
substantial a basis as that upon which
two ten-year old kids usually play
marbles. It's a continual j uigle, a
"fudge," a gouge and "I shan't play
lhat way;" and a break up in a row,

"Another good man has gor '
wrong." Tne prurient tongue of scan
dal has had, during the past week, a
salacious morsel over which to roll u-'
fetid tittle-tattle-ation. W. B. Stou'
and the widow Wagner of Newpon
are the principals.- Their conduct
was criminal. Stout's own daughtc-t
discovered the state of affairs and made '
the exposure. It happened during
tne absence of her mother on a visit in
Polk county. Mr. Stout had always
borne the name of an ardent christian,
anexemplary citizen and a charitable
gentleman. When this liasou was ex
posed he settled up his business, deed
ing his property to his wife, and de
parted for the state of Washington,
applying, it is said, to an old friend a-;
he went through Corvallis for a "oei
tificate of good character." The irra
tionalities of life are painfully peculiar.
Strange it is that a person may live
life time of rectitude and virtue an !
then suddenly in an unguarded hour
loose all sense of shame. Mr. Stoiu,
it seems, hadn't had any for souk
time.
