. Wheat . Outlook.
Reoorts from the farming HietriVt in
this county are to the effect that the

jured by the late freezing weather. ;
bberman county has bad some, pf , its
fall-sown injured, that was in the most
exposed places, especially where the
snow had been blown off. This will
necessitate a spring sowing in place of
that killed.

The Court Decides that the Season Did

sYngnst. .
Business is dull in the circuit court
today." JudgeBradshaw on convening
court excused the jury who' mostly re
sumed the occupation they have busied
themselves with . generally during the
week,, viz, loafing and - trying to kill
time until such time as the business of
the court will demand their attention;
The corirt shortly after adjourned and
has transacted no business this after
noon ' of importance.:" 'The ' business of
the grand jury is delayed by absent wit
nesses, and so soon as they have.pro-3
gressed .with their labors the court will
have business ready for the ' jurorsJ
Most of the civil business has been dis
posed of and the criminal business now'

: Attorney HrSTTvllson this morning
returned from Portland, where he has
been engaged in the trial of the case
which was brought in the federal court
bv a company of Chinese who had con
tracted with . I. H; Taffe of Celilo. 'to
pack last season's catch of salmon. , The
Chinese stopped working at the begin
ning of the close season in August, hav
ing done but little work; claiming that
the season was then completed. Taffe
was compelled to hire another force of
Chinamen to pack the September catch,
which proved to be a very large one.
The Chinese who had packed the sum
mer's catch, brought suit to compel pay
ment of the force for the entire season's
catch. But the court decided that the
season did not end with the close season
in August, and the Chinese will have to
mourn the money lost, and which they
will not get. Mr. Taffe, doubtless
thinks, with ,B ret Harte, that "for ways
that are dark and for tricks that are
vain, this heathen Chinee is peculiar."
But their vain tricks availed them noth
ing in their attempt to force the money
out of ."Duke Taffe." -
. Refused to Quit Work. '
John Batty, whose hand was frozen a
few days ago, is now getting along nice
ly. It is learned he "was driving team at
the time, and refused to quit work when
his attention was called by others to the
fact that his band was frozen. After
wards he noticed a - peculiar tingling
sensation, and unfortunately he plunged
them in hot water. The opposite should
have been done. He - has suffered
greatly, besides the loss of a portion of
his hand. ;. ' . "

that he proposed, to have a bill up be
fore the next assembly , providing that

The Opera Company.
, Pueblo (Col.) Leader. -The
Boston Operatic Concert Company
appeared last night before an audience
that filled every seat in the theater, and
left hundreds standing, and still others
unable to gain admission. That they
fully deserved the' patronage bestowed
was demonstrated before the curtain bad
been up thirty minutes. The musical
part of the entertainment is of especial
excellence, being far ahead of anything
heard ef in this city before. Miss Bertha
Hainan's coronet solo was deservedly
applauded to the echo, while the solo
upon the xylophone; by her twin sister,
pleased equally well.' The musical pro
gram as a whole, under the directorship
of Miss Irene Hamah, was rendered
with rare taste and intelligence. Albert
Hawthorne the basso cantanta, has a
voice that for clearness and depth of tone,
easily holds rank among the best bassos
of this generation. His rendition of the
"Arrow and the SoDg'' was simply grand.
He was recalled time after time, and ' it
began to look as though the delighted
audience would keep him singing indefi
nitely. Dolph and Susie Levi no, in
their act which they aptly style "Rival
Arts," furnished the mirth and pathos
of the entertainment. -Their efforts have
a novelty and originality "that is well
nigh indescribable, singing, harp play
ing, drawing and story telling, all so well
and briskly done, that one hardly knows
where to begin.'- Laughter and tears,
astonishment and constant v surprise
keep ; the' listener's mind in constant
action. ; The, two - features, however,
which seemed to stand out" particularly,
was the singing of Miss Levino" with
the harp accompaniment, and the crayon
sketches of prominent men by Mr.
Levino, while the ' lady eulogizes the
subject in song, the gentleman makes a
life-like crayon sketch of the features.
Summed up it is the best entertainment
seen here this' season.
