DAWN OF IMPERIALISM.
Mr. I.ydell Baker Gives an Audience
Somothlng: to Think About.
A large audience greeted Mr. Lydell
Baker at the court house last evening to
listen to his lecture upon "Julius Coesar ;
or the- Rise and Fall of imperialism in
Borne." He commenced promptly at 8
o'clock and concluded at five minutes
past 9 and the -universal verdict "is
that it was sixty-five minutes of enchant
ment. : After af brief introduction by Mr.
B. S. Huntington In which that gentle
man stated that the lecture was origin
ally written to deliver before the students
of the state university, Mr. Baker
promptly started in npon his theme,
without preface or directing attention to
himself for a single instant. The lecture
can lay no claim to oratory, but - only
that in clear cut sentences, with fault
less grammar, admirable selection of
words, delicacy of touch and scholarly
tone, the student can get a clearer and
more comprehensive insight into Roman
history in the space of time allotted by
the speaker than in all the text books
ever written. Thongh Mr. Baker "but
rarely adapts' the lessons to be learned
to contemporaneous times, the lecture
in its entirety points a '. moral from
which there is no escape, as prominent
and powerful as if it had been spoken.
Beginning with the history of the re
public in the midst of its ' grandeur,
immediately after the fall of Hannibal,
when it ruled the three known continents,
he lollowed it nearly to its close, or to the
dawn of imperialism under Julius Csesar.
In this interval of . time the nation had
been so racked and torn by internal dis
sensions, caused by jealousy of generals
and the conflict of classes, that when in
civil ; war Caesar won the city of Borne
against Pompey, it but wore the livery of
its former greatness and was 'a hollow
sepulchere. The . earlier Romans held
patriotism,. . virtue' ; and . honor - above
every other consideration, were masters
over their own passions, and were valor
ous. But vice crept insidiously and grad
ually into their habits with conquest
and' riches so changed them-that 'the
grandsons of the sires -who would have
dismembered themselves upon the. altar
of patriotism-, lolled in luxurious easfe
and were carried about the city in- per
fumed , couches'' by slaves '.'Sharper
lines' were thus drawn between the aris
tocracy and the plebeians; resulting In
an abuse of power and. the gradual deg
radation of the masses. At frequent
intervals generals rose up from both
sides, and fierce snd bloody were the
conflicts between them, with varying
success. ' The conquerors could only
satiety their vengeance and their Inst
for blood by slaying "thousands of the
conquered, and "the Tiber was choked
with human corpses." The nation was
weakened ...by., jts . own., excesses, and
lost every vestige of its power and grand
eur. There v. were philosophers "and
statesmen' Asho Ifpresaw: , these, events,
bnt were ' powerless, to' forestall. them.
Mr. Baker's lecture cannot "but . impress
one with thoughts of a like possible fate
to be-- .paralleled 'two thousand " years
laterV and'at least direct attention to the
vices in America . today, which can lead
in no direction bat .downward.;; We call
them small.- - Cigarettes tobacco, opium
madenin-. liquor misnamed "whieky is
there any thing for us Americans to con
sider? - Perhaps those sturdy Americans
who "fit in' the Revolution would have
recoiled' "with the' same horror from
these "petty" -vices that the Roman
patriot Of Scipio'a lime would have re
nounced the perfumed bath of the time
of Cicero. Is there a lesson to be gleaned
from Rome's downfall? r

There is now a plan on foot looking to
the bnilding of an academy at Klamath
Falls. It is to be a fine two story
building, the lower apartments devoted
to school purposes and the upper part
to be used as a city hall, armory and ly
ceum. While digging a well on a farm near
Hortin, Douglas county, the workmen,
at. a depth of 76' feet, detected a hollow,
answering sound to. the blows of the
pick. Tapping the side of the well, they
broke into a cavern with a good sized
stream of water running through it.
They entered the cavern for ten or
twelve feet, but declined to explore the
subterranean hall any further. . The
stream was easily diverted into the well,
and the owner will have an inexhausti
ble supply of pure, running water,

the store of S. L McKenzie in Summer

pened to be up at that time in the morn

it was the proprietor or someone who
belonged to the-, premises, and his sus
picions were not aroused - to the fact
that a deliberate robbery was in progress.
