A Republican Convention for tbe Connty of Wasco, State of Oregon, is called to meet in Dalles City, in said county, on Wednesday, April 4th, 1893 at 10 o'clock A. M., for the purpose of nominating candidates for the following county offices: One County Commissioner, County Clerk, Connty Sheriff, County Treasurer, County Assessor, County School Superintendent, County Coroner and i onnty Surveyor; and also precinct officers for the teveral precincts, and eight dele gates to the State Convention, and to tiansact traeb. other business as may properly come before each convention. The convention will consist of 67 delegates chon by the several prcrincts, and the several precincts of tbe county will be entitled to representation in said convention as follows: THE CLAQUE. How It Operates in the Theaters of Paris and London. In Paris a determined resistance has for some time been brought to bear against the claques men hired to ap plaud in the theaters. Claques, however, have flourished from time immemorial and are. not likely to die out' yet awhile. In the time of the : llomans as many as five thousand men were hired to cheer a single man, and to be a member of a claque was to be considered an artist. jNot only had they to shout, but they were required to imitate the clashing of broken jups by snapping their fingers in unison and to. imitate the patter of hail and the droning of bees, for these were recognized signs of ap proval. Coming to more recent times the leader of a French claque considered himself very poorly .off unless he made considerably over five thousand dollars a , year. Indeed, the post of leader was so much sought after that as much as twenty-five thousand dol lars was exacted as premium before a man was permitted to fill a vacancy. The chief was paid no stated salary, but was allotted a certain number of seats, which he could sell at his own price, and these, together with the presents he received from the actors, amounted to a very substantial sum. The claque was and still is nothing more than a gigantic fraud. Men are deputed to laugh immoderately at jokes, to applaud speeches; and women are actually employed to sob audibly and become hysterical during affecting scenes. In ' . fact, in some foreign theaters such member of the claque is given a printed . list of instructions, which he or she is expected to follow to the letter. Things came to such a pass some years ago that a play was placed in jeopardy through the machinations of rival claques. Jealous actresses would employ their own claques, and the ri diculous spectacle was presented of an actress being applauded from one part of the house and soundly hissed from the other. . ' Circumstances are considerably modi fied in France now, but we still have our claques here, says an English pa per. They consist chiefly of deadheads, persons who are expected to applaud in exchange for free admission. They appear, for the most part the first nights, when the fate of a play is in the balance, and' are tobe seen fran tically clapping their hands when the remainder of the audience is half asleep. At other times foreign actresses fresh to the English stage hire men to applaud them on their first appear ance. The whole business, however, is carried out so in artistically that the presence of a claque is nearly always detected. IMITATED A DOG TOO WELL.

It has long been the custom of ships lying at the Brooklyn naVy yard to dis charge their powder as precaution against accident, and the regulations as to entering a man-of-war's powder magazine are of the most stringent character.-' It sometimes happens that a single catastrophe is responsible for extra precautions that become perma nently imbedded in naval regulations, and doubtless the destruction of the frigate Fulton at the . Brooltlyn navy yard sixty-six years ago was responsi ble .for the stringency as to discharg ing powder. The Fulton was a tem porary receiving ship, and one day while the officers were at dinner a gunner entered the magazine without proper precautions. "The result was an explosion that blew up the . ship and killed forty out of one hundred persons on board. Ten days loss of time on account of sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is any thing bnt pleasant for a man cf a family to contemplate, whether he is a laborer, mechanic, merchant or publisher. Jas. 0. Jones, "publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas, was eick in bed for ten days with the grip daring its prevalence a year or two ago. Later in the season he had a second attack. He Bays : "In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with considersible sac cess, I think, only being in bed a little over two days. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first bntfor the use of theremedy." It should be borne in mind that the grip is much the same as a very severe' cold and requires precisely the same treat ment. When you wish to cure a cold quickly and effectually give this remedy a trial. 25 and 50 cent bottleB for sale by Blakeley & Houghton, druggists.

An English professional ventrilo quist in Lancashire1 lately received what is perhaps as high a compliment to his professional powers as ever was paid to one of his tribe, and yet, as Mr. loole used to say, "he is not happy. It appears from proceedings- at the Wallassey petty sessions that this ven: triloquist ; prided himself greatly on his skill in imitating the cries of a dog. and that one day, at Seacombe Ferry. he agreed to give an exhibition of this sort of mimicry, and proceeded to do so by beating a hand-bag, from which the most agonizing cries, as of a dog, appeared to come. The first result was that an old lady rushed at the ventriloquist and tried to hit him with an. umbrella. She desisted when told it was a joke; but a man named Scott, a meat contractor, then rushed across he road, took the ventriloquist by the throat, and struck him on the face and neaa several times, mnicting Injuries which lea to erysipelas in the ear, for which the sufferer claimed damages. In the witness box he repeated the sham dog-beating, performance. For the defense it was contended that the defendant was genuinely deceived by the simulated agonies of the supposed i-og, ana naa simply seized the bag in order to prevent further erueltv: and it was urged that any person playing sucn incus in . puwic must take the consequences. 1 mally the magistrate dismissed tne case, but made no order as to costs.

' An Englishman traveling in the south some years ago was interested when a chance acquaintance at a hotel said to him: "I have some of Long fellow's hair." Then he drew from his pocket a little box and exhibited a quantity of coarse black hahv "Oh," said the Englishman, with surprise, "I should have thought it would haye been white." "No," said the proud possessor of the relic. - "It's all right. I was in the stable myself yesterday and got this where he'd switched it off against the side of his-stall.'? It was thus that the Englishman first learned that a famous horse had been named for the poet.

ODD BOX OFFICE RECEIPTS. Figs, Poultry, Cocoanuts ana Fruit In Pay ment for a Concert In the Pacific There is no more interesting subject of study than currency. People do not realize Low difficult it would be to get along without it. Some years ago, says a writer in tbe Washington Star, Mile. Zelle, of the Theater Lyriquc, at Paris, on a professional tour 'around - the world, gave a concert at the Society islands, m the South Pacific. It was arranged that in payment for an air from "Korma" and three or four other selections she was to get one-third of the receipts. Her share consisted of S pigs, 23 turkeys, 44 chickens, 5,000 cocoanuts and considerable quantities of bananas, lemons and oranges. The live stock and produce would have rep resented a value of about 4,000 francs in the markets of her native city, but it was hardly practicable to dispose of me xormer orr-nana ana the latter had to be fea to the pigs and poultry.
