Closing; Exercises This Mornlif.
If all those who would have been in
terested in. the exercises of the pnpila of
Miss Hollister and Mjss Bowe had been
present this morning, no room in this
town would have beld them; .The pro
gram consisted of singing by tbe pupils,
led by . Miss Hollister, recitations, with
some very pretty ' character sketches,
showing admirable training by -the effi
cient teachers.- The most marked one
was a song by a little girl in a blue
drees, "When the little children sleep,"
and was very gratifying. It was prettily
and modestly sung and with an absence
of that straining for' loud noise, which
unhappily marks so much children's
singing, but which is the error of their
instructors, rather than ot themselves
A special meeting of the city council
was held this morning, at - which were
present Mayor. Menefee and all the
coancilmen except Mr. Thompson. The
meeting was called to take action regard
ing the providing for payment of the
funding bonds in gold. Special ordinance
No. 298, providing for the payment
of the bonds' oh gold, was read and
passed. - Mr. Nolan moved that the re
corder be instructed to notifv Messrs
Theis and Barrolf, the bond purchasers,
that the city will demand a remission of
all accrued interest on bonds irom May
1st to the date of the delivery. As this
was the extent of the special business
the council adjourned.

ENTERTAINMENT. LAST NIGHT.
X. O. G. T. Entertained -Their Friends
at Armory Hall.
Armory hall was comfortably filled
last night to witness an amateur theat
rical performance given by the Inde
pendant Workers, I. O. G. T. The par
ticipants had been in active preparation
for some time, and their performance
last night gave evidence of careful train

The point of this drama turned on the
accidental exchange of two grip sacks
over the glove counter of a store visited
on the arrival of tbe train by tbe bride
groom rnd one of tbe bridesmaids. The
resulting- confusion worked nearly a
fatal damage to tbe wedding festive
ties. Mr. Varney as the pater families,
was a strong cast. Miss Bobbins was a
dignified, if sometimes tearful, mother.
The part of the bridesmaid, taken by
Miss Snell, was one that required more
acting, and it was admirably ' done, as
were the others." '., -

pleasure from the high histrionics pre

- A Pleasant Affair.
Mr. and Mrs. H. 8. Wilson gave a very

ious home in honor of Miss Gwilt of
Portland, who has been visiting. several
day 8 in Tbe Dalles. A number of young
people were invited who passed the
evening hours amid ranch merriment
The entertainment was quite novel as it
called into play the artistic abilities of
those who were present and some of tbe
drawings executed would take high rank
as caricatures. . At the close, guesses
were made as to what the different draw
ings were intended to' represent. Miss
Rose Michell received the ' prize as the
one who guessed tbe most correctly
Dainty refreshments were served and at
a late hour tbe guests departed. Those
present besides tbe host and hostess and
Miss Gwilt, were Alma Schmidt, Laura
