An Arkansas paper says in one of the
mountain counties only one man took a
newspaper and all the citizens for some
distance around would gather to hear
the news when it came. A listener one
time asked what the Democrats were
doing in congress. "Oh," replied the
reader, "they're playing the dickens
over there. They've passed a law add
ing two months to the year, and the
worst of it is they made both winter
months.". "Blast their souls," said a
listener, "and I'm nearlv out of fodder !"

Indian Band Slasic.
P. Kalatna, a Warm Springs Indian,
land leader of an Indian band of sixteen
pieces at the reservation, has written a
Better to Rupert & Gabel, asking The
Dalles to employ the band for our next
Frjurth of July celebration. The letter,
which is written in a good business
hand, correctly spelled and punctuated,
is as follows :
"I will ask you folks whether you can
get a job for my brass band on the 4th of
July in The Dalles, provided the people
tbere would celebrate the 4th j Of course
its a long ways from the 4th, but I want
to advertise ourselves beforehand.
. , . P. Kalama.'.'
By ail means let us have the Indian
band, if we celebrate. It will be & great
advertisement : and . will attract people
from a distance of 50, perhaps 100 miles.
A band of aborigines blowing horns,
keeping time and playing correctly by
note, would be a novel sight to most of
us and will be worth seeing.

Kinder Symphony.
Last night the much-talbed-of Kinder
mphony was given, under the charge
of the Guild of St. Paul's church, at the
residence of Mr. J. T. Peters. The Sym
phony has been rehearsing, under, the
moat efficient directing of Miss Newman
for the last six weeks, and the only re
gret was that the house wasn't able to
bold one-half the people who would have
enjoyed hearing it. A short musicale
preceded the symphony, in which a well
executed solo by Mr. Burchtorf was
fully enjoyed and appreciated by the
guests. Miss Myrtle Micbell only capti
vated still more people by her sweet
voice, and was compelled to respond to
an encore. The vocal solo by Mr. John
Hampshire brought down the house, and
he was made to appear and eing again.
The young gentleman has a remarkably
fine baritone voice, and if he ever gives
it the time and attention it deserves, we
predict for bim a brilliant future in
that line. The vocal duet by, the
Messrs. Clarke,- and the instrumental
trios by Miss Newman, Mrs. Peters and
Mr. Burchtorf were well rendered and
greatly liked. At last appeared the
Kinders" and they were almost flua-
trated by the amount of applause with
which they wete greeted. Words can
not describe what followed. It has to
be heard to be appreciated. At first it
seemed as if Bedlam was turned loose,
but when it afterward resolved into a
minuet and trio, and finally ended in a
grand ' finale, everyone present "felt
that Miss Newman's, efforts were suc
cessful, and that great credit was' due
her for her able management. .The ef
forts of Phelps, Hampshire, Clarke and
Patterson were funny in the extreme.
Ed. Patterson almost blew the ton of his
bead off.
. The following . took part.: Piano,
Miss N. Ruch; violins, Messrs. Burch
torf and Liebe ; violin-cello, Mrs. Peters ;
cuckoo. Miss Mack; nightingale, Miss
M. Michell; achnarre, Mr. G. . W..
Phelps; triangles, Miss M. Lav and Mr.
Hampshire; Bob White whistles, Miss
L. Thompson and Mr. C. Clarke; trum.
pet, Mr. E. Patterson ; drum, Mr. A.
Clarke. Director, MIbs Newman.
