fusion behind the scenes, which was the
worst feature of last night's show. It
was so bad that those taking part were
aunoved thereby even more than thei!
audience, and in one or two cases it
caused the forgetting of the lines. This
will poeitively not occur tonight. I
It is rumored that the O. R. & N. win
put on a through passenger train to Spo
kane about MnrchO to 15. At present
there is a large passenger traffic to Spo
kane, caused by the mining boom o
Trail creek and other mining camps,
north of Spokane. The train will run
by way of Pendleton, and will do away
with the present local between this
point and Portland, or rather take its
place, arriving . here about 10 in the
morning from Portland, and returning
in the evening.

'Evenings With Dickens."
The "Evenings With Dickens" last
night was quite well attended, and a
good program was very well rendered.
The High School quartette carried off
the honors of the evening, but the num
ber of characters is too large to permit
of individual mention. Mrs. Jarley's
wax works was a good feature, and Mrs.
Stephens as Mrs. Jarley made eome very
clever hits in introducing the "figures."
The greatest trouble, that has pertained
to the making of the affair a success,
was the large number of characters
(some ninety in all) and the consequent
impossibility of getting rehearsals. It
is really aetoniabing that the parts were
so wel) taken when this fact is realized.
The greatest burden of all this labor bas
fallen upon Mn. Esbelman and Mr. F.
A. Ernst, The latter baa been indefa
tiguable in bia drilling of the actors.
Taken all In all, the entertainment wa
a reaaafkable success, and we.thidk the
acanee this evening will increase the
standard of excellence.

Literary Notes.
XITtii
tew of the present uprising of the
Greeks in Crete, an article the last from
his pen by the late Prof. John Stuart
lackie, the celebrated Philologist and
hlihellenist, b very timely in that it
ves an absorbingly interesting and elo-
ent account of the present political
alicl economic position oi ureece. rot,
ackie very pertinently remarks that
although the Greeks have been miser-
aplv downtrodden uy tne Murks tor lour
ndred years, there nevertheless lives
ehind the outward show of slavish de
basement, a heart of sturdy independ
ence that cherishes the patriotic memor
ies of ageB and seizes eagerly on every
chance that may enable it to stand be
fore the world as a noble people deter
mined to die rather than live the slave
of hateful tyranny. With its finances
on a stable basis, he predicts the glorious
future for Greece.
Concerning; Curtains.
The audience left the Vogt last night
before the final tableau which was to
have closed the entertainment, being
misled by the curtain. In all shows the
advertisingcurtain is displayed until the
orchestra begins to play, then the ad
vertising curtain goes up, showing the
regular curtnin, which goes up at the
beginning of the play and only comes
down at its end. The advertising
curtain is used at times during the pla;
when the scene is desired to be put wel
up to the foot-lights, but the play is not'
ended until the regular curtain cornea
down. The entertainment will end to
night with a tableau of all the char
acters participating. Wait for it.

Yesterday John McGrafF wan arrested
on a telegram from Sherman county.
As near as we could learn, he was charged
with stealing a woman, iu which case, or
rather in this particular case it will
prove no more serious offense than petty
larceny. It seems the woman has two
or three or more children, and went
from some point down the river five or
six months ago. McGralT met her, and
cupid twanged the bow-Htriug. The sun
light of love came flooding over the
eastern horizon, bathing the high spots
on hia heart with the brilliant rays of
divine puppy love. He vented vidied
and was vicied. The object of his affec
tion would not take first prize at a
beauty show, but what was that to a
youth of 22. To his eyes she was
Aphrodite, Juno and Minerva, all in
one, only he did not recognize the di
vinities by that name. Through his
eyes she was ns the houris promised the
faithful by Mohammed, she was to be
desired above all things, and so he just
plucked the blossom unmindful of the
difference between daisies and dog fennel
and hied him away from his native
heath on the wind-swept plains of Sher
man county to a foreign country; but,
alas! the cruel law stepped in, and,
armed with a requisition from the
justice of the peace at Wasco, the
wicked minion of that law, the con
stable, came down and tore apart these
loving hearts. It was awful, but both
parties will recover.
ltonds or No Bonds.
Tomorrow the question of bonding the
district for $.20,000 will be settled. We
print elsewhere a tabulated statement
showing the increase in school children
since 18SS. It shows indisputably that
our present school facilities will have to
be enlarged. Since 188S the number of
pupils in attendance has nearly doubled.
The present school rooms are over
crowded. There can be, and is no ques
tion about the necessity of more school
room, the only one is as to the manner in
hich they shall be paid for, whether by
vying taxes to meet the expenee now,
or by spreading the payments over a
eriod of twenty years. It is not a
c uestion either of how much we should
Bond for. It must be either for .$20,000
r nothing. Another feature of the
ituation is that the district now owes
bout $7,000, and it is proposed to pay
his off or rather refund it if bonds are
voted. This 7,000 now draws 8 per
cent interest, when refunded it will not
draw over 6, probably not much over 5
per cent. This would leave $13,000 for
the proposed improvements. If the
bonds are not voted, a 5 mill tax will bo
neceseary in the near future to pay this
indebtedness. We must have more
school buildings, and it is for the voters
of the district to say tomorrow how they
shall be paid for.
