An entire change ,of program will be presented tonight at McEwen's enter tainment at the Vogt, and there is no doubt if the crowd keeps increasing as it ' has during the last three nignts, that the opera house will Bcarcely be able to accommodate them all. An habitual drunk, Who has been causing considerable trouble around town recently, and who has been before the recorder's court about a half dozen times, was arrested again last night and fined $50, which it is hoped will prove as good in ' his case as a term in the Keeley Institute. Work is being pushed rapidly on the new railroad bridge across Mill Creek.

R.Hays, one of the most promi nent men of Tillamook county, and well know.2 throughout the state, died Mon day of pneumonia.

He was several times elected to official positions, holding successively the offices of presi dent of the Tillamook town council, county surveyor and county clerk. Forty-six persons in all are prostrate in Corvallis as a result of eating poison ous food. Several are ' still in a very serious condition, though the physicians in attendance believe that the danger point is now passed. , Violent purging and vomiting and extreme pain in the stomach are the prevailing symptoms in each case, and some are absolutely pros trated with weakness.

H. W. Corbett to a seat in tb'e senate from the state of Or egon by virtue of the appointment of the governor of that state.

At the commencement of the entertainment the professor made a number of instructive remarks con cerning the hypnotic and mesmeric art. after which becommenced work with bis class, which contained a number of new subjects, but nevertheless proved very successful. An amusing feature was where one of the members forgot his name and was told by the professor that a person in the audience had it. The subject immediately proceeded to get it by force or any other means, and after being sent around the hall by the different ones he approached, was told that Sheriff Driver had it, and proceed ed, without any hesitancy, to force that worthy official to give it up, insisting that he come up on the stage so that he would bave a chance to take it out of his hide. Another one imagined that he had lost his nose, and, with tears in his eyes and afterwards with threats, besought the audience to return it. The "Cleveland Band" was one of the best things of the evening, and the way the members of the class sang and turned tin whistles, broom-sticks, chairs and old horns into first-class instru ments, was a caution. After - playing their respective parts on the stage, they formed in the order ot march and parad ed around the hall with as much pomp and self-conceit as would Sousa's grand aggregation. Nothing could speak better for Prof. McEwen tfian' the ' increase noticeable each evening in the attendance, and, judging ffoin the interest everyone takes in his peculiar art, there is no doubt that he will have crowded bouses each and every night! th,at he remains here.
