Rain fell last Thursday and Friday
throughout the l'alouso country, stop
ping farm work in many places, and
putting tiie roads in such condition that
travel is almost suspended. In the
country west of Colfax considerable
farm work has been done, and near
Diamond, Lee's siding and Kndicott
some tarinera are done seeding, and the
recent rains will be of vast benefit to
the wheat just sown. On Willow creek
hill grain is green and growing rapidly,
and much of the spring seeding is done,
and the crop prospects are unusually
good for this season of the year.
On Wednesday, the 10th, Miss Doro

some of Miss Kliot'a pupils, and the oc
casion will ho a great musical treat, ns
both of these young ladleu are finished

Stevens, who so delighted Dalles people
with her instrumental music when here

P. O. McFarhuio, a prominent citizen '
of Vancouver, who is operating a big '
logging camp at Sara, near Lake River, '
in Clarke county, met with a notions ac
cident Saturday evening while working '
on a log railway, loading on tho cars.
A heavy stick of piling fell on him, in
juring his spine and causing partial pa
ralysis of the lower limbs. It was
thought by those who witnessed tho uc
cident that he was dead, but through
the assistance of men in the camp re
storutiver were administered, und after
some time he revived. The physician
who attended him pronounces bis inju
ries serious, but thinks he will probably
recover.
I'mcy Negro Died lu Jutl.
About ii o'clock Thursday afternoon
the city marshal found near the depot a
demented negro who was peeping into
!the windows of the offices, says the
Pendleton East Oregonian. He was a
full-blood, black as the ace of spade?,
and appeared to be suffering from de
lirium tremens.
The man was very crazy. His talk
was wild and disconnected, and his
eyes shone with maniacal frenzy. He
resisted arrest, and tried to bite, but
with the assistance of two colored men,
waa conveyed to the county jail, where
he paced the cement floor of his cell like
a caged beast. He could not tell his
name. And it was only gathered that
he had been a bootblack.
At about 10 o'clock, after several
hours of suffering, the pdor negro died
at the jail, aud his body has now been
conveyed to the potter's field for inter
ment. There was absolutely nothing on
his person by which he could be identi
fied. I, ant NlRlit' rerfoniiuncr.
George's Minstrel, which waa put on
at the Vogt last evening, waa an excep
tionally catchv show. In fact an audi
ence, over four hundred, were caught
by a performance which school boys
would feel ashamed of putting before
the public. Their music was fairly good
aud the gun drill and juggling was also
worth seeing, hut outside of this the
show did not have a redeeming feature.
Their jokes were worn out and few in
number, their dancing was done by per
sons who could not dance, while their
singing was without an exception little
better. At one time this show was
worth seeing, but the stars have quit
the company aud the show they put on
at present would not please a child.
The managers of the Vogl should not
he blamed in the least for engaging such
a troupe, for when tho contract was
made, the show was well worth seeing,
and it was only a few days ago that the
men who made George's Minstrels the
popular performance that it was, quit
and left it what it is at present.
Wo sincerely hope that such a per
formance as this will not keep the pub
lic from patronizing a good show when
it conies to our city, for it is Mr. Kiner
sly's endeavor to hove tho best on the
road stop over at this place and tho fact
that that of lust night being what it
was is no fault of his.

BURGLARS GET $300.

to
Industrious burglars made a profitable
haul in Portland early Sunday morning.
They broke into the Keith Bros, cafe,
on Fifth and Alder streets, and opened a
treasure-box containing $300 in cash.
The robbery was committed in the early
hours of the morning. When the place
waa opened Sunday morning the discov
ery was made that the closet where tho
money-box waa kept had been entered
and the cash taken.
The owners ot the place refuse to say
anything about the robbery. It is learnd
that they have supplied the officers with
i clew, and it is supposed that the rob
bers are being hunted for.
The character of the robbery indicates
that the burglars were well informed aa
where some of the money taken in was
kept.
It is understood that there waa about
$300 in the cash-box, but one of the pro
prietors deniea stating what amount wuh j
taken.
