A cordial invitation is extended to the
ladies of The Dalles and vicinity to at
tend the opening of epring and summer
millinery goods at the millinery parlors
of Campbell & Wilson, on Second street,
March 21 and 22. The finest line of

If there's one thing above another
that a person appreciates when they
enter a store it is to have it well lighted
so that the goods may be seen. .' Evi
denlly A. M. Williams & Co. was aware
of this fact and intend 'that customers
shall enjoy all advantages when dealing
with them, their latest improvemen
being a 1200 candle power incandescent
arc light in their shoe room, and for
their spacious, clothing department an
ordei has been placed for a second one.
These arcs shed a very .bright and at
tractive light, and serve to dispel the
usual objections to buying goods in the
evening. Let the good work go on.
Coroner Butts has removed his office
to the undertaking parlors of Wm.
Michel!, on the corner of Third and
Washington. If you have died from
any unknown cause, call on the coroner
there and he will sit on yon.' But if you
only wish to take up your abode in the
city, or near the city, and are desirous
of consulting him about it, you'll find
Dad Butts at that same headquarters.
"Ruben Glue," which will be played
tonight by the Noble company, is one of
Neble's best plays, and exclusively their
own. Though the - Yankee character is
the prominent one in the play, 'tis not
the same old Yankee thaf we meet in so
many productions, but a different in
dividual. The opening scene is laid in
England, while in the last we are trans
ported to Australia. Go and have a
good laugh.
ihe fourth winter scene in this year s
drama met our gazs as we pwsred out of
the window on arising thia morning.
Snow covered the ground, ad instead of
March it looked like Dec in ber. But
twas not cold, and before fee knew it the
foresaid "congealed element" was gone.
The stage driver from ASoldendale says
there was little enow at that place, but
about two inchee and a half on the
mountain as he came over.
A regular meeting of the Board of Fire
Delegates was held in the city hall last
evening and ' the old board having
finished their labors, retired.' The new
board was instituted, after which the
following officers were elected to serve
for the ensuing year: President,. Chae.
Lauer; secretary, E. M. Wingate, and
treasurer H. A. Falk. Matters of im
portance to the fire department were
taken up and discussed, after which the
meeting adjourned.
Last night Mrs. D. W. Vause received
word of the death of her brother, Leslie
Knaggs, in Ainsworth, B.C., on. the
nigbt of March 13th, of laryngitis. He
was about 36 years of age, and it has
been about eighteen years since be left
The Dalles to "run on a boat on the
Snake river. From Lewiston he went
to Spokane, afterwards going np into
British Columbia, where be has 'since
been engaged in mining. Eight vears
ago he visited his mother and eiejer here
for a day or two ; but having been away
from the city for so v many years, he is
remembered by Dalles people mire as a
mere boy, going to and from school, for
later as he was growing into manhood
he left his boyhood's home and never
returned for any length of time.
No ead of trouble has been Caused by
the similarity of the names hi the two
places The Dalles and Dallas. Most of
this has been caused by' the mail in
tended for one place tieing sent to the
other. The latest - trouble, however,
was with another kind of a male, and
if that piece of humanity isn't walking
the deck of the bo&t today swearing
vengeance on those who named the two
places, it is because the ecenery has
captured him. He is a member of the
Third ' Artillery And was bound for
Dallas, ' but by some unaccountable
means hied himself to the D. P. & A. N.
dock and purchased a ticket for The
Dalles. Nothing loth be boarded the
boat and blissmlly unconscious landed
at the dock last night to find that he
didn't know where he was "at." He
shook the duet from his feet, bought a
return - ticket! and has by this time
found out that the difference ' between
Dallas and The Dalles is about (4, and
two days' travel. - -

WHAT THEY MISSED.
A Splendid ' Opera by tlie Metropolitan
Company Last Night.
the
" 'Tis the same thing over again," and
majority of Dalles people over-
Altbongh' the attendance was fairly
good.no doubt the Noble company would
have bad a much larger audience last
night had it not been for the counter
attraction at the Vogt. There are just
enough theater-going people in the city
to make one good audience, consequently
when there are two attractions on one
nigbt both must suffer therefrom.
However, in spite 01 tne tact tnat an
enthusiastic audience is almost a neces
sity in order to give a good show,' the
'Gold King" was "well rendered on this
occasion, and some good acting was
witnessed by those who attended.
Noble is an all around actor, as has
already been proven by the two nights'
plays giyen, and he has some 'splendid
support. If an audience is looking- for
fun, they will find their desire for a good
laugh gratified by Kit Wilson in his
Irish characters.
The music furnished by the company's
orchestra is worth the admission to their
entertainments. The band is first-class
and the orchestra is equal to it, furnish
ing .fine selections during the entire
evening. . .
Tickets are given out each evening for

laugh be sure and attend.
looked an opportunity to hear a splendid
opera last night at the Baldwin. Many
looked at it in the light that a dollar
seems a good deal to pay for the priv
ilege 1 of bearing ah opera, which re
quires a -good stage, put on where .there
is absolutely no facilities for euch a pro
duction, and only one. thing in its favor
that the acoustic properties are good .
Over and over again last night did the
audience wish that it might be heard
from a large stage, with better settings
But many times have onr people paid
75 cents and ,$1 for plays which could
not be mentioned in connection with
last night's opera, despite the disad
vantages.
"Mascot" is a very pleasing little
opera, and the music at once classic and
catchy. This company has added many
comic features and situations ' which
keep the audience in a roar of laughter.
Never did we hear so many new and
pithy witticisms so well gotton off as
those of last night. The puns were not
of the "chestnut" nature so often heard
ut new and good and wnen coming
from two such perfect comedians as
Maurice Hageman and .Eddie Smith
were simply side-splitting. Indeed, the
make-up and acting of these two could
not be beat, while their constant ap
pearance on the stage was a source of
great satisfaction. Hagemen alsohas a
good voice, and Smith is not far short
of him in this respect. They are im
mense.
Will Rising as "Peppo," the shep
herd, has a form and carriage just
suited to the character, and as the lover of
"Bettina" was not, as is so often noticed
In etage love-making, lacking in th
ardor so necessary to the part. His
voice is also good and, blended with that
of ""Bettina" in the "Gobble duett,'
was particularly rich ; but showed to the
best advantage in hie solo in the second
act. , '
"Bettina," the "MaFcat, was very
pleasing, and the mot energetic little
actress that has been in The Dalles for
many a day. Although her voice was
lacking as to depth in the middle and
lower tones, it is so sweet, her acting so
good and her appearance eo taking that
not a fault was found with her. r
The choruses were filled with good
voices and splendidly acted. Indeed
the whole performance was one which
should have demanded a crowded house,1
and ' cause those who failed to attend
much regret. 1 - T . j . ''
