The horso canning business must be

among those that wero bought for that

for which he has since been offered $150.
In speaking of u trip made by the

Captain Waud in biinglng tho boat
safely through the dangerous wuters of
Thirty-Mile." Tho captain is nil right

by the board. The new forms were
adopted for the reason that in all old

Burglars seem to have chosen that
portion of the hill near Mays residence
at their favorite reudevous, and last
night ou of them hid In a dry goods
box in Mr. Wm. Gates' yard and after
that gentleman had gone to bed called
npon him, without tho usual ceremonies.
After ho had gained entrance, however,
Mr. Catoa hoard him and got up to
rocolve him with open revolver; but
he was not so sociably inclined and not
only backed out, but ran out before ho
was accosted. Mr. Cates' family is
away, and no valuables wero left around,
eo his visit was fruitless.
La9t night about 8:20 President Mel
leu's special train passed through this
city from Portland. On board was also
Profident Mohlcr, of tho 0. R. &, N.
There has been much stir in railroad
circles since tho arrival of President
Mellen, and his visit is said to relate to
tho future trafllc arrangements between
the 0. R. & N. and tho Northern Pacific.
During hie visit Mr. Mcllen declared
that unless tho Union Pacific gave tho
Northern Pacific traffic arrangements
over thoO. R. & N. to Portland Iub
road would build a direct lino there.
The result of his visit is not yet known.
As proof of tho condition of our side
walks an accident which happened to
an old lady 011 Third street this morn
ing is sufficient. When coming leisure
ly along, she ran up against one of thoee
ever-present spikes known as nails, and
stumbling, fell to tho ground. Luckily
she escaped injury, but 'twas not be
cause any condition of our sidewalks
prevented it. The sidewalk question is
an old one, but it cannot be as ojd as
some of the walks. Among others
which are tottering and broken down
with age are two which lead to the
bluff, one on Fifth street, going up from
Washington, and the other in front of
the old Fulton property. Either one of
these might be responsible for any num
ber of broken legs were the pedestrians
not aware of their terrible condition and
failed to step carefully.
Regarding the Georgia Minstrels,
which appear at the Vogt Monday, an
exchange says: "Far superior to the
ordinary farce-comedy is that of tho
Georgia Up-to-Date Co. bb teen last
night for the first time at Love's opera
house. They are the cleverest of dark
comedianB, and aro so well drilled that
it is n pleasure to note the thorough
system that characterizes all their work
Tho opera house was packed and jam
med to its utmost capacity and the
laughter and applause were almost con
tinuous. The vocalization was fine, the
dancing simply wondeiful, and all the
gaga and songs were new. From
the first rise of the curtain to tho last
drop the audience is assailed with the
finest singing ever heard here by any
company. Tho first act opens down in
Georgia before tho war and carries you
up to the swell upper-ten of the colored
100, to close with a grand medley of the
late comic operas.
Some of the boys of our city, between
the ages of 8 and 15, fail to remember
that "tis a sin to steal a pin," or any
thing however small, and therefore sev
eral in thu West End of town have been
in tho habit of swiping everything ly
ing loose about their neighbors' prem
ises garden hose, liammers, tools of all
kinds. Yesterday two or three of them
went into a yard und uuecrewing a new
brass faucet from a hydrant, walked
away with it, leaving the water running
It was afterward found by the owner in
a boy's pocket. The gentleman had
compassion on the boy and refrained
from having him punisbed as he de
served ; but if these petty thefts cdu
tinue "someihin' must-drap." Parents
should give more heed to their boys' ac
tions and when anything is found in
their pockets unaccounted for, investi
gate the matter. Such small thieves are
but fitting themselves to fill a cell in the
penitentiaries, "for great trees from lit
tle acorns grow." Really they should
be sent to our reform schools.

ALL FAIR IN "LOVE AND LAW."
And Mors Than Fair Wm the Shaw
Company I. ant Night.
"Love and Law" which was put on
the boards by tho Shaw Company laet
night was perhaps tho strongest yet
given, from the fact that it required so
much character work, which always
tests tho strength of a cast. Wo must
say. however, that thoy stood the test
well, for 'tis not often a company is
found containing so many artists in the
character line; one that can put seven
almost faultless character artists on in
one play, each one Booming to thorough
ly undsrstand the part and enter into
the spirit of it, from tho Italian organ
grinder, which wo consider an extreme
ly difficult rolo and perfectly taken by
Al. II. Haliett, to tho Dutch policeman.
In make-up, dialect, manner and act
ing Mr. Ilallett was certainly immense,
and succeeded in making all despise
him. In Mrs. Shuw, as "Old Rosa," he
had support none tho less perfect. The
conscientious work of the lady in every
character she assumes is apparent, and
in laBt night's performance it would be
difficult to imagine one who could sur
pass her.
Of Mr. Shaw aB "Felix O'Paff," an
Irish attorney, we can but reiterate
what was said of his first performance.
So perfect is his understanding of every
character he has bo far appeared in here,
that his audience is at once charmed
with him and then led to study his
rendition of each character. He is one
of the most fascinating actors Dalles
people have ever heard.
"Cockney Jim" was a splendid role
when in the hands of M. J. Hooley,
who played it for all there was in it.
He ie all right and such was the verdict
of the audience. Jennie Kelton also
had a difficult part in Retta, the street
singer, but she met every requirement
and showed herself equal to a heavy
part as well as lighter ones, in which
she had prevously appeared. As Kittie
O'Rourke, the Irish servant, Louise
Carter waB"too cute for anything" as
a young lady was heard to remark.
While her brogue might have been im
proved upon, her make-up and her act
ing were the "real thing." The au
dience did not blame her for admiring
Policeman Hoffmeier.for Dan Dougherty
was "one of the Guest", and is also a
high stepper.
Stanley Ross had the thankless part
of a villian, and it was hard to make tiie
audience believe be was tiio same per
son' who assumed tho roll of the charm
ing lover the first night, so much of a
villian was he.
Although it would not seem so, II. W.
Gilbert had a role difficult to take, as
much depends on ttie eaee with which a
lover's part is carried out, and ho was
perfectly at home as Sir Randall Burns.
Albert Watson as "Septimus Sawyr"
aleo acted the part of the lawyer well.
Those who have heard Miss Myer in
the previous performances were better
pleased with her in last night'd play, for
sho Ecemed more at home. Due allow
ance niUBt be made for her, however,
as this is her fiiBt appearance in thh
repertoire, having just joined tho
company here, end being compelled to
learn a new role each day. She is said
to be a first class actress when at her
best. Her make-up was also better last
night, she being inclined to use too
much make-up for this stage. A little
less rouge, as well as powder, would add
to her appearance.
The play which Mr. Shaw has selected
for this evening Is the story of Cuba's
struggle for freedom, "The Last Stroke."
It can hBrdly bo called a war drama.
"A dramatic incident in a war sotting"
would bo a more accurate description of
it. But what's in a name r A play by
any other name would no as good (11
presented by the Shaw company) so get
your seats early and you will not be
compelled to stand up.
