DANIEL SULLY COMING.
He Will Appear at the Frazer in the
Play, "The Parish Priest."
In presenting "The Parish Priest"
ior public favor, Daniel Sully wishes
to announce that it Is by far the great-!
est pray he lias ever offered. I
It is replete with deft touches of hu-1
nior and pathos, combined with a j
story of absorbing heart-interest. It i
teaches the necessity of honor in the '
social relations of life, as well as in 1
business. I
The comedy is sparkling, its dla-l
logue crisp and situations amusing as!
well as dramatic. I
Mr. Sully, as Father Whalen, has j
found a role worthy of his abilities ah ;
an actor. There is truth without of-j
fence or exaggeration, a veritable
touch of nature "which makes the i
whole world kin."
There is nothing about the charac
ter of Father Whalen to offend the ;
church-goers, in fact it shows the 1
"father" as he really is, willing and;
ready with a cheery word to help the
most sinful and despised. One of its 1
novelties is the action of the play,!
which takes place in three hours. !
Critics style It a perfect production
of a perfect play. Mr. Sully's support
is excellent and altogether we may j
look for as admirable a production as
the manager of the Frazer has given
us this season. i

GOOD WORK ACCOMPLISHED
ALL ALONG THE LINE.
A Great Crowd of the Wcodmen of the
! World Hooked for Pendleton for the
Log.RollIng, April 21-22.

wst deputy of the Woodman of the
(World; returned from PorUaud and
,The Dalles Wetlnesday. Whllo In

SVorld hav.' hen miintnK thrmythout
the Northtt.-s-t duritif! the lust two or
throe jar. the, railway people have
'ome to value the ntn,anf;e of the
"a wielders." Mr. Iloaers aluo nrv
ransted for some of tho splendid
Woodman drill toms to b present to
extmpllfy the iHMiuHfwl aud intriate
dramatic and drill work of the order.
This fact akiue will Itrlnf; evorv
Woodman for a couple of hundred
miles around to Pendleton. Mr. Rop
ers says that these teams will Ktvo
public drills in rnncy military move
ments, and of the many attractions
which are proposed, he statos those
will bo the most attractive, and will
delight and surprlsa all who see
them.
t The Dalles Neighbor Roger
found a wave of enthusiasm which he
describes as "threatening to sweep
that town Into the Columbia river."
Three weeks ago The Dalles elrelo
and ramp swung Into line nnd started
out for 202 candidates for tho tre
mendous affair. Night before last a
Joint meeting of the camp and circle
was held and it was round thnt the
camp had already received S5 appli
cations and the circle 17. No regular
business was transacted, but a royal
banquet was tendered to Mr. Rogers
and a promise to surprise tbe "bunch
grassers" was given him to carry to
the Pendlotonlans.
Here iu Pendleton the work Is going
forw"1 '"II ti n oe th-f itrntnlaos nn
equal surprise to the visitors who will
be present from all parts of the state.
Mr. Rogers found nfter a three days'
trip an immense amount of mall
awaiting hm from different points all
over Oregon and parts of Washington
and Idaho, asking about tho ox pent
ed gathering. A curious lettor recent
ly received by the president of
the general committee, was written
by a convict in the state's prison In
Montana. He stated that ho had road
In the East Orogonlan of the mam
moth affair which is expected to take
place here soon and wanted to know
if cortain fancy work which he make
could not be put on salo during
Woodmen wook.
Noxt weok the proper local com
mittee will report on the various at
tractions which will be Introduced to
entertain the visitors, ami aomethltut
novel and striking may well be looked
for.
Mr. Rogers will go to Baker City,
Sumpter and ha Grande next weok In
the interest of the Pendleton log-roll
ing. That territory has already prom
ised to come, but since visits have
been made, westward, ns far as Port
land, and northward as fur as Pomr
roy. it is felt but Justice tnat a jmm
sonal "invitation In boots" ! also
sent to the farther eastern points. A
little later on visits will also be madi
to all Intermediate points botvw n
llolse City aud Pendleton and be
twoon Spokane and this city, so Inn
tho Held will be thoroughly awakened
to the magnitude of the enoniio;r- at
fair. Great double alieet post'r
printed in two colors, are also to b
posted in every town and village In
Oregon Western Idaho and Bantera
Washington.
Some little misunderstanding ha
been found to exist hi the public mind
with reforence to tho Woodmon of
the World and another ordei with a
very similar name, and It has be.-n
found that many parties who doeire to
join and b a wart of the great clas
hae miatakenlygiveu their Hppli-
tiona to the alstor society. Howoror,
Mr. Rogers states that while th.
Woodmen of tho World had tM-rhap
lost some candidal! through mJsun
derstandlng. they might also haw

the part of our osteomod head conml
