Not the great opera of Wanner, It Ih true, but tho drumntlzed version by William Lynch Roberts, In wlilrh tho story of the Holy Ornll and the guileless fool Is net forth In nn American manner. Whatevor'tho opera may be the drama makes a strong play ami those who did not uttend last night missed some thing that they may not have another opportunity of seeing. Those who expected that the per formance Inst night would be a pro duction n which the meaning would be vagueiund understood only by those who knew the story of Parsifal, were happily disappointed. In the dram atized version there Is nothing ob scure am to men ami women the Idea of tho play was clear from the beginning to thu close. It was simply the story of life. Parsifal Is a re ligious play but Its religion Is that which Is Inherent with all mankind. No one, whether churchman or not, has ever read the story of the cru sades without being stirred thereby, and no one could see the presentation of Parsifal without being Inspired by the story that Is unfolded. Unlike the common play, Parsifal Is something that does not merely reach the heart or Intellect; It ap peals to the soul. It Is a story that Is old but will always be new. Though a tale of the ninth century Its truths still live and they are appreciated more today than they were In that medieval tlmo. They will always live and be appreciated as long as right has the preference over wrong and knightly virtues warm the hearts of men. The company playing Parsifal Is a strong one and the leading part Is admirably fbllled by Mr. Connor. As Kundry, fairest of all fair women, It would be difficult to Improve upon Miss Keating. Others who deserve credit ore Mr. McKee as Anfortas, and Mr. Dvorak as the , black knight, Kllnschor. While the Inefficiency of the Frostier theater prevented a proper presentation of the scenic features of the play, the staging was much better than many had hoped for. The house was crowded and nearly all were In their seats by the designated time, 7:45, As usual with a Pendleton audience appreciation of the play was shown by generous ap pluuse at the close of each act, and at the conclusion of strong passages during the performance.

Is still wrestling with the question of how to make 288 teachers nil 308 positions, says a Col fax dispatch. During the month of September many vacancies were filled by teachers obtained from other parts of the state and from the east, but there are ubout 30 positions now open In the schools of the country, with salaries ranging from $50 to $60 per month that cannot be filled. These 'vacancies are chiefly In the country schools, where the directors failed to make an effort to employ teachers until late In the summer. They -now find n peculiar condition staring 'them In the 'face. If they do not have school In their respective districts they will not only lose their state money, hut will also lose their organization as a district. This Is causing not a little annoy ance to the district officers. In spite of the Bteady rise hi teachers' wages in this county for the past three years, a greater number hnve left the pro fession to engage In other lines of werk than have entered it. Tl.AY lt.Sl:il Al l, IX JAIVW. Stanford Team Will Cm) the I'ut'lflc for n Spring Tannic. Palo Alto, Cal., Oct. 21. It .has been nhout decided tht the baseball nine of Stanford university will Jour nej to Jaran next spring to play a re turn series of games with the nine of Waseda university on thirfr home dia mond. All of the players are anxious to make the trip, and It is believed that the faculty will consent. Some two years ago the Waseda club, said to be the best aggregation of ball players In the orient, came to Stanford for a series of games. In which they were defeated. The little brown men were net discouraged, however, and returned to their home nl the far east determined to Improve their proficiency In the great Ameri can game to an extent which would enable them to defeat Stanford. New they believe that they have reached that point, and" are urgent In their Invitations to the Stnnford nine to visit the flowery kingdom and again engage in a test of baseball -proficiency. The American coach writes that the Japs, with two years' training nnd the advantage of being on their home grounds, can at least make tt Interest ing for the "Mellcan boys." Japan Is said to be baseball crazy at the present time and It Is consider ed certain that If the Stanford nine decides to make the trip the receipts from the games will cover all their cxiienses.

Federal Law Soy Saloons Must Sell Only at tlio Saloon. A surprise to saloon men has Just been handed out at North Yakima, where a number of them have been fined $300 each by the federal author ities for delivering liquor to private houses. A dispatch from North Yakima says of the Incident; Deputy Internal Revenue Inspector nnnt:la of Wnlla Walla swooped down on alleged offenders against the rev enue laws yesterday, and as a result J. D. Dazett of this city, Q. J. Cassldy of Yakima City, and others In the saloon business In this county, were compelled to do some tall hustling to square themselves. They were charged with selling liquor without a license, In that they delivered goods to private houses and collected for the same. It Is claimed this act es tablished a place of business at each place at which the liquor was sold, necessitating the taking out of a li cense In each house. Saloon men ef fected a compromise by paying $300 each. This, It is stated, gives them the privilege of continuing to sell to the same parties to whom they sold be fore the complaint was made.

When a horse Is so overworked It lies down and in other ways declares Its Inability to go further, you would consider it criminal to use force. Many a man of humane'impulses who would not willingly harm a kitten, is guilty of cruelty where his own stomach Is concerned. Over driven, overworked, when what It needs Is something that will digest the food eaten and help the rtomach to recuperate. Something like Kodol For Dyspepsia that is sold, by Tallman tt Co.
