“ Esmeralda,” the play in which
Mr. Keane and hie excellent com­
pany will appear tomorrow, Wed­
nesday evening, June 24tb, deals
with the story of a young southern­
er, who falls in love with “ Esmer­
alda,” the heroine of the play,
and succeeds in saving her property
which has been coveted by a French
count, the villain in the play. The
old character woman is a very
strong part, as is the old southern
colonel, her father. It is a large
cast, and Mr. Keane utilizes the
full strength of his company. He
has two other beautiful ladies.
Mme. Corinne will also execute sev­
eral piano selections.
The lady is
a clever musician, and has graced
many a musical recital in the large
cities o f the east. The play of “ Es­
meralda” has beautiful music run­
ning all through it, and abounds in
comedy and
heroic situations.
The house should be packed for
tnis offering.
Mr. Keane is under
'■eavy expense and on his next
a .
particularly should he be
*. A patronized.
The play is a
beautiful moral story, and sends
every man and woman home with a
feeling that there are better things
in life. The play had the most ex­
traordinary run in New York City,
playing without a break for two
entire years in one theatre.
After
Mr. Keane finishes his engagement
in Marshfield on Saturday June
27th, he goes by steamer to Eureka
and two weeks later will play for
an entire week
at Marshfield,
changing the play each night.
Should this visit here tomorrow
evening June 24, prove profitable,
Mr. Keane will again visit us upon
his return from Eureka.
Consul Thomwell Haynes re­
ports from Rouen, May 13, 1903, as
follows: “ It is stated at the Ville
juit slaughter houses 23,000 horses
are killed annually, and at Pantin
7,500, making a total of 30,500.
Of this number 19,500 are con­
sumed in the environs of PariB,
leaving a consumption of 19,500 in
the city itself. The average weight
of each horse is said to be 551.
One third, of this, however, is com­
posed of bone and sinew sold as
waste, at 77 cents per 440 pounds.
There remains therefore, about 368
pounds of marketable moat to each
horse, which would give a total
consumption of 7,178,177 pounds
annually.
Owing to the increase
in the price of horses in this
country, the Columbia river can­
nery of horse meat has been closed
for some time.
That target for adverse criticism,
the army department, has done one
thing, at least, that will call down
on it’s head praise instead of
blame. I t ’s recent order compell­
ing those members of the Army or­
ganization who married Filipino
women while in the Philippines to
recognize them as their legal wives
under pain of forfeiting their com­
missions will commend itself to
those who have at heart the moral
welfare of the nation. Incidentally,
the order may lessen the popularity
of that familiar army air, “ The
Girl I Left Behind Me,” end it’s a
safe wager that hereafter “ My Fili­
pino Lady” will not be the mort ap­
plauded two-step at an army post
dance.

There seems to be an eternal fit­
ness in most things.
The latest
evidence of tho truth of this state­
ment is exemplified by the fact that
the penny is the smallest piece iu
the monetary svatem of the United
States, nnd that Pennypacker, of
Pennsylvania is the smallest piece of
humanity that sits in the executive
chair of a sovereign state.
President Francis has the assur­
ance that King Edward of England,
King William of Germany, and King
Alphonso of Spain will be in attend­
ance at the world’s fair.
Now, if
Mr. Francis can persuade the festive
rulers of Belgium and Saxony to
come, be can boast that his big band
was composed o i three kings and a
pair of jacks.

The courage with which Kansas
City has met her recent affliction has
commanded the respect of the entire

Last Sabbath afternoon at
3
o ’clock thesky was clear at Heppner
and the people of the little town
enjoyed the beautiful summer day.
An hour later clouds were seen in
the north and a slight, wind blew
down the Valley of Willow Creek.
Rain then began to fall and the
peaceful villagers sought their
homes which soon wero to become
carnal houses, wrecked and scatter­
ed.
At 5:80 that afternoon a terrific
storm arose and those who watched
it saw an avalanche of water break
from the black clouds and in tor­
rents wash down upon the unpro­
tected village.
Within an hour probably 200
souls had ceased to live, and the
dead and mangled bodies were
scattered for 20 miles down the
current. Then darkness.
When the disaster became known
in Portland Monday a special train
was at once dispatched to a point
as near the scene of the disaster as
possible. Everythiug was wreck
and ruin.
Tuesday saw the beginning of re­
lief work' and the awful task of
searching for the dead.
Wednesday a thousand willing
hands wore employed and more than
100 victims of the flood had been
recovered.
Thursday there were cries from
the destitute and they were heard.
From about the state came contri­
butions of money and of supplies,
and the work of organizing the
searching parties was effected.
Friday teree had beeu found 157
dead—whole families were taken
from the piles of debris that were
scattered through the town and far
below it.
Today 160 persons are known to
have perished for this number has
been found. Today there are grave
fears of contagion and the call for
more funds is repeated.
Today
railroad communication has again
been ettablished between the deso­
late town and the outside world.
Today there comes from all over the
state aid for the suffering and for
the rehabilitation of the devastated
place. But the money given is not
enough.
So in six short days a tragedy in
all its phases has been enacted. It
took but an hour to create the ruin.
It will be years before the horrors
of the disaster are dimmed, nnd not
then.— Portland Daily Journal.

Mrs. E. A. Williams returned

Smith and sister-in-law, Mrs. J.
Bargley, of Eureka, who will spend

went to Port Orford Fiiday to visit
with a brother for a week.
Quite an excitement was created
among our people last Thursday
evening when the intelligence went
out that a strauge mao who claim­
ed to be a sailor was performing
annoying pranks such as chasing
the children and pillaging the
houses with clubs. He made an
attack on the school house and
frightened the children.
He was
taken to Coquille Friday and giveD
over to proper authorities.
