' ,- A Strong Attraction. Manager Groves of the Opera House makes : special announce ment that he has complefed all arrangemeuts for the appearance at the Opera . House on .November, 25th of the Misses Ethel lialch and Marie Lamour supported by Fred eric Murphey and a strong company in Wilfred Clark s London success. 'A, Who "Woman". The comedy is said to be an exceptionally bright piece of farcical writing. It was originally presented at the Strand theatre, London, where it played to remarkably big business during a long engagement of Zoo nights. The farce which the critics declare to be exceptionally well developed and interesting throughout is ar- ranged 10 aamit 01 me iniroaucuon of a number of nigh class spec ialties, without which any farce in these days would be deemed in complete. Wilfred Clarke, the author of the comedy, and who is incidentally the sob of the ate John Sleeper ' Clarke, the famous comedian, has staged the produc tion himself, and this important detail is said to have been carried out in a most "artistic manner. Frederic Murphy, the leading man of the organization, became well known . to 'many patrons of the drama through his long connection with Julia Marlowe s company. Pleased With Their Treatment. An account of the game last Saturday in this citv between the foatball teams of Pacific uni versity and the O A C, sent from Forest Grove to the Telegram, has these very complimentary things to say of the college lads and tue. citizens of Corvallis The Oregon Agricultural Col lege has not held the greatest favor of the athletic public in years past, but the game of Sat urday was one of the most satis factory that has ever been played between the-two schools. The November, " 1898, game, which resulted in a tie 5 to 5 was ., . , , -1 ,. tlie raiisp nf considerable feplino- , ,, " 011 the part of all those concern-i ed, but the "Banners certainly aemonstrated, saturaay, that their team is composed not mire lv of football players, but that every member is a true amateur athlete in every sense. - The treatment accorded Pacific Uni versity team in Corvallis made a lasting impression on them, and served to efface any fotmer dif ferences. The standard, which was set by O A . C during and alter Saturday's game, is well worthy of adoption ty some of the more prominent universities of the state. Gault, - Williams, Carnalian and Sweek were the strongest de fenders of "Aeries' ' eoal. Two of Corvallis regular players were out of the game. - Wife ia Name Only. A rather destressing blunder has been committed by the" officials of Multnomab,county although the law making body is perhaps more di rectly responsible. In that county the law states explicitly that the county clerk, and no person else, shall have authority to issue mar riage licenses. No , provision is made for the granting of cartificates in the case of the death of theclerk, and before a successor is appointed. The framer of the law probably could not conceive of a man dying and leaving a fat political job, but the - unexpected has happened. County Clerk Holms died a week ago and no successor has been ap pointed. Multnomah county is without a clerk. Marriage. license have been - issued, however, and ceremonies have been, .performed. Now comes Judge Cake, to Bay that these marriages are illegal; that the license was green goods; that the solem vows were hollow mock ery; that the minister did not earn his fee, and the state of Oregon has been party to a bunco game. There is a serious side p the matter, however, and that is the distress of mind which must be suf tered by the innocent parties in these mock marriages. Of course, they are man and wife to all intents and purposes, but then the agony of another ceremony is not pleas ant to contemplate. ;. -' t A? Mr. Wigle- and Mrs. ; Nelms secured their license since the death pf Clerk, Holmes j,hey "spi of that number who must undergo this or deal , While the county has re funded the money paid for licenses, the ministers have given no assur ance that a rebate may be expected from them. .
