ibrists and riders, combined with the
congress of marvelously trained animals,
makes almost a city in itself under the
enormous new terns which houses this
really wonderful organization known as
the New Norris & Rowe Greater Shows.
Tiie costumes for this -parade were made
especially for it and we are assured that
no other attraction has ever gone to so
great an expensb in this matter, however
it is eitnply a matter of personal pride
with Norris & Rowe to have the best and
most expensive street display ever ex
hibited in this section. Dozeis of new
wagons epic, span, new, and in all the
brilliancy of red and gold paint ; dozens
of rare and wild beasts, elephats,tigers,
lions, tapirs, etc. Hundred of educated
ponies and horses in all the glory of gay
trappings, make a veritable feast of color
for the eye and a spectacular parade
which will be long remembered as one
of the best features of the modern - big
circus. Norria & Rowe will exhibit here

The law requires an attendance
of i6 hours for every teacher, not

The day sessions will be strict

promise will be carried out.
The public are most cordially in
vited to both the day and even
ing sessions, and everything will
be done to make the occasion one
of pleasure and profit to every
visitor.
Goethe's Faust.
It is saying a good deal to al
lege that Geothe's Faust stands
ahead of any of Shakespeare's
plays, and yet this is exactly the
position accorded it by the most
eminent literary critics. . It is
justly "entitled to be called the
greatest ot all dramas.
It is a play that depicts a hu
man soul tormented by all that
affects mankind; shaken by all
that disturbs it and made happy
by all that it desires. Its plot is
simple but character is sketched
in every line; each line is made
to stand for eternity and the
poem has entered as a whole into
the mind and thought of modern
Germany. -
Because of its simplicity it is
well adapted to stage production,
not requiring the extraordinary
talent necessary to properly rep
resent a Shakesperean drama,
but it is one that ; admits of the
use of extravagant scenery and
scenic effects.
It will be presented for the first
time in Corvallis on Saturday
evening at the Opera House by
the Palmer Company, who carry
their own special scenery for the
entire four acts, and appliances
for producing the light effects
necessary to the production.
The Company carry their own
band and orchestra and will give
a concert on Main street at 3 p.
m. Tickets on sale at Graham
& Wortham's. Popular prices.
Eggs 17 cents. - "
Mohair 32$ cents. '.'
