That lady clerk business is getting to
be scandalous. No wife would rest easy
at her home it she realized what temta
tions surrounded her husband at the gay
capital. Men are but human, and if some
of tbem fall under tbe circumstances it
is not surprising. The women are pret
ty, they are young, and are in committee
irooma, and, worst of all, the have but
little work to do. Of the nearly $20,000
expended in that way all but about S3,
000 is worse than thrown away. The
most of the lady olerks are perfect ladies
but some of them are not, and the few so
taint tbe whole that it is the common
talk that something should be done.

Tbe Gazette's dramatia reporter was
present on both evenings, the l5tb and
IGlh insts., the occasions of the rendi
tion of "Damon and Pythias," and must
say from both a dramatio and financial
standpoint, the play was most success
ful. Much oredit is due to Mr. Wm.
Rasmus, who bad full charge of the
play, and if our "home tolent" did their
work in a oreditable manner, from the
public's standpoint, and which our re
porter confidently believes was tbe case,
it ib all due to the training received from
Mr. Easmua, who bas put on the drama
in nearly every important town in the
state of Washington.
Mr. Rasmus as Damon is well adapted
to that port. Damon, in the language
of Dionysius, is one "who bangs out hie
austerity for sale, in frowns, closed lips,
and pitby sentences." As a patriot and
senator he made a deep impression on
the audience, and, from a Drofp'"""l
ilnnnpolut, portrayed the obaraoter
most admirably. He bas appeared
before tbe best audienoes in tbe North
west, and has always received their
universal praise.
Mrs. Wm. Rnsmus, as Calanthe, was a
complete success. Her face, figure and
imperaonatiun of character were such
as to impress the audience with her
peculiar fitness for that place. Mrs.
Knemus won the heartiest applause on
both eveuings.
Hermion, impersonated by Mrs. H.
MoFarland, won the hearts of the audi-
enoe from the very start. Mrs. MoFar
land has not a strong voice, but it was
so full of tenderness in her devotion, love
and feeling in the final parting scene be.
tween heraelt and Damon, that the writer
would say for her first effort, she was
voted at once aa a very successful Her-
8. S. Hornor, the valiant Pythias, has
a voice and a form well calculated for tbe
part he took. Next to Damon, this is the
moat important charaoter in tbe play, and
in all Heppner a better selection could
not have been made.
Tbe tyrant, Dionysius, ss portrayed
by Mr. H. MoFarland, took bis part well.
The character is a difficult one, and, in
importance, ranks with those of Damon
and Pythias, though in a different line
of aoting. His Bkeptioism iu the matter
of unselfish friendship, and final conver
sion, as portrayed, whs entirely in keep
ing with the character.
F. J. Hallook, as Philistius, the presi
dent of tbe senate, had a lull apprecia
tion of his part. Like the charaoter of
Damocles, represented by Otis Patterson,
both of whom aoted the part of tools in
tbe hands of the tyraut, there were not
many lines, but Mr. Hallock was equal
to every emorgeuoy.
W. B. Potter made a gallant Proclea.
Billy is naturally a dashing fellow, brave
ss a lion and true to a (suit, and though
he became iu character tbe follower ol
the tyrant, bis true nature and staying
qualities asserted themselves, and he
was a 1 rooks all over, isillyia rarely
equaled in that part.
Euiil Voroz, aa the Italian slave, Lu
callus, was equal to the occasion. He
rather excelled himself in last night's
performance.
Little Lutie Rasmus, aa Damon's ohild
deserves especial meutiou. Though so
young iu years, she had a full understand
ing of ber part, and as such, brought
tears to the eyes of the audience. Nat
urally of a sweet disposition, she was
what the writer would call an ideal
"Master Willie,"
It was certainly the best play overpro
duced in Heppner, either by amateurs
or professionals. It ao far excelled the
expectations of the public, that few, if
auy, criticisms were made oo the play as
a wbole.
Financially, it was quite successful.
Dorio Lodge is most thaukful tot lie good
people of Heppner who so generously
patrouised the play, and our reporter
oonfideutly believes that they will be
better men and women by having seen
the portreval of tbe ideal of friendship
which all knights of Pythias love, honor
and cherish.
Almost every intelligent person is fa
miliar with the nutional guard. And
every brond minded person ooccedes its
importance to the civil authorities and
the general. government in maintaining
aw and order. The organization of tbe
state militia dates back to tbe days of
tbe American revolution. The militia
was at this time tbe result of a righteous
uprising of an indignant and oppressed
people, and we are today, through its
efforts, a grand and free government. Is
t any wonder that we, the sons of our
bone ed forefathers whose blood stained
the ground at Lexington, should inherit
their spirit of freedom and perpetuate it
through the organization of a state mili
tia? Again we find tbe state militia up
holding tbe general government in 1812
and in 1846.
When in 1861 tbe falling walls of Fort
Sumpter startled the nations, announc
ing what was to be one of tbe deadliest
and most destructive wars man ever saw,
and before the smoke of its ruins bad
olt ared away, tbe state militia was maroh-
ing on to victory singing "We are coming
Father Abraham, 60,000 strong."
Tbe services rendered by the state mili
tia to tbe states and general government,
is of a value that cannot be over esti
mated. Tbe national guard, in whatever
state in tbe union tbey may organize,
have a right to expect from their legisla
tive bodies such appreciation of their
efforts as will cuuee their endeavors to
be most effective. It is said our people
are a people of peace. Tbe advantages
of our location, and the fact that the de
nomination of our country is easily sus
tained, inculcates in our people a desire
for pesos and a natural dislike for need
less war. And yet there are those of us
who can witness the fact that when our
people, North and South, believes that
duty calls upon them to become soldiers,
no hardships are too severe to be borne,
and no amount of bloodshedding can be
in excesa of what they are willing to en
dure. The valor they have exhibited in
h j..!, .o oM aua Hum uui mner
most hearts thank God that we stand
today united, with loyalty to one flag.
As we look into the future it is with the
assuranoe that tbere shall never again
exist the clash of internecine Btrife with
in our glorious union. But if we are ever
called upon to do battle, it will be wheD
we, the North and South, march elbow to
elbow, united in one cause, for the de
fense of our grand and free republic
It is unquestionably the duty of the
legislative assemblies to so legislate that
citizens who have a deaire for a military
life and who wish to take advantage of
military training, in times of ptaoe, so
that tbey will be moBt effeotive a time
of strife, shall have that opportuiitv and
shall be so equipped aa to make tbem a
most eflloient body in action. Tw t hings
are the natural characteristics olthe cit
izen soldier. First, he learns to pomptly
obey all orderB from superiors, teoond,
every officer is courteous in hisensider
ation tor those under his oomraod, and
as is neoessary to maintain stric disci
pline. It is erroneously thong t by a
great many that to become a member of
the national guard involves the Surren
der of manhood, to a greater or es ex
tent. This is not true, and a oiwon ao'
dier who promptly observe the lrform-
ance of his duties, and etrictlyVlheres
to all rules and regulations of ailitary
etiquette, stands on a loftier plr j than
tbe average citizen. It inonloi, s love
of home and country and ever laps the
stars and stripes of liberty in tb hearts
of all Americans.
A national guard well drilled td thor
oughly disciplined beoomej agret pow
er; a power, wbioh was ;'uot foi good,
oould not be easily oonied. The men
who compose our natiouuuatd ire alert
to see and quick to perform the duties
assigned tbem; or, in other word when
ell disciplined, are most valuab in all
their relations of life by reason - that
discipline. To this faot they oo.e to
consider and appreciate, more thi they
otherwise would, the effect and vae of
deliberate orders promptly exeaut. A
thorough military schooling todats a
most valuable adjunot to every tlahfe,
and every mau who is a good soldi is,
therelore, a more valuable oitizen. t is
when our homes are invaded, rigbtare
infringed, wheu our personal freedt or
the dignity of ouraouutry is in perisat
we fully appreciate ine need or ?ee
men, who in time of peace are oontted
to use the pen, but never willing tod

During tbe past twenty-three yearne
militia of thirty states bas been c(J
upon to assist the civil authoritien
auppresug mob violence, some of wh
have had their militia in aotual sere
over twenty times, at a cost to the ats
of tboussuds of dollars. The Orei
National Guard bas bad its share to t

have responded to the call for duty .
plainly shown that tbey oare more
their duly to the state than any pomp
show. Tbe guard has about 1,500 met
its ranks. This nuoleus is to the voir
teers, as West Point is to the regular army.
They should be thoroughly equipped and
placed in a position equal to that of any
Eastern state. Our citizen soldiery ask
for no remuneration for the services they
give, do compensation for what to them
is their duty, and no one bas ever beard
them ask anything of tbeir country
Surely our legislative body will not fail
to recognize the claims our citizen sol
diery have npon tbe state, and extend to
tbem the aid so sorely needed and so
richly merited. Militant.
TEACHERS' SALARIES.
Among all tbe professions we find none
which is so injurious to health and phys
ioally wrecks men so early in life, as that
of the faithful pedagogue. And yet, he
is oompelled to take into consideration
the starvation poiot, to wbioh the small
salaries of men and women, who are gen
erous enongh to spend their time and
strength in teaching our young minds,
has reached.
To our people, politics seem to be first
in importance, and education second. Ib
not this a great mistake, we earnestly
ask ? Hundreds of dollars oan be squan
dered for political purposes, but in tbe
teacheis' profession a system ofso-oalled
economy must be practiced, and tbe
oheapest teaober must be employed. But
this is not all, for whenever a reduction
of expenses is neoessary, his salary must
be reduced.
Many of our rural school boards seem
to carry tbe ruinous idea that alow priced
teacher is a cheap teacher. Tbey are
mistaken. For ao energetio and progres
sive teacher, who has spent months, even
years in careful preparation iu a normal
sohool; or baa, by his own energy and
push, fully qualified himself for the pro
fession, will reluotautly aocept such
meagre wages. Why should he? Has
he not a perfeot right to some encour
agement, some remuneration for his la
bor, time and money spent? Yet, at the
present day, be is almost obliged to ao
cept the small compensation, and thus it
is that he is constantly bribed, as it were,
by the miserable wages that are given
him, to leave bis teaobing as soon as
he acquires experience. If there is one
place where we ought to induce people
to make their profession a life business,
it is the teaohing of schools. It is only
through his own energy, perseverance
and k a orifice, that be is progressive as he
ahonld be.
"Politicians seem to think," says a
vigorous writer, "that farmers and teaoh
era are the only classes tbey may kick
with impunity. If they would pretend
to retrenoh, they strike first at tbe sala
ries of the harmless pedagogue."
The oensus of 1880 shows tbe maxi
mum average of teachers' salaries in any
one section of the onion to be $077; in
tbe Distriot of Columbia, tbe minimum,
$52; in North Carolina, with an annual
average salary in tbe United States of
$230.37, a sum less than that paid to
common railroad laborers, or to breakers
of stone npon our pnblio highways. Bays
Mr. Shimmel, of Philadelphia, "No fea
ture of the American eduoalional system
is so discouraging to teachers, as the un
certainty of tbeir tenure of office, low
wages, frequent examinations, and short
terms all tend to degrade tbe profession,
but the worst of all is to be dismissed
witbont cause." Tbe frequent changes
of teachers is a detriment to the success
of any school. When a teaober bas been
employed who bas proved lo be faithful
and eflloient, be can begin a new term
with great advantage over a new teacher,
and should be retained from term to
term, and a salary of a few dollars more
or leas is of small consequence. Then
we will make tbe teaohers' profession
something better than an army of oarpst-
baggers and tramps. The best teachers
will then be secured, and instead of drop
ping out, will then have ipduoemeuts to
enter tbe work as a vocation, and the
plaoes of the young end inexperienced
will rapidly be filled by the skillful ones.
With short terms aud frequent changes,
school work oau be little else tbsn a
mere experiment. Our schools will nev
er equal those of Europe until we secure
tenure of offioe for the faithful Bnd effi
cient teacher, aud make provision for tbe
proper remuneration for tbe work to be
accomplished, tbus eucoursging and in
viting the talented teaober, and inspiring
the young and inexperienced to more
tborongb preparation for the work.

STRICKEN DEAD.
TRUSTWORTHY STATEMENTS.
A recent New York dispatch reads;
"James C. H , a tine looking and
apparently healthy man, was observed to
stagger while walking on Fifth Avenue this
afternoon, and after taking one or two un
certain steps fell to the sidewalk. When
picked up he was dead. A physician ei
amined the body.and pronounced heartdiseass
the cause of death. A peculiarly sod feature
of the case is that Mr. H was on his
way to Maine, to settle in the home of his
boyhood, lie had passed the previous ten
years in the western mining country, and had
amassed a fortune. If YOU have any of the
symptoms given in the following testimonials
you should lose no time in seeking relief.
From John L. Roberts, Slatington, Pa.:
"I have suffered with palpitation, irregular
pulse, fainting and mothering spells, pain in
shoulders, side, and arms for oner forty years.
For twelve years have been treated without
avail by prominent physicians in my neigh
borhood and in New York. Growing con
stantly worse, smothering spells followed one
another, so my life was often in danger and
I needed constant care. A amy son had been
cured by Dr. Miles' New Heart Care, he sent
me three bottles. The first dose gave roe
instant relief. Before using the last bottle
I was completely cured. Although seventy
five years old I feel twenty years younger.
I claim my cure to be almost a miracle."
Here is a letter from Mrs. John Kolges,
of Cleveland, O. : " I had been troubled with
my heart and stomach for years, but for six
teen months had been confined to my bed.
I had four of the best doctors in the city, but
none of them could benefit the weakness of my
heart. I also had dropsy and rheumatism.
I never took medicine that relieved me at
once as Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure does. I
am much stronger. My appetite is splendid.
I gain strength with every dose. I have
gained more in six weeks from your treat
ment than in sixteen months irom all the
doctors."
"Dr. Miles' Nea Cure for the Heart is sold
on a positive guarantee by all druggists.
It is safe, effective, aqreeable, and does cure."
