some New Hall.
The Kuights of Pythias held a

celebration of the founding of their
order on February 20, 18G3, and the
establishment of Mar'mion Lodge, No.
96, in this city February 19, 1905.
The entertainment was informal,
consisting of music and various social
games. Several excellent musical
numbers were rendered by an im
promptu orchestra, in addition to the
general singing. A delicious lunch
added to the pleasures of the evening.
All who were present unite in declar
ing that they had a royal good time.

proprietors of the big amusement hall.
Mr. Mott will put on each week the
same program that he runs in his
justly famous little theatre in Salem.
The first of these programs, consisting
of moving pictures and illustrated
songs, was given last night with great
success, and proved a welcome addi
tion to the amusement features of our
city.

"Home Missions" services next Sun
day, and special programs have been
prepared. Miss Julia Frazer, synod
ical secretary of the North Pacific
Board of Missions, will deliver an

New Library Books.
The following list of 18 volumes has

Prince Eugene and His Times.
The Daughter of an Empress.
Joseph II. and His Court.
Frederick the Great and His Court.
Frederick the Great and E' Family.
Berlin and Sans Souci.
Goethe and Schiller.
The Merchant of Berlin, and Maria
Theresa and Her Fireman.
Louisa of Prussia and Her Times.
Old Fritz and the New Era.
Andreas Hofer.
Mohammed All and His House.
Henry VIII. and Catharine.
These eighteen volumes contain a
history of the great crises in Germany,
Austria, Russia, England, Egypt,
Swltzerland.France, Holland, Prussia,
during two hundred years of startling
events, told In intensely interesting
and romantic form.
There are many writers of melo
drama who evolve parts as clever as
that of "Old Arkansaw," but few
authors, if any, can equal Fred Ray
mond's ability in introducing comedy
into a play. Those who have seen
"The Missouri Girl" know that fun
predominates in the performance, and
it is said that "Old Arkansaw"
abounds with the same spirit of
humor as Mr. Raymond's former
plays. Old Arkansaw will be seen
here on Monday, February 21, at
Woodman Hall.
The morning train from Falls City
was slightly delayed Wednesday by
the derailment of a log car between
Black Rock and Falls City. The car
left the rails on a sharp curve just as
the engine was crossing one of the
trestles, but the weight of the eight
heavily loaded log cars behind it was
sufficient to hold it to the road bed
until it bad Lumped over the ties to the
other side of the trestle, where it landed
easily against an embankment. Prac
tically no damage was caused, and a
special train was run out to fill the
afternoon passenger schedule.
It should be good news to those who
like clean-cut, original comedy to
know that "Old Arkansaw" will be
seen here Monday, February 24. It
has a plot, and a well defined one at
that; carries more scenery than the
majority of the attractions seen here,
and also many mechanical effects that
will prove new and pleasing. How
ever, good-natured fun is the key-note
that dominates the evening's enter
tainment and Jerry, the "darned old
fool," and the other fun makers will
furnish many a laugh before the night
is over.
