The second , lam and irreatest uight of the May Iestival ot tuuslo witnessed the production uf Haydn's "Creation." Ail audience nf over 10(0 people warmed up in appreciation of the in spiring music and the applause gree - itiR soloist, chorus and orclies- ra alike was profuse. Never before has a musical perform ance 'f litis magnitude been given in E'igriie. lis success was complete and eveu more than iiuticipiited by b,v those who labored so hard to bring 11 about. Tbe soloists of the evening were Mis R U Brooks, soprano, of Eugeue; Mr I M Glen, baritone, Eugene; Mr W II Boyer, teuor, of Portland Mr W Giflonl Nash, of Eugene, was director. The chorus was composed of the com bined oratorio societies of rnrvalliH, Albany and Euuetie. The orchestra was composed of 20 instruments, with Mr Reginald L Hidden as of cert master. F10111 this cotnbinatiou of musicians, therefore, it Is little lo b wondered that the production of "The Creution" could e less thuti excellent. From the orchestral introduction to the 11 mil utimber, the work wa chaiucterized by good interpretation, thorough tritiniiig aud earnest prepa ration. Director Nash had chorus aud orchestra under perfect control, and displayed a rare native gift lu this branch of i he musician's art. Mrs Brooks' favorite number "With verdure clad." She carried hei tones clear and full, showing the the perfect touation of a register re markable for its sweetness aud powet. The soprano recitative portious, re ceived from her a oa refill deliueatiot. Mrs Brooks is a pupil of Mr Win L Whitney, of Boston, a noted Instructor, and son of Miriam Whitney, then. an who made oratorio singiug what It is today. Mr Glen Is also a good inlerpretor of the recitative, which fact o'iy added to the pleasure of his arias. Mr Gleu possesses a baritone of good range powerful, melodious and sympathetic, giving to bis hearers complete enjoy ment. The air, "Rilling in foaming billows" probably did more thau any of this soloists other numbers to dis play his magnetic tone quality, and BuiBued interpretation. Mr Olen Is un questionably the laritoueof Oregon. Mr Boyer carried the teuor honors with the ease marking his tinging everywhere. His voice is extremely plastic and full of tenderness, yet car rying that force so essential to oratorio work. This was the first nppsarance of the popular teuor in this city and Eugene musicians would gladly wel come him again. MrBoyer's wide ac acquaiutanne with oratorio music makes him a valuable and essential adjuuet to Oregon musical effjrt. The choru work was grand , exalting, ennobling. Its power was maguiliceut and lis shading delicate. In the num bers, "Despairing, cursing rage," "Achieved is the glorious work," and the accompaniments to the Bololsts narticularl y did the chorus excel, on more thau one occaslo.i when the chorus ascended to a fortissimo (limit did the audience ri-e to pay its tribute, The Inspiration was irresistible. "01 stars the falreal'Muet for sopraLO and baritone with chorus, was the closing number.

'Tiat you petitioners are iufonmd .Hid believe, and therefore allege the foct to be that suld document Is not the last will aud testament of said deceased but that said document was changed and altered materially and so as to render the same invalid after the pretended execution and attestation of said document; That said pretended will was and is void in that the deceased did not make, sign or declare In the presence of the witnesses to Bald instrument that the Batne was his last will and testl ment, nor was said document so ad mitted to ; probate attested by such witnesses.

They Are Difficult to Under stand-Better Rates Wanted. hi n:u waiidiiiiim: ti.k. Junction City Times, May VI. Iu speaking ol freight rates iu our last Issue it teems our language was misconstrued. We have no desire whatever to misquote rales as at best they are dllllcult to understand. Wo staled thai "the S P rate on w heat lo Portland is 7 1-5 ceuls, while the rate from Eugene to the same point is 5 cents and 4.) from Harrisburir." We should have qualified the statement as follows: TnaSP rate from Junction Ib 7 1-5 cents while the river rate from Harrisbtirg is 4 and only 5 from Eugene. According lo the H P ralo Bhcet the grain rate to Portland Is the same from Harrisiiurg south to Walkers. The grain rate to Ban Francisco Is, how ever, higher from this place than from Harrisburir. This is discrimination in favor ot the latter place although the Intent is denied. Ill order to got the long Haul the S P met the ocean rate by adding the local rate to Port laird, and as Harrlsburg Is flvo miles nearer that point than this place the a'.dcd local rale Is less. The Harrls burg rale on oals Is 70 cents less than from this place, either north or south , and during the past sea-ou Harrlsburg has paid from 1 to 1 cents more per bushel than the Junction buyers. Less than three years ago the grain rate on theS P to Portland was 8 cents. The rate was raised at a single Jump to 12 cents and we have never heard of the waces of the employees being raised. However unless a better rate can be secured arrangements will bo made to build a warehouse on the river. A Hat rate of $1.60 .has been made for grain by the boat. Who's to Blarney News from .Madrid says that Gen. Martinez Campos lias insisted upon the appolntmeut of a commission to investigate the conduit of the war and to placo the responsibility. Careless ness aud neglect all through the war gave rise to the most disastrous condi tions, but no more dangerous than comes from the neglect of the liialth.
