A Number ol People Are Laid Vp
for R-epalra.
Win. Taylor, the S. P. brakemau

frigerator car and stubbed his toe
just as tho car was brought to a stop
by the engine which was attached to
a string ol (nrs. Taylor waa thrown
over the end of the car falling 13 or 15
feet and striking on his shoulder be
tween the tracka at the end of the
car, and was unable to rise. The
trainmen missed his lantern which
had gone ont, and iu the absence of
proper signals went to investigate
the cause. Had the cars gone a few
feet farther, Taylor would surely
have been crushed beneath the wheels.
E. N. Tibbett has been laid up for
the past week or more from a painful
accident. Whilo firing on his loco
motive, a heavy stick of wood fell
from tho tender, striking his foot and
crushing a number of toes. Ho will

was handling sacks of grain in his
store room, a sack of barley fell from
the stack a distance of six or seven
feet, striking Mr. Chiles on the head
and shoulders, while iu a stooping
position. The blow strained Mr.
Chiles' luck and laid him up for a
few days.

with rapid sketches in crayon, which
were reproductions of those of
Davenport's famous cartoons. His
subject was "The Power of the Car
toon. " As well as being a famous
mau with the pen and pencil, Daren
port demonstrated in very delight
ful manner tho fact that ho is just as
clever ns a story teller, for he enter
tained his critical audience with
anecdotes that wero witty or pointed
with charming pathos. S. F. Bulle

Homer Davenport, tho world-famed
oar toon ist, is back to tho scene of his
first triumphs. Tho web-foot state in
the uorth ia the l ind of his birth, but
Sau Francisco is hi adopted city
It waa here he knew his greatest joys
and had hi greatest trials. For
genius, ever slow, If sum, of acknow
ledgmeut, took him by the hand and
led him through tho back alleys and
the sloughs of desjioud aud the quag
mire of uncertainly on the road to
success. Ho ofteu doubted the gen
ius, and was ofteu sore at heart ou
the way ; but he toiled manfully on,
and lot ouo morning he awoke to find
the world at his feet.
Ho worked ou tho "Examiner" iu
the old, old days, wheu cartoons
didn't amount to much, and car
toonists didn't figure high up on the
local staff. Ho was gutting flO
week, and wheu he asked for a 00
raise they fired him, and tho local
staff wa demoralized for a week ou
account of his nerve. They woke up
again oue morning to discover that he
waa worth four times what ho asked,
and they gave It to him without tho
asking. Rumor has It that before he
left the cmphy of Mr. Hearst, hu was
drawing his f20,000 a year.
It pays to be funny. S. F. Post,
March 10.
Davenport will entertain au audi

INAFORE ENJOYED BY ALL
Rendered By the Grants Pass
Choral Union.
The first presentation of the comic
opera "Pinafore" by the Grants Puss
Choral Union delighted a largo audi
ence at tho opera house on Tuesday
evening. Tho general epxresslou is
that the pieoo ia much the best that
yet been giveu by the choral
union. It is lively throughout and
every niuBlcnl number is lull or
molody. Thero is just enough dia
logue to give a pleaing variety to the
entertainment. All tho solo parts nro
well taken aud all the singers cuter
with life into tho spirit of the pro
duction..
The lady soloists aro especially
good in thoir several roles. Mrs. W.
W. Walker as Jospchine, the cap
tain's daughter, has a difficult sopra
no part which she handles easily. Iu
Uditiou to her pleasing vocal ability,
sho has a remarkably charming man
ner iu the dramatic situations that
makes her irreslstablo. Miss Edna Par.
kor as "Little Buttercup" is almost
perfection in her part with a voice
that searches ont tho extremest cor
ners of tho hall lu full, melodious
toue and distinct enunciation. Mrs.
Burt Barnes as "Cousin Hubo" fits
into her rolo a though It had boon
mado for her, and there is au especial
ly pleasing charm iu hor series of
brief solos
In his interpretation of tho part ot
Sir Joseph Porter, T. P. Cramer ex
hibits a high degree of dramiitio
ability aud his solos are well adapt
ed to hi voice. Dick Deadeye, por
trayed by A. E. Yoorhluai, furnishes
a number of mirth provoking situa
tions and his danso in tho second act
I performance that brings dowu
the house. Georgo Cramer, as Ralph
Ruckstraw, tho hero of tho romance,
carries his part well and the powerful
voice of II. L. Andrews is well suited
to his part as Captain Corcoran. J.
M. Booth a boatswain and Prof. F,
E. Young as boatswain's mute take
their parts well, both lu appearance
and iu pre for malice.
The whole production is pleasing
aud somo of tho vocal numbers are
gems of melody. Tho' orchestral
accompaniment adds greatly to the
pleasing nature of the piece. The
orchestra consists of 13 piooes under
the leadership of I'rof. Holla. The
oprea Is given under the able director
ship of II. C. Kluney.
A second performance is given
Wednesday evening.
