Quality guaranteed and prices reasonable, P. M. KIRKLAND, Prop'r PIONEER DRUG STORE. THEY ARE ALL BIGHT. ThatV What Athenaites Think of the ",.' ' Weber people. . , It wast this way. - Every one who went to see the .Weber Dramatic Company in " - Woman's Atonement," last night, at tne Morris buildiog, saw stand' ard people in an up-to-date drama. Ewery seat was filled and standing room occupied back to the doors Every one was well -pleased with : the acting, and all seemed satisfied . with the. evening's entertainment The company is far above the (5) - average that are seen in country towns, and Athena theatre eoera ' are given an opportunity . of seeing mis nrsc-ciass company here only for the s reason that it is merely "putting in time," in order to make oates in renaieton. They travel in their own special car, carry their own scenery, 18 people, band ' and orchestra. The. Weber's are the best seen in this city since the visit of Felix and Eva Vincent, who drew large crowds to: the old Opera House on the north side of i Main street, . which long since pas sed away in . flames with other buildings. - . The Morris building, as all are aware, : is not a fit place for a theatre, especially so is this the case in the matter of having seen ery, the stage and dressing room. But notwithstanding this great drawback: the show people, did their best to please, and we do not hesitate to say that they succeeded. Minnie Parker, as "Dianne Bah . four," proved herself to be an ac treBsof ability,and in emotional and pathetio parts she has wonderful control, force and power.- J. G. MacFarlane, as "Burnel Severn" acted with ease the tyranical, fiendish husband. Marie Langdon had thorough conception of the hard, ironical, scheming "Hester Severn" and her part was render ed without a flaw. Anna Pome roy, was at home in the rural character, "Martha Ann Simpkins," and it "cutlM ice'V with, the children and a large portion of the audience whether the rest of the show was - proceeded with or not, so long as ."Zachaiiah Bradley, J, P., was even . on the Btage. ; Ed. H. Mickle is a rising younj actor, and did very well as "Lawrence Severn". Billy Myers, as Jsrry O'Flannigan could improve the Irish role much in the way of articulation, but even that is lost eight of in his "standing jump." Tonight Webers will be at their best in "Tom Roark's Vision.

The complaint says, among other things which would be ex tremely objectionable if put into print, that on April 7th, 1891, three months after their marriage at Washoe, Nevada, "defendant com menced a course of cruel and in human treatment, and personal in dignities, rendering life burdensome to plaintiff, and still continues to do so, consisting of personal abuse in presence of strangers and when alone; destroying plaintiffs pro perty ; beating and . bruising plain tiff's head, causing blood tp flow from plaintiffs facet leaving scars inflicted with a chair, causing plaintiffs face to swell from the blow received, and destroying plaintiffs sleep by keeping up a continual disturbance at night; rendering cohabitation dangerous and unendurable; accusing plain tift of being a convict out of the penitentiary in Nevada; that Sun day morning she choked and beat plaintiff with a wooden chair; and at night tried to burn plaintiffs ' toes with matches; und threaten ing to break his head with a chair if he went to sleep; that defendant swears she will shoot plaintiff if he comes home late at night, as he must sometimes do." Plaintiff further sets that defen dant is a very powerful woman and able to strke powerful blows and he wants the court to divorce him and grant "him protection'from per sonal violence during pendency of the suit.

Arrangements are being made for one of the largest clam bakes ever attempted on the coast, dur ing the time the 250 editors will be at Yaquina. It is likely it will bo on the second or third day after their arrival. It will be a genuine ''Jersey coast clam bake," consist ing of clams, crabs, fish, chickens, green corn and sweet potatoes with spice and wine sauce. The chef-de-cuisine.of the Portland Hotel is engaged to manage the bake. It is earnestly hoped by the Eastern Oregon editors that the chef will not give to the clams the flavor which had much to do in making Pendleton's bake " celebrated throughout the Pacific Northwest.

HOOD'S PILLS are the best family cathartio and liver medicine Harmless, reliable, sure. Last June Dick Crawford brought his twelve-months-old child, suffer ing from infantile diarrhoea, to me. It had been weaned at four months old and had always been sickly, I gave it tho usual treatment in such cases but without benefit. The child kept growing thiner un till it weighed but little more than when born, or perhaps ten pounds. I then started the father to giving Chamberlain's Cholic, Cholera and Diarrhaea Remedy. Before one 25 cent size bottle had been used a remarkable improvement was seen and its continued use cured the child. Its weakness and puny con stitution disappeared and its father and myself believed the child's life was saved by this remedy. J. T. Marlow, M. D., Tamaro, 111. For sale by Osburn.
