better entertained. The flinging can't
be beat and the sentiment of their songs ;
are becoming more popular. Mr. Knox
as an impersonator can't be beat and
facial conti-rtions will arouse laughter
from the sleepiest audience. Mr. Men

marks were all pointed but in noway
offensive. Misb Meneley and Miss Ed

acting can't be beat.
The bicycliBts are now making good
use of the moonlight evenings. They
all carry a lamp and bell and in order
to gst together the first one out givdS a

Capt. Wheeler at Weston.
From the Leader :
Captain Jason Wheeler, of Albany,
one ot the best known pioneers and
Indian war veterans of Oregon, is renew
ing hie acquaintance with old friends in
this part of the state. He arrived at
Weston yesterday, and expectB to visit
the scene of the Whitman maeeacre near
Walla Walla befoie his return to the
valley. At Athena he viBited his daugh
ter, Mrs. J, S. Morgan.
At Weston Capt. Wheeler encountered
an old-time illamette valley acquaint
ance, R. M. Powers, and a fellow-mem
ber of thw Indian war veteran commis
sion, L. S. Wood, and bas been a guest
while lure at the latter'e residence. He
is a well-pBerved and cheerful old gen
tleman, and his reminiscences ot early
timeB are worth liBtbning to by the
younger brood of Oregonians.
Capt, Wheeler is 78 years old, and
came to Oregon in 1847, 64 years ago.
He has seen the elate grow from a wil
derness into a great commonwealth, and
has aided in Its growth. Shortly after
ii ib ttifvui in iuo atam ti was among
those who responded to the call of Gov
ernor Abernethy, Oregon's first territor
ial executive, to take part in ihe Cayuse
Indian war following the Whitman
massacre, and was severely wounded in
the battle of Well Springs, in what ia
now khown as Gilliam county. An
ounce ball from an Indian's musket
Btruck his kueu, and carried into tbe
flesh splinters from the wooden handle
of an Indian quirt that was danglug at
his side. He never fully recovered from
the effects of this injury. In this war
the volunteers furnished their own
horses and entire equipment, including
arms and ammunition.
The next annual meeting Jof Indian I
war veterans will be held at Portland
June 14tb, and one of Capt. Wheeler's
objects in viBiting this part of the state
ib to arouse interest iu tbe meeting. It
is earnestly desired that the attendance
be a large one, in order that effective ac
tion may be taken with regard to ten
sion legislation.
The State; Fair Secretary M. P,
Wisdom has jUst received from the

mium use ever ouereu in tun state, rue
