IN Colorado, ^BEN a town wants a oouuty seat, the citizens form a brigade, arm themselves with Winchesters and prooeed to take it.

CONGRESSMAN JOHN L. WILSON, of the State of Washington, formerly of this city, has declined to speak in this State owing to poor health.

MoNEJ-idSNDEHS, owners of mortgage notes and corporation bonds and coupon clippers generally will approve the Democratic theory of removing all taxes from personal property and placing them on land, but what does the farmer say to the proposition?

THE Republican convention of Washington met at Tacoma on Sept. 25 and Hon. John L. Wilson was nominated for Congress by acclamatien. This if quite a compliment to our former towns man and his friends here extend him their hearty congratulations.

THE Demoorats promise to the farmers of the State, whose wealth is mainly in lands, is that the taxes shall be wholly removed from personal property and laid upon real estate. What happy day that will be when the farm ors of the State shall pay the bulk of the taxes. It seems that Henry Georgeism has taken possession of the Democratic party.

WHEN a Democrat wishes to get back at a llspublican when talking about the Mississippi plau of disfranchising the

Jgro, ho points to the Republican ticket and asks why there are no negros' numes upon it. A man's color does not qualify nor disqualify him neither does it lit him for the abuse of any party. While the Republican party believes in rendering justice to all men, it is necessary to look at qualification, both in black aud white.

THE Democracy have added anew wrinkle to their many freaks and have now declared through their organ, the Indianapolis Sentinel, in favor of the Henry George single tax theory, that is that the tax on personal property should be wholly removed and that all taxes should be laid on land. How do the farmeisof Iudiana relish the idea of their lands paying all tlie taxes? The rich men would have their property in bonds, sfcooks and money are to bo exempt from taxation according to the Sentinel's motion and the taxes are to be wholly on laud. What fool theory.

A GOOD many wild guesses are made ooncermug the income of General Wallace from "Ben Hur." Anew story turns up every few days. The following is the latest given by the Chicago Inter-Ocean:

People using four different languages are reading "Ben Hur." by reason of which General Lew Wallace is receiving between $4,000 and §5,000 a year royalty on his remarkable work. He is, of course, engaged on the lx)ok he began when Minister to Turkey, where the scene is laid. The theme is a contrast of the civilization of the Occident aud orient, or the influences of the difl'erent religions upon the growth of civilization. He has not christened it yet, and prefers not to do so till it is completed. The General is a slow worker, aud works only when the inspiration seizes him. If it be midnight he will leave his bed and write till tired, then lay aside the manscript till the spirit again moves.

HON. JAMES A. MOUNT is making a lively canvass in this district for Congress. He has been in Vermillion county this week and has 'left a tine impression where he has been. Being a practical farmer and a working man who works with hia hands, besides a thorough student, he understands the questions that most nearly concern these two classes and discusses them in a most intelligent manner. Himself a soldier for three years his sympathies are with his comrades iu arms on the pension question. It is a sympathy of comradeship and was not begotten by a desire for their votes. He will not hypocritically write letters to soldiera and in the same breath approve Grover

Cleveland in all his vetoes of pension legislation, His sincerity is stamped on all of his speeohes, and his constituents will find iif him an industrious and ntolligent Congressman, just such a man that should represent the Eighth district.

OBERAMMERGAU.

THE PASSION FLA.Y AS SEEN BY SAM B. THOMAS.

An Intensely Interesting Letter Written to His Father After His Visit to the Bavarian Village.

SAIJTZBITRG, AUSTRIA, Wednesday, Sept. 10, 1890,—Friday may not be considered the best day in the week to start on a journey ono wishes to prove pleasant and fortunate, but we left Munich for Oberammergau, on Friday morning, in a hard rain, fully convinced that any ono who could spend seven weeks in the British Isles, where th '"mno'' .2s are a standing joke, ai- uave a single plan upset by bad weather, and who oould go up to Bergen, where they only have about six fine days in the whole year, and have two out of the possible six, oould reasonably look forward to a fine day for tho Passion Play. Before we were many miles out from Munich, the rain had ceased and the sun was shining, giving us a good day for the journey. The distance bv rail is only about 60 miles, but owing to the frequent washouts, oaused by reoent heavy rains, we were nearly six hours on the road a weak spot in a "fill" made it neoessary for us to transfer from our train to another, and as there were a great many passengers, with a large amount of baggage, considerable time was lost at this one plaoe. However, we reached Oberau at lost and took carriages for the remaining eight miles. The road leads up through a narrow valley winding and turning about on the mountain side after the fashion of all mountain roads, until the divide is reached from here there is a Bhort descent, when the sudden twining of a sharp oorner discloses to view a most beautiful little valley, high among the tallest peaks, but rich and green as the lands below. Through this valley flows a small stream, fed by the melting snow of the higher mountains, the Ammer, from which the village along its banks takes its name, Oberammergau. The village is completely shut in by the mountains and is large in extent, to have only 1,400 inhabitants the streets were never laid out as streets usually are I'm sure. Cows driven home from the grazing lands made cross paths, and on these the town must have been built, house after house, for there never was another place quite so irregularly built and with Buch tangled streets. We were driven first to the home of the Burgermaster, to whom we had previously telegraphed for rooms and Beats at the Play we found our names down on his book for rooms and were soon following in the wake of a small boy sent to conduct us to the house where we were to be quartered for most visitors must lodge out in the village, as there are but one or two hotels. We

Eouse,

ulled up before a little whitewashed built in the peouliar Alpine style with flat roof, the eaves extending far beyond the wall protecting the front of the house quite as much as a porch. Just under the upper windows was a narrow balcony, filled with bright colored flowers, beneath this, the out door bencher, for coffee and cigars. The good people weloomed us most kindly, showing us to our rooms up a little ladder sort of a stairway and through a ^dor in the floor we entered the strange little rooms. On all sides were various articles curved from wood. Prominent in each room was a crucifix. The beds were like all German beds only more so having only the upper feather bed for cover. On all beds here you find a small feather bed on top of all. They aro very warm and comfortable, without being heavy. Altogether it was as quaint aud old fashioned as any one could wish and we wore highly pleased.

In all the village there are only about '250 houses, all built with the flat, overhanging roofs, little balconies, whitewashed and frequently decorated with a painting ol the Virgin and group3 from the Scriptural history. Everything in this village now known all over the world, remains as old and picturesque as though no stranger of to-day had ever entered it. The pleasant villagers are as simple and as old-timed as they were a hundred years

ago,

in dialect,

dress, customs and all. Nearly all of them are wood carvers, this being the only thing they can work at in winter, the snow being so deep they must remain in their houses, Once in ten years only is the village visited by people from the world beyond. Then attraoted by the Passion Play, they come by thousands. In order to accommodate suoh great numbers, each house iu tho village places so many beds at the disposal of the Burgermaster, to whom all visitors must apply for rooms. In all the village there are beds for about 5,000 people and sleeping room for about 2,000 more. Every thing is charged for at a very reasonable rate, for the villagers fell honored by the presence of the strangers and wish them to go away feeling kindly toward them. We had one whole day, before the day of the play, aud every minute of it was pleasantly and delightfully spent, walking about among the queer old houses. I must tell you of the Passion Play itsself, for that, of course, iu what has made Oberammergau famous everwhere. Perhaps you don't know the story of the origin of the play. As I remember, it is about like this: In 1G33 the plague was raging most destructively in all the country round about. Oberammergau alone, of all the villages thereabout,was free from the awful pest, and this was only so by reason of the strict quarantine under which the place was kept.

Working in one of the villages far down in the valley was a man of Oberammergau he had a wife and children at home and as the days went by, his desire to be with them again, increased. But the quarantine keep him out at last, though he well knew what would by tho consequence of his act, ho stole by a sleeping sentinel and in the darkness crept to his home. Almost within the day, he and his wife and the little ones lay dead, and the dread disease raged through all the village. A hundred died and all the prayer and supplications seemed in vain. At length the people in their fearful anxiety and distress, met together and made a vow to God, that if he would end the plague, they

would perform a Passion Play every ten years. At once, as by a miracle, the deadly pest disappeared, never to come orth again. The promise made in that time of despair and death, has been faithfully kept, they and their descendants having performed every ten yearn, the Passion Play. The drama is founded upon the gospel and is religious in its aim as well aa in its aubjeot. One cannot bu1- feel, as he looks upon the village aotore in the play, that it is to them, an act of deep and true devotion. Eaoh scene is proceeded by a tableau or piotorial representation from the Old Testament, whioh is supposed to have some reference to the scene about to be given a large ohorus, by epeeoh and song, explains the connection between the tableau and the scene itself. The play opened at 8 o'clook in the morning and lasted until 5 o'olook, with an intermission of an hour and a half for lunch. At 3 o'olook on the morning of the play every one in the village is awakened by the firing of a cannon a little later a band is heard, escorting to the church all those who are to take part in the play, where mass after mass is said for them, and the Lord's supper is partaken of, to properly prepare their minds for tho day's work. At 7 o'clock the church is closed and at the same time the theatre opens and is soon filled by the thousands waiting for admittance. The many costumes, the different nationalities, all in one great mass, make a lively and pioturesque soene. Precisely at 8 o'clook, the discharge of a cannon announces the commencement of the play.- I won't say much about how the play affects one, or whether it may be right or wrong. It ran all day, holding the immense audienoe of 5,000 people in intense interest, from beginning to end. There are about GOO people engaged in the aotion of the drama, and the stage management seems to me almost perfection itself. I have never seen such posing, in tableaux. The orchestra and chorus wore good Brad the music attractive. All the actors impressed me as being thoroughly imbued with the religious spirit of tho play the principal characters are sustained by men and women who have been in the cast formerly—they act wonderfully well. Josef Mayr, as Christ, maintains a gentle dignity and grace, whioh has only come from long acquaintance with the part, he having played it in JI10 and '80. Judas was finely acted too/ The costumes are of the times represented and are verv handsome and rich, as the usual showy stuffs of the stage would not stand the light of day. The most impressive scene is that of the Crucifixion. The curtain rises showing Golgatha. Soldiers, priests and people oocupy the stage. The two thieves are already hanging on the crosses, to whioh they are fastened with ropes, their arms bent back over the cross beams. The large cross Lo whioh Jesus is nailed still lies on the ground. It is soon erected and planted in the ground. Then follows the well known scene. Mary, John aud Magdalene stand by in deepest sorrow the people and priests mock Christ, while the soldiers lying on the ground cast lots for the Lord's garments. Then the familiar words of Christ and at last "I thirst," when a sponge filled with vinegar is put to his mouth then the last words and all is over. Tlus soene is acted so truthfully that the effect upon the great audienoe is indescribable. All is silent save for the sobs and weeping of those who are unable to restrain their emotions. This is soon interrupted by a noise of great thunder and the scene is enveloped in darkness. This terrifies the soldiers aud people on the stage but the news of the temple's veil being rent in twain routs them utterly and they leave the place. The legs of the thieves are crushed by the brutal executioners, their bodies taken down and dragged away. Christ being dead they simply pierce liis breast. This is most terrifying to the spectators because it is suoh a perfect illusion, the blood gushing foith in a stroam upon his breast.

Now all is silent and deserted. Then Nicodemus,and others slowly and reverently take the body from the cross, wrap it in the linen grave clothes with spices and then gently and carefully carry it to tho sepulchre in the backgouud. This ends the holy ecfene. It is awiully real and wonderfully acted. You must imagine its effect. Then are given the last two scenes of the long play, the resurection and the ascension. One leaves the theatre serai cely knowing what to think of what he has seen and heard. No one though can doubt the honesty and sincerity of the performers. The theatre itself is a new building it seats about 5,000 people and is so well arranged that every seat commands a perfect view of all the stage. The stage is made up of an ordinary stage, much larger than any usually seen in a theatre, supplied with all maoliinery, scenery, etc. Here the tabloaux are given and ail the drama that requires a stage set. On eaoh side of this is a street of Jerusalem, an arcade and a palace all of those are strictly in the style of the period represented and make an impression of a beautiful city of old, very grand and imposing. In these palaces on the streets and in the arcades and on the regular stage the aotion takes place/These beautiful settmgs, tho large number of actors, their rioh and handsome oo&tumes make

a scene hard to forgot, so wonderful and impressive is it. The actors re ceive small salaries, most of that which is left after paying for costumes,eto.,going to improve the village, help the poor, the churnk, the hospital, etc. All characters are taken by the people of the village and nearly every home represented. The rehearsals oocupy most of the intervening nine years, BO after all, the fullfillment of the vow, made so long ago,is the chief work of many people of Oberammergau. They are determined no one shall leave disappointed in not being able to see the play when there are too many to get seats at the regular performance, another is given the following day. The little place, when full of strangers from nearly every land, the natives in their picturesque dress, present a gay and pleasing appearance, the crooked streets full of people and conveyances of various kinds, the out door cafes and resturants adding to the life of tho picture. We left the morning after the play, as did many hundreds of others. We were very glad to have seen the Passion Play and enjoyed our stay in the little old village in the valley of the Ammer very, very much. S.B. l1.
