At the session the reports of officers will be received and new officers chosen for tho coming year. Lytlo Has Recovered. Dr. W. H. Lytle, state sheep inspec tor and state veterinarian, has Just recovered from a case of the small pox. He was not seriously ill but was forced to be in quarantine for the period of his illness. llootlejtgers" Were Fined. Before Justice of the Peace Joe H. Parkes the two men arrested for bootlegging" at Meacham, C. C. and W. W. Feamster, entered pleas of guilty today. A fine of J50 was im posed upon each by Justice Parkes. It is understood that the two men will pay their fines. Edgar-Wilkinson Nuptials. At the "Baptist parsonage this morning Warren Edgar of Richland, Wash., was un'ted In marriage to Miss Emma Wilkinson of Milton. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Ralph Storey, pastor of the Baptist church. The groom is a farmer of the Richland country and the newly married couple left today for their future home at that place. In the circuit court the case of the Maxwell irrigation company versus L. W. Furnas is still being tried out. At this time the plaintiff testimony is still to be offered and it is anticipated that the hearing will last for several days longer. Many prominent Her mistonians are now here as witnesses upon the two sides of the case now on trial. A GOOD COUGH MIXTURE. Simple Home-Made Remedy That Is Free From Opiates and Harmful Drugs. An effective remedy, that will usu ally break up a cold In twenty-four hours is easily made by mixing to gether in a large bottle two ounces of Glycerine, a half ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whisky. This mixture will cure any cought that is curable, and is not expensive, as it makes enough to last the average family an entire year. Virgin Oil of Pine com pound pure is prepared only in the laboratories of the Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. Last night Mayor Murphy and the gentlemen who are to constitute the city council after the first of the year held a caucus for the purpose of dis cussing prospective appointees for city office and also to talk over other problems that will be up to the ad ministration. If reports now current are to be relied upon there will be but one change in the present personnel of the city officials. The position""" of city physic'an, now held by Dr. W. G. Cole, is to be tendered to Dr. D. J. McFall, according to a rumor that is prevalent today. All other offices will be retained by the present incumbents, so it is generally understood. Chief of Po lice Gurdane will cont'nue to be the head of tho police department. Judge Thomas Fitz Gerald will continue to hold down the municipal bench and City Attorney Raley will continue as the city's legal adviser. Of course these appointments will not be made until the new counc'l takes office January 1 and it is possible that some surprises may be sprung at that time. However, it is now a pretty settled conviction among those who are familiar with. affairs that. there will be nothing doing in the way of official changes save in the office of city physician. It is now understood that there will be a vacancy in the councilmanlc del egation from the f rst ward. C. W. Brownfield, who was elected to that position refuses to qualify and it is understood that Councilman Mumm declines to continue in his present po sition during another term. Should this prove the, case a councilman will have to be appointed from that ward. President Kerr Coming. President W. J. Kerr, head of the Oregon Agricultural College, will ar rive in the city this evening and will be a guest of honor at the O. A. C reception tonight. During the recep tion President Kerr will give a brief address. A musical program will also be given during the evening and the remainder of the time devoted to dancing. The reception will com mence at 9 o'clock. Dr. Smith Gave Lecture. At Pilot Rock last evening Dr. C. J. Smith gave a lecture upon the sub ject of "Palestine and the Holy Land." The lecture was given for the benefit of the Pilot Rock athletic club, which has a membership of 50, and the en tertainment was well attended and enjoyed, according to numerous re ports received from that town today. Dr. Smith and family travelled through the Holy Land while abroad last year. Repairing Press. This evening's issue of the East Oregonlnn is late In reach ing local subscribers because the press has been undergoing repairs during tho day. The do lay this evening has been una voidable and the blame for late delivery of the paper should not be placed upon the carriers. DIG COMBINE FINANCED.

Dated this 29th day of December, 1909. TOM GURDANE. City Marshal. London. American theatrical suc cesses continue to prove failures In England. "The Servant of the House," like "The Great Divide," has played to empty houses. "The Pass ing of the Third Floor Back" is also a failure, and there is every indica tion that the Vndon playgoer will not tolerate plays which cause him to think. The theatre, to his mind, is purely for amusement, and thoughtful and serious themes are banned as fail ures. "Mid-Channel," "False Gods," and "Madam X." are cases in point. The result Is that London is losing Its serious actors, who are going to America. Beerbom Tree and Charles Wyndham are contemplating lengthy American tours. The only manager feeling the Eng lish theatrical pulse accurately Is George Edwards. He gives all the fllppance required and his theatre Is filled dally and nightly, while the the atres of the serious drama hover on the edge of bankruptcy. Are Selling Tickets. The ladles of the library and civic club have placed tickets for "Sweet Innisfallen" on sale at the Tallman and Koeppen drug stores. These tick ets must afterwards be exohangel for reserved seats at the Pendlc.on drug store.

Several box parties and watch parties are, being formed for the occasion. DEP'T OF WIIJ, AGRICULTURE ENLIGHTEN FARMERS Encampment Banquet Tomorrow.

"I believe a society girl should have as good an appetite any workUigman and should work Just as hard. With the people who give monkey dinners or society girls who Jump Into fountains to create spnsatlons. I have no patience." Frederick Townsend Mnrtln, mem ber of New York's "400" made the foregoing nsertslon. 'A real society woman should make erself a useful member of the com munity," he continued. "When she comes home from honest work In hospitals or charitable enterprises she shoulud sit down to a meal with a enrty relish stimulated by her dally useful tasks. Tn brief, T am for the people, not for Inane frivolity." E. Clarence Jones, a .New tors. hanker, necompnnled Mr. .Martin.
