I pressed her: "Do you care for me?" She said: "I dlnna ken." "What! Don't you know your mind?" I cried. She said: "It's warm the day." I asked her: "Will you he my bride?" She said: "I couldna say." "Come, lassie, shall It -be this spring?" She cried: "You're verra free." "Tell me, then, may I buy tho ring?" "Man! Please yoursel'," says she.

BETTER PLAYS WANTED. LAST night the Athon Stock company appeared in "Doris." The house was not as large as one would expect from so good a show town as Medford. The fact is there is a lack of confidence in the management of the Athon Stock company and the public. Mr. Athon is pre pared to give some of the later successes, but these plays are all copyrighted pieces and it requires a royalty of from $100 to $300 per week to get them. Mr. Athon and Mr. dimmer, who is associated with him, have felt that patron age docs not warrant extra expense. This, however, we would consider an error in poliey. Medford is ready to patronize the best. There is only one class of people to draw from in this town, and that is the class that is known as "Highbrows" in the parlance of the show business. And if Mr. Athon will put on some copyright plays, he will find that Medford will respond at once. The company is a good one; some of the members being among the high class of actors, and they are capable of producing first-class plays. Everything has been well staged so far and the opening bill, "The Powers That Be" was a good show and well received. The following play, "Hello Bill," was a farce comedy of the cheaper class. It was well done by the per formers, but the play lacks merit. Business began to drop off on this performance. The present bill is a much better one, but bordering on the melodrama, and Medford does not care for melodrama. Now, Mr. Athon, give such plays as the "Bishop's Carnage," the "Squaw Man," "Paid in Pull," and "Shore Acres" and you will find that Medford will appreciate your effort and crowd your house. The company have been here long enough so that they are known to be not only good actors, but ladies and gentle men, and we have the kindest feeling towards your organ ization. Let's get together engagement of high-class plays. NEW ERA FOR CLUB. BY THE election of C. A. Malboeuf as manager-secretary the Medford Commercial club has inaugurated an era of expansion and growth that should eclipse its brilliant record in the past. In the opinion of the directors, the club have outgrown its present methods. Hitherto clerical and office duties to perform, answering corre spondence and collecting due3. The time has come, with the rapid growth of city and country, when a man with higher qualifications is needed, a man who, besides super vising office details, can manage the publicity work and do the hundred and one needed things essential to the prop er development of this region and the realization of its destiny. vCJ$SM5 The directors believe they have found the right man in Mr. Malboeuf. He is a graduate of the University of Montreal, speaks Prench, German and Italian fluently, has been for many years in the railroad business, resigning recently as district freight cific, and probably has the widest personal acquaintance among business men of anyone in Oregon. He is familiar with every part of the state and possesses considerable ability as a writer. It is hoped to increase the club membership to a thou sand during the next few months, as well as make it much more of a factor in the light and upbuilding of Medford than it has been in the past. ' TELEPHONE PROMOTER ARRESTED AT KLAMATH KLAMATH FALLS, Or., July C Previous operations by " George L. Price, tho Oregon Independent Tele phone company promoter, who was ar rested In this city on a charge of float ing fictitious checks in San Francisco and who escaped from a detective, are related in a letter received In this city from tho Monarch Telephone Supply company of Chicago, and In which surprise Is expressed that Price had the norvo to promote another company in the United States.

They urged a war of ex termination; humanity's dictates wero too refined to bo applied to cases wherein Indians wero con cerned. This class, while- they nf feutod to deplore tho horrible, mas sacres of tho whites, still did their utmost to rouse the Indians to other deeds of like savagury, by in flicting on them unprovoked acts which really bravo ami merciful peo ple abhor. It is a fact that after tilts Lane treaty was signed its pro visions were repoatedly broken b whites, who deliberately murdered unsuspecting and holpluss Indians. Chiof Joe, whom uono of his white contemporaries suspected of false hood, said at the Lane peace confer ence that ho did not bring war, nor seek to retaliate until 14 of his tribe had been shot or hung by the white's. Lest these remarks should be mis understood, tho render is informed that they apply only to that irro snousiblo clement, in the population which has but littlo respect for law and justice, nn a not to that great I body of resectable and law-abiding citizens who cast their lot iu South ern Oregon, and by U0 years of in dustry have mnde it what it is to day.
