KOSEMURG, DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY SU. lltMI. No. 127 IJj SCHOOL PARADE MIES GREAT SHOWING No Trouble or Work Spared By Teachers or Pupils. BOY SCOUTS APPEAR IN NEW UNIFORMS raraUe of School Children is One of the Most Attractive Features . of the Tlirce Days of Carnival, The pleasant weather this morn ing was the finishing touch which was all that was needed to make the school parade one of the most suc cessful features of the carnival. Al though no prizes were offered, no ef forts were spared by teachers and pupils to make their parade as ef fective as possible, and the different schools drew much applause in pass ing. They formed in line opposite the station, marching toward Cass, east on Cass, and on Jackson to Douglas where they disbanded at the courthouse. Prof. F. B. Hamlin, as chairman of the parade, had charge of the plac ing of the schools and all minor de tails, and the parade started soon after ten o'clock. Mr. C. W. Parrott, Grand Marshal for the parade, led on horseback, setting the pace. Im mediately following was the Rose burg Concert band, playing march music. Next in order came ine Queen's float in which were Queen ' Jessie, her maids and pages, the decorated auto in which the king was seated, and the float for the chil dren's queen. The little queen, Miss Verus Houser, did not participate In the parade today on account of the sudden death of her grandfather, Mr. R. G. Houser, yesterday. Her throne was occupied by Miss Maurine Bu chananan. Following this float were the 3 grade schools, Benson, Fuller ton and Rose, with the High School bringing up the rear in a long ser pentine. Miss Mary Aitken's pri mary pupils led the Benson school, the little tots marching in fours, each row carrying the Odd Fellows em blem, the three links, In red white - and blue. At a signal I'he band stopped and the children raised their symbols which brought applause from the onlookeds. The remaining grades of the Benson school were uniform in carrying flags and wreaths. A pretty effect was secur ed at a given signal by a halt, when the riags were crossed and the wreaths raised on high. The teach ers of the various grades walked be side their pupils. The boy scouts followed, accom panied by their scout master, R. S. J. Hamilton, all in uniform. Then came the Roseburg Juvenile band, led by Bandmaster Wright, also in uniform, and rendered very splendid march music. The two bands were necessary, for the line of march was too long for all to hoar the music of the foremost band. The Fullerton school was headed by a bevy of girls dressed in red frocks and carrying a banner in the Fullerton colors, red and white. Fol lowing were the other grades dis tinguished by caps In patriotic colors and pure white. The formation of the marchers when seen from above spelled out the word Fullerton very clearly, the loiters alternating in rod and while, The Rose school carried out their name by appearing In the march with a bewildering mass of fluttering tiB sue paper roses entirely carried out in pink. A group of boys dressed In white, led this school. They carried a banner bearing the Inscription "Rojc" worked out In pink roses on a white back ground. Long stream ers of roses suspended from this and were held by the white clad youths. The remaining grades of the school -iirched In order, beginning with the primary pupils of Mica Parrott. Several May pole effects were no ticeable for their loveliness, the others marching in twos, connected WHO IS THK KING OF THK CARNIVAL? The News makes the follow ing prediction upon the identity of King Fragaria: That he is In the clothing and furnishing business In this city. That he is a member of the Trotters Club and an enthusias tic dancer. That bis name is A. A. Wilder. Are we right? Will tell you tomorrow. by strings of the pink roses upheld on the poles which all carried. This was the most elaborate feature of the parade, and, as the children, almost without exception were dressed in white from head to toe, the effect was very pretty. The high school turned out in splendid force for their serpentine march through the streets as a grand finale to the parade, and the fac ulty proved true to their colors, bringing up the rear. Cries of "pikers" were heard from the march ers as they espied an occasional student among the onlookers, for all had been expected to join for the glory of the school. This parade never fails to excite a great deal of interest, for there is scarcely a citizen who is not interest ed in some child In the schools. ILLNESS OF EMPIRE DUILDER NECESSITATES CONSULTATION' ST. PAUL, May 26. Louis Hill, son of J. J.

W. L. Patterson, a prominent cigar dealer of this city killed bis wife and daughter early this morn ing, after which he shot himself through the temple.

The record crowd which thronged the streets of the city today began to gather from the surrounding country early in the day. Every road leading into the city was filled with automo biles and other conveyauces, filled with people bound for Roseburg and the Strawberry carnival. The clouds which obscured the sun early this morning soon were dis persed, ad shortly after 11 o'clock Old Sol smiled genially upon the city arid its happy crowds. Every neighboring town within a radius of many miles had sent repre sentatives to the county seat of Douglas county and many took this occasion to renew acquaintanceships made at this time last year. At nine o'clock this morning the Juvenile band started the festivities of the day by a band concert at the display building on the depot grounds. The boys have been giving splendid music and have made won derful advancement under the lead ership of Prof. Wright, and the citi zens of the city can well be proud of the organization. At ten o'clock the school children's parade started. Thejudglng of the strawberry ex hibits also took place at ten o'clock this morning. While the weather has not been at all favorable for the development of berries during the past few weeks, the carnival com mittee by hard work managed to have a splendid display of the lus cious fruit and It was very evidentl XHIBITS OKLAHOMA, OIL-BURNING SUPER-DREADNOUGHT, IS LATEST U ADDITION TO UNCLE SAM'S FIGHTING FORCES ON THE i ft &$k0(P&Ri Top, prayer and Invocation on Oklahoma's deck; botluin.

M. Ander son, of Melrose, second, and Wm. Pemberton third. On the artistic displays the first prize was won by W. A. Sussmllch, of Wilbur. Mr. Sussmilch Is an ar tist of exceptional ability and seeing llamiuot and Rouuiou of l'aMt Grand the lack of an emblem for the Btrsw berry carnival, formed a design In which three letters, R. S. C. are en twined In a beautiful manner. He submitted the plan to the commit- tee, and it will undoubtedly be of- flclully adopted. The exhibit which he submitted consisted of this de- sign worked out in strawberries. The "R" in green berries, the "S" in ripe red borrles and the "C" in white blossoms. The monogram was cen tered on a background of moss sur rounded by strawberry plants. The second prize was given to Wm.

His son, Mori Austin, took third prize with an an- chor constructed entirely of Btraw- berries. The members of the commltte have! purchased several boxes of borrtosj and are giving out numbers of thein to each visitors.
