on a charge of obtaining money under
alee pretense, waa arraigned in Just

ttatioo of aeveral witnesses, waa held
to antwer before tbe grand jury with
taO fixed at $100. It aeema that Vail

"A Fisheemak's Luck." Th com
edy drama, "A Fitherman'a LuV
waa patented by local talent in thit

ience of about 250 people. For weeka

rranrementa for thia production, and
had placed th opera house, and par
ticularly th atage, fa sptendta tnap.
Th players, ten oharactera altogether,
did their reapeotiv parte well, etpec
ially it thit true of little Ulady t Piggott,
at "Nellie, th wail of the ocean," whew
every word and act portrayed a natural
talent pottetted by few older pertoni.
To have fully appreciated the play
on should have Ant read th ttoy
pretenled. Mitt Tillie Muckle, aa
"Boa Pretoott," the leading character,
urprited all her friend in th manner
in which her difficult part wat ren
dered. Her courithip witli Mr. 3, (i.
Palmer, aa "Tom Manley, th fisher
man," and Mr. Ed Joteph, at James
Hammond, tha ton of wealthy par
ante, at th tarn time, waa a role that
required no little amount of wit and
courage, but her heart wat finally won
by tha kind treatment and apparent
honesty of purpose of Tom Manley,
notwithstanding th threwd echeniiug
of James Hammond, the wealthy vil
lain. Dr. Ron, at David Morrla, who
turns out to be the father of Bote
Pretoott, presented all that there wat
in hit role, and evoked much applauae
with hit ver ready txpreetion that
"it's tometiting you've got to get uted
to!" Th comedy character! were
Mist Frankie Wy, aa Ruth Manley,
and D. Davit, at Si Kidder, the typical
farmer, neither of whom teemed to

aa their frivolous love making wtt un

and in her variout perplexing finaii
cial difficulties elicited the sympathy
of all, while Ed Philbrook, at Esquire

TWO LADIES SURPmsED.
As a rule, persons te whom surprise
parties art given, are well In the secret and
most needs assume lbs rule of tba vfcUm-
ised, wbsn, In truth, they know all about
It. Bat there are exueplions to every rule
and the following is one, or rather two,
them; Mrs. 3. R. Little of Houlton. waU
known and biphly esteemed by a host
friends, wis hearing her 70th birthday and
the good ladles of Houlton theught it im
ply tbeir duty to give her a surprise party.
Bo one of their number was delegated to go
to ber and find out on lust what day in
April said birthday might occur. Her re
ply waa that while her birthday did occur
in April, the exact date was of no parllcU'
ler consequence to anyone but herself, and
so delegate No. 1 returned no wiser on that
point than when sbs started, and so aa1
other older and wiser in tbe art of finding
out other peoples' s flairs, wss dispatched
but met with no better success. As a final
resort ant wat found wbo bad access to tbs
family bible, a hers a record of tbe births,
niarriagss, etc., were kept, and this time
success crowned tbe effort Eureka!
And so tbty proceeded with tbeir plot,

Mr. Pbilbrook, littls thinking that shs, too,
fall victim to their designs. Jast here we
shall have to deviate from the course of onr
narrative. Borne five or six weeks ago It
was agreed among the ladles of Houlton
that they do something to express to airs.

waa held, and It was decided that each

Is safe to oooclude Ibal a very kindly re
gard for Mrs; Pbilbrook prevails. When
these squares were joined and the quilt
flnlsbed. It was tbe most artistically eras?
affair that one can Imagine.
The ladies concluded to "kilt two birds
with one stone" and have the qailtpre-
tented at Mrs. Little's party, which was
given on Thursday, tbe 26th Inst, Tbe
lady was so surprised to find her parlor
filled with ladlea and gentlemen and lunch
baskets and crasy quilts that she did about
the only thing she oeuld consistently de
acknowledge herself outgeneral d. Just
before lunch was served Mrs. Little was
asked to present the quilt to Mrs. Phil
brook, which sbs did with a few well
ebosen remarks and it was than somebody
eise'lturn to be se surprised that words
sufficient to express the surprise aad grati
tude could bardly be found. Mrs. little,
too, received several gifts which shs values,
not so mnch for their Intrinsic worth as for
their pleasant association with ber 70th
birthday. Tbe friends present on this oc

CHOPS AND WEATHER.
For tbe week enulns; April 28, 1897.
Weather Tbe raint noted one week ago
ended on Thursday, when tbt weather
cleared and clear, warm weather has since
prevailed. The rainfall amounted to from
one-quarter to one-half an Inch In the in
terior valleys, and over one-half an iach
along the coast. The day temperature
ranged from 54 to 68 degress up to Sunday,
when It rose to from 83 to 86. The night
temperature ranged from 3 to 64 degrees,
tha lowest being during Thursday night.
Crops Tbe frosts on tbe mornings of the
23d and 23d did slight damage ia portions
of Josephine and Jackson counties to the
strawberry crop, but tbe damage is to
slight that It is bardly worth recording.
On the higher elevations of Josephine
eoanty, frost on the norning of the 22d
slightly injured some peach, nectarine and
pear blossoms; as th tree are heavily
laden with bloom, much thinning oat will
be necessary or the tree will be over
burdened. Fruit trees, exoept late apples,
are In full bloom la all portions of Western
Oregon; the bloom Is reported to be much
fuller than wat eVer known before. The
current weather Is exceedingly favorable to
pollenisation, hence the fruit prospects are
considered t be unusually flattering.
Plowing and seeding continue to be
active. The spring acreage will be larger
than ever known before, and the fall-sown
Is less. Grain sow tbe fore part of the
month Is already two and three Inches
high; fall-sown Is high enough to shade the
ground.
Garden planting continues, and vegeta
ble! are making a rapid growth. Fotatoee
are growing finely, those planted In March
have well formed tone. Hops are growing
rapidly; they are about three feet high and
work in tbe yards it being pushed. The
bop outlook is very encouraging.
