Press of (lie Slate Praise Tennessee Singers Coming Here. ' . Compliments, praise and testimon ials of the colored jubilee singers that will come to La Grande under, the auspices of the local Elks next Thurs day night, are many. , Following is one of them: "Appearing on the platform in Over-' alls and blouses and colored mother hubbard like dresses, with red hand kerchiefs around' their heads like the ol southern "mammies" used to wear away down where the' cotton fields bloom In whiteness, and . bringing a breath from sunny south, the Tennes see Jubilee singers, who appeared at the First Methodist church last night, made an instantaneous hit and cap tured the hearts of the large and ap preciative audience. ' In spite oft the inclemency of the weather there was an excellent crowd out But those who went were glad that Jupiter Pluvlus did not discourage them for their re ward was such as is given to those who dare to tak,e a good opportunity when It comes their way. The company of Jubilee singers number' eight and the way they sing does trie weary , heart good. One does not hear the old and worn out popular airs that are thread, bare, but the songs thai, porno .near to the heart and are ever favorites suph as "Steal Away to Jesus," "There's a Jubilee," "Swing Low Sweet Chariot; "Roll, Jordan. Roll" and "Peter, Go Ring Dem Bells." Dally Oregon Statesman. City of Stone Age Unearthed. A Berkeley dispatch of May 26 says Burled a few feet under the classic soil of the university of California Ilea a city of the stone age, whose mas stve walls respond to the instrument of the members of the Berkeley Socie ty of Physiological Research, and how their well defined locations, according to the Investigations made by Profes sor Joseph Voyle, president of the lo cal Psychical society and other mem bers. The stories of investigations to find the lines of the burled city, which antedates by thousands of years the time of Cqlumbus, have been carried on. It Is said, quietly for the last month since the society took up this Import ant branch of their studies. None of the professors of the uni versity have as yet thoroughly inves tigated the findings of the society, but It Is likely that If their discoveries are found to hrve a foundation excavation work will be begun at once along scientific lines.
