Have the pleasure of telling you the "Flower of the Ranch," which played my house tonight is the best and snappiest of the musical comedies that has ever played here. Yoa will make no mis take by boosting It. It will certainly give the best of satisfaction. Hoping you give them a packed house which Is Justly due them. L. Pefferle. The newest, cleanest, brightest mu sical offering of the season is Joseph E. Howard's latest "western success. "The Flower of the Ranch," coming to the Steward theatre tonight. It is a fact "that Howard has thei keeps running through one's brain af ter he has heard it and In this lateBt offering thene are a dozen of such numbers. "Clarcmont," "Dreaming," "Just Say You Care," "Lu-Lu Babe," and "Thei Days of '49" are always whistled as the audience leaves the theatre. The cast is an excellent one. headed by Jess Harris,- who . plays "Skivers," the tenderfoot, the lead ing comedy. Harris gives double mea sure; he Is funny the good old fash ioned way; he gets about, "dances, does funny things; in fact, he is a (scream every time he is on the stage. Miss Caldwell, the "Flower," is a vi vacious little girl. She dances ener getically and throws her whole soul into her work. Every member works with the same vim and snap. The "broilers" are genuine dancers and any time they are before the audience you may rest assured they are busy, for never was there a more sprightly bunch ever gotten together than these little glrlB who go to make this musi cal comedy, play complete. IDERKT MAX TESTIFTING AT PENDLETON CALLED PERJURER. : Is Chief Witness foi the State bat Is Himself Pla(f In JaJU. (Pendleton East Oregonlan.) J. W. Wilson, defendant, and Rov Connell, complaining witness in the attempted arson rase which came Ui) for trial last Saturday, have chang ed positions as a result of the action of thi9 court, the former now being a free man and the latter in the toils of the law. This turn occurred during Saturday afternoon when, after Con nell had impeached himself bv con tradictory testimony, District Attor ney Van Vector moved for a dismis sal of this case and Judge Phelps dis charged Wilson and ordered the ar rest of the complaining witness on a charge of perjury. "!?J PrS"1! JAWW fn. Connell was the only witness called in the cafM and, after he had testified that he had been hired by Wilson to set fire to the letter's drug store at Uklah, Col.T. H. Raley, counsel for the defendant, began his cross exami nation which ted to the unexpected termination of the case. , To prove an attempted arson, it was necessary for the state to show that an overt act had been commltttd toward committing arson. It was not sufficient to show that preparations had been made for the starting of a fire but that, the defendant had actu ally done something toward causing a match to be applied. , By a series of adroit questions, Col. Raley secur ed an admission from Connell that he had not been supplied with matches and had not even gone in the direc tion of the store building on the day he was to have started the fire as al leged. These admissions wiere sufficient to break down the whole case and the district attorney immediately moved for a dismissal and the motion was granted by Judge Phelps. ... Witness Perjures Himself. During the time he "spent in the witness chair, Connell Impeached him s 1! repeatedly. Counsel for the de fense had a copy of the testimony taken at the preliminary hearing and the complaining witness made state taken at the preliminary hearing and the complaining , witn-ss made state ments at that time absolutely contra dictory to those made Saturday and Bisveral times during the trial denied statements made a few minutes be fore. Therefore, in dismissing the case and discharging Wilson, Judge Phelps ordered Connell arrested on a charge of perjury. Connell does not bear a very savory reputation, having at one time serv ed a term In the penitentiary for stealing stock and this fact made the state doubtful from the first as to its ability to make a case out of his charges. An article that has real merit should In time become popular. That such is the case with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been attested by many dealers. Here Is one of them. H.
