a S7 ALL THE LOCAL SEWS. ; Wa promisad not to. say anything About it last weak, and we kept our word, but it is too goad to keep always bidden uadar a bushel. It wjpjfc joka which J. E. Eayart Mi .

When asked to look t it he would slide away and suggest that if they played any jokes on him they would be pair of very clever l:Vds. All went well until the hour or tke caremony Arrived when Ejv. Merley, who, by-he-way, is considerable of a boy him sclf, innocently asked Mr. McLaod for his license. Mac went deep down into his pocket asd produced a papar of Jegal appearance and handed it to the reverend gentleman. This was un folded but iastead of a marriage license it was a bill of sale the boys had shift ed the cut on him. After moments, 'which seemed hours to Mae., the proper papers were produced and the .ceremony proceeded, but the joke cost Mac just S2S.70 fer cigars. Did you notice Wolter's show windows?" They are beauties, and if as much taste is displayed in buying goods .as is noticeable in his window decora tions it is little wonder ii3 is popular Wolters, the grocer, keeps the best and sells easonable. The arrest of L. L. Angle, at Rose burg last week, upon a charge of ob taining money uader falsa pretense has been the talk of the city siuce its -occurrence. The arrest was made at the instance cf Mrs. Elizabeth Snider, of Roseburg, who claimed Mr. Angle had secured money from her by repre senting himself to be an agent for an eastern company who desired to loan money in Oregon at a cheap rate of in terest and who had given her an agency upen the condition that she pay him a ee, which amount was $-10 and which avas pa:d. The promised loans did not materialize and the arrest was the re sult. Angle had a hearing before the grand jury, whieh was ia session at the iime of hU arrest, and ia3 by them ac quitted. Attorney Fitch, of this city, was the attorney employed by Mr. Angle. You will be wanting some crockery, perhaps, tkis spring. Baby has proba bly broken a numbjr of pieces during ihe winter; perhaps your kitchen heip and the policeman have been working up a trade for the croekeryman in any case you can get full sets or odd pieces of almost any quality or style at Wol-1 ters, the grocer. There is a little act which is being persisted ia by several of the small boys about this city, which, if contin ued, will cost themselves and their parents no little trouble. The act is that of shooting and killing robins. ''This is in d'.r33t violation of the state Jaw and is punishable by either a 5ne or imprisanm-iut, or both. Ti e weapon is2d is a little spring gua with buck shots for bullets, and the practice is not aloae confined to birds but io chick ens aud dogs as well. Several parties have reported to us the loss of ehiek .ens aa-l have also given us th; names of the boys who killed them, bst out cf respect for their parents, and through & hops that they will desist without publicity w3 will not publish their Hamas at present. Soma of these boys are old enough to know better than to get mixed up in suah unprincipled acts. L. B. Warnar, tha fruit tree man, has trees on hand to supply the trade of Medford and vicinity, in any quan tity and in the following varieties: Apple; pears, cherries, aprieots, peach es, prunes and soft shelled almond. Mr. Warner may be found at Dr. Od gers dental rooms. The entertainment given by tho Good Templars of Medford at the opera house last Thursday evening was well attended and the program an enter taining one. When it is considered that all who took part in the enter tainment are novices in this line of work the sentiment exists that they jdid remarkably well. There were parts that with a little mora training could have been brought out to better ad vantage, but it is much easier to sug gest a means of betterment than to carry the suggestion into actual im provement as viewed from the stand point of excellency by others. Some of the participants did their parts well .and are entitled to a goodly amount of ycredit. Financially the entertainment was all that could be expected, the re xjaipts amounting to several dollars more than the expenses. "What's in a name?,' Well, that flapends. For instance, the name of "Ayer" is sufficient guarautee that Ayer's Sarsaparilla is a genuine, scien tific b!ood-puriQ?r, and not a sham, like so much that goss by the name of "sarsaparilla." Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the standard. To make housework easy for the women folk is the aim of many invent ors. Success has been awarded them in many instances and the several tire some task3 peculiar to tha well kept household ia greatly lessc&ed. Dish washing is no small item about the kitchen but J. G. Johnson, of Eagle Jrumt. nas secured trie agency ot a contrivance which appears to be a boon to the housewife. It is the Parinton dishwasher and the gentleman is now taking orders for an April delivery of the machines. He has secured the ex clusive agency for the washer in Ore gon, Washington and California.

They don't propose to have their houses burn down and their neighbors not know of it.

There wore fullr severity-five members and iuvitod friends present and to say that they all enjoyed themselves is but to mention it in a very moderate degree when it should bj written in the su perlatire. The occasion was not only one of sociability but a goodly part of the eve-.ing was taken up with a liter ary and irusic&l ' progrmr: . At ab. ut tho hour when tho clock on the mantle sounded the eighth stroke. Chancellor Commander G. A. Merriman announced the opening of the evening s program. First whs a so:ig by the Medford male quartetie, comjHise-u oi .Messrs. i j , Narregan. D. T. Lawton. E. Phip'is ! and E. C. Wells: lollowiug this was prater by Rov. A. S. 'Foster, and after this was instrumental music by Mi&s Myrtle Hart. Rv. J. Moriey was then called upon for a speech, and the gen tleman responded with a willingness which told plaiii'y of the deep interest he felt ia tha Pytr.ian order, of which he is a member. He spoke quite at length but so interesting aad encobliug were his remarks that ail regretted their close. Judging from the trvnd of the reverend gentleman's discourse one could not but reach the conclusion that tue t'ytuiaa h.n:ga: wuo lives up to tne teacamgs o: nis order is maJo a better man to his faaiily, to himself and to his fallow man. First in his es timation of uplifting organizations came his church, but els3'.y following and allied to the church was the order of Knights of Pythias. Another song by the male- quartette was most favor ably received, and following this was a declamation by Percy DeGroot, h whose renditions are pleasing and al ways loudly applauded: a very finely rendered sjla by Mrs. A. S. Foster fol lowed and after this another song by the quartette. Miss Grace Foater then gave a very nieely 'rendered sjlo. and following which was a pleasing decla mation by little Edna Wait the pro gram closing wiih nuolher song by the male quartette. The exercises thus far had been of a uature belonging te tho most refiud, and well selected, and appreciated, but the social part was yet to come. Chancellor Com mander Merriman then announced that a taffy pull would be indulged in just so soon as the taffy could be gotten iu proper trim for the puller, and ho in vited all to turn in and have a good, so cial time with their neighbor iu the interval and that was just what they did, everybody talked and laughed with everybody else, and a happier crowd you never saw. There wasn't a person in the ivistlo hall but was having just a little more fun than anyone else. The taffy was soon brought in and distrib uted among the guests aud the pulling' process was inaugurated. It was a very timid pull at first but it soon de veloped into a haul and the haul was largely of taffy from one another. Af ter several largo panfulls of this arti cle had bden distributed and pulled un til tho puller wan completely fatigued and the substance of the pull had faded from view the party adjourned, but not until all had expressed their gratitude toward the order for the evening's most pleasant entertainment and with ono accord they exclaimed, "Long live and prosper the Pythian Knights,"' The members of the order desire us to express, for them, their gratitude to those who kindly and ably assisted in making the social so complete a success, We had hoped to find room to print tho names of all present but upwards of seventy-five is too loug a list to find apace for. : T. i-i- ' i .;:- : l O N tr1 i H3 4 H J & I W i li J II lilt If s -. .
