Newspaper Page TextMS OF THE CITY. The literary entertainment and musicale given at the opera house last Thursday evening by the Episcopal Guild of Medford was a decidedly rare treat for the audience. The program was replete with vocal and piano solos, vocal quartette, piano and guitar duets, zither.solos and recitations, all of which were rendered in a most pleasing man ner and nearly all participants were encored to which they very graciously responded. Each and everyone who took part in the entertainment did so nicely and were so well received that to write of them individually would be but a repetition, the one with the other. There was a large attendance and the door receipts were $47.80, which will be used, by the Guild to assist in re seating their church. The ladies de sire us to thank all those who attended for their kind and generous patronage, especially are thanks tendered those who assisted in the evening's program. The public school band furnished ex cellent music at the opening of the ex ercises. If we were to ciose our brief mention and omit a word or two of praise for the hall decorations we would be guilty of an unpardonable oversight. The stage was arranged in the most beautiful manner the writer ever saw it, in fact it was a veritable modern home with all the dainties and delicacies of tapestry and furniture.and to this were added myriads of chrysan themum bouquets, and still another beauty was that of choice roses and palms. For sale at a sacrifice, a fine up right piano and a new encyclopaedia britannica. M. Purdin. At the M. E. parsonage, on Wed nesday evening of this week, Rev- E. S.

After the ceremony the happy twain drove to the Gritfin creek farm where they will reside. Thk Mail is always brimming full of con gratulations upon these occasions and we are none the less so right now. We like to see everybody happy and upon occasions of this nature we feel satis fied that at least two people are in that state hence kind words are always showered upon them.

Richard Heath, accused of the mur der of MoWhirtar at Fresno, hss at last been set at liberty. This ends one of &meet noted murder mysteries in Praia's history. Mat Beece, a meet daring and snc eessful banco and confidence man. has been arrested at -Los Angeles. Bce operated mostly in the Paget Sound conn try. The Columbia river route, between Portland and Wallula Junction, Or., is to be reopened. It has been closed for several years. It is claimed that Li Hong Chang, the Chinese viceroy, had loaned the mikado of Japan a large sum of money and that anxiety to collect his loan has retarded his war preparations. The emperor of China may take his head in addition to the peacock feathers. Secretary Gresham has communicated to the Chinese and Japanese govern sneats that if they will unite in request ing the president of the United States to Mi as mediator in settling the war he will exercise sis good offices in that ca saoiry. It is believed China will really aeeept the proposition. It is not likely Japan will accept the mediation unless 1100,000,000 is offered. This is about what Japan has actually spent on the war.
