For a week they had been at work on tho decorations and they have proven that this big opera houso of ours can bo made a thing or beauty. The walls were ar tistically festooned with ovorgreon ropes containing Innumerable small Rags, the larger ones being crossed at the top aod centor points. Very large were the letters S. Y. L. H. O. ar ranged on the left wall with a picture of President Wm. McKlnloy, beneath. Opposite the efitot was no less pleasing, showing portraits of the first presi dent, George Washington and his wile, with that ot the ill ruted battle ship Maine, hum? directly below. Ones eyes restod with delight on the stage wiucu was made luto a charming parlor piano lumps, screens, cosv chairs, sofa and flowers all made an enchantlug scene to gaze upon. Here, those preferring games, were entor tained. The two largest flags In town completely covered the wings and added much to the appearance of the whole. The center lamps in the hall were made into a centor pioco with bunting, Japanese lanterns and parsols and was a dainty idea to conceal the ordinary lights. The grand march at 9:30 contained some new figures and was led by Misses Hhinebart and Skeel followed by the other members of the club. Mr. and Mrs. Whitman beinir unavoidable late Mr. snd Mrs. John Barneburg took their places. Those in line were Misses Worman, Cole, Barneburg, Webber and Isaacs and immediately behind these came the eight gentlemen, Messrs. Snow. Foster, Ortli, Enyart. Bunch, Olwell and Beall. At twelve o clock a light lunon was served. Dur ing the evening the band, under their able leader, gave a seclectlon and for an enchore a "Deux Temp" in excellent time. A cornet solo by Sir.

The steamer City of Seattle ar rived at Seattle last week with the largest passenger list yet brought by a returning steamer since the rush to Alaska began. She had 263 persons on board who took advan tage of the rate war now on to return to civilization. The man in the engine room has little of the fun or glory of a mod ern sea fight. He hears the boom ing of the near and distant guns, but he does not know how the battle ie going. The ship may be a hope less wreck, and the next minute may be his last, but that is none of his affair. The engines must keep moving, and they must respond in stantly to the will of the ship's brain in the conning tower or the battle is lost. ' , The whole ship is one mass of complicated machinery. It is steered by steam ; its turrets are turned by steam directly or in directly, through electrio, pneumatic or hydraulic power; its great guns are loaded by steam; it is lighted by electricity, which is supplied by dynamoes run by steam; it is venti lated by steam steam is the source of all its activities. Let the engines cease to work and the ship would die. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS. In ttnothor oolumu of this paifor up pears the political aimounooiuunt of Hon. J, A, Jeffrey, tho present incum bent of the otllce of prosecuting attorney fur this the first Judicial district of Oregon, Mr. Jellrey In at this time a candidate on tho Union ticket, for eluullon to the olllue of circuit judgo tor this district. While it'ls it (act that Mr. JullVuy Is a young mail It is just as well true that' ho Is a learned man ami an able practitioner at thu bar. lie Is well known throughout thu district as u' thorough, and ooniputuut attorney, is kuown its a man ot good business turn, is kuown as a gentleman always and an earnest advocate ot law, order and so brlety. Mr. Jell'roy has served thu dis trict very ucoeptubly us prosecuting at torney aud there Is uot a person who knows him wull who doubts but that he will bo us acceptable In tho ollluo to which ho now aspires, Mr. Jell'roy, as nearly all of you know, la a graduate of some of tho best Institutions of learning in the state. He has been a member ot the state legislature aud iu that capnu- ily ho survud his constituents wull aud fit i Lli full v and with uredit to muisolf and Uio.io who elected Mm. During Mr, Jeffrey's career lu public lite he has, hy his art of ready speech and quiuk re partee, brought upon himself words of praise from those sourcus which wero most envious. Ills frluiids aro asking for his election, not particularly because he is oi their political lann, uui oeeaiise that he is un able man and one they believe to be well suited to the position to which ho aspires. W. B. Jaokson, tho regular People's Party nominee for the oflloe ot county clurk, Is a young man who has grown from Infancy lu Jackson County. He received the most of his education In thu public school, finishing his educa tion and graduating (nun the Medford Uuslnuss Collugo a (ow years ago. For the past two years ho has been em ployed In tho county olurk's olllco and Is ut tho preseul lime the chief deputy. During his period of employment tn the office, by his careful uttenlion to his duties, he has made for himself a record that hu may well feel proud of aod should he bo elooted to till the position ol county olurk his friends are saying that the people may expect tho same painstaking attention to detail that have governed him in his acts us deputy. These same friends are prom ising that in his bauds the duties of tho clorks office will be conducted ceo note leal ly and in the interest of the toxpayors. His political card appears elsowhore In this issuo. Prof. G. A. Gregory, the Republican cundldule for county school supurln tendent has a political announcement elsewhere in this Issue. He was born In tho State of Michigan, where he grew to years of manhood on a farm and received his curly education In the public schools, but being delrous of gaining a belter education than wus afforded at home, he wont to Graud Ituplds where he completed a course lu siwciisburg & Bobbins' buslucn.i col lege. He then went to Nebraska whore he taught several terms of school. Lie next attended nnd took a complete collego and normal course in Doauo college, Nebraska, from which institu tion hu graduated. IIo has slnco de voted bis entire time, some fifteen years, to educational work, having In this time been at the head of a number of different schools. Ho has filled a number of positions of honor and trust, having boen trousuror aud trustee of a college, city engineer of Creel, Neb., and various other positions, all of which were filled with credit to him self and to the best Interests of those whom he served. For tho past three terms he has filled the position of prin cipal of the schools o( this city, and under his management tho school has prospered and the grades have been ad vanced severul points. Being a man of good executivo abilities and grcut power ot organization be Is especially fitted for the position of county super intendent, to wbleh position persons ot all political parlies hope and bollove he will be elected, the teachers of the county being among bis strongest sup porters. The Republican candidate for tho of fice of county clerk ie Gus Newbury, of Phoenix, who bus a political card else where in this Issue. lie In a man whom it is useless for us to introduco to the readers of Thk Mail in JuvkHoii County whore ho is so' well and favorably known and where the mere announcement that any public duty has been entrusted to him to look after, is equivolent to say ing that it has been faithfully and prop erly attended to. As ull know ho has been twice elected to tho office of county school superintendent, the last tlino 1)0 ing the only Republican, with one ex ception, elected in the county. He la a man eminently fitted to fill the office of clerk. He can call more men by name on sight than perhaps any other man in the county and has a pleasant word for all whether seeking office or not. Edu cationally ho is well qualified for the position. He is a young man, who by his own exortions nnd hy olose applica tion, lint risen from a poor boy to tho place he now occupies and the sume care and attention will, it Is promised, be given to the performance of the duties of clerk, If ha Is oleeled, that has actuated and made him ho popular In the superintendent's office. He la hon est and careful and withal a pleasant fellow to meet, 0 1 Saturday, May Wo will W Block of Moil's, lioys' mid Children's W 1 CLOTHING Prioos below any ovor b will bo given oii all linos tt tt tt tt tt tt CALL AND EXAMINE Hutchison 4tMIIIMIIMMMIItllllllttMUIIMIHMMIIIMIIIIIMIIIIIIHIHIMMIMMIIMIIMIMMIII1ltMMIMIIIMIIIIItllMIUIIIIIHtM 1 To Those Who Suffer with Tender Feet j m Tayler, 7th Street, Medfoid. llllllltnilllllMMIIIIIMMMIIIMItlltiniMIMIIMMMItlMMIIIIIIMMMMIMIIUIMIIIHIMIMMIUIIIMIMMIMIIIIIItllll?
