It waa onTnosdny of thia week, immedi

Soldier Boya' Reception.
If anyone was to tell you that Mod'
ford people did not appreciate thebrav
erv and valor of our boys on tbe Phil.
lpplne battle fields and that we were
not giaa lo welcome tnem nome, you
could tell tbom tbey were delineator
of untruths and a whole opera house
full of people would back you np lo tbe
denunciation.
It was lost Friday forenoon that a few
of our townspeople, among whom were
Prof. Narregan, Wm. Sllnger and
Mayor Gllkey, got a notion into their
heads that a reception would be a very
correct tniag. and these gentlemen
called to their assistance Misses Grace
FoBtcr and Alleen Webber, and a pro
gram was arranged for Friday evening
in the onera house and a banquet was
ordered at Hotel Nash.
Tbe opera house was well filled and
the soldier boys who received the glad
hand shake of those present were R. B.
Dow. Alex. Galloway, James Grieve
and Olney Hopwood. The program
consisted of several excellent musical
selections by the Medford band, a few
remarks of welcome by Mayor Gllkey, a
vocal solo by Miss Virgie Woodford;
select reading by Dr. Piokel; a violin
so'.o by little Delpha Hammond; vocal
solo by Dr. Burnett. All these were
well rendered ana were inny appreci
ated by the audience, but the cap sheaf
of tbem all was the recital of an or
iginal poem by Miss May. Merriman.
It was at noon on Friday tbat the com
mittee asked Mies Merriman to favor
the audience with a recitation and it was
at 8:30 the Bame evening that the young
lady bod composed ana commuted to
memory the following lines, and we
xuve it to our readers to say whother
or not tbey are worthy the plaudits tbe
looy received wnen tne poem won given
'o me audience:

That In all thai proud array,

But, above all, 1 do declare,
Dowby. you're a dandy.
. May L. Merriman.
Tho program was closed by tho sing
ing of "America" by the audience,
after which an boor's time was given
to visiting and band shaking with the
soldier boys.
Later in tho evening about eighty
persons adjourned from the opera bouse
to the dining hall of Hotel Nash where
a banquet was given. Tables were here
spread with a most delicious and tempt
ing repast. After all bad been served
lavishly with cold meats, cakes and ice
cream, Toastmaster Gllkey called upon
Judge Crowell, who responded to the
toast, "A Few Words," in terms appro
priate and interesting. Attorney W. I.
Vawter's subjeot was the "Battleship
Oregon." He gave on account of tho
Oregou's famous trip from the Pacific
to the Atlnntlo and of the part our
noble battleship took In sinking the
Spanish fleet oft Santiago de Cuba on
July 3, '98. Prof. N. L. Narregan re
sponded to "What's the Matter With
Oregon," and when ho had concluded
the opinion prevailed generally that
there wasn't a thing the matter with
Oregon, or Oregon boys. Dr. E. B.
Piokel'g subject was "The Girls Are
in It," 'and truly thoy were. They were
very much in evidence at the banquet
and the soldier boys were practically
snowed under wllh girls and the sol
dier boys were thoroughly "in It.
Lieutenant Fries' subject was "A Man
With a Country." The young man,
who Is a lieutenant In tho Engineer
Corps of the regular army, spoke very
understanding))' upon thia subjsot and
brought out many a good point as soon
and understood from the standpoint of
a dutiful soldier. Following these were
brief sneeohes bv the soldier boys and
a reading by Alex. Galloway ot Chap
lain Gilbert's dally memorandum oi
the movements of tho Second Oregon
from the d y they left Oregon to their
return. Tho electrlo lights fllokered
about this time and the assembly was
reminded that twelve o'olook was at
hand and their evening of pleasure was
ataoloae.
