The Fourth of July oolobrntlon Is no longer In doubt; we'll havo It, and It will bo a daisy one of the kind you anticipate with Impatient joy, realize a whole lot of fun out of at tho time, and remember with pride and gratification long after It has passod. Since tho last celebration of the day In Medford, five years ago, a great many things have happened to make exoltlng reading In the life history of the proud old bird of freedom. What with one national elec tion passed and another approaching, narrowly averted passages-at-arms with other great powers, war with Spain and tho Filipinos, and contemplating some of the most marvelous ooourenoes of the oentury, the American eagle has had enough to keep It pretty busy with out taking a day off to celebrate. But now things are settling down to the even tenor of their way again and the patriotic sentiment of the Amertcau people must have an ex pression. This promises to bo a good year for celebrations. All classes are enjoying prosperity, business in almost every line Is good, and the working classes feel able to take a day off tor pleasure and for loyalty's sake. No town will celebrate Independence day with more zeal and joy than Med ford. This is affirmed by the ready and liberal response to the requests tor donations by the soliciting commit tee on the part of the merchants, busi ness and professional men of the' city. At the second meeting of citizens, held Saturday eveniog, in the town hall. one member of the committee, Mr. Gardner, reported 1427.50 subscribed In four days, and although the other two were not present to report, It Is be lieved the amounts raised by them will bring the aggregate up to probably 600, and possibly $700. With even the leaser amount we will be able to have a first-clabs celebration with good speak ing and any number of pleasing and drawing attractions, sporting events and games. As cordial Invitations will be sent ont to all nearby towns to join with Medford, it Is not likely that any other towns in the valley will bold a celebration, but will ail unite In hav. ing a good time and a pleasantly spent day here. D. T. Lawton was chosen chairman of the meeting Saturday evening, and after the reports of the soliciting com mittee were received and discussed, and a unanimous vote of thanks re turned to L. F. Gardner for his zealous efforts In raising contributions to the fund, Mr. Lawton appointed a commit tee on arrangements, to have general charge of affairs, including the appoint ment of other necessary committees, as follows: A. S. Bliton. F. M. Stewart, Horace Mann, L. F. Gardner and J. A Perry. H. G. Wortman was elected treasurer, and Mr. Gardner was chosen to act a9 collector of the money sub scribed. The committee will at once take up the work of preparing tor the event, and with the assurance of hearty co-operation on the part of all our citi zens already given, it is safe to predict that the celebration of the 4th will be a great, big success. The committee on general arrange ments met Tuesday evening and, after eleoting A. S. Bliton chairman and Horace Mann secretary, appointed the following committees: On parade: J A Whitman, G L Schermerborn, D T Lawton. On music: Dr R T Burnett, Mrs J F White, E E Gore, Misses Aileen Web ber and Grace Foster. On exercises: Prof N L Narregan, Attorney A S Hammond, Dr J M Keeue. On sports and races: H G Nicholson, G L Davis, G L Schermerhorn. On fireworks: G L, Davis, I L. Ham ilton, L F Gardner. ine program win appear in tnese columns later. Resolutions of the Non-Partisan Convention. In view of the near approach of the county election, and the fact that there are already four tickets in the field, each of which has nominated a full county and legislative ticket; that a sumraarv of all the said nominations re veals a sufficient number of representa tive men among them competent to fill the various offices, from which the voters of Jackson County may be able to select a comrjetent' ana Qualified corps of officials, and in view of the fact that any ticket which this conven tion mfgnt nominate wouta in an proo abilitv further complicate matters and result in tne election oi some men oo- jeotlonable to a large majority of the voters ana tax payers or. saio county, now therefore, be it RK80LVBD, That it is the expressed sense of this convention that no nomi nations be made, and that we pledge ourselves to vote and use our influence for accomplishing the election of the best and most competent men to fill the said various offices, regardless of parti san political affiliations. Believing that the Independent voter is the safety vnlvn of the-machine which controls the destiny of the nation, we ask the co-oueration of all voters to the end that only the very best and most competent men be elected to office.

Barton PUkel Observ their Crystal Wedding. Not (or many soasons has tho social Ido of Medford been so brilliantly por trayed or galhorod together under such pleasant environments as on last Mon day eveulng, tho ocoaslon boiug tho fifteenth anniversary of the wedding day of Dr, and Mrs. E. Barton Plokel. The large olrolo ot friends and sooliil acquaintances of the popular doctor and his estimable wife were kept In pleasti.g anticipation tor several days after tho receipt ot the Invitations, and it Is but a deserved aompllment to tho host and hostess to say that the most sanguiuo expectations of tholr guests were far outdone by tho splendid hos pitality that greeted them. It is a fact often oommonted upon that tho elogant home of Mr. and Mrs. Pickel consti tutes one of the happiest iu the olty and on this occasion they took, for the time being, all their friends Into Its domain ot peaceful joy and pleasure, and gave bountifully of Its cheerful and grateful Influences to the favored num ber who gathered on the gaily lighted lawn and In the oosy home to extend their slncerest congratulations, and to wlBb the happy couple many returning anniversaries. The guests began to arrive at 8:30, and were reoelved by Mrs. W. I. Vaw ter, who conduoted them within, whore the host and hostess were stationed to receive their congratulations. They were then extended the freedom of the home, the interior of which was like a glimpse of fairyland, or the dream of a lover of the beautiful a garden lull of rare and fragrant flowers and twining vines; festoons ot sweet brier reaching from the walls to the chandeliers, and every nook and cornor filled with potted palms and other pretty plants and cut flowers In abundance, the whole blend ing prettily Into a oolor scheme of green and white. Without, the kindly moon lent its Influence toward enlivening tho scene, and Its quivering bars of stiver light sifted tbrouih the foliage ot the oak trees and toll upon tables whose rich decorations formed the only arti ficial auxiliaries to the lavish blessings of nature, displayed on every hand When the guests were bidden to be seated, the place of prominence was oc cupied, of course, by the host and host ess, Mrs. Pickel being elegantly and tastily costumed In a gown of light gray organdie trimmed In narrow bands of black velvet ribbon, and wearing orange blossoms, while the "groom" was olad in the conventional black a reproduc tion of the costume worn on the occa sion which was so happily commemo rated on this evening. The menu, grace fully served by the young ladies of the Kettle Drum olub, assisted by Mibsbs Woodford and Webb, consisted of cold meats, pressed chickon, salads, toma toes, salted almonds, cherries, dates, ice cream, coffee and cake. Dainty fav ors accompanied each cover. Over one hundred guests were noted, among those from out of town being Mr. and Mrs: Carter, ot Ashland; Mr, and Mrs. Gus Newbury, Ur. and Mrs. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Love and John Miller, of Jacksonville; Dr, and Mis. Hargrave, of Phoenix, and Mrs. Bradley, of Eugene. During tne evening congratulatory telegrams were received from friends in Tennessee, and in Portland, Eugone and other places in Oregon. The pleasure of tho even ing was further increased by a delight ful vocal and instrumental musical pro gram consisting of vocal solos by Dr. Burnett, Mrs. Vawter, Maysie Foster and Carl Webb, vocal duet by Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Gore, Instrumental duet by Misses Webber and Foster, and a piano solo by Miss Webber. - It was a late hour when the guests departed, and it is safe to say that no similar event in the course of years was more thoroughly enjoyed by those at tending than this one, and that the good wishes of the gnosis were as sin cere as they were numerous. The event was a social success sn every way and reflects great credit on the happy host and hostess ; and The Mail joins with their large circle of friends in wishing them many returning anni versaries. The tokens oi friendship presented consisted of cut glassware. and were richly beautiful and very numerous; yet it cannot be doubted that Dr. and Mrs. Picket will value them for their intrinsic value far less than for the loving remembrance of the donors.
