H ARE GOING
TO CELEBRATE.
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.

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.

WBDDINd ANNIVERSARY.
Dr. and Mrs B. 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.
