Tub nomination of McKinley and
Roosevelt by the National Re
publican Convention for president
And vice president is without doubt
the strongest presidental 'earn that
ould have been chosen in the
United States. They are both men
of national note, have both had large
experience in publio affairs and are
recognized as statesmen of distin
guished ability and Buperior execu
tive powers. In view of the open
menace of the Chioago Platform of
four years ago to the general busi-
sess interests of the country, and
which will be re-affirmed by the
Democratic party, the east, in order
to make success doubly certain, de
manded the strongest ticket that
could be put tip. And that these
two distinguished Americans should
have been chosen without opposi
tion in a country of such extent and
magnitude and with so many con
flicting interests and opinions, to be
the standard bearers of the great
Republican party in the coming
national contest, is conclusive evi
dence of the general conviction that
they are specially equipped to meet
the requirements and responsibili
ties of existing conditions. With
theBe trained and watchful pilots at
the wheel, the American people
need have no fears of national ship'
wreck or disaster. They can rest
teen red that every avenue of dsn
ger will be guarded, every domestic
industry fostered and all the varied,
complex and diversified interests of
a progressive commonwealth pro
tected and promoted.

S. E Kiser in Chicago-Times Herald.
If and Muller on a Summer's day
Went out to rake the fragrant hay.
-She glanced up toward the distant town
To ree if the Judge was riding down.
Then Hhe leaned upon her rake to rest,
And a nameless longing filled ber breast.
A blue fly buzzed around her and
Cot smashed upon her soft, while hand.
Again she looked, and her round cheeks
giowea
A speck appeared far up the road.
If and raked the hay with all her might.
Still keeping the growing speck in sipht.
In his automobile the Judge sat proud,
leaving behind him a thick dust cloud.
&ed never been out until that day
In the splendid thing, and his heart was gay.
O'er his features played a contented smile
As he ran over dogs in a lordly style.
3Saud saw him come, and ber heart le iped high
As she dropped her rake, saying, "My, oh, my!"
Then she rushed where the cool spring bubbled
op,
And stooped to fill her little old cup.
"Sne sped to the tree beside the lane
Where the Judge's mare with the chestnut
mane
Had gnawed the rails and pawed the sod,
"While the Judge had been saying things-to
Maud.
On, on he came like a fast express!
She gave a bitch to the back of her dress
-And straightened her hat and jabbed her hair,
To be sure the frizzles and all were there.
The Judge gave his gray mustache a twirl
- -And smiled as he spied the waiting girl,
And gazed at the sky. as If wondering whether
Jhe clouds In the west would bring wet
.weather.
.And noticed the grass and flowers and trees
And the grazing klne as he oleft the breeze.
Then be grasped a handle somewhere, at last.
To stop himself from going so fast;
JBut it seemed to stick, and he gave a Jerk,
aou .m um.wi w unu mm ib woman t worK I
' And, in his hurry, he steered at Maud,
ho dropped her cup and yelled, "Oh, Lord 1"
And tried to climb the fenoe and got
Salf way across, when like a shot
Trom a cannon, the Judge arrived and went
On, after the manner of Gov. Kent.
At last Mand rose from the wreck and gazed
Around at the scattered rails, amazed.
Bbe saw the cow rush o'er the mead,
Developing awful rate of speed.
She beard hens cackle and people call,
And then, at last, she remembered all.
Looking away o'er the fields she saw
The undulating expounder of law,
As he skipped the valleys Bnd hit the hills
And smashed the fenoe and Jumped the rills.
Clutching her brow, she sighed, "Ah, mel"
Which the mocking bird echoed from his tree.
, Then she took up her rake and mused awhile,
Saying, "Blast the antomobeel or byle I
-way didn't be stick to the sorrel mare?
Ah, where is be now!" Echo answered.
"Where7" , '
Maud's rake is banging nnnsed today;
Ha a horseless age what's the use of hay?
And oft in her palm she rests her ohln
And thinks of the Judge and what might have
been
if be only had stuck to the old mare's back

District 36 is happy in the possession
of two teachers instead of one. Mrs,
flanby enjoys school work so much that
she takes charge of the younger pupils
and so leaves more time for Hr. H. to
devote to the older ones.
This is a fine season for school house
building and good fir logs are in de
mand on upper Rogue river. Districts
28, 80 and 78 have led the way and 66 is
soon to follow.
Misses Bradbury, Homes, Smith,
Dawson, Black, Purdin, Milsap, Fergn
son, Mrs. Lynch and Mr. Jonas are
among the corps of teacherB engaged
in the mountain districts. Recent visits
to these and others in the higher alt I
tudes ehow an Increased interest among
pupils and an earnest, helpful spirit
among the teachers.
Mrs. Alice Bacon closed her year's
work in Rock Point district with the
graduation of five pupils from the
eighth grade. She was the first teacher
in the county to report a class prepar
ing for graduation and to her enthusi
astic and careful work is due the fact
that so large a number completed the
course.
Two facts are worth noting by school
boards, patrons and teachers. Ths
best work In the county during the
past year has been in those schools
where the state course of etudy has
been properly followed and the only
rural schools from which pupils have
graduated are those in which first-class
teachers have been employed for at
least two consecutive years past.
The following pupils have completed
the stale course of study and received
diplomas having passed the examina
tions required by the state law: Phoe
nix Walter Stancliff, Harry Reamee,
Nellie Reames, Sunbeam Moore, Lillle
McTavlsh, William Wilder, Bertha
Dunlap. Central Point Myra Gallo

Lizzie Gibson, Lelah Williams. Neil
district Elmer Kincaid. Talent Jay
Terrill, Edward Dunham. Rock Point
Willie White, Vlotoria Messner,

Pupils in other districts have passed
part of the examinations and will prob
ably complete the work in the fall term
examination.

Tnere is not the least doubt in the world but
that Medford will celebrate in a style grander
and more elaborate than any celebration ever
put up in the valley. A program has been pre
pared that will astonish us all.
The day will open with a salute to Old Glory
so loud that the Filipinos in their distant land
will enjoy it with us. The timbers of Roxy Ann
will be shivered, and these American citizens of
ours on the Pacific coast and in our new eastern
possessions will rejoice that they are American
citizens and entitled to crack all the fire crackers
they have a mind to.
There will be a short intermission following
the earth quaking salute, in order that time may
be given for the grand parade to form.
About the hour of ten the Medford band fif
teen pieces will play music and the procession
will begin its move, and the day's entertainment
will begin its unraveling of Bcenes interesting
and pleasant to look upon. The parade will be
made up of the Goddess of Liberty car, with
Miss Lillian Barr as Goddess, followed by the
Angel of Peace, chariots, floats, the high school
band and John Hardin's callithumpians. The
committees in charge of the parade are putting
forth every effort to make this the grandest exhi
bition ever presented on the streets of Medford.
At the grounds, near the school house, the ex
ercises will take place. There will be opening
music by the bands, oratioji by Hon. G. C.
Brownell, the Declaration of Independence will
be recited by Miss Mae Merriman. Those exer
cises will be interspersed with vocal music by
Medford's celebrated Choral Union, consisting of
fifty of our best gentleman and lady singers.
In the afternoon there will be a pulling con
test, a tug of war, horse races, foot races, and
several novelty races.
A game of ball will be played by Eagle Point
and Medford teams, for a purse of $50. This
will be an interesting feature of the day's pro
gram as the teams are evenly matched and there
is no little amount of strife between the teams
for the honors of victory.
Prof. Nelson's balloon ascension and parachute
jump will take place during the afternoon. This
will be a feature worth going many miles to see
and will be something entirely new to many of
our people. He ascends five thousand feet in
his balloon and then drops from it to the ground,
his descent being made with a parachute, to
which he clings with his teeth while dropping a
distance of from two hundred to five hundred
feet, before the parachute opens.
There will be music by two brass bands.
There will be the largest display of fireworks
ever seen in Southern Oregon.
There will be a bowery dance all day.
There will be a Firemen's dance in the opera
house in the evening.
Everything is being done that's possible to
make this celebration the best one ever presented
in this part of the state.
There are no celebrations this year in any
other towns of the valley, which fact ought to
insure us an immense crowd.
