"Just Ou of OoUeff.,,
Tomorrow is tho last day on which
subscribers will have first call on seats
for the opening of the new Medford
Theater.' On Thursday the general pub
lic will be accommodated, so it behooves
those on the list to get a move on them
tomorrow. The salo opened today very
satisfactorily and everything indicates
a packed house. -,
"Just Out of College1' played Seat
tle last week and the Post-Intelligencer
has the following writeup of . the per
formance which wottld Bm to indicate
that Manager Hazelrigg 'hain't gone
wrong in his choice of an opening at
traction:
"At the Grand opera house yesterday
afternoon and evening' George Ade's
comedy, "Just Out of Colteg" held
two big audiences in a continual roar
of laughter from start to finish.
The arory tells of tho trouble that a
young man Just'out of college,' by. name
Swinger; has when he telly a. rich pickle
dealer that he ia in love with his daugh
ter. Of course Pickering, the plekle
man, wants to know what 'tho 'young
man'B assets are, and when he finds
that thoy consist of three'v suits of
clothes, a suitcase, tennis racquet and
a few other thing, h decidoa to. stake
tho youth to $20,000 and give him three
months to make good in. At tho end
of that' time if ho haf gotten something
to show for his money he can hare the
girl; If not, ho must leave her alone.
' W it Ik tho mouey in ' his ' pocket
Swinger moeta with the woman who ran
a boarding house in his college days and
sho has n recipe for pickles tKat smkes
the Pickering brand a drug on the mar
ket. The landlady and the graduate
join forces and manufacture pickles un
til tho Pickering firm baa to buy, them
out, and the money is saved and the
girl won "A simple" plot, but you want
to see It worked out as they do it at
tho Grand.
' "George Ado knows well how to
Irnw diameters and there is a complete
gallery of them in the present bill. Wil
liam A. Mortimer plays Swinger with a
lot of spmt, and shows up the col lego
graduate to fine advantage: He has
omedy methods that smack of William
Collier and he has a lot that are his
own, too. James Cooper gives one of
tho best characterizations of the busy,
blustering, businesslike old man for a
long time, if at? 'all. ' Ho' is just the
typo that could make a pickle factory
blossom into 57 varieties of profits.
Lester Crawford is easily tho fun of
the pieco as Slivers Mason, otit of col
lege, but not far enough out to have
forgotten tho lockstep and other .ac
aomplishments that tend to keep him
in the primrose path for fear he may
miss something. Ho gives a remarka
bly true picture of hundreds thnt are
turned out of brain factories : every
year (business with hands) "jupt like
that' and he baa o nemg, "dust Like
That," with a dance that is a complete
Huccnss.
'There is not much to the, musical
ond of the pieeo and there is not much
in tended. All tho singing numbers come
in the second act, and Mr, Mortimer has
A good number, "According to Hoylo,"
which starts things well. Of epursef col
lege airs predominate in the orchestra
elections, and the vim of the Rah!
Rah! lth! runs through the three acts.
At the Bijou.
A group of pictures decidedly better
than tho ordinary were shown at the
Bijou last night to a goodly crowd,
who well appreciated the merits of 1h$
performance. !
IVturos with the cowboy in evidence
never fail to arouse the keenest inter
est among the general public. "A
Western Courtship" comprises most in
teresting and realistic incidents of cow
boy life in the west.
"A Romance of the South' is also a
very realistic reproduction of slavery
days. The planter's home, selling of
Hlaves, escape of slaves and pursuit by
slave owners aro all most intensely in
teresting scenes.
"Tho Washerwoman's Revenge" is
the big comic hit of the season. It
guarantees a long and hearty tnngh. To
night the Bijou.
' At the Savoy.
Tonight is the last night the people
of Medford will have a chance to see
the "Great Yellowstone Park Hold
up. This picture is an exact reproduc
tion of the holdup, which was the most
daring one pulled off in the Inst dec
ade. It clearly shows the bold western
desperado stopping and robbing seven
coachloads of people in the world 's
greatest park. The portrayal is well
acted and shows rnany amusing inci
dents as well as thrilling ones.
j'The Bnlly" is a picture that takes
one back to childhood dayif aad shows
the bully mistreating the children of
his neighborhood. Like all bullies, he
finally meets his match and receives a
good threshing from a smaller boy. The
acting and children ara Tpry realistic,
the fight being true to life.
The other picture, "The Wayward
Daughter," is a beautiful story full of
life interest and i well told. Miss Ki
fert sings the beautiful Venetian love
song, "Kanella," ia ft most pleasing
manner.

COUGABS PLENTIFUL
' 7 IN THE EUGENE COUNTRY
Wurd reaches us this week that the
cougars are more numerous in settled
d iit ricts tb ail they have over been here
tofore says the Eugene Guard. A con
siderable loss is reported by the various
farmer , and certainly something will
hare to be done. Between wolves and
yarmiuta, sheep goats and deer are be
ing slaughtered to a prodiguous extent.
H. S. Webber wao nas a place on
Cedar creek, tells that laBtt week a big
cougar kilted a large wethar, which was
too large tor it to carry away, so leav- j
ing its victim, the cougar killed another J
and bore it away. This was within 30
yards of his barn, and they are becom
ing more and more audacious. Some
thing of an idea of their danger can be
obtained when the cougar which killed
the-Wether, smashed its shoulder aud
broke its neck. Thoy aro liable to at
tack a child at any time, and the bounty
for them should be made high enough
to make it an object to exterminate
them. J :
Jai-k Powell hae six varmint dogs'
with which. he has killed five cougars5
sIrcp ,lcut March. The animals oeem to j
from the mountains. Out of a bunch of
150 goats, Mr, Webbor tells ns he has
less thau n0 left. Raising goats for the
varmints is poor business, and he is go
to quit trying to raise them.
BANK OPENS ITS INSURANCE
AND ANNUITY DEPARTMENT
BROCKTON, Mass., Nov. 10. The
Peoplo's Saving bank, of which Ex
Governor William L. Douglass is presi
dent, opened its Life Insurance and
Old Ago Annuity department today.
The recent Massachusetts law per
mits savings banks to issue lift insur
ance up to f;i00 and annuities up to
$200 a year, the design being to enable
worktngmen to oupplv themselves with
old ago annuities and life insurance at
UiO lowest possible coat. The banks are
not 'to employ any solicitors or collec
tors, but will appoint a largo number of
agencies throughout ihe state where ap
plications can he made and premiums
paid.
President Dougtasa provided the
large guaranty fund required for the
establishment of the insurance depart
ment bf the bank. It is expected that
this law will in the near futim prove to
bo us beneficial as the law creating
the State Hoard of Arbitration, which
Mr. Douglass, as senator, twenty-two
years ago, eh (unpinned, and under
which his immenue factories at Brock
