"Bis Hopkins" At the Medford Tn-
tet Tonight
"Sis Hopkins," that delightfully fra
grant play of country life in the Hoo
sier state, which is now on its tenth
tour, is the attraction at the Medford
Theater tonight. Miss Hose Molvillo,
the originator of the peculiarly fascin
ating typo of stage character represent
ed by "81a Hopkins," is playing the
title role again and is supported by a
company the equal of any she has had
yet. .
'fObadiah," tho undertaker, is one
of the quaint character bits of the play.
He carries tape measure with him al
ways to rueaBure prospective customors;
a hollow cough fills him with joy and
rumor of accidont, death and devasta
tion are his constant hope. We' writes
epitaphs of rare wit and humor in which
me luiiies ana loioies oi tne good peo
ple of Posey county are hit off with
delightful simplicity. He wears an ex
aggerated coBtume of deep mourning
and lives in the hope of death. -
Mr. J. R. Stirling, Miss ' Melville's
manager, has put out an entirely new
production, and tho play has been am
plified and-improved until now It has
reached the acme of perfection. ' The
costuming is all new and the special
ties which have been so delightful a
feature of previous engagements have,
been changed and added to until now
there 'is left nothing to be desired. This
is especially true of the famous sem
inary scene, which- has been improved -to
the uttermost.

ALBANY, Or.; Deo .The Willam
ette river is now lower at Albany j.han
it has been in December for almost a
quarter of a century. The river is now
less than 1.3 feet above low water mark,
and still falling. - This is the average
stage of tho river in the middle of the
summer. Boatmen, here do not milium
bor a time in 20 years when tho river
hns boen so low in December.
The causo of this condition lies in the
fact that there has been practically no
rain in tho mountains this fall. The
rninfnl! in tlio'vnjley Ins been unusunlly
light and this has not been sufficient
to keep the river abovo tho summer
stage. Tho weather has been so cold
that when.rain fell in the valleys snow
fell in the hills nnd mountains. During
tho 'exceptionally cold weather of the
past few days thoro has been a heavy
snowfall in tho mountains of this part
of the state. - ...
