WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1897 Teachers* Institute Program. Following is the program prepared for the teachers’ institute to be held in Grant’s Pass, April 28, 29, and 30, 1897: ' ■ The entertainment given in the opera house last Monday evening by Grant’s Pass talent, for the benefit of the S. O. Chautauqua, was attended by a large audience and proved a very successful affair in all respects. The ability exhib ited throughout the program reflected much credit upon Grant’s Pass, and all who attended the entertainment com ment favorably on its merits. The entertainment opened by a piano solo by Mrs. J. S. Parsons and Miss Maiy Silsby, followed by a male quartet, “Comrades in Arms,” by Messrs. Cra mer, Kinney, Cramer and Dodge. Miss Esther Silsby then rendered a contralto solo, “The Mighty Deep.” A piano so lo, “Awakening the Lion,” was execu ted by Miss Belle Robinson. The next number was a selection by the male quartet. This was followed" by a bass solo. “The Bugler,” by N. P. Dodge. The variety program was concluded by a clarionet solo by Dr. Van Dyke. Each number of part one was heartily encored by the audience. Music was also fur nished by Larson’■ orchestra. The second part of the program consisted of the presentation of a comic operetta, j “Penelope,” or the “Milkman’s Bride.” The characters in the play acquitted themselves in a creditable manner, and kept the audience in a continuous state of mirth. Ashland people were delight ed with their pleasing entertainers, and unite in saying, “Come again.” War Ha»- Begun. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28. 7:30 p. m .—Music and Opening Exer cises.

Active war has at last broken out be tween Greece and Turkey, and much hard righting is being done. The Turks fight like demons, having somewhat the advantage in point of numbers over the Greeks, who, while they gain many points, are not quite as successful as their adversaries. The advance of the Turkish forces into Greece is slow and steady; the Greeks stobbornly resist the invasion. A number of fierce battles have been fought, with the advantage slightly with the Turks, the Greeks yielding a few positions with a reluctance i that signifies to Turkey that triumph is not to be won in a day. Several Turkish forts along the water front of the Aegean sea have been taken by the Grecians, and the Turks are in rapid retreat to the interior, where their forces are massing. _ ___________ Local Populist Meeting. A meeting of the populists of the three local precincts was held last Saturday afternoon. A resolution was introduced condemning the coalitionists who pro- vented the organization of the house of the recent legislature. The resolution demanded that populist legislators who assert that they had been offered bribes, produce the names of the would-be bribers and the evidence against them before the grand jury of Marion county. With a few dissenting votes, the resolu tion was adopted, despite the effort made to lay it on the table. Other resolutions were adopted cen suring the populist county officials for ignoring the platform ot the party pledging a reduction of salaries of county officers. _____________ Climate Report.

The highest temperatures occurred last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, when they ranged from 82° to 90°, being highest on record for the month of April. The marked change in the weather from that which preceded the current week has had a most beneficial effect upon vegetation and the warmth l>eing followed by the rains of the past few days has been most opportune. A Chance to See Mercury.

We understand that the Phoenix boys have not been defeated in the past three years ; the “Red Jackets” are confident that their opponents will “meet their Waterloo” next Saturday, however. A game of much interest is promised. Co. B, First Infantry, O. N.G., of Mc- Minville, started last Saturday on the first of its series of practice marches. The line of march was to Amity and re turn. The company was well represent ed and presented a splendid appearance. Tremendous excitement exists in the wheat market of New York at present.
