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.”

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.

not again probable for some time.
Frosts are not probable.
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.
It is only once in a while that this
planet is easily visible, savg the Youth’s
Companion, and perhaps our readers
will be glad to know that they will have
an excellent opportunity to see it on
April 27 th, and for two or three da vs lie-
fore and after. It will not set until
nearly two hours after the sun goes
down, and w ill I m ? fairly conspicuous in
the western twilight as a ruddy star of
the first magnitude, rather brighter than
Aldebaran, and a little south and east of
Pliades.

The “Red Jackets,” our local base
ball boys, are looking forward with
interest to their contest with the Plxv-
nix nine next Saturday afternoon. 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.
Prices have advanced four cents a bush

W ar news and foreign buying are the
factors that occasion the tumult.
