Ed.) Coming. Coming. What promjses to be the musical event of the season here is the con cert, followed by a dance, at Wood men mil on Wednesday evening, August 2d, in which Hcrr F. Han lem, late 'celloist of the German Hussars and direct from Berlin, Germany, will be heard in several selections, supported by Mr. Shed Rosebrook, late violin soloist at the Heilig and Pantages theatres, Port land, and Mrs. Mae Rosebrook, pianist. Ihe coming of Herr Hanlein to Toledo will mean much to lovers of good music as his reputation in world wide and he is the first star of mag nitude to be heard in concert here Critics abroad and in the East unite in praise of his marvelous ability His touch is that of a wisard: he enchants his audience with his mar veLus bowing and style. In his selections he has chosen wisely, his principal solo being the wonderful "Fantasie On Airs," from Euryan- the, by Weber. In other selections of equal merit he scores many en cores. i Mr. Rosebrook is widely known as a violinist of rare merit, having ap as ? oIoist in several of the principal theatres of the West Coast, notably the Heilig and Pantages at Portland. His work bears distinct iveness and his handling of his in strument has been complemented by artists whom he has suported in local engagements. His solos will add much to the program and in the concert numbers he plays a principal part. Mrs. May Rosebrook, while osten sibly appearing as accompanist, will offer at least one of the solos which were so well liked in concert offered by Portland musical societies in the past season. Following the concert a dance will be given, special orchestra effects being offered. Because of the large guarantee needed to ' bring Herr Hanlein to Toledo, fifty cents will charged, and tfance reservations can be made for an additional fifty cents a couple, immediately upon the con clusion of the concert. Henry C. Hay s, constable of Los Angeles township, was in Toledo Tuesday. Mr. Hayes is so well im pressed with Lincoln county that he purchased a piece of property near Wa!ip:rt "hi!: here. News of week by DR. NORTH SUSPECTED. Last Sunday evening Sheriff Geer and Deputy Ross went to Eddyviile and arrested Dr. North, a dentist formerly of this'place, and turned him over to Sheriff Gel lately of Benton county. . Dr. North is sus pected of the crime of murdering Mrs. Eliza A. Griffith, a widow, who was murdered at her home near Philomath on the nignt of June 2d. The Doctor had been at Philomath for some weeks doing dental work and had returned to his homestead near Eddyviile the latter part of last week. Suspicion was first di rected to Dr. North when a minister at whose house North was staying a few nights after the murder heard mm waiKingtne floor and murmer- tives ha.e been following the case from this statement of the minister. Mrs. Griffith's body was found the day after the murder in a shal-1 low pond a quarter of a mile from 'her home. On June 6 the coroner's jury investigating the crime found that Mrs. Griffith was killed by strangulation by persons unknown to them. The appearance of the widow's home with contents of bureau draw ers scattered on the floor, furniture thrown about and open pocket-books and papers topsy-turvy in the rooms caused the belief that murder was committed with robbeiy as the mo tive. The day before her death Mrs. Griffith had sold her farm and it was generally known in the neighborood that she was to receive $1000 in cash. She had received the money and deposited it in the bank at Philo math. The certificate of deposit was found among the scattered pa pers. Later At the preliminary ex amination before a justice of the peace at Corvallis yesterday, Dr. North was cleared of the charges, as there was no evidence to connect him with the crime.

ESCAPED WITH HIS LIFE . "Twenty-one years ago I faced an awful death, "writes H. B. Martin, Port Harrelson, S. C. "Doctors said I had consumption and the dreadful cough I had looked like it, sure enough. I tried everything I could hear of for my cough and was under treatment of the best doctor in Georgetown, S. C. for a year, but could get no relief. A friend ad vised me to try Dr. King's New Discovery. I did so and was com pletely cure. I feel that I owe my life to this great throat and lung cure." Its positively guaranteed for coughs, colds, and all bronchial affections. 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free at Toledo Drug Co. I Some thirty or forty of the most Progressive citizens of Toledo and surrounding vicinity met at the ! courthouse last Tuesday evening to learn of and discuss the proposed Toledo-Siletz railroad. Joseph Swearingen, as president of the De velopment Lague, called the meeting to order and presided. J. F. Stew art, one of the promoters of the enterprise, told of the present plans and spoke of the probable results to be obtained when the local citi zens have secured the rights of way and terminals. He was followed by Dr. M. M. Davis of Newport, and others, who made good, enthus- !iastic taIks on the subject. On a vote be,n taken bv the meeting as to whether the enterprise as started i bv the committee was a good one and wheher it was the desire of the people that the work should be pushed ahead until the object was obtained, resulted in the vote being aimost unanimous, uvery progres sive man in the county we believe will do everything in , their power to assist this movement and the committee should have no trouble in securing the necessary rights of way. The proposition of Mr. Gar land, who met with our people last week and signed contracts to build the railroad, is a good, liberal offer, and one wherein the people of this section can not possibly lose as he guarantees to commence construc tion of the read within 60 days af ter the options and rights of way are secured, and to fully complete and equip the railroad within one year. The people give him nothing until the road is completed and equipped then the right of way and terminals revert to the railroad. Toledo wants the Siletz timber to come out this way to the markets and' we believe the only way to get it is to assist in getting a railroad into it. Superintendent K. C. Egbert re turned Wednesday from a visit to Portland. , Charles Blacketer returned Wed nesday evening from a visit to the Valley.
