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.

At present I am receiving quite a
few letters of inquiry in regard to

County Clerk Howell and Miss

on their many friends in this county
except a very few, who were "put
wise" by their marriage in Port
land last evening. Of course the
couple has been '"under suspicion"
for some time, but their friends
did not imagine the event was to

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.
