Twelve ladies gathered together in

Boulevard with horns, whistles, tin
pans, etc., after the manner of an
old-fashioned charivari party. The
ladies numbered , themselves, taking
the numbers between 100 aud 5,000.
After Mrs. Vaupel became convinced
that they were friends and not a
crowd of boys, they vere admitted
and the evening was spent at 500.
The high score fell to No. 2926, who
received a summer hatband the low
score to No. 1322, who received an
untrimmed hat. The ladies carried

not arrived about midnight and tak
en them home the police would have
had them in the Insane asylum.

THE LITTLE PREACHER SPEAKS,
I
!Tlie Grauits Pass Courier Prises Ash.
! land Pastor
The Grants Pass Courier in an
nouncing the sermon of Rev. W. N.
D. MacCollough of the First Baptist
church, Ashland .has the following
to say of him in its Friday issue:
"Rev. W. N. D. MacCollough, the
youngest preacher in the association,
and the youngest man in America
who is a lawyer-preacher, will
preach at the session of the Rogue
River Baptist Association this even
ing. Rev. MacCollough is known
through the south and east as the
'Little Preacher,' but his sermons
are said to be filled with the biggest
kind of thoughts and ideas, always
a treat to his auditors. He is like
wise a trained newspaper man, hav
ing been editor of a weekly paper,
and an attache of one of the New
York city papers. He was associate
pastor of one of the largest Baptist
church organizations in the state of
Kentucky before coming west."
On Saturday the same paper re
ferred to his address as follows:
"Rev. W. N. D. MacCollough, the
Ashland pastor, spoke in the even
ing from the subject, 'In the Begin
ning of God.' He gave a most mas
terly address in which he touched on
the rise and fall of nations, and
pointed out where the Creator had
directed the course of events, and
not nature. He preferred to believe
the unmistakable evidence that man
had ascended through divine direc
tion and Intelligence rather than to
have evolved from- the lizard that
climbed a tree and became a mon
key." Annual Parish Meeting.
The annual parish meeting at
Trinity church will be held at the
guild house this evening at 8 o'clock.
There will be the usual reports and
business. Refreshments will be
served. All members are requested
to be present.

DEMOCRATSSTANDFIRM
Efforts of Republican.! to Alter Cau
cus Tariff Rill Fail in
the House.
Washington, May 1. All efforts
of the opposition to disturb the
"market basket" regulations in the
democratic tariff bill failed In the
house today, despite the fact that
republican orators sounded warnings
of ruined industries, enforced idle
ness and empty cupboards to follow
the enactment of the Underwood bill.
Still championing the bill as the
greatest that ever has been written
for the benefit of the people of the
country, the democrats were deaf to
the pleas of representatives of beet
and cane sugar constituencies
against free sugar in three years, un
moved by the charge that they legis
lated into the hands of the beef trust
by placing duties on livestock while
free listing their products; deter
mined to rush the passage of the bill
at the earliest possible moment.
Representative Kinkead, a New
Jersey democrat, uttered a prediction
that the senate would strike out the
ways and means committee's 10 per
cent rates on livestock. When Rep
resentative Sloane of Nebraska intro
duced an amendment to increase the
rate on cattle from 10 to 15 per cent,
after a 25 per cent amendment by
Representative Fordney of Michigan
had been rejected, Mr. Kinkead de
clared that he believed the ways and
means committee had kept the plat
form pledge to the peoplpe when
they had reduced livestock rates to
10 per cent, but he felt that the
committee should have placed live
stock on the free list along with
meats.
"I believe and hope," said Mr.
Kinkead, "that when it comes back
to us from the senate the duty will
be cut off and that every democrat
on this floor will support It."
This aroused prolonged applause
from the republicans.,
The agricultural schedule precipi
tated long discussion, though Mr.
Underwood held it down with fre
quent motions to cut off debate on
successive paragraphs. Amendments
were offered to increase the rate o.i
cattle, sheep, hogs, wheat, oats and
other grains and nearly every other
item In the bill, but all was rejected.
NEITHER BIRD NOR HUMAN
JUST A NUISANCE.
As a carrier of germs the parrot
is claimed by a number of doctors
to be unrivaled, and yet despite the
fact that this preposterous bird has
nothing to recommend him except
his unlikeness to the bird species,
he is to.be found in a great many
homes. He is considered worthless
unless he can" "talk" in a kind of
harsh resemblance to human speech.
He is really neither bird nor human;
he is a disorderly episode in crea
tion. He grates on the poetic soul.
He is a nuisance and we don't have
to have him with us.v But most of
us do have a carpet or rug or two,
and in the past we have been com
pelled to eat and breathe the pesky
germs that rise up from them morn
ing, noon and night, and they are
enabled to work their will with us.
But thank fortune things have
changed with us, for means have
been provided us whereby our car
pets and rugs can be free from dust
and germs and at no expense to our
comfort.
The means provided is the NnHnn-
al Hand-operated Vacuum Cleaner.
It weighs but 4 pounds and is so
easily operated that it does not tire
even a child. Operate it as hard and
as fast as you like and there'll be no
dust to breathe nor germs to con
sider, and your dusting problem will
no longer be a problem. The Na
tional Cleaner not only takes the
dust out of the carpet or rug, but
gets under them, the real seat of the
dust-germ problem. Operating the
National is really no more nor less
than a pleasing and helpful exercise,
but Its work in the interest of the
welfare of your home" life is inesti
mable. It affords the publishers of the
Tidings the greatest pleasure to an
nounce that arrangements have been
perfected whereby we can offer a
limited number of these cleaners in
combination with this paper for a
small sum, particulars of which will
be found elsewhere In this issue.
The Only Way.
The late Wilbur Wright put safety
above all else in aeroplane construc
tion. Mr. Wright was once watching
with critical eye the flight of a very
swift, very creaky aeroplane, when
a little girl said to him:
"Uncle Wiibur, can you get to
heaven in one of those machines?"
"Not by going up," replied the
great airman, "but if you have lived
a very good life you may do so by
coming down." Washington Star.

GRIZZLY CLIMBED.
Local Hunch of Hikers Scale Peak
on 4th Inst.
Yesterday F. Fountain Whittle of
Mississippi, W. Caragan Pickens of
Alabama, C. Barnette Wolf of Illi
nois, T. Walter Hudson of Texas, W.
David Whittle, also of Alabama, and
W. Henry Day of Iowa climbed Griz
zly peak. Most of these parties are
amateurs, and with the exception of
Whittle senior had never before
made the trip.
The trysting place was Oak street
bridge,, and with Whittle for guide
the party started promptly at 7:30
a. m., crossing the Waite tract, Ben
Selling's broad acres and. a portion
of the Herrin sheep domain. Hud
son was the botanist of the expedi
tion, Pickens gathered curios, and
Day took obsberva'ions of the eleva
tion, etc., by the aid of a reciprocat
ing mercurial alpenstock.
In latitude 23-19, W. by N. W.
of the Pompadour cliffs, a bee tree
was discovered, which was duly filed
upon. At an altitude of 4,00.0 feet
the party made a wide detour to
avoid a coyote, but thanks to Ram
sey's pet spaniel, "Sparkles," which
was taken along, the ferocious ani
mal took to the brush. At 5,000 feet
considerable soft snow was encoun
tered, and "mushing" was indulged
in until the slimmit was reached.
Here several timber rat nests were
visible.
Once on top, a substantial meal
was served a la carte. Even Ice
cream was on the menu, a cottolene
can being used for a freezer. The
chief ingredients were snow and con
densed milk, with salt, pepper, sugar
and other .flavoring. In the absence
of lemon extract, a dill pickle was
substituted, as fancy dictated.
From the summit there was a pan
orama of beauty. The weather was
absolutely perfect, so clear that
many objects about town were easily
discerned by the naked eye. Espec
ially did the roofs of the green
houses sparkle'1' In the bright sun
shine, and without removing spark
plug from either field-glass or binoc
ular, people In town could be seen
irrigating garden and lawn.
It took an even six hours to reach
the summit, where a rest of two and
three-quarters Rours was indulged
in. The descent was made by an
entirely different route, ending up
at the Square Deal orchards, where
a resolution was passed never to
climb those heights again without
the aid of aerial trolley or pack ani
mals. Three and three-quarters
hours seemed as many days on the
homestretch, and by the time the city
limits were reached it seemed as
though the position of toe and heel
on the hikers had been reversed.
Master David Whittle stood the trip
far better than older members of the
bunch. With one accord climbing
Grizzly was deemed a harder task
than scaling Mt. Ashland.
Three prospective members of the

Oickerson
and Granite Streets, Ashland.
expedition got cold feet and backed
out as they viewed the dim perspec
tive. The survivors now have an eye
on Pilot Rock, but it is safe to say
they trip won't be made this week.
In the meantime city pharmacies re
port a big demanl for "foot-ease,"
corn plasters and bunion sets.
In the climb to Grizzly peak.
David Whittle secured the pinion of
an ealge. This was about 18 inches
long and two inches wide, a feather
much too large for a hawk or other
predatory bird in this region.
At the summit the hikers un
earthed the signatures of a number
of local climbers, cached several
years ago in a tin can in that local
ity. They added to this list the per
sonnel of the expedition of May 4,
1913, in order that those who climb
in the future might read.
