. I. W. Paulson Reviwits Ashland.
Paul .W. Paulson of Portland ar
rived on No. 13 yesterday and has
been kept busy ever since greeting
his many Ashland friends. He re
ports Mrs. Paulson well and says they
are getting to like Portland very
much, but that Ashland still looks
good to him. He commented upon
the beautiful new armory and the
handsome improvement of the city
hall as especially appealing to him.
He will remain here several days.
REBUILT CITY HALL WILL LOOK FINE
STRUCTURE APPROACHING COMPLETION AND ITS BEAUTY ATTRACTS
ATTENTION AND COMPELS ADMIRATION OF ALL
H. G. Enders & Son were the latest
victims of the epidemic of burglary.
Their store was entered last night
and two overcoats, two suits, silk
stockings, stickpins and other jewelry
and several velvet neckties were tak
en. The burglars secured entrance
through the rear window, tearing off
the Bcreen, breaking the glass and
releasing th! window fastening. The
work appears to have been that of
two men who wanted outfits.
"Gopher" Invade Ashland.
Mrs. D. H. Hanscom of St. Cloud,
Minn., and Miss Alice Abbott of Port
land visited at the home of Mrs.
James H. Doran last week. Mrs.
Hanscom will spend the winter in
Ashland, having spent several previ
ous winters nere. sue ien miuue-
sota clad iu snow and was delighted
to find rotes blooming here.
The new city hall in its appearance
is exceeding the expectations of the
friends of the project of rebuilding
and is even converting many who
thought it impossible to make a good
looking structure out of the old
building. Much credit is due F. Hi
Fitch, the architect, as well as to the
city council for the great improve
ment. Mr. Lamb, the contractor, is
doing first-class work and makini
good progress, all things considered.

the affirmative and inquired If they
had secured any. The chief of Marsh
field reported two hoboes arrested
there who had in their possession 26
or 27 knlveB bearing Mr. Simpson's
brand. The officers there were no
tified by Chief Porter to hold the men
and the local police sent Constable

Thanksgiving
Offerings Asked
The Tidings is in receipt of a cir
cular from the Boys and Girls' Aid
Society of Portland asking that it
solicit Thanksgiving contributions of
foodstuffs, olothes, etc., and stating
that the railroad and express com
panies would transport Btuff properly
marked dead head. The Tidings has
no doubt that the object is a worthy
one and the society reliable, but
there is a Sunshine Society in Ash
land which can place all donations of
this eort w'th worthy poor in our own
city, and: charity should . begin, at.
home. -Nearly every family in Ash
land could contribute something to
one of these causes and enjoy their
Thanksgiving dinner the better for
having done so.
About a year or more ago, when
the big packing interests had a stran
gle hold on the existing butcher shops
in Medford, John Dunnington of
Jacksonville, who had been supplying
the county seat with home-grown
meat raised on the ranges of the Ap
plegate and Illinois rivers, opened a
shop in Medford. As usual when a
man goes athwart the "powers that
be," he was given but a short lease
of life in the opinion of his competi
tors. The people of Medford, how
ever; saw fit to patronize him in pref
erence to the other markets and to
day he has one of the leading mar
kets of Medford. Mr. Dunnington
has Invaded Ashland and established
a market at 86 North Main street.
He says but little, but has "Fighting
the Beef Trust" in big letters clear
across the front window of his mar
ket, and that is not all. He is tak
ing the public into his confidence by
bulletining his priceB In his windows
and in the columns of the local press.
He will without doubt repeat his
Medford success in Ashland.
R. E. Allison says the Tidings was
misinformed as to the circumstances
of the accident Saturday night. Mr.
Allison states that the motorcycles
were running without lights and that
he saw the reflection of his light on
the headlight of Sayles machine and
thought that it was a machine aban
doned at the right side of the road
and so swerved to the left to avoid
it, seeing too late that it was a mov
ing "motorcycle. Mrs. Allison says
that he did not lose his head, but
that the fact that Sayles was running
without a light was the cause of the
accident.
"Blondy" Sayles is improving from
the result of the accident as rapidly
as could be expected.
Special Meetings.
There will be a series of special '
revival meetings at the Christian
church, corner Second and B streets,
the rest of this week and next week.
The -service will begin promptly at
7:30 each evening. Mrs. Clara G.
Esson, formerly of this city, is to
speak tonight concerning the Sunday
school work in Oregon. Then Mr.
Browning will do the preaching for
the meetings .each night thereafter.
The congregation has pledged the"
pastor that it will be faithful in at- i
tendance. The people of the city are
all cordially invited. Mr. Brown-ngs
sermons will be educational as well
as evangelistic, nere are some oi
his subjects:
"The New Testament Church." 1
"What Name Shall We Wear?"
"New Testament Baptism."
"The Lord's Unanswered Prayer."
"Seeking the Lost."
"The Unpardonable Sin."
"Christ's or Satairs."

Obituary.
Mrs. Elizabeth Peters was born in
Tiffin, Ohio, January 10, 1S30; she
was called to her heavenly home No
vember 9, 1913. Her maiden name
was Kroh. October 25, 1855, she
was married to Eli N. Peters. Three
daughters were born to them, of
whom only one is now living, Mrs.
Florence Studebaker, who has made
her home with her parents the last
few years. Besides her granddaugh
ter Bernice, who is now visiting here,
she leaves one grandson, Robert Stu
debaker, of Efland, N. C.
"Grandma" Peters, as she was affec
tionately known to many, was a beau
tiful Christian character. Always
looking on the bright side of life, she
spread cheer and sunshine all about
her. She had a kind word for every
one, while a smile never seemed ab
sent from her face. She gave herself
to her Savior when but a small child,
and worked faithfully in the kingdom
all of the years of a long life. When
she came to Ashland in 1907 she
united with the Presbyterian church
and was a constant attendant at its
services up until within the last few
weeks. At the last she suffered no
pain. She gradually grew weaker,
and with a smile on her face fell
asleep and awoke in glory.
The funeral services were conduct
ed on Tuesday at 2 p. m. by her pas
tor, the Rev. H. T. Chisholm. Inter
ment In Mountain View Cemetery.
"O love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May; richer, fuller be."
Many Abstracts

Local attorneys report a decided
improvement in real estate transac

of abstracts, e! D. Brlggs informs
the Tidings that he has examined
more abstracts to be used In sales
and trades during the past month
than in the year previous. Mr. Tref
ren informs the Tidings that practi
cally the same conditions prevail
with him. He states that out of
seven abstracts examined in his of
fice the past week six were for sales
and only, one for a loan. A pretty
good showing for quiet times.

tor Gillespie's lectin-? here yesterday.
He held his audience entranced white
he carefully opened up the Scriptures
on the subject, "Victory O'er the
Grave." lie appealed only to the
Bible for support and his points wore
well made and clearly nnd conclu
sively proven. We. give a brief report
of li is sermon for the benefit of our
readers:
Life on the Ell.
We have reached the position
j which we now occupy by menus of the
many victories we have won along
tho pathway of our experiences. All
mankind has advanced by overcom
ing difficulties, and each victory pre
pares the way for the succeeding one.
Among our many achievements, how
ever, there is one great and sad thing
lacking we have failed to gain any
victory o'er the grave.
Man's greatest enemy Is death. In
stead of man conquering death, death
j has been conquering man. Man once
had perfect life, and no such tning
as death existed. When man dis
obeyed, he became amenable to the
death penalty, and since then death
has gradually been gaining the as
cendancy. Before the flood the aver
ago man lived about 700 years before
he became the complete victim of
death; immediately after the flood
the average fell down to 120 years,
whereas now the average length of
life is little above 30 years. Even
the proverbial "three score and ten"
years Is already a thing of the past.
If something is not done soon, what
may we expect for our race In the
f m m. 1.
course ot a lew centuries: maun.
God, the Bible points out a relief, and
assures us that it will come before
it is too late!
Our Only Hope.
Like so many tributaries flowing
Into one great Tier to swell its vol
ume and ultimately to be merged Into
the great gulf below, bo, century af-
t?r century, have the lives of men
finwAii into the one rreat river of
death which terminates in the gulf or
tomb. There was no hope of deliv
erance until Jesus came and volun
tarily "poured out His soul unto
death;" Ho also went down this great
river of death info the gulf or grave.
For three days all seemed lost, but
on tho third day God raised Him from
the tomb, lie was the first one to
gain victory o'er the grave.
Since Jesus paid Adam's penalty,
Adam and his rare are legally free,
and in God'u appointed time they will
nil be set free and given an individ
ual trial in tho Judgment Day to
prove whether they are worthy of
eternal life or death. It was Jesus
who opened the way from death unto,
life, and eventually "All that are lit
their graves shall hear His voice aud
come forth." Jno. 5:2S.
