Under the skillful hand of J. H.

Mr. Mac Lennan, as interlocutor, is the pivot about which the whole entertainment revolves, nnd the fact that he acts in such a capacity, is in itself assurance of a superior attraction, as he has had much experience in the past ten years in fraternal circles .in organiz ing and directing similar affairs. Mrs. Anna Z. Crayne, too, has been working assiduously In her ef forts to reproduce on the stage the scenes of her childhood in the sunny south, and the olio will be charged with the essense of darktown hilarity as the result of her labor to this end. However, there will be other features besides those savoring of Ethopia, prominent among which will be im portation from old Ireland, In which four winsome couleens and four counr try' gallants will introduce some of the favorite steps of the residents of the Emerald Isle. Another number distinctly of the hit variety will be the waltz of the woodpeckers, where in four of the airiest of young ladies disguised as these familiar birds, will flutter through a few graceful gyra tions and at the same time give an exhibition of knocking as it is done by the feathered denizens of the woods. Other features of especial note will be the song numbers of Pendleton's pedagogical quartet, Messrs. Welles, Akers, Landers and Owen, the "planology" portrayal singing specialties, and clever imper sonations of Jack Keefe, Weston's en tertainer extraordinary, and the solo selections of the city's best vocal tal ent, whose names alone are a suffi cient guarantee of excellence.

Local leaders in the ' movement to create a new state out iof northern California and southern Oregon, when shown dispatches from j California unfavorable to the project j today stated that as soon as possible ithiy would start an active campaign ' to. call attention to the advantages to I lit- derived from the creation of the i new state. i The movement originated in Med ford some months ago and has since been indorsed by many commercial bodies and men in all walks of life. I: was brought about through the seemingly inability of the territory embraced in the new state to secure any recognition by either state or na tional legislative bodies. Northern California, it is claimed, has long been neglected, while southern Ore grin says it Is impossible to get a na- jtional appropriation for any part of the state that does not border on the Columbia river. I At a meeting of the Medford Com I mercial club, the largest body of its ikind in Oregon outside of Portland, ! a mention of the proposed new state brought about a wild demonstration on the part of the 800 men present, which lasted many minutes. Local ieaders in the movement are claiming today that the sentiment expressed at this representative gathering Is uni veral throughout southern Oregon. Attention, Royal Areli Masons.

J., Kirk, the prominent Athi na farmer, former member of the h -N-lalure and presirent of the First Na tional bank of Athena, died at his home in that place at 3:4,' yister'av afternoon. Death was the r.sult of chronic livr trouble combined with a severe cae of grip. Though suff' r itig from a cold the deceased v as up on the streets of Athena but a f w days before his death.

Where ' ! th'! man now? .-k Sherlock Holmes. The wife of the defendant, also tes- . t'f!cd positively that on th" afternoon of Tuesday, the 22d day of Novem- i b r. In the year of our Lord inn!, she 1 saw the defendant In thp kliehen of the hotel vher she was worklmr In j Echo about 3 or 4 o'c lock In the af- ; Hrnoon And this is the afternoon; v lo p, the defendant i supposed to leiv been lading out on the road to the govern merit dam with the murder- j i-d man. .She pays he was in the j ki'c'ncii at that time, but as yet the, defence has put no oth'-r witness on j the stand who saw the defendant about Echo that afternoon. She was alone in the kitchen when the de fendant was In there. To r' hut this and refute it the state yesterday afternoon put three wit nesses on the stand who positively identified the defendant as being one of the two men on horseback riding out on the road from Echo toward the government dam. fine of the witnesfieM testified that the defend ant came down to his house, a little ways off the road, and inquired of the way to (he government dam, The other man nays that the defendant stopped him on the road and Inquired the way to the government dam. This wan about six miles out from Echo. These witncHsen were satisfied In their own minds that the defendant was the mV- "Vi ' ;H- V:-(1 T f:J-.'-2,t i$imt& -1 J.

This did not deter the crowd. They hung on, crowding the benches and standing up two and .three deep about the wails. The defense put a Miss Xissen on trie ."tan 1 who testified that she mw li.e defendant wait ng on the rail road track as he claims he did wait for the return of the horses. Hut M s ..ingiieii;er and her cousin who wen- out riding that afternoon says that they saw two men ride horse back across the track out on the res ervoir road and that they didn't see tin in s'.op to exchange horses any place near the railroad track, al though Attorney Peterson wanted to know of Mrs. Longnecker if there might Led have been that mysterious third person stand ng around the re si me w here and that she didn't sea him, Mrs. Longnecker admitted that she wasn't looking lor any mysterious third person, but stated positively that there was ii. . person around within 25 or 30 steps of the road or on the railroad :rack at that time. Kvery'.ody is waiting with almost breathless expectancy for the defend ant to take the stand, as Attorney Pe terson said he would do in his open ing statement to the Jury. But it is very evident for the line of testimony now being introduced by the defense that the defendant intends to cling to that old story of having turned the horses over to two other men. one of whom was the dead man, and he then waited on the ra lroad track for them to return.
