( )u last Monday was witnessed a very spirited and hotly contested municipal election in this city, their lieing no particular issue, but simply a sharp contest between the champions of the two tickets in the field. The one ticket headed by H. O. Thompson, a prominent merchant of the town, was desig nated "Citizens ticket,’1 and the other, headed by Dr. B. R. Job, a R ESO LU T IO N S A D O PTED . local practicing physician, was ‘’ Resolved, T hat we believe in styled "T axp ay ers tick et.” A equal opportunities for all, special good natured but lively contest privileges for none.

The “ Citizens” ticket, which met defeat was also composed of op good, progressive and jxipular bus iness men and citizens, against whom there is probably not a man in town who entertains any jier- sonal feeling, however both tickets could not win and it happened to 1>e the one which was in need of the necessary votes to elect. In conclusion we will say that it is gratifying to note that all per sonalities and factional feeling is already being cast aside and the citizens of the town show a dis- I>osition to pull together in an ef fort to make Cottage Grove bigger and better the coming year.

One of the liest known musical organizations of the central I'uited States is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, un der the direction of Adolph Rosen- becker. l;or over nine years this musical organization lias lieeji the central figure of the music festi vals of the Middle West. This year the orchestra is aug mented by a number of excellent . instrumental soloists, which will add much to the artistic work of the festival season lex-ally. Noth ing better in -orchestral concerts are now lxMng given in America, than these of the Chicago Sym phony and when they visit Kugene on April 14 and 15, augmented by a quartette of vocalists and ( the Kugene Oratorio) chorus of 175 voices, a splendid treat is promised. Numbers of music lovers in Cot tage Grove have expressed their in tention of attending this unusual attraction, brought almost to our door and it is more than probable that our city will be represented on this occasion by a large delegation.
