a very spirited and hotly contested
municipal election in this city,

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

At the Kugene Musical Festival

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

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

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.
