ODD FELLOWS’
:
Oregon.
On Tuesday of last week the mem­
bers of that order took occasion to
celebrate the 91st anniversary of
the existence of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellowship in America
and to dedicate their new ball.
Members of the several lodges
throughout the country were in at­
tendance and the “ Three Linkers’’
took the town. The steamer Dis­
patch was chartered for the occasion
and carried a crowd of about 150
from points all along the river, and
including those from Coos Bay who
had came over by train. The boat
was met at the wharf by Bandon’s
splendid concert baud aiid the visit­
ors were escorted through town,
marching to the strains of music.
At two p. m. the band again ap­
peared and called the assemblage
together at the Orand Theatre,
where a short program of band
music, and a solo by Mrs. T. H.
Mehl were rendered, followed by
the address of welcome by G. I\
Treadgold. The members of the
order then adjourned to the new
hall where the business session was
held, at which time many things of
importance were looked after, the
formation of the Coos County Odd
Fellows’ Convention being one,
with the following named officers:
O . A. Hoyt of Bandon Lodgo No.
133 was elected permanent chuirman
and Henry Sengstacken of Sunset
Lodge No. 51 of Marshfield elected
permanent secretary.
The business of the convention is
to be conducted by fire executive
members of each lodge and such
names sent to the chairman for ap­
pointment.
The next annual meeting of the
Convention will be held at North
Bend, the home of Arago Lodge
No. 28, that being the oldest lodge
in the county.

Two Trains a Day.
A tt o b k b is - at L a w ,
The local S. P. went onto the two-
trains-a-day service the first of the
month and it is now possible to go
to the Bay, transact business and
return the same day.
This is a
convenience which our people and
the traveling publio greatly appre­
ciate, and it is to be hoped that the
patronage of the road will be such
that this may be continued indefi­
nitely.
The Sunday service between
Marshfield aud Myrtle Point was
begun the first, with a little change
in the schedule from that which the
extra Sunday trains have been run­
ning on the past few weeks.
The
Sunday achedule now is the same
as the morning schedule during the
week. The train from Marshfield
is due here at 8:55, and leaves for
Myrtle Point 15 minutes later.
Due from Myrtle Point on return at
10:35, and leaves for Mnrsbfield at
10:45. In the afternoon it is due
here at 2:55 and starts tor Myrtle
Point at 3:05. On the return it is
due here at 4:35 and leaves for
Marshfield st 4:45.

Kansas
City, May
2.— Last
night's heavy rain and hail storm
was general in Missouri, eastern
and central Kan as, North Central
Oklahoma, Iowa, Nebraska, de­
moralized telegraph and telephone
service for many hours and caused
more or less damage to fruit and
growing crops. In central Kansas
six inches of rain fell, breaking a
six weeks drought. At VVichita it
was accompanied by a 44-mile wind.
Trees were uprooted and telegraph
and telephone poles prostrated.
A tornado struck the outskirts of
Emporia, Kansas, last night and de­
stroyed several small house but it
is believed do lives were lost.
Snow fall in Denver this morning
and freeziog temperatures prevailed
Colder temperatures are predicted
for the southwest tonight.
Ho. All Fish Eating Birds
D on’t overlook the state ot Ore­
gon. It is one o f the greatest fish
states in the Union and the people
have due respect for all birds that
eat fish. AH loons, shags, coots,
heron, crane and all other fish-eat­
ing birds are welcomed and protect­
ed.
The state has many fine streams
and any active loon; shag or fish
duck can easily pick up too small
trout or salmon in a day.
During
the spawning season a hungry shag
or coot can secure a fill of salmon
and trout eggs, besides all the
young fish they desire. There are
many shallow lakes where a heron
or crane can spear dozens of fine
trout without effort. These shallow
lakes also furnish gallons o f spawn
for coots.
It is a paradise for hsb-eating
birds and the people are so e a sy .
They do not charge we birds any
license. For us there is no closed
season, catch limit, nor size limit,
and the state pays men to protect
us. The state charges citizens a li­
cense, limits their catch and makes
them measure the length of the fish
to see that they are over six inches.
The average citizen does not fish
ten days on his license and he don’ t
catch as many fish in a season as
one o f us does in a day. We hope
to have laws enacted soon to keep
keep people off our fishing grounds
during the day as their presence
annoys us besides they make the
fish wary.
However, the state
furnishes hatcheries which turn out
millions o f small fry for us every
year besides hiring men to protect
us. Some o f the more radical birds
say they should pass laws favoring
us more, but the conservatives say
we had best be careful lest the
people investigate and discover that
we are eatiug four fifths o f the fish
and spawn. Long live the Oregon
fish laws, say we.

Mothers' Day
Sunday, May 8, is mother’s day
all over the United States On that
day it is the plan to have every per-
son wear a white carnation for his
mother.
In the various pulpits
ministers will take the significance
of the day as a subject for the morn­
ing Bdrmon. All who attend at the
various services are expected to
wear a white carnation.
The plan to Intvo mother’s day
generally observed in Oregon was
first proposed by the Oregon State
Federation of Women’s Clubs, of
which Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, is presi­
dent. Notices are being sent out lo
the newspapers all over the state,
asking them to take the lead in the
smaller places.
Prize F.ghter Kilted.
Han F.aucisco, April 3 0 — Tom­
my McCarthy, light weight pugilist
of this city, who was knocked out
and his skull fractured in the 16th
round of his fight with Owen Mo-
rau, of England, here last night,
died of his injuries at St. Mary’s
hospital early today.
For over an hour the boy was uu­
der the knife in the operating room
at the hospital, but all efforts to save
bis life proved unavailing and short­
ly after he was removed to his cot
the fighter passed away, never hav­
ing regained consciousness.
Mc­
Carthy’s skull was fractured at the
base ot the brain as a result o f the
impact of bis head against the mat
after Moran had sent him to the
floor with au over-hand swing to
the jaw .

plication of this liniment- Try it.
You are certain to be delighted with
the quick relief which it affords.

CIRCUIT COURT
PROCEEDINGS
Short Reports on a few Cases
Disposed of During the
Past Week.
Judge Coke in a decision given
Thursday of last week, holds that
the Port ol Coos Bay Commission
is a legally formed body and that
County Treasurer Dimmick should
immediately pay over to 9aid com­
mission all taxes in his hands so
far collected for their use as such
commission, which amounts to
about $7,000. This case will be
appealed.
The case of R . A. Graham, the
promoter ot our local railroad
against J. D. Spreckels & Bros. Co.,
aud the Southern Pacific Co. which
occupied the attentions of the court
several days last week, was given
to the jury on Monday. A verdict
was found for the defendants in a
short time. Exceptions were taken
and a motion for an appeal has been
filed.
Chas. Nei*, the much talked of
■‘Coon Skin Charlie,” was a little
too smoothe for the prosecutors.
His plans were too well laid aud
his stories so smoothely woven
that it was impossible to convict
him and he was allowed to hike for
his home in Wyoming, where we
presume he will again embark in
the coyote business. He furnished
lively entertainment for the court
and all attending during his trial.
Upon motion of his attorneys, the
trial of William White, indicted for
the stabbing to death ol his step­
father, L. R. Jones, at Bandon in
lebruary, has been continued until
the next term of court.
This was
done in order to give more time for
the gathering of evidence in regard
to White’s sanity.
It is claimed
that there is a streak of iusanity
leading back through his ancestry,
and the circumstances uuder which
the killing was done goes to lend
color to the theory, which will be
thoroughly looked into
The Newport at Our Dock.
The steamer Newport landed at
our dock last Friday on her first
trip to this city since going on her
regular run between here and Port­
land. She is in command of Capt.
Parsons, formerly o f the Alliance.
The Newport carries only freight,
and will make a round trip every
eight or ten days. She will call at
Coos Bay each down trip, leaving
what freight she may have for that
place, and it is expected she will
make calls at Tillamook when the
occasion requires. On this trip she
carried a large load of freight, and
the prospects are good for sufficient
work to be found to keep her on
the run.
The Newport had uo trouble in
coming up the river. Of course she
will take advantage of tides, but
they tell us with just a little‘dredg­
ing near Parkersburg that a differ­
ence of two hours could easily be
made. This, by the way, will fur­
nish a little food for reflection for
those who are opposing the estab­
lishment of a port commission.
It looks good to see an ocean
steamer at our docks, and it is im­
portant to receive freight with as
little handling as possible.

About That Trust.
Call and See Us
Hear the Music.
Is the meat trust responsible for
or interested in the meat boycott?
Thousands of farmers fed hogs and
cattle during the winter months for
marketing in the spring.
It be­
comes unprofitable to feed stock of
this kind after they arrive at a cer­
tain stage of maturity, snd more so
when prices of feed are so high.
If conditions could be brought about
that would depress prices just when
this lot of stock gets ready to come
on the market, it would mean mil­
lions of dollars to the meat trust.
A meat boycott would be a nice
way of starting an agitation that
would fuinisb an excuse for lower­
ing the price on cattle, hogs, etc.
To help increase the tensity of the
situation : nd scare the farmers to
market their stuff, it would be very
appropriate to announce that the
meat trust bad meats enough for a
six or ten months’ supply on hand.
Such statements as these naturally
startle the farmers, because they
are Dot used to studying their buei.
Dess as a whole— that is, counting
hogs, cattle, sheep, etc., by the mil­
lions.
The tobacco groweis of
Kentucky are used to that kind of
dope. They have been told time
and again that the tobacco trust had
tobacco enough to carry it from
three to seven years, and that the
farmers had better sell their tobacco
or go broke waiting for a market.
We don’t mean to say that that
fellow down in the factory who is
credited with starling the boycott
was williDgly or even knowingly the
tool of the meat trust in so doing.
Trusts in our day have more men
working in their interest who are
innocent as to the results of their
effort than is generally known.—

Martha R Withey-Welcb, the sub­
ject of this sketch, was born in
Maine, on the 12th day of February,
1817.
She was married in the
state of her birth on June 4th, 1840,
to Moses Welch, who preceded her
15 years ago. Ten children were
born to this union, six sons and
four daughters.
In 1861 they
started westward, makitig their first
stop in Illinois, where they remain­
ed till 1873, when they moved to
*
Iowa. From Iowa they moved to
Minnesota in 1879, and in 1882 to
South Dakota, where Mr. Welch
departed this life. In 1901 Mrs.
Welch came to Coos county with
her sons, M. A. and G. C. Welch,
who cared for her during her last
years and did all possible to make
her comfortable.
The deceased
became a member of the church
when young and her long life was
well spent and the world was made
better by her having lived in it.
The interment took place in the
G. A. R. cemetery at Bandon, the
funeral being conducted bv Rev.
8 . B. Hollenbeak, of this city, and
was atUndid by a large number of

This is a more dangerous disease
than is generally presumed.
It
will be a surprise to many to lenm
that more deaths result from it than
from scaret fever. Pneumonia ofteD
results from it. Cbamberlaiu’s Cough
Remedy has been used in many
epidemics of whoopiog cough, and
always with the best results.
Del­
bert McKeig Harlan, Iowa says
of it: "M y boy took whooping
cough when Dine months old. He
had it in the winter. I got s bottle
of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
which proved good. I cannot rec-
commend it too highly.’’ For sale
