WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS HOLDS REGULAR MEETING The Woman's Belief Corps held their second meeting for the month in their rooms in W. O. W. ball on front street Saturday, April 25. A large membership was present at both meetings. The same zeal and snthosiasm so characteristic of the present members were shown by the reports of the executive and relief committees. As the regular meeting of Gen. Logan Post No. 8a is held in the same hall the first Wednesday of each mouth and the 1st of April came on their meeting night .the W. R. C. planned an old-fashioned April Fool's surprise party, . consequently when the G. A. R., at the close of their meeting opened the lodge room door, they were met by a crowd of fiO W. R. O. women and their "better half." Needless to say the brave buys of '61 retreated .back into the lodge room and surrendered to the inevitable. An Interesting program of music and readinns suitable for the occasion was given and enjoyed. Afterward a bounteous supper was seived, of the more snbstautial. as well as the daiutieit of viands. A pleaHant social hoar was passed and the surprised comrades admitted somewhat re luctantlythat it is possible foi woman to keep a secret sometimes. At the next corps meeting, April 18, after the routine aud business work dis pensed with, President Mrs. Goodnow requested Treasurer Mrs. Estella How ard to have the amount subscribed by the corps for the "Lincoln Farm As sociation" in readiness, as Mr. Pat rick, Commander of the Post, would oall for it Accordingly, instructing the color bearers to retire to the ante room, and shoo Id the gentleman be there, to escort them In. A rap from the president s gavel, a tap on the closed door, ana the entire corps arose to salute. Yes, Mr. Patrick was in waiting when the door was opdued. Mot only him, but 19 otber blue coated veterans marched In and across the hall to salnte the W. R. O. president! Consternation and sur prise reigned supremo for a few moments, among; the corps mem bers. Then the truth dawned upon os. The W. R. O. sururlse of two weeks before was being returned with compound interest I The special committee for the corps entertainment wished they might have had a more entertaining program for the occasion. However, the visitors very gallantly applauded. After a shoit recess in which he greeted the comrades and was Intro duced to the vlsitiug strangors some half dozeu of the Post had uoletlv left the room, soon returning, carry ing big traysladen with most de licious ioa cream, cake and oranges. No doubt these selfsame "boys in blue" planned and executed many a surprise in the early 'HO', but never had victory been more complete. Among the visiting comrades were some noted rersous. James Bartoa Ward, who claims relationship to Julia Ward Howe, said he was 87 years of age, and a contributor to f'e Army and Navy Journal, to Watson aud 'lentury uiaaziues. Another, Lewis Stoue of Santa Anna said he was born in 1810. Several others claimed they hud passed the allotted three score and 10 milestone of tbier lives and all were proud of the years they had given to their country. The beautiful April afterunoon was drawing to a close wtxn the visiting comrades departed, assuriug the corps that each had enjoyed t tie pleasant social visit. These social gatherings contribute largely to the success of onr corps with its baud of loval women, whose one object is to assist the Union veterans and their loved ones- who gave health aud oppor tunity that we might enjov the beat that life affords in. this greatett of republics.

"T JUDG JEWELL HAS TIED 57 NUPTIAL KNOTS Conoty Judge Stephen S Jewell, than whom there appears to be no more adept in the adjustment of nuptial ties, since his election to the bench not ouite two years ago has united 67 connles. This is probably more by I actoal count than the ceremonies per formed by all the balsnoe of the clergy jn the county during the same period. Of course the judge was ordained a Christian minister 21 years ago and by reason of his experience, was es pecially well qualified to attend to matrimonial affairs when he entered upon his judicial duties. Judge Jewell was born in Kentucky a little more than three score years ago He started .west 88 years ago and for the past 40 yearB had been en gaged in teaching school, preaching and lecturing. He has devoted a greater portion of his life to temper ance aud Sunday school lecturing. For 20 years he has been a resident of Grants Pas. Besides his present position as county judge, be has also served the people as deputy assessor and as jastlce of the peace. Judge Jewell, sometime go, in view of the unusual number of marriage ceremonies he had performed, set his mark at 60 ceremonies for the first half, or two years of his present term which will be the first of July. However, the Courier believes from the present activity of Dan Cupid and j Judge Jewell that be will have an even 100 to his credit. Why there were three licenses issued last Mon day.

The people of Merlin are greatly interested io teuipsrauoe and our best citizims are glad that they may soon have the opportunity to vote for ocal option. Mr. Kuodell was here in March aud lectured to a good andience and most of those who heard him are determined to follow his ad vice. A few davs after this the ladies of the W. C. T.

CALHOUN CO OUTFITTERS TO BOY AND MAN I JOSEPHINE WILL BE IN THE DRY LINE Sentiment In Fevvor of Suppres sing the Saloon Is Steadily Gaining Ground. It is now bnt one short month nntll the election when the question of Local Option for Josephine county will come before the voters and a glauce at the situation may 'help to give light to some. The reports from Jacksou omnty to the south and Douglas county to the north give the. strongest kiud of assurance that both these counties will go drv. It lhas been freely predicted in Grants Pass aud throughout the country precincts tliat Josephine county will be another' liuk in the white zone which will in the very near future traveise the state of Oregou from north to south. Has it ever occurr-d to you, good citizen, what Wii'.ld Ls the condition of Grants Pass, if Douitlas aud Jacksou couutiei went dry aud Josephiue did not? What do you think would be the haveu of refuge for the ondedrable haugerxon of the saloon, if our beauti ful city and county xhould be blinded to the dire n-sults tliat would iolluw? Let it not be forgottvu that our pres ent saloon evils would be increased several limes, aud let us by our votes protect our city and homes from the work of the destroyer. We already have some bright and sbluing exam ples of the good that results from the removal of the saloon, aud Mayor Matlock of Eugene can give lacts aud figures that ought to couviuce any fair minded uiau. If you have the opportunity get in to conversation with .some of Ash land's progressive citizens and see what they tliiuk about the bouetfis they have obtained. Ihey are not. slow to use in their advrelisinir cam paigu the words "Nn saloons, "and they know the effect these words have on people who have .families to raise. We have all the advantiri . . m'.i.iuu n aivinLirt- tiers, and how greatly they would be euhanced if we tould say "Brina vour sons aud daughters here, for we have uo saloons." We hear so much about the failure of prohibition to prohibit but is it not strange that the liquor fort es always fight prohibition to the I rnsi ciionr just look at thit clipping (from a recent number of 'Tueln i terior" published in Ohicauo: "Prohibilin is a failure." This is answered in a breath by mentioning the spread of prohibi tion territory to contiguous ground. Are the people in an adjoining town or county oi s'ate not able to ask their neighbors how the thing works oot? Have they not an object less"ou at their very doors? And dothey never go visiting? It is not reasonable to suppose that men will sacrifloe to wear clothes in they're light, thin, not be all-wool, correct in style and per. fectly tailored. Thin clothes ought not to hang like a rag inside of a few weeks after you begin wearing them. We'll show you Hart Scliaffner & Marx clothes, made to wear, not merely to look at or talk about; they're -the best clothes Every good style, in all the new shades and patterns and weaves; j the swellest lot of good clothes in this neighborhood. " i time, money, position, and even life, for something which has failed before their very eyes. Yet the movement has always spread from certain oen ters, just as fire spreads on the prairies. Oklahoma next Ksnras; Georgia next Tennessee; Alabama next Georgia; Mississippi nsxt Ala bama, and so on. And the same is holding true in Oregon aud the spread ii from the dry oounties to those that are nearest. Have yon ever thought of all woik of education which has been carried on for years, and how ihe W. C. T.U. has labored early aud late to have the children in our schools given correct knowledge about the evil effects of the drink habit! If yon have children in our public schools ask them what effect alcohol, has upon the human system and perhaps your education may be made a little more complete. The seed has been sown for years and now the fruit is beginning to ripen rapidly. ' Let as see to it that Jsoe phine oouuty does not suffer from a "frost." One of the significant things about the locil campaign is the number of I drinking men who do not hesitate to say that they will vote "dry." Surely if auyoue can be considered a jucge, it is the man who has had experience, ami many a man has found the exper ience ouly a lasting blight on himself and his family. If you have a good memory it will not tuke you long to count np ou the fingers of your two hands that number of families who hae suffered untold misery and sor row from the work of the Grants Pass saloons. If ever there was a time that every voter in Joiephine county should do his whole duty, that time is the first of next June, aud the responsibility rest on the individual. It ii easy to say this one or that one ought to vote t I ... 1 . . - . tur inea OUCIOU. Dot whv n..t von.
