'Cinderella In Flowerland." as rendered by the pupils of the grades of the Grants Pass high school, Is a beautiful little operetta, and the en thusiastic endorsement of the great crowd that filled the opera house on Friday and Saturday evenings was given the little people for the very capable manner in which they staged the spectacular production. From the signal of the orchestra director, E. R. Hulbirt, who has de veloped the high school orchestra, composed largely of players under 16 years, Into an organization of which the city is proud, to the fall of the curtain on the tableaux, illum inated by a rosy light. "The Crown ing of Prim ess Marguerite by Prince Kunshlne's Train of Sunbeams," the climax of the fascinating fairy story, It was an evening full of surprises and delight. Introducing her audience to Fairyland, Esther Gilkey, with gold en oars, rowed us to the sands of its golden Bhores, singing sweetly as she carried us along. A most fortunate choice gave us Florence Riddle as the eventual princess, her winning ways not only making an Irresistible appeal to the prime, but also to the audience. Master Wlllard Hartlett, a bonnie prince, radiated sunshine rrom nis beplumed and glittering hat and gold encrusted doublet, to the tips of his golden slippers and with clever enunciation and expressive voice did the honors of royalty to the queen's taste, leading the merry dances and playing the ardent wooer In a way that would have reflected credit upon an older lover. Arthur Cramer held a unique place on tne cast, an impersonation ui robin red breast mude up to look the part. Tiger Lily and Hollyhock were excruciatingly funny In their futile attempts to fascinate the prince. Words are inadequate for describ ing the artistic effects secured by the ostiiming and marching, dancing, singing and posing of the sunflow ers, gardeners, buttercups, poppies, sweet peas, daisies and apple blos soms, iieaiiiinii ueyonu uescripnon was the work and costuming of the butterflies, with their transparent draperies, their gauzy gilt, silver, black anil purple splotched robes and wings of gowns of palest green, pink and blue, while and yellow; nor an we refrain from especial men tion of the solo work of Esther Gil- key, Elizabeth Boesch, Carmalita Boole, Vivian Isham, Evelyn South and Lucile Wright and Ernest Teel. Carl Boesch, Arthur Cramer, the duet by Lynetta and Vernetta Quin- lan and the trio by Marlon Sabln, ynetta Qulnlan and Helen Lister. The charioteers of Daisy's train demand especial notice as does the hit made by IwIb DeGenault as Bonny Bee." Carl Boesch brought down the house with his "Little Yel low Duck' and "doubled the crowd up" with "The Elf Man" and his Inimitable nnd grotesque contortions f expression. Pathetic to the verge of tears was the- unconsciously ingenious render ing of the ong of the soldier papa by one little tot, Lucille Wright. This rendition of "Cinderella" re flected credit upon each of the little men and women who appeared upon the stage, and likewise upon Miss Messenger, who directed the produc Hon. and all who assisted In the work. MEDFOUD MERCHANT ARRESTED HV PARTNER. MEDFORD. May 10. H. C. Kent nor, manager and part owner of the 11. C. Kentncr department store of this city, was served yesterday with a warrant charging him with the em lie.zlemont of 1 4U. The warrant was sworn to by F. E. Merrick, busl ness associate of Kentncr. Kentmr is one of the most prom lnent men in southern Oregon and has been Identified with many local business enterprises. The complaint tiled against Kent tier charges the theft of $40 but It Is known that tho shortage totals over $ 1 2.000. Merrick is on much of Kentner's paper and is said to be hard hlx. He is vice president of the Medford National hank. An examination of the linn's books by District Attorney Kelly shows that Kentner paid himself a salary of $300 a month when he was supposed to draw hut $17.") a month, and that the $12,000 shortage Is In addition to this Kentner's son, who manages one of the departments. Is said to have overdrawn his salary $1,.'.00. The father will be held accountable for this. Office stationery at the Courier. WEATHER OBSERVER TELLS OF APRIL SHOWERS Ai.rii record shows 2 1-4 inches of precipitation and the prospect for late rains continues good. This is not given as a prediction, but it simply calls attention to conditions which are apparent to all. Rain fall on twelve different days during the month, but taken as a whole, it was good working weather and street improvement was contin ued without serious interruption. Gardeners in all parts of the city were progressing finely and In many localities the residents are enjoying early vegetables of their own grow ing. The thermometer said that the temperature rose to a little over 80 degrees on three different days, but tho mun tenmerature was only 50 degree. Roads were In excellent condition and teaming was active, while autos were flying about over the country and ountings with dinner in the woods were enjoyed by several par ting. On the whole, we have no cause to comnlaln of the weather conditions given us this spring, but rather to be thankful, and as a rule those who have been known to express an opin ion have seemed to have an conn dence that Grants Pass and its tribu tary country would have an abundant harvest in 1913. . ORGANIZE CONGREGATIONAL C1IIRCH AT THREE PINES. Rev. Geo. E. Paddock, of Portland; Rev. II. M. Smith, of Portland, and Rev. M. C. Davis, of Roseburg, met with Rev. A. C. Howlett, of Eagle Point, In this city Sunday and the four gentlemen went up to Three Pines for the purpose of organizing a Congregational church. There has been a Sunday school at that place for some time and the interest has grown to such an extent that it was deemed advisable to organize a church. The charter members num ber about twenty, and in the course of time they expect to have a build ing of their own. CONVENTION OF SI NDAV SCHOOUS HAS CLOSED. So far as the addresses, discussions and reports were concerned, the coun ty Sunday school convention, which closed its sessions Sunday afternoon, was a most helpful and inspiring one It is only to be regretted that both the weather and other attractions prevented a good attendance. Many excellent suggestions were made with regard to better efficiency in Sunday school maintenance and as to methods for extension of the work. Deafness Cannot Re Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mu cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO, Toledo, O.

STUDEBAKER South Bend, InA NEW YORK CHICAGO JULIAS KANSAS CITY DFNVER MINNEAPOLIS SALT LAKE CITY SAN FRANCISCO PORTLAND, OKK. .SEES .MF.XACK OK WAU fISETWKEX V. S. AM) JAPAN. S BATTLE, May 12 In an editor ial article the Seattle Times Is on rec ord today as recognizing the ability of Japan to inflict fearful damage on the American people should it event ually decide that the action of Cali fornia's legislature was unfriendly. It denounces Governor Johnson and the California legislature for passing an anti-alien land bill at so Inopportune a time and likens the situation to two men attacking a grizzly bear with shotguns. After stating the opinion of C. T. Takashi, Seattle's most prominent Japanese merchant, that his country will content herself by taking sweet revenge on San Francisco and other California cities by turning all com merce to Puget Sound ports, the Times points out what would be pos sible in case this optimistic view should not be realized. "Let us see what could be done physically by each nation within a period of four months: "One The standing army of the. United States is supposed to repre sent 86,500 men. "Two The reserves in the United States, known as the national guard, represents 122,000 more. "Three The navy of the United States is supposed to stand next to that of Oreat Britain, but as a matter of fact, is slightly inferior to Germany and scarcely superior to that of Jap- 'an. ' "Four The Japanese standing I rmy meaning men in the field ready ito tight numbers 230,000. I "Five -The reserve army in Japan, 'better trained, perhaps than our na tional guard, numbers 970,000 men. "Six Tho United States has no' ! nit reliant marine which could be con- t : verted into transports in the case of war. "Seven Japan has more than 220 ' iM'Tchant marine vessels at the com- m.md of the mikado, each capable of 'carryimr from ,",0O0 to 10,000 across tho Pacific. "In case of war Japan would have !no trouble In landing 100. 000 men i in sixty days upon the Pacific coast, j "Could they not even land 200, jUOO if they chocs, and back them up iwith the present entire navy within ' 90 days? j "With all the trans-continental road Uncle Sam ought to be able to ;send his army of S6,."00 to Los An igrles, San Francisco, -'eutle and la jcoma within 90 days but when Be shall have done that he will have j landed all the trained troops he has. "It would take Uncle Sam six weeks at the best to bring nch of his fleet as could be spared around Cape Horn, and when It arrived, It would be Inferior to the fleet of Jap an. But In the meantime Japan woulj have fully one month in which to forage our territory. This Is a very homely picture, but the colors with which it Ib painted are absolute a wagon mm ly genuine and no sophistry nor jingo oratory cun wink them out of sight. "If Japan is ever to have war with the United States with any expecta tion of success, she has got to have It I before the Panama canal be opened, j Therefore, if the jingo party in Japan ; succeeds in controlling the govern ment, they will take advantage of their opponents. I "In case of war Japanese battle ships would take over the Philippines in 30 days, and another squadron , would capture the Sandwich Islands In the same period. By the time this :has been accomplished Japan would be ready to say to Uncle Sam: 'Give us these islands, which contain an area equal to our own, and we will .accepts the insults of California and agree to bring home every Japanese .located upon the Pacific slope. I "Japan wants territory and wants it badly. In view of such a situation, the action of California is similar to jtwo men attacking a grizzly bear with shot guns when nothing but the high jest powered rifles could kill the bear." OKLAHOMA OIL AY ELLS FIKK1) HY LIGHTNING. TULPA. Okla., May 12. Five per sons, possibly more, were killed today by a great electrical and wind storm which swept the Tulsa oil district. Many oil tanks and wells were set on fire and a number of power plants were badly damaged. Health u Factor In Success. The largest factor contributing to a man's success Is undoubtedly health. It has been observed that a man is seldom sick when his bowels are regular he Is never well when they are constipated. For constipa tion you will find nothing quite so good as Chamberlain's Tablets. They not only move the bowels but Im prove the appetite and strengthen the digestion. They are sold by all dealers. AHFltDEEX VOTES ON HONPS. ABERDEEN. Wash., May 13.
