CINDERELLA" PLEASES
A LARGE AUHKXCE.
'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.

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.

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."

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

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.
