PROl'RIETOR AND FAMILY BARELY ESCAPE WITH LIVES Tho Wigwam, belonging. to E. Lew in, and one of Bnndon's pojiulor re sorts, was totally destroyed by fire early Sunday morning. When tho blaze was discovered it had gained such headway that Mr. Lewin and family barely escaped with their lives. Mr. Lewin does not know just how the fire started but it was first dis covered around tho kitchen flue, nnd the electric wiring. As soon as the fire was discovered the alarm was turned in, but thcrd was no water or hydrant near tho place, so nothing could be done to save it., and the en tire building, including the store, tile dance hall and Mr. Lewin's living J partments were destroyed, as well as all their stock and household goods making a total loss of over $11,000, with only $1200 insurance. Although Mr. Lewin naturally fcols his loss vcr keenly, he is not dis couraged, but expects "to rebuild and go ahead again. It seems that tho old adage of never one fire, but wc must have three, has held good in Bandon, as it has been only a littlo'ovpr two weeks since the big fire, and then a small houso burned in tho east end of town n few days later, and now comes the Wigwam .It is certainly to lie hoped that tba pro verbial Jj"Cj; will ..ufijco and that it will bo iT longTlnioTMv fore Bandon is visited with another conflagration.

Tho llcbt, -we receive from. stars oTv tho first magnitude, like Vepi, in equal approximately to a forty thousand-millionth part, of that of the sun. Jt Is cal culated that the total light received from the lesser stars Is equal to thnt of 3,000 stars of the first magnitude, or a sixth part. of that which is scut to iw from the moon. Light exercises a mechanical pressure which .can be measured hi the labora tory. It has been shown by experi ments with artificial light that in Its production' enormous quantities of en ergy aro dissipated. In an ordinary wax candle tho total energy which is transformed into light Is really but 2 per cent, (ins and kero sene lamps are not more 'economical. On tho other Innid. the glow worm transforms Into light, by means yit un known.' 00 per cent of tho total energy expended. It is known that light influences very largely the nrolna of flowers. A garden Is nioro fragrant when It Is shaded than when tho sun Is allowed to shine In full blazo upon It. This, at any rate, to tho conclusion of a Frenchman who has recently made n vast number of ex periments. That which afreets the fra grance of flowors Is not tho oxygen of1 the atmosphere, as 1ms been comhionly supposed, but tho light According to tho samo authority, tho Intensity of the perfume exhaled by n flower depends upon the pressure of water In tho cells pf tho pjnut which tends to throw out the essential oils that produce the odor, and tho actKm of t'jo solar light diminishes tho pres sure of tho wntef.

They had prepar ed a musical program, a printed copy of which was presented to each guest therendition of which on their new graphoponola grand was a treat long to bo remembered. To the strains of the Bridal Chorus tho bridal party, consisting of Emily and Allen Schetter, as bride ,and groom, accompanied by David Fceney as best ma-n, and Dorothy Belle Endi cott as maid, and Delila Endicott as flower girl, marched In stopping be fore tho improvised altar whero the ceremory was performed by Eugene Schotter. Jr. At the close of this very pretty ceremony no of the guests stepped forward and witli a few apropdato remarks presented Mr and Mrs Edmunds, in behalf of thoso present, with a very handsome cut glass bowl and a set of hand painted Haviland plates in token of their esteem and good wishes. The only reply that tho groom could make was to invito all, present to ""take something" while the bride escorted the guests to tho dining room which had been beautifully decorated for the occasion, and they nil di'd justico to the elaborate rcfreiihmentfl that had boon prepared, the favors being very appropriate souvenirs of the occa sion. Tho banquet ver all repairtd to flie parlor and listened to tho remain der of tho program, which extended into the wee sma' hiiours, when the guests departed with the best wishes for the host :ftid hostess, and that thoy may celebrate many more an niversaries in like manner Those present were: Mr and Mrs. S.

To create a farce comedy of two reels- that bubbles over with comicnl situ ations from the time the title is flash ed on tho screen is no small under taking and Mr. Sennett, the creator of "Zu Zu" deserves tho unstinted praise he has received from all over the U. S. for giving us a real alive comedy feature. Ford Sterling plays Zu Zu and puts an abundant amount of gingered animation in his part. In his gymnnstics lie outdoes the wildest efforts of the longest haired Latin that ever crossed tho ocean at the head of a royal musical organi zation. Miss Normand, as Mable, is as nimble as ever, timo and again risking a session with a bonesetter. Mr. Haggerty is Caesar, he of the striped sweater and skin tight trou sers. "Zu Zu" tho band leader will make you shed tears of joy. You may come to the show with a frown, but you will go out with a smile. At the Grand next Friday, July 3rd. 1 COQUILLE TO BE KEPT DRY ACCORDING TO REPOR'I Tomorrow is July 1st, tho dav when tho Coquille saloons must go out of business, owing to the refusal of the council to grant licenses for the coming six months, and as fivo councilmen voted dry and Councilman Leach, the only man who voted wet has handed in his resignation, it looks very dubious for the saloons. .
