Mnrshfield . won 'the championship by, defeating North JJcnd 41 to, 11 at North Pond, Friday evening. Previous to tho meeting Coach Quigley was asked to withdraw his protest but refused. Owing to ac cident to tho Charm Mr. Quigley .did not reach Coquille Saturday morning until nftor most of the business of the assoccation had been transacted tho protest having been decided. In defense of their action the other mem bers of the nssocationstntcd that as Marshfield held tho championship without dispute, that Ihcy could not nee that it made a great dcul of dif ference how the contest was decided. Owing to the great rush on the part of the bay delegates, very little was accomplished at Saturday's meeting outside of milking, final arrangements.! for tho oratorical cotcst to be held at North Bend. No definite date was set for tho annual track .and field meet which will be held in Marshfield du ring the latter part of May. Two weeks before tho county meet, when ever thut will be, Bandon, Coquillc and Myrtle Point-will hold a triangu lar meet at Myrtle Point! Baseball in the high school is not yet assured, for up to the present time only Bandon and Coquillc in the interscholnstic league and tho River ton nine have signified their intention of playing. Coquille has no grounds upon which to practice or piny games but will bring a team down to play Bnudon on the local diamond, Bandon is in little better shape for tho ball grounds hero will not be in condition for somo time .to come. . The action of the association 'in de ciding tho contested game puts Marsh field in tho load, Myrtle Point second, Bundon and Coquille tied for third placo and North Bend in the cellar. Wont Wait For Court Decision The Puget Sound Bridge and dredg ing company will begin work on the Coquillc river without waiting for the supreme court decision as regards the legality of tho Port.

STREUBER AT PROSPER Mrs. Stella Streubor, wife of Louis Streubcr of Prosper died early Mon day morning of quick consumption. She was 27 years of age, having been born January lst1888. She was a daughter of Win, Hansen, one of the old settlors of this vicinity. She has a sister, Alia Hansen, attending the Bandon high school,. Her husband was recently injured in a logging camp and is not yet recovered from his injuries. Funeral services were held at Prosper this forenoon with Rev. Hnbberly ofllciatlng.

CHEMIST SAYS AR SENIC KILLED RUSSELL Examines Stomach and Tissues and Finds Evidence of Use of Poison Chemist E. P. W. Harding of Port and, who is a graduate in pharmacy at O. A. C. and for five years since his graduation has been an instructor there in pharmacy, toncology and pharmaceutical analysis, analyzed the part of tho stomach and intestines of Arthur Russell, deceased of Myr tle Point This is the man on the charge of poisoning whom, Mr. and Mrs..Clnrence Russell are now held in the jail at Coquille. The chemist examined the mater ial for volatile poisons, alkaloids and mctafic poisoning. No truco of any poisonous material -was foutuL except arsenic. Tho amount of arsenic re covered was small. The amount of ma terial given to them to examine under the tests of tho chemist was small and consequently no Inrge amount of pois on could be expected to be found. In the earth examined (which came from beside the grave) an extremely minute arsenic mirror was found. "From present indications," says Prof, Harding, "I should judge the person must have been given at least one half gram but until I have ex amined tho bones I could not make it more definite. I will be ublo to make :i more definite statement after cx aininig them." He further testified that judging from tho quantity of arsenic recovered from the tissues exnmined, poisoning' by arsenic probably" caused the death of tho person from whom tho tissues were taken. Russell Secures Bonds S. F. Reed and Mr. Warner of Myr tle Point, gave n bond of $!!,000 for Clarence Russell, under charge of poisoning his brother but bonds have not yet been secured for Mrs. Russell. Attorneys for the defense clnim to" have discovered new evidence that will secure' the immediate releaso of the Russells and have asked for a postponmcnt of the hearing tha't was set for March 22nd. A Good Fair A letter to the Recorder from a vis itor nt the San Francisco fair says that the fair is much better than they had expected but that there was the usual amount of graft. Roy Miller, supt. for the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging company was in Bnndon Monday going aver the shore work with the foreman, Ole Haarbarg. They report finding nat ural accomodation for all material to be removed from tho river. There will therefore be no expense for bulkheads There wns quite n mosquito licet anchored along the Bundon water front Sunday.

MUSICAL PROGRAM PLEASES PEOPLE Annual Recital of Mrs. Geo. Geisendorfer Greeted by Large Attendance. Special Attractions Make Good Impression Three hours of music was what Mrs. Goo. Geisendorfer treated her i. Hi's ts to at hef annual recital held held last Friday evening at the Or plieum. Three hours is quite a while for the average person to sit and lis- tenten to piano music but the pro gram had been well prepared, the pu pils exhibited themselves and their ac complishments to good effect and the evening passed off very pleasantly. Five hundred invitations had been sent out and there was a generous res ponse. The Orpheuni was filled with a ropresetative audience, every seat having an occupant from tho orches tra seats in front to the rear of the hall. The program consisted of "piano music, enlivened with some special features to spice the evening's offer ing. The latter consisted of vocal se lections by a double quartette con sisting of Harold Quigley, Ralph Dip- pel, Ernest Sidwell, Rev. C. Mayne Knight, H. E. Boak, Roy Corson, Ray Watkins and E. D. Webb. They ap peared in a song entitled "Until the Dawn" and as an encore they respond ed with "A Plainsman's Song." The call from the enthusiastic audience was -insistent but they refused to re spond with n third selection. Mr. Wolfram Schmcdding, recent ly from Germany, a flute soloist of un usual talents, appeared in two places on the program, and both times was pleased to respond to encores. He pre sented "La Traviata, Concert Waltz" winch set involuntary fee to beating time all through the audience, and "Introduction theme with Variations; Home Sweet Home" which brought to many an auditor a flood of half for gotten memories. Mrs. Geisendorfer also appeared to very good advantage; twice as the ac companist to Mr. Schmcdding and once, in a very difficult piece, played with the left hand, "Finule de Lucia di Lammermoor" by Letchetizky and her presentation was wurmly applaud ed. All of the young pupils of Mrs. Geisendorfer acquitted themselves very nicely and each was given a gen erous measure of applause. The cheerful fnco of Master Wesley Phen ninger, won. approbation as he appear ed for his turn at the piano and he fur ther distinguished himself by leaving his music behind ns he passed behind the curtains. Errol McNaip also got tired of waiting for his compapion in a duet which followed the solo he Jiimself presented and went out to fetch him, both being diversions in the regular program that were appre ciated by the audience.

Randolph to Have Two Teachers After This Week County Superintendent Raymond Baker is in Bandon todny conducting a ono day teachers' institute for the benefit of Bandon pedagogues. The session is at the high school building and Mr. Baker is assisted in the work by Dr.(H. E. Sheldon of the state uni versity extension department. Dr. Sheldon will also address the Palroii Tcacher association in the high school auditorium this evening on tho tiub ject of "Education and Children in the Modern English Novel." In addition to Messrs. Baker and Sheldon, Supervisor Golden was in attendance. Teachers from near by districts were present to profit by the discussion. This is the first of a ser ies of one day intitutes to be held in Coos county. One will be held in Co- quile Wednesdny, at Myrtle Point Thursday and nt Marshfield Friday. Speaking of his work through the county, Superintendent Baker says an important part is occupied by the proposed consolidation of several ru ral school districts. Catchings and South Inlet are nearly ripe for this change and consolidation will bo put in effect there in n very short time. Each of these consolidated districts will have about one hundred students enrolled, now divided among three dis tricts each. Consolidation will enable the 6is tricts to maintain two or more teach ers and to put into practical work the graded school system, systematizing ancyitaiidarnizing the scheme for giv ing children an education. In a larg er school the competition with others. will allure the child on to take more interest and learn faster. The school at Randolph, visited by Supt. Baker, yesterday, has boon try ing on eight grades and one year of high school work with only one teach er. Tho teacher was willing and capa ble but found the task too great and a second teacher will bo added to the force in this district next Monday. An Editor's Outing Editor Young and familyof tho Co quille Vnlloy Sentinel were among the visitors from the county scat who spent Sunday on Bandon's famous beach. Although juvenile in name, Mr. Young is elderly, hns served his time in all the phases of the printing and publishing game just as his life has extended from his birthplace by the Atlnntic to his present abode near the Pacific. Mr. Young may be reck oned one of tho sages of the Coos county press. He prints an ext v good paper and here'3 hoping ho may con tinue to publish it for many year. to come. C. II. Gram, state factory inspector of factories, from Portland, was in town yesterday and today and all of the factories of Bandon were lined up in a row to have their pulse beats ex amined. Mrs. A. D. Morse received a tele gram yesterday announcing the seri ous illness of her dughtcr, Miss Mild red Morse, nt Los Angeles, Cal. Miss Mildred has hosts of friends in Ban don who will be sorry to learn of her illness and will hope for her speedy . recovery. R. L.

A procession more than half a mile long, composed of friends and lodge members from all over Coos county escorted tho body from tho Methodist church, South, to the Masonic cemetery. Reverend Clevcs preached the ser mon at the church. The Coquille Blue Lodge of Masons had charge of the services at tho grave.. These ser vices were under the direction of L. A. Liljeqvist. Forty members of the Pa cific comniandory, Knights Templur, in full regalia acted as escort. A profusion of flowers nd wreaths were in evidence both at church and at tho grave. A special train carried people from Marshfield to and from Coquillo to attend the services. WAITING FOR THE TURN OF THE TIDE Incidents Relative to Enforced Wait in Getting Out to Sea Any one who took a stroll up and down the water front during the past few days would have been justified in imagining that Bandon was, con sidering the times, an inuisually busy spot. Three ocean going boats were lying beside the dock with the usual run of smaller boats. Tho surmise would have been in purt justified for all of the boats were loaded with local products and were only waiting favor able condition to get, out to sea. Owing to a combination of circumstances they were four days waiting for a chance to get over tho bar. Tho tides, during 'tlie'present week, are unusually low and the water at the mouth of the river was so rough the boats were not able to take advantage of what water there was. Twice cacli twentyfour hours the tug Klihyam would make a trip of inspection, take soundings nnd return with the cheerful intelligence that for another twelve hours' nt least there was "nothing doing". Eurly this morning a fog, cRtne drifting in from the ocean, nnd the breakers subsided. After the tug had duly mndo tho inspection the Eliza beth and the Brooklyn were in turn towed to sea. The Speedwell still waits and tho weather wiso says she may have to stay until the end of the week when the almanack promises better-things in the way of higher wa ter. "Yes, its bad, this waiting around", said an officer of the Brooklyn, "But, at that its not so bad as loading by a cable from the shore. Believe, me, I've seen them cables break. I saw one of them break with a load of a couple dozen ties. Two of the ties floated and wo got them ugain. Red wood, you know. Some of that red wood is so light you can pack a tie under each arm and walk right off with it. Then again somo of it weighs like railroad iron. "Yes, its tough on the passengers, wuiting around, too. But believe me its cheaper to wait hero than in Fris co and more pleasant than out nt sea. Wait 'till they get down ''below nnd get to paying everything thut is usked of them. They'll wish they were back in Oregon.' ' From which, we take it, there is consolation to bo found in anything, even in being bar-bound. Cottage Prayer MeelingH There will be cottage prayer meet ings Wednesday at 8 p. in. nt tho fol lowing places, lead by the leaders ap pointed for that purpose, F. E.

The entertainment will be held in tho auditorium of the high school and an admission fee of 25 cts will be charged. There should be a large attendance that the fund for the debating team may be swelled to as big a figure as possible. Exchange of Exclusions. Tho steamer Coquillc brought up u load of excursionists Sunday to spend the day on the beach. They were fu vored with one of those balmy days that Coos county knows so well how to produce when she sets about it. and they had an enjoynble time On tho Miy down the river they pnssed tho steamer Dispatch with a party of Bandon people on their way to Co piiHe to attend the funeral of Alfred Johnson. Thus honors were even in the matter of exchanging visits, and the earth was steadied in its orbit, being prevented from becoming over balanced nnd tipping to one side through the shifting of population. The Speedwell, the Elizabeth and the Brooklyn are all undergoing- a spring overhauling in the Bnndon harbor. Each has received a fresh coat of white paint and all have been waiting for a favorable tide to clear for San Francisco The Ahwaneda came- in Sunday from Astoria with a cargo of flour nnd feed for tho Bandon Warehouse.
