I .' 4 tfr WOODVILIE HAS MUSIC EPIDEMIC Little Town Evidently Suffers From Too Much Melody Brass Band Starts and Enterprising Firm Ships in Carload of Phonographs. ELK TO BE FIRST TO MEET TEDDY Member of Detroit Lodge, No. 34, B. P. 0. E., Will Meet Roosevolt at Gangplank and Ask Him to Attend Elks Rcuniin in Detroit. Woodvlllo la evidently suffering the tormonta of Hndcs it tho follow ing graphic account of conditions in that city la r.ny criterien: To tho Editer: Aforetime vro haTo heon very qulot, easy going. Con tented, and thoroforo happy, little municipality, seeking nolthor notori ety, ostentation nor trouble, but now we have tho trinity In a most ogra vated form. First camo along tho comet and most scared tho wits out of us, then after our nervous prostra tion was slowly subsiding, some Hy-as Mesacho TilPkum said let us havo a brass band. Moses and tho Angelsl Has it over been your misfortune to be subjected to tho dov er I mean tho dulcet notes of a brass band in its cmbryoio stage in its very in ciploncy? No. Well, don't The nerve-Jolting bquo.i1 of a B flat horn In the hands or a farmer would raise hair on a bald hair trunk. Then tho amateur who pulls and shoves a fow notes the length of your arm out of a trombone would mako a man swear In meetln', but tho most unkind cut of all Is tho villain who pushes wind Into that big cadaverous bass horn,' notes from which go down a thousand leagues under the sea. sending a chill vibration up yotr splno and cold drops of perspiration stands ?.U over you as the hideous dam-on!ac contortion of sound overwhelms and terrifies you; It's a sound halt way betweer a wall of woo and death pulling eternity out of a well. Ono redeeming feature, however, is, the band has to stop part of the time. The citizens wcro all up in arms and had decided to swear out an Injunction. Everybody seemed willing to ass!s. in the swoarlng part. Then we all decided wo would grin and bear Just a few more days and rights until our city officials could quality, when lol county court could not ratify until July! Holy smoko! The news camo like a last year's road tax. Then, O horrors! What worse calamity could befall death and de struction, crop failures and taxes. Why, Jones & Palmer have shipped In a carload of phonographs. Graves of our ancestorc! Angels and Ministers of Peace! Tho weird sisters three and King John, graves and epitaphs! With rainy eyes we writo cuss words on the bosom of tho earth. Thluk of a. carload of phono graphs and 1750 records, all in ono key, seeming all alike but different! They aro all lined up on tables, shelves, etc., witl. three energetic at tendants kecking as many cranked up as possible, and when you aro about naif a milo away you can pick out of the pan dam-onium a few songs like these, "When This Cruel War Is Over," "Mary Ann, I'll Tell Your Ma," "Home Was Never Like This," "Old Black Joe," "I'll Kill You With an Ax,' and "Hell Is Better Than This," with several hundred moro quite as appropriate as these. They work on tho samo principle as Interest and taxes and tho mouth of a river open nights. They start up at 4 a. m. and when wo retire but not to sleep at 311 p. m. that dov or infer er, I mean well, you know the rest Is still going. Well, half tho population has taken .their tents liko tho Arab and DETROIT, Mich., Juno 13. When Theodore Rootovolt arrives In Now York Sunday morning, Juno 18, It Is expected that tho first Amorlcan to extend an invitation to -him on his re turn to Amorlcan soil will bo Car- lylo Burgos3, who comes from Dotrolt lodge.

Shasta County Man Is Most Suc cessful With Hunting Leo in the Siskiyous Making Good Money SACRAMENTO, Cal., Juno 13. When a man gets to making S100 a month shooting mountain lions it looks as.thou-A tho sport ceases to be mere fun, but a business proposition. At least such is tho case with L. P. Boye3 of Henderson, Shasta county, who received 100 of good stato money tor slaying f'vo mountain lions and cashing the scalps for $20 each. The lions were killed on Camper down creek In Shasta county. The first was shot on May S, tho second on May 11. The day following tho third one was bagged, while tho fourth was broug'ht down on tho 14 th Tho last was 3laln on May 18, bring ing tho killings within such a period that Boyes could say he ran do $10 a day for ten days' shooting. Tho rest of tho month apparently was not do- voted to Hon killing. State Controller Nye drew a war rant for ?360 yesterday to meet tho expenses of eighteen lion scalps ox changed with tho California flch and gamo commission for tho beasts killed during May. Aside from tho Shasta county hunrter, there were no great klllla. Tho remnlnlnr hunt ers were widely scattered throughout tho state. A home run, the first lor the sou- sou on Mod ford grounds, another wallop that lucked but a few inches of gointr over tho fence mul four dou ble plays, together with a lot of bone head work by each toam, kept the fans cheering or swearing alternate ly Sunday. It wns a good game at that, and nobody had a cinch Colemau started by walking Ennis and tho first double occurred when Qaskins hit a fly to Henselmnn, who threw Ennis out before ho could scramble back to first.

Wilsou flow to left, Strain, Miles to Bccbe; Dun can flow to Autel. Medfonl accumulated another ace in their half of the second. With two down, Henselmnn wns safe on Smith's error, stole second and came home on Strain's single. Strain was caught trying to steal second. Jacksonville scored first in tho third. Dunford flew to Antel. Smith hit safely. Melntyre was safe on a fielder's choice. Another fielder's choice and some woodeu-hended pluy iug allowed Smith to cross the pan nnd Melntyre followed him on Gas kins' rightfield hit, which shouldn't have been a hit at nil. Jacksonville scored again in the fourth three times. Strain made a scratch hit. Duncan was safe on a fielder's choice. Dunford flew to right and Strain beat the throw home. Smith fanned. Melntyre was safo on Henselman's error nnd scored on hits by Ennis and Qaskins. Three scores, making five in nil. Medford scored in the first, second, third, fourth nnd sixth innings. It was in the fourth that Strain, with Henselmnn on first, lifted the ball over the left field fence for four bags, chasing the Pretzel over the pan in front of him. The scere: R.
