gation of the lynehiiiR of n ncjrro
caught in tho bedroom of the daugh
ter of John Wnde, n white farmer,
living near here, is being conducted
by the authorities todny. The girl
entered her room nnd, hearing the
negro, screamed. The black became
frightened. Ho tried to escape, but
ihe girl's cries brought help nnd the
negro crawled under the bed. lie
was dragged uUt nnd taken from
the house. JiWSUfew minutes a crowd
gathered and "the negro was quickly
strung up to a tree.
The lynching ha? created consid
erable excitement, recalling the mur
der of Anna Pelly at Cairo nnd the
lynching of Will James, the negro ac
cused of the crime. Race feeling has
been aroused
ALEXIS, Ala., Amr. 1. Bill Wal
ker, a negro, was shot to death nnd
his body burned todny by a mob tli.it

fatally wounded Mrs. Nettie Gibson,

Mrs. Gibson was tho wifo of the
superintendent of the fnrm on which

from the houso by telling her that u
neighbor bad died.
Walker led the way toward the
place where ho said the neighbor
lived. A short distnncc from tho
house he sprang on Mrs. Gibson. She
fought desperately, but the negro
stabbed her with a knife. Her little
brother hoard the erics and ran to
help her. The negro drew a razor
and slashed the lad.
Walker left the womnn dying nnd
tho boy severely wounded nud went

ored. He opened the window nnd
fired nt Brown, severely wounding

leave the house and accompany him
and fled toward a swamp.
A mob gathered, when the story of
the attack became known nnd fol
lowed Walker. He was found today
hiding in the Mvatnp. Tho Brown

Took Crowd; to Idatarod.
SEWARD, Alaska. Aug. 1. The
steamer A. G. Lindsny, Captain J.
C. Downing, long overdue from
Bethel, is safe in port here en route
to Sehttle. The Lindsay left Bethel
July 1G. On her trip up she carried
a big party from Seattle for the
Idatarod.
R. Stinnett, a resident of Mcdford,
claims with reason tho distinction of
being the original baseball fan of Or
egon. Ho organized in 1830 tho first
baseball team in Oregon, at Corvnl
Hs. "In those days," he said, ''we
whittled our own bats from native
wood nnd at first played with a rub
ber ball. No, it wasn't 'town ball'
we played, but the original game of
baseball. If you over caught a rub
ber ball barehanded when it was
coining swift you know how they
sting. We discarded tho rubber ball
nnd made n vnrn ball with a chunk
of rubber in the center and then
covered it with buckskin. The first
effort was a little crude, but we soon
learned the trick. That ball was the
most valuable piece of property be
longing to the club. If in playing in
open fields, as wo did in those days,
the ball was 'lost, the game was
called until the players, spectators
and even the umpire had searched
until they found it. There were uo
raits, no mnsks, no breast-protectors
in those days. We went out bare
handed in shirt sleeves nnd overalls
and took them us they came. I
hnven't missed a ball game in any
plnce where I have lived for all this
time, and I don't intend to mUs one
us long as I am able to get to them.
The game lias changed since my
plnying days, but the basic principles
are still the same, and it renews my
youth to see the voungsters working
on the field."
Lading of steel liua progressed
rapidly on the Pacific & Eastern
during tho past few days, and the
road is now completed to a point 20
miles from this city. Bridge build
ing is now under way nnd track
laying will be reeomnioiicod as soon
as the timbers are in place.
Nearly all of the steel needed to
complete tho road to Butto Falls hits
been delivered. There will be ito
letup in the work and within six
weeks tho road to Butte Falls should
be completed.

ANNOUNCEMENT
OF COLD BLOODED FACTS
First. We live in the Rogue River Valley. Second. We are direct factory-to-homo distrubntoi-s
for the world's best pranos and player piano? at t'ne least possible exponsc,and can give you more for
your money than any dealer on the face of the eart barring none.
Listen to me, piano buyers. We don't ship ou r pianos in trainload lots, but we do actually ship car
load lots and this alone enables us to get the lowes t possible freight rates given to any living institution
in the piano business. To back up this statement, v o refer you to the railroad company, who will tell you
that we are absolutely correct. We don't handle fifty-five different makes of the world's leading pianos
and we have $500 in gold coin that says that you can't walk into any piano house on the Pacific coast and
find fifty-five different makes of the world's best pianos on their floors. If you can, this is easy money
the ones that claim this to be true.
Flayer Pianos
The Appollo
Now, hear me, piano buyers ! I want to appeal to
your common sense and better judgment. If a dealer
will lie to you when the truth would serve better about
the amount of goods they are handling, why won't this
same statement apply to the quality of the goods they
are ottering tor sale (
We don't flood the country with certificates more
worthless than the paper they are written on calling
for from $300.00 to $125.00, good to apply on any piano
we handle. Now to show you that these certificates
are more than worthless to you, take one of them to
the dealer who puts them out and demand that he give
you a poor little talking machine, say, worth $10.00, and
see how quick you will get turned down. Then isn't
this proof that our statements are true.
How does this appeal to you? "We buy our goods
as cheap as any concern doing business. We have no
rents to pay. We have no salaries to pay. We have
no big hotel bills to pay for our traveling men. We
have no dray bills to pay, for we have our own deliv
ering outfit and Ave will do more for your money when
it comes to piano quality than'any dealer possibly can
and this we guarantee to do. Doesn't it appeal to you
that we can save you money on that piano. Why, over
two thousand customers in the Rogue River Valley
alone will gladly testify to this fact. What stronger
proof could you demand than this?
Since Ave opened our wholesale Avare rooms on Oak
dale Avenue and Tenth Street Ave have sold more
pianos than all the other dealers put together from
Eugene south to the California line. Every time you
fail to investigate the pianos sold by ITalo's Piano
House ,Avou jiiht fail to retain $100.00 in your bank ac
count. We carry more pianos in stock to select from
than all oth v dealers put together, ft makes it a

McPhail, another one of Boston's fine pianos; more
than 110,000 alone in its home town.
Laff argue, tho finest piano that has ever been built
for the money, and all the large dealers declare that
it is the finest agency of them all.
We all know the glorious old reliable Sterling
piano that has been manufactured since 18(5(5.
Huntington, the only piano of medium price that
