er. Grout crowds nro UstoninK witlij
nltcnlion to tho ownnons Ikmhr tU'liv
crcd by Dr. Kay I'nlmor of St. Louie.
All donomiifnUoHS aro nttaiultni; the
sorvioes, and nil uxjireas theuwetaw
ns hoiiiK lR"lv pleased with the ovnn
fjcllst, his methods ntitl mosHnfs.
Tho jjrpntofit roURroRntiou of tho
meetiiiBH filled tho churoh Inst nijlit.
The Bhipnfr by tho choir is one attrac
tive feature of the revival.
Tho pastor, Uov. Holmes, has his
finger right on the pulse of the ntoet
itips. Ho ia a. Rcaoral in tho command
of bis forces, and he seems to stiiritl
right back of the evangelist in his
work. Last night there were heart v
aniens as Dr. I'nlmor scored point
after point against the hnuor traffic
and other great sooial'cvils.
Palmer said last night that he was
not hero io abuse saloonkeepers he
hnd long since censed to do that. lit
declared that tho nloons of Medford
were hero by tho suffrage of the poo
pie. l!o raised his voice to a thrill
ing key nnd, cniphnsir.ing his word
with a stanijl of the foot, exclaimed :
"Hear me, my brother; if all the pas
tors nnd churches of Medford would
get together, every saloon would le
closed tomorrow morning!" (Loud
mucus over the congregation.)
"Yes," cried the preacher, "when
the church crowd of Medford stand
before tho judgment throne, tho blood
of lost fio'uls will be on their gar
ments because they permitted the le
galicd saloon in this beatiful city.
God help tho preachers and the
churches to get together and drive
tho curse from Medford," said the
evangelist. "Yes," said tho speaker,
"and hen convert the saloonkeepers
and bartenders and make them into
Baptist deacons, Presbyterian elders
and Methodist stewards. God knows
some of hese fellows would, wlwn
born again, beat some of the dead
heads you now have as church officers."
Dr. Palmer told the story of the
conversion of John Redding, a 1'rtw
bj'tcrian evangelist. John w'ns onee a
drunken tramp. He went to see hh
old mother back east. Early in the
morning he started to the saloon. lie
hnd to pass throu;h his mother's
room. She -was awake. "Awake,
mother?" said John. "Are yon HI.
mother?" "Ah, worse than ill, my
boy," replied the mother. "My henii
is broken. I am going to die in a
few days. Oh, John, I have been
awako all night thinking of you
thinking of when you were a sweet,
pure baby in my anus. Oh, I thought
then my boy can never grow up to be
wicked, but, John, for many years
yon liavc been n drunkard arid a
gambler. I have heard you curse
Christ, iny Savior. Oh, John, prom
ise you will bo a Christian." John
stid, "Mother, I'll try."
"Com eaud kneel by my bed, John,
and let me pray for yon," said the
mother. John knelt there; her hands
were on his head. "Suoh a prayer,"
said John, "ae I never heard before
in my life avy mother put up to God
for me." John left tho room, went
to the saloon, got drunk again. His
mother died in n few days. He was
so drunk nt the funeral his friends
had to hold him up. Soon hU wife
left him nnd for two years he beenme
n tramp. He returned home, his wife
met him at the door. "Oh, John,"
she qricd, throwing her arms around
his neck, "thank God yon have come
bnok. If you w ilolnly be n Chris
tian I shall be your wife ngnin. Got
on your kudos nnd lot us pray," said
Snllie. John knelt. Tho broken
hearted wifo prayed mightily to God
to save her husband. Thou she said,
"Now, John, you pray." He said
from tho doptlm of his despair: "Oh,
God, have mercy on mo, an old bloke!"
God heard and answered the prnyor.
John was snved. Ho bouaino a preach
er. For more tluin twenty years John
Itcdding preached tho gospel of Jesus
Christ.
At tho oloso of tho sermon ninny
cnino forward. Rev. Holmes, Hie pas
tor, said to tho evangelist: "Why, I
wilt converted under tho preaching
of John Redding, and ho afterward
helped me in two revivals." It was a
striking coincidence.
Dr. Palmer will preach tonight on
"Tho Crown of Gold," one of the
evangelist's bobt. You cant' afford
to miss it.

said. Immediately afterward she no
tified others in th hoe and hurry
calls wore sent to three phyMoinnv
all of whom responded at once. Kx
treme measures wore taken and Mr-.
Harrison's life was saved.
Mrs. Harrison bought a bottle of
the tablets at a drug store. Tin
bottle contained 100 of the tablet-, a
single one of which v .sufficient to
cause speedy death. The doctors at
First doubted whether she hnd utu
nlly taken one of them, but the tab
lets were counted and, 0s only iiinctv
nine remained, doubts on this s-n-re
were removed.
The woman has two small children
and was divorced from her husband
not long ago. It is said that domestic
troubles prompted her attempt to end
her life.
Xb sooner had Mrs. Harri-on tak1"'
the tablet than she became gre.it'
excited nnd went into hysteric-.
After the physician had worked oer
her for n time, however, she recov
ered and was taken Io the hospit.il
to receive proper care and prevent a
po-Mule second attempt. f

IRRIGATION is the science of giving a plnntf j"st ns inlu'h moisture nB i;
needs, and just exactly when it needs it. '
IRRIGATION has added more wealth to the country in the last ten years than
any three of the largest resources combined. Thousands of acres of worthless
land have been reclaimed and some of this land has sold for tho highest prices
ever paid for horticultural or agricultural land.
IRRIGATION will reclaim "the desert," G500 acres will he developed into a
vast orchard district. "The desert" when irrigated will prove to ho tho
best orchard land in tho Rogue River Valley.
IRRIGATION will make the Rogue River Valley famous for its berries. Tho
largest yields in the next few years will come from "tho desert."
IRRIGATION will add thousands of acres to the producing area of the Roguo
River Valley, and in these new districts there will be no crop failure, for irriga
tion is a guarantee of bountiful yields, and is real crop iusurancc for tho
grower.
IRRIGATION in the Willamette Valley has increased production from sixty
to three hundred per cent. It will do the sumo in tho Rogue River Valley.
IRRIGATION will doiiblo tho population of Medford and the Roguo River
Valley in the next few years. New homes will he established. Orchards will
be planted on lands that have never boon productive. "The desert" will bo
redeemed and a thousand families will bo adtjod through this development.
