The Rouiades of the Past.

In the present atmosphere of musical
training it is quite certain that vocal
lists do not flourish. For one thing the
tendency of modern music is all against
that kind of composition in which sing
ers used most to delight and which pro
vided them with their principal artistic
diet. Tho roulades of day that is dead
were perfect training for the voice and
were really only objectionable when
they occupied the place of real music.
Now that different ideal is set up
these excellent exercises have almost
entirely gone out of fashion, and young
and tender voices are ruined or broken
on intellectual compositions that they
cannot grasp or interpret.
1t is VIGOROUSLY far easier to make a
silk purse out of sow's ear than to
transform a singer into a musician,
and in nine cases out of ten either the
student rebels against the training and
MARBLES his beloved nonsense to the de-
light of his amateur friends and the
most indulgent section of the public or
develops into an admirable musician
without a scrap of voice The question
of the battle between vocal and intel
lectual training is too large question
to be discussed here, but it may be
pointed out that the few artists who
manage by the help of peculiarly hap
Ply combination of circumstances to
learn the art of intelligent expression
without losing the beauty of voice that
is the gift of nature need fear no undue
competition National Review.

ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA so that it is
brought within easy reach of anyone

Medlock Captured.

The fellow whom sheriff Houser
chased many miles has been cap
tured by stage-driver, and proves
to be the notorious Hugh Medlock,
and is now safely behind prison
bars. Medlock had been followed
as far as Ochoco river, Crook coun-
ty. AS soon as the officers turned
back, he also took the return trail
and was hiding in the vicinity of
Ukiah. The pursuit of Medlock
has been one of the longest on
record. He was raised near Milton
and has traced and retraced the
mountain trails of Eastern Oregon
until they are familiar paths to
him. Numerous charges have
been lodged against him in several
counties of the state and it seems
probable that he may have some
trouble in clearing up the atmos-
phere of suspicion now surround
ing him.

grain beside the road. Mr.. Will
ably says that some have become
scared and misrepresented the con-
dition Of the wheat crop, which, as
far as bis knowledge goes, has not
received any damage and does not
yet need any more moisture than
is now in the soil. In some places
there is too much water in the soil
and it makes plowing difficult.

Of blowing them under, the entire

aby's opinion, is all right and will

OREGON Cry, April 22nd, 1896
The detail of the shocking acci-
dent at Butterville Saturday after
noon, by which a son Of r. X. Mat
thieu lost his life, are reported
here today. Mr.. Tom P. Randall,
of this city. attended the funeral Of
Miss Hattie Rose Oimette, a grand
daughter of Mr.. Matthew, last Fri
day, and as Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew
we're both confined to their bed by
the grip, he remained over Satur-
day to render such service as he
could to the family, In the after
noon Mr.. Randall and Wilford
Robert Lee Matthew took guns and
went out to get pheasant to tempt
the appetite of the aged invalids.
They heard China cock crow, and
tried to get within shooting dis
tance of the bird. In crossing a
fence, young Matthew, stood on
the top of the structure to get a
better view into the field, holding
his gun with the muzzle upwards.
AS he was looking for the pheas-
ant his grip on the gun slackened,
and the weapon slipped through
his hands, the hammer striking a
rail below and both barrels being
discharged. The shot ranged up
wards through the abdomen Of the
young man, who jumped to the
ground exclaiming:
ooh, Tom, Pve shot myself"
In an hour and quarter he was
a corpse.
The victim Of the accident was
able to explain how it happened
before be died.
/ Wilford Robert Lee Matthew
was "a years old on the 9th Of last
August. His father is the we'll.
known pioneer Of the Willamette
valley. The funeral took place
Saturday, and it was probably the
largest ever held at Butterville
The young man had many amiable
and sturdy qualities, and was high
4 ly esteemed by all his acquaintan,
ces. This was the second funeral
lin the family on two consecutive
days, and there is unstinted sym
pathy with the afflicted. Miss

pliahed and popular young lady

Parties Having Potatoes to Sell Mus
Sort Them.
The following from the Weston
Leader, should be a gentle remind
to Athena farmers who have pota-
toes to sell:
Last week an eastern buyer vis-
tied the warehouse of Hamilton &
Rourke to inspect the large number
of potatoes lately purchased by that
firm from Weston farmers. There
was a considerable amount of the
''murphys' which he deemed too
small and insignificant to meet
with favor in the Kansas market
and he refused to accept them, de-
manding that the whole outfit be
sorted, which was done. This re-
suited in a loss to Hamilton &
Rourke is about $50 sacks out of
1000, and thereafter all farmers
bringing in potatoes were obliged
to sort them themselves before
they were accepted by the agent of
this firm, resulting in a loss of
about one-fourth. It appears that
our potatoes must be uniformly ct
good size and quality or they will
not command ready sale in East
ern markets, where they must COM
pete with sorted potatoes from Cali
fornia, Colorado, Utah and other
states. Evidently farmers here
must recognize this fact and learn
to pocket their loss with resigna-
ton, as they have learned to stand
other misfortunes. 1t will be the
best plan anyway to ship only our
best potatoes if we wish to esta b.
lish reputation abroad for our
product. The finest kind Of pota-
toes are grown here, but Of course
there is bound to be some small
ones, and these cannot be smuggled
in with the big ones for shipm enI
without giving eur country as
black eye.n

d. G. O'Reilly, assistant general

Borie, says the East Oregonian.
Mr.. O'Reilly was asked for partic-
ulars of the new O, r. & N. steam
ship line to be operated between
Portland and Hong Kong. From
him it was learned that the Chit
tagony has been chartered and
sails from Hong Kong on May 18th
or sooner. This ship was an in
dependent cruiser and is not to be
regular one Of the new line.
Those which will take the regular
runs are now en- route from Lon
don laden with Pacific coast freight.
The line will be inaugurated with
two steamers, one sailing each
month, but evidently there will be
two each month each way going
and arriving at Portland.
