IT'S lies-all lies, what they say about
me claiming up Eva for seventeen days.
and never said my son went away into
Maryland and that he would rather set
drunk every day than help take care of

evening on n warrant sworn out by Ser
geant Andersen, charging her with NAL
treating the child.
When seen in the station house last
evening Mrs. Perkins at first refused TO
say anything about the affair, but little

A piano forte recital by pupils oil
Miss Ethel Carolyn Palmer was
given on Saturday evening at the par
lors of Bethany Presbyterian churcn
and was attended by parents ana
friends TO the number OF about q
hundred. The program WAS among
the most enjoyable of its charatef
ever given in Grants Pass, the WorK
of the pupils showing a marked I'M
provement over previous ereditaole
and enjoyable recitals given In past
months.
Some of Miss Pslmer's pupils are
quite Young and the facility with
which they handled their selections
was pleasing in the extreme. Inc
elder pupils displayed a musical
ability commensurate with their more
extended training and every number
OF the program was received with
enjoyment and applause.
In addition to the selections given
BY the pupils, two duos from Bee
thoven we're gwen by Miss Palmer and
e. S. VanDyke and we're most ap-
precistively received. In response to
an urgent call from the audience
Miss Palmer was induced to give an
additional enjoyable selection at the
close of the program.
The following pupils took part in
the program Mae Nipper, EN- ma
Fetsch, louise Fetsch, Clara Woke,
Alma Woke, Cora Fetzner, Bessie
Davis, Hazel DePuy, Bernice Fallin,
Alma Harvey, Grace Weidenmiller

The work Of the pupils was d
creditable demonstration both Of
their talent and the ability of Mist
Palmer as an instructor.
1t was not alone in the mechanical
execution OF the music that the play
ing of the pupils appeared to advan
tage, but also in the more artistic de
tails OF expression and Interpretation
Of which every numb Der gave evidence
of the thorough and judioious in

The confession of Judge Tanner,
Senator Mitchell's law partner. IN
regard to the land frauds, puts the
senator in worse Light than hither-
to. The Oregon Legislature, which
last week passed Il resolution express
ing confidence In Senator Mitchell
seems by the utterancea Of Its M u
bers to have repented that action and
the expression is quite general among
the Legislators that the senator
should resign. This, however. Mr.
Mitchell has decidedly refused 10 do
He stands pat in his first declaration
Of innocence and says he will face his
acousers In court. Tanners confos-
sion has been the signal Tor the dor
mant political enemies Of Mitchell
to arouse to activity and attack him
venomously In the hour OF his ap-
parent decline. But the giant IL not
yet pulled down. Though the con
fession Of Tanner makes worse case
for Mitchell than has appeared hither-
TO, there is yet nothing in IL TO show
conclusively that the senator is guilty
and II is possible that he may not be
convicted in the trial But VIII ther
found guilty or innocent, ho Will
never again be the figure in Oregon
politics that he has been hi herto
Even II he be found guilty, he will
yet have much sympathy from the
people Of Oregon. Graft ia an evil
very common among Legislators and
public men and there are many Of
Senator Mitohells colleagues who
now look askance at him, who have
pro6tod by far worse forms OF graft
than he is accused of doing They
have not, however. been so unfortu-
nate M TO be indicted
