William Seamon, OF Washington,
and John Robert, of Waynehurg.

This committee will start to work
this week and a preliminary meeting
will be held prior to the league meet
ing March 8 in Pittsburg.
The league decided at last Satur-
days meetingto start the Champion

was satisfactory to most Of the cluos.
but there is q probability of the
league getting started a few days
prior to this date. Uniontown and
Washington will be unable to start
with the rest, but these clubs could
catch up in the schedule later on IN
the season. By starting, say three
days before Decoration day, the clubs
would have the benefit Of the open-
ing day crowds, also the Decoraf On

This move will be presented to inc
different clubs for their sanction am
it is altogether likely they willaccaPt

Georgia Minstrels.

To those who enjoy mirth,
music and song. the coming of
Richards & Pringle's Famous
Georgia Minstrels will be hailed
with delight. This sterling Of
ganizatiou has weathered the
theatrical seas for twenty-eight
years, never changing manage
nent, and not once departing
from their established rule of pre-
senting only what is great, good
aud wholesome in the minstrel
world. Other minstrel COM
panies have come and gone, but
Richards and Pringle's go on for
ever. The secret of their success
has been the fact that the man-
agement has always firmly he
lieved that the paying public
craved a genuine colored min
strel performance when presented
on the lines that made niustrelsy
so popular years ago; their be-
lief has been proven to be the
correct one. Sweet sou shern
melodies, beautiful aud entranc-
ing music by skilled musicians,
dancing as only the negro can
dance, and witticisms told as
only the darky can tell them.
Clarence Powell, tue come
dian. who has made the whole
world laugh, is still at the head
of the list of artists, and will
bring with him this season big
budget o. good things that he has
collected during the past sum-
mer. The company travels IN

MUST NOT DEPoRT.
Women to Oregon-Order to Re-
strain Judge Frater.

No case for many ronths or
even years, has created such wide
spread discussion among all class
es of people as has the Mitchell
Crefeld case at Seattle, and the
end is not yet. Under date of
Monday, a Seattle dispatch has
the following:
Superior Judge Frater is res
trained by order of the supreme
court issued this morning from
making an order directing the
sheriff to transfer Esther Mitchell
and Maud Hurt Crefield to Ore
gon and as result free them from
the necessity of standing trial for
the murder of George Mitchell.
Judge Frater was also ordered to
appear before the supreme court
October 26 and show cause, if
iany exists, why he should not be
permanently enjoined from hav-
ing the two women accused of
murder deported and the criminal
laws of the stale set at naught.
The order preventing Judge
Frater from carrying out his ex-
pressed determination of saving
the women from trial by deporta-
ton was secured by a deputy of
Prosecuting Attorney Mackin-
tosh. The county attorney pre-
pared the necessary papers Satur-
day and his deputy left for Olym-
pia this morning. At noon Pro-
scouting Attorney Macintosh re-
ceived word that the supreme
court had come to his aid in his
attempt to prevent the murderers
from escaping trial.
The writ issued by the court
directs Judge Frater not only to
show cause why he should not be
prevented in his attempt to turn
the two murderers loose upon the
people of. the freddy state of
Oregon, but why he should not be
compelled to return the cases to
the trial docket from which he
arbitrarily struck them. Pend
ing the date of this hearing the
order issued this morning will
prevent Judge Frater from carry
ing oue41is scheme to liberate the
women.

New Wheat for Benton,

A carload of turkey red"
wheat arrived in Corvallis the
first of this week from Iowa and
will be divided among various
farmers of Southern Benton.
The shipment is an experiment
and the results will be awaited
with mnch interest by farmers
throughout the county.
Turkey red wheat~is red in
color as the name implies; it
yields much more heavily than
ordinary wheat and it is hoped a
change may result in the wheat
crops of Benton by trying some
thing new. There was 500
bushels in the carload and it was
procured by w. J. Watkins of
near Monroe. Others who had
n interest in the experiment
we're Robert Heron, Casper and
: Albert Zierolf, Arlie Meels and
