The Gilbert and Sullivan burles-
que operetta, H. ~ S. Pinafore"
was last night repeated at the Grants
Pass opera house before a large sized
audience. The performance, as on
Tuesday night, was under the aus
pices of Professor Turner's high
school, and under the direction of
Martin e. Robinson. Last nights
performance was bgter. II possible.
than on the opening night. All the
old favorites appeared in the cast.
Miss Mildred 0htrchill added to
her elocutionary ah& lyric laurels BY
her rendition of the part OF "Hebe."
cousin to ''Sir Joseph" Her make
up was again a marvel. This charm
ing girl-still in her 'teens-played
with convincing authority the role
OF 60-year old spinster, not hesi-
tating to becloud her physical era 'es
for the demands OF the role.
The chorus of 30 girls and IL
young men, again met every vocal
and Terpischorean demand. We
would like to specify four or Ave Of
the girls of the chorus for especial
mention, but our courage falls us.
Professor Applehoff's almost incom-
parable orchestra was at It's best dur
ing both performances.
The combined attendance on tho
two nights was In the nature OF re-
futation OF the belief In certain quar-
ters that Grants Pass was becoming
artistically decadent and financially
impoverished.
Among old timers here a compar-
ison Of the recent performances Of
'Pinafore" with those OF eight years
ago under the direction OF the Grants
Pass Choral Union under the leader
ship OF n. G. Kinney, Is inevitable.
The opinion of three or four persons,
we'll qualified TO Judge, with whom
we discussed the two productions, Is
that the recent revivals did not suf-
fer, unless perhaps lyrically. with
those OF March 1904.

AN AIR LINE
TO CARRY BOOZE
ingenious Methods Are Resorted to
BY Rootlessers in Eastern
Oklahoma.

Nuskogee, Okla, June 22.-Ingenu-
ity is being taxed to the limit to ship
liquor from points in Arkansas into
Eastern Oklahoma and scarcely day
passes except some new means of de-
ceiving the federal officers are devised.
Four casks Ss whiskey were cou-
tiscated last night at one of the local
stations. They were in boxes suppos-
edly being sent to wholesale firm in
this city. Since bootleggers have re-
sorted to using collins, fruit tree con-
signments and other unsuspecting ship
ments, the freight employees at the
various offices cast a suspicious eye on
everything handled.
Whenever they tell you that lots
of booze is being shipped into Mus
kogee over the railroads, they are GER
tainly off" said an employe of the
Midland Valley railroad yesterday 1T
is often fact that in the rush to get
freight shipped, little attention may be
given to the individual consignment
but before the goods are delivered
there are plenty of opportunities to
make investigations as to the contents.
Il remember on one occasion we
received a big keg of whiskey every
day consigned to a certain person, and
we were sure that the keg contained
whiskey On running bit into the
barrel we inevitably found vinegar.
Finally we took the top off of one of
the kegs and found that there We're
two kegs in one and that the keg Of
whiskey was inside.
When the next keg arrived, bunch
of officers was assigned the task Of
watching the booze os as to be able
to catch the owner. All day the depu-
ties waited and toward night they
went over to roll the barrel from the
platform into the station. They found
it empty, and hole in the platform
SHoWeu tHdI Lhe eullIS OoHISnIS ndu
been drained by the bootleggers who
had bored through the planks and
through the barrel while the deputies
> were watching.
eAll these stunts have convinced me
that bootleggers have always been
smooth, and that the next thing we
kn owaviators will be making secret
trips into Eastern Oklahoma, the dry
spot of,the world"

RECEPTION TO TEACHERS

The most pleasant affair of the So
journ of the teachers here while at
tending normal was the reception Civ
en- last night at the Methodist church
by the Epworth League. That it was
decided success was the vote of
every one present. A short but well

Mrs. Bibbs and Mr. Chas q. Hoole,
reading by Miss Leila Slough, and
talks by Prof. w. G. Masterson and
Prof Thos. w. Smith. After this, or
ders were given for all to march out
of the main auditorium into the annex
(the folding doors being closedl and
while passing through the door to take
a slip of paper that would be handed
them if they wanted to get in on the
refreshments. The slips were pictures
of some thing and was a devise to find
pardners. If it was a picture of boy

An excellent two course lunch was
served. After the evening was over a
"wet reception" was given to all when
they started home, given by nature
There were about $50 present to enjoy
the affair.

Dr. Joe Munday, who has devoted
years Of his life to special work for
the fallen, will lecture to men only
in the court house tomorrow after
noon at o'clock. 1t will be a clean
talk. Admission free.
Reformatory homes for fallen wo-
men stand in Louisville, KY. and
Nashville, Tenn, as monuments of DR..
Munday's work.
The Courier Journal, Louisville, KY.
says DR.. Munday has a national rep.
utation as a lecturer, and "a refined
gentleman of exquisite taste and
charming personality. AS an orator
and entertainer he is without an equal
on the American platform. He holds
his audience spell bound from start to
finish. At one moment he convulses
them with laughter, and with the rapid
ity of an electric flash he switches off
the side track of pathos and opens a
fountain of tears from which gushes
a crystal stream until wiped away for
another laugh"
The Chattanooga Times; "He is a
born orator. His audience of 5000
were swayed from tears to smiles and
laughter at his will"

WANTS BILLS SEPARATE.
Johnson Would Not Combine Trans.
fers and Utilities Measures.

The House District COMMITTEES will prob
ably insist upon the consideration Of the
universal transfer bill as a separate and
distinct measure from the public utilities
commission bill. Chairman johnson ex-
pressed the opinion today that in legis-
lative matters 1t was more practical.
when It was desired to have a measure
for d specific purpose adopted without
including other propositions. To add the
universal transfer proposition to the public
utilities commission bill. or the public
utilities commission bill to the transfer
measure, might endanger one or both of
them, he said.
The House District committee will meet
tomorrow morning. when it II proposed by
Mr.. johnson to lay the Olddeld public
utilities commission bill before the men,
bers and ask what disposition they wish
made OF 1t. Hearings will probably be
given on the bill II the committee de-
cidee to take 1t up. - -.

to the District are to come before the
