ADJUSTMENTS

One OF the most important offer
ings of the current season at the
Grants Pass opera house is the first
presentation here of Neil Twomey's S
delightful dramatization of Gene
Stratton-Porter's charming story
"Freckles," which is announced for
Saturday, April 26.
The fact that there have been more
readers of this story than any other
book published in decade fair es-
innate is three millions makes the
dramatization of the utmost import
ance to the dramatic world
"Freckles" as a drama is stronger
than "Freckles' as a story. The char
acters live, love and have adventure
one can see and hear, there is moth
ing left to the imagination d. l..
Martin, under whose management
the present tour is conducted, has
made the production of "FTeckles"
exceedingly elaborate and has assem-
bled a company of unusual excellence
for the presentation of this charming
musical comedy-drama.
The music for the play and the
songs rendered by "Freckles" are by
the Viennese composer. Anatol Fried
land, and are a novelty from a musi-
cal point OF view. The Woodland
Fantasy played during the play is a
masterpiece.
The performance begins at p. m.

Interesting Facts Regarding the Lab.
oratory of the Chamberlain Medi-
cine Co., Des Moines, Iowa.

A person purchasing bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has no
conception OF the magnitude of the
laboratory where this medicine is
manufactured. The machinery and
apparatus used in its preparation was
designed especially for the purpose
and cost several thousand dollars.
Europe, South America and the Unit
ed States supply the various ingredi-
ents of this remedy, and only the
highest obtainable quality is used.
No pains or expense has been spared
in making it as nearly perfect as pos
sible.
A force OF helpers representing
homes enough to populate an average
Iowa town are regularly employed at
the plant of the Chamberlain Medi-
cine Company at Des Moines, Iowa.
Their printing department, which is
usually overlooked in calculating the
expense of business of this kind,
ranks as one of the best in the state,
and is thoroughly equipped with au-
tomato presses and folders of the
latest improved type. Here enough
print paper Is used in one year to
spread over ten farms of 100 acres
each, upon which is printed advertis-
ing matter, directions and labels in
twenty-eight different languages and
dialects Enough lumber is used in
making the cases in which the medi-
cines are shipped to build an eight
room house on each OF these ten
farms every three mouths The bot
ties used by this firm every year,
which are filed by machinery at the
rate of 1000 per hou If placed end
to end would reach across the United
States seven times or almost encircle
the globe.

The home of Miss Echo Gadds on
her homestead in the Illinois valley
was entered by burglars on the morn
ing OF April A. while she was gone
to a neighbor's for short time The
thieves evidently watched until they
saw her 90 away and then broke the
lock. They were in great haste and
turned everything tOpsy turvy in their
search for plunder They secured a
number of valuable articles, among
them being a gold watch and chain.
some other jewelry, all the groceries
in sight and a number OF other
things AS the roads were muddy
their tracks were plainly visible and
they were traced to their home. A
search warrant was issued and some
of the missing articles were found but
the more valuable have not yet been
discovered. The articles were found
in the home of two young men by the
names OF Esau and Nicodemus Hum
phrey. Warrants are out for their
arrest but so far they have not been
apprehended. They are supposed to
be in hiding somewhere in the valley
