Pauline Will Be
Real Attraction

The operetta Pauline to be given
at the Vining Theatre Monday even
ing is anticipated by many of the
music lovers and theatregoing peo-
Pile of Ashland. About seventy of
the best singers and amateur actors
of the city will take part. 1t is un-
der the direction of Mrs. Marie
Christian Watkins, the competent
instructor of singing. She is well
known throughout the city, and her
connection with the production alone
will suffice to bring out a large
crowd. The reason for the giving of
the operetta is for the establishing
of a musical conservatory here by
Mrs. Watkins. The funds derived
from this entertainment will go to-
ward this end She is also becoming
familiar with some of those interest
ed in music and in this way making
foundation for the institution to
come later.
Mrs. Sylvan Provost, who was to
take the part of Pauline, is very i'll
at the present time, but an able
singer will take her place that night
II she cannot The music of the
operetta is of singular beauty, every
measure and bar being an endless
chain of harmony. 1t is full of wit
and humor, and besides expresses a
joyous sentiment of happiness and
good will toward all. It is hoped
that the audience will pack the thea
tre to the doors. Reserve your ticket
in advance.
A special feature of the evening
will be two violin solos by Miss Flor
ence Clark of Medford, these to be
played during the intermission. An
other feature which may take place
will be two solos by Mrs. H. j. Col.
Inns, the sister of Mrs. Watkins. She
is now on her way from the east
She is a real celebrity. and her sing
ing will be treat. 1t Is practically
certain that she will be here in time

Portland, Ore, Nov. 5.-Oregon
has voted for statewide prohibition,
the drys having carried almost every
county. Multnomah may give a wet
majority of few hundred votes, but
later returns may show the county
dry. Withycombe has carried every
county for governor and the entire
republican state ticket with the pos
sible exception of senator has been
elected by substantial vote. Cham
berlain leads Booth for United
States senator by 2,31S votes in in
complete returns from twenty coun-
ties, including Multnomah.
In counties which has not been
heard from fourteen in number.
Booth is supposed to be strong. The
remote precincts are believed to have
gone strongly republican. Hanley,
the progressive candidate for sem
ator, has been a bad third and has
not made a showing anywhere. No
returns have been received from Har-
ney, his home county, but the pres
ent reports indicate that Hanley will

Distress Signal
Adopted by Council

At council meeting last night Mr..
Ware brought up the matter of the
increas 'ng menace of the hoboes in
the city, and referred to the gather
ing at the mayors store last week.
He brought forth new plan-to
have distress signal in case of urg-
ent need This to be as follows:
Two short signals repeated three
times, with intervals of half a min
ute between each repetition. This
signal is only to be used when tho
numbers of the hoboes become so
great that the police cannot handle
them. At this signal every citizen
that is able will congregate at the
depot. However, the danger of the
difficulty of handling enraged citi-
zens was eliminated by having about
fifteen men who are deputlzed for
such an occasion, and these men only
have power to use their own judg-
ment with the gentlemen of the rail-
road ties.
