Under tho Australian ballot system tha municipal election of Medford oc curred last Tuesday, January 12, at which timo a mayor, four councllmon, a recorder, a treasurer, and a marshal were elected. Thero wore two tickets in the field, Citizet.s and Democratic. Two councilmcn and tho treasurer ran on the tickets of both parties and were elected, the citizens electing the rest of their ticket except one councilman. Two hundred and twenty-seven votes were polled, being exactly the same number as cast last vear. This num ber, we understand, is about seventy five short of tho real voting strength of Medford, but owing to there being no issues to draw out the full vote the re sult was a surpriso to those who counted on the additional number. Tho city was divided into two pre cincts, numbered one and two, Seventh street being the dividing line. Every thing went on smooth and quiet during the entire day and we are safe in saying tho Australian system gave entire sat isfaction. The result is as follows: Mayor, J. A. Whiteside, Citizen can didate, 124 votes; majority over G. S. Walton, Democratic candidate, 33. Councilmcn W. B. Roberts, D. and C, 181; Dr. E. B. Pickel, D. and C, W . f . Wood, C, 152; E. J. Mon tague, D., 125; J. W. Short, C, 119; D. H. Miller, D., 108. The first four are elected. Recorder J. H. Faris, Citizen can didate, received 137 votes; majority over N. A. Jacobs, Democratic candi date, 51. Treasurer G. H. Haskins. 224; no opponent. Marshal L. C. Rodenberger, Citizen candidate, 140; majority over A. Z. Sears, Democratic candidate, 49. The following were the judges and clerks: First precinct, judges, W. 1. Vawter, chairman, and B. O. O'Neil and Wm. Slinger: clerks, S. S. Peutz and Vm.L"lrich:second preciuct.judges, W. T. Johnson chairman, and I. A. Webb and J. Brandenburg: clerks, J. V. Curry and D. T. Sears. The count ing was quickly and neatly done, as the full returns were in tha evening of the election. XOTKS.

Wkst S.-c'y Cut Ankle. A rather sorious accident occured in tho city Tuesday afternoon. Tho bridge gang of this division, which readies from tunnel ono, just this side of Roseburg, to Ashland of which Dun McFadden is forraan, were at work putting down new plunks in the depot walk. Robert Crockett whil j hewing one of these planks, which had been laid, cut himself just below the . inner ankle joiut of the loft foot. The out was about one and one half inches long and quite deep. It blood pro fusely as though an artery had been cut but after boin? assisted to one of the Grand Central rooms, it was fouud by the doctors who had been called in, Genrv nnd Walt, that although an artory had boon touched none were cut. The dressing of tho wound was quickly done, two stitches necessary to closo the gap, after which the young man was assisted to the depot, and taking the evening train went on to his home, which is near tunnel nine where ho was at last accounts doing well. Artesian Wells A San Francisco paper thus notes tbo natural gas furor at Stockton. Cal.: "There are eight flowing wells about the city, and the company managing these has mains in all the principal streets. The wells vary in depth from 1,000 to 2,300 feet and the flow varies much as the depth. One of them in the northern part of the city has an estimated flow of 23,000 feet in twenty four hours." J. H. Baldwin, State Engineer of Irrigation of South Dakota, reports that for the last week the artesian well at Springfield has been throwing up quantities of soft coal and hundreds of pounds of slate. When he left it there hud beco gathered a ton and a half of soft coal which had been scattered around the well by the force of the stream. The Springfield well is one of tho largest in the State, and has a pressure or mj pounds and throws a stream thirty feet high. Scientific Amercian. Sistiliieries.
