Thore is, or reported to bp, a Four Hundred in all localities. New York city alone cannot lay claim to this of so ciety's modern achievement; neither cun she claim the only McAllister. Tho Rogue river valley, of course, has her Four Hundred. To be metropolitan she must of necessity have one. That this same Four Hundred must have a "Mc Allister is quite ns essential, and that Medford is our acknowledged leader of things modern needs but the obser vation of an eye akin to an average bright intellect. But what are these startling rumors of the declino and (all of this McAllister? Arc they meant to disturb the spring-bloom tranquility of this arbiter of fashion, who loads in walks of advaucemeut.ns he sits playing pastorial pipes, underneath the out spreading boughs of a sugar pine on tho banks of our famous irrigation canal? Are they the gaspings of jealous, competing towns or are they tho mouthings of an over ambitious people whose interests are not Med ford's interests, and whose perfumed argumeuts are but the prompting of an idle and exaggerated fancy? Does green-eyed Envy walk beside the illus trious farmer, as, in his broad straw hat, he prods tho unruly ox with tho goad, or chases the roguish cow when she- breaks through the seven rail fence; or, perehauce, be it because that he reapeth quite a pleuty from his acres watered by the great, canal, while his neighbors many miles distant garnereth nothing but tares? Does this would be monster, whose poisoned pangs outstretch o'er the path of prog o 11 rtss nnwflr.1 nrrnni-. mor, of 1) activity, more of money plenty, than do the promoters of the enterprise now at hand ? Does it agree to water your fields and lawns as with June showers ? Does it agree to light our streets and homes at night with the-brilliancy of noonday? Does it agree to connect our metropolitan city with the densely clad mountains of sugar pine timber by means of ties and steel rails ? As none of these things are promised by the very slender opposition we should y seize the stiletto and slay the imped ing octopus. O Medford ! our pride, our queen, arise and proclaim yourself for right ! Sound the tocsin of prog ress aud listen not unto the harpings of perfumed harpists. He Shot But Didn't Kill. There was considerable consterna tion and a little cold lead sasheing about Hotel Medford last Saturday. It was just at the noon hour, a time .when the average citizen is thinking f something more palatable to sustain the inner man than leaden missiles, that the affray of which we are about to wme iook piace. y . 1 he facts in the case as given 1 Hltf agent for the Southern FaciSe, was in j (ynductor; Mis Ora Adkins.

Joe complied and a fistic encounter ensued and the next report of the affair was from a forty-four calibre revolver in the hands of Addington. Savage in the mean time was making a slide down the stairs and out onto the street. Land lord Purdin and a number of boarders, hearing the racket in the sitting room, started up the stairs just us Savage was coming down and the bullet came nearer hitting some of them than it did the one for whom it was intended. Jfo arrests were made. New help has been procured at the hotel and every thing is now moving along as smoothly as though nothing had happened to disturb the even tenor of tho placid wave so becoming to that hostlery. Dance at Jacksonville. On invitation of the young peo pleof Jacksonville, a party from Medford at tended a dance in the U. S. Hotel of that place on Tuesday night.
