CITY LOCAL MRU Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report The Jacksonville dramatic club played "An Unequal Match" to a fair audience at the opera house on Mon day evening of this week. A number of the parts were well rendered, in fact, far better than one usually sees in the average amateur dramatic production, while others were hardly up to the standard, which was due to a mistake in casting the play and a want of tho correct conception of their lines and the facts which they were intended to convey Miss Jennie Rcames, as Hes ter Grazebrook; was good. She poses ses the true idea of the dramatic art. Her lines were spoken clear and dis tinct and very unlike the school dia logue, while her movements on the stage were in perfect harmony with the author's ideal cast. We have seen many actresses playing a leading role whose work was a long ways inferior to that of Miss Reames'. The charac ter of Mrs.' Montresser, was very ably handled by Miss C. Cronamiller. Dr. Botcha-by was will taken care of by John N. Bohen, both in gesture and make-up, but his articulation was faulty as it required a very acute ear to un derstand his words. Lines spoken on the stage should be clear and distinct and given to the audience in all their fullness. Geo. Bloomer as a valet did wll. .but he could hare been cast for another part in the play wherein he could have better showed his .ability. Space forbids us making a more exten ded notice. The play as a whole was fairly well rendered and those present seemed to 1 fully enjoy it. The vocal duets by Misses Cora and Mag ia Linn, were fine and were appreciated by the audience as was evidenced by the sev .eral encores. What is it? Conserves Alimenta-res-Petits Pois. Do you kumtux? Ask Wolters, the grocer. It was a large crowd that assembled at the opera house last Friday evening Jo witness the public school entertain ment, and all were well paid for being there. The musical renditions were particularity good. The public school band did itsslf proud as it always docs. The instrumental duet by Julia Fielder and Carl Xarregan was finely exe cuted and fully appreciated it was a musical treat. A recitation by Master Percy DeGroot was the cream jof the program in that line. The young man with proper training will make an elocutionist .of no mean repute. The dialogues were well rendered and as a whole the evening's program elicited many rounds of applause. It was far ahead of any like exibition we have visited for many years. The net receipts of the evening were $70.50. which will be turned over to the schools' literary and musical fund. Miss Mazsie Foster; organist at the Presbyterian church and daughter of Rev. A. S. Foster, will lake a few pupils, as bc-glnners, in instrumental music, either en piano or organ. En quire at residence, on C street. You fellows who know something about guns will enjoy a treat if you step into-Ridfieid IJ.-oi.' gunshop, on Sixth street and take a gaze at the gun which John Red field is making for D. H. Miller. In a few words we can tell you that it is & repeating rifle and single shot shot gun and shoots a 33-53 rifle shell. The barrels are one on top of the other the rifle on top and the shell magazine is inside the stock. It is a fine piece of workmanship, works easy and rapid, and is plainly tabled with a master mechanics' hand. While it is not nearly completed ona can, even now, see the fine points and the excellent mechanism of the arrange ment. The gun when completed will weigh eight and a half pounds and will cost Mr. Miller an even hundred dol lars, and will be cheap at that price. Mr. Ridfield has applied for a patent. ' New stoves and galvanized iron ware CHEAP, also second hand goods almost to give away, at Second Hand Store. On Wednesday morning of this week, by invitation from Mr. T. F. West, we enjoyed a very pleasant drive over certain parts of the out-skirts of Medford. Among the places we visited was the site of the business college. This ia located about five eights of a mile from the postofljee, to the north and east, and is a most delightful build ing spot. Mr. West has a thirty acre tract platted in this locality and out of it he has deeded to the college, and for exclusive college use, a two acre lot. This is unquestionably as fine a site as could possibly have been chosen and if we mistake not the hand writing on the wall there will ere long be many residences erected in that particular locality. The land lays far above the water line and from it one commands a splendid yiew of the surrounding country. Suitings for spring wraps, at Angle & Plymale's. One week from next Saturday night, May 6th, there will be a lecture and musical entertainment given at the opera bouse. The lectures are given under the auspices of the A. O. U. W. lodge of this place and in the interests of that order. The program will- be as follows: Prayer by Rev, T. H. Stephens, ode by Prof. Narregan and others, ad dress by Grand Master B. J, Hawthorn, followed by music, special selection; lecture by Stata Lecturer, O. P.. Whit more, close with music. This even ing's entertainment will be free to all and every person in Medford is invited to be present. Those who have heard Rev. Whitmore lecture are not slow to avail themselves of a second opportu nity. Last week we said that E. Davis was going to Kansas for an extended ri4t- Be since made different arrange- Li w Baton; I Powder ABSOLUTEl PURE merits. He was going to try and hustle in some collections in that state, but has figured that next fall will be a more opportune time, but the truth of the matter is. t he cyclones are swarm ing in that locality and he don't like their complexion, nowhow. A mau who has lived in Oregon for a few years and away from the paths of those des tructive elements don't feel likf mingl ing too freely in tho haunts of their playful antics. We've been there our selves and wa would rather face a band of comriehas, seven thousand strong, than to look squarely in the eye of a fnllgrown. stall fed cyclone. Mr. Davis displayed judgement to a marked degree by remaining in the Italy of our non cyclone producing Oregon. Caixpbell's foot remedy cures spav ins, ringbones and other kindred diseases peculiar to a horse's foot or limb. See Lawtoa the harness man. A meeting of several of the citizens of Medford was held in the A. O. U. W. hall on Saturday April 22. The object of the meeting was to organize a local Industrial League, or People's Party club. Dr. 3. Danielson was elected chairman. Remarks were made by Ira Wakefield and others, showing the necessity of the united effort of the peo ple to prevent monopoly and tyrany from legislating for the special benefit of the few and against the interests of the masses of the producing class, as instanced by the repeal of the mortgage tax law in our late legislature. The organization was completed by electing J. Miller captain. Joseph Thomas lieu tenant. W. M. Baker adjutant, S. Ovi- att quartermaster, and Marksbury, Wilson, Hollingsworth and Beeson, executive committee. The next meet ing is to be held in Medford on Satur day, May 2th. Everybody who feels the necessity for action, is invited to attend, and hear the object of the or ganization discussed. Pioneer m:iple sap like you uster pack at the "oiling down," at Wolter's.

The Medford Ice company will soon be in shape to bogin the manufac ture of ice, and about the middle of June they will be in readiness to begin making beer. They are now having made at Portland the necessary rats, kettles and steam fixtures. The capac ity of the ice plant is eight tons every twenty-four hours and of the brewery fifteen barrels per day. They now have on hands ten or twelve tons of ice which was held over from last year and which will be sufficient to supply the demand uotil they are in shape to be gin manufacturing. The finest line of spring dress goods in the market you will find at Angle & Plymale's. D. S. Youngs, the second hand store man, is all broke up, but he is not nearly so bad broke as the shot house whch has been building his shoes for the past several years. The house has closed its doors and D. S. knows not from whence cometh his next foot gear. Tayler and Damon are figuring on doubling up on lasts and concocting all manner of schemes whereby the neces sary amount of leather may be gotten together for the shoes. Did you ever see Young's shoes? Did you eve. see a rock scow on the Columbia river? ' Finest line of Henrietta dress goods 50 cents a yard extra wide at New York Cash Store. Several changes have been made in places or abode by Medford people this week. M. L. Heart has moved to the residence occupied by A. M. Wood ford, The Mail editor would rather move than pay rent and has dropped into M. S. Damon's residence on C street. Ed. Pottenger leaves the brick house on the corner of B and Ninth and has moved to Mr. Gore's place on C street. It has been sort of an "in side here and outside there" play while the "ladies changed here .and the gen tlemen right and left there."

The Phoenix and Central Point base ball teams crossed bats over the diamond at the home of the latter club" last Saturday. The game was won by Phoenix by a score of 17 to 64. The base ballists of these parts will needs get in and drill a little if they hope to get down where the league teams score. For clothing at cost, inquire at Henry Smith's, Medford. A few weeks ago there appeared in theso columns an article on the subject of boring wells throughout the valley, by O. M. Hustcd, of Central Point. A copy of that paper reached a Mr. J. T. Flinn, of Portland, who is now thinking of visitinsr this part of the country and put to a practical test some of tho sug gestions offered by Mr. Husted. Mr. Flinn is reported to bo a solid business man and if ho undertakes the project, his friends say he will carry it out. His experiment will be that of putting down an artesian well for irrigating purposes. Mrs. C, W.

Pentz, of this place, has been offered the position of law editor in the office of the West Publish ing Company, with hoadquart.:rs either at St. Paul, Minnesota or Washington, D. C. Should Mr. Pontz accept the offer, which seems almost too flattering to allow its escape, he will doubtless reside at Washington at which place he has many friends and ix-latives. It is a lucrative position as well as one well up in editorial honor.

A large stock of woolen yarns, at greatly reduced prices Henry Smith's There is always a big rush of busi ness at the Lawtoa harness emporium, but J. W. has found it convenient to handle the work himself by hustling early and late, until recently, when he engaged the services of Go. Wilson, a harnessmaker of much experience, and now things are popping around that establishment. Mrs. I. M. Nichols, tho Central Point photographer, is now offering cabinet sized photos for S3 per dozen. In justice to Dr. Danielson The Mail wants to say, right here, that it has positive proof that he was not one of the opposing six "against bunds." He is against giving bonuses, on gen eral principles, hut this he considered a matter wherein tho city's interests were paramount to personal prejudices. There is more comfort wrapped up in one of those Economy Flour Bins than there is in the best attended sow ing circle in the land. Tho 6upply of pork in this locality comes several notches short of meeting the deman'l as is proven by the fact that Wm.

CLEVELAND won the Presidency on his MERIT, and on the same Platform the Economy Flour Bin has won its way into the hearts and homes of households wherever shown. -i THE Economy Flour Bin is a receptacle for flour, hold ing 50 and loo pounds, with an oscillating sieve at the bottom by means of which any quantity can be sieved at a time without a parti cle of waste. 0 BY USING the Economy, you do away with scoops and sieves; it being Japanned and baked, it resists rust; flour enough for a bak ing can be sifted in a secoud. IF. YOU want to see a perfect em bodiment of neatness, conven ience and Mmplieity, take a look at the Economy. 0 IX USING an Economy not a spoonful of flour will be wasted in a year's time and even this small saving will soon pay for a bin. THERE are drawers connected with it to hold the diff.-rent spices and seasonings used in cooking. IT LEADS 'EM ALL! 111 PpFEb1 j$ c-i J FEW Economy Merits: It avoids the necessity of reach ing into barrels and sacks; it can be kept on pantry shelf or table; sifted flour always ready for use; the agitator inside the bin stirs the flour, making it very light and im proves the quality. 0 THE flour is put in at the top and sieved out at the bottom. By this new arrangement there is no old, musty flour packed in the bottom as in the chests. box or barrels to commonlv in use. IT IS a satisfaction to the house keeper to have no flour scattered around to attract mice, rats, cock roaches and the various insects that are constantly attracted by loose flour, and if such come and apply for admission into the Economy they fail to get onto the combina tion and retreat disgusted they can't knaw through the Economy. ECONOMY IS KING! EVERYONE LIKES IT! ALMOST EVERYONE BUYS IT! WE HAVE located in Jackson county and have an office and sample room both at Medford and Jacksonville, where we expect to be loceted for several months When our canvassers call on you don't fail to examine the Bin. whether you want to purchase or not. When von come to either Medford or Jacksonville call at the FLOUR BIN OFFICE and see the two sizes-00 and loo pounds-filled with flour and. judge of its merits for yourself.
