One of the counters at Wolter's popular grocery has recently been be decked with a new extract case that adds materially to the general appear ance of Charley and Mose the feather weights. S. Rosenthall, the Seventh street clothier, tells that ere the flowers bloom again in the spring ho shall have arranged for the erection of a brick block where his wooden building now stands Caixpbell's foot remedy cures spav ins, ringbones and other kindred diseases peculiar to a horse's foot or limb. See Lawton the harness man. R. H. Whitehead has erected a neat little barn at the rear of his large, beautiful C street residence, and, like all thiugs peculiar to the habits of this gejjtieman the barn is a neat lilllo af fair with a cupalo on top. J. W. Miller, the Seventh street wagonmaker, says this late rain will completely ruin all small potatoes make big ones of them. This is a pun and is original with Mr. Miller and quoted by Charlie Strang. The Medford business college build ing is urogressing finely. By the 10th of July it is txpected the structure will be completed, and immediately there after the school will be moved and re sume its work in the new home. Any one desiring to purchase min ing machinery, or in fact, mill machin ery of any kind will save time and money by calling upon C. F. Lewis, Medford." Wm. Ulrich, aianagerof the South ern, Oregon Pork Packing company, tolls us that bis company will soon com mence the erection of a 30x50 foot brick building, to be used as a refrigerator and general receptical for meats. That new sign writing which Smith & Sherman are doing on the Southern Oregon brewery is something beautiful to look upon, as will also be the sign they are painting for The Mail. These geotlemeu are artisans of great ability. Medford will celebrate the Fourth away from borne this year. Our peo ple will, in all probability, go either to Jacksonville or Central Point. Will thesj towns return the compliment next year when Medford will celebrate? We were iu error last week in stating that the Henry Smith stock of goods was lobe shipped to Wolf Creek. The goods will be placed in the store ! room on Front street where a division among the heirs will probably be made. ' The many friends of Mrs. J. A. Slover will regret to learn the fact that her health is so poorly as to necessi tate her seekintr medical attendance elsewhere than at Grants Pass. The lady is now at the Good Samaritan hos pital in Portland. The RedfieldV Bros, have moved their gun shop from Eighth street to east Seventh where they have opened out on a more extensive scale in antici pation of an increased patronage. THE Mail hopes they get it. They will also op.-u a shooting gallery. "It has cured others and will cure you" is true only of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. The motto suits the medicine and the medicioe the motto. What better as surance could you have that a remedy will cure you, than the fact that it has cured such multitudes of others? If the city council was to take some action whereby that stagnaut water in the gutter on tne north side of Seventh street eould be permanently done away with there would be much rejoicing by the business men of that locality. A few loads of gravel would fix it plenty. F. W. Waschaw, the gentleman who recently arrived in Medford from Missouri, has leased rooms near the Star Parlor saloon, on Front street, and as soon as bis goods arrive, which have already been shipped, he will open a jewelry store, aud be one of us hence forth. Etna, on Rogue river, is going to celebrate the great Fourth in a manner truly patriotic. They are going to have a display of almost everything you eould reasonably expect at a gor geous July gala day. John Wilson was in Medford Saturday, arranging for the affair. . R. H. Halley has commenced tear ing away the old buildings and making ready generally for his new brick. The brick for this structure are now being made, the stone for the foundation are being delivered as is also lumber for the wood work. By the middle of July it is expected work on the build ing proper will begin. I Those new ladies' watches recently received by Jeweler Pritchaad catch the eye of all passers by. His line of i ladies' and gent's jewelry throughout i is something pretty fine and is being sold at prices within reach of all. lie has one whole case devoted exclusively to spectacles and eye glasses and can fit, not only the eye, but the purse as well. Bertie Mayhew committed suicide by cutting her tnroat with a razor, at Ashland last Friday night at the Depot hotel. John Clark, a locomotive en gineer on the Southern Pacific Rail way, says she asked ban for money to pay her board bill. On his replying that he had none tonight but would let her have some in the morning, she asked for bis pistol, and when refused grasped a razor and cut two gashes in her throat. Jacksonville will . celebrate tho coming Fourth of July in. grand style. The.cilizei.8 have subscribed $5u0 for thai purpose. The Ashland silver cor net band und orchestra will furnish music. Judge H. K. lianna is presi dent of tho day. K. K. Kubli will de liver the oration and Miss Jonnie Reatnes will read the Declaration of Independence. There will bj nothing lacking in incentive to patriotism and a general good lime. j There is rejoicing in dog heaven, but the canine population of Medford is wearing crape and shedding tears of sorrow and regret old Rex has gone home. He was tho well known bird dog belonging to W. W. Cardwell and his demise was due to the fact that old father Time decided his stay amid the trials and troubles of the wicked and perverse dog generation had been of a duration quite sufficient henco the shuffling off Rex has gone home. Willis and Henry Grilliti experi enced a run away Monday. Thev were driving to town with a mule and cart when the muleship bocoma frightened and started out at a pac-j uncommonly lively for these animals. The boys stayed with the vehicle for some dis tance but finally were compelled to va cate. When they reached Medford they found mule and cart hung up on a post near Weeks' furniture store. The cart and harness were somewhat broken up, but the mule, as a matter of conrse, came out all right. Last Saturday Dr. Geary perform ed the surgical operation of amputa ting a log for Joseph Robison, of Tal ent. Mr. Robison has been a sufferer from this diseased member for many years and has sp;nt a great amount of money in doctoring, but to no avail. The bone had become badly diseased and in fact was dead at the time of am putation. The limb was taken off be tween the knee and hip at a point known to surgeons as the upper third. Dr. Geary was assisted in the opjra tion by Drs. Pryce, Wait and Pickel. At last accounts the patient was doing nicely. i hose who swing themselves so far from the line of truth as to intimate that there is little, if any, money in hog culture should paste these figures in the tablet of their memory: Last Saturday Mrs. Fordycj, a widow lady living a short distance southwest of Medford, brought lo town and sold to Ed. Wilkinson two hogs which bal anced the scale beam al 977 pounds. She received five cents a pound for them, amounting to $4S.35. This dem onstrates to a certainty that '.here is money to bj made in raising pork and it further demonstrates that it is not alone the men folk who are becoming convinced of this fact. It is our sad mission this week to chronicle the death, bv childbirth, of' Mrs. C. M. Harvev, near Taleut, on Monday of this week. Funeral servi ces were hel l al the residence Tuesday afternoon and were attended by a large concourse of sympathizing friends. The grief stricken husband has extended to him the most sincere sympathy of friends from all parts of the valley. Mrs. Harvey was every body's friend and none knew her but to treasure the kindest regards and all will remember her with a feeling of respect and reverence. She leaves two children, one being a baby only a few hours old. Pcrrv McGee, living over on Wil liams creek, was in Medford this week accomuained by his meuagerie, consist ing of a full grown possum and her two young ones which he recently brought from Missouri. He was showing them to R. H. Halley and that gent'.einan after looking at them for a while figured that "them ar possum" was 'the only one thins ueedful to complete his earthly happiness. After a little dickering a shot gun all its accoutermenis were decided to be about of equal value with the men agerie und the deal was made. Mr. H. it is said, will now begin negotiation with Mr. Palm for his lojj eared pet, witn the musical voice, "ill then join issue with tho boys with the Merry-go-'round and hit the road. 'And still there is another new deal on in way of a business change. This time it is Messrs. Davis & Pottengcr, the genial and very popular Seventh street grocers, who have slid out of business. Their successors are Mr. John Morris, well known about Med ford, and Mr. E. H. Fawcett, formerly of Oiase City, Kansas. These gentle men enter upon their new venture un der tho most fluttering prospects as their predecessors have established quite a lucrative trade. That the for mer firm's reputation for good goods and honest weights and prices will bo sustained under the new order of things is not questioned by those who are ac quainted with the people who now ma nipulate the wires thata operate the "masheen." Mr. Davis, one of the re tiring members will rest up for a few months and by so doing endeavor to improve his health which ha not been of the best for some little time. Mr. Pottenger has no course mapped out except that he has decided to go fish ing for a time, which literally means that he too will rest. The regular meetings of tho Medford V. C. T. II. will be held second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, beginning with July Will Recommend The Mail Printer. This week Tuje Mail job office did some printing for Scott Griffin, the Tolo real estate dealer, and this is what he says about it: "To The Medpohd Mail: You did a neat job, and quick work, to get copy and print five thousand large postal cards, box and ship them inside of thir ty hours. I shall take pleasure in rec ommonding a printer that can do it." Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE AiuoHsr The Churches. Rev. T. N.

Tho church was tastily decorated, the pulpit arch was entwined with ivy, on the rear wall was suspended a large floral cross, while the pulpit, communion ta ble and organ were covered with roses and flowers of many varieties arranged in pyramids, bouquets, etc. On the wall to tha right of th i p.ilptt was a largo picture of Mr. J. H. Faris, draped with crape and whit: fljwers. Mr. Paris had bjen superinljnlent of the SjnJay school for nearly five years. The chil dren rendered an exercise prepared es pecially for the occasion, entitled the "Sabbath Day." consisting of songs, recitations, etc. The primary classes under the direction of Mrs. Foter, gave one exorcise entitled, '"Sabbath Bells," which was well rendered seven girls represented the seven days of the week, each singing a solo, and joining in tho chorus. Percy D-Groot's recitation of "Little Dick" was well done and he received many compli ments. The pastor. Rev. Alex. S.

Davis & Pottrnoek. Baton; Powder James McGuire Shot. The following telegram, dated at Jacksonville, appeared in the Oregon- ian of Wednesday: ' A fatal shooting affray occurred last night at tho Blackwell diggings, six miles north of Jacksonville, in which James McGuire, an old pioneer soldier, was killed. McGuire was interested with George Ross and Miller Murray in a quartz lead at that place, which has developed into valuable properly. McGuire has had considerable trouble with neighbors. Being aged and de crepit, his disposition was erratic, nud i he was easily aggravated into violent ebullitions of temper. Last evening some boys were around his mine, and he took offense at some fancied or real grievance and started after the boys with a gun. He chased one boy into the barn, threatening to kill him, when the young fellow turned upon ar.d shot him, the ball taking effect in his groin. He was removed this morning lo the county hospital at this place, where he died an hour after his arrival. George Caldwell, who shot McGuire, is a son of Chris Caldwell, who killed a man in a dancehouse on the Siskiyou mountains during the construction of the railroad ever the mountain, for which he is now serving a life sentence in the peniten tiary. Jimmy McGuire was a Mexican war veteran and had served with dis tinction during the Rogue river Indian wars. He fought bravely at the battle of Hungry Hill, and distinguished him self by goiug with General Phil Sheri dan to help remove the wounded sol diers from the battle-Held under a heavy fire from the Indians. In the civil war he enlisted in the First regi raeatof Orogoa voluateers, uai.-r CjI onel It. F. Maury. He has been in the United Slates service 10 years and 5 months during his life lime. Al the coroner's inqu-jst held al Jack sonville Tuesday evening and nearly all day Wednesday the evidence given by Frank Heck, the only eye witness, was to the effect that he and young Caldwell were out rabbit hunting and that they were upon McGuire 's land upon which land Mr. McGuire had pst-.-d noliees forbidding anyone tres passing and that McGuire threatened to shoot them and in fact did shoot at them, whereupon young Caldwell crept up behind a bura an! leveling his gun over a board fired and shot McGuire, who was slanjing near hi house. Mo Guire's statement before he died was that he did not Are a shot al the boys and that he was sitting on a stool near me noasj reaaing a paper at me ume j i he was shot. Caldwell came to Jack sonville, gave himself up and his hear ing was set for yesterday. J. G. WigleV ten-year-old son, Lorcn, met with an accident Wed nesday evening which will tend to keep hi:n indoors for a time. He fell from a horse and broke his arm just above the wrist. Drs. Jones t KerchgessniT reduced the fracture. Mr. Blevinj' Etidoresment. I have been atlending the Medford Business College for the past four months and I can heartily recommend that school to any person who is desir ous of acquiring a business education.
