A letter addressed to him bv There was a hiirry-skurry time about this i-i'y of Medioid Wednes day morning, and well there might be, great voLumes of .-moke were seen to issue from the residence of A. E. Wood on South E street. A crowd of willing workmen had soon congregated and by the time the linse company arrived the fire was well under control and nearly ex tinguished by the means of water from a small lawn hose. The tire started from u defective Hue and was making lively headway between the ceiling and roof. Hail this house burned others adjoining would surely have met a like fate. Prof. E. E.

Lock box 74. "Shorty' Pickering, alias "Shorty Blacksmith." and Eugene Aman were over in the mountains last week hunt ing. They had some queer experien ces. Shorty didn't give out the infor mation, neither did 'Gene,' but the tall trees have been whispering to us and this is the substance of their artic ulations: The above mentioned bold and fearless braves started out hunting. The fisst half day they hunted for game but the next day and a half it was home they were hunting tor. They lost them selves on the divide without water and without provisions. Their first night's twilight meal consisted of a crust of bread and a few bear tracks, which "Shorty" boped were not fresh ones. Their couch was a saddle blan ket and a prospect hole, but they slept the sleep which is only disturbed by the sniff of a grizzley. "Thai is, they slept thus until night's noon hour had arrived the hour when grave yards yawn aad tombstones turn pale "with fear. It was at this hour that 'Gene mpde night more hideous by playing "There is no place like Home" on" bis harmonica. Morning came and the tramp for civilization again began. They don't know where they went but they kept going. At noon timo rG. ne was detailed to shoot game for the noonday meal. After a two hours' skirmish he returned with a chipmouk and a robin rather a slim feed for two hungry men but they ato them and called it a plenty. That afternoon they struck a water ditch and trailed it to Sterling and the same evening reached 'Gene's cabin, o i Griffin creek. Hood's Pills are easy in action.

The lecture was quite well attended and the merits of his talk applauded loudly by those of the gentleman's political way of thinking.

A.partv of hunters, made up of J. A. Whiteside, . I. Beck. jr.. Ii S. Webb, I. Merriman and V. Sim mons, started Wednesday morning for a three days' pigeon hunt on Applegaie. When they were mak ing ready to start Cashier Enyart offered some suggestions as to "how they were to manouver when thev came within speaking distance of the pigeons, but someone said some thing to the effect that the pigeons they were going after were not moulded by the potter's hand but wVe real live birds, and then En yart kinder sorter slid over to the bank and commenced opening his place of business. No news has as yet been re ceived us to the whereabouts of C. S. Sherman, whose mysterious dis appearance was mentioned in this paper last week. There is proba bly no question but that he "skipped" as this kind of business, we learn, is a part of his past rec ord, he having as unceremoniously left his first wife, as he did his present one. While Mrs. Sherman has our sympathy in her troubles she as well has our congratulations upon being well rid of a husband who cares so little for home and family. Mrs. Sherman is spoken of by all who know her as a very respectable lady, pleasing of ad dress, economical and hard working, and had her husband seen fit to have acted the man they would nave gotten" along finely in Med ford and been the gainers in a finan cial wy. We understand the lady, and her two bright little girls, will soon join her mother and sister at Portland. Card of Thanks.

Ho is from Linn county whoro he owns mill prop erty and uuite a goodly amount oLjand. D. T. Sears and little Fay returned Tuesday morning from their three weeks' visit in various parts of tho Willamette valley. Mr. Sears is con siderably taken up with tho hop indus try of that country and is loud in bis advocacy of its general adoption by farmers of the Roguo river valley. He has promtsed to prepare an article, for publication in THE Mail, setting forth the advantages to bo derived from the culture of this money producing pro duct. Capt. J. T. C Nash, fonnorly owner of tho Victory ledgjn Cow crtek can yon, was in tho Rogue river motrojvo lis last week und from him we learned a bit of mining nows, to tho effect that he has sold his placer mine in the can yon to a stock company for $100,000. The gentleman further ttatcd that he has worked his claim alone for the last four years and has in that time taken out $20,000. Ho says had lie been a young man nothing short of iin even million would have purchased the claim. W. E. C'OUL, of Central Point, was ill Medford Wednesday, and while bore accorded this olllco a pleasant call. The gentleman lias but recently re turned from a two weeks' business trip to tho Sound country. Ho reports that tho Jackson county Flumo and Irriga ting compnny, of which he is a mem ber, is steadily and surely making headway with its project and that day follows the night is no more a cortaln ty than is the building of the much talked of canal or Hume. This com pany has recently purchased 10,000 acres of land from the Southern Pacific railroad and they propose to put water on every acre of this tract. Tho land is distributed about tho valley, small tracts in differont parts, but all so situ ated as to bo easily watered from their proposed irrigating pipe. Instead of digging a canal the company has deoid ed to put in a pipe line. This is be lieved to be a acre practical means of supplying wW for all purposes than anopencaar Vause of the fact that while water from it will perform' the same irrigating work it will also sup ply power for manufacturing, purposes and will give tha farmer a pressure wheroby higher points may bo irrigated. TUcm Hereditary Interlopora. I have always held that the very exist ence of a bouse of hereditary legislators is an intolerable abuse, and consequently that the country has a right to make use of every constitutional form to hinder the lords from interference with the popular will. Who represent the popu lar will? Assuredly its representatives. If, then, the elected representatives of the nation decide in favor of home rule, the lords are guilty of act of leze majeste to the people if . interpose their veto. What can bejre ridicu lous than that a few hundred men some hereditary legislators, some legislators because they have mode hngo fortunes by selling beer or by some similar avoca tionshould pretend to know better than the nation what the "nation wants? The true method to proceed with such obstructionists is, if they throw out tho home rnlo bill to bring it in again in an autumn session and tack it on to the ap propriation bill. If this be done home rule will become the law of the land be fore the end of this year. If it bo not done I really do not know when it will become law. I am sick of half measures with these hereditary interlopers. Lon don Truth. ' A Lad Who Would Murder For Fun. A lad employed as a pony driver at the Trowel Moor colliery at Stupleford has been sentenced to six weeks' hard labor for willfully damaging an endless wire rope used for the purpose of bringing' tnfct of coal np an incline. The strands of !.-: rope were found to be deliberately cu i-j two places, and it was stated that If the ropo had parted the consequence would probably have been a disastrous loss of life. As it was the entire work of the colliery had to be suspended for tliree-quarters of a day, and it appeared that to bring abont this temporary ces sation of work was tho solo motive of this abominable act. John Eothain, in brief, wanted a holiday, and this was his mode of attaining that object. Loudon Now a Entertained a Governor Unaware. A lady who lives on Capitol hiU had invited a number of friends to luncheon on inauguration day, but the severe weather prevented the attendance of those who were to have been guests. The disappointed hostess then thought of the soldiers in front of the house. She suggested to her husband that as their friends had failed to conic, he go out and invite some of the shivering men to come in. To this her husband assented, and seeing a littlo group of soldiers standing part from the others he invited them all. They accepted, and after parta-ang of the eatables and coffee the leader cf the party thanked the lady for kindness and requested her name, which being given, he informed the hostess that he was Governor Russell of Massachusetts and that his companions were members of his staff.

Got to fly, yon know mighty busy." and the sturdy little preacher dived for the elevator nnd enlivened its down-.vard trip on tho same by singing a few im provised bars of ojera to the office boy. Minneapolis Tribune. QIi Hand Froia to a Limb and Saved Ulm. James Matthews nnd Dr. John Wil liams art the heroes of a remarkable ad Tentnro from which they barely escaped with their lives. They sot out to cross Wolf river in cn oid bateau at a point where the stream is half a mile wide, and when about tixty yards from the bank, where tho water was very d"op, with a swift current, their boat sank and both were left struggling in the icy torrent. Matthews managed to reach a tree and pulled himself np to a scat on a stout liiub. -Dr. Williams was swept past this refr.ge, and could do no better than clutch tho pendent branch of an other tree. He was too much benumbed to reach the trunk, and was afraid to lot go, so there ho staid half submerged in freering water, while his companion shivered on a limb near at hand, but un ablo to render him any assistance. There they remained for several hours, when at length their cries were heard and a rescue undertaken. It was neces sary first, however, to build a boat, and this took six hours more, and it was not until they had passed nearly tea hours In their perilous situation that tliey were finally taken off. Dr. Williams' hand had frozen to tho limb ho grasped, and it was necessary to bring tho limb away with him. But for freezing to it he would have been swept away and drowned. Memphis Cor.
