Oregon to-day .unquestionably offers one of the best fields on the North' American continent for the gold miner, and mapy haye been extremely fortau aite within the past year, JtJixjE and jurymen aljke handle county treasurer defaulters and their bondsmen with ungloved hands up in Dougjas county. This week Judge Fullerton sentenced the defaulting treasijrer, y. L. Arring ton, to three ypars in the state pen itentiary and to pay the costs ef his trial, fn addition to this im prisonment, says the Koseburg Re view, there must be added, under the statutes governing such cases, a fins double the amount of the. de falcations, viz, $45,981.48. The case of Douglas county against the above named treasurer's bondsmen was settled very cleyerly when the jury returned this verdict: "We, the jury, find a verdict in favor of plaintiffs and against defendant, in the sum of $22,990.74, with cost of this 'action and interest from July 10, 193; at S per cent." This is the way Judge fullerton gets after the county officers in Douglas county for their neglect of duty in allowing the county treas urer to become a defaulter. In cjosjng pp his tajk to the prisoner he says: 'You have been recommended to the mercy of the Court by the Jury, which found you guilty, in consideration of that recommendation, and further con sideration of the fact that if the of ficers of the county, whose duty it was to examine your accounts and count the money in your hands, have failed to perform the duty en joined upon them by law. If they had performed that duty the deficit in your accounts would not have been possible. The neglect on their Dart should be considered in miti gation of the punishment and will be considered in connection with the recommendation of the jury. Wha. a circus Judge Hanna could haje hammering the county court of Jackson county over the knuckles on the same grounds if Bloomer was only here to be sen tenced. The Jacksonville Times a few weeks ago felt itself called upon to defend Judge Neil because of the fact that Th Mail questioned the validity of some of that gentleman's actions as judge of the county court of Jackson county, lhis paper gives out -as one of the reasons why we should desist in our pertinent questioning of the honorable gen tleman that his term of office does not expire next June, The infer ence drawn from the Times' refer ence to this particular point is that should an officer be elected to an office for a term of two years said officer is justified in being a knave and a dtspoiler of the county funds for eighteen months of his term and no mention should be made of it and provided, during the remaining six months he cloaks himself in the raiment of a good and true man he should be re-elected. In the opin ion of The Mail there is an im pea.chment law which can be brought to use at any time during an offi cer's term of office. Should the Bloomer .case be decided in favor of the bondsmen and the point upon whicb the decision is made should be based upon the dereliction of Judge Neil in not demanding an inspection of the defaulting trea urers' books at the time prescribed by law the honorable gentleman will undoubtedly know full welj that there is an impeachment law on the statute books of Oregon, School Fund Apportment.

COXV IJated at Medford, Dec. 5thr 1803 -T. ,: .' , .li::: ' .1. . This In A Beat Story, 1 Pear Mr, Eo, As I -promised you e.oma tjme ago to give you de tail .of .a very nearly, bad accident, I will 4o sp now. I have called the following a ''Black Bear Story" in order to prevent its being mis taken for anything in the ordinary i and the truth of which can be vouched for by several persons, fully as truthful as is the writer himsel&xe-so here goes: It came to pass on the seventh month and the 17th day of the month (about the time the gopher-wood boat run aground) as one Wakeman whose surname was Joseph, a Pharisee and also a hypocrit who sojourns on Pleasant creek and his moth ers name was Joshua. While go ing forth to provender his camels, heard something having a pick nick with some of his pet pigs, so Joseph ran to his house and the first'thing that he came in contact with was an axe, so he grabbed it and away to the rescue. The racket was in a clump of brush, consisting of vine maple, buck-horn, manza nita and grease wood, (a bad mix ture) go Joe rushed right into the fracas pell moll, not dreaming of future consequences. "Hellen Bla zes," says Joe, ''its a bar!" but it was everlastingly too late to con sider now he had got so close he was afraid to run and his only al ternative was to fight gathering all his strength he aimed a tremend ioii8 upper-cut at the intruder, whicli struck right where the bear was only a short time before, but it cut a big slit in the air and jerked 'the axe handle in two right in the middle. At this juncture the bear thought he smelled a rat, so he let the other pig go aud give his undi vided attention to Joe. Just then Joe made another pass at his an tagonist with the stub end of his axe handle, which was parried by bruin with hn right and simulta neously he shot out his left and caught Joe on the shoulder with a downward stroke which took Joe's jumper and shirt sleeve and some little cait skin along witn the rest. Joe says just then he happened to remember wjiat he had read some where, about 'He who fights and runs away," and a live coward is better than half a dozen dead he roes, so he lit out for the ''Dearest spot on earth to me," The bear, in the meantime, having become some what bewildered as to which one of them to persue, had lost consider able time, which Joe was using to the best be knew. Joe had not gone far before he met one of those slick madrona trees, about six inches in diameter and about 20 feet to the first limb, he thought he could make it, but be only got about 15 feet the first jump, so there he was he says he never be fore fejt as though he- would like to rise ip )be world he had never in all his life hugged anybody as tight as be did that sapling he 8a v s ne tninss it there haa been a goed coat of grease on it he could have stuck, but be . began to lose ground, Joe says when he was slowly and surely sliding down that tree, he looked back over his left shoulder and saw that bear coming red eyed for him, he real ized that "This world is but a fleet lngsnow, he saw that, there was only a few short, fleeting moments between him and eternity, he says he thought in a twinkling of all the awful things he had over done, how he kissed Mary Ann Simmons be hind the kitchen door at Squire Smith's candy pulling, how he had kept out a few eggs every day for two or three weeks before Easter and hid them up in the loft of the old log barn thereby deceiving his trusting and loving mother, then too, he thought how he had weut to the school house and while os tensibly fixing up the fire, he had dropped a little cayenne pepper on the stove just as evenin' oraver nieetin' was getting under way, but he thought there was perhaps one chance in about ten million for him so he let all holds go and down he came, and said "farewell vain world, I m going home," and he started just as bruin made a grab for the most imposing part of his physical system, but Joe was too spry for him and away they went, Joe only a neck ahead. J ust then he thought of his faithful dorg and he began to call, ' here I ige I here Tieel here Tige!" The bear thought sheol had broke loose in Georgia and give up the chase and turned in the, oppo site direction and was soon lost in the dank, dark woods. There was . picket fence in front of Joe's resi dence but he never saw it, and never stopped until he was in his mother's kitchnn. Mother, says he, make me a cup of hop tea, for my nervous system has not had such a shock since old Roan ran away with me' with that load of pumpkins. t, H. B. Taylor. P. S. Joe says there is no use talking, a dumed cat with nine clays on each foot couldn't climb one of those plick lladronas. Watch this space for the next time and I will tell you about our new house.

The dancing element enjoyed themselves on Christmas night at Brownsboro. ' ' '" Wm. Coqk, of Lamont, was down at Eagle Point doing tracjing the day after Christinas. "' The Christmas boat at t.he hall in Eagle Point, was well attended and jots of ' nice things' distributed among all the children of the 'com munity. 1 , ' ' A house north pf Eagle Point, belonging to the Mathews', ' caught fire last week, bill before much (lamage was dope" the" 'neighbors rashed in and put the fire out. Mattie and Jfiarl Taylor were driving a eart in the street of Eagle Plntji and upon'- pieetin another vehicle which refused to give half the road, the children wtre over turned. ' A severe fright was the only damage sustained. J. F, Patton and Mrs. Maggie E. Edmoudson, were married at the residence of the bride's parents on the 24th day of December, 1893, at 11 o'clock, Squire Johnston officia ting.. There were present at the happy event, besides the bride's parents, the following gentlemen and their wives: Doc. Parker, Mr. jGebhart, John Allen, Lee Edmond son, Chas. Edmondson, Mr. Brock ey. A splendid dinner was served and the company had a good time all 'round. MORE EAGLE POINT ITEM'S BY UNCLE PICK. As we are a very fa6t people and Your regular correspondent from Eagle Point is off on a hunt, or practicing medicine or hunting a gold mine or otherwise engaged I thought I might perhaps drop you a few-lines to let jour numerous readers know that of all the live places in Jackson county Butte creek takes the persimmons. We have Christinas trees, Christ mas boats, Christmas dinners, Christmas dances and in fact we are up to the times in everything that is elevating.' Hell, among the live things on Butte creek, thanks to kind Provi dence, is a man by the name of Bill Mckee, who escaped being shot far a deer by the skin of his teeth. He and Arther McKee were out hunting, and ' Arther saw what he thought was a deer and fired awav, the nail jupt missing liills head.and the powder burning his face. Somebody will have to be made an example of and go to the pen for a while to make people more caretul. accident rvo. i. Sunday night ns the congregation was returning from the school house Charley Thomas and a lady by the name of Jones were invited to ride in Mr. Hewlett's hack. As he was going by their respective homes, and Mrs. Jones was getting on the seat there was but one and Mrs. H. and Charley were standing in the back part of the hack, not yet seated, wheu the horses started up throwing Charley on his head and shoulders in the mud, and had it not been for Mrs. Jones catching Mrs. 11. she would have gone out on top of him and then Squire John son might have had to hold another inquest. Fortunately Charley was not hurt so but what he was able to do justice to a sumptuous dinner on Christmas day with J. J. Fryer's family. Accident No. 3. As Charley Sincade was riding to the entertainment in the Antelope meet ing house last Saturday night, his horse fell on him and came near breaking his arm; he was complain ing considerably with it Sunday. Accident No. 4. As Mrs. Howlett was going to the same entertain ment she had the misfortune to lose two little Tarn O'Shanters off of the children's heads, but that was noth ing very serious as Fho recovered one of them the next day. Acci dent No. 5. As Mat Ish, living on Rogue river, was hauling a load of fodder the other day his horses took fright and dragged him against the side of a shed, breaking some of his ribs. Dr. Officer was called and dressed the wounds and at last accounts he was doing well. We had a new departure in the metropolis of Butte creek last week. A real, live dentist. Dr. Benj. Hig anbotham, has taken rooms in Pool's blacksmith shop, and propos es to do nil kinds of "dental work, -extracting teeth a specialty. He has had but one case to operate on so far, and that was our pharmacist, Joseph Wilson. After a careful ex amination by the doctor he decided that it would be necessaay to re move the troublesome molar, and so placing the instruments on the tooth and pulling with all his might out came the tooth, but when an examination was made it was dis covered that the tooth was perfectly sound, and that he had drawn the wrong tooth, but as Joe wanted the troublesome tooth out he had Ben. try his hand again, after showing him which one lie wanted out; so at it he won and to Joe's horror he pulled the wrong tooth again. Joe is pluck so ho had the "dentist" try the third time, and this time he made a complete success and ex tracted the right tooth. He didn't charge him full price' as it was a wholrsale job. iou may expect the doctor's ad next week. Miss Ora Dalev, daughter of Wm. C. Daily, of upper Little Butte, was here last week visiting relatives. Wilks Henry, of Medford, was visiting his grand parents, Uncle John Lewis, and other relatives dur ing the past week.

Smith, one of our prosper ous farmers, has beeu quite sick with a grippe, but we are glad to say is recovering. , Considerable work has been done in the sticky lane. In course of time we wijif no doubt, have one of ths finest roads in the county. Lewis Matney, from Eastern Or egon, ana Air. Koundtree, irom Washington, are spending the holi days with James Matnoy and his daughter Ida. Quite a number pf our young peo ple attended the masquerade ball at Central Point, Dec. 25th, and in spite of unpleasant weather and muddy roads, enjoyed themselves exceedingly well. Charlie Clngcade was thrown from his horse, while on his way to the Antelope Xmas tree, and had his arm badly sprained. He suf fered great pain for several -days, but is able to be about again, carry ing Lis arm. in a sling. The Christmas tree at the Ante lope church was a grand success. The house was filled to overflewing with an approving public. Not only young people, but "aged sires, with heads of white," and their good dames were present to partake in the evening's enjoyment. The en tertainment began with excellent music furnished by A. P. Creed and Misses Ida Matney and Maude and Mamie Wiley, followed with prayer by Kev. Jysh. A well rendered recitation by Thornton Wiley was followed by 6ome interesting re marks by Rev. Fvsh. The dialogue. "An Unfortunate Predicament." was well rendered and enthusias tically applauded. Alfred Smith de lighted the audience with a couple oi recitations delivered in a manner that would do credit to a profes sional actor. Lucy Kent and sister both spoke nice pieces. Tom Riley's little girl and bov acted out a cute little dialogue. A plav, "No Ped dlers Wanted," caused great merri ment, and the actors deserve great praise for the manner in which they acquitted themselves. This was followed by another excellent song by the before mentioned quar tet, atter which the ringing of sleigh bell 8 was heard and Santa Claus bounded into the room, and tossing candy to right and left mounted the stage and distributed the presents from the tree, which was heavily laden with costly gifts. All present received laving tokens and returned home well pleased with the evening's entertainment. Extra ou Big 1'osl Cards. By an order from the postmaster- general's office, the largest size postal cards mailable to lorvlirn countries must have attached 4 cenu in stamps. aud will not bo mailed for 2 cents, as heretofore. Article 16 of the regulations for the execution of the universal postal con vention of Vienna provides that post cards in the mails exchanged between countries of the postal union shall not exceed 5 3-5 by 3 3-5 inches, and that post cards that do not conform to these conditions shall be treated as letters. The United States postal card of the largest size measures 61 by 31 inches. and it therefore exceeds the maximum size permissablo for "postal cards" in international mails, and can bo dis patched to a foreign country, except Canada and Mexico, only as a letter, and subject to the rate of postage ap plicable to letters for the oountry to which the card is addressed. If prepaid only 2 cents, they arc short-paid 3 cents, and a charge equal te double that sum, or the equivalent of 6 cents, will be collected on delivery. Pastors' and Laymen's Conference.
