traveling on the trail encountered an
old Irishman turning a windlass which

the sun will injure your brain if you
expose it in that manner?" said the
preacher. The Irishman wiped his
forehead and looked at bis royal nibs.

whiteness. There were also a goodly
number of spectators present who as
sisted in swelling the receipts of the
evening ten cents each and as well
made merry the ball room with their
jolly laugh and applaud. , All in all the
affair was a most pleasant one and tho
disguises of the dancers were complete,
There took place, up at Eugeno,
on Sunday December 25th, a wedding
wherein Mr. Will O'Strandor, of Min
nesota and Miss May Finerty were tho
principals. The bride was formerly a
resident of Medford, but has since ro-
sided with hor parents at Cottage
Grove. She is spoken of as a most ex
cellent young lady and at Cottage
was the belle of that lively and pro
gressive city. The grpom is almost a
stranger in Oregon but enough .is
known to accord him a high, position
in the best society of our land. They
will reside at Cottage Grove.

presented him with an elegant diamond
scarf pin. It is safe to guess that
henceforth these people will bo ten

Hotel Medford. The traveling man is a
much abused being because of his ex
centricities, but if these follows wore
treated with more cordiality aud less
of a spirit of "bleed 'em," there ivould
be less of complaiut because of their
gruffness and impertinence. Travel

Mr. P. so popular.
This appeared in last Friday's
Daily Oregonian: "Mr. C. H. Lend

Priest's Rapids Cunul Company, . left
for Now York Friday, accompanied
by Mrs. Leadbettor. He goes to make
the transfer .01 .tho bonus of his com

purchased them. Mr. Simmons, his
business associate, is now in New York.
Tho company has about 100 men at
work on its line. Pay day will bo be
tween the 15th and 25th of .January."
Perhaps when Mr. Leadbetter gets his
bundLe of good money out of his ditch
proposition he will turn his attention
and bundle iu the direction cf the
Medford -Klamath Falls railroad proj
ect. Let us all hope that ho gets a
good sized heap from his ditch and let
us implore him to not forget his Jack

Tho man who would steal clothes
from tho line of a poor washer-woman
is mean euough to pasture a goat on
his mother's grave and there is one
or more men in this city who arc just
that low-lived and contemptible. . Last
Friday night, Mrs. Skeeters, who lives
just across the railroad track from Mr.
Suter's place, had several sheets and
pillow cases stolen. Tho night choscu
for this theft was a very opportune one
as 'twas that night there was a sheet
and pillow case party given iu Medford
and it is presumed the thief flrured
the charge would bo laid to some of
those at the party, but it wasn't. On
Monday night of this week Mrs.
Thumburg's line was "touched" for an
assortment of linen amounting to about
seven dollars. Tho worst feature con
nected with the thefts is that the
goods stolen were owned by other par
ties and had been taken to these places
to be laundried and the washer-women
are compelled to make good the loss iu
good hard cash.
There was a jolly little surprise
party at X. A. Jacobs' place last Friday
night. The pupils of his classes at the
hiirh school decided that to surprise
their esteemed teacher with their j
presence would result in an tvening of:
mutual pleasure to him, his family and
themselves. Accordingly arrangements
were made and Friday evening they j
sallied forth each carrying a goodly
amount of edibles in truly surprise
party style. The evening was most
pleasantly spent in various games of
amusement and plays peculiar to young
people after which the refreshments
were served and all were happy to an
extreme of much pleasure. Mr. Jacobs
and his estimable wife did all possible
to make the party a pleasant one, and
if the assertions of those resent can
be "banked" upon, they made a de
cided success." Those present were:
