Those red flags which you see flashing in and out of the various stores and which are suspended from awning posts are not auction banners, neither are they small-pox indicators, but sim ply a call for the delivery man to get a move on himself and deliver goods.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report lj Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE A. J. Gillett, the S. P. telegraph operator, is about as clever and olliging a gentleman as you often find occupying such positions. TnE Mail is under obligations to him for many courtesies rendered. A real clever and accomo dating telegraph operator is such a rarity that when one is found he is deserving of kind rememberances by all patrons of the office. My stock of gent's furnishing goods is new and complete in every detail I. M. Muller. , Dr. T. H. West is slowly recover ing from injuries sustained a few weeks ago. The doctor, while leading one of his horses by the halter, got his hand caught in the lead strap and was drag ged around a field several times before he could bo extricated from his peril ous position. Mrs. West camo to the rescue and by courageous and careful maneuvering succeeded in catching the animal. Parties wishing to purchase lands and to have their title deeds correct should have Pentz & White to attend to their business. George Isaacs, Jr., has purchased G. A. Buffiugton's interest in the Pal ace barber shop and he and Pete Hen derson will conduct the same hereafter. Pete is a very clever man with the ra zor and George is catching on quito nicely himself. They will make good, steady every day in the week workers and will make a success in the new combination. Mr. Buftington will seek a location in some California towii. Pritchard, the Medford jeweler, is not promising to give his goods away but he is selling them as cheap as ttwy are being sold in Jacksonville. There are in Kinmath county sev eral thousand head -f horses and the prices they comir.:ini; arc so low that they are practically worthless to their owners. Indeed, they hardly pay for their keeping during the winter. An effort will be made to find a market for them when spring opens and it is stat ed that the big bauds will be combined and the experiment of driving them east will be tried. Klamath Falls Ex press. . Cheaper than ever. A reduction of 10 per cent, on all woolen goods will be given during the month of Febru ary, at the Racket. The advisability of selling eggs by the pound, as is the practice in many localities, was discussed in a store in a neighboring village a few evenings ago. Upon test it was found that a dozen average sized eggs weigh lib. 6oz. Then a dozen were cuiled from a basket and their weight ascertained to be lft. ltz. This disparity seemed con vincing proof to those present that the most equitable way to deal in eggs is by weight. A stimulant is often needed to uourish and strengthen the roots and to keep the hair a natural color. Hall's Hair Renewer is the best tonic for the hair. Ct C. Taylor, living five miles south and east of Medford, is a gunnist of no small reputation. His latest pur chase in the way of gun implements is a new model repeating Winchester shot gun which pops every time you pull the tricker until the seven pop pers have all popped. It's a great piece of mechanism and C. C. knows well how it should be handled. When you want a bottle of good LINIMENT, use xxx. It is the largest bottle and best remedy in the market. Rev. Williams was one of the very early-day settlers in Jackson county. During his residence here, which must be near onto forty years, he has per formed a great many marriage ceremo nies, and now he is being called upon to perform the same services for the children of those whom he united in marriage years ago. Rev. Williams is a very fine old gentleman and his friends are many and are situated in all parts of the county. Prichard, the jeweler, is selling watches from 32 up as high as you want to go. You get a good article for a little money. Buy now while the price is 'way down. Newspaper men are almost always spoken of as people "without a dollar." In rebuttal of this assertion and in the line of a little item of news wo desire to say that The Mail has this week purchased from Attorney W. I. Vaw ter, lota 7, 8, 9 and 10, block C6, origi nal Medford, and that we are going to build a residencef;thereon sometime during;the next decade.

Mounce is an experienced auctioneer and his services can be had for that line of w!; at any time by applying at Mounce fc Schermerhorn's confectionery store, Medford, Oregon. Mike Maloney, of Wolf creek, went out the other evening to hunt up a stray heifer. He found it within a quarter of a mile of his house dead, with a panther devouring it, and another pan ther coming in from an opposite direc tion. He fired on the feasting beast, and his cracking rifle started up a band of five full-grown panthers which scattered in as many directions. The panthers now number four, and Mike is building a high picket fence around his house. Wirth makes 50 stamp size photos, 5 different positions, for SI.

Do you evor eat oysters? We are prepared to serve them in any style. Have both Shoalwator bay and eastern oysters, Mounce & Schermerhorn. Frank Wait came near being a loior of one of his big horses last Sat urday. He had driven out into Boar creek and as he supposed was in a com paratively safe place when one of his horses stepped into a hole which seemed almost bottomless. Frank jumped into the water and for a time it was a question as to whether he or the horse was under water the greatest length of time. After a struggle of several miuutes the animal gained a footing as well as Frank and both horses andman came safely to shore. Ayer's Hair Vigor keeps the scalp free from dandruff, prevents the hair from becoming dry and harsh, and makes it flexible and glossy. All the elements that nature requires, to make the hair abundant and beautiful, are supplied by this admirable preparation. A subscriber: "'I noticed in an is-1 sue of your paper of a few weeks ago that you recommended that all pedes trians on the street should turn to the right. I liko your idea. If there is anything that pleases me moro than another it is to know when I meot a person on the street which side of the walk they are going to take. There would be a great commotion in the cities if there was not an established rule to guide the many pedestrians. Turn to the right always and bo right this applies to ladies as well as gen tlemen." -"Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy: rich hut not gaudy, for the ap parel oft proclaims the miin." The foregoing is a clothiug ad Shakespeare wrote a few years ago. The same ad will apply to Wolters' line of gont's furnishing goods "rich but not gaudy." A very pleasant birthday party was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Wigle, in honor of their daughter, Erma's fifteenth birthday, Saturday evening, Feb. 3. The guests present were Ida Weaver, Arthur Faris, Virgie Woodford, Maurice Wright, Iva Purdin, Brace Skeel, Mabel Jones. Scott Davis, Myrtle Lawton. Milfcrd Weaver, Lulu Keizur, John Gainey, Elsie Wiley and Alva Danielson. The young lady received quite a number of beautiful presents. The evening was pleasantly passed in playing numerous social games and a; about eleven o'clock they departed wishing Miss Erma many more equally as happy events. Pekin duck eggs for hatching 50 cents per dozen. Inquire of J. A. Smith, at Miller's hardware store, Medford. There has been another divorce granted in bnsiness circles this week. B. F. Adkins and B. S. Webb, who have been doing team work together for tho past ten yearc , have severed the chain that bound and will drive in single harness hereafter. Their pros perity dates from their first advent in Medford and they are both possessed of many of the chatties and acres of fertile soil which help to make life worth staying here. No person has aught to say of them but that they are square, honorable men and have always been such in their business transactions. The large brick block, corner C and Seventh streets, is now owned by Mr. Adkins. With pure, vigorous blood coursing through the veins and animating every fibre of the body, cold weather is not only enduracle but pleasant and agree able. No other blood medicine is so certain in its results as Ayer's Sarsa parilla. What it does for others it will do for you. E. P. nammond is considerable of a prognosticator. He claims to be on the inside track of a little invention, of his owu, with which, by the aid of a few hieroglyphics and Ayer's almanac, he can foretell the approach of accidents, such as railroad disasters, mine explo sions and in fact, any accident of what soever nature; and also claims to out rival Hicks on his weather predictions. The question now is, can he do it? He has promised to furnish us with a more lengthy item on the subject for some future issue in which will be given a portion of the workings of his contriv ance ommitting only the one princi pal ingredient which Is kept a secret from only those who buy the right to use its. A Citizen: "Say, isn't that a lulu of a show window Wolters has fixed up? and do you realize the fact that all them goods are fresh? But how could they be ought else when ho sells so many of them. I like the looks of that window it has the freshness of a May shower and the cleverness of a metro political existence." Get good, fresh groceries at Wolters. A corn doctor, named Hanna, and a woman calling herself Dr. Annie Wilder were arrested at Grants Pass last week and fined $25 for giving an exhibition and charging an admission without a city license. These two were in Medford last Thursday and were figuring on opening dp for a two weeks' stay. They went to Jacksonville the same evening but returned Sunday morning and took the southbound pas senger, evidently satisfied that this section of the blooming Rogue was not the most favored spot for bilks and bilkessos. The woman claimed to be a spiritualist and gave seances. Hanna claimed to be a footologist profession ally, but practically manager for Dr. Annie genius had taken a new flight, spirits were above soles and he had dropped the carver and taken up the robe. The Eugene Guard says they left a number of bills unpaid in that city. The marriage of Mr. Geo. R. Neil and Miss Susio Turner occurred at the residence of Dr. DeBar, in Jackson ville, Wednesday morning of this week, Rev. Robt. Ertiis officiating. Soon af ter the ceremony the happy couple took the morning train for Medford and from here they took tho overland for San Francisco. Mr. Neil is 6on of J. R. Neil, judge of the county court of this county, and is a very bright busi ness young man. Miss Turner, tho bride, is spoken of as a highly cultured young lady of excellent tastes and good business tact, and socially is a peer in tho best circles. She has boon engaged for sometime past as agent and tele graph operator for tho Rogue River Vallev railroad and all tho employes were friends of Miss Susie. They will return after a few weeks' stay in San Francisco and take up their residence in Jacksonville. The Mail's congrat ulations are tendered these people in unstinted quantities. The 29th of last November was the day of Rev. and Mrs. E. S. Craven's twentieth anniversary of married life, but owing to tho fact that at that time both wero ill in bed the occasion was not celebrated. Their friends, how over, did not forget that a fitting re membrance of some nature was justly theirs and accordingly on last Wed nesday evening week about fifty of the members of tho M. E. church met at tho parsonage and vary forcibly re-' minded the reverend gentleman that their memory had.sorved them well. A very pleasaut evening was spent amid abundance of social jokes and laughs and a merrier time there no'er was celebrated. Among the presents given this estimable couple was an el egant toilet set of nine pieces, a very nicti and valuable set of tea plates and edibles enough to well supply their larder for a time equal to several weeks. Aside from these there was a goodly amount of silver given that which wo change for groceries, meat, house rent and "sich." Mr. and Mrs. Craven know full well the requirements of a genial host and hostess and upon this occa sion they were found wanting in none of the requisites which tend to make life a pleasure, and they made the even ing a happy dawning of a now world of congeniality and good cheer. The visitors aiso brought with them their lunch baskets and a fine evening meal was enjoyed.

Tne masquerade Mother Hubbard ball given last Friday evening was con siderable of a success. There were about fifty maskers who took part in the dance. They were about ' 'alf and 'alf that is, about half of them were ladies and about half were gentlemen, yet the distinction was hardly noticea ble until after the masks were removed, as all wore Mother Hubbard dresses and, some of them, faces so hideous that their significance was past finding out. There were all styles and colors of Mother Hubbard. In color their costumes were white, red, blue, spot ted, pink, green and black red pre dominating. Bert Whitman wore a spotted Mother Hubbard, a chocolate mask, and a "wrong font'' eait sup posedly in imitation of a lady's walk but a long ways shy of the mark at which it was aimed. Shiner wore a duplicate of Bert's costume except the walk. Bob Galloway wore a gunny sack cut decollete in two places, a chocolate face and the general make up of Topsy. A. J. McLeod was there wi:h a face that resembled the last sad days of a wrecked life, and as he was leading the grand march Attorney Cardwell was heard to remark that if he ever did any more cattle herding he wanted that face to lead the band with. All other maskers wore just ordinary wire masks or dominoes. While the Mother Hubbard is not just the style of dress that we would go wild over in our admiration yet tho ladies, nearly all of them, used such good taste in preparing and decorating their cos tumes as to make even this a pleasing gown to look upon . We almost forgot to mention that John Barneburg was there but owing to the absenco of a mask on the back of his head his dis guise was incomplete. The spectators numbered about one hundred and the cash deposited with Doorkeeper Nichol son amounted-to about 8,10. Mr. and Mrs. W. Simmons and I. Woolf fur nished tho music and Taylor Payne was master of ceremonies. Arrangements have been made for a grand masquerade ball, to bo given in Medford opera house, on Thursday, February 22nd, by the Medford string band. Dance tickets, 50 cents per couple, s)ectators, ten cents each. Fetsch takes the cake in making clothes cheap. John Bellinger is shy a hat since tho Mother Hubbard ball. Ho has since provided himself with anothor piece of head gear and will be at the charity ball- next Friday night but both himself and hat will be dynamite loaded. Como to the Second Hand Store to buy goods cheap. The case of Barr and Hurt vs. the Hammersly boys was tried in Judge Walton's court Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. After hearing all evidence the jury gave judgment in favor of plaintiffs for sixty odd dollars. It is probable the case will be appealed. Pentz & White appeared for plaintiffs and W. W. Cardwell for defonse. Use xxx the largost bottle and best liniment for man and beast. Removal notice. Taylor, the foot-fitter and shoe doc tor, finds his present quarters too small.

Medford is a long ways from being a poverty stricken city, but there are among us, as iu all cities and at almost all times, a few of the unfoi tunates who have met with accidents, experienced sickness or encountered- a reverse of circumstances which has de pleted tho "raiuy day" reserve fund, and as such peoplo are worthy subjects of our generosity we should all contrib ute our mite toward their reliof. Wa who can now afford to assist may one day be situated differently, and we will then realize the value of a helping hand. Of. course it is not expected that those who never dancod before will dance now, but the fact that you do not indulge in this kind of pleasure is no bar to your contributing your four bit pieces. Several ladies have been detailed as a soliciting committee and they will iu all probability call upon you. The ladies who attend the party are kindly asked to provide them selves with a lunch basket, containing therein a goodly amount of edibles, and bring the same to the opera house where during the eveuing lunch will bo sorvod. Remember, everybody, that all is for sweet charity sake and be as liberal as your purse will permit. It is desired that all who attend the dance should bring a tin cup for coffee.
