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

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

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.

A Worlds Fair Entertainment.
A picturesque and vivid succession
of beautiful scenes, illustrauve of the
wonders of the World's Fair, is a faith
ful description of tho World's Fair en
tertainment which will be given at the
opera house Wednesday evening, Feb.
Hth, by the ladies of tlie M. E. church.
By means of a powerful stereopticon
with dissolving effects over 130 beauti
ful views are thrown by calcium light
on a screen of 450 square feet of canvas.
These views comprise all tho interest
ing features that could be seen in a
months' visit to the World's Fair. The
realistic presentation of these views is
accompanied by graphic and brilliant
explanation of their beauties and sal
ient features by Mrs. Hester A. Har
land, of the California Worlds Fair
Commission and Secretary of the State
Board of Lady Mauagers. The admis
sion is only T cents, reserved seats
35 cents, on sale at usual place in ad
vance; special tickets for school chil
dren will be issued admitting them for
10 cents.

For Sweet Charity Sake.
Next Friday evening, February 16th,
there will be given in tho Medford
opera house a dancing party, tho pro
ceeds from which will bo given the
uccdy poor of this city. The price of
dance tickets will bj fifty couts each
and each ticket admits one gentleman
and oue lady. Spectators will be
charged ten cents each the ladies
can deposit their silver at tho door
just like tho men folk and it will all go
to assist in alleviating possible dis
tress. 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.
