Report says Hammond brothers, Asa and Egbert, of Jacksonville, are .figuring on starting a livery stable in Medford. Ed.

" r-Gentlemen: At Angle & Plymale's, at hard times prices, a nobby suit throughout. rThe Medford Benevolent Associa tion desires us to return thanks to the club and others who were so generous in their, contributions at the charity ball given in Medford last Friday even ing.

PritcKard, the Medford jeweler, is not promising to give his goods away but he is selling them as cheap as they are being sold in Jacksonville, The Medford Athletic society has purchased gymnasium paraphernalia and its members are putting in good tjine, both day and evening, in devel oping their muscles. This is a most excellent exercise and if conducted as it should be void of rowdyism and boisterousness a live interest will be made manifest and the club an assured success. Tho boys have started out to have all things pertaining thereto con ducted in a gentlemanly manner and if the rules are strictly adhered to it will prove of much value. I. A. Mounco is an experienced auctioneer and his services can be had for that line of work at any time by applying at Mounce & Schermerhorn's confectionery store, Medford, Oregon. Ed.

The trumpet sounded on the streets of Medford last week one evening and there was a promisa of much revelry among the Orients and there was great sport'so 'tis said.

' Even if you do not know the facts just call our attention to the direction in which we should go and we will trace the item dovr to facts. How does this catch you for a bar gain? Five 1 pound bars of Horseshoe soap for 25 cents, at Muller's grocery. J. A . Whitman is loading a car load of apples at Phoenix this week to be shipped to New Orleans. Mr. W. could have loaded this fruit from his own warehouse in Medford had it not been for the very bad roads which pre vent farmers from hauling to this place. This is another tip to business men of Medford. They must see to it that the roads leading to our city are improved. Do you need a new table cloth? They have just received new table j linens at The Fair. Cheap as dirt. The administration failed to en force the Chinese exclusion act so let us enforce it ourselves by having our washing done at the Salem Steam Laundry cheaper and better. Messrs. Hamilton & Palm have purchased a tract of land of eight acres in northwest Medford, cornering on Mr. Isaacs property. This tract they propose to cut up into resident lots and put them on the market. As most of the more desirable resident property nearer the business center has been pretty well purchased and built upon, and this not being too far out for con venience, it is safe to say that it will meet with quite a ready sale. There is a residence upon the land which they propose to fit up for rent until a sale for that particular portion of the tract is made. Wirth makes 50 stamp size photos, 5 different positions, for SI. Paste them in your hat, autograph album, books, visiting cards, etc. Just the thing to paste on your letters when writing to a friend. " The editor of a con tempo ray sar castically announces that he wants to buy a sack of flour, a pair of shoes, a suit of clothes and a spring hat, and is ready to receive lowest bids for the same. He says that's the way some merchants do by him when they want $2 worth of job printing. It is different in Medford. If the merchants want job printing they come to this office hand in their copy and express a will ingness to pay what the work is worth. We have promised not to attempt to rob anvone and they seem to feel con fident that we will not do it. A good business at a fair price is by far better than no business ut an exorbitant price. Why patronize Chinamen when you can get your white shirts done up in elesant style at the Salem bteam Laundry at just half the price a China man charges? Henderson & Isaacs, agents, Medford Shaving Parlors. The charity ball, which was given in the opera house last Friday evening was even more of a success than was expected. There were something over fifty tickets sold. The good ladies nrenared a luncheon and after a num ber of dances had been had the lunch baskets were opened and as fine a little meal was spread as one ofteu partakes of. Messrs. Angle Sc Plymale very generously gave the use of the opera house, only charging for fuel and lights. The net receipts now in the hands of a distributing committee is $25.80. Those who had the arrange ment in charge desires us to kindly thank all who were so generous in their donations. People troubled with sick and ner vous headaches will find a most effica cious remedy in Ayer's Cathartic Pills. They strengthen the stomach, stimu late' the liver, restore healthy action to the digestive organs, and thus afford speedy and permanent relief. Engineer Lewis is amusing his friends about Medford telling how he flushed a covey of school ma'ams one day last week. The several teachers were intending to come oyer from Jackson ville on the train, but somehow they missed connections on that score and started out for Medford on foot. They were at a point a short distance, this side of Ja:ksonville when they were met in a cut by the returning train. Mr, Lewis took .in the situation and be? gan blowing the whistle and at about that time the teachers began to scatter up the bank. They forgot the perplex ities of examination papers and tarried not, neither upon ceremonies nor the cause of fright, until they were a good safe distance from the ponderous loco motive and tho seven-foot engineer. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report rowdier ABSOIXJTELY PURE PfJEELY PERSOXAL. I Gus Pape, the youngest son of Mrs. Henry Pape, died at tho family resi dence in Jacksonville last Frinay even ing. He was a brother of Henry Pape, of Corvallis, and a half brother of Charles Nickell, of the Times, and Mrs. A. O. Eckolson. of Portland. His illness began a little less than two years ago, while attending the Jack sonville public school. Ho was a na tive of Jacksonville and 19 years of age. He was a very bright young man and had friends innumerable. An obedience to tho. simplo laws of hygenie and the use of Ayer's Sarsapa rilla will enable the most delicate man or sickly woman to pass in ease and safety from tho icy atmosphere of Feb ruary to the warm, moist days of April. It is the best of spring medicines.' It's a little late to make mention but we have never had anything to say regarding the installation of tho V. R. C. officers which occurred in January, and to catch up on this score wo print the item as handed us by Mr. Woolf: "The members of Ches ter A. Arthur Post and Chest r A. Arthur W. R. C, of this place, had a pleasant time Jan. 12th, tho occasion being installation of officers. Tho oftl cers of Chester A. Arthur Relief Corps No. 34, installed by Mrs. Nannie M. Woolf, Post Pres., were as follows: Mrs. Mary E. Davis, pres.; Mrs. Sarah Squires, sen. vice.; Mrs. Leventeeo Red den, jr. vice; Mrs. Nannie M. Woolf, treas.; Miss Ida Redden, sec; Miss Florence Squires, cond.; Mrs. Margaret Darnell, asst. cond.; Mrs. Mary Smith, guard; Mrs. Josephine Poe, asst. guard." -"Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy: rich but not gaudy, for the ap parel oft proclaims the man." The foregoing is a'clothing ad Shakespeare wrote a few years ago. The same ad will apply to Wolters' lino of gent's furnishing goods "rich but not gaudy. F. M. Poe is big enough to slay the forests almost with one stroke of the ax, but his disposition is not in keeping with his size and instead of laying low the big trees he quietly, and very gently, lays down his ax, slides away in tho brush for a little rest, dur ing which interval a thittf appears on the scene and gently "swipes'' his im plement of ornament rather than use the ax. Mr. Poe will deny all this but any man who will willfully palm him self off for a printer and smash up a printing press has little regard for his veracity. If the gentleman inqucstiou does not make a subject for the coroner of the writer of this item The Mail will appear on time next week, other wise it will be placed in the shade with the several other defunct newspapers which have frequented tho city in days agone. A Citizen: "Sav, 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? Hut how could they be ought else when he sells o many of them. I like tho looks of that window it has the freshness of a May shower and the cleverness of a metro oolitical existence." Get good, fresh groceries at Wolters. The Hammersley mine has been a source of much unpleasantness almost since its first discovery about a year ago. ine owners Donaeu tno property last summer and litigation soon fol lowed asking the courts to either in validate the bond or compel the pur chasers to pay up.- This matter is still before the courts and the end is not vet. Last Friday a United States Marshal arrived in Jacksonville and placed an attachment against the mine to satisfy a judgement of $1600 obtained in the United States court against G. R. flaromersly for cutting timber on government land in Lake county som3 time ago. Later It has since been learned that the attachment was not made on account of the prop erty being in the hands of a receiver and is not attachable. Do vou ever eat ovsters? Wo are prepared to serve them in any style. Have both Shoalwater bay and eastern oysters, Mounce & Schermerhorn. For the last four years Thos. Cur ry has been engaged in mining on rail road land, near Tolo. His right to said mine has not been questioned, un til last Friday, or u questioned no action was taken when he was enjoined by the railroad company from further work. Mr. Curry has retained Attor neys Pontz & White who have entered a demurrer and the case will probably be docketed for the April term. Plain tiffs allege that the property is non mineral land and that Mr. Curry is de? preciating its value by mining it. Mr. Curry has witnesses at hand who will testify that tho ledge upon which ho has been working was located in 59 and others who did placer mining on the same land in '54f The only ques tion of importance which seems to be involved is whether the company can claim mineral lands under their land grant from tho government. -'-We are doing more in our little old way to bring this Chinese question to a focus than all the exclusion acts put together, for the surest way to beat the Chinaman is by not giving him an op portunity, or in other words, stop his suDDlies shut him off short and he must surely go fluee getyourlaundry work done by white people, Henderson & Isaacs, agents Salem Steam Laundry E. W. Starr is a carpenter of con siderable adeptness as is proven by piece of work he turned out last week for tho Masonic order in this city. The article is an altar and displays an ex cellent piece of workmanship. Tho altar is made of nativo wood, sugar pine, and is so arranged as to bo not only a thing of beauty but one of great convenience. On one sido the panel opens out same as a drawer and in it is kept all the aprons and jewels belong ing to the order. In the top is a raised square which i$ covered with velvet when lodge is in session. Tho entire top of tho altar is hung by hinges and which, when raised, opens underneath an ample receptacle for tho book when It is not in use. There are yet to be added to the altar several fino carved emblems which have not as yet been inada. When it is completed it will be a piece of furniture which ull members of tho order, including Mr. Starr, may well fel proud of. E.

Lyon for tho orection of a 24x55 foot store building on his proporty just uorth of the Clarendon hotel. Work on the building will commence as soon as the weather will permit. The build ing when completed will be occupied by Mr. Palm as a store and residence. In buying groceries and all ?oods that go in that line you naturally buy of the reliable, time-tried nnd square dealing house. Wolters has been with you many years and has always tried to treat you right. For good, fresh groceries at living prices try Wolters Mr. Perkins, of Eugene, in a state ment to the Daily Guard, of that city, pertinently pens this pithy paragraph, to possibly picture himself a popular paddler in tho political pool: "Too many p-p-p's in tho political pot-pio might mako it too peppery for the pub lic palate and thereby prevent perfect peace of the p. p.'s at tho polls." Use XXX the largest bottle and best i.iniiie.n'T for man and beast. W. A.
