Nunan 17ad a bill allowed at the last session of tfco county court for $20.75 for ''supplies for Bundry indigent persons." The taxpayers svould . undoubtedly like to know who these sandry indigent persons are. Nikola Tesla, the man who has Survived the shock of having 200, 000 volts vibrating through his frame, who has resolved himself in to an animated electric lantern the jtips of whose fingers have been iae to flow ipiih an effulgent light, Bays that under. such an in fluence a naked man could be kept trarm at the North pole. Here is a yaluable pointer for the next man iyho proposes an Arctic expedition. A Ressiajj Jew named Sol.

Fearing himself, and pos sibly some of his neighbors,, may be bilked into a move to that country we print the following extract from a letter in a Seattle paper : Johannesburg, South Africa, Jan. 2, 1S94. I will write you a few lines to let you know that I am still alive. I am a foreman in a mine. My pay is $75 per month ; board $25 a month without bed. This is no country for a white man. Negroes do tho hammer and drill work. Their pav is G2 cents per day. There are '50,000 cf them working within thirty square miles of here. There sre 1500 stamp mills in one line of 50 miles.

The Dutch Doers . are a lazy, ignor ant people There are between 70, 000 and 80,000 of them in the Trans vaal republic. The Negroes are worth nothing here. You can buy a strong, healthy Negro for $100. I will leave this country as soon as I can earn money enough to get away. There are a great many American miners here out of em ployment.

The plate was sent to the dentist's for repairs, a faithful asnurence being pivca that it should be tluiy returned by Sunduv's ! post; but the dentist or the post proved j faithless. j With the assistance of the clerk, the 530 clergyman manawed tostumble through I the prayers, but felt it would be useless to attempt to preach. lie therefore in- .

W PW5 A BIG LAND DEAL. The Orchard Home Association Buy Another One Hundred and Sixty Ar.e Farm. The Home, for Twenty-Three ears, of J. H.. Wilson Now to be Alado a Fruit Farm, Last week a deal was closed between Mr. J. H. Wilson and the .Orchard Home Association whereby tho former sells to the latter his one-hundred and sixty acre horacatcad, joining Medford, the prico paid being $10,500. For sev eral months past this deal has boon pending but not until a fow days ago could the parties come to terms of agreoraent. Tho laud is located to the south and vef.t of Medford and to its nearest corner is a distance of one and a quarter miles from the . postoHlce in this city. Tho land is in a equare body being one-fourth of a section. It lays east of tho original orchard noma and is more valuable for orchard use be cause of it being near to tha city. The soil is a mixture of black loom, grave! and clay and is considered first-class orchard land. For twenty-throe years it has been the homo of Mr. Wilson. It is all under cultivation, but of course, the cultivation which it has had is very slight compared to that which it will now undergo successful orchard cul ture requiring much" higher cultiva tion than that ordinarily given to laud cultivated for cereals. This recent purchase, we learn, will ba surveyed into tracts of a little over twenty-two acres each. Ono cf these tracts will then be subdivided into acre tracts and placed upon the .market. When this tract has been e ntirely dis posed of another oae will bo sub-divided and handled in like manner. This method will ba followed until tho eu tiro 1G0 acres are sold. Much has been said in this paper re garding tho methods adopted and car ried ot.t by this company and there is little need to repeat as all ar quit. familiar with thiia. Wo understand twenty acres of tho riceti'. purchase have already been re-sold to Portland patties. The Orchard Home now embraces acres, nearly r.il of which, aside from themlaj.t pus chase has been re-aold and is now planUd to fruit tr.es of various kinds, and a goodly portion of them bore n fine crop oi most excellent fruit last season. This institution is deserving of the most kiud wishes of every resident of tbis part of the valley, nnd while they are doing much toward advertising the wonderful and varied ivwmrccs of the Great Rogue river vaih y they are do ing stiil more for their patrons in building for them a pleasant home which must of nec?si'.y iacrocso ia value as I Liu orchr.tvs, which thj asso ciation plant and cu'.tivat , become older und rao.-e proiuclive of fruit. While all this is being acco:r.p':ihed for the country r.t-.J ihj association's patrons it must not bi presj:uel thai the prouioters of the institutija are net making a few do'.lurs for a "wei dav" emergency. They make money for thenuelvas by pushing their pro ject and conducting their bui:ies on a lino of business metheds uiid who can say theui nay, when their patrons are well caved for and jivee a:i opportu nity to iuvest a f.-w dollars in an insti tution that pays '.hem a good revenue.

"The most wonderful exhibition of confidence by one person m ancnicr came before tuo a short while back 01; my tour through Germany." said a trav eler to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat re porter. "I have a great deal 01 commence in some men's ability and a wonder. a. trust in some men's nerve and stea.'.y strcngth. but not enough to stake niy life on either. "The exhibition that I saw seemed foolhardy. It was in the works of the great Krupp Arms company. One part of tho machinery is for flattening bat of steel into plates. For this a speein1 marhinc is had, which has an linmer.si steel block or table on which to lay the bars, and a great arm sledge, which weighs several tons and comes dowr with crushing velocity. 1 1 is pcrfecth regulated by machinery, however, am", the man at the throttle can stop it with ease nt any given distance from tin block, providing he has suflicient stead iness of nerve. "The day I went through the munnger accompanied us and requested the man at the check-valve to show us how sure and certain was the machinery. With out reply the mechanic' whistled to a lad working somo thirty feet away. The boy dropped what ho was doing and camo running. "Jump up," Bald the first; and rautteiyd something alwul showing us tho machine. Without re ply t.he lad leaped to the steel tablo be neath the great iron blocks. "We were horrifled.but the work was too quickly done to permit objection. The moment the lad sottled down the engineer grasped the 'mvpr and the great sledge with lightning rapidity llew up and dotvn again toward the block. It was a.11 done by tho steady fingers at tho valve, and it stopped a few inches above tho lad's head,' who smilingly climbed down and started away. "Wo raised a purso to present tho twain with, which was at llrat refused. The manager finally cousented to order them to take the money, which they did I never expo :t to witness such another exhibition of corjfjdcjirc and nerve." eo- , ' I ;a.ng Jruiiv V ' ! - V ll Til 5I TT. r-Tl rain' t I ' I HI I 1 1 N. i I oc J ' : HAVE YOU TRIEDsrt ' Pride of tlie Valley " Baling Powder?
