HEWS OF THE CITY. 'Twi Fan All 'Round. - Fun is just plain English for an im mensely good time, and that" is what they had at the millinery sosial, given by the ladies of the Christian church, last Saturday night, and it was asocial -not one of those double north frigid zone refrigerators, where one set gets in a corner, and the rest play wall flower and pinch themselves for com ing, hut everyone was intent on having a good time and seeing that everyone else did. There were so many people and so much noise that you could not tell who was there, except Dave Miller. Eats, bonnets, ribbons, styles! There never has been such a display of mili nery in Medford. I would like to da scribe them all (about five hundred 1 think) but my vocabulary is too limited. "Pap" Brooks was resplendent in a white sailor hat decorated with the discarded ornaments of a Plymouth Rock, and received the booby prize. Rev. Fenton wore a sweet love of a bonnet which won the first prize as the finest trimmed in the house, but some on told me that someone else told them, that somebody else said that a certain young lady had been teaching him how to trim that hat for a week. Well, ifyou don't wish to laugh and think it is awfully silly to have fun, don't attend the nest social these ladies give. In the language of Patrick Henry, "Give me fun or give me physic." One of ths Ckowd. Messrs. Mounce & Schermerhorn, as confectioners, are cutting, as the Irishman says, "a broad wide" in their line of business in Medford. Their latest invoice af candies, fruits and cigars is unquestionably one of the largest and choicest ever brought to this city they are simply immense. An Unnecessary Luxury. In speaking of the abuses in the man agement of Oregon's financial affairs the Eugene Guard has this regarding the state printer and the railroad com missioners which offices help materi ally to swell the expenses of the state. Of the office of state printer the Guard says: During the fiscai years 1SS7 and 1SSS the office cost the state 33,000. For 1S93 the expense to the state was swol len to the enormous sum of $196,000. Reports of all kinds of the merest bosh have been printed by the state printer at the expense of the taxpayer. The ornamental railroad commission had a book of 800 pages printed filled with rubbish of all sorts. For instance if John Jones should have a SI 0 calf killed by a Southern Pacific locomotive he might write to the railroad commission for aid to recover the value of the de ceased calf in the coin of the realm. ! The board through it3 S2cretary would j write Air. ivoiuer. mat gentleman would courteously address the board promising to investigate; if he was dil atory tha board would again write, and finally Mr. Jones would get his money. All this correspondence is printed, taking up several pajea of the report, with the result that Mr. Jones' $10 calf cost the state of Oregon about So'). There is no reason why children hould be allowed to suffer from loath some scrofulous sores and' glandular swellings when such a pleasant, eSect ive, and economical medicine as Ayer's Sarsaparilla may be procured of the nearest druggist. Be sure you get Ayer s. A Success Si 5.30 Worth. Last Friday evening was the date upon which the ladies Benevolent So ciety gave their "fire bell"' social. It was given in the opera house and a good crowd was in attendance. The ladies didn't promiss anything in the way of an entertainment, but they sur prised those fortunate in being present by announcing a literary and musical program which was composed of a solo by Mrs. A. S. Foster, instrumental music by Miss Maysie Foster, recita tion by Robert Galloway, two solos by Miss Grace Foster, a recitation each by Pearl Webb, Percy DeGroot and Ev erett Geary, and the entire program interspersed with music by the public school band. With the names of the above on a program it is unnecessary to state that the entertainment fur nished was an interesting one. The proceeds of the evening were $13.30, which will ba turned over to the fire bell fund . The fire company and all citizens are, or at least ought to be, under great obligations to the Benevo lent Society for their efforts to secure .for us that much needed article. Messrs. Gibbs & Wheeler, the pho tographers, are now prepared to exe cute the best of work in any and" all lines of photographing. Their cabinet photos, as well as all outside work, such as buildings, orchards, stock, etc., is a prime article and while the work is especially good the prices are ex ceedingly low and within the reach of all, hard tima prices for flush time work. Located on North D street, near Mrs. Brous' residence, Medford, Oregon. Deserves What He Asks. Ike Williams, the mail carrier be tween Central Point and Eagle Point, was in Medford Saturday soliciting signatures to a petition asking the county court to reimburse him for the loss of a horse which was drowned a week ago last Saturday while Mr. Williams was fording Bear creek. The amount asked, for is $100. While it comes pretty tough for the county to pay another bill accruing through tho neglect of the county court there is no question but that Mr. Williams is en titled to pay for the damages thus sus tained. During the high waters of Awards;! Highsst Honors-World' only Pure Cream of Tartar T 5 of Zloszes early winter one span of the bridge across Bear creek at that point was swept away and as yet remains unre paired. The county court has known of the damage to th3 bridge for some time but have done nothing toward having it repaired, and the loss to Mr. Williams is the result of this negli gence. This is another positive proof of the very inefficiency of tho manage ment of county affairs. Wanted: Three to five acres of good land, with running water on it, and not over three miles from Medford. Inquire at this office. Kill the Festive Microbes. With the approach of "ethereal mildness," it is meet that Modfordites should turn their thoughts not lightly but seriously to the piles of garbage that bedeck the alleyways of tho city, with a view to burning tho same. Within these pilos of rubbish tho fes tivo microbe has his lair, and experi ence loaches us that tho only way to confine his disease-breeding proclivi ties is to burn him. Uuder the warm rays of our Italy sun the microbe con stituency multiply even faster than roses in Juno. Given one or two sun's rays and a microbe can, if ho is feeling well, duplicate himself with a greater rapidity and with less effort than the thriftiest thistle that ever matured on Canadian soil. And thoro is nothing slow about the baccillus except his ex termination. To prevent these proud scions of the ancient house of micro organism from getting in their best licks on the human family it is essen tial to health to fire them that is, burn them. "For a long time I suffered with stomach and liver troubles, and could find no relief until I began to use Ayer's Pills. I took them regularly for a few months, and my health was completely restored." D. V. Baine, New Berne, N. C. Want the Stock Yards Removed. J. W. Hockersmith has boon circu lating a petition about the city and surrounding country procuriug signers asking tho S. P. company to remove the stock yards from their present site to a point further north and near tho distillery. Ha procured about 300 names and last week sent the same to the man in charge of this line of work for the S. P. The object in asking for its removal to a more excluded spot is to do away with the now existing ne cessity of driving stock through some of the principal streets of the city to reach the yards. There is some doubt expressed regarding the company's taking action in the matter as peti tioned as it is understood that they have already formulatod plans for en larging the yards and upon the grounds now occupied. L. B. Warner, the fruit tree man, has trees on hand to supply the trade of Medford and vicinity, in any quan tity and in the following varieties: Apple, pears, cherries, apricots, peach es, prunes and soft shelled almond. Mr. Warner may be found at Dr. Od gers dental rooms. Can't be a Mason, Nohow. The Masons are much amused at the claim of Mrs. Mary Lease, of Kansas, that she is practically a member of that order. Mrs. Lease will have to change her sex before she can become a Mason. If she is in possesssion of any portion of the rituals, she got it clandestinely. That part of her pronunciamento that she wears a Knight Templar charm, with the keystone and other insignia of the order, means nothing, because these emblems are for sale, and any one can buy them, and there is no law against wearing them. She can organ ize any thing she pleases and call it what she likes, but no order of Masons in the United States, Canada or Europe will recognize it, and the members pf her lodge will have to flo":k by them selves. Prichard, the jeweler, is selling watches from ?2 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. Busy, Bustling Medford. The old-time activity, peculiar to the days pf sunshine and dry roads, has again spread itself broadcast over this particular portion of the Great Rogue river valley. Our farmer friends have unfurled their sails for a year of hard work and we hope one of profit; the streets of our city are thronged with anxious buyers and a duplicate of last year's prosperity is promised. The whirligig of business is whirling and giggling as of yore and a glad smile bedecks us all. Great is spring and its iuyigorating ozone; but greater still are the beauties of the orchards, mead ows and flower gardens of the valley of the Great Rogue. Medford nursery will not be under sold. Petite prunes a specialty, also cherries, peaches, plums, pears, apri cots, almonds, grapes and small fruits. One mile east of Medford. Trees de livered free to any part of the city. A Pleasant Easter Party. A pleasant number of friends gath ered at the hospitable home of Geo. W. Galloway last Sunday, the occasion be ing an Easter dinner. The party con sisted of Mr. and Mrs. Sutter, Mr. and Mrs. Thoias and daughter. Mrs. Brad ley, Master Loss, Miss Mollie and little Otto, Dr. and Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Ma goun and Mrs. West. All who have ever enjoyed tho kind and generous liberality of this home, will attest to the fact that none have a better under standing of tho art of entertaining. & t? a -St. z? a a T'owder.

Pritchard, tho Medford jeweler, is not promising to give his goods away but he is selling thorn as cheap as thoy are being sold in Jacksonville. George's Two Speeders. George Davis has purchased the trotting stallion "Mistletoe" from J03. Poley. on Griffin creek. The horse is of Hambletonian stock, is seven years old, and is said lo bo very fleet of foot. When two years old Mistletoe trotted a mile in 2:5-l but sinco then has not been ''tracked." Mr. Davis is also the owner of "Chief," a very promising colt, and which, it will be rcmoni bored , took first money in a number of races in tho two-year-old class last yaar. George is evidently working into a class of horses, which, if good judg; ment and careful handling count,- will net him good money one of these days. Did you notice Wolter's show windows'?" They are beauties, and if as much taste is displayed in buying gopds as is noticeable in his window decora tions it is little wonder he is popular Wolters, tho grocer, keeps the best and sells easonable. Puts Dollars In Their Pockets. Atttr all things aro said and done, both for and against J. W. Hocker smith, there is no dodging tho faet that ho has put many dollars into the farmers' pockets in the Rogue river valley during the past year. He has shipped seventy-three carloads of stock from this point to San Francisco and Portland markets during tho last twelve months and if this don't make him a public benefactor then wo are shy of the- combination that would make one. This is not intended for a political boom, but it's simply a cour tesy due any man who has the huslliug propensities that Joe possesses. Anyone wanting to purchase any thing in tho way of men's dress or working gloves will find it to their in terest to call at The Fair, and exam ine their stock before purchasing elso where. Smith's Abstract Company. V. Smith was over from Jacksonville Saturday visiting his several friends. The gentleman, together with his wife, is now at work preparing a full set of county abstracts. The -company, of whom Mr. Smith is the man, is called the Jacksoa County Abstract Company, with oif.ees temporarily at ! Jacksonville.

Harford, state secre tary for tho W. C. T. U., lectured at the M. E. church in Medford last Mon day wojk, in tho interest of tho Union, and preached in the evening at the same place. The lady is of the Friends, or Quaker, faith. She preached again Thursday evening following. ' The lec ture and religious services wero well attended and all have words of compli ment for the lady, both as a public speaker and an earnest workor in . the interest of the cause she espouses. "Discount" is a word that catches all eyes. When these eyes have seen our gent's woolen goods and you learn of our 2o j)er cent discount we will catch the buyers. T. M. Muller, tho corner grocer.

He is inexperiencsd in raining but good fortune seem3'to smilo upon him at every turn of the lane. If any body was to ask you for the best hat to buy for the money, you couldn't, and be honest to yourself and friends, tell them to buy any other hat than the Stetson Wolters keeps them. Sues for Big Honey. The San Francisco Examiner of last Saturday has this regarding Thos, Fitch, a brother of Attorney Fitch, of this city, and who has himself boon stopping, until quite recently, in Med ford for somotime: "Thos. Fitch, Jr., who acted as a financial manager for tho McDonalds in Chicago during tho winter of 18D2-93, is about to bring suit in the federal courts against the Pacific bank and -the California raisin and fruit-growing association for $12,750, which ho claims is due him for services rendered.
