MS OF THE CITY.
The Fourth of July was anything
but an eventful day in Medford. There
was a scattered appearance about the
city, many of our people having gone
to Ashland and Gold Hill to join with
the good people of these two places in
festivities suited to our independence
day. About one hundred people went
over to the Rogue river and spent the
day pienieing. Nearly all the picnicers
started early in the day and reached
the grounds before the heat became in
tense, and returned late in the after
noon and early evening. At the
grounds hammocks were swung in the
delicious shade near the river bank and
were generously occupied by the ladies
and children. A splendid dinner, with
ice cream and lemonade accompani
ments, was served about eleven o'clock
and later oa the lunch baskets were
served darned mean by being robbed
of the remainder of their contents.
Some of the gentlemen fished while
others went gunning, and still others
ran foot races and shot at targets in
the latter sport the ladies indulged.
Dr. Adkins caught a number of small
fish, Prof. Narregltn caught one quite
large one, and the rest of the boys just
got the fun of fishing without realizing
the pleasure of even a bite. Horace
Nicholson aroused himsjlf by getting up
several boxing contests between mem
bers of the ant household. At Ashland
the bicycle race was won entirely by
Medford riders. Day Parker took first
money, $10; John Redfield second, $6,
and TJ. X. Damon, third, $3. In the
foot race Medford took all the stakes :
asrain Jas. Bates, first money, $5; C.
O. Cranfil, second, $3. At Gold Hill
Geo. Parker took first money, $5. in a
bicycle race, and Mort Foster second,
82.50. The horse race at this place
was won by Roan Nellie, owned by R.
Baber, of Grants Pass, purse $60, all to
first. Bay Cap, owned by Mr. Panky,
of Central Point, and Dolly B, owned
by John Harnmcrsley, were also con
testants in this race. Bay Cap was sec
ond, and Dolly B third.
Warm weather is very close onto

" The school board has chosen the
teachers for next year's term of school
fn the Medford public schools. Prof.
N. L. Xarregan for principal, Miss
Elva Galloway, assistant principal;
Miss Delia Pickel, sixth grade: Miss
M. A. Crouch, fifth grade; Miss Bur
tell, fourth grade; Miss Minnie "Wor
man, third grade; Miss Viola Brandon,
second grade, and Miss Minnie Cole
man, primary and kindergarten.
Three of the above named teachers are
new to the schools this year. Miss
Gallowavis a daughter of our much
respected townsman, Frank Galloway:
Miss Crouch is a daughter of another I
-89 1 -our worthy townsmen, B. F.
Croucb, atKTHji
fcu engaged in teach-
mg in Klatnata. countv "for sometime, r
Miss Brandon is a Salem lady. The
board feel that they have made a very j
trnnA slrtmn find that tho schools in I
their hands will not lose unv of their J tho principal business portion and neur
heretofore redeeming features as model ! a11 reUil patronage was thereby cut
will be noticed that seven teachers are J
engaged for this year instead of six,
the number engaged last year. The
growth in our school population made
the addition compulsory. The rooms
were all full last year, but to accomo
date all who atteud this year another
school room is to be fitted up in a part
of the building basement. Clerk Jones
is now at work arranging all deiails for
the commencement of school, about the
first or middle of September. One fea
ture in connection with the continued
success of our schools is that nearly all
teachers employed hold state certifi
cates, or have papers entitling them to
such certificates.
No prospector s outfit is complete
without a miner's glass, a gold watch
and a gold ring. Pritchard has solid
gold watches from $10 to $40, and other
articles in proporuon.
During the sugar famine in Med
ford this week some of our merchants
jrara obliged to borrow this necessary
commodity fom Jacksonville and Cen
tral Point dealers. Soma of our resi
dent consumers of this saccharine
substance also visited Jacksonville in
person and were accommodated to the
extent of their wants in this line.
Through some source th report be
eame current hereabouts that Messrs.
"White, Reames & Co., believing that
they had a corner on sugar, had put
the price up to an exorbitant figure
find were unduly taking advantage of
the existing unfortunate condition of
affairs. This report, however, is de
nied by the above firm in a letter to
this paper, and we gladly devote space
to right a wrong which has been done
these people. In their letter they say:
f 'We have only a few sacks of sugar on
hand ard the highest price charged,
yhere we have gold by the sack, was
$6.75. "

The Mail, was most fortunate last
week in having a bicycle rider, Geo. S.
Parker, as one of its employes. The
tie-up of trains was complete before we
could gat to press, Thursday afternoon,
hence the enly way to reach ' our sub
scribers was by carriers. Mr. Parker
and his bicycle were brought into ser
vice, and he was dispatched Friday
afternoon to Central Point and Gold
Hill, with the papers for these points
and all postoffices on stage routes out
from these places. It was our inten
tion to send him to Woodville, but even
a. good rider and an Imperial wheel

carried was about one hundred pounds.
The time occupied in making the run
and return, a distance of 24 miles, in
cluding a thirty.minuto stop at Central
Point and fifty-four minutes at Gold

It needs to bo a very tropical day
when Ben Webb fails to create a round
of amusement out at his place. Whon
he don't get his pedal extremities glued
solid in a pair of gum boots, with
cement, there is something else coming
up. Last week his driving horse
turned himself loose from the stable
and made sad havoc of the shrubbery
growing on the lawn. The animal was
chased seven hundred and eighty-three
times around the houses by a small dog
about as big as a copper cent, live-cent
nickel or a dollar piece, and th3 last
turn he made landed squarely in a new
dug cellar; kicked the gable end out
of the cellar wall and uprooted the
concrete floor and escaped uninjured.

It is hardly necessary totate that
Mr. Hockersmith did not make his
stock shipments last Monday. A Mr.
Pullman, residing in one of Chicago's
suburban towns, and his hired man, sort
o' got a notion into their heads to scrap
and that's why Hockersmith didn't
ship his stock. Chicago is over 3,000
miles from Medford, but distance don t
cut any figure in this case. Mr. H.,
however, last Saturday started a drove
of thirteen head of horses for San Fran
cisco, expecting to drive them the en
tire distance.
A splendid stock of xew millinery
is now on sale at the new store of Mrs.

Singular how utterly and altogether

and without ownors. And it often hap
pens that the flower thieves are not
content with taking the blossoms as
booty, but they break down the shrub
bery and de.troy tho bush that bears
the blossoms.

thirty of his young friends present
from Medford and a very enjoyable

happy one for tho little folks, and we
will wager that they succeeded.

An Important Ruling.
Assistant Superintendent Vnille, of
the railway mail service is in possession
of a very important opinion from the
department Of justice at Washington,
which boars directly upon the question
of just what constitutes an interference
with United States mails while in the
possession of public carriers. The opin
ion was delivered by Acting Attorney
General Lawraneo Maxwell, jr., April
21, 1S94, during the Great Northern
strike, and is supported by the decisions
of several prominent judges in well
known cases. It reads as follows:
"Sir: I have tho honor to acknowl
edge tho receipt of your comnuinfPation
of to-day relating to the stoppage of
passenger trains carrying tho mails on
tho Great Northern railway. The stat
utes of tho United States provide that
'every railroad carrying the mail shall
carry on any trains which may run over
its route all mailable matter directed to
be carried thereon with the person in
charge of the same.' Tho statutes also
make it an otTensu for any person to
'knowingly and willfully obstruct or re
tard the passage of the mail.' It has
been decided by the courts, and in my
opinion is clearly tlio law, that under
these provisions of the statutes it is an
offence for any person knowingly and
willfully to obstruct or retard the pass
age of a train carrying the mail, and
that it is no excuse that su :h person is
willing that the mail-car may be de
tached and run soperatelv. ne is
bound to permit the mail to be carried
in the usual uud ordinary way, such as
is contemplated by the act of congress
and directed by the postmaster-general.
It would seem from your statement that
the persons who have entered into the
combination to which you refer (the
American Railway Union ; have brought
themselves within tho further provis
ions of the United States statutes.
which declare that 'if two or more per
sons conypire to commit au offense
against the United Stales, and one or
more of such parties do anv act to
effect the object of the conspiracy, all
the parties to tho conspiracy shall he
liable to a penalty of not less than 31O00
and not more than 310.tx.l0, and to im
prisonment ol not mure than two
vears.' "

Notes and Reflections.
BY K.
The "street" on the morning of the
thirtieth of June contained some ex
cited K-ople, generally denouncing the
railroads and some almost shedding
tears in iheir apparently deep sympa
thy with oppressed railroad employes.
A few joined issue and essayed to de
fend the corporations, but such were
popularly supposed to be secretly mil
lionaires or their ageuts, acd were
promptly silenced.
One sympathizer declared that cor
porations and capitalists wore "born
oppressors" and despots and were con
tinually plotting to lay unbearable
burdens upon the children of labor, or,
as he expressed it, the "poor (pitiable)
laboring man," who was cor.- rising in
his outraged manhood to assort his
equal Interest in the institution, for,
"did he not create the whole by the
labor of his own right hand'"'
Another friend of strikers averred
that the laborer was ground into the
durt and that wages were uol enough
to warn away the "wolf" aud naked
ness. A third represented that the corpo
ration had made him a pjor man aud
that slock must heieafter bj driven to
market, notwithstanding he disap
proved of strikers molesting the ""road"'
or non-union men who desired to work.
Two took us aside to explain that a
striker was cot an anarchist and that
scholarship must not confound the
terms.
The majority seemed to think that
the corjHjrations and capital were get
ling merited punishment.
A gentleman from the mountains',
who was also treasurer for a school
dilrict, remarked that two of his
neighbors had exulted in the strike
and hoped the movemeul would soon
come U general plundering: "and,""
said ho, "would you approve of my
going over to Jacksonville on Monday
to resign and thus rid myself of the
risk?'" The answer was, "Do so by all
means, for countenances are sinister
and the air is full of rapine and blood
shod." Three clerics came upon the scene,
one of whom "passed by on the other
side," and did not even seem to realize
by even a look that a '"neighbor"' had
fallen upon evil days. Another laughed
with the words, "The oppressed are in
arms and monopoly will get its Water
loo," and passed on to his tents over
the brook. A third tried to bind up
the wounds and to pour on oil, but ap
peared to have indifferent success.
While on the home stretch a worthy
pastor was encountered to whom quoth
the reporter, "Dominie, have you
heard of the boycott?" "Aye, that
have I." replied he. "Do you advise
any receipt for healing tho case?" was
then demanded. "Not one iota: forj
that purpose the brain is as empty, dry
and barren as a hatched eggshell.''
We departed our various ways, but the
soliloquy spontaneously arose: ."Wise
dominie: surelv tomorrow will we
listen to tho droppings from a sanctu1
ary whero standeth the cleric who
does not profess to have a panacea for
evorv 111 to which flesh is htir!"' So
thinking, so doing, we wended our way
to the meeting house where a hand
some head and beautiful hair evoked
more notice than common; and the con
gregation was larger than usual.
