Last Saturday was circus day in
Medford. There was a good crowd
present at the morn in? parade and the
attendance at the afternoon and even
ing' performance was exceptionally
large for this valley. Probably about
a thousand tickets were sold for both
performances. The parade was far
above the average in both length and
quality. There were two brass bands,
one white and one coloied, and good
music was rendered. In the afternoon
the ring performance was exceptionally
good. The tumbling and trapeze work
and horse back riding was first-class.
The menagerie was small but good and
well kept. All in all there was no
reason for complaint from those who
attended, considering the fact that the
admission price was only four bits.
The employes were orderly and attend
ed strictly to business, and we have not
heard of a chicken bouse or tcitcuen
that suffered by the circus' coming.
-There were, as a matter of course, the
regulation skin games going on about
the show grounds, but for those who
will deliberately walk up and "blow"
their money on another man's game,
after having been repeatedly warned to
t n. i i : . . i
Keep away irom mciu, wo iihid
sympathy. We have heard of some
few who were loosers by these games,
but the winners are scarce. Even this
experience will not teach them the les
son it ought to and the next opnortuni
ty that is offered, ten to one they will
. try it again. .
The neckwear that Prendergast
wore a few weeks ago is not the kind
you are looking after. While that style
is becoming quite fashionable it is not
much sought after bis was just a plain
rope, while mine are the flues t of silk
and satin, and some liuen and cotton
for su rmer wear. Wolters, the gro
cer. For some time the necessity of bor
ing a well in the Odd Fellows cemetery
has been seen on all sides, but not until
quite recently nave iue newiuus auu
Odd Fellows felt themselves able to
undertake a project of this nature. At
the last meeting of Olive Rebakan
lodge the members decided to donate
$50 for this purpose. Following them
came the Odd Fellows with a donation
of another $50, making $100 in all. It
it is proposed to bore the well and case
the same with iron piping,, and while
the amount thus far raised is insuffi
cient to complete the well, inasmuch
as it is desired to go quite a depth, the
two lodges hope to be able to raise an
amount from outside parties to com
plete it, several having expressed their
willingness to donate. Should tbe
lodges be successful in getting the weli
bored this season, another spring they
will out up a large tank and windmill.
As the cemetery is located on a quite
high piece of land, the ground dries
out very quickly after the spring rains
and it is almost impossible, as some
know, to keep flowers and shrubbery
growing anv length of time during the
summer. With- nlenty of water at
hand the cemetery can be made a veri
table flower garden and'. shaded by
evergreens.
Gloves look well when worn by
gentlemen and when not out of place.
A farm hand can wear trloves and do it
with easy grace and dignity, provided
he buys those easy fitters, long wearers
and good lookers sold by Wolters. A
fine stock of the very best gloves and
cheap.
Last Monday Drs. Geary and Pick

very delicate operation upon tbe per"

. pit and nnder the shoulder blade and
involved both the superficial and deep
axillary glands, which had to ba re
moved. The incision made was about
fourteen inches in length and owing
to the close connection of the. diseased
glands to the large blood vessels and
nerves under the arm, it was a most
ormidable operation. It required the
greatest of skill to perform the ops ra
tion and a goodly sprinkling of nerve
to tackle it, but' it was a case which
would have been beyond tbe reach
pi eveq-the skilled hands of these emi
nent and well schooled physicians- and
surgeons in a sho-t time. The patient
s doing very nicely at present and will
undoubtedly eniicftrj recover. The
r-was performed at tne resi
dence of W. J. Fredenburg, at whose
place the lady is stopping.. ..

Sort of fakirs, but there is one now
traveling up through the Willamette
valley who takes the cake.' This
fellow sticks his body full of pins and
then drinks about four gallons of water
for the general edification of a crowd.
For thus making a human pincushion
of himself the fakir always passes
around the hat. However, , he - excites
more disgust than he collects nickels."
The fellow spoken of above, who punc
tures his person with pins, was in
Medford last Friday. After disgusting
bis audience with his gluttonous appe
tite for water, and a decided murder of
. tbe queen's English "xhis yer act"
he still further repulsed them by driv-
- ing pins through his ears, cheeks and
into his arms. His collection was
eighty-four cents just that much more
than he deserved.

Both women were considerably injured
and for a time it was thought seriously
so. Medical assistance was immediate

easily. Miss Armstrong is now almost
entirely recovered, but Mrs. Miller is
still quite ill. The buggy was pretty
badly wrecked no damage to horses.

will give an ice cream and cake social
at the opera house to-Light, Friday.
Fifteen cents for cream and cake.
Everybody is invited and it's reasonable
to presume that many will attend and
help the good ladies in 'their church
efforts. We have many of us turned in
and dropped our nickels and dimes in
the coffers of the other churches during
the past few months, and as this is the
first opportunity we have had to con
tribute toward the Christain Church it
is but fair that we do so and treat 'em
all alike.

'. To show up the cussedness which
is tied up in some people let us cite
that last Sunday night someone, com
ing from the direction of Jacksonville,
as the wagon tracts indicated, entered
the bay field on tho Hanley ranch
where Spence Ctilders was engaged
in putting up hay and deliberately
hitched to his hay derrick and pulled
it to the ground. All day Monday was
given up to replacing the derrick by
Mr. Childers. If little acts of the

laree Deaehes as we have seen grown
in this valley were brought to this

MAYOR HASK1NS' IDEAL STORE.
The Palatial Abode of Drugs, Drug
Sundries, Pills and Patent
Medicines.
That Medford people are admirers of
things beautiful is evideuced by the
many kindly and pleasant remarks
passed by them upon the general ap
pearance of Mayor Haskins' now and
very neat drug store. TnE Mail
would not be considered as extending
its share of admiration, if we wore not
to make especial mention of this new
institution. Through the courtesy of
Mr. Haskinsa Mail reporter was given
some few points, Tuesday evening, as
to the general dimensions of tbe build
ing, and a few other notes, from which
wo are enabled to give a few well da
served lines of compliments.
Tbe building is situated on Seventh,
or Main street, iu tho vory center of
our rapidly growing young city, and is
4xSU feet in size and two stories blgn.
It is a brick sturucture and most
beautiful to look upon. The main
room below is 24x00 feet. In this
salesroom is found a complete set
of drug store fixtures which aro truly
beauties. The wood work is wholly
made from the very choicest of sugar
pine lumber. Tho shelving, on either
side, is of about the regulation height
but instead of being pulled up at a
short halt at tho top there are hand
curved wood mountings, which, to the
artistic eye, cannot fail to produce an
effect pleasing aud lasting . Under the
base of tho shelves are both small and
large drawers, and still underneath
these are a series of doors which open
into small cupboards... wherein are
stored goods not of every-day demand.
All this work is ornamented with band
carvings, but the finest pieco of work
munship is not displayed until the
counters aro sten. There are six of
them, and wo will veuturo the asser
tion that on them' is executed the best
and most artistic wood-work in South
ern Oregun, yes, and we have our
doubts about tlicre being their equal in
Oregon, not excepting Portland. They
are hand carved throughout and the
panels mounted with bird's-eye maple.
All these fixtures aro done in natural
colors oiled and varnished. The work
entire was executed by Messrs. Weeks
Bros., and tho imprint of their excel
lent work is plainly inscribed on every
piece. The cost of the counters and
shelving a'.ono was just an even $400.
but tho work would be considered cheap
at 3000. At the rear of this room is a
twenty-foot store room in which is the
central office of the Rogue River Val
ley Telephone Company. The front of
the store is of French plate glass, the
panes bt ing 4xG inches in size.
At tbe side of thw main entrance is a
four-foot stairway leading to tho second
story. The steps and wainscouting arc
finished in oil aud in the step-risers are
set panes of French plate glass, which
uot only give a very noat and tidy ap
pearance to the outside but furnish
light to the store room underneath. On
tho secoud floor are five rooms. At
the front are two rooms. 12x17, and
back of these are two more rvoms,
12x15 feet in size, one of each front and
reur rooui9 being now occupied by Dr.
E. B. Pickel and Dr. E. P. Geary.
These rooms are nicely finished, are
light and pleasant and iu them are to
be found all the modern anpliunces of
the medical and surgical profession
lnrge, easy and convenient operating
chairs, cases of surrrieal instruments
and a large and weli selected library of
medical works. To each uf the offices
is furnished water from the city water
works, and also waste pipes from tbe
bath basins. Back of these offices is a
room 20x40 feet in size, which is rented
to the city council for their monthly
meetings, and in which is also City Re
corder Webb's and Justice Walton's
otiieea. It is a very convenient room
for the us-es to which it is put, and its
occupants are correspondingly happy,
In front of this ideal store is a fine
stone walk, the material used having
been quarried near this place. The
stone are laid in mortar and a pretty,
solid and very lasting walk is thus
made. Tho cost of tbe building com
plete was about $3500. Mr. H. is now
figuring on putting in an arc light in
his salesroom as soon as the electric
plant gets to running. .
Mr. Haskins has been in the drug
business in Medford for over ten years.
He started in a very modvst way, but
by tbe most strict attention to business
he has acquired a goodly amount of
this world's goods and is enjoying a
splendid trade.
Good For Farmers.
Whoat is now fifty cents per bushel
at Medford, and A. A. Davis is tho
gentleman paying that price.
The Central Point Fair.
September 4th is the day fixed for
the opening of the Southern Oregon
fair, at Central Point. It will continue
five days. Tbe people of southern Ore
gon bare been extolling our climate
and soil for years, and while we have
no ML Tacomn or Ranier to boast
about or wrangle over, we have our
serene and unchallenged "Italy of
America," and the biggest peaches and
apples on the coast and farm products
of all kinds to match; but how are tho
people of other sections to know these
statements to be true if we do not mako
some undoubted exhibition of our
boasts? So far as climate is concerned
we are always on dress-parade and can
be seen at any time; but in the matter
of agricultural resources it is different
we must show what we can do, and
the best moans of showing is at a gen
eral fair where people congregate ex
pressly to witness such exhibits., It
would be a tiresome and expensive job
to haul our products over the country
that they might be Been and the coun
try thus advertised; but we need not do
this we can place them on exhibition
at the fair, whero it costs nothing and
where we have a chance, at the same
time, of being awarded a premium on
them. Do not fail to attend tho fair,
and if you have anything you regard
as worthy lake it along aud thus help
to make up the' exhibit. Pavilion ex
hibits, unless expressly for advertising,
cost nothing.
