MS OF THE CITY.
Just as long as grass grows and the
world moves round, there will be young
man of jolting proclivities, and just so
long aa these bojs joke, just so often
are tbey liable to be caught at it. There
are a few boys of a funny turn of mind
up near Poenix, or at least there were
s few. It has been their practice, as
related by one of the neighbors, to
clothe themselves in sheets and pillow
cases and do the ghost act in the still
hours of night, much to the discom
fiture of pedestrians. One night quite
recently they round one young man
who was not afraid even of ghosts. He
was out walking with a young lady,
when of a- sudden, and at a time when
his thoughts were doubtlessly a lonjj
way from the white ehroudad mythical
inhabitants of graveyards, there ap
peared before them two forms encased
in sheets and pillow oases. .The young
lady did just what the ghosts figured
both she and the young man would do
turn and flee down the road, but the
ytfung man was very gamey" . and in
stead of running he reached into his
hip pocket and produced what the
ghosts thought to be a revolver, but
which in reality was only a pipe. This
he shoved very close to the head part
of the ghosts and demanded that they
hold up their hands. The bands went
up and then they were asked their
names, which . were given with" trem
bling voices, interwoven with much
knocking together of knees. After
several rounds of interrogatory and
they had been given an opportunity to
gaze into the muzzle of a double-barreled
pipe, they were told to right
about ace and march. It is needless
to say that they marched and that
Phcenix is now shy just two ghosts.
The neckwear that Prendergast
wore a few weeks ago is not the kind

The proposed new features of the
fair ought to add much additional in
terest to it. "Children's School Day,"
the "Military Drill" and the "Daily
Action" are features never heretofore
mbraced in the fair programs and
ought to make the coming fair one of
unusual interest. The exhibit this
year should be one. of the best ever
witnessed in Southern Oregon. Crops
of all kinds are good, and our farmers,
not only as a matter of pride, but as a
most valuable advertisement to the in
dustries of the country, should see to it
that the fair is a success. There is no
method of advertising the productive
possibilities of a section like placing
upon exhibit its actual products.

Death of Mrs. E. W. Ogan.
While the-death of Mrs. Ogan, which
occurred last Sunday ovening, was not
unexpected, it brought a gloom of sor
row to the hearthstones of many Med
ford homos and to the relatives a
sorrow deeper than all others on earth,
a sorrow the depth of which we 'can re
alize bat once in a lifetime when the
nows, "Mother is dead," is giyen us.
Mrs. Ogan had been in poor health for
some months past. The nature of her
trouble, that of cancer, was known
for only a few days prior to her
death. The ndvisability'oi an operation
was discussed among relatives and
physicians, Messrs. Pickel.and Gcnry,
and as it was decided that life could
not be of more than a few months' dura
tion without the operation, and these
months sure to be very painful, tho
cancer was removed on Thursday of
last week aud for a couple of days indi
cations seemed favorable for the pa
tient's recovery, -but owing to her age
aud uot overly strong constitution she
began to decline and all medical as
sistance was powerless to avert the
malady. ,
Mrs. Ogan, whose maiden name was
Eunice Wood RicharddOn, tv&s bom in
Ohio in 18:1. When quite young she
moved to Iowa, and when eighteen
years of age she was married to L. D.
Hamilton, and in 1853 they crossed the
plains for California, in which state
they lived for many years. Ten chil
dren were born of this .union, eight of
whom are still living. In May, 1ST",
death entered this happy home and
took away a loving and kind husband.
A few years later deceased was mar
ried to J. M. Ogan, of Sao Joso, Cali
fornia. In 1SS4 the couple moved to
Medford, Oregon, and here mado their
home for six years, after which they
returned again to San Joja, where one
year ago last May the home was a seo
ond time mado husbandless by the
death of Mr. Ogan. Last Juno deceased
came to Medford, intending to make
her home with her sons, I. L. and L. S.
Hamilton. Deceased was 'sixty-three
years of age and fur many years had
been a good, faithful follower of tho
teachings of Christ, and was a member
of tho Christian church. She was a
lady whose whole life interests were
centered upon the general good and
upbuilding of her homo and children.
Funeral services were held at the
grave, Monday afternoon of this week,
and were attended by a groat number
of sympathizing friends. Rev. White,
pastor of tho Christian church, con
ducted the services. Interment was
mado in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
ThU Fellow, He Flew.
It will bo remembered that some sev
eral weeks ago one Paul Valmar was
arrested in Medford for the theft of
some jewelry from F. W. Waschnu.
He had a hearing and was held to awnit
the action of the grand jury. He
waited several weeks, but Thursday
night of last week he d, cided he
wouldn't wait anv longer, and be just
naturally took his departure for the
tall timber when there wasn't anyone
looking.
Valmar bad until quite recently been
kept closely confined in the steel cage,
but since the recent warm weather he
bud been allowed the freedom of the
main room of the jail. His only com
panion in the jail was Bernard O'Brien,
who will soon be discharge! and who
'tis thought had no finger in arranging
the escape. Tho manner in which he
made his escape is truly an interesting
one and well calculato-i to deceive the
jailer. He had gotten hold of a small
rope which he fastened around a leg of
the chair in bis cage and passed one
end of it through the bars to the outer
room. When Jailer Keegan, at about
dusk, went to lock his prisoners in
their cells for the night, he called at
Vul mar's cell to know if he was in, but
insttad of answering he pulled his
rope and moved tho chair in the cell.
The jailer, naturally supposing all was
rint, turned tne Key and made nis
regular round of the outfr room. To
escape being detected while this was
being done the prisoner had -unfiled
his feet with his underclothes, and, it
is presumed, moved around the room
just ahead of the jailer, the room bing
so dark be could uot have seen mm
had he known be was there. After
tho jailer had passed out of the build
ing the prisoner Dcgan tne woric 01
further freeing himself. He had pre
viously found in the jail an old hasp
from one of the doors, which ho used
to good advantage. With it the out-
sido door jamb was pried off, which
gave him easy access to the door bolt
which was quickly loosened and bo
walked out into the court yard a free
man.
The discovery of his midnight taking
off was not made until about six o'clock
Friday morning. Sheriff Patterson
was absent at the time, but Deputy
Sheriff Bttrncs proceeded at ones to
send out hunting parties, and for n
while made the wires hot between
Jacksonville and points both north and
south, notifying officers to keep an eye
out for the escaped prisoner, Valmar
is about thirty-tive years old, dark
complexion, dark hair tinged with
cray, nose broken, noigm 11 vo leet and
seven inches, gray eyes.-
As we co to press. Inursday noon.
no trace has been found of him. He is
more than probable a good safe dis
tance into California by this time.
Lateii Wednesday morning Saher-
iff Patterson stated that bo bad infor
mation that Valmar had been seen in
Klamath county, but ho hud received
no advices as to pis exact location,
however ho has offered $25 reward to
any person who will capture and hold
him prisoner uutil he can lay bold of
him.
The Lights Do Shine.
The Medford Electric Company
started the wheels to rolling Tuesday
evening, and the incandescent lights
were turned on. w nile 01 course one
incandescent light, or even two, is
hardly equal to a fifty or sixty candle
nnwnr coal oil' lamn. thev are crivin?
out all the light which their capacity
calls for sixteen candle i.ower. In
many instances too much has been ex
pected of the new lights. This, how
ever, we hope will be righted by the
addition of another Durner, perhaps
two, to some of the larger stores. Tub
Mail, still holds that electric lights
are fur preferable to coal oil lumps,
but we must not expect too much, even
of the electric lights. Lot us reason
well before we pass judgmeut, and
further, let us give them a fair trial.
A light that has been admitted to be
superior to all others, in nearly all
cities of the world, cannot fall to be
eoually as superior in Medford. The
arc lights will probably be running by
Monday night. ., ..
