The well to be put down in the Odd
Fellows cemetery is now an assured
proposition, at least the Btarting of the
well and an effort to secure water is
assured. The trustees of Wedford
t Lodge, No. 83, 1. O. O. F., have closed
a contract with W. P. Dodge, the well
borer, and. Monday morning of this
week the machinery was put in place
' and Tuesday noon the work of boring
was commenced. - The spot selected by
the trustees, for the well, is at very
nearly the highest point in the ceme
tery and near the north fence. As to
the depth at which a sufficient amount
cf water will be secured, Mr. Dodge
thinks eighty or ninety feet will sup
ply the demand and is positive no
greater depth than one hundred and
fifty feet will be required, but pro
visions are made in the contract for a
greater depth even than two hundred
, feet. When a sufficient amount of
water shall have been supplied, a large
tank will be built either of redwood or
brick, a pump put in the well and a
windmill put up to pump the water.
The tank being placed at so high a
point, there will be no difficulty in pip
ing the water to all parts of the ceme
tery. Something over two hundred
.dollars has been raised for the purpose
. of carrying out this project, but this
amount-is hardly considered sufficient
to complete the work, and we are there
fore asked to say that if there are any
who have not donated, their subscrip
tions will be gratefully received. The
proposition is a most worthy one and
one in which we are all interested.
That it will be successfully carried out
is guaranteed by the gentlemen in
harge.
The ladies of the Methodist Epis
. copal church will give a Harvest Home
"supper at the Opera house, to-night.
Supper will be served from 5 to 8

under 10 years, 15 cents. Come every
body, get the full worth of your money
and help along a good cause.
A petition has been circulated and
juite generally signed by the business
men and citizens of Medford, asking
the city council to have an electric arc
light put up near the Bear creek
bridge. The petition will be presented
to the council at its next meeting, but
. what action will be taken is, of course,
not known. The necessity of a light at
this particular point cannot but be ad
mitted, and while every resident of the
ity is, or at least ought to be, in favor
of making the expense of the city as
light as possible, we believe none will
object to the addition if they will ac
quaint themselves with its necessity.
There is a great amount of foot as well
as team travel across this bridge, and
when the nights are dark and rainy it
Is a place of travel not wholly safe, as
a matter of fact is very dangerous. As
a matter of establishing a precedent
and encouraging petitions for lights
from other localities, there seems little
danger at present for this, as there is
not another unsafe place of travel in
the city.

Although Day Parker is not a
professional bicycle rider, and rides
only for his convenience and amuse
ment, he has made the fastest record
in the state, both upon the Central
Point and Grants Pass tracks. Upon a
.special invitation, and with a promise
that he would be provided with a
peedy racer, he attended the state
fair. But he soon discovered he was not
in It. He found that if he entered the
race and rode at all bis last chance
was a little sixty-four geared wheel,
while his most speedy rival had a
soventy-two geared wheel the latter
wheel having a vast percentage over
the former at each-revolution of the
pedal. - But our boy concluded to keep
the flies off tha Portland crack in at
least one chase, and ho did it in good
shape, being beaten by Hewitt only
about two feet. In the other races he
run simply because he was .entered,
making no pretensions for champion
ship, knowing that he could not possi-
bly overcome the advantage in the
wheels.
I am now prepared to roll barley

Sheriff Patterson made a double
play this week. After leaving Mrs.
Swacker at the insane asylum be went
on down to Oregon City, and took into
his custody one Loren Stowell, who
- was apprehended at that place for an
offense committed out at Eagle Point
last summer. The sheriff arrived here
with his prisoner Wednesday morning
and at ooee took him to the county jail.
Stowell is charged with forging the
name of Mrs. Elizabeth E.- Wooley to
an order on George Brown & bon, tne
Eacie Point merchants, and received
therefrom a saddle. Upon being ques
tioned by a Mail reporter the prisoner
admitted having forged the order and
with it bought the saddle.' Said he
was going to acknowledge the forgery
and hope for the leniency of the courts.
Stowell has lived about Eagle Point
. for some time and is a young man, not
more than twenty years old. A pre
liminary hearing was had Wednesday
afternoon and he was bound over to
await the action of the grand jury.
Two bits for a shirt is pretty cheap.
but so long as it is a good article-
worth twice that figure you of course
will want one, at Mailer's corner gro
cery. "As an illustration, says an ex
change, of how county fairs are demor
alized by the devotees ol horse racing,
we quote one county fair in Indiana
which offers about 11000 in purses for
horseraces, while the aggregate of its
premiums for fruit, including apples,
grapes, pears, peaches, plums and
.quinces, amounts to the munificent
sum of W.25!" Not until such time
when the management of fairs shall
have sensibly arrived at the con
clusion that horse racing is not the only
attraction at county or state fairs will
the exhibits of fruits and stock be an
interesting and profitable feature of
these now alleged annual snows. The
styles of Indiana, as stated above, are
finding able seconds right here in Ore
gon. The farmer and fruit grower
must be paid in premiums somewhere
near the actual cost of preparing the
exhibits before he will devote time and
monev in makinc them ready.

Tailor Fetsch attended the hay
sale out at the Hanloy ranch last Sat
urday, and but for the courtesy 01
friends he would have been compelled
to walk home. Ditto Henry Pohlraan.
Mr. Fetsch's horse broke loose irora its
mooring out at the ranch and started
for Medford. at which place it arrived
a few minutes later, but the buggy, it
didn't get here. It stopped by the
wayside, agaiust a tree, in a grove juat
west of Medford a total wreck. Mr.
Pohlman's equine parted its line about
the same time the other horse loosened
its mooring, and things were popping
generally thereabouts. Henry found
his horse at the Orenara liome gaw,
right side up and the cart only slightly
damaged.

Mrs. O. Swacker was brought to
Medford Saturday from Foots creek by
her husband and from here she was
taken to Jacksonville where she was
examined before the insanity board,
who adjudged her insane and Monday
she was taken to Salem by Sheriff Pat
terson, accompanied by her husband.
The unfortunate ladv had been deprived
of her reason by having taken medicine
in which it is alleged was a great
amount of opium. Her mind seemed
to have taken a relicious turn and this
subject occupied the greater part of
her attention. Medical men wno nau
examined her case were inclined to
think that the hallucination would
soon disappear with proper treatment.

The question of whether or no
there are coal deposits in the Rogue

in a manner quite flattering. Another
find has recently been made, to the

east of Medford. The gentleman who
has made this hnd, Mr. T. James, has
sunk a shaft and finds a three foot vein
of solid coal and a good article it is.
He is now working on another shaft
further up the hillside. Mr. Tolraan
is also sinking a shaft on his Rosy Ann
find. He has promised to resort the
result of his labors and we will give it

A citizen: "I want to state, and I

of Medford are largely indebted to The
Mail for the very liberal amount of
patronage they are receiving, particu
larly from people from a distance.
Those little mentions about people
being here trading and getting full
value for their money, have a tendency
to encourage others to come. The
merchants here bear you but in the
assertion that the farmers can save
money by trading in Medford."

As the chill of autumn weather
creeps about our hearthstone, and
the thinly clad hobo appears upon
the scene, it is meet that you hie

The witnesses in the Miner
land cases have all returned to their
respective homes, but tbe end is
not yet. During all this time six
weeks evidence in only oue case
has been taken, and there are up
wards of forty of them on for trial.
It was expected that the evidence in
one case would govern a dcision in
all others but it seems such is not
to be. The Roseburg Review of
Monday has this: "The attempt to
reach an agreement in the big tim
ber land contest was a failure, and
tbe suit still drags on."
We regret that we are called
upon this week to chronicle the
death of Mrs. Lavina R. Briggs.
wife of O. c. Bnggs, of this citv,
which occurred last Saturday, of
consumption. r uneral services
were held at the Baptist church on
Sunday and were conducted by Rev.
E. Russ. Mrs. Bricgs was fiftv-one
years of age, and bad been ill for
sometime. We are unable this
week to procure data for a more ex
tended mention of the demise of
this most estimable lad, but per
haps we will be able to do so later.
Medford's population is rapidly
increasing, and we are" all giad to
give this increase a hearty welcome
when such people as Mr. and Mrs.
F. V. Hutchison, Mr. and Mrs. Ws
Loiier and son, and Mr. and Mrs.
John Norris and daughter are in the
crowd. Thev all came on Wednes
day of this week and are from Den
ver, Indiana, and there were two
more families almost ready for a
start this wav when thev left. Mr.
and Mrs Hutchison are parents of
Merchant Hutchison, and Mrs. Loz-
ies is a sister of Mrs. J. Merlev.
They are all most estimable people
and that they have decided to stay
among us is why The Mail is elated
at their coming.
Wednesdav morning of this
week Attorney E. D. Briges, of
Ashland, came to Medford and
swore out a warrant before Justice
Walton for the arrest of E. J. Kai
ser, editor and publisher of the Val
ley Record, charging him with
criminal libel. The warrant was
placed in the hands of Constable
oo'.f, who went to Ashland and
brought Mr. Kaiser to Medford the
same afternoon. He was taken be
fore Justice Walton and had, the
case continued until caturaav.
at 10 o'clock a. m. It seems that
iti last week's Record, Kaiser, in
giving the proceedings of a petit
larceny trial, mentioned Attorney
Briggs' name in a manner very un
satisfactory to that person hence
the arrest. Mr. Kaiser claims to
be able to prove each and every
statement made, in which erent he
will of course, come clear. On
the other hand Mr. Briggs 6eems
equally confident of winning. A
large number of witnesses have
been subpoenaed and the case will
undoubtedly be an interesting ono,
owing to the prominence of the
parlies involved.
Death of firs. Beeson.

five years of age and was the wife of
the late Welborn Beeson.
Mrs. Bee son's death, says tbe Tid
ings, has not been unexpected by the
family and frionds since the character
of tbe disease which had attacked her
had booomo definitely known a tew
weeks ago. From that time to this it
has been a mere extenuation of life,
the ravages of the fearful disease being
satisfied only when- the spiritual bad
been released from the physieal wheu
the death call came. The funeral oc
curred on Friday evening at 4 o'clock.
Remarks at the grave were made by
W. J . Dean, who gave a short sketch
of her life. Mrs. Beeson was formerly
Miss Catherine Brophj, and was well

ley. Nearly thirty years ago she was
married to Welborn Beeson in this
county. Mr. Beeson died about a year
and a half ago. Eight children were
born to them, the youngest being five
years old now, two of the older chil
dren boing married.
