Jackson county: .
"Jackson county was very strong
en apples but the two features which
attracted the most attention were
Kennedy cling peaches raised by
Mrs. G. Karewski, of Jacksonville,
and French prunes grown by Weeks
& Orr, of Medford. In both instan

' esteemed as luxuries, thus supplied
would be of great benefit to the
people. If Arbor Day was utilized
to secure such a result, the impoY-
- tance of its purpose would be ap
parent to all.
Is it possible that any of the
newly elected county officers in
Jackson county are falling into the
ruts traveled for so many years by
the wheel horses of the ring ele
ment?. If such be the case we give
them due warning that there have
been danger signals established at
- each turn of the road, and they had
better turn a safety switch when
the first red lieht is reached. The
promises, upon the strength
which they were elected, were not
those of party ; fealty, but. instead
nromises to carefully guard the
county's best interests and ' econo
mize whenever, opportunity was
presented. Are some of them living
up to these promises? We shall
see. .
The Rogue River Telephone
company are laboring .under , no
small load of inconvenience at
present. But their inconvenience
is in one sense no greater than the
many patrons, or rather, would be
patrons, of their line. When the
telephone proposition . was first
'talked of it was ' the intention to
place one of tb.9 instruments at
Jacksonville in the court house,
but when arrangements had been
' made with one of the county officers
to place the instrument in his office
and. the work of putting in the
wires was about to commence,
Judge Neil put bis objection oar
into the before placid wuters and
there was great disturbance. He
wouldn't have the telephone placed
in the court house under no consid
eratiou and it didn't go . there.
Now that the. wire Between Jackson
ville, Medford and Ashland is in
WOfkiug order the inconvenience of j At least this is what one of our con
fb Judge' obatioa'-y is noticeable, temporaries says.
as nine-tenths of the business trans
uded over the line is with the court
house officials. Just why the Judge
should have' odjected 'is not quite
clear unless he found this arrange
ment would have : given Medford
and Ashland attorneys an even
footing with the great head of Jack
son county in matters pertaining to
courts and the court house regime.
As it now stands ; if any one of the
several hundred people along the
line want to talk with the county
officials, upon official business, they
will needs call up Jacksonville and
send a courier to the court house to
bring the official to the 'phone. -.It
was an almighty small piece of bus
iness, tne reiusai Dy judge rseu,
but what matters the inconvenience
of the rest of the county so long as
his point is gained. , ' ","' . .
That New Power Press.
During the past eighteen or twen
ty months The Mail's subscription
list has grown troin oOU to very
nearly 1200 names. It now becomes
necessary that we procure a larger
and much faster press upon which
to print our paper and this ; week
wefeave our order lor such an im
plements. This will necessitate an
outlay of about $900, which is just
a dollar and four bits more than we
have deposited in the bank. Per
haps, we could coax some of our
subscribers to "chip in" this small
amount, in return for which we will
give a receipt for a year s subscrip
tion; - Look at the date as printed
opposite your name on the paper or
wrapper and see how; your account
stands. -'. Perhaps you will then
want to change those figures. If
you do drop in. and see us bring
a dollar and a half,, or six bits, and
we will fix it for you. If you don t
happen to have the coin handy
don't say a word .about it it will
be all right some other time.
. Here is how those printed dates
work: . ,' - ' ' .

How Lore's Toons Dium Warn Brokea by
. Utnc the WronB ataxt Into m Secret.
At a supper party in Bohemia the oth
er night a funny thing happened. A
beautiful maid came, attended by her
latest and most devoted cavalier. Now,
this beautiful maid is much addicted to
that habit which is said to moke us
think like philosophers the use of to
bacco in its daintiest farm, the cigarette.
The cavalier is cne of thoso illiberal
and ucoonifortoble young men who hold
that all the vices and most of the enjoy
ments of life are the monopoly of his
own sex, and ho is particl oarly bitter ia
his criticism of women who smoke.'
The maid bod carefully concealed
from him the fact that her jtaby lips had
ever held a cigarette, but on the occa
sion of this supper party her desire over
came her discretion, and she arranged
with her hostess and various confidants.
that when the cigarettes were pasted
they should all urge her to "just try
one" to please them. The secret had
been confided to the mamma of the girl
hostess, but unfortunately the name of
the man who as to be thus hoodwinked
had not been mentioned. The cavalier
in question was seated at the right of
the mamma, and that dear lady, finding
him a bit difficult in conversation,
thought to make it pleasant far him by
telling him the whole story, which she
did, with little ripples of laughter, add
ing, "Of course you know the maid is
an inveterate smoker. "
Meanwhile at the other end of the ta
ble the cigarettes were being lighted,
and the beautiful maid was protesting
that really she "didn't dare," "it
would make her sick, " etc., and finally,
with a conciliatory glance toward the
swain, yielding and righting a Neston,
while a light of ineffable satisfaction
came into her lovely eyes. The youth
became even more difficult to entertain
after this, and what happened . on the
way homo no man knoweth, but now
they meet as strangers, and so, alas and
alack,' another of love's young dreams
has ended in smoke! New York Re

ROMANCE OF TW6 STATES.
Session of a Conple After Thirty Tear'
, .. . '. Separation..,,
story which began over 80 years
ago, and which dates back to the late
war, has just had a strange sequel in
two states Kentucky and Texas.
When the war opened, Dr. W. H.
Richardson of Kentucky left Blandville,
in that state, and went to Texas, where
ho married.
Soon after ' the wedding he left his
bride to join the Confederate army. In
attempting some speculation he was re
duced to the ranks, 'and becoming dis
satisfied left and went to Mexico.
- There, in the year 1807, he heard
that his wife was dead Bat he remain
ed in Mexico until the present year.
Then he resolved to return to Kentucky.
. He arrived in his native country, and
while tracing up a land claim found it
necessary to write to his wife's relatives
in the Lone Star State.
: This correspondence had a surprise in
etoro for him. His wife was found to
bo living. She had waited 12 years and
then had taken another husband. '
The doctor was single, and, rejoiced
to hear that bis wife still lived, he wrote
to ask if she bad lost her love for him.
She replied that she still loved him,
and that if he said the word she would
give the second . husband his walking
papers. . -V
The doctor was willing, and true to
her word the woman told husband No.
3 that he must go.
He acted on her advice, and last week
Blchardson went to Texas and "was re
united to the wife of his youth" after a
, -n,. ooverinir a
period of 88
years. :

A non-oxidizable alloy, proof
against sea water and to a certain
extent against acids, is prepared by
D. W. Sugg. of London, by mixing
50 parts of copper, 40 parts of tine,
and aluminum in the proportion of
'Ik per cent of the whole, lhe
amount of zinc and copper may be
vari-d. A reddish alloy, capable
of taking a high polish, is produced
when the copper and aluminum are
melted together and the xinc is
gradually stirred in ; and a ductile
alloy, resembling brass, results
when the sine and aluminum are
first mixed and the copper is added.
