11EIS OF THE CITY.
Hotel Medford Is 1 in new hands
since Tuesday morning, upon which
date M. Purdio disposed of all furni
ture and fixtures to I. L. Hamilton and
W. P. H. Legate. The keys were at
once turned over to the new firm and
business pushed ahead just the sama as
Always. The two gentlemen who now
have control of affairs are old-time and
honored residents of Medford, and
those who know them best speak loud
est in their praise as square, upright
business men and such as will make a
sure winning of the enterprise they
have now taken hold of. Both their
families will have rooms in the hotel,
and each and all will give their cure
fulest attention to a successful manage
ment of affairs. D. W. Crosby, he who
used to clerk for J. B. Riddle when he
was proprietor of the house, has en
gaged his services to the new manage
ment and will act in a similar capacity
as of yore. Several changes will he
made about the house, among them
being a re-arrangement of some of the
sleeping rooms and the putting down
;f new floors fn the lower story. Mr.
Purdin expects to leave for San Fran
cisco as soon as he can get his business
in shape here, and will probably en
gage in business in that city.
"Co me up slow" is what the clown
in the circus told his pet giraffe. Its
different with Wolters, the grocer, he
wants you to come up swift and catch a
bargain every purchaser d'aws a
prize in full weight, best goods and a
square deal.
Boys will be boys just the same as
S iris will be girls, but because this is
-true it is no reason why boys shouid
not be little gentlemen and girls little
ladies. However, it is bovs only that
we have to deal with in this item. The
Mail knows of boys, who are old
enough to know better, and whose
mothers would give them a good snug
pan king if they knew of some of their
little acts. The act referred to is
nothing more nor less than that of
stealing fruit from the several stands
about the city. Of course it is not your
bcvs. but those neighbors' bovs are a
bad crowd and ought to be attended to.
'2fo longer than a few weeks ago one of
our merchants reported having seen
two boys slip around a street corner
box, slip them in their pockets, then
oter the store and pilfer a few bands
ful of grapes from boxes setting on the
counter. The parents of these lads
would be mortified to no small degree
.if they knew their sons would steal,
but they do, and a starting out in this
- 1irMtinn nnlpu fn refill 1 . trimi-il H will
land the vnimor culnrits in the peniten
tiary. If the boys are caught in this
mat arain. thtrir names will be Drinted
ill this paper.
Shoe sales are brisk. You should
see the happy expression on the faces
of those who have gone away with the
lucky twentieth pair: at Thompson &
Meeker's for the next 30 days.
Last Sunday Rev. E. E. Thompson,
accompnnied by Misses Edith VanDyke
and Estella DuClose, drove over on
.Dry creek, about seven miles north
and east of Medford, to the residence
.of Mr. Carl Swanson, where he per
formed the marriage ceremony which
linked the heart and hand of Mr. Thos.
HU1 and Miss Anna Swanson, daughter
l the above mentioned Carl. The
wedding was largely attended by
friends of both bride and groom, and a
most delightful occasion it was. After
Ttr ThnmTwnn. with his rrfculiar ease
and grace, had said the few words
: which unite for better or for worse,
the party were seated at tables well

viands, and fruits bountiful, and amid
toasts, congratulations and edibles best
suited to the sustenance of the inner
man, a half hour, perhaps more, was
pleasantly spent. Both these young
and all acquaintances have words of
congratulation, and none the least of
these come from The Mail. ,

Blind Tom, the negro musician. If
you haven't heard of him you will have
an opportunity to hear his wonderful
musical renditions, on Tuesday even
ing, October 23d, at the Medford opera
bouse. Arrangements are now being
made for his coming, by the Ladies
Aid' Society of -the Presbyterian
church, in whose interests the enter
tainment is to ne given, uiino. xom s
indeed a prodigy. He was born blind
but has always been a musical wonder.
From his early childhood he has been
able to play the most difficult music
ppon a piano, and this without any
instruction simply inspiration. Na
ture didn't do very much for the poor
fellow mentally and he is far from be
ing bright, but in a musical way he is
truly, as the bills state, the eighth
wonder of the world. Admission 50
and 25 cent3. Reserved seat tickets on
- sale at Haakins' drug store.
Wolters, the grocer, has just re
ceived an EL-E-GANT. line of gents'
furnishings, and they" are going for

Some people get queer notions into
their heads. One of our subscribers
tells us that his; friends in the east
have got to imagining that we can't
gron corn in .Southern Oregon. He
says they think wheat and fruit is our

limn. vny, Diess your ouaiy uiixeu
calculations, we can grow corn forty
feet. high, with two rows of ears at
ievery joint and the joints are quite
frequent. But to be candid; there is
probably no better corn soil and cli
mate anywhere in the United States
than that which grows right here in
the great Rogue river valley. Corn
grows splendidly, in fact better than
the climate does, or soil either. There
are large fields adjacent to Medford
upon which has been grown, this sea

crop has grown every year since tne
valley has been under cultivation. We
can grow anything that is growable.

which occurred at Jacksonville, on
Wednesday evening, Rsv. W. B.
Moore officiating. The happy couple
are now stopping with the groom's

For the p:ist few weeks the boys
about the city have been having any
amount of fun with Attorney Parker,
which joshes he takes good uaturedly
enough. At the lime o! the State fair
he donned his silk hat, 'tis said, and
started to Sah m to witness his son,
Day, do up the state champions ou the
bicycles, but Day's wheel wasn't geared
high euough and the father's expecta
tions were not fully realized. A few
days later the paterfamilias returned
to Medford, but instead of riding to the
depot he found it more convenient to
slop off at the water tank and make a
slide through the suburbs to his home
and that's where the josh comes in.

The Mail has spoken a number of
times of the many different directions
from which people come to trade in
Medford, and as well of the great dis
tances traveled. As an example of
how this line of trade runs, let us cite
that at one store last week, one day
there traded a Mr. M. L. Johnson,
from the city of Ashland, M. E. Wool
en, from Climax, Klamath county, a
Mr. Heckerthorne. from Drain, Douglas
county, and A. C. Buck, from Watkins.
Aside from these there were many
from nearer by points. Verily, he who

HIS FINGER FOR A NEW NOSE
Tbe ntmtfkabte Operation of m London
Surgeon on m NoatIcm Mao.
Tho achievements of American sur
geons in bold and extraordinary opera
tions have long been the wonder of tho
i world, bnt now from the other side of
' the Atlantic comes a story which shows
that the old country is wakinji np a bit
in the art of engrafting living human
flesh. A yocng man has put his finger
to his ucre, and it remains there perma
nently. A few months agoajyooth, whose na
sal organ was missing as the result of
" : -l . 11. .1 -. f- ; l r.
an accident, called at Charing cross
hospital, London, with tho request that
tho surgeons would snpply the deficien
cy, artificially or otherwise. He express
ed himself as willing to undergo nny
ort of treatment by which his disfig
ured face might bo made fairly present
able and not absolutely rcpnlsive to his
best Sunday summer girl. Mr. Bloxam,
the senior surgeon, took the interesting
case in hand.
First the amputated finger cf cn
other patient was carved and fashioned
to tho Hemblonco cf a nose and then se
curely grafted on tho face. But it was
fonud that this mutilated digital r.ppen
dage had uotsurvived itscntiing up. It
was "dead" and failed to take lrcsh
root
Tho noseless man, nothin dncuted,
thereupon agreed to tho surgeou's sug
gestion that one of his own (tho pa
tient's) fingers should be cut o3 to fur
nish a nasal organ, but iu order that
the finger should not bo wasted in tho
event of this operation being unsuccess
ful it was only half amputated. The pa
tient's arln being incased in plaster, for
four weeks he held his own live finger
to his face in tho hope, of its taking root
This it did. Tho portion which was
etill attached to his hand was then cut
through and soon joined tho rest in
adhering firmly to the fnco. Although
minus n finger, tho yonug mou now has
a new nose of his own flesh and blood.
Tho transferred cartilage has been so
manipulated by clever Dr. Bloxam that
its original identity is entirely lost, and
the farther process of shaping it is now
being proceeded with. Now York

A Flove for Better Roads.
The Mail has heretofore had consid
erable to say about the urgenl need of
doing something on a laree scale to im-
irove our county roaus. The present
is the best lime in the year lo move in
the mailer. The farmers are not
rushed with their work now aud will
be willing to give their idle teams work
for the next month. Many have said
that they would gladly join in hauling
gravel, provided a general movement
was made They think, however, tnat
if they do the work they should not be
compelled to pay for the gravel. Med
ford can well afford to provide the
gravel, and further Medford can well
afford to subscribe to a permanent road
fund, if each legal voter iu the city
would give even a dime a month to
such a fund much could be done with
the money. If Medford secures the
improvement of every road leading into
town, she will have the trade of the
valley forever. If by starting this
work Medford secures for the county
good roads this will soon be the most
populous and wvallhy county in the
state nnd Medford will reap "the bulk
of the benefit. If the people of Med
will take hold nf the matter THE MAIL
will guarantee to secure the services
of a man to canvass the county and se
cure donations ot work. Then, if tho
gravel can be bad and a permanent
fund is subscribed by the merchants
aud people of this city, the roads can
bo made good in a very short time and
this fund will keep tht m iu good con
dition. As a result, Medford will have
no dull times, her outside customers
being able to get into town al all times
of tho year. Lt everybody atteud the
mass meeting called for Monday even
ing of next week aud let us start the
ball rolling at once.

Because that the credit system ties up the merchants'
