as Second-Class Mail Matter.
Medfokd, Friday, Oct. 26, 1894.
A San Francisco attorney has
.thrashed a witness who had insult
. ed him. If the rule can be made
to work both ways there can be no
objections to its adoption.
It may be that the signs portend
the dissolution of the Chinese em
pire. If so it will be one of the
greatest victories of the century for
civilization and progress.
A friend of The Mail writes
from Ellensburg, Washington; "The
creamery business is the salvation
of this country." If the business is
a paying investment in Washing
ton it could be made doubly so in
- Southern Oregon. ,
Dij you ever think of it? It
matters not what the price of beef
cattle is butter remains firm at fifty
' ceats a roll and milk at two bits a
gallon. If this isn't a convincing
argument favorable to dairying then
we defy you to bring out one that is.
All doubt as to the action of the
British lion and Russian bear in
jliktJdraan muddle is unthinking
doubt. Both will act in accordance
with their own interests, and all .the
bosh about their being interested in
the humane aspects of the contro
versy is only bait for the childlike
and bland.
It is generally supposed that
when a man's heart pulsations go
down to forty a minnte, death will
v follow unless restoratives are ad
ministered. Parisian doctors are
now, it is said, puzzled over a man
in one of the hospitals whose pulsa
tions have sunken as low as eighteen
ances, he is well and strong.
iliss Ella L. Kxowle3. of Mon-
Till
--, -tena, the young lady who lately
came wuum a lew votes oi oemg
elected state attorney, nas just re-i.-'
ceived a fee of $10,000 for effecting
a settlement in an important law
suit involving large mining inter
ests. The matter has been in liti
gation for two years. Her fee is the
. largest eyer received by a woman
attorn e v.
TjijKaJioat the triumphs of sci
ence. Surgeons are now engaged
in mending a man's iiitestines,
much as a rubber hose is mended.
They simply cut out a section of
the intestines, where the disease
exists, then bring the two healthy
ends together and fasten them by
means of what is known as Mur
phy's button, applied much as the
little tubes and ligatures are ap
plied in mending the ordinary
garden hose.
This from the Eugsne Register
would seem to indicate that our
good friend, Ira Campbell, of the
Eugene Guard, had trusted not
. wisely, but too well: "I. L. Camp
bell has instituted suit in the cir
cuit court against J. E. Noland, for
the recovery of the sum of $3,655.71.
The complaint alleges that from
January 7. 1892, to July 27,1894,
while the defendant was sheriff of
this county, the plaintiff performed
services for him in the way of legal
publications to the amount of
$4,360. He has received from him
but $704.89, and a good portion of
this in the way of receipts for taxes,
leaving a balance due the plaintiff
of $3,655.71."
While The Mail is in favor of
the moat economical county gov
ernment possible,' it . cannot see
justice in the county court disal
lowing bills when the discount on
warrants has been added, in in
stances where an outlay of actual
money has been made, by the officer
presenting the bill. For example :
If county warrants are selling at 90
cents on the dollar, and an officer
expends $10 of his own money in
payment of bills for the county and
for services which the law requires
the county should pay ... for, the
, officer should be given a warrant
for $11.11, which warrant when
sold in the market at 90 cents
would give him back the $10 actu
ally expended.
,!Tkue charity sometimes requires
thai the hungry be fed, but it is
frequently tha case thai giving a
-. loaf too often makes the recipient a
loafer." Portland Sunday Wel
come. '
There is surely a whole heap of
good, sound sense wrapped up in
the few lines above quoted. : It is
conceded by all that of the three
graces charity stands on the upper
most pinnacle, yet ve must consider
that charity ought to first be -implanted
firmly at our own hearth
atone before we extend it, in he
sense of giving of worldly goods,
outside our own haven of happiness.
The Mail knows of instances where
housewives have given food to the
miserable, depraved, lecherous
tramp, when their husbands were
working from sunrise until sun
down to gain snsteiuuice to supply,
and these but scantly, th mouths
of his children. It is not charity!
for the housewife to give, under
these circumstances. It is an insult
to the decent, honest laboring man,
and is paying a premium upon idle
ness and depravity.

A STRANGE CASE.
Death of a Yonuff ady After a Wonder
ful Medluinlstio Performance. f
The widest interest has boon excited !
in Europe Jbj tho story of tlio death of a '
young lady, a member of a prominent
family of this city, while under hypnot- ,
io influence in tho hands of Nenkomm, ;
tho well known hynpotist. She suffered
much for several months from nervous
headaches. Nothing could cure her but
Ncukomm putting her into a trance.
The last affair was before a numerous
audience. The first accounts of tho
affair were incorrect, but tho later ver
sion, given by Dr. von Bragassy, who
was present throughout, is almost in
credible. -
The experiment, it 6eems, Las been
ono of spiritualistic trance rather than
hypnotism. Dr. Bragassy says: "It
was with tho concurrence of hor parents
and the medium herself that thohypno
tizer Neukoruru selected as tho object
of the experiment tho'condition of his
brother residing in Werchcz, concerning
which the opinion of physicians vary.
In about 13 minutes the medium ex
claimed, 'I am fast asleep. ' The young
lady gave signs cf great excitoment;
which, according to her parents, had
not been observed during previous ex
periments. Neniomni requested tho
medium to go and seo his brother ct
Werchez and say what vas tho nature
of his illness and what cere should be
adopted.
"What followed was really incredi
ble. The medium began a scientifio de
scription of the invalid's lungs, giving
a minute account of their diseased con
dition,' with technical particulars which
even an ordinary doctor could not give,
and -which micht only be expected from
an experienced specialist With full j
command and correct use of technical ex
pressions, she gave the closest details, ex
tending to a full diagnosis of inflamma
tion tf the lungs, and declared the prog
nosis very unfavorable, as against that
kind of disease medical skill is power
less. In conclusion she described the
end of the patient in tho usual Latin
terminology, and immediately afterward
she fell back senssless, uttering a pierc
ing shriek.
"I at once had recourse to every con
ceivable means of restoring conscious
ness, but all in vain. Within eight min
utes her pulse began to fail, and death
shortly followed.
"According to the post mortem, tho
immediate cause of death was concus- j
sion of the train." Vienna Letter.
WANT WILLIAM'S WEALTH.
Two Italian Count Who Claim to Bo tbo
Head of the House of Gnelph.
A Berlin correspondent says that the
German emperor has been cited to op
pear before the civil tribunal in Flor
ence in virtue of article 1-13 of the civil
code procedure cf the kingdom of Italy,
there to answe the complaint of Counts
Giovanni and Rafcaele Gcclfi. These
gentlemen claim to be the male heads
of the royal German house of Gnelph
and heirs to property valned at many
millions. They have not yet entered
into particulars concerning their claim,
and it is doubtful if the case, will ever
get beyond the present preliminary ,
stage.
The counts profess to be very mag
nanimous in not claiming the Guelphio
crovrn, which, they say, is clearly theirs.
They will be content if Kaiser Wilhelm
will disgorge the millions of which ho
is unjustly in possession, and they hint
that thty might bo induced to listen to
a compromise if the terms were suSl
ciently tempting. i
This is not surprising, for these counts
are, to put it mildly, in financial low
water just now, and the richest man cf
the family, Count Guelfo, will not help
thorn in their suit agains t the emperor.
Count Guelfo is gaiaii:g an honest, if
a plebeian.piving as managcr.of a skat
ing rink, and ho declines to risk any
part of his modest income in what ho
considers a fool's chase after a phantom
fortune.
The Great Water WheeU at Kiassra.
The water wheels aro not all of the
same size. Thoco employed in the trans
mission of power to the machinery of
the paper mill were, when they tvero
put in, the largest ever made. They
were capable of generating as much as
1,000 horsepower each. But they aro
mere pygmies in comparison with those
which aro to supply power to tho great
dynamos. Each of these has been built
with tho purpose of developing as much
as 5,000 horsepower, which is about
the power required to drive an ordinary
ocean steamship from 13 to 11 knots an
hour. There are to be thrco cf theso
mammoth turbines, and their hand
maids, the dynamos, are sympathetical
ly colossal in their capacity to generate
electricity. McClnre's Missnziue.

From Our untontovrn Correspondent.
Robert Cameron, well known to
readers of The Mail, has sold his
extensive ranch at the mouth of
Little Applegate, to a mining syn
dicate. The property consists of
some four htfndred acres of well ar
ranged and properly equipped
farming land, that will be plowed
next season by a giant. The con
sideration was if 25,000. Parties are
examining Zack and Win. Cam
eron's property, with a view to pur
chasing it for the same purpose.
This property has been thoroughly
tested and there is no question
about the richness of the deposit.
It is asserted, and not at all im
probable, that the entire Applegate
valley will be mined in the near
future.
