V MS OF IE CITY. The Ashland' Amateur ! Dramatic company appeared '-at the Medford opera house, on Wednesday evening' of this week, in the military drama, "En listed for the War." They were greeted with a well tilled house, 'and after the drop of the curtain on the first act, ap plause came fast and hearty from the audience. In putting on a play by ama teurs there is always a certain amount of prejudice mixed up in the audience, that must be overcome before any ap plause can be expected. When the eurtain.went ud on the second act this prejudice had been pushed aside, and a feeling that there really was merit in the plav and that the players were re ally ana truly playing their parts, took its place. -. F-om this on, the company's success was easy, and applaud followed applaud in rapid succession. We would like to speak at length of each charac ter, but to say all the kind words we (eel for them would require space equal to a page of solid type. Let us say, however, that the company is made up, entire, of perfect ladies and gentle men, their play is a good one, their make-ups" line and very appropriate, and the participants' conception of the lines they were saying and the charac ter they impersonated were true to a degree of almost perfection. The scenery, painted especially for this play, is very fine and shows the artist's careful and well skilled hand. All in all, the evening was a very pleasant one to the audience, and nothing but. kind words is tendered the company. The receipts of the evening were $6i. After the play, a dance was given, at which some thirty or forty couples en joyed a few pleasant hours. Profs. Sweeney and Merrill, of this city, fur- nished the music and 'twas good. Dentist Dr. C.

The following appeared in a Jack sonville correspondence to the Ore jjo- ii ian, under date of the 13th: "A young man about zs years old, Ed Mauitby, was dangerously wounded last night by Frank Krump. the night watchman of the Sterling Mining company. He was shot in the small of the back with shotgun, loaded with No. 6 shot, and the wound indicates that be received Almost tne lull charge. It appears that. Maultby and an elder brother were working for the Cook and An keny boys, recleaning the bedrock which had been worked over bv the company and abandoned. The direct caase of the shooting cannot at this time be ascertained, as there seems to be a determination on the part of all concerned to suppress the facts in the case, though it is said that the shoot ing was entirely justifiable. The - father of the young man lives in Jack sonville, and the boy was brought to town about 3 o'clock this morning. There is no talk of arrest. The young nan is resting comfortablv, but the -wound is considered dangerous." More new goods at G. L.

Much of this amount nas been sold at local points in the val ley,' and a considerable portion of the crop bow on hand will be made into wine. The work of gathering this crop of grapes began in August, and it will be close onto December before the whole crop is taken care of. The very fine weather of this fall has been es pecially favorable to the grape indus try. The number of acres set out to jrrapes on the Miller ranch is from ten to fifteen.

Gov't Report PURE Having a Real Nice Time. Sheriff Patterson aud Judge Neil are said to be having a very pleusant time lit the county seat. The ghosts ot the departed friendship of these two gen tlemen make Rome howl in the con dors, oiliues and court room of that monumental structure of county of ficials' duplicity and the tax payers' burden the court hoiisn. Even the county jail is said to be haunted by the spirits of "what might have boon had not Sheriff Patterson succeeded Pelton as keeper thereof. The spurks of anger from Sheriff Pattersou are smothered before, they reach the silvery locks of the county judge be cause of his resp ct. for their uge and the years of mail's life which lead up to them. The conditions which have jogffed along to a getting oil point at which they now stand, are related thusly: Some f: weeks ugoone Audley Porter, an Ashland youth, became somowhat unruly and he was adjudged a tit subject for the reform school, where upon Judge Neil appointed "My son Frank as a custodian of said Porter with instructions to go Salemward therewith and ho went, and "My son Frank" presented a bill for such ser vices in which bill were items like this: i"Expenseof ofiloo-and prisonor m.'als, sleeper, etc., $8.50;" "per diem of officer threa days at $3 per dav. $9;" railroad fare from Jacksonville to Ashland, seventy-five cents." Com missioner Bradshaw took exceptions to the Hi charge and Commissioner Furry joined with him und that part of the bill was disallowed on the grounds that this work belonged to the sberilT to perform and had it been thus pre fered the p.jr diera would not have boen in the bill as be is only allowed his actual expense on trips of this kind. Uowever, Jud'e Neil didn't want this item knocked out and later on he persuaded Commissioners Brad shaw and rurry to sign an iwreement to abide bv a decision of Judge Hanna. The division rendered bv Mr. Hanna was "that ho (Frank K. Noil) was en titled to recover his per diem the same as any private individual. Tho late law applicable to fees of sheriff would have noapplica;ion in this case The bill was recalled and passed at $52.75. SherilT Patterson didu't like this and so slated to the court and there upon asked thutbody what he was there for if not to perform such surviees? The reply was that ho was there "more us an ornament than anything else. It was risrnt here that Putter son became angered, but be it said to his credit, be didi.'t allow his anger to get the top hand of his betu-r judg ment and thee was i blood spiil -d and no justice court lines to pay. The $3 charge, as well as that of 75 cents for fare from Jacksonville to Ashland, would not have been entered in tbe bill had Sheriff Patterson, in the per formance of his duty been allowed to have handled Porlor. And again, it is mure than probable that a part of the &?.50 charge would have been omitted, as we hnrdlv bolieve it cus tomary for therills to ride in sleeping cars. Uow many of the tax payers of Jackson county occupy sleeping c.irs when traveling a short distance? Not many of them we'll wager. Sewing machine n-jed'es and sup- nd slore. Another Brick Block.

Tuesday morning a sp?clal train of niteteeu cars, loaded with stock, left Medford for San Francisco. The train consisted of nin j cars of cattle and ten cars of hogs, si x crs of the hogs be- loiiiriuir to J. W. Wiley, aud the re mainder of the shipment were in charge of J. W. Hockersmilh. While the price paid for tbis train load of stock was not equal to tbe price paid at Ibis time last year, it at the same lime leaves Quite a large sum of money scattered a:nonz the far mors and siackmen of tbis vicinity, and is indeed a great help to tbem, and while it is helping those to whom it ii first paid, it soen rinds its wav into the com mercial channels of the valley and the greater amount of it never leave the valley thus enabling farmers and small stock-raisers to tide over the season of hard times, and at the same lime helps to eucourage the raising of more stock in preference to cereals. which, this year at least, are a very poor money maker for the former When we slop to consider that a shipment of this size leaves at least $-vx0 in the bonds of those who raised the slock, it is plain to be seen that it is a help to the producer. And on the other hand, when it is a well known fact that Medford is the Hub of the Rogue river valley and a goodly amount of the business of this nature is transacted here, it is quite evident that she will derive her share of the bene fit. Our merchants can, and do, will ingly testify to this fact, and likewise thti hotels when our city is crowded with such prosperous farmers as pop a late the Iioirue river valley. It cannot be dented that Mr. Hocker smilh has done much to encourage this industry. ni has purchased a lartre pcrccola3 of tbe stock raisad in this valley during the past three years. And now that Mr. Wiiey is in the field for a share of tbe busiuess, it is safe to presume that the farmsrs will fare even belter with this competition. The shipment of stock from here to outside markets does not by far include the total amount raised in the volley, as the Southern Oregon Pork Packing company are now und have been for some time killing on an average of forty bead of hogs a day, which are beiug cured'at the company's packing house, in this city; and r- tiitinson, the veteran butcher of Medford, is dis posing of about twenty bead per day In like manner. The shipments of cured meats and lard, by the bouthnrn Ore gon, Pork Packing company, from this city have averaged, the past season, about 1000 pounds per day, which represents a vast amount of money. when figured in the aggregate most of which has been distributed among the farmers of this valley.
