It wus upon Wednesday evening of
this week that a special train came
over from Jacksonville, the whyfor
ness of this special run was to bring
over from Jacksonville about twenty
members of the A. O. U. W. order of
that city, who came over for the pur
pose of installing officer in the Med
ford lodge' of the same order. Dis
trict Deputy Grand Master vm. Col
vig appointed several members of the
Jacksonville lodge as grand officers
and proceeded to install officers. Those
. installed were: E. W. Carder, M. W.;
D. T. Lawton, foreman; C. O. Damon,
overseer; J. nr. Lawton, recorder; C. I
Strang, financier; w. I.- Vawter. re-1
ceiver; A. C. Nicholson, guide; C. w.
wolters, inside guard; win. Church
man, outside guard . After this work
had been completed there were
speeches made by nearly all members
present from Jacksonville, including
Attorney Colvig, and Attorneys Vaw
ter and Parker of this city, when this
was through with a luncheon of cake,
sandwiches and coffee was served to
which all did credit both to luncheon
and themselves. Following this was
an hour or more given to the recital of
stories and a pleasant talk in general.
At eleven thirty they left the hall,
each and every one with a feeling of
satisfaction, because of being a Work
man and because of the pleasant as
sociates that make it the grand institu
tion it is.
Who has that key ? You may be
gin trying Monday morning, but don't
all come at once. If you have the
right one no one else can get the money.
The money will be kept for you until
you are ready to come after it. We
will give notice when the lucky man
is found. Thompson & Meeker.
Last Friday evening was the date
fixed for one of those very pleasant
social gatherings which the Epworth
league have gotten into the habit of
giving cf late, and the place fixed for
the last meeting was at the fine home
of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Johnson, on
south C Street. There were about
forty-five or fifty people present and
a splendid time was enjoyed bv all.
The early evening was spent in soap
' bubble amusements followed by a ses
sion of right pleasant conversation,
and immediately following tnis was a
splendid luncheon. A few hours more
was spent in having a general good
time and the party broke up with many
kind words tendered to the host and
. hostess for the evening's pleasure.
The receipts of the evening were about
So, wnicn amount will be given tne
M. E. church to be used toward the
purchase of a church carpet. One
especially amusing feature was that
' of Mr. Johnson with his arms full of
clav pipes passing among the ladies
distributing pipes, but as the horrid
"terbacker," in that old ''terbacker'
: box, didn't follow, the ladies recovered
from tneir sbock and smoked soap
bubbles from clay pipes.

lated plans of proceed ure in fair mat
ters lor lsaa. r. t.. Mill was re-elected
president: Dr. DeBarr, vice president:
John Downing, secretary; J. W. Mer

Sheridan of the. Boseburg land office
have decided the land case wherein
Dr. W. B. Officer, of Eagle Point, is
protestant and Dan'l I. Waldroop, of
JWedlord, is claimant. Tne complete
findings in the case we had hoped to
be able to print, but as they cover six
pages and closely written with a type
writer, we are obliged to cut down to
only a brief mention of the summing
up which is to the effect that the pro
test of Officer bo dismissed and that
the proof of Waldroop be accepted
We have not learned of the fate of
Hon. M. S. Crowell and -his son, H,
M. Crowell, whose proofs were con-
testea at tne same time by W. A.
Forbes and Wright. Later: The
lwo latter cases were also decided fa
vorable to the claimants, the Messrs.
Crowell. We will endeavor to print
; extracts from tne findings next week,
Capt. A.C. Smith, of Phoenix, who
- rented his farm last fall and hied him
self to Colorado, writes that the snow
is two feet deep there and that the
', weather is cold, somewhat: says if he
had net rented his farm he would be
back within a space of time equal to
tnat required to get nere. Jt is tue
: same old story told by manv a man who
wanders from his pleasant surround-
: mgs to the reported green pastures of
: another clime. The man who hopes to
Detter nis conditions nnanciauy, or in
general comfort, by leaving the Rogue
. river valley, is hugging a delusion that
will ere many months, if followed up,
leave him at sea in adversities without
: a rudder to steer his safe return to our
haven land. Mr. Smith's return to the
': Rogue river valley cannot be too soon
' to suit his many friends.
There should always be displayed
, a great amount of caution in starting
fires in the streets, alleys or vacant lots
of our city, but particularly should our
people be cautious when there is a
wind blowing. A pile of papers set on
fire only"burns off the top few inches
unless stirred and the blaze given a
draft. If left unattended to, the smoul
dering embers are liable to start anew
when all are sleeping and serious loss
may result. Last week a number of
tires were started iu the streets when a
stiff wind was bloving',"and had it not
been that rain was falling at the time
there would haye been work for the
fire company, but even at such a time
the flying embers are liable to be
blown into some dry hay or wood sbed.
Don't build a fire outdoors when the
wind is blowing. It isn't safe anyway
you cau fix it.
Are yon going to get some trees
this winter? If so. you had batter get

-On Januarv flth Willie DeRoboam,
the fourteen-year-old son of Emit De
Roboam, of Jacksonville, was taken
with acute aDoendicius. wnicn gradu
ally grew worse until Friday of last
week, when an appendicular abscess
was diagnosed with a general septic
peritonitis, and as a last ray of hope
for the recovery of the boy a laparoto
my (opening of the abdominal cavity)
was r decided upon and at once per
formed by Dr. Geary, of this city,
assisted by Drs. Pickel, of Medford, and
DeBarr, of Jacksonville, and a great
amount of pus of an offensive odor was
removed. The boy is now doing nneiy
and will in all probability entirely re
cover. Tht terms used in the above
are not found in our vocabulary, but
Dr. Pickel states positively that that
was the boy s trouble. However, ne
was prettv sick, aud nothing short of
the very best of surgical skill saved his
lire.

Some few week ago a Mrs. Lewis
and her son arrived in Grants Pass
from Yaquina bay. From Grains Pass
Mrs. Lewis took the tram for Ashland,
leaving the sou to follow with learn.
After waiting in Ashland ten days for
his arrival there, she became uneasy
as to ni wbereabouts, and Monday
evening she came to Medford in search
for him. Upon arriving here she en
gaged, lodging at the Clarendon hotel.
but as a lie could converse only in her
native tongue German the services
of A. Fetsch. the tailor, were solicited

was . learned that the lady s son bad

Monday evening's freight brought
live carloads ol salt to Medford. One
of these was taken to Jacksonville, two
of them were unloaded at the Southern
Oregon Packing company's place of
business, one was for C. W. Wolters,
and one for Cranfil & Hutchison.
Ibis immediate locality consumes a
great amount of this article. It was
only a very few months ago that some
thing like six or seven carloads were
unloaded in Medford. There is un
questionedly a great amount of meat
packed at this point and no better evi
dence as to the vastness of the amount
is needed than a mention of the amount
of salt used.

Messrs. Mounce & Schermerborn,

Schermerhorn retiring. These young
men have been residents of Medford
cnly about a year, but they have made
many friends and built up a splendid
business which will undoubtedly con
tinue in its prosperous condition under
the individual management of Mr.
Mounce. Mr. Schermerhorn has not
decided as yet what business he will
engage in, but his friends are suggest
ing many ways and means for him
that will insure his remaining with us.
Buckingham & Hecht's boots and

Last Saturday John Wyland, of Ante
lope, drove a band of twelve head of
mixed cattle to Ashland where they
were sold to the Union Meat company,
of Portland, for two cent per pound.
Considering that this band was mixed
cows and steers and considering
further that one and a half cents has
been the price paid in the valley for
many head of cattle during the fall and
winter, the indications for better prices
are not only prospective but are actual.

that he secured several dollars in this
manner.

to Emmet Beeson and occupied by
Chas. Brophy and two sons. The fire
