The county court is m session this week. Will the commission' ere allow that bill for making copy of assessment roll? We snail see what we shall see. Newfoundland wants to join us Let her come. We need a key to the Pacific Hawaii, and we might as well have the key to the North Atlantic. Besides, the quality of our codfish- would be vastly im proved. It is a curious and suggestive fact that of all the great fortunes made on the Pacific slope in recent years, only one that of Hunting ton remains in the original hands. All of the others have been divided and scattered. Rev. Dr. . L. Eaton denoun ces Milwaukee s charity ball as "a bacchanalian orgy." Charity cov ereth a multitude of sins, but in this case it seems there wasn t enough charity to go around. The ball cost $12,875 and petted $1,692, while many of charity's votaries were sent home in patrol wagons after the bawl was over. The end of the world is to t ome on April 23, 1903, according to a German theologian, who has just alarmed Berlin by his prophecy. Among his cheerful forecasts are a great war in 1S97, the advent of a new Napoleon in 1899 as King of . Greece and Syria, and a terrific earthquake in 1901. The city council has promised . to economize in the government of affairs during the coining year, and its members have promised wiselv. There is surely need of economy, particularly right now. The citizens and taxpa-ers can better afford to put up with a few inconveniences than they can af ford to pay a high tax rate. The expenses of the city were lessened last year cannot we do as well, or better, this year? The officer of either county or city who cuts down the tax rate is a hero in the eyes of those who "wood-up" for expenses and they see him right. Let us get this tax cut down first, then indulge in luxuries. The year 1895 will be a remark able one, both from an astronomical and a religiofis point of view. On Good Friday next, April 12th, the heavenly bodies which gravitate around the sun will be in exactly the same position that they occu pied in the firmanent on the day Christ died on the cross. It will be the first time such a thing has oc curred since that great day, just 1802 years ago. That was the thirty-third year of the Christian era, which dates from the birth of Jesus Christ. At -1:20 in the morning. Paris time, the moon will pass before Virginia (Spica), and hide that constellation from view for over an hour. Chautauqua Notes.

A dollar spent for Hood's Sarsaparil la now may prevent illness which will be .expensive and hard to bear. Now is the time to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. Hood's Pills cure all liver ills, relieve constipation and assist digestion. 25c. Baptist Young People's Fleeting. As per announcement made in this paper last week, the Baptist Young People's Union hold a two-days' ses sion in Medford, beginning lust, Sat urday morning and continuing; over until Sunday evening. There was a very largo attendance, so large in fact that the church was incapablo of accommodating all who came. Aside from a largo general at tendance of Medford people, there were many representatives and visitors present from Grants- Pass, Ashland, Central Point, Williams creek, and nearly all points of the Rogue riyer valley. Saturday's session opened at 10:1-5 a. m. by "Praise service," lead by K.'J. Lamar. Following this was an "ad dress of welcome'' by Miss Minnie Worraan. Down a few numbors further on the program' came an essay, "Bene fits of Activity" by Miss Elva Gallo way. This was indeed an ably pre pared article and to the young lady there were given compliments in numerable and these were well placed. So greatly appreciated was this essay that Sunday evening the audience insisted upon her reading it a second time, which she did, and was again showered with compliments. We regret that space for. bids as making individual mention of all par ticipants, but if we say that all did themselves credit, we will be but voicing the sentiments of all present. Among those of Medford people who took part and who are entitled to especial mention we will name Miss Ora Adkins, Rev. J. Merley, Dr. B. F. Adkins, Rev. Jenkins and Rev. Russ. All in all the meetings were a pro nounced success, and an unusual amount of interest was manifest, and several new names were added to the list of members. Sunday evening there was an attend ance of three hundred and sixty, one hundred of which, for want of seats, were compelled to stand in the vesti bule and upon the walk leading to the church. She is a Good Speaker. Next week the people of Medford are to be given a rare treat in the lecture line: also in the line of pro gress lor tne w. (J. T. U. of Oregon. Upon dates even with next Tuesdav and Wednesday evenings. March 12th and 13th, Mrs. Ada w. TJnruh, the State lecturer and national organizer for the Woman's Christian Temper ance Union, will speak in Medford opera house, and to which lecturer the admission will be free, and every man. woman and child in this city is asked to attend: yes. vou are urged to attend by people who have heard the lady speak and who know of her ability to entertain and to intelligently point out the route which leads up to and enters the teetotaler's pleasant home. The lady has been eiven many compli mentary press mentions in all locali ties where she has lectured. She is not only an able speaker, but as well an earnest, never ceasing worker in the interest of sobriety and the better ment of the human family Generally. The lady will hold what is termed a woman's meeting,'' at tbe Christian church on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and at 4 o'clo;k of the same day a "children's meeting" vill be Id at the same nlace. and to which all are inviled. The K. O. T. 11. Install Officers. On the evening of February 21st, E. A. Heildreth.

I. Hutchison; Senti nel. G. H. Haskins. Triumph Tent members have been just a littlo inert for the past few months, but right now there seems to be new energy displayed noticeable in the activity of bolh "the officers and members in their endeavor lo im bue the Tent with new life and lo add new members. Many members were members oulv to the extent of the benefits derived from the iusurance carried, but these have now seen the necessity of work and activity in their ranks, and the attendance at meetings is large while there is ho)n? of there being ninny new members added lo their list.

' V. G !If':i.KY, of Talent, was in the .U'i'y Tuesday upon business. A few j minutes' talk with the gentleman con ' vinees one that he is well up in the j ways of the world and the eceentrici Ities ot her people. Mr. H. has been on the road for years as a canvasser for various articles and has therefore seen all sides of much of human nature. S.R. Ctlll.DS. tho ex-t -legraph oper ator, returned from. Evans creek this week, at which place he is engaged in mining, in company with bis uncle, J. J. Watts. Mr. Childs is thinking of laking up a homestead in that locality and moving his family thereto.

Wells, of Applegate, has accepted a good paying position in the law office of P. O. Chilstrom, San Francisco, and on Friday of last week loft for that city. Mr. Wells has been conducting a law office in Jacksonville ior a lew montns past, but a proposi tion of the above nature, with salary attachments, is one that don't happen along often and the gentleman wisely took it in. He is an unusually bright young man and will, we opine, make several big marks for himself in the practice of his profession. H. A. Handscomk and family, of Blencoe, Iowa, arrived in Medford Sunday morning and wiil make this locality their future home. Mr. H. was here for a month or six weeks last fall and was most favorably impressed with the country and climate hence the arrival of himself and family is but the natural sequence. They are old time friends of the Lindley people of this city. If thev find a small farm for sale that is to their liking thev will purchase and turn themselves and I their Iowa ambitions loose for the pro duction of our farm diversities. Hon. H. B. MILLER was un from Grants Pass last week visiting his several friends hereabouts. Mr. Mil ler is well known all over Oregon and none know him better than do the poli ticians. He is said to be able to read political slates at a longer range than any man in the state, and coupled with this is his ability to break the combine, and with both these accomplishments he is said to be loyal to his friends an unknown quantity in many politicians when once their point has been achieved. When here last Saturday a Mail reporter caught him in close, earnest converse with that stalwart democrat. Hon. J. H. Stewart. Whether Mr. Miller was bent upon evil intent toward democracy or not. wo don't know, hut we will" give Mr. Stewart a quiet tip that unless he keeps his dem ocracy well but'oned up Harry Miller will swipe it.
