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.

illness which will be .expensive and

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.

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

' 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.

He's a good, square gentleman,
whether on a ranch or in a telegraph
office.
Attorney W. vV. Cardwki.l, of
Roseburg, was in Medford Monday upon
business the nature of which wo did not

beforo the land office, and those he
loses are few.
Emmet and Welhokn Bkkson were
iu from Talent Monday. Thn latter
named gentleman has hut recently re

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.
