Totally Destroyed By Fire.
Tho largo steam saw-mill of Klippol
& Marcuson, located on Galls creek,
about fourteen miles north of Medford,
burned to the ground last Thursday
night about midnight. Not only was
the mill burned, but four adjoining
buildings, and 15f,000 feet of lumber
were also destroyed. In the amount of
lumber burned there was at least 90,
000 feet of clear lumber, and the whole
of this year's run was a total loss.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the origin of the fire, but the general
opinion is that the fire started in the
vicinity of iho furnace, and after
smouldering for several hours, burst
out in the tire room in a pile of saw
dust and shavings that were piled
there. A man who was employed about
the mill and who was sleeping in the
mill did not awake until after the
tlames had entirely encircled him, and
he was obliged to dash through the
tlames in order to save himself from
being burned alive.
On the log-way was at least a day's
run of logs, and those, too, were con
sumed by the flames, as was also the
company's largo lumber wagon which
had been loaded with pickets the night
before. ,
Mr. Klippel has charge of the firm's
lumber yard and business in this city,
and was not at the mill during the fire.
The total loss caused by the fire will
be in the neighborhood of $7000, and
the insurance was only $1800.
There is now ready for the saw at
the mill about 90,000 feet of logs, and
in all probability the firm will rebuild
at an early day.
Tho loss is quite a heavy one for
Messrs. Khppel & Marcuson, and is as
well quite a heavy loss for Medford, as
the firm had an extensive business in
this city, nnd by the burning of the
mill they will be considerably delayed
in filling orders for lumber. The loss
is more keenly felt because of the fact
that these gentlemen have worked
assiduously in the line of building up a
good business, aud now that the goal
is theirs it comes mighty tough. The
insurance on tho above property was
carried by the Sun of lxindon, A. M.
Woodford, local agent, and this week
the adjuster visited the fire scene and
settled in full.

Death of Jay Darnell.
The sad duty falls upon us this- week
of chronicling the death of Jay Darnell,
son of J. K. Darnell, of this city which
occurred on Monday June 17, 1805, Jay
waseighteeu years of age and had been
ill for several months and while all
possible was done by the attending
physician and relatives to stay the
work of the destroyer there has been
little hoH5 entertained for several
weeks, because of the fact that that
most dreaded of diseases, consumption.
had become too firmly rooted. I
Uriel funeral services were held at i
the residence on Wednesday and was j
attended by a large concourse of peo- j
pie, who had gathered to express their '
regard for the dead and sympathy for
the living in their sad hour of bereave-
inent. The remains were interred be- i
side those of his mother, in the family j
lot in the Masonic cemetery at Jack-
sonville and were followed to the place i
of their long rest by a large number of j
friends. Tho grave was beautifully
decorated with (lowers. The memo
rial sermon will be delivered sometime
in July at tho church. Deceased
made profession of faith in Christ sev
eral years ago and died trusting in Je
sus of Nazareth.

An Incomplete House.
We run wild over furnishing a house: '
its furniture, carpets, hangings, pic
tures and musie,and always forget or
neglect the most importaut requisite.
Something there should pe always on
the shelf to provide against sudden
casualties or attacks of pain. Such coma
like a thief in tho night; a sprain,
strain' sudden backache, "toothache or
neuralgic attack. There is nothiug easi
er to get than a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil,
and nothing surer tocure quickly any
form of pain. The house is incomplete
without it. Complete . it with a good
supply. -
