Miss Emma Tollman, of Ashland, u ho has lioeu giving painting lessons in Medford for several months past, closed her term on Wednesday of this week. The lady is a most excellent artist and a very able instructor. She has a large ehts"in Medford and not a mem bvr who is not entirely satisfied with the work accomplished.

Haskins, druggist. John Demmer, of this city was in the Klamath Falls stage hold-up which occurred a couple of weeks ago, but the highwayman secured not a great amount of boodle from him. He was right close onto his job and in antici pation ol a hold-up he secreted his watch and roll of money some place about the stage and when the demand "shell out" was given our wily John only had fif teen cents in his "inside pocket." There is great danger in neglect ing Colic, Cholera and similar com plaints. An absolutely prompt and safe cure is found in De Witt's Colic and Cholera cure. Geo. H . Haskins, druegisi. --Art Faris came up smiling this week and reported that he marketd 100 gallons of strawberries from a piece of land 2x4 rods in size. This, he states, knocks out J. tV.

Beginning with next Sunday tho pastor will give a prelude of ten minutes on some practical subject each Sunday evening, followed by a twenty minutu sermon. His subject next Sun day evening will be: Prelude, "Tho Bible in tho Public Schools." Sermon, "The Relation of Sin to Health." All are cordially invited. Attorney Hammond, of this city our energetic and able Austin S., is Mann I spoken of by the Lakeviow Rustler as "the hard hitter from Medford and the Ajax of tho Jackson county bar.'' We object to the last epithet. Wo are quick to admit that friend Hammond ! is great of stature, st rength and cour I age, but tho remainder of the delini i tion for "Ajux" is objected to because ! that it is not true, as the courts of Oregon and members of our state bar will attest. "See that siyn?' That tells you in bit red lettors that yon can get better bargains in clothing ut our store than ever before and that is saying consid erable, but wo mean every word we say. We have a big stock of clothing on hand, and wo are going to get rid of it if good values for Tittle money will do it. It's a ground hog case. W. H. Meeker & Co. Brooks, the irrepressible, who is now Sheriff l'alterson's only boarder at Jacksonville, made another unsuc cessful attempt to gain his liberty Fri day morning. In some manner he got hold of a crow bar and with it broke a bolt in'the dooi of the steel cage, and if he had not been discovered would soon have lieen breathing free air. Sheriff Patterson happened that way, however, and made him give up the bar, and it looks as though ho would still be compelled to remain in jail. A. T. Markley, the Aloha evapora tor man, is making many improvements about his evajxrator. The capacity of the institution has been very nearly doubled since last year and Mr. Mark ley is satisfied ho will have all the bus iness he can jiossibly attend to. Last year ho had a fairly good business, notwithstanding the fact that there was not one-third the fruit in the val ley that there is now. Mr. M. is a square man in his business and too much patronage cannot be given him. Nute Jaooos is thinking seriously of suing the city of Medford for dam ages a broken leg received Saturday i - i ,. : .i i i vw-. UJ -"'- the occasion which leads up to thi i, i - thought. A sharp point of the broken leg came very near striking him in the face as he fell to tho walk. As the leg was a crutch the damage if assess d to the city would burden us not a con siderable unless the damage bo based upon severed friendship the crutch having been with him and in constant use for about eight yea-. J. . Johnson, of Table Rook has an ad verlisomoiit running in The Mail of lard for sale, and from faraway Kan sas comes letters of inquiry regarding his property the writers having seen the ad in The Mail. In this connection we wish to say that Mr. Johnson is f!l to the brim with reliable information regarding Southern Oregon and any one writinjr to him will be given, gratis, all the information desired. Strangers desiring to be shown about the country will find Mr. Johnson ready to com ply with their demand whether they purchase from him or not. ( The lecture at the Christian church Thursday evening of last week by Har old E. Slonser, recently of Berkley University. Calif., on the" Y. P. S. C. K. ; and the church, was deserving of a: wide hearing. Less than fifty auditors were present, but every one of them I highly appreciated the address and wouid earnestly desire to hear the cen- tleman farther. Mr. Mouse r is a man of pleasing address an earnest and! forcible speaker, and has something to I say when he talks, lie is on a tour ot the northwest coast, -not for profit, but to see the country and its people. G. W. Priddy began development work on his ledge of limestone in the Willow Springs district a few weeks ago and now he has 500 bushel of lime burned and ready for the market. The lime has been tested and has proved a very correct article tor the several uses for which it is intended. As Mr. I Priddy is a mason his lime find fits in very nicely .with his business. The ledge which ho has found is reported to be a very large one, from which will be taken and burned another kiln this season. George is a good, honest, bard working gentleman and if he has struck something that will net him a few dollars on the side The Mail rejoices thereat. j Alex. Ireland reports that the woods a few miles back from the ocean beach, and for a distance north and j south covering several counties in Ore-j gon. are full of deer slayers, who have j already killed several hundred doer; this season, one camp having taken j upwards of 400 skins. The hair is re-! moved from the skins and they are: shipped from small senports to San i Francisco, billed as "buckskin." This i wholesale slaughter of doer is in direct j violation of the state game iaw, but so j long as our game commissioners are j men out irom tne sut nai anu kiu glove pattern the slaughter will piob ably continue until there are no more doer to slaughter. Roseburg had a genuine hold-up ouo night last week. As John Sweeny was walking along the railroad tmck near the round house two men came up behind him and, while one of them held him the other one went through his pockets, relieving him of his loose change to the amount of about $4. Later in the evening Sweeny dropped into a saloon and saw both of tho men who robbed him. He grabbed one of them, but the other one got away. The one captured gavo the name of James Curren, and the next day waived examination and was held in t500 hail to the grand jury. He was unable to give bail and as a result will spend a few months as the county's visitor. H. C. Morrell. Jr., representing the California Fruit Transportation company, was in tho valley last week in the interest of his company. The ob ject of his visit was to ascertain if there was a probability of the eastern fruit shipments from this valley being largo enough to justify the .establish ing of a refrigerator car service. We understand that he met with cont-idoi-able encouragement and will undoubt edly establish this service tho coming fall. Tho price per car, to Missouri river points is $110 per car. The company gives good refrigerator ser vice anu their cars aro well equipped, and special attention is given to the iceing of the cars and care of the fruit during transportation. Upon Wednesday of last week there arrived in Medtord, by t?am, and from Idaho, P. B. Hitoand his son G. W. Hito. The father was ill upon their arrival and l)r Kirchgcssner was sum moned to their tent, which was pitched in northwest Medford, but the trip from Idaho had been more than the gentleman could stand and despite all medical aid ho died on the "Friday following. He was seventy-three years of iige and was in poor health before leaving Idaho and came here in hopes of i'.s being improved and by advice of his physician. His malady was hearts disease. Being without means neces sary to defray theexpense ol burial his remains were taken charge of and bur ied by the county. Funeral services were held Saturday by Rev. Eli Fisher, of the Christian church. You will miss it if you miss taking advantage of our "Happy Home" cloth ing sale, which continues until July "th. Our prices are always low but until the above date they will be more so. We aro advertising our business and no means can be adopted that will secure the desired result quicker than selling good goods for little money. W. li". Meeker & Co. The annual encampment of the Christian church will be iM.-ld at their camp grounds at Turner, near Salem. June lst to 30th. Reduced rates are promised on all railways. The grounds are beautifully situated for camping purposes and are provided with a num ber of cottages, dining hall, and a tab ernacle with a seating capacity of :!KH eople yet this vast building is utterly inadequate to accommodate the thou sands that throng these encampments. The general interests of the church. Sunday School Endeavor and Wom en's work, under direction of state organization, hold annual meetings during these encampments. Elder and Mrs. Eli Fisher, of this city, being life members of the Missionary society, and otherwise interested in the M4s sionary work of that cnurch, will be in attendance at the encampment, conse quently the pulpit at Medford will be otherwise supplied during the elder's absence.
