Geary to the posi tion of grand chancellor of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias is but the recognition of an honorable man's true worth. The lodge will never regret having given to the gentleman this position the high est within its gift. The supreme court has decided that a sheriff must serve summons . upon payment of. mileage fees. The little fixings or in other words, the expenses incident to the serv ing of summons aside from the law ful mileage don't go. The court ha3 said that the salary system don't need any fixing. A few ladies and their husbands of Eugene have actually put them selves in print as favorable to a Crater Lake Mazama club in that city with the object in view of having the whole Mazama clubs of the northwest unload themselves at Eugene and pack themselves from there over the old military road to Crater Lake. The proposition is too prejosterons to be given a single thought. The distance from Eu gene to Crater Lake is about 200 n;iles. It is needless to state that the Mazamas would appreciate the grandeur of Crater Lake when they reached it. If it is team trav el they want why not start them di rect from Portland? STILL ANOTHER CONFLAGRATION The Presbyterian Church the Object of the Fire Fiend's Wrath. This Beautiful Edifice Entirly Consumed Loss About Two Thousand Dollars. The destructive flames have again visited our city. The fire fiend is again at work. Tuesday night at half past eleven o'clock the vigorous ringing of the fire bell awoke many of our citizens from their sound slumbers, and in a few minutes our streets were "lined with an excited throng, hurrying in the direction of the fire, which was soon located in the Presbyterian church, corner Seventh and II streets. The hose team wore soon at work and did good sen-ice in getting the flames under control. It was but a few short moments, however, un til the once handsome structure was a mass of charred ruins. The walls and the belfry are still stand ing, and the bell is about all there is left of the entire structure, unin jured in fact the building is a total loss. Duties of Pupils. The following rules relating to duties of pupils attending the public schools of Medford hnve been passed by the school board. They will commend themselves to tho good judgment of the patrons of the school, and to every pupil who de sires to make tho most of his time and opportunities while in school. Tho issuing of these rules docs not indicate that our school children are in special need of them, but that Med ford is growing so fast that it is belter to anticipate contingencies than to wait until necessity urees action. The good do not object to ewholsome laws; others, who nre wise, acquiesce. Pa trons may care to keep this paper for future reference: 1. Due attention shall be given to personal neatness and cleanlinew. Any pupil failing in these respect may re sent home to be prepared for scnool. Any pupil affected with any contagious disease shall not bo allowed to remain in school. 2.

Traiuor has sold his Star testaurant to Mary I,ow, a lady who formerly resided at Talent. The lady will conduct the business as heretofore and will of course lose none of its patronage, but instead hopes to add to it. Mr. Trainor will leave Monday for Arizona and Mrs. Trainor and daughter will stop at Portland until Mr. Trainor secures a suitable location. Since the burning of the Presby terian church, school arrangements have been made as follows: Second grade. Miss Warner teacher, will meet in the Smith building, on South I) Street; Sixth grade. Miss Pickel teacher, at the M. E. church, South; Seventh grade. Miss Wait teacher, at M. E. church, and Eighth and Ninth grades, Miss Galloway teacher, at the Baptist church. The Board of Trade did a wise thing when it arranged for a re enumeration of the population of the city.

As to whether Mr. Jacobs did just the right thing, to the extent that party promises go, there is but the one conclusion to reach he did wrong, and if his party was willing to stand the censure, in case the outcome proved disastrous, the matter rested upon -them and not upon him. Was it not for the fact that Mr. Jacobs has - proven himself a most competent, honest and economical official, and by his cautious and painstaking acta has saved the county many dollars of unnecessary expense, we would feel that his party had great er grounds for censure, but in view of these things being as they have been it hardlv seems that influences have been brought to bear that j oue "real b,ood Puaer and nerve tonic, would change i b viewe.other than Hoci : Pill. forlhTli.er and bowel.
