Friday evening a disa greement between Chas. Anderson, of Phoenix, and James Stevens, of Gold Hill arose and to strengthen Anderson's side of the argument he hit Stevens across the forehead with the butt end of a buggy whip which be was using as a cane, cutting an ugly gash. Ander son, after seeing what he bad done, skipped out and has not been heard from since. At first it was thought that Stevens would die, but he soon re covered and is now all right. A war rant was sworn out for Anderson's ar rest but be has not as yet been appre hended. There were no eye witnesses to the affair, and a number of stories are told regarding it. Chas. Anderson is the son of J. A. Anderson, of Eden precinct, a highly respected citizen. There is not a word to come from any one but sympathy for both Mr. and Mrs. Anderson in the trouble which is being almost continually thrust upon them by their wayward son. In speak ing of the son there is hardly a word that can be said to his credit and TnK Mail sincerely hopes that justice may overtake him and that he be made to pay the penalty which his lawlessness so richly deserves. 10 the parents, in common with all who know them, we extend sympathy, and regret that their fetter home training did not go further toward framing a different life for their son. Agents wanted, to canvass for "Sil ver and Gold," or "Both sides of the Money Shield." This book is a ready seller Something every body will want. Address L. W. Bobbins, State Agent, Central Point, Oregon. Our building boom is waning not a little bit. New buildings are con tinually putting themselves under con templation and no sooner are they contemplated than are the contracts awarded for their immediate con struction. Among the latest to waltz into the arena is Merchant E. E. Thompson. He has purchased three acres of land of S. W. Speas, over near the young Mr. Lindley's place and will at once commence the construction of a beautiful cottage thereon . The build ing will be 32x38 feet in size, one story high. There will be a sitting and din ing room, with folding doors between, a bed room, pantry, kitchen and closet all arranged and finished in the neatest and most convenient way possi ble. At the rear there will be a 12x12 hollow walled brick cellar, also a large woodshed with a porch running from house to same. The front gabie will be plastered with cement plastering and in it will be thrown, when green, bits of broken colored glass giving it the effect of an old Roman esque building. The front and side walls, or foundation, will be built of rough face stone in courssd asher st3'le. The building is going to be a very pretty one, as wellas convenient. W. J. Bennet is the architect and L. M. Lyans the contractor. Work will com mence at once. The cost of the build ing will be about $1800. There are many good reasons why you should use One Minute coueh cure There are no reason why you should not, if in need of help. The only harmless remedy that produces immediate result. Geo. H. Haskins, druggis. There is discord tin the ranks of the Advance Guard or God's Regular Army. (Parenthetically let us state that to use the above term seems al most, if not quite, sacrilegious.) On Tuesday of this week Lieutenant Gen eral W. C. Purdey appeared before Judge Purdin and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Captain Chas. Carroll, charging him with the larceny of a pair of shoulder straps, which straps gave to said Carroll the rank and sta tion of captain in the army. For some reason, unknown to these columns. Cap tain Carroll had previously been de posed and in taking his departure from the army's quarters he neglected to leave behind the above mentioned straps of honor and rank hence the arrest. Judge Purdin figured that the arrest grew out of discord in the camp and discharged the prisoner. The costs were taxed to the prosecution and on the "profit and loss" ledger page they were credited under the head of "loss" the prosecution not having the necessary with which to liquidate. No return of costs will be made to the county. The deposed Captain has secured a base drum and is now holding services on the streets each evening. Bellinger & Payne are in the field for your work in the dray line. All work done with dispatch and care. Every line of work given especial at tention. Mose Alford: "I, as one of the hunting- party spoken of in your paper a few weeks ago, appreciate the few lit tle pleasantries indulged in by Frank Mingus at the party's expense. Frank is a capital good fellow to have upon a trip of that kind only that the party of , necessity mutt not gat further than oae THE day's drive from Medford. While he dwelt quite at length upon what wo took along and what we did not take, the ,Nirty had only to regret that they did not provide themselves with a rat tle to amuse Krankie with when he be came homesick. Q He was taken with 'that tired feeling' the second night out and nothing short of a draught of Winslow's soothing syrup or a look at home would appease his continual wail."' Mrs. C. W. Palm has just received another large invoice of millinery, and has now the best selected stock in Southern Oregon. Call on Mrs. Palm for millinerv "Curfew tolls the knell of partiug day." That was all right when curfew was used for that purpose but here in Medford, right now, it is being used for a different purpose that of tolling the departure of our young boys and girls for home. The hours for this tol ling are eight thirty p. m. in the wintar and nine in the summer, and if the voungsters do not obey its com mands and gather themselves beneath the family roof tree the marshal has been tol(fe)ed to tow them jail ward and there incarcerate them until they havo drank their fill of humiliation, quaft from the cup of indiscretiou. In the absence of a special curfew belt the fire bell will bo rung at the above hours to date from this Friday nicht.

Now you gentlemen who send away stop a room-ml and think. Here are tailors in Medford they live here pay rent employ help pay out good money at home. How can you expect theui to succeed unless you patronize them? If you want a suit of clothes patronize Med ford home firms.

Why, those stylish hats in the window at the Racket store. Just what you want, at prices to suit the times. The brick work being done on the new school building is of superiorqual ity and to Contractor Priddy there are due many words of compliment. Every brick must be of a grade first-class, every one of them laid absolutely true and the lines as straight as 'tis possible for the best workmen to place them . While this superior work is true as to brick it is equally so with the stone work. The foundation is positively one of beauty and much strength. Mr. Wait is doing a splendid job. Suppose you go take a look at that elesrant line of capes, at Angle & Ply male's, and while there ask to see their new line of up to date cloaks. The friends of Rev. H. S. Shangle hereabouts will regret to learn of the severe and almost fatal burning of his little child, at Oakland, last week.
