He hasn't pro duced a blood-curdling proclama tion since. While congress is inclined to recognize a state of war in Cuba, the Spanish students are inclined to want to declare war on the United fltates. So lone as they confine their hostilities t the Spanish po lice and gen d'armes there will be bo serious complaint in this country. A few weeks ago the startling announcement was made that Per- line's comet was coming toward tt earth at the rate of about a -nillion and a half miles a day. IThile the comet was about thirty days' distant, the more recent news to the effect that the comet has changed its course will certainly be acceptable to all, as well as disper sive of visions of cyclone cellars on the part of the Kansas and Dakota contingent. When Russell Sage was con fronted with a dynamite fiend, a few years ago, he shoved his clerk id front of him as a shield. The elerk was injured bat Sage came ut of it all right. Then the clerk sued Sage for damages, and the Anal adjudication of the matter gives him $40,000 damages. Though ' Sage is said to claim a rating of sly $50,000, the general opinion is - that the verdict is none too much and that he ought to be willing that .proportion of his wealth for the privilege of being alive. The king of Corea has made a oup and avenged the death of . his j queen. He went to the Russian le gation, formed a new ministry, and dismissed all of his old ministers . Then eight of them, known as pro Japanese statesmen were, seized and beheaded, and their heads placed n pikes and exposed to the public. A cabinet crisis in Corea is a ser ious affair, yet there is not a great deal of noise made about it. Even the government itself is averse to j having much said, and so cut down the telegraph lines leading out ef the capitol, in order that the people might not be alarmed by having the news flashed upon them too suddenly. England's new poet laureate has been saying some very foolish things and so the British parlia ment thought they would take up his case and see what could be done about it. It has for some time been an acknowledged fact that his poetic feet were not mates, hut that was not a matter of so much importance as his inherent tendency to deliver himself of ut terances which only ridiculed the British people before the world. The appointment of a censor for the poet ' to the crown was suggested, but then it was discovered that a censor was impossible since the poet laureate has only succeeded to the position once occupied by the court jester or "King's Fool." Last month in Mitchell, South Dakota, a newspaper, plant, good will, and all were purchased ' by an indignant" community,' the editor notified tof leave owo- and- -the Dlant thro'wa intojajbuifei bonfire.; foul-mouthed attacks on well known citizens of the place as well as a continual abuse in the columns of his paper of a wealthy but mis guided woman, who had married him but fouud it impossible to live with him longer. The story appears on the coast something like this "Down in Dakota the bank gang and corrupt officials have adopted a new way of disposing of country newspapers that expose their rotten' ness and whose editors will not sell their principles. They just pay for the plant, then forcibly take it out in the street and burn it. Such was the case at Mitchell, S. D., on February 24. Should such a law less mob go unpunished? But they will, because they have money and influence." When a social vulture such as this appears, within the horizon that surrounds the sanctity of home, he should be thankful that time is given to depart in peace. He is not entitled to sympathy. A couple or three communica tions are unavoidably held over un til next week. Hon. H. B. Miller will deliv er a rupublican lecture at the opera house next Tuesday evening on the relation of protection to civilization. At the annnal school meeting held in Independence school dis trict, last Mondav week, W. M. Smith was elected director and Will Coleman, clerk. Last week's issue of Thb Mail numbered 2125 four hundred ex tra. That school house article sold over three hundred of these extras for us. We have yet a few left which are wrapped ready for mailing and are a nickel apiece. . C Ferguson and J. A. Lyon are Boon U open a grocery store in the old Smith store on Front street, which property these gentlemen pur chased some months ago. They ex pect to carry a general line of goods, including feed. They will remodel the store building considerably and generally improve its appearance. Rogue River Encampment, I. O. O. F., of this city, was visited by the grand chief patriarch, R. Scott, of Milwaukee, on Wednesday even ing last. Mr. Scott made a very interesting and instructive talk, besides the usual instruction in the changes made during the year. After the regular session, adjourn mentment was made to the Star res taurant, where a tempting repast was served, and an enjoyable time was had. The Union livery stables changed hands this week, C. Mingus it Son having sold their horses, carriages and harness, etc., to Williams Brothers, of Central Point. The deal was made Wed nesday and the new proprietors have swung into line. The busi ness will oe conducted by Isaac Williams who for four years, has been engaged in like business in Central Point. He is acquainted with nearly every traveling man on the road and as these gentlemen do considerable driving he is cater ing to their trade. He will bring considerable of his Central Point stock to this il ace. In all he ex pects to work about twenty head of horses. Tuesday he moved his family to Medford and they are now nicely situated in the Kuss house, on South C street Mr. Willims will give the business his personal attention and hopes to make a de- cided increase What Mr. Mingus will do is not given out as yet. The business will also continue at Central Point. After several year6 of succes sive dealings with our people in the lumber business Hon. Henry Klippel has retired from the busi ness and will devote his time hence forth to the exclusive management of his several mining interests here abouts. On Wednesday noon of this week the final transfer papers were made and into the hands of Contractor Perry Stewart passed the title to about 50,000 feet of various kinds of lumber in the yards to gether with office building and all 6tock sheds and buildings. In mak ing the transfer Mr.Klipple could not have passed it into better hands. Mr. Stewart, being himself a thorough, practicle' wood mechanic, under stands full well the needs of a yard of this nature. He is strictly honorable and reliable and we venture the assertion that no person will ever have dealings with him that are not square so far as his put of the deal is concerned. He is now at work re-arranging the yard and preparing orders for several car loads of lumber which will be shipped to him within a few weeks from Pokegama. He proposes, to give the business his exclusive at tention, a.nd through our advertis ing column&he is inviting the people hereabouts to. give him. the share of their patronage which his t reason- la In Splendid Working Shape. A Mail reDresentative while in quest of matters of local interest last week dropped in upon Elmer Bashford, at the Medford brewery and ioe plant. The machinery was working ttnelv and at that particular time the process of brewing was at its height and through the courtesy of Mr. H. J. Willraott, the brewer, your representative was shown through the building and made acquainted with all the several differ ent departments and the'r uses. In the malt house, which was built last summer, are about ten tons of barley, which alter it passes through the sev eral processes of malting Is taken to the malt mill, in the main building, and is there ground and passed on to the brew kettle from which it is taken to the mash tubs, and from here the llq- iuid is segregated from tne malt and is taken to a large sixteen barrel vat, near the top of the building, from which it passes through a pipe to the cooler. The cooler is a succession of coiled copper pipes through which water passes at ulmost a freezing de- f ree. The liquid or crude beer drips own over these pipes and by the time it has traveled over all of them it has thoroughly cooled and is then taken by other pipes into large vats in the fermenting room. To go Into de tails of all the minor processes would require a column of type, which right now is not at our disposal suffice it to say that the brewery was never in its history in better shape to do good business than right now. Everything connected therewith is in splendid working shape. Mr. Willmott, the brewer, is a most thorough and com petent workman and there is not any part of the bulness which he does not understand fully. Be has been at the business since he was ten years of age and for the past six years has made a specialty of brewing lager beer. The Medford brewery has a capacity of sixteen barrels to a brew and two brews week. Not until April first will there be any of the product placed on the market, alter which date, k. L. Bashford, who is manager of the brew ery and ice plant, will start out on the road lor the purpose or disposing or his goods in neighboring towns. The ice plant which is a part of this institution and is one of the best in the state, will not start up for a few weeks yet. but arrangements are being made for a along, steady run as it is anticipated a much greater territory win be cov ered this season than ever before. Mr. Bashford figures on freezing four tons of ice per day and X run five months. The management is in splendid hands at present and no stone will be left un turned to make It a thorough success. Mr. Willmott is assisted in his work by Charlie Child 8, who is thoroughly a good fellow and as well a good work manin many lines. When the ice- plant commences operations E. 7?. Calkins will swing into line as one of the fable employees. He will do either day or night shift as engineer and do it well, he being fully conversant with all mechanical matters appertaining thereto. There isn't a man in Medford more deserving of a good position than he is. PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES. The first three rooms are so crowded that it is necessary to put In more seats. Forty new pupils have entered school since we have moved ints the new building. The fifty volumes of books, presented by Hon. J. D. Whitman, to the public school library, are among the most valuable received. The Excelsior society of the eighth and ninth grades, and the Lowell socie ty ot the seventh, held interesting meetings last Friday afternoon. The following promotions were made last week: Frances Davis, Mary Han sen and Johnnie Barnutn to the seventh grade: Jessie Macauley to the sixth, and Sidney Campbell to the sveond. The graduating class Is looking about for subjects for graduating essays, orations, etc. It is hoped that they can in some way vary the exercises from the stereotyped style so prevalent In most places. The class in physics is doing as well as could be expected without a single piece 6r apparatus for experiments. Probably future classes will have some advantages in this line not enjoyed by the present class. , The 'following visitors have been with us during the past week: Misses Edna Gibson, Myrtle Nicholson. Mary Davison and Drilla Edwards; Mesdaraes Reanie, Smith, Johnson, Hansen and Gray, and Messrs. Elmer and Robert Faucett. Two hundred and twenty-two volumes were In the library at the close of Book Day and a number have come In since. Any good book will bo aceeptablo at any time.

CHURCH, SOUTH. The protracted meeting, whioh began last Saturday night at the M. E. church. South, continue to grow in interest. The house is crowded every night, perhaps 350 people finding seats and 40 to 50 standing one and one-half hours In the aisles to hear Rev. Ross, the unique and eloquent little preacher. His fund of anecdotes, with which he illustrates religious truth, is inexhaus table and none can fail to read between the lines. No building in the city can hold the week-night audiences soon. The services are at 10 o'clock a. m and 7 o'clock p. m. - ; ; .Doctor Danlelson, '1 Office inHalley block: over noatoffloe". NOTE AND COMMENT.

A new swindling scheme has been devised. A farmer is lnduoed to buy a blU of groceries of a traveling salesman,' the goods to be shipped from some city. In payment the man agrees to take eggs. To make It all straight and right, the larmer gives his note for the goods and the traveling man gives his for the eggs, me gooas ana salesman are never seen later, but the farmer's note turns up at the Dans. , The Oregoniaa In speaking of ioe bioycllng says; "From the suggestion thrown out by a boy who lashed an ordinary skate to the front 01 nissaieiy ana was enaoiea to make gooa time over the surface of a frozen lake two en terp rising young men in Chtcsgo hare Invented and pateated an Ice bicycle and formed a com pany for its manufacture.
