Grove will next Sunday at 7:30 p.m. preach Cattle buvers are Retting to be almost as thick as office seekers in this neighborhood. On Thursday of last week Drs. Officer and Patterson performed a sursical operation on the son of Dan'l Gray. Harry Carlton and Charles Jones, who have been to the coast looking after cattle interests, returned home Wednesday. Miss Daisy Stanfield, formerly of this place, is here visiting friends. She came out on Tuesday of last week with your correspondent and wife. Mrs. M. S. Wood started for Ashland last Saturday to spend a week among friends and look after the interests of her sister, the late Miss Etta Griffith. A man by the name of Mitchel came in from Klamath county with Mr. Abbeloose for the purpose of buying up a band of cattle. He has bought several head in this neigh borhood. One of the Ormiston boys, who has been assisting in nursing Prof. P. H. Daley, had a business call to California last week, whether he has gone. Prof. Daley, whose case is pronounced somewhat improved, was quite loth to part with him. John Irwin, of The Dalles, has been here a few days visiting the Hoyt brothers, and looking up cattle. He and Ed. Hoyt came near getting into trouble in Butte creek. They drove into what proved to be quite deep water, and as a result they had to ride some three miles in wet clothes. Lorenzo (Bud) Obenchain, of Klamath county, came in on Mon day of last week to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Obenchain, and to help Benj. Abbeloose drive his band of cattle out to his Klam ath county ranch. Benj. Abbeloose also came in about the middle of last week, and expects to start out as soon as the weather permits. Last Saturday, notwithstanding the heavy rain storm, our town was crowded with men, women and children. It had been announced the populists were going to hold their primary, and the result was that they came from every quarter and reminded one cf a swarm of bees in May. By a little after 1 o'clock p. m. the hall was thronged with anxious and interested voters. The meeting was called to order and V. H. Bradshaw was chosen chairman and James Keat secre tary. After a few appropriate re marks by the chair they proceeded to elect nine delegates to attend the county convention in Medford. One good move, in the right direc tion, was a resolution doing away with the proxy business every man was expected to attend in person. The meeting resulted in the election of nine delegates as follows: A. Hoyt, W. W. French, S. A. Carlton, R. R. Minter, J. W, Smith. M. F. Hurst, G. W. Stevens, Wert Pool and James Kent, and Messrs. S. A. Carlton, F. W. Mitchel, W. W. Smith and R. R. Minter as precinct committee and F. W. Mitchel, who is also a mem ber of the county committee, as chairman of the precinct committee. Central Point Items. ' RevtW. B. Moore, of Jackson ville, tarried here Saturday night. There are quite a number of our citizens attending circuit court this week. Peter Applegate has returned home from the state republican convention. J. E. Harvey was up from Gold Hill on Friday looking after his business;here. Miss Mary Jacobs, who has Bpent several weeks in Ashland, returned home last week. Miss Stella Stidham, who is teaching school on Applegate, spent Saturday at home. Miss Helen Little took charge of the spring term of school on Big Butte last Monday. Mrs. E. M. Leever and Miss Mary Magruder has opened a dress making shop on Manzanita street, Stephen Cornutt and family will leave for California in a few days to make that place their future home. Edward R. Owen died at the residence of his brother, W. A. Owen, on Eriday evening after a long and painful illness. He was buried in the Jacksonville cemetery on Sunday, and was followed to his last resting place by a large concourse of friends. ' Mrs. Chas. .Murphy, of Wasco county, is paying her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. McDonald, of Tolo, a visit. Mr. Joseph Downinc and wife are at Ashland, at the bed-side of Mrs. James Downing, who is in a critical condition. L. C. Rodenberger, Mrs. Sarah Baker, Mrs. Win. ISichols, John Jacobs and Win.

Miss Maud Boothby is stopping with Mrs. Geo. Gray, at the Skookum ranch. Stan. Aiken has replenished his stock. The store is quite a con venience and Stan, is the proper people to supply the wants of all. Geo. Stockton killed a timber wolf a few days ago not three hun dred yards from his door. The wolf stood three feet high and was six feet in length was shot at twenty paces. The animal was chasing a deer, which deer was nearly run to death and frightened out of its wits as it ran through Stockton's door-yard; it took a rest not two steps in front of E. S. Moore's door, and passed very near R. Rasmussen,s house before taking to the woods. Our postmistress, Mrs. Ada M. Aiken, will have one of the pretti est door-yards to be seen when the plants therein are in bloom. The lady loves flowers, gives them the care they need and the result is very satisfactory. Stan, has had something to do with beautifying the place, bringing a stream of water from the creek to keep flowers and shrubs fresh throughout the summer, said stream finally empty ing into a basin forming a good sized lake, the bank of which is but a few steps from the door, and is stocked with carp and other fish. Notes From Eden Precinct. BY FARMER. I have nothing of especial in terest to report from this bection this week except a surprise party last Thursday evening, given in honor of Miss Sarah Copeland's 17th birthday. The party was given at Miss Copeland's home; Misses Sloper and Smith did the secret work, and it proved a complete and also an agreable surprise. The evening was spent in various party plays and the usual round of fun was had. We trust Miss Copeland will have many such pleasant sur prises as time rolls on. I am not fully prepared to give the names of those present, but to the best of my knowledge the following list is cor rect: Misses Minnie and Irene Sloper, Bell and Effie Mills, Lilly Edsal. Messrs. Wm. Mills, Fred Edsall, 3en Sloper, John Stewart, Edward Hughs, Gilbert Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Gallaher, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Anderson, W. M. Smith and family. Sams Valley Items. Chas. Moon made a flying trip to Louse creek last week. S. T. Hodges and family and Mrs. A. L. Gall visited in Ashland several days last week. Bert Rowe, of Kerbyville, wh has been visiting his parents at thiB place, has returned to his home. W. S. Gall and J, Wyatt struck some flattering prospects last week in their quartz ledge near Payne gulch. At the populist convention held in Table Rock precinct Saturday, the following delegates were elected; C. C. Gall, F. L. Rowe, W. P. Van Hardenburg, A. L. Gall, S. M. Nea lon, J. E. Potter, M.

For some time a pet Jersey cow has been fail ing in her milk and in no way could Mr. F. account for this shrinkage; about the same time that the milk began to fail, a small pig (and by the way the only one the mother was blessed with) began to grow exceedingly fat, but im agine the owner's surprise when one day he discovered the youthful swine sitting on his haunches, with his front feet resting against the cow's legs taking milk by the wholesale. The cow seems to be quite satisfied with her young care and the two can be found together most any time during the day. The cow lost her calf only a few weeks ago, which may have something to do with her liking for the pig. For a few days visitors invited free. Call to Action.

The resolutions aud speeches at , Washington on the subject of Cuba 3tirred up so much feeling against the i United States in Spain that the Span- ! ish government had its hands fully j occupied for a good many days in sup- pressing mobs. ine conduct or the university students at Madrid, Cadiz, and Barcelona was of so disorderly a nature that the universities were pre emptorily closed, and will remain in a state of suspended animation for some time to come. The public burning of American flags, or their trampling in the dust under the feet of angry motu, has beeu quite the regular proceeding in all parts of Spain; and nothing but great vigilance on the part of the au thorities has prevented the mobbing of the American legation, and several consulates, from going so far as vio lence to the persons of our representa tives. It is much to be regretted that all this feeling against the United States was so needlessly aroused. No possible benefit can result from the outburst of Spanish wrath against America. ' Although some of the sen atorial speeches were so excessively uncomplimentary to Spain, and al though every one in the United States has a very bad opinion of Spanish me thods in the government of Cuba, it is not true that there has been any feel ing whatever in the United States of hostility toward Spain or the Spanish people. With much sympathy for the Cuban people, and much disapproval ot the policy of the Spanish govern ment, there has been no unfriendliness toward the Spanish people. The young students in several American colleges who have, as a mere frolic, indulged in the burning of Spanish flags, have been guilty of a very objectionable sort of folly. Their behavior has been worth notice only because of the dan ger that it would lead to a misconcep tion of American sentiment in Spain and Europe.

"It is difficult to im agine how despondent we all became." said Mr. Crausby, "knowing that she must die and unable to give her any relief. I had spent over five hundred dollars with the best medical skill to be had. and felt that there was no further hope. "One day I happened to read an ad vertisement of S. S. S., recommending that remedy for cancer, and in view of the failure of the most eminent physi cians in the country, I confess I had little faith left in any human agency. However. I pu rchased a bottle of S. S. S. , and to my delight it seemed to benefit her. After she had taken a couple of bottles the cancer began to heal, and astonishing as it may seem, a few tat tles more cured her entirely. You can probably better understand how re markable this cure was when I explain that the cancer had eaten two holes in the breast two inches deep. These healed up entirely, and although ten years have elapsed, not a sign of the disease has ever returned, and we are assured of the permanence of the cure, which we at first doubted. "As my wife inherited the cancer, I certainly regard S. S. S. as the most wonderful remedy in the world, and it is truly a Godsend to those afflicted with this terrible disease. You may be sure that I shall always be grateful to that remedy, for without it my home would now be desolate and my chil dren motherless." The above is but one of many re markable cures being daily made by S. S. S. Cancer is becoming alarm ingly prevalent, and manifests itself in such a variety of forms, that any lump, sore or scab, it matters not how small, which does not readily heal up and dis appear may well be regarded with suspicion. We will gladly send to any address, full accounts of several other cures fully as remarkable as this one. For real blood troubles, S. S. S. has no equal. It wipes out completely the most obstinate cases of blood diseases, which other remedies do not seem to touch. S. S. S. gets at the root of the disease, and forces it out permanently. S. S.

Decorations of Royalty Which Have I) eon i'airly Won. There are princes and princesses who wear among their decorations med als for saving life at the risk of their own, medals that have not been grant ed by way of mere compliment, says the New York Mercury, but whicn have been honestly and honorably earned. Other nionarchs whose courage and presence of mind entitle them to wear this highly-prized badge are prevented from so doing by reason of the fact tliat it falls within their own province to confer it, and they do not wish to bestow it upon themselves. A royal lady decorated with this , medal is Dowager Queen Pia of Portugal, who is as magnificent a swimmer as the queen regent of Spain or Princess Helen of Orleans. Queen Pia, while fully dressed, swam out into the sea at La Granja some years ago and rescued two children whose boat had been capsized by a heavy sea. Her son, the present king of Portu gal, ought by rights to wear one of these medals as well, having last year personally intervened in a struggle be tween two men and saved the life of the weaker of the two, in addition to hold ing the would-be murderer until assist ance could be procured. King Oscar of Sweden wears a life saving medal, granted him before he ascended the throne by Emperor Na poleon III. He has the right to wear several medals of this sort, for the act of courage thus recognized by the French ruler is by no means the only service to humanity rendered by the royal Anak. The feat wlnoh won him the medal was the stopping, on the Corniche road, of a pair of runaway horses which were on the point of precipitating them selves, along with the carriage and its occupants, over a precipice upon the rocks many hundred feet below. At another time he plunged into the water to save a boy from drowning at Xice; and while serving in the Swedish navy he sprang overboard one very squally night to save a sailor who had fallen into the sea. His son. Prince Oscar, wears a Swed ish medal for saving the life of a drown ing man whose boat had been capsized by a sudden puff in the port of Karls krona. Almost identically the same feat was performed two years ago by the gigan tic Prince George of Greece, who dived from the quarter-deck of a man-of-war anchored in the Bay of Piroeus to rescue a sailor. He has likewise been specially decorated by the emperor of Russia for preserving the tsarovitz from death in Japan. All the More Reason. He had met with serious losses in business, and added to that his wife, whom he adored, w as snatched away by death, lie could neither cat nor sleep, and his friends were alarmed about his condition. One of them said to him: "You ought to consult a doctor." "What's the use? Life has lost nil charms for me and 1 want to die, anyhow." "You want to die? All the more reason for calling a doctor."
