T , i aai sorry to nave to announce that one of the most accomplished and fascinating young ladies of Eagle Point has decided to leave our town and try her future in some other locality, but we are in hopes that she will change her mind and remain.

Anna Carnev, Ida Weaver, Joe Parker, John Gainey and several others, who have been on the sick lis.t, are present again.

The Excelsior society of the eighth and ninth grades is prepar ing a program called ,-An Afternoon in American Cities" for their next meeting. Music is progressing finely in the third grade. There are quite a number apt little folks in this grade and they take quite a delight in this stud v. Four new pupils have been ad mitted in the first and second pri mary rcoms since last week. This makes a total enrollment of 182 in these two rooms. Those desiring to board teachers during the institute will please in form rrof. Gregory or Miss Gallo way, stating terms and number that can be accomodated. Friday last was made memor able to the seventh grade bv Walter Hoover's two minute speech on the orang outang, which he ex ecuted with pleading ability. Because of the convenience of the seventh grade rami the four upper grades meet in that room every morning for a fifteen minutes' drill in music. Prof, uregory is their teacher. Mrs. J. A. Stewart has pre sented two valuable volumes to the library, which proves what we have before stated that many people in Medford who have no children in school are greatly interested in the young people. Pupils of the school should remember this. OBITUARY. Died, in Medford, April 25, '96, the "Sextet." It "drifted away" after a weary and prolonged struggle. Those who witnessed the "death scene" say that the tenacity with which it clung to life was truly wonderful. Funeral services were held at the Odd Fellows' hall under the auspices of that order. Sympathy is hereby extended to the suffering public in their sore affliction. Eastern papers please copy- Straight Goods. Mr. Crimsonbeak "Here, waiter! I found some feathers in this frankfurter!"

A dyuamiU train that is arranged to be fired by electricity has been laid in the outskirts and along the streets. The minus are all connected with the central laager and can be exploded separately. Official advices received at Havana state that Colonel Alden, while in pur suit of parties of relx-'ls, encountered several bands of them on the Carmen estate, near Sabnnilla, in the province of Alatauzas. The insurgents were flee- ing from an attack which had been 1 made upon thorn by the Key column, j The troops charged upon the reikis on all sides, forcing them to take refuge in the cane fields, which were burning j fiercely, and many of them perished in the flames which they themselves had 1 started. The position of Buluwnyo is most ' critical. About the town are some 15,-1 000 Matabeles, fairly well armed, while j it is defended by not more than 900 : men. The recent supplies of arms and ' ammunition were more than Iikaly lost j in a anrtia wcpntlr rnT-t.l nt,.l ih. ! - - . - J . .., UUU LUC large bodies of refugees are surely eat ing up the town's provisions. The re enforcements on the way from Mafek ing are still too far off to be of service soon. If the nntives, flushed by suc cess, make a determined rush they may overpower th laager, which is defended by machine guns and is constructed n the center of the town. For the Modish Matron.

St. Louis Republic Last winter's cold seems to have been fatal to sea animals on the French coast living as deep as one hundred feet below high water, reports M. Fauvel to the Academic des Sciences. Dredging for the Tatihou laboratory in May brought up nothing but dead or de composed specimens. The fishermen said: "The bottom of the sea has rot ted." Creatures living only in the deep sea were found on the coast, together with species that have never been seen outside of Iceland and Norway. Northern Pacific Reduces Time. re commencing Sunday, April 12th, the Northern Pacific runs two through trains daily, and reduces the running time ten hours between Portland and St. Paul, making the trip in two days j ana sixteen Hours. Train ro. 1 loaves Portland at 5 p. m.. and train Xo. 4 leaves Portland at 11:30 p. m., daily. Each train carrfos the celebrated up holstered tourist cars, as well as first class Pullman palace cars, fi nit-class day ceaches, free colonist sleepers, dining cars, and tbe usual number of other cars. The Northern Pacific is the only line running two through trains out of Portland daily; the only dining car line from Portland, the only direct lino to the Yellowstone National Park. The superior accommodations in pass enger equipments and quick time, run ning full trains right through without change of cars, gives passengers going east advantages they cannot enjoy by any other line. For safety, comfort end excellent treatment the Northern Pacific is unoqualod. It costs no more to go east by that good, safe, reliable line than by any other.

Here is another case showing that there are few remedies which cure deep seated blood diseases. Eczema is one of the most obstinate blood troubles. S. S. S. wipes out completely this dis ease, as well as all other evidences of impure blood whether obstinate or mild. There are few men better known all over DeKalb county than Mr. E. D. Jen kins who resides at Lithonia Georgia. He is the owner of a juarry of the celebrated Lithonia granite, which is so extensively used in several States, and is acknowledged to have uo superior as a paving stone. His family has lived in DeKalb for forty i years and everybody knows them. - , i "Ever since she was a year old, ... J he tit IDA JBNKIN3. teen years she has been badly broken out all over her body, causing her un told suffering, and frequently rendering her nnable to attend school. Her arms and limbs would crack open and bleed, then dry up and scale off by the hand ful, ana at one time an awful sore ap peared on her ear, which became severe ly inflamed and almost dropped off. The disease also broke out on her head and her hair was a continuous mass of scales. Her condition was truly pitia- ble. 'Of course we have done all we could to relieve her, and have given her al most every known treatment. She has taken potash mixtures and various salves and external applications by the whole sale, and almost every so-called blood remedy, all without the slightest benefit, and year by year we could not feel the slightest encouragement that she would ever be well. I was advised several times to send her to Hot Springs, and also to a celebrated spring in Michi gan, and was told that this was the only chance on earth of her ever being cured!, as the disease was too aggravated to be checked by medicines. "A few months ago, someone recom mended S. S. S., and as soon as her sys tem bad taken on the effects of this medicine, an improvement was noticed. She grew better all the while and con tinued to improve in every way We were delighted to see her o much bet ter and for the first time felt that she would get well. The medicine was con tinned a while longer, and now she is cured sound and well, her skin is clear and pure, and she has been saved from what threatened to blight her life for ever. The cure is all the more remark able because she inherited the disease, which has been in our family for several generations, and I am happy to find in S. S. S. a cure for a diseas which all the specialists in the world fail to enre. I consider S. S. S. a most wonder ful remedy, and it certainly has no equal for deep-seated blood diseases which all other remedies do not seem to touch." This experience is like that of all others who seek relief from the many so-called blood purifiers, only to be discouraged. It is but folly to expect a cure from this dreadful disease by the use of salves, lotions, or anv external application. The disease is in the blood, and only a blood remedy can eliminate it. S. S. S. is a real blood remedy, guaran teed purely vegetable, and for real deep seated blood diseases, has no equal. It cures permanently Scrofula, Tetter, Rheumatism, and all of the many blood diseases. It has made some truly re markable cures of Cancer, full accounts of which can be had on application; our valuable books on blood and skin dis eases will also be sent free to any ad dress. Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Georgia. Eczema All Her Life. Men and Women, l'atroo. There is a great difference in men anil women in their methods of buying 6hoes. This, ' says Shoe and Leather Fasts, is the opinion of a retailer who handles footwear for both sexes. Tine additional time given to suiting the fair sex is by no means lost. If a woman is satisfactorily suited she is apt to be a mora valuable and permanent patron than a man. She often talks about hsr footwear to her friends, whereas a man seldom docs. She expatiates on the satisfaction in style and fit which herskoes, purchased at sch and such a stores, give her, and she never forgets to ii'.ention how at tentive and obliging the sales people in the store are. This latter has its due effect, and Csc first tine her friends cx porience, or fancy tkey do, any lack of attention ia the store tUey have been ia tlic habit of dealing in heretofore, they resolve to visit flic one which they fcavc heard is noted for politeness and attention to patrons. In many way." it pays to be especially attentive to lady pali ohs and not t grudge them a'A the tiXie tkey wish to sor.su mc when purcliasing footwear. I fox. Joshua H.
