Deafness Cannot be Cared.
By local application, as tbey cannot reaob the
dlseaned portion ot the car. There 1b only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constllu
tioral remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of- the
Eustachian tube. When tbis tube gets Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, aDd unless the lnflamatlon can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out ot ton are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any case
of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure Send for circu
lars, free. Sold by druggists, 75u. Hull's Fum
ily Fills are the best.

. Graduating ExercUesv .
Our public scnoois have closed.
After nine months of diligent work,
work that has been wrought with ob
stacles at almost every turn, because
of inadequate school room, work that
has been marred by barriers that
seemed almost insurmountable, and
work that has required a strong
will to accomplish, eight of our boys
and girls have demonstrated that any
one, no matter what obstacles fall in
their pathway, may, if he have a strong
arm, a clear head and a determined and
honest purpose, rise with the aid of
our publio schools until he stands foremost-in
the honor and confidence of
his fellow men. We are pround of our
school. Schools in every age of the
world have been the chief factor in
man's onward march in civilization.
Blessings every where follow its advanc
ing footsteps. It travels over no blood
stained fields to accomplish its noble
ends. It brings man into harmonious
and friendly intercourse. It brings
men together. Wherever we go,
whether at home or abroad, it is toe
schools that control the great interests
of the world and makes the affairs of
man mighty. That is why we are proud
of our school; that is the reason that no
effort should be spared to encourage
the coming generation to arm them
selves with the weapon that rules the
universe. It is needless for-us to djrell
upon the history of our Medford public
schools during the past year. Suffice
to say that, notwithstanding the ad
verse circumstances under which the
pupils and teachers have labored, they
have, with never faltering determina
tion, surmounted the difficulties that
blocked the pathway and are now en
titled to their well-earned vacation,
and to the teachers is due the
doepest gratitude of these whom
they have so .diligently served dur
ing the year lust past. As au evi
denco of the great interest felt in our
schools it is only necessary to say that
over seven hundred people, tho largest
crowd ever gat be red in tho Medford
opera bouse, eon cremated there last
Friday evening to witness the graduat
ing exercises of those who reached the
goal. The 6lace was gaily decorated
and lavishly strewn with choice roses.
w ben tho hall had been packed to Its
utmost capacity and the standing room
had all been appropriated, the Medford
school band opened tho exercises of
tho evening by an overture, '"The Nug
get Nell." Then the curtain was drawn.
revealing tho graduating class seated
in a semi-circle on the stage. The ex
ercises, proper, were opened bv a
touching prayer by Rev. Wood which
was followed by the class son?, "At
the Threshold,' by the class of VHI, fol
lowed by Miss Zou Brans, who, in her
plcasiiig and charming inauner, inter
ested the audience on the subject: "Is
Patriotism Declining in America?
Her rendition showed careful work aud
training and was heartily applauded by
the audience. After Miss Bruus came
Warren Cameron in "America's De
mands in Education," which he
brought forth in a. manner common
datory to him and which showed that
he was master of his subject. "America
in Invention," by Helen Holtan was
tbe next theme for discussion, and she
demonstrated to the audience that
America leads the world in science.
"The Cause of America's Success," by
L. May Phipps, was a subject full of
patriotic sentiments and one in which
tbe deepest interest was manifested.
Then, by way of variety, an octet was
rendered by the teachers which elicited
encore alter encore and which pre
pared the audience for the next sub
ject, "'America's Resources," by Ida H.
Weaver. She presented it in a thorough
and vivid manner and did not tail to
hold the attention of her hearers. Ar
bitration Instead of War" by Floyd M.
White, was so strongly advocated that
all doubts as to bis aversion to war was
thoroughly eliminated, and that fact
being well established the audience
prepared themselves to bear what Miss
Edith M. White had to say on "Ameri
can Literature," and tbey were in full
accord with her sentiments in which
she, in a very able manner, eulogized
our American authors, lauding them
as the superior of all authors. Then
came "Our Country's Future" by W.
W . r erguson and should his prognosti
cations come to pass, the future genera
tion will be far in advance of the pres
ent in enlightenment as we are in ad
vance of the inhabitants of the dark
ages, mis concluded tbe graduating
exercises and the next thing was the
presentation of diplomas by Hon. W.
H. Parker who, after a few well chosen
remarks, in which he urged them to
continue their work, aim above the
mark, depend on self reliance, etc.. he
handed them their, diplomas' which is
tbe evidence of their faithful and dili
gent labors. .Then the parting class
song ended the first part of tbe pro
gram. While the graduates were oreoarinir
for the second part, the audience were
entertained by a tambourine drill by
about thirty little girls which was
splendidly executed and which showed
very careful training. . After this the
audience, led by Prof. Gregory, sang
"America" and then came the reunion
of the class in 1916, which was one of
the most amusing features of the even
ing. From high school graduates of
1896 tbey had become travelers of
world-wide fame, inventors that the
most imaginative had never dreamed
of and the new woman, Oh! how . evi
dent was she! -
Tho program differed, materially
from the general run of graduating ex
ercises, in that the customary valedic
torian, gatuiatormn and class prophesies
were omitted and the program as given
above was rendered. The subject!
were all on one theme, ''America," first
last and the all time, and although the
subject of. America is one thut will
always elicit the greatest enthusiasm
among our people, a little diversity -in
termingled witn tnese suojecis might
not have been amiss. But the exer
cises were a complete success, crowned
with evidence of careful preparation,
presented with marked indications of
careful training, and received with
evidence of a deep and lasting interest.
To Prof. Gregory who has labored so
faithfully and assiduously to muintain
the credit of our school in the laco of
adversity;to his assistants whoso whole
energy has been in tho work of our
schools aud who havo not left a stone
unturned to further tho interest of
those hom they represent; to the pu
pils who have, by thoir tutors' assist
ance made it possible to attain such
credible resuits;to the school board who
have been so persistent in their efforts
to make Medford one of the . leading
educational centers-.of Southern-Ore
on and .to the parents and friends who
ave been so liberal in their' support,
is due honor and credit that must
necessarily attract attention abroad as
well as at home and give Medford a
filace among the most progressive cities
n Oregon.

A PRISONER'S LADDER.
tor Cllrabtag Out and Back
Urn Vlattatf Hu iwnctlimirt.
Warden Patten, of the Indiana prison
south at Jefferson ville, has on exhibi
tion one of the most remarkable con
trivances of a prisoner that ever came
into his collection. It is a ladder made
of thousands of small ' pieces of twine,
threads, cords and rope, such as a con
vict would secretly collect through
years of effort. With the rope Thomas
Shepherd used to climb a thirty-foot
wall and get out of the penitentiary
yard night after night to visit an .old
sweetheart. He never attempted to
escape, and when his ladder was found
one night he returned before hia ab
sence had been discovered, rang the
ball at the front gate, and surrendered
himself." On his arm be carried a 'rob
ber coat, which had been used to con
ceal his striped shirt. He wore moc
casins orer his shoes. t 4
Shepherd told a straightforward
story, so far as it went. He had made
the ladder, he said, in order that he
might visit a woman outside the prison.
He bad gone to her house only four
times, he said. The other nurht, when
he returned, he found his ladder gone
from the wall, and at once he decided
to give himself up. He would not tell
the woman's name, but the prison of-
I ficials think they have discovered her
Sullivan county, InL, some years ago
to live in Jeffcrsonvaie. near her oa-
vict lover.
Shepherd said that he wove his lad
der at night, and that it took him
months to finish it. It contained
threads, strings and bits of cords of
every size, length and color. They
were woven, knotted and twisted
skillfully.
Shepherd was sent to prison to serve
a life sentence in 1S75. A new trial
was secured two years later, and he
was recommit ted on the same sentence
on April 10. I7K. He has continually
pptitiiMHt! f..r vecutire clemency, aud
two ye.irs r.jf his sc-ntcij'.x r.-as com
muted to t wenty -years, lie will be re
leased, consequently, on April IS, 1893.
He was a country school-teacher. One
night at an apple paring he had a
quarrel with a man named Macey
En jrle over a girL Engle had Shepherd
arrested, and one night, before the case
was tried, Engle was assassinated.
Shepherd was convicted purely on cir
cumstantial evidence, and has alw&n
maintained his innocence. -
They'll be here this week a. little of every-,
thing. Muslins, sheeting, ginghamB, Swisses,
