w vcwc rc the riTV Wm. Ulrich returned home last Sunday from San Francisco where he had gone, with two carloads of cattle. In answer to the questions of a Mail reporter, he said that the markets were ' fair in San Francisco at the present time, and that he could easily handle all the stock of Jackson county this fall. He is paying for cattle from 1.25 to 1.60 per hundred and two cents per pound for hogs. He expects to ship a train load of cattle soon, which will be followed by another in quick succession. "How. do they treat you down there?" asked the reporter. "Well, let 'em catch a suckerand see. Just like any one else. If you catch a sucker, bump his head. No, unless a man has had some experience in shipping he had better stay at home. For instance, how many people in this valley know that when you land your cattle'in San Fran cisco, that they are met at the cars by the toll collector, and five cents per head demanded before you move them? And another thing-, if they find a man who is not on to the ropes oh, they can tell them they will charge him ten cents per head for weighing them." "Have they any right to do that?" "No, they have not." "So you think unex perienced men had better keep away from the city?" squeezed the reporter in siaeways. "Well, they can do as they please but they had better have a friend there so they can borrow the price of a return ticket to, Oregon. "I've been talking about pretty things in general that is, about my lovely line of crockery but I'm going to tell vou about pretty things in par ticular this week. I've lust received some of the finest banquet lamps ever seen in Southern Oregon so pretty that even the most fastidious could but admire. They are cheap as well as pretty and just the thing you want to grace your parlor table. Call and see them.'" Wolters, the grocer. The bicyclists of this city are cir culating a petition for the considera tion of the town board of trustees praying for the repeal of the bicycle ordinance which was passed last spring and for the enactment of another one ljuch would commensurate with the wishes of the citizens in general and at the same time allowing the use of sidewalks for bicyclists under proper and just restrictions. The prohibitory terms of the proposed ordinance are of such a character that would insure the safety of the pedestrians and would be of great service to the riders. Here are "a few of the main prohibitory clauses: Riding at a faster rate than four miles per hour, to be prohibited. Every rider of a bicycle on a sidewalk to give warning of his approach by a bell, whistle or voice. Every male rider of a bicycle must dismount on meeting or passing a lady on a side walk less than five feet in width. , Street crossings to be given invari ably to pedestrians. Fines to be im posed for any violation of these clauses. The petition will be presented as soon as possible and it is sincerely hoped by those interested that some provis ' ions will be made for the convenience of those who are compelled to go to and from their place of business on bi cycles. The effect of many perfect gems are marred by poor settings so is the effect of many a pretty hat marred by poor trimmings but mine are not. I have . some of the most beautifully trimmed i hats in Southern Oregon and the prices are in keeping with the times. Mrs. Sears at the Racket. That the members of the M. E. church of this city know how to show - their appreciation of that which is done for their, good, and in compliance with their expressed wishes, was unmistaka bly proven on the evening of the th, of this month, when about fifty of them I betook themselves to the home of their Dastor, Rev. Gittins, who had been re turned to labor for. them for the ensu ing year, and gave him a reception so cordial and sincere that it will ever be remembered by him as one of the hap - piest days of his life. They didn't stop with merely calling upon him and as suring him of their approval of the con ference returning him to their midst, but they were laden with all kind of good things for the family larder,which they deposited on the table, with many expressions of good wishes for ' himself and family, and then after a couple of hours of social converse, in--. terspersed with music and singing,they each and all bade him and his most es- - timable family a hearty good night and returned to their respective homes, well pleased with their evening's past- time, and glad of an opportunity to ex- press their appreciation in a substan : tial manner. Fresh and cured meats, sausages, - etc, can now be had at the Westside market, where the lowest market price prevails. Give me a call. Westside Market, two doors south of the West ern hotel. , ' Recorder W. T. York was, on Tuesday of this week, appointed local agent for the Northern Pacific railroad company for Med ford. Mr. Raine was . formerly the company's agent at this place, but his contemplated removal to other parts necessitated his resigning. The company is working into a good i business down this way and there is no 1 good reason why this road should not do half, if not more, of all the tran3 ontinental business. It is unquestion ably one of the very best of lines and fair, honest treatment is always ac corded its patrons. Mr. York, the new local agent, knows prerty nearly every body hereabouts and we will venture the assertion that the road's busi ness will increase from this date. Mr. York has lots of friends here who will want him to dp a good business " and they will help him get it. Mrs. C. W. Palm nas just received a large and complete stock of fall mil linery, comprising all the latest nov e'ties in hats and trimmings, and re spectfully invites the ladies of Rogue river valley to call, examine goods and get prices. " Robt. Bond, the young man from Trail creek who was arrested and ! bound over a few weeks ago to appear before the grand jury for stealing and selling a horse belonging - to Wm. Crane, of this city, is also a defaulter, so it is reported, to the amount . of about ninty dollars, having mis-appropriated the school funds of the Trail school district of which he was clerk. He has been making strenuous efforts to raise the required amount and replace it before the grand jury meets, but so far his efforts have been unavailing and unless fortune should come to his rescue he will have to meet a much more serious charge than the one for which be is now held. Max Muller is one of his bondsmen, and while he will give him every opportunity to refund the money, he will probably prosecute him unless he does so.

A hacking cough is not onlv an- uoying to others, but is dangerous to the person who has it. One Minute couffh cure will quicklv put an end to it. Geo. H. Haskins, druggist. If any of our readers doubt for a moment that the statements which we have made during the past several months to the effect that Medford mer chants are selling lots of goods, let us tell you that the shipmeuts into the city will attest to the truthfulness of the statements. Only last Monday three carloads of goods were unloaded in this city and the daily average is trom one to three carloads. Aside from these, last Monday's receipts consisted of two carloads of lumber and one of shingles, for Wallace Woods, and two carloads of coal oil for Bellinger & Hill. The coal oil shipments will be larger than usual to this point from now on, owing to the fact that no carload shipments will be mde to Ashland hereafter all orders to be filled from this point.
