There was a dance given by the ladies of this place last Friday night and I understand that those present naa a very pleasant ume. The supper was pronounced excel lent and financially it was a sue- Prof. Newbury made a call on our school last Friday afternoon, spending a few minutes with the children. I understand that he was very favorably impressed with the manner in which the school is conducted, although about thirty of the children had been dismissed before he entered the school room. During the past week we have had quite an excitement here on ac count of the numerous political speakers each party trying to get advantage, and each confidently claiming the state of Oregon for his party. The most of us will be glad when the election is over and we can settle down to our regular busi ness again.. In the last Mail I noticed an ac count of the improvements made in Medford during the past, year, and this brings to my mind a con- versation'. that passed between, a traveling salesman,of San Francisco, and one of our citizens here. He remarked that he had been on the road between San Francisco and Portland for the past year and there w eremore inprovements and more business done in Medford than any place between the above named points, and he is firmly of the opin ion that Medford, in, the near future will be the leading city of Southern Oregon and northern California. See here, Brother Howlett, did that fellow say "will be"? If so, why did you not ask him to point out the present "leading city" of South ern Oregon. Ed. On Saturday night last the resi dence and office rooms of Dr. W. B. Officer took fire about midnight and before it was discovered the building was completely enveloped in flames. The cause of the fire is a mystery. Some think it was caused by the combustion of some of his chemicals, others, by care lessly leaving matches laying around where mice could get at them and some seem to think that Wanted! Your tea trade from now on. Schilling s Best wants it -your money back if you don't like it ing iFi sso it was the work of incendiaries but the cause will probably remain a mystery. I understand that the doctor claims that the loss will amount to about twenty-five hun dred dollars. The property was partially insured. I learned Sun- day night that he had saved the most of his notes and account books but his library and instruments were all destroyed. Big Sticky Items. BY BILL NYtS BROTHER.

ADVANTAGES OF LIBERIA. I'rof. O. I. Cook SpcnkH of the African Iteiulli-. I'rof. O.'F. Cook, of Hunt:n;rloii, L. f., who litis sprnt the win tor in Ijibrrin, Africa, studying the phint and uuimnl life of that, region, has returned to lis home, lie ways, nt'eonling in the Kepub lie, that the advantages of Africa as a place of residence, even for the white race, are but imperfectly understood. Liberia is naturally no more unheulth ful than other tropical countries, in which civilization lias taken root, such as India and South America, and, as in these cases, the heallhfiilness increases I as the forests are cleared away and bet ter conditions of life rendered possible through improvements in transporta tion. Mr. Cook has spent several sea sons in Africa in pursuing his investi gation in the interest of the American and the New York Stt? Colonization societies, with a view to ascertaining the possibility of resuming, under new plans, the colonization of Liberia with negToes from the I'nited States. lie says former movements in that direc tion have failed through want of proper management rather than on account of any insurmountable difficulties inher ent in the idea of colonisation or in the witurcof the country where settlement? of American negroes were attempted. That something is possible, he says, 's demonstrated by the fact that maay xilonists who left America'15 or 20 years ago with nothing have now coffee farms, yielding incomes greater than their owners can spend, while others have achieved independence in much lc6S time. MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT. President McConh'n Novel Method of Com plying with a Krqucnt Prvsiileut McCosh. of Princeton, is the subject of this story, says the New York Cuil, which is vouched for by olr t'rinccton men: "The venerable doctor was aecustoreed to lent! the morning: i xcrcises in tlic chajH-l every day, mid durinir the exercises in the ch.njx-1 jravc out the notices to the studcuts. The closing exercise was a fervent prayer by the doctor. One morn i op, after he had read the notices as usual, a student carue up with another notice that I'rof. Karpc s French class would he nt nine o'clock that day. instead of 9:30. as usual. lr. McCosh said it was too late, but the student insisted that Prof. Karge would be much disappointed if the notice was not. read. The exer-.-ises went on, and the doctor forgot all about the notice, lie started to make the final prayer. He prayed for the president of the United States, the members of the cabinet, the senators and representa tives, tbe governor of New Jersey, the mayor and other officials of Princeton, and then came to the professors and in structors in the collepe. In the mean time lrof. Krone's notice came into hi? mind and the assembled students were astonished to hear the venerable presi dent soy: 'And, O Lord, bless Prof. Kaxge, whose French claa will be held i morning at nine o'clock, instead of at B : 30, as usual. PLAGUED WITH BACILLI. French Town Which Baa Com Into a Heritage ef Conaamptloa. It ha long- been a caue of con troversy among' physicians ae to whether-consumption i contagious or not, and one of the strongest arguments, say the New York Journal, that it is that has yet been produced is the story of the fate of the villagers of Metitor.c. Forty years npo this place was one of the healthiest villapes in France, whose inhabitants were of superb physical do vvlopment. It was discovered about this time that the climate of Mentone was remarkably beneficial in cases of limp diseases, and people afflicted in this way flocked thither from all rart of Kurope.. The natural result was that the people who had hitherto been enpaped in farminp one and oil betook themselves to ministering in various ways to the thronps of invalids. The stronp and healthy women of Meaitone became laundresses and washed, with out takinp the least, precautious, the consumptives" clothes. The place is now described as being a "bacillus pest bole." The very soil and air ::re said to ' P(r1np'--vl, Sometimes an apparently dead man may be re; wived may be re suscitated. Some times it is often hard to tell whether the maa is dead or alive. We hear of people who have oeen buried alive. A man must be com pletely dead before hope should be abandoned. 'It used to be true that when a man found he had consump tion, he gave up immediately. Consump tion was considered a necessarily fatal dis ease. It was considered incurable. As soon as it developed enough so that a physician could decide that it was really consumption, the patient was considered as good as dead. Years ago, Dr. Pierce found out that con sumption was not incurable, thnt it was not necessarily fatal. He not only found this out, but he found out a way to cure con sumption. He introduced his "Golden Medical Discovery." The "Discovery wm cure per cent of all cases of con- sumpuon 11 u is ukq mviiuiux w wntv- tions.
