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

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.

-The Consolidated Saxe Creek;
Mining company will soon resume
work on their properties on a big
scale with a full force of men. The
work will be under the superin-
tendance of N. D. Young, joint
owner of the mines.
Work is being' pushed along
lively at the Ruby mine, which is
being managed by an old and ex
perienced miner. The owners
intend shortly to ship a quantity of
ore to the Selby Smelting and Lead
company, at Vallejo Junction,
Calif.
Over $300,000 in gold dnst, esti
mated, has been taken from the
placer, mines of Saxe creek since
the first mining in 1857 and nearly
that much more will be taken from
the mines before they are worked
out. Quartz mining received little
attention until 1891L when N. V
Young discovered the properties
known as the Consolidated saxe
Creek mines. At present there are
ten or twelve paying propositions
on the creek.

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.

at B : 30, as usual.

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
