Talent Whispers. BY P. SHAUr. The revival meetings are taking Talent body and soul . Rev. Ross is a host and he seems to be satu rated with the Holy Spirit. A land slide is iminent at Ashland. The weather is gradually settling down to business, from good to better and the farmers are plowing again and seeding will be speeded being now late for winter grain. Wm. Kirby's barn is about com plete. It i3 30 feet square with a 14x30 feet shed for stalls. Mr.-K. does wood hauling and farming for a livelyhood and makes a good living thereby. The mechanics have" suspended 1- T" MTr C 1 .1 worit on unn i iianson sune uwei- ling tor the want of seasoned umber and Mr. H. has moved to Elder Ninninger's property, lately vacated by Lee Netherland. Alvah Holden, an orhpan son of the late Wm. Holden who has been making his home at Samuel Robin sons, died oaturdav night after ten or twelve days' illness.

He had an excellent crop this year and sales are made at sight. It seems strange that no more ducks have showed up this fall. There is plenty of water in the sloughs and the new grain fields make feed plentiful, but for some unknown reason what few there are here stick to the river, which makes hunting very slow work. A meeting was called at the school house Saturday night to make arrangements for a Christ mas tree. There was a good at tendance and all seemed deeply in terested in making it a success. Money was freelv subscribed to defray expenses and all the com mittees elected to arrange the pro gram. J. C. P. Circuit Court Docket. W I Vawter vs Tolo Mining Co: action to- re cover money.

Hinman, the Roseburjj jail breaker, of whom mention was made in The Mail last week, is making it decidedly interesting for the people down in California as the following telegram of date, December 8, would seem to indicate: A pitched battle was fought on tho streets of Angel's Camp this evening between two oHicors anil Robert Hin man, the desperado who is 'wautod at Koseburg, Or., for breaking jail and shooting a deputy sheriff. Before the constable had an opportunity to pre pare for Hinman's arrest, he broke away and ran up tho street, which was full of people. Tho olllcers followed him, firing at every step. Hinman turned and took a shot at each of his pursuers, but without cITect. The olll cers' ammunition was finally exhausted and they were obliged to give up tho pursuit, while their man disappeared in tho darkness. A posso was organ ized and sent In pursuit, but, up to a late hour he hud not been found. It is thought by the officers that ho was hit by one of the shots. Tho wife of Mr. P. Robinson, a promi nent lumberman of Ilartwick. N. Y., was sick with tho rheumatism for fiv'0 months. In speaking of it Mr, Robin son savs: "Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the only thing that gave ber any rest from pain. For the relief of pain it cannot bo beat."

One of the moat enjoyable events of the season was a party given by Mrs, Howser, of the Meadows, last Saturday evening in honor of Hon. J. .f. Howser, who will soon leave for Portland. About seven o clock the guests commenced to arrive and were soon engaged in the fes tivities of the evening, consisting of music, games and charades, which lasted until 11 o'clock, when 8upp9r was announced. The supper was served by Mrs. Howser, assisted by Miss Alice Carter. The table presented a beautiful sight and the supper was most delicious. About 12:30 "Home Sweet Home" was rendered by the musicians, Messrs. C. Carter, F. Walker and Walfred Gardner, after which all congratu lated Representative-elect J. J. Howser and wished the young statesman a seccessful trip. The guests then departed for their re spective homes, having spent a most enjoyable evening and one long to be remembered. . J.T. R. Aching Joints Announce the presence of rheumatism which causes untold suffering. . Rheu matism is due to lactic acid in the blood. It cannot be cured by liniments or other outward applications. Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies the blood, re moves the causa of rheumatism and permanently cures the disease. This lb the testimony of thousands of peo ple who once suffered the pains of rheumatism but who have actually been cured by taking Hood's Sarsa parilla. Its great power to act upon the blood and remove every impurity is the secret of the wonderful cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Advertised Letter List.

Doctor Danlelson, Office in Halley block over postofheo. Chronic diseases, and diseases of women and children a specialty. Openncwn of Mind. Openness of mind is the merit of the philosopher, whose business lies all in his study. His work is not that of deal ing with events, wit h combinations that move and have their critical moments, default in seizing which may lead to misfortunes beyond repnir. The philos opher deals with abstractions, lie can take his time. The present interests of other people do not depend upon his right decision. I5ut in practical af fairs openness of mind is often a de merit. If the sportsman attempts to work out the exact distance iH'fore he fires his bird will pass out of sight. If the general sits down on the battle field to calculate every possible con tingency, lx'fore he gives the word of command he leaves bis army in risk ol being shattered. Something must al ways be taken for grunted, some chances put out of calculation, if any thing real is to be done. X. Y. Ledger. A Mlilcot" Trstami'iit. A "midget" Testament, three-quarters of an inch long and half an inch wide, weighing only -0 grains, and a "mite" ISible, one and three-quarters of an inch high by one and one-eighth wide, containing 0.".l pages- and weigh ing ISO grains, have just been published by a Glasgow firm. They are said to be the smallest Bible and Testnmeut in the world. - , '- 1 Hypnotism In Medicine. The Journal of the American Medical Association has an editorial, the general trend of which is to show that, hyp jiotisru ban had its day and is practical ly being laid upon the shelf, or. at. least, its ue confined to irregulars outside of the recognized school of medicine. This is a rather curious statement o make, at least if one measures the interest of a medical topic by the number of arti cles written about it. There are few subject upon which German physi cians ere writing more monograms at present or in which they seem to take n more active inuretst. The sensational side of hypnotism is certainly dying out, but a certain practical side, which iff represented by the word "sugges tion," has undoubtedly come to stay and to be uned in therapeutic. A Diplomatic Tutor. From a French journal comes this little anecdote of a tutor and his royal pupil: The lesson was in Roman history and the prince was unprepared. "We come now to the Emperor Caligula. What do you know about him, prince?" The question was followed by a silence that was becoming awkward, when it was broken by the diplomatic tutor. "Your highness is right," he said, "per fectly right. The less said about this i-ropcror the better." Thinness of Beaten Gold. The surface of any given quantity of gold may be extended 310,814 times by being properly beaten with the ham mer. A gold dollar if beaten until its surface was enlarged 310,814 times would become a golden film not more than the 1-566, 020th part of an inch in thickness. Prof. Svf.x Ixjves, the Swedish zoologist, who died recently in Stock holm, had the luck to be selected as a member of the Institute of France over Darwin in 1872, and to be pre ferred to Huxley in 1893 for the Prus sian order "Pour le merite." . A story that Prince Edward of York is deaf and dumb is denied "authori tatively" by the Lancet, which says that "he is in every respect a fine child, that he displays remarkable intelli gence for his are, and that he can al ready repeat a number of words."
