Mrs. Amanda Smith held her closine service at the Me'.hodist Episcopal Church on Tuesday evening of last week. Large audiences creeled her irom tne nrst. Tne sum of tbe ushers was taxed to the utmost to seat the people, yet more than once standing room was at a premium. On Sunday moraine Mrs. 8mith. after referring briefly to the circumstances connected with her early life, preached a clear ana neipiui sermon on "ine uesurree tion." Rich in thought and glowlog ith earnestness was her descriotion of the soul's hunger for the life more abundant, and the rioh promises made ior it in tne aeatn ana triumphant resurrection oi tne saviour ol men. Loving hands had garlanded the altar witn sowers or beauty and fragrance. The lilies were there on this glad Easter morning, pure and sweet, and from them the preacher' enriched her discourse with striking illustrations of much force and beauty. Mrs. Smith's recital of her experience when seeking salvation was thrilling. Her trials, privations and glorious victories were related in her own inimitable way and were full of instruction and encourage ment to the tired and tempted in every place. She oould read a hymn and crive thft aansn nt it? of no. a hvmn anil (touch the heart of it. Her gestures were purely natural and she could move witn an the animation peculiar to her race. Intensely interesting was ner relation oi experiences uaa lnol dents connected with her labors in three continents, and we believe that great good will result from the labors of this devoted servant of God. Mrs. Smith was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Kame during: her brief stav in the citv. and it was through the efforts of Brother Kame that she consented to preach to us for a few days. We be lieve that those who listened to her must be persuaded that her rreat de sire is to be useful, and hope that she may live to carry out the desire of her heart in tbe building and endowment of a home for the orphan children of her race.

Some communications have been re ceived at this office, asking why the school fund in the hands of the county treasurer has not been apportioned, and perhaps a satisfactory answer may be given these inquiries by quoting the sohool law, found on page 14 of the Oregon school laws and which reads as follows: "The county school superintendent, shall, on the third Monday in April more than two apportionments, they would have made provision for more. At present there is no authority conferred en the school superintendent to make more than two apportionments, and during the sohool year just closed those apportionments were made, and the law was, therefore, oomplled with. A renort that has been IndnntrlnnaW circulated by those who know better, to the effect that tho undersigned has, or had, 15000 of the county school fund on deposit in the Ashland Bank, may be conveniently corrected here. The present oountv school suoerlntendent never handled one dollar of the county school fund, and, consequently, has never, had on deposit in the Ashland Bank or any other bank, any part of the school fund.

It is but fair that candidates should give the voters an opportunity to know who they are and some of the qualification upon whioh they base their claim for support at the polls. This paper can reach more homes in Southern Oregon Jthan any other publication. Itrcacbei the hornet of voters of alljfpartita because that it is an independent newspaper and is read as mewsi-apir and not as a party paper. There are several new cards in another column. Among these is found tho name of Alex Orme, Mr. Orme is the republican nominee for sherifT. lie is one of the best and moBt favorably known citizens of the valley. He is about forty-eight years of age and has been a citizen of Southern Oregon since I860. He first located near Phoenix, after wards moving to the Foots creek mining district where he has sinco resided. The greater part of his life has been spent in mining and to him has come, as does to all miners, tbe ups and downs peculiar to tbe business. In the most part his career as a miner has been successful one beoause of the fact of bis thoroughness and his careful attention to tbe details of the busi ness. Mr. Orme is an honest man of business, a true friend and brave in every act. This is his first nom ination for any office, although he has been prominent in his party for many years. He is expected to poll a solid vote in his home locality G. S. Butler, The republican nominee for County Commissioner, is a native of Oregon, about forty-four years of sg, and resided near Medford for twenty years. He nas engaged in general mercantile business in Ashland for some five years but the business not being to his liking he gave it up and has been engaged in the stock business for the past ten years and is now so engaged at what is nown as the Cove ranoh, about twelvo miles east of Ashland. Mr. Butlor is a quiet, steady, upright citizen, of good and temperate habits and is most respected by those who know him best. In his stock busi ness he travels over tho county con siderable and is well pouted as to the wants and needs of the peoplo. A man of good education and sound judgement and his friends are claiming that if elected ho will serve the people of Jackson County faithfully ana well. H. It. Kino aid. Hon. Harrison R. Kinoaid is the union nominee for Secretary of State. Mr. Kincaid is the present incumbent of the office to whioh his friends want to re-elect him. He was elected two years ago on the Re publican ticket and being a silver republican is the why of his nomi nation by the union of parties. Mr. Kincaid has filled the office of Sec retary of State very acceptably to the people of the state and there seems little doubt, in the minds of those who have taken the politioal pulse of the state, that he will again 1)0 ulnitod. It on ti truthfully ho Maid of Mr. Kiuciiiil tluit ho has not entered to tlm dictates of any party or faction wliilo in olliou, Ho has oonviutioiiH of Inn own and has oloHuly followod I hem. Matiikw Stkwaiit, The regular noiiiinoo of the Repub lican party for ItoproBentativo in tbe state legislature, is a man of about Ufty-uino years of ago. Ho served his country in the 100th Pennsyl vania Infantry. After coming out of the army ho waj elected county auditor of Lawrence County, Penn sylvania, for a term of two years. Ho then removed to Washington County, Kansas, where he was en gaged in sohool work for about eleven years, four years of whioh time (two terms) he filled the of fioeofeounty superintendent. Ia 1881 he moved to Oregon and taught two years, and in 1883 wont to Taooma, Wash., where he taught in city schools and sorved Pierce County, as county superintendent for three terms. Prom thero ho tnovod to a small farm, noar Tal ent, this county, whoro ho has re sided for the paBt five years. If elected to tho offico of ropr oho illa tive his friends and those who know him bost aro promising tho votors of the county that their interests will bo faithfully and ably looked after and that no mistake will be made. The cards of a couple of candi dates on the Union ticket were handed us too late for publication this week. They will appear in our next issue, For Circuit Judge.
