"MEDFORD, OREGON 1 OREGON, FRIDAY, NOV. 18, 1898. A LITTLE OF Some of these dayH a magazine will win everlasting fame by issuing a number which isn't devoted ex clusively to war and corset adver tisements. A petitioner to the general Meth odist conference in Canada recently asked that body to "protect congre gations against the growing evil of manuscript preachers." A subterranean city exists in Ga- licia, Austria-Poland, which con tains a population of over 1000 men, women and children, many of whom never saw the light of day. In proportion to population Texas has furnished more troops for the war than any other state. Texas pays each enlisted man $7 a month in addition to his government pay. Moody, the evangelist, recently met a man who declared himself absolutely sinless. "Well," said the preacher, "I'm glad to know it, but I'd like to ask your wife first." The question, can any good come out of Nazareth? has been answered. That ancient city has three hos pitals, seven convents and twelve schools under European supervi sion. It is claimed that the gold con tained in the medal?, chains, ves sels and other objects in the Vati can would make more gold coin than the whole of the present Euro pean circulation. Although as a rule, they are men of long lives, jio fewer than 123 members of the sacred college of cardinals have died since Leo XIII ascended the papal throne, and sixty-seven of this number were of his own creation. "What do you think of that fire?" asked the young wife, pointing with pride to the kitchen range, with which she had been occupied for. an hour. "Well," yawned the bus band, rubbiug bis half opened eyes, "it's prettv good, but it's not us good as mother used to make." A strange case of hereditary sui cide is recorded by Prof. Brouardel. A French tarmer living near Etatnpes hanged himself. He left sevon sons and four daughters, ten uf whom committed suicide after they had married, and most of their children also took their own lives Mine. Carndt's generosity was as odd as it was widespread. Previous to New Year 8 day she would get from the magistrate a list of the de serving poor; then instead of buying gifts from .the stores, she would have them made up by persons out of work, thus benefiting two sets of people at the same time to the ex tent of $5000 yearly. Gardiner is said to be the only city in Maine where the local and standard systems of time are both in vogue. The two town clocks are kept twenty-one minutes apart, and each has its devoteeB, with the re suit of much confusion in keeping business and social engagements. Visitors are entirely at sea, and the natives are never quite sure they know what time it is. Mrs. Polly Owens, who was lately married to William Owens of White River township, near Noblesville, Ind., is now living with her thir tcenth husband. Mrs. Owens has six children as the fruits of her former marriages, no two having the same name. She is about 50 years old. She was separated' from the larger number of husbands. She is part Indian, her mother be ing a half caste. . When Commodore Schley was sinking Cervera's fleet he kept the men on his ship informed of what was going on. When overy thing was destroyed or surrendered but NO. 46. the 'Jolon he dispatched orderllet to the stoke holes and engine rooms saying : ' "Now, boys, it all de pends on you. Everything is sunk except the Colon, and she is trying to get away. We don't want her to, and everything depends on you." "Do you know that Miss Worth never even cried, although she wis very white-in the face when the adjutant left," said Miss Topoko. "She realized the war rule among us women: 'Always keep your pow der dry. " In oronortion to its size Switzar-loflicerB land has more inns than any other country in the world. The enter tainment of tourists has become the chief industry of the land. No less than 1700 hostelries, stationed for the most part on mountain tops or near glaciers, are on the list, and tho receipts of hotel keepers amount to $25,000,000 a year, so it cannot be such a bad business. Returning Klondikers bring the news that the City of Dawson has been visited with a $500,000 fire, 40 buildings being burned. The blaze staried as a result of arro between two women, in which Belle Mitchell threw a lighted lamp at another woman. The fire of a year ago was caused by the same woman, who threw a lamp at a man with whom she had a quarrel. An English topographical nov elty is a map stamped in tinned steel plate. The first experiment is a raised map of London and vicinity, representing about 320 square miles, on a horizontal scale of an inch to a mile and a vertical scale of an inch to 1.0C0 feet, such a map being sold for. 15 shillings. The surface, showing all natural undulations, is enameled in colors A man recently left a' dripping umbrella outside an oflioe door with card attached, on which was written: "The man who owns this umbrella strikes a ton and he will be back in five minutes." On re turning he found only the card pinned on the wall and on the other side was written: "The man who took this umbrella walks five milef an hour and he won't be back at all." Judge Moore, a Kentucky circuit judge, dismissed a murder charge against Sargent Perkins, who killed his son-in-law, J. W. Newton last week. Proof showed that New ton betrayed his wife before marry ng her, and recently betrayed her younger sister. The crowd m th court broke into wild applause when the judge said the case was plainly a justifiable homicide, and the judge was quite right in his decision. The people of Saltillo,-state of Coahuila, Mexico, have called the attention of the United States gov ernment to the fact that the bodies of over 500 American soldiers lis in unmarked graves near that city They were the victims of the battle of Buena Vista, the scene of which was 14 miles from the neglected military cemetery. After the bat tle the dead were conveyed to Sal tillo and interred and an adobe wall was built around the grave yard. Since the United States govern ment was formed 19,000 white met-, women and children have been slain in Indian wars and affrays, and about 30,000 Indians, at an ex pense to our government of $807, 073,658. To this immense sum must be added the civil expendi-l ture of the government on behalf of' the Indians which, between 1776 and 1890 amounted to $259,944,082, making a total of $1,067,017,740 for civil and military expenses in connection with the noble red men One city has been found in which there is no bicycle craze, and never will be.- It is Aden, on the Red son.

" Commissioner-General T. V. Pow derly, of the ' immigration bureau, in his annual report to the secretary of the treasury, gives the total num ber of immigrants who arrived i in the United States during the last fiscal year as 229,299, a decrease, as compared with the fiscal year 1897, of 1563. , 0 the whole num ber, 135,775 were males and 93,524 females, and 10,037 came into the United States through Canada.

REEFTOV, New Zealand, Nov. 23,1896, I am very pleased to state that since I took the agency ot Chamberlain's medicines the sale has been-very large, more esueciallv of tbe (JOUfirh Kumedv. In two years I have sold more of this particular remedy than of all other mak s for the previous five years. As to its efficaoy, I have been informed by scores of persons of the good results they have received from It, and know its value from the use of it in my own ' ousehold. It is so pleasant to take . that we have to place tbe bottle beyond the reach of the children. E. J. SCANTLEBURY. For sale by Chas. Strang, druggist, Medtord; Dr. J.
