THE MEDFORD MAIL Published Ever? Friday Morning. A. S. BLITON. Ubdford, Friday, March 15, 1001, (MM WU BORN TO HUSTLE. 119 la of tew days; but Quit a plonty, SUBSCRIPTION $1.30 PER YEAR Saured In the PoatoMico at Medrord, Oregon as 8eoonadass Mall Matter. ' Just enough variety to make the Maroh weather spicy. K bridegroom of eight hours committed suicide at Baker City Wednesday evening. Jealousy is assigned as the cause of the rash act. For the first time in the history of Portland the school board of that city will have a woman for direc tor, Mrs. Sitten having defeated R. K. Warren for that position at the election held there Monday. The factional fight in Delewara has resulted in leaving that state with two vacant seats in the United States senate. The scenes attend ing the last moments of the session of the legislature were extremely exciting. England, through her ambassa dor, Lord Pauncefote, has notified this country that she will not ac cept the amended canal treaty. She makes no counter proposals, and if negotiations are resumed it must be by the action of the United States. The Duke of York will be the nineteenth English prince of Wales, if that title be finally conferred up on him. It is, of course, impossible that he can break bis father's record its' heir to the crown. The present King Edward VII. was heir-apparent for ten weeks over fifty-nine years. About April 29th President Mc- Kinley, accompanied by bis cabi-l net, will leave Washington for a! visit to the Pacific coast. The ex act itinery of the party has not yet been decided upon, but the presi dent has announced that he would visit Oregon, where a few stops would be made. New School Laws. Tho new general school law contains somo provision? intended to guard (ho public sohool system against nepotism and othor k I ml rod nbnscs. Ono ot those provisions Is found In section 48, which relates to the duties ot directors. Sub division 7 of this section provides, anions? other things, that "no contract shall bo made with any teacher who Is related by blood or marriage within the third degree to any member ot the school board without the concurrence of nil tho members ot tho board, by a voto duly entered ou the clerk's records of proceedings." Since it requires unanimous consent df the board to employ a near relative of a member as teacher, there Is small chance thai an incompeteut person will be employed because ot tho relation ship. Subdivision 10, of tho samo sootlnn, provides: "It shall be Illegal for any director, either directly or indtreolly, to have any pecuniary Interest In tho erection ot school houses, or for tho warming, ventilating, furnishing or re pairing the same, or to rocelvo or ao cept any compensation for his sorvioes rendered as a member of the board." The spirit of this provision is in a measure defeated bv Its enumeration of special contracts. It the prohibition had been In general terms, forbidding a dlreotor to have any interest, directly or Indirectly, in any contract made by or tor the distriot ot which he is a di rector, the desired end would have been accomplished. As it is, there is room for directors to profit by many contracts that may be made on behalf ot tho district. The spirit of the law being evident, however, the new meas ure will probably have a beneficial effect. The annual school meeting hereafter will be held on the third Monday In June. Another negro murderer has been burned at the stake in Miss ouri. The burning was witnessed by five thousand people. The -crime for which the negro was burned was the murder of Mrs. Younger. He made a full, written confession of the deed Lefore he was oremated. General Harrison died at his iome in Indianapolis, Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock, from complications arising from la grippe. Benjamin Harrison, nine teenth president of the United States, was born in North Bend, Ohio, August 20, 1833. He was born in the house of his grand father, William Henry Harrison, worked on a farm when a boy, grad uated at Miami University in 1852, enlisted Id the War of the Rebellion aB second lieutenant and was after ward breveted brigader-general. He Las lived in Indianapolis since .1854. He was one of the most highly honored men in the life' of the nation. One of the most notable feats f memory recorded in the past century was that of Col. Chor relie, an English sportsman. The veil known Englishman once learned by heart, for a bet, the hole of the London Morning Post of a particular day, and repeated ivery word of it, including the ad vertisements. A St. Louis man stood in the rain and watched three street cars fjaes him without so much as hesi tating. When the fourth came along he heaved a stotie through a window, and it stopped. Then he climbed aboard. The conductor had him arrested, but the police judge, after having fined him, re mitted the fine out of heartfelt sympathy. - Wanted. Man or mea to ohop one hundred ord of wood. Enquire of A. H. Chess--tnore, MerMord, Oregon. A Bower of Beauty. It is not often that the dutiea of The Mail reporter diverges from the or dinary, never varying routine of gathering news, bnt it sometimes hap pens so. Such was the case this week when his attention was attracted to the immense stock ot pretty new millinery whih Mrs. L. J. Sears has just re ceived (or her spring and summer trade. It was indeed a pretty sight. Strewn in generous profusion around the confines of her parlor in the Banket store, which was entirely too small for a proper display of her large stock, was to be seen all the very new est and most gorgeous creations in feminine head apparel which the fash- Ion artists of the twentieth century have been able to devise. The newest shapes and shades ot hats of every description and for every purpose, the daintiest effects in flowers and trim mings, everything in fact wliich could be desired by the ladies of fashion was to be seen in a bewildering assortment. The reporter's unfamiliarity with mil linery terms precludes any possibility of his giving a true word description of the many stylish things destined to sit the feminine heart to fluttering, but it there is such a thing as a bowor of beauty it 1b to be seen at Mrs. Sears' millinery store. A: jut Job Printing. The Mait., tinder Its present management, has been doing job printing In Mcdford for over eight years. We have printed everything from a calling card to a full sheet poster. We have eren printed In colors on wood ; we have em boosed letter heads, envelopes, cards and cigar box labels; we have printed cloth posters and silk banquet invitations, and we will wager the arice of several good Jobs that none of those for whom this work was done have felt themselves called upon to offer an apology for the appearance cf the work. We have been accused of having charged the city of Medford W.50 for a thousand letter heads. That Is a lie, pure and simple. We never charged any man or corporation a price equal 10 that on a straight thousand run. On February , 13tb, of this year, we printed for Mayor Crowell' 500 twelve-pound Irish linen letter heads, for which we charged 13 25, our usual prloe for that grade of stock. On Febru ary lstb following ws printed 500 ten-pound wove letter heads, for use by the counclimen of Mcdford for this we charged 13, our usual price and right here we want to say that no business man In Medford has ever gotten this grade of work and goods for one penny less In rum of 500. These are the prices we established eight years ago and there has been no devla tlon from them notwithstanding the fact that paper has advanced from three to fifteen per cent during the past three years. It may be true that cheaper work can be se cured at other print shops In this town. If so, our advice to those who want cheap printing, inked with a mop, with all kinds of Impressions on ono sheet, Is to go there and get It. If It Is good, clean printing that you want the kind that don't make you cross-eyed to look at, the kind that makes you feel good and bolsters up' your business and don't resemble a junk shop relio, the kind that's worth paying for and the kind that you Just naturally feel like you wanted to pay for, bring it to Tub Mail shop, and If you doo't deelaro that you are getting good value for your money wo will maka you a present of the' wnolo works. If you want poster type printed on a letter head or business card don't bring It here our types won't print that kind of printing. If you want printing that's good work drop in and look over our samples, but dm t auk us to figure satinet a printer (Hod save the mark) yrbo&s n.kfortune, rather than his faulr, it is tha'. he do p not know ho a to print. It is true Tn MAir, has mu.'.A letterhead" lor 12.50 per thousand and we havo a few thousand left of tlio stock that wo prlulod these from which neve been offered to the trade for the pan' ym at thcis figured Thoy arc seven pound weight, llautcst vrtiiijht loiter head made; thoy arc off color, and tho rullag Is not true. We never printed o i order frcm the lot that thu n-irchacer did not flint see Iho stock. Steam Feather Renovating. I havo now completed my canvass ot tho city ot Med ord, 1 have aimed to call at uvory houso. My boolta show that up to dalo I havo renovated In tho oily of MoiUord 41 pillows aud feather beds and when to this is added the fuel that there has not been one word ol ojiuplulnt It hIiowii conclusively that uiy work Is appreciated by tho people. To thoso wtio havo not given this matter consideration, or who may think It uiiuecesHui-y, as a professor of nygu nj, i respooiiuny uau a low profes sional don't. Don't expect too much ot tno stin. uon't think you can reuovato your feathers by putting thorn out In the sun because your grandmother inougiu so. l our grandmother was a very uloe person ) was mine. They probably did tho best they oould under tho circumstances, but wo should rjim rubor that tempora mutantur. ot nos mutamar in lias. All theory aud pruotice to the contrary, notwithstand ing, I say to you, don't put your (outliers in uiu suu lor uy so doing you only augment tho trouble you seek to avoid. Tho sun's wunuth to tho feathers ouly softens thu oil or animal matter in tbo quins, causing thorn to absorb more ot tbo unhealthy exhalations ot the body. It also gives life aud vigor to disease gorms, and more ospoolully tho vermin known as tho feather worm. Air your feathers ot course, but not in the sun. Tho benefit derived from the airing of feathors, howevor, is su perficial only. Health is not an attri bute but a condition and when thu conditions are favorable, health Is in evitable, wiuio it is true that vou may tor a timeenioy reasonable health. regardless ot sanitary conditions, 'it is also true that the time is limited. The value of health and hnnnlncss is uot computed in dollars and cents, and it health and happiness is governed by sanitary conditions, then the renovat tug of feathers bv steam is as necessary i bread and buttor. There Is considerable work In Mad- ford beiug deterred. To all thoso hav ing this work I would say that my stay in Medford Is quite limited, thoreforo leave your orders at mv otOco or nost- ofiico box , Modford, very soon. As I oeiieve ana Know nil tno abovo to be true, I also have faith and houestly be lieve that Ho who brard tho raven's cry, And had Elijah fed, Will bless also the feather man Who renovates your bed.
