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.

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.
