Nkw York probably realizes bj this time the supreme foWy of at tempting to confine an earthquake to a tunnel. An Amkuican dentist baa been fixing the sultan's teeth. The ' United States government may have to collect the bill. King Edward's cctouation rites will last four hours, during which lime he will be compelled to abstain absolutely from smoking. Thkrk are several sovereigns over hi re who are anxious to get a good swift kick at Prince Henry, who has been abusing Wilhelmina. A wkstern judge has decided that sausage is not sausage unless it is in links. We may yet have to admit that the color of the hair makes the dog. find it extremely difficult to make their scbomen work. A i.l. this row about the altitude of European nations, Germany and England in particular, toward the United State at the time of the Spanish war, seems to be n big waste of breath and ink. There was no attempt intuie to coeice this government and if there had been it is extremely doubtful if Unci Sam would have stood for it, Dewe; indicated pretty strongly to the German commander at Mani what would happen to anyone who interfered. It really doesn't mak any difference now whether Ger many stood on our side all the way through, or climbed into the band wagon at the last moment. V didn't need any help and were not in a humor to tolerate outside in terferenee. Ox Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific ocean, mail is delivered only once a year. That must be a pleas ant place for the man who-e bills come by the po't. Great Britain and the United States have exchanged places in one respect. Wh le the former is piling up a war debt the latter is cutting one down. No request has yet been received in this country for the appoint stent of representatives to attend tho coronation of King Alfonso at Madrid next May. There is no assurance that America is not absorbing the usual quota of anarchists into its popu lation every time a shipload of im migrants reaches our shores. - The European nations now s'.riv- irjg to prove how much they love lis would probably be less dentin . ttrative if they knew how deter mined we are to remain single. i.,3isHo'i' Fowler lias told the min isters of the Methodist Episcopal Colored Church to cut all the big words out of their sermons. The iiishops of other churches, not col ored, '"would make no mistake in .giving the same counsel. Our col ored brethren have by no means a polysyllabic monopoly. Among the recent army appoint ments made by the president is that of Hiram E.

Wouldn't it be a good idea for ;the Democratic party to stop shout jug about the nefarious methods and policies jf the Republicans, and devise a remedy for some of the things which need it. IssueB, other than the time-honored one of lieing "forninst the government," .would not be out of place in toe platform. Thkrk are numerous candidates scattered over the county for nomi nations at the hands of the Republi can convention; also a good many Democrats appear to be willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of the country. But there is a notice aoie lacs ot enthusiasm anions Democratic candidates for sheriff when it is mentioned that Alex Orme will likely be the Republican nominee. They have no overiveon iog desire to go up against Alex and we rather think they are right Sheriff Orme has made an efficient painstaking, accommodating official and baa" earned- the respect and good wi!l of a majority of the people of the county irrespective of politics. and The Mail doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't be retained in bis position if he wants it. By tbe-wny, we wish to remark that this item is entirely unsolicited and is prompted entirely by our personal friendship for Sheriff Orme, and the desire to see good, competent men retained in county offices. Killed by Freight Train. A young man, about seventeen years of age, and unknown, was ri'.n over about a mile this side of Talent Ttiurs day morning about 2 o'clock by an extra southbound freight train. The man was supposed to be a hobo stealing a ride on the freight. His head was cut off and his body was badly mangled. Coroner Picket went to Talent and had the remains brought to Medford where an inquest was held Thursday afternoon As we eo to press Thuisday afternoon we are unable to get full particulars.

' A Philadelphia bank teller has leen stricken with smallpox be cause he handled germ-infected currency. This is unpleasant news, but it will hardly abate the fondness of men, women and children, in Philadelphia and elaewhete, to 'handle money, even if it is not Jresh from the mint or the bureau of engraving and printing. Every voter should have his name on the 'register. The books close March 22d, and no one should allow himself to be deprived of his vote by failing to comply with the law. Register, attend the primaries, take an interest in your party af lairs, cast your vote in June. Lack t! interest in political affairs is the cause of many abuses.

Central Point, Oregon. In doing Over the Famous Shasta Route" uf tllfl Knuthprn Pao'tfin Co. the traveler ever finds something uow tu eiuue ms aumira'.ion and inter est. Starting at Portland, one fav erses the whole length of the Willam ette valley, tho gem of the Northwest, lit. flood, Mt. Jefferson, and the Three Sisters and other snow capped peaks are kept in sight for hours. The beau tiful valleys of the Urnpqua and Rogue river, with their orchards of prunes, peaches, apples, and oilier fruits aro a delight in themselves. The crossing o( the great mountain barrior between Oregon and California reveals the grand est mountain Bcenery in the United States. Toe wonderful turnings, twist lugs, aud doublings of the railroad bring in'.o view a grand array of tower ing mountains and profound gorges into which we eaze from dizzy heights, forest clad mountain slopes stretching up tn the line of perpetual snow, and the foiming mountain streams dahlnsr fiercely down deep canyonb, now and then stopping for a short rest in some quiet pool. Aftor a da.i'a enjoyment of old Mt. Shasta, the finest peak on the continent, we drop rapidly down the canyon of the Sacramento to the broud plains of the Sacramento valley In Cali fornia, and thence through vineyards ai d orchards to San Francisco.

Tho "neighbors" gathered In from the various camps in the vulley to hear the address of F. A. Falken burg, head consul of the Woodmeu of the World, and with the members of the local camp and their wives and many townspeople not luumliers ot the order filled tho opora house to over flowing. Tho program of tho oveuing was opened by a selection by a male quar tet composed of Messrs. K. E. Gore, W. J. Mahonoy, Carl Webb and E. F. Wluklor, concerning the reudltiou of whioh much favornblo comment was heard. C. P, Snull, chief consul of Medford camp, then dulivered a short introductory address a very eloquent and graceful effort. Tho quartet fol lowed with another tuneful seleotlou. Mayor Crowell thou delivered the ad- tlriU nf wMlfiiima I., tl... .1 tut ....... ' visitors in tho scholarly and genial stylo for which he is noted. C. V. Cooper, of Portland, head olurk ot Women of Woodcraft, was then Introduced and made a short mid pleas ing talk, giving way to J. L. Wright, of Leadvillo, Colo., head banker of Woodmeu of the World, who also talked briefly, but to the point. Following this caino a rcullallou. whoruiu Utile Lola Suell told "How Papa Kode the Goat," In a manner thai brought reminiscent siniloa to lue countenances ot many of the neighbors present. Young Dean Morey then sang a solo, which was by no means one of tho least pleasing numbers on the program. Mr. Falkeuburg was next introduced and entertained the audience with a powerful and eloquent address on fra teinalistn. The lecture was one of the best and most convincing which has ever been delivered in Meuford, and demonstrated the benefit of .rnternitv aud frateruul organizations In a man ner which left no room for argument. Mr. Falkenburg has full control of his subject and his worda carried thu weight nd conviction that only truly earnest utterances can. M. F. Parker acted as chairman u( the meeting, and Introduced the speakers with the dignity and urbanity for which he is justly famous. After the conclusion of Mr. Falken- burg's address the Woodmen and their wives adjourned to the banquet hall, here a bountiful spread bad been pre pared by members of Chrysanthemum Circle, Women of Woodcraft, to which full justice was done by the banqueters Some time was spent In social converse and the discussion of the appetizing viands placed before them, when the gatberiug broke tip and all wended their way homeward, with a lively re membrance, which it will take no Utile length of lime to eradicate, of the pleas ant ana instructive evening they hud enjoyed.
