If Barnes is elected Sheriff of Jackson county, we wonder if he will turn around and deputize Patterson for $60 a month, instead of paying him the $1,500 due him as a salary, as we understand Pat­ terson did with Barnes. By so dding, the Sheriff has the neat little sum of $780 to drop into his pocket—“and say nothing.” What may prove one of the geatest benefits to the human race is the dis­ covery that the application of the Roent- gent X ray is a sure cure for such diseases as consumption, typhoid, diph­ theria, etc. According to the announce­ ments of the physicians experimenting along this line, the application of the ray kills outright, the germs of these di­ seases, and, when thus destroyed, can never revived. Mr. H. B. Carter Dead. Mr. H. B. Carter, president of the Bank of Ashland, and a well known and highly respected citizen of Ashland, who left last week for Texas, suffered an at­ tack of paralysis last Saturday as the train neared Los Angeles. He was kindly attended and tak^n to the hos­ pital in Los Angeles, and his relatives and friends notified by telegram. The paralytic attack extended along Mr. Carter’s right side, rendering him un- concious. His identity was ascertained by an examination of his traveling pos­ sessions. At first, his condition was thought to be not dangerous. Last report is to the effect that Mr. Carter died this (Wednesday) morning at 3:40 o’clock. The remains will be brought to Ashland for interment. The sorrowing relatives have the heart-felt sympathy of the entire com­ munity. LOCAL SQUIBS. Central Point Pointers.

The third foot ball teams of the North and South schools of Ashland played a lively little match game on the foot ball grounds last Saturday afternoon. Sam­ uel Grubb was captain of the South school team and Louis Stanley was cap­ i tain of the North school team. Consid­ I ering their size, the boys played a very good game, Stanley, of the North school, and Whitney, of the South school, mak­ ing the best plays. The North school team scored a touch-down and a goal in i the first half The South school team made a touch-down just as the second half closed, and, through “jangling” and some misunderstanding of the rules, did not try at goal.
