ASHLAND,. .. .WEDNESDAY, APRIL

EDITORIAL.
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.
