Consider able Interest is taken, and a big vote should be gotten out that day. It is tiie duty of every citizen to vote at their city election. A goed showing puts life into everything.

It was a real jolitlcatlon even if It were not on a very large scale. Gold Hill, In about the same humor as Jacksonville people, will celetrate tonight. They will give a free ball and have a genuine good time. J. K. Carpenter, a mining engineer, who U well known Io Jackson county, and was for two or three years super intendent of the Swayne Mining Com pany of Applegate, is a survivor of the ill-fated ship Rio Janeiro, which sunk in Golden Gate harbor on last Friday, and 128 passengers were drowned. Mr. Carpenter tiad a ter rible experience in saving himself. He with another man were in a small boat, when the steamer’s bow «truck it as »be went down, smashing it and throwing them into the water. Mr. C. was almost dead when picked up. The meeting of the Pacific coast traveling passenger and freight ngents of many of tiie different railroad lines of this country brought to Ashland last Friday one of the liveliest groups of men who have ever collectively visited the city. These keen-witted diplomatic gentlemen were out for a little vacation and a good time, and it is safe to say, that with their usual success, they accomplished their ob ject. Aside from the convivial feat ures of the affair the meeting was Im portant not only to themselves but to Ashland as a city. In their peregrina tion up and down the coast they have the opportunity and doubtless the dis position to say many nice things about places they visit.—[ Tidings. The claim of other cough medicines to be as good as Chamberlain’s are effectually set at rest In the following testimonial of Mr. C. D. Glass, an employe of Bartlett A Dennis Co. of Gardiner, Me. He says: “I had kept adding to a cold ana cough In the winter of 1897, trying every cough medicine I heard of without perma nent help, until one day I was In the drug store of Mr. Houlehan, and he advised me to try Chamberlain’s Cough remedy, and offered to pay back my money If 1 was not cured. My lung» and bronchial tubes were very sore at this time; but I was complete ly cured by this remedy, and have since always turned to it when I got a cold, ana soon find relief. I also recommend it to my f rlends. and am glad to say it Is the be st of all cough medicines.” For sale by City Drug Store." DAVIDSON ITEMS. Miners are busy, with good pros pects of a long run and a big cleanup. Miller A Savage are piping steadily and picking up much coarse gold. The eldest son of J. L. Woolridge had bls leg broken lately by a horse falling on him. Farmersare anxious for the weather to clear up, as there Is les» grain sown at this time of year than is usual. Joseph Martin has sold his little farm in this vicinity to F. Lang, who will take possession Io the spring. W. 8. Bally, the rustling merchant of Davidson, a few day» ago was show ing up some quartz propositions to a mining man from Portlaud. Will. Messner, son-tn-law of J. W. York, has rented the farm of O. II. Basye, near here. May prosperity at tend him and hi» newly made wife. Au uncle of L. C. and C. II. Basye was here last week, visiting Luc., and inspecting our mining resources, ac companied by his wife. He was well pleased with this locality. J. E. Davidson, W. H. Miller and Arthur Gilmore have been placer min imi near the old burg, on William» creek The handfull of nuggets they pick, a up certainly indicates a good claim. L. L. Jewell, one of 1 be owners of the Mountain Lfon mine, was here last week. A force of men has been at work on this mine tor some time, and have run a tunnel about 600 feet long to tap the ledge They are now taking out ore from one of the veins cut lu tiie tunnel and expect to cross cut the utber vein In tiie near future. The Biggest Transfer Yet. T he T imms learns that tiie big min ing syndicate, represented by J. W. Opp, and C. C. Beekman have com pleted negotiations '.Thereby the former has become possessed of some valuable mining property, situated in Jackson creek district. The consid eration is said to have been $25,000. Tills mean« much to the future of Jacksonville, as no doubt one or more valuable ledges will be discovered there. The pioneer town of southern Oregon may yet become Its principal one. Full particulars will be given In our next issue. Education In Porto Rico. The expense of maintaining schools In Porto Rloo la very high, if we oonslder the amount spent for the smell number of pupils enrolled, but as that country ie gradually brought In closer touch with our own, tbelr system will evidently be changed, until It reaches our pres ent state of perfection. In this conntry the people are oeing educated to the fact that there Is a sure cure for dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, liver and kidney troubles, and that medicine le Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It should be taken at the very first symptom, If you would avoid unnecessary suffering.

PIHKHAM'S VEGETABLE OOMPOUND “ I waaauffering to auch an extent from ovarian trouble ’ that my physician thought an operation would be necessary. Your medicine having been recommended to me, I decided to try it. After using several bottles I found that I was cured. My system was toned up and I suffered no more with my ovaries. Lydia F! Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the greatest boon on earth to suffering women.”—M bs . A nna A ston , Box 13, Troy, Mo. Ovarian trouble is serious trouble. Every woman knows this. Frequently she has ovarian trouble when she thinks she baa only a ** pain in the side.” All at once she finds herself unable to walk. She is a sick woman. An operation, dangerous and expensive, is the usual procedure, and. at best, she can expect merely to gather together the shattered remnants of health after a tedioas struggle. Many times this is necessary and many times it is not. It is wise for every woman to be convinced that every backache and sideache, every abdominal pain, indicates something wrong, and something which will not go away itself or be driven away by hard work. It is also right for every woman to know that for every disorder of the feminine organs Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the perfect treatment, that it is the medicine always safe to use and always certain to help. When your health and perhaps your life is at stake, is it wise to pass by a remedy which holds the record for the greatest number of absolute cures of female ills and which is recognized by the profession to be the greatest medicine for women in the world, and accept something else which you know little or nothing about? Read the records of cure in the letters like Mrs. Aston’s printed regularly in this paper, and if you are sick, do not be satisfied to take a substitute for At tbe request of * number of eitlxene of Jacksonville I bare beceme an Independent candidate tor the office of Town Marshal.

N ew Y ork , Feb. 27—There are few additional details of the rout of the Dutch forces In Soutli Africa, says the Tribune’s London correspon dent, but there i» a buoyant feeling in military circles, and the end of the war seems nearer. The conjunction of Dewet's forces with the commadoes that were already in Cape Colony has been prevented, the invaders have been scattered in all directions and their rccources have been paralyzed. Botha'« force has been harrassed and compelled to break up Into small bana«. Its losses in ammunition are heavy and the country is devastated. General Kitchener has, with scientific thoroughness, corralled the spare population here and there under strong guard and emptied the vast spaces of South African velt so that there Is no possibility of continuing the war in an effective way. There are no relays of horses, no droves of cattle, and the velt is uninhabitable, and trainwrecking is tbe last resource of the guerrillas. There may oe un foreseen accidents, but no military expert in London thinks the war will be prolonged beyond the first of July. It is reported that there were wagers made In Johannesburg at the opening of the year that the mines would be operated by the first week in July. Toothing Property for Sale.
