T be street car men In San Francisco are making trouble on rather a new basis. Instead of tbe usual tendency of railroad companies to reduce their staff of operators, the street railroads of San Francisco are accused of taking on too many men, maintaining too many “students,” etc., all of which the unions claim to be contrary to their peace and dignity. It has been sup posed that the more men a grasping corporation had to pay the better the result to the general public, especially to the laboring public. Now it seems the union car men are fearful that eome of their leaders may order a strike, and in such event by reason of these extra men the care might be operated, hence this stitch in time. However, the San Francisco public has had a taste of walking over the hills when it pleased the unions to strike, and just now, when wages are good and there is no real reason for trouble, any labor leader who precipi tates a strike will be without public sympathy and will probably invite fail ure. Democratic Ticket Of Josephine. Josephine County Democrats held their convention Saturday afternoon nd put in tbe fiel d the following ticket: Representative, Robert G. Smith. Sheriff, C. L. Lovelace. Clerk, James Slover. Assessor, H. C. Parkins. Treasurer, J. T. Taylor. Commissioner, John Wells. School 8uperinendent, Dennis H. Stovall. Delegates to State Convention—W. H Flanagan, R. G. Smith, T. Y. Dean, ). O. Booth, C D. Burnett. The convention declared itself in favor of the candidacy of W. R. Hearst for President. It also touched on the matter of salaries of county officers and the present fish laws. Veterans Have Wrong Idea. To make clear the actual effect of the provisions of tbe recent pension age order of Commissioner Ware, the following official stament bas been made: ‘There seems to be an impression among many of the, old sod lets that allowances of pensions under tbe ‘age order’ of the Commisioner of Pensions are an addition to pensjons allowed heretofore. “This is an erroneous Idea of tbeor- der. The law prohibits lbe payment of more than one pension to a person for the same period, and the effect of tbe order <>n those having a pension already will be only to increase such up to tbe age limit,Jif tbe pension al ready drawn is below that amount., Beat Cough Medicine for Children. LEVI STRAUSS &C£>S copper riveted \ overalls When you buy a cough medicine for small children you want one in which you can place implicit confidence. You want one that not only relieves but cures.

The bhekade on the Southern Pacific caused by a landslide in the Siskiyou Mountain, near Wall Creek, was lifted Friday. At the < ffices of t he S( utbern Pa cific Company it was stated that the interruption of traffic was caused by two landslides near the east end of tunnel No 13, not far from Siskiyou Station. The first slide occurred at 2 o’clock Wednesday and covered the track to ■i depth of eight feet for a distance of about 200 feet. The second slide was at the same place and was 50 feet l >ng. The material which slid down the mountain was mostly soft earth and snow, requiring considerable • irae for its removal. Ten trains were stopped at the obstruction, and about 900 passengers were considerably delayed. It was not found feasible to transport them across the break iu the line, as the slide was within 60 feet of tha mouth of the tunnel, and the snow prevented the construction of a temporary wagon road over the mountain. The bursting of a mountain lake is Baid to have caused all the damage. The ticket placed before tho voters of Jackson county by the Democrats in convention assembled last Saturday is a good one, and a feeling of harmony and a determination to win in June is a merged feature of the aftermath of the convention. Of course there was some rivalry In the convention, but that over harmo ny prevailed, and if there weye any sore spots early in the day their com plete healing was manifest when the convention adjourned. It now rests with the delegates to 'the convention and the members of the party with what enthusiasm the battle will be fought from now until the closing of the polls on the 6th day of June. If the Democrats of Jackson county will do their duty there can only be one result—Victory. It is the duty of every Democrat to stand by the nominees of his party,and the man who falls to doteo is disloyal to his party. Success can only be won by a stead fastness to principle, and he is not a good Democrat who sacrifices his prin ciples for private gain or revenge. Victory can be won in June by the Democracy of Jackson county being united. There is no breach in the ranks and there should be none. Faithful work all along the line will bring about the desired result. It devolves upon every member of the party to do his share of tile work for every individual nominee, and when the campaign shall have been closed the whole ticket will be far in the lead of the opposition.

Mid scenes of coafusion—the babble of tongues— How blest to be anchored In some haven, where The wars of opinions and creeds can- • not harm, And those in the baven rests peace fully there. How blest when the menace of infidel thought Would drive all the hope of the Christian away, To rest in tbe arms of the Infinite One, And bask in the sunlight of unend ing day. How blest when the bridegroom shall come for his bride, Attended by guests from the Heav enly strand, To find the bride waiting and watch ing for him, Arrayed in the costume of that hap py land. How blest when the virgins all come to the feast Made wise by tbe lesson once given, they all, • - - vVith lamps trimmed and burning and vessels well filled, Now enter together tbe banqueting hall. How blest, when our loved ones are passing away, To return to tbe earth life again nevermore, To know that tbe Master is piloting them From time to Eternity’s beckoning shore. How blest when the little ones, long gone to rest, Are anxiously waiting for Mother to come; Her Sisters and Brothers and Parente, as well, All eagerly watching to welcome her home. How blest, when the nations of earth are engaged, Preparing for war on a marvelous scale, The hosts on tbe land and the ships on the sea Awaiting for orders to march or to sail. To know that whatever the conflict may bring, • E'en though he may fall In the ter rible strife, The soldior of Christ will arise from tbe tomb To enter tbe portals of eternal life.

That is the way the score of the game of base ball played at Ashland Sunday afternoon stood at the ninth inning. Patterson and Gasket, Medford’« new battery imported from California, did not show up to advantage, proba bly lacking practice. Pat. Donegan, Jr., of Jacksonville, in the absence of Ashland’s regular pitcher, (who is also a Californian, but failed to arrive in time for the game) was in the box for the granite city nine, and did first-class work. He al lowed the Medford players to make only one run, on a fumble. There was a large crowd present from different parts of the valley, to witness the contest, which was not nearly as interesting as expected. The next game will be played in Jacksonville, on Sunday. Medford's athletic grounds are rap idly assuming shape, and as soon as they are fit a game will be played there. Ax Novel Proceeding. It la said that the General Land Office is about to establish many re forma in its method of transacting busi ness. One of these la the equipment of ita special agents with the finest class of kodaks. These will be used to photograph the improvements of homesteads, timber and stone entries and other land taken by settlers, and the plotures will be the best kind * of evidence In the thousands of contest cases pending. In most of the cases where title is disputed the original en tryman sets up the claim that he has made more or less improvements, and the contestant who seeks to oust the en tryman alleges on the contrary that there are few if any improvements and that the law has not been com plied with. On this issue there are lively contests and many witnesses are brought to testify on each side. As a usual thing these disputes end I d an ap peal to the head office in Washington, which involves time and expense. It is believed that the kodak will put an end to much of this trouble, supplying evi dence that cannot be controverted and removing any possibility of mistakes in evidence, the w^ness in this case be ing Incapable of trifling with the truth and beyond the implication of perjury. Summer Millinery. Tbe new turbans are decidedly smart with the tailored or street gown, tbe color of which they sb >uld match. There are straw braids in striking col or conbinations apd two-toned effects, that lend themselves to this style; they require very little trimming, a breast, quill, or straw buttons being sufficient. Some of the season’s smartest mod- els are the broad-brimmed fiat hats. Tbe brims are soft and easily made to conform to Individual becomingness. Folds of tulle, shirred chiffon, silk or lace form the brim facing of nearly all the new models. The white hat is Fashion's choice. Tbe introduction of a bit of gold or silver lace, braid or tassels is frequent ly seen. Tbe tint called champagne is next to white in favor, and has the advantage that it will not sunburn or become discolored. Pale blue and re seda green are other fashionable col ors. Among tbe novelties in gold trim mings are tbe cockades in white and gold, all gold, or in straw and gold or black aDd gold. There are also the gold epaulettes, gold cords, braidsand tassels. A drapery of white or black lace is another of the season’s innova tions.—[From The Delineator for May. SOFT CORE Like the running brook, the red blood that flows through the veins has to come from somewhere. The springs of red blood are found in the soft core of the bones called the marrow and some say red blood also comes from the spleen. Healthy bone marrow and healthy spleen are full of fat. Scott’s Emulsion makes new blood by feeding the bone marrow and the spleen with the richest of all fats, the pure cod liver oil. For pale school girls and invalids and for all whose blood is thin and pale, Scott’s Emulsion is a pleasant and rich blood food. It not only feeds the blood-making organs but gives them strength to do their proper work. » Send for free sample. SCOTT & BOWNK, Chemists. Pvarl Street, New York. yx.\ aud |i .ou; all druggiata.
