Ted Kelso, tbe well-known dealer In bicycles, is confined to his bed with a broken leg, which Injury be sustained while at lodge Saturday evening. There was a big horse race half-mile and repeat—at Grant Pass Saturday, between R. B. Baber’s Rinaldo and W. I. Sweetland's Seventy. A large crowd was in attendance and considerable money was wagered on tbe result. Seventy won the first beat in 51 seconds and Rinaldo the next two, time 52 and 53 seconds respectively. A big crowd from different parts of the valley assembled in Medford Fri day to see Norris & Rowe's circus, menagerie and horse show combined. Beth performances gave entire satis faction and everybody who attended speaks In tbe highest terms of them. The show has been traveling through Southern Oregon for a number of years, but this time is much larger and even better, which is saying a great deal. A new time-card went into effect on the Sacramento and Western Division of the S. P. Co. on May 15th. Train No. 16 will leave San Francisco an hour later, but will reach Ashland at its usual hour of 3:55 p. m. The stop uow made at Dunsmuir of 30 minutes will be reduced to 15, and It is possible that further reductions will be made on the Oregon Division to accelerate train servioe. Many laboring men have been arriv ing here lately, from all sections, and few of them procured work. There are more men in the country than there Is employment,for Southern Oregon has a surplus of laborers;and still many are coming this way, greatly to the detri ment of those already at work and waiting to go to work. There has been no call for help in this section that we bave learned of. Antone Pereira took out of bls claim just below Hawkinsville, about two miles north of Yreka, a quantity of nuggets lately, one of which was about as large as a man's first weighing 34 ounces, worth almost 8600. It con tained a small amount of quartz to in dicate Its probable detachment from a ledge in prehistoric times; but the piece weighed heavy enough for solid gold, showing that the quartz in the nugget was insignificant. The Rogue River Valley Baseball League will be organized this week, unless some hitch occurs which la not foreseen. Billy Hulen of Ashlaod, Court Hall of Medford and G. N. Neu ber of Jacksonville went down to Gold Hill Tuesday night, and with the lead ers in the enterprise in that place will perfect tbe organization, elect officer» and arrange a schedule of games. Tbe Gold Hili people have secured grounds and arranged for putting up the 8500 bonds which each team in tbe league is rec;ulred to do as a guarantee that the season will be finished. The Tidings says that once the league is organized the Ashland club will reno vate and Improve its grounds and strengthen tbe slub, and tbe race for the pennant between teams composing the league will be on In earnest.

There is every reason why he should be elected, and we feel that be will be. T he proper and only pl tee for tbe county ireasurer’s office is at the court house, and that is where D. H. Miller has always kept it. When a man re ceives bis county warrant in the clerk’s office It is convenient for him to cross tbe hall to the treasurer’s office and there bave bis scrip endorsed. When Mr. Miller took charge of tbe county’s cash box nearly 840,000 was turned over to him by bls predecessor, which should haye been used in re deeming county-warrants and stop ping the interest on them. He made a radical change in this order of things and has been calling in war rants as often as there was a sufficient amount on band to do so. This has saved the taxpayers a large sum of money. His books are accurately and neatly kept and always balance to a cent. Such efficiency will certainly be rewarded by the people. The latch string has always bung out of Mr. Miller’s office and will doubtless be jound there two years longer. R. B.

Prominent among these reasons is “because tbe Democratic party is working to tbe end that a government of tbe people, for the people and by tbe people may not perish from tbe earth.v In all public matters Mr. Bridges stands firmly for the principle and practice of equal rights for all and special pri vilege* to none. He will therefore sene all the pe pie faithfully and well in tbe legislature. I t is time that the voters of Ore gon shall aay to tbe Republican party that they are tired of their promises of reform and retrenchment that they never fulfill, and that they will vote for men who will work for the interest of the taxpayer.
