Tarious atmospheric disturbances which
have afflicted this mundane sphere of
ours. "Didn't I told you so," says old

Reported Dying. Sunday evening
the report reached Lebanon, Linn Co.,
that Gen. M. V. Brown, ex-State
Printer, was lying at Low er Soda, in a
dying condition. Softening of the
brain had set in, and death was pro
nounced inevitable. Mrs. Brown was
at the bedside of her husband, and
word was. sent to Mrs. Stewart, at Al
bany, the mother of Mrs. Brown, for
her to lose no timo in coming to Lower
Soda. Mr. Brown went to that point
several week ago, in hopes of benefitting
his health. If not already dead, his
death may be anticipated any time.

Lost His Hand. Quite an accident
1 appened last Mouda) afternoon at
Chandler it Morris' saw mill, six miles
above Ashland. Geo. W. Morris,
one of the hands at the mill, whilst in the
act of taking away a slab from the log
that was being sawed, had his right
arm caught in the circular saw and
terribly -mutilated. Dr. Aiken, who
was summoned by telegraph, found the
limb so badly muiilated as to necessi
tate amputation of the arm below the
elbow, Dr. Parsons lately moved into
Ashland assisting in theoperation. Mr.
Morris is a brother to one of the own
ers of the saw mill where the accident
happened, and is a young man of
family.

Sacramento has the best police regu
lation of any city on the coast. An
effectual mode of suppressing hudlum
iam is found in an ordinance requiring
all minors to be away from the streets
after 9 p. u. At nine o'clock sharp
the big town bell is sounded, and if
any youngster, either boy or girl, is
found wandering on the streets he or
she is jerked into the lock-up and kept
there until morning. Minors doing
errands after that hour are required to
have a written permission from their
parents or guardians. How is Jack
sonville on this subject?
Wa are in receipt of the catalogue of
the University of Oregon, located at
Eugene. By it we notice that there
are enrolled in the Collegiate Depart

one students have graduated since the
founding of the institution. The fac
ulty is composed of seven Professors,
all first-class educators. Jackson
county is entitled to three scholarships,
which are now held by three of our
promising young men, who are now
spending vacation in our midst. The

Linktillr a Hot Place. The
GoUen-lale (W. T.) Gazette has a cor-
fjondent who is travelling through
tfygon and California. Canipinj; out
at LinkviTle, he has this ay of thatM
truly wenderful place: "Linkville is
in Lake county Oregon, on Link river
a few miles below Klamath lake. H
are hot springs, hot creek", hot wffii
and hot whisky. In short Linkville is
a hot place. All the wells and springs
in to-n are boiling hot except one,
and that is good water. Think of
drawing water that must stand over
night to cool before it is fit to drink.
We camped at some springs just out
side of town, where there was a place
for scalding hogs. In another spring
we boiled beans and cooked fruit in a
few hours. Among other strange
things were some cows that usually
drank near the scalding hot springs.
A grand place for a China wash house;
water always warm an 1 so soft that
very little soup is needed."
Endangering the Public Health.
The practice of leaving the carcasps
of dead animals in the road or on the
wayside, tilling the atmosphere with a
deadly stench, should be stopped. A
number of dead animals,-are now lying
exposed to the broiling sun on some of
the most frequented public highways
in the county, and travelers who pass
that way inform us that the atmos
phere is loaded xvith such foul stwnch
as to make them sick. Immediate
steps should be taken to abate these
pestilence breeders. The county au
thoritips who are authorized to protect
the health of the people, should require
every owner of such animal to bury it
out of sight or to burn it without de
lay; or if the owner will not doit, then
it should be done at the county's ex
pense, and and there should bn some
Ly-"? imposing a fine upon offenders.

Accident to Gen. Ankest. The
Lakeview Examiner of June 25th,
says: Thursday afternoon a party con
sisting of Gen. Ankeny, A. McCallen,
Col. C. A. Cogswell and M. A. Kelton,
with Frank Lane, driver, started for
the Hot Spring baths about two miles
north of town. When a short dis
tance on this side of D. W. Cheesman's
house, the bit on the near horse pulled
in two, and the horses started to run
away. Cogswell and McCallen jumped
out of the wagon before the team got
under headway, without sustaining
serious injury. A short distance
further on Gen. Ankeny was thrown
out of the wagon, his left foot getting
caught in the brake bar, breaking the
leg near the ankle. His face was
slightly bruised in the fall. Kelton
and Lane, who were on the front seat
stayed with the team, which they
succeeded in stopping after a run of
about half a mile. No damage save a
sprung axle was sustained by the wag
on. Gen. Ankeny was brought into
town and is under the care of Drs.
Cason and WLitcaker. It is thought
that the General will be able to be
around in the course of two or three
weeks, though it will be a considerably
longer time before his leg will be as
strong as before. No blame can be
attached to the driver as the accident
happened on a level road and the horses
were kept in the road until stovPe(1-

iy in jumping from the wagon.
The Asiilaiid Bridge. The new
double track bridge crossing the
stream at the town of Ashland was
finally completed this week, after it
had been under "way nearly three
months. To all appearances it is one
of the strongest structures in the coun
ty, and bids fair to withstand any
strain that it may be subjected to by
weight and water. Tho massive abut
ments of heavy dressed stone, firmly
built upon tho bed rock give the super
structure a very solid foundation to
rest upon. If the bridge had been
built of iron instead of timber, wh
think it would stand for ever. The
cost of constructing this bridge will be
in the neighborhood of S1G00, which
sum will be equally divided between
the county and the corporation of the
town of Ashland. B. S. Freeman is
the contractor and builder and the
work is to be inspected and received
by the county authorities on the Gth
of this month. No bridge in Southern
Oregon will see more service than this
one.
A Starry Trip to the Mines.
Several carriage loads of Eastern Stars,
gallantly escorted by Messrs. Theod
oric Cameron and L' argent Dunlap,
visited Frank Ennis headquarters at
the Sterling mines on Sunday last.
Not altogether unapprised of the ap
proach of this splendid perehelion, Mr.
Ennis and his faithful assistants were
fully prepared for tho occasion; and
the best that the camp could afford was
brought into requisition to insure th
comfort and enjoyment of these fair
visiting Jacksonville Stars. Our re
porter kindly furnished us with the
following list of visiting young ladies,
nil members of the Masonic Order of
Eastern Star: Misses Annie Miller,
Aba Ross, Jennie., and Estella Levi,
Maggie Hnd Cora Linn, Sarah and
Elzye Berry, Alice Hanley nnd Tillie
Miller. It is scarcely necessary to add,
that there was no lack of gallantry on
the part of Mr. Ennis' two assistants,
Lawrence Paulsen and Antoine Rose.

Great Fruit Crop. B. F Miller,
the Sardinecregkr'jiursury nan, was
intywruwTTuesday. He'' brought to
our office samples of thv year's crop of
seedling cherries, ji the "Late Duke"
and "Luelhi" or "Black Rjpublican"
species; "" They are the largest and best
ten we, have so tar seen
rlnVOregon species of
cherries took the premium at the Cen
tennial Fair in 186, and are tho kind
to have around one's rural premises.
Mr. Miller says tho fruit crop will be
immense this year. With the limited
orchard he has, he expects to dry one
thousand bushels of fruit this summer,
with the plum and peach predominat
ing. Road Work. The road overseers
generally throughout the county have
dono some good work on our county
roads; but a good deal is yet to be done
before they can be considered in first
rate condition. A number of small
bridges crossing sloughs and gullies,
whicli were washed out by last winter's
freshet, are still unrepaired, and team
sters with loads are obliged to drive
around them, at the iminent peril of
upsetting. If the road overseers would
but put in a few days' work the bad
placet alluded to iould soon be rem
edied, and they (thn road overseers)
would be entitled to the gratitude of the
traveling public.
