Fifty years and two days ago last night Adam Schmidt of the thriving mining town of Jacksonville stood in the shadow of a tree before the Ulrlch residence and whistled a beguiling tune. Thir ty years old, he was a successful min er, the best musician in southern Ore gon and had won the heart of Em elia Ulrich, the belle of the mining camp. But Emelia was only 17 and Papa and Mamma Ulrich were loath to have their favorite daughter take the solemn vows of marriage at that ten der age. So Adam whistled and very soon a door opened softly and a girl ish figure tripped out. She had a flour sack over her shoulders and inside was everything that Emelia Ulrich held most dear nowadays it would be called a wedding trousseau. Without a word the two young people joined hands and in five minutes were snugly packed in the old stage coach bound for Sailor Diggings and Crescent City. The sheriff had been considerately tipped off that the pair were about to leave for the north and two horse men were on the north road ready for the eloping pair. But the stage coach went south and west and at Sailor Diggings a change was made to a mule freight team and on August 15 the happy pair were married in Crescent City by Judge Mason of the coast city. This event was fittingly celebrated at the Schmidt home in Jacksonville last night with a wedding anniver sary dinner and dance that will go down in the history of Jacksonville and Jackson county as the greatest event of the kind ever recorded. One hundred guests of the pioneer couple gathered at the Schmidt home and sat down to a munificent ban quet at 9 o'clock, after which to the stirring measures of an eight-piece orchestra dancing was enjoyed, the happy couple leading, the grand march. The wedding ceremony performed with such success by Judge Mason 50 years ago was repeated by Judge Watson of Ashland and the number of congratulations showered on the couple who had completed half a cen tury of married life was only exceed ed by their heartiness and warmth. A barrel of Rhine wine made by Adam Schmidt Beven years ago was opened, toasts were drunk and merri ment and good cheer reigned until an early hour this morning. "The only crime I ever commit ted," declared Mr. Schmidt, "was stealing Emelia Ulrich 50 years ago, and it is the one act of my life I shall never regret.' "Fifty years Is a long time," said Mrs. Schmidt, "but I only wish we could live on together another fifty." Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt have lived in Jacksonville all their lives and have hundreds of friends throughout the county. They hae had three chil dren, Julius Schmidt of Cortland, Cal., George Schmidt, deceased, and Mrs. B. E. Haney of Medford. Julius Schmidt and Mrs. Haney both attend ed the celebration, as did Mrs. Wal ter Sutton of Port Orford, a daugh ter by M. Schmidt's first wife. Portland, Aug. 12.

The world's annual consumption of rubber was 5,000 tons in 1875, while the present consumption is nearly 100,000 tons. Oregon lumber is also enjoying a j season of great popularity in foreign j countries, judging from the present brief demand. In one day the past week five vessels were chartered to carry Oregon fir from the Columbia river, three to Australia, one to New Zealand and one to England. Of interest to every community in the Columbia river basin is the an nouncement made within the past few days by Major Mclndoe, U. S. Corps of Engineers, that work on' the north jetty at the mouth of the Columbia will be commenced in Oc tober. The original estimate of 1, 000,000 as the cost of this improve ment has been increased to $6,000, 000, and it i3 expected that 5,000,- 000 tons of rock will be required in the work. The government officials have announced that the south jetty, which was commenced in 1885, Is now completed and that the task of transferring the equipment to the north, side of the river will be taken up at once.

Shepherd, the local piano dealer, has devised a plan whereby he can sell a few pianos direct from the factory, including stool, fancy scarf or rubber hood, with one free tuning, at the price of One Hundred and Twenty Dollars. These pianos are exactly the same in quality, in wood and in mechanism as those used by mercan tile business men for advertising pur poses, and known as "Prize Pianos," priced at $350 In advertised con tests. By securing pianos through a piano dealer, who handles pianos and player pianos exclusively, an oppor tunity is given to exchange towards a piano of higher grade or towards a player piano. Interested parties please examine these instruments and hear the plan explained at C. F. Shepherd's piano parlors, 658 Boule vard, Ashland, Ore. War on the Housefly. July and August are the months during which the filthy and disease carrying housefly flourishes, ever yone should make war on the vile pests. The best way, of course, is to clean up the manure piles and other filth deposits in which insects breed, but apart from that much can be ac complished to free the homes of them. Screens for doors and win dows accomplishes a good deal to that end, but a few get into the house occasslonally and become nu merous if neglected. There are three or more commercial fly pois ons. One is the old fly paper, which kills, but in other ways is not satis factory. Another Is sticky fly paper, which also kills to some extent but Is cruel and disgusting. The best and cleanest fly poison Is formalde hyde, which can be obtained at any drug store at a small cost. It disin fects the dead flies. A teaspoonful to a cup' of water will probably do the business. If made too strong the flies will not take it, then add a little more water; if too weak it will not kill readily, then add a little more formaldehyde. In the right proportion flies like it and it is deadly. Passenger Rates to Be Reduced. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 16. Un less an unexpected injunction is granted, fares will be reduced to 2 cents tomorrow on the lines of the Western Railway of Alabama and the Central of Georgia, within the state of Alabama. The reduction follows a long and bitter fight between the railways and the state commission. Medford, Aug. 14.
