Circuit Court
Grinds Away
A jury in the circuit court Thurs
day found J. D. Bell and John Sheri
dan of the Nash Hotel Company not
guilty of selling liquor to minors, af
ter but five minutes' deliberation.
This Is the inglorious finale of agita
tion launched two years ago. Nine
other Medford saloonnien were in
dicted on similar charges. They will
be dropped. The issue In the case
was woven about the responsibility of
an employer for the acts of his em
ploye.
After twelve hours' deliberation in
which they were unable to reach a
verdict, the jury in the trial of Ray
Toft, charged with perjury, was dis
missed Wednesday night by Judge
Calkins. At one time the jury stood
eleven to one for conviction. The
balance most of the time stood nine
to three and eight to four for con
vlcyon. In the closing balloting the
jury was deadlocked and could reach
no agreement or compromise.
This Is the second disagreement, a
jury at the September term of court
failing to reach a verdict after ten
hours' deliberation. The prosecut
ing attorney's office has reached no
decision whether a third trial will be
called or not.
The trial of Louis Martin, slayer of
Arthur Hubbard, game warden, will
commence today. Several venires of
jurymen will probably have to be
chosen. Much interest is being taken
in the case by Ashland people.

Why The Youth's Companion Should
lie In Kvery Family.
"If I could take only one paper,"
said the late Justice Brewer of .the
supreme court, "it would be The
Youth's Companion a little of every
thing in a nutshell, and unbiased."
The Companion is a family paper In
the completest sense. It provides
reading that, without failing to inter
est the young, still interests the ma
ture. It unites young and old through
their common enjoyment of delight
ful fiction, agreeable miscellany, and
the clear exposition of public ques
tions. So carefully is it edited, BOjaried
are Its contents, that it would easily
supply a family with entertaining fic
tion, up-to-date Information and
wholesome fun, If no other periodical
entered the house.
If you are not familiar with The
Companion as it is today, let us send
you sample copies and the Forecast
for the current volume.
New subscribers who send $2 for a
year's subscription will receive free a
copy of The Companion Home Calen
dar for 1915.

This Year's Taxes
Due For Payment
The taxes on Jackson county are
now due. The warrants authorizing
their collection are drawn and rolls
placed In thehands of the treasurer
for collection,
Fred L. Colvig, treasurer, makes
statement covering collection of taxes
for l914 as follows:
First half of all taxes legally lev
ied and charged shall be paid prior to
April 1 following, the remaining one
half to be paid on or before August
31 following without penalty.
Interest shall be charged and col
lected on any tax or one-half of tax
not so paid at tho rate of 1 per cent
per month or fraction of a month un
til paid. All taxes remaining unpaid
September 1 shall become delinquent
and will be subject to penalty of 10
per cent and interest at the rate of
12 per cent per annum until paid.
The new tax law passed by the re
cent legislature will not affect the
collection of the taxes for this year,
and in view of the fact that the legis
lature also enacted a measure provid
ing for the refund of the interest on
the last half of the 1914 tax roll, it
has been decided that the collection
of interest will be waived on last half
payments if made prior to Septem
ber 1.
He earnestly requests all taxpayers
to check up' their receipts with the
list of their .properties and report any
discrepancies promptly, so that the
matter can be adjusted; also to see
that tax receipts contain your per
sonal tax.
It would expedite the work In the
treasurer's office to a great extent if
taxpayers will make application by
mail for their tax statements, fur
nishing descriptions If possible.
A complete list of all property,
both real and personal, within the
corporate limits of Ashland has been
furnished each of the banks, also
G. F. Billings, where taxpayers may
make payments if desired.
