JAMES W, VIRTUE IS DEAD Represented Josephine County In Legislature of IS97. Hon. J. V. Virtuo died at his Port land residence, Friday evening at 5 o'clock. Ho was born in the Conuty of Permauah, Ireland, Juno 24, 18S7; came to Ontario, Canada, when a youth, and went to Omaha, Neb., iu 1W,. In(lStm he went to Auburn, Baker county, which was at that time the county Bent. Baker county was organized iu 18ti2, aud the gover nor appointed the, oouuty officials to servo until tho regular election of lSfit, v.lieti Mr. Virtue wag elected sheriff, a position he filled for six years with credit to himself and tho satisfaction of the people. Before tho expiration of his term as sheriff, the county seat removed to Baker City. At tho expiration of his public services, he engaged in mining aud hanking, and for several years was the leading spirit iu all enterprises tend ing to develop the mining interests of that section, as well as the agri cultural and stock industries. There was no enterprise calculated to ad vance tho interest of that section that (lid not receive his earnest moral and financial suport, mid uo man contributed moro to the development of Oregon milling interests than he did. Baker City owes iu a great measure her present position aa tho, Denver oi Oregon, to his enterprise. Tho famous "Virtue" mine was once his projierty and it was his money that opened its treasury of wealth. About, eight years ago, he moved to Lolund, Josephine county, where he engaged in opcuiug some valuable mining property, and about a year ago moved to Portland. In IS!), ho represented Josephine County iu the lower house of the Legislature, and niude a good work ing member of that body. The state is much indebted to Mr. Virtue for tho iKisitiou it uow holds as ft milling section, for uo man worked harder and invested moro liberally than lie and encnurugo others in this enter prise. Ho was regarded as the best authority in the Northwest ou all mining matters. Mr. Virtuo was prominent iu political mutters and always took great interest iu rty affairs, not, however, for (mrsoual gain, but for his friends, who alwu)s (ouud in li i 111 a man of tho highest typo of honor uud sincerity. These qualities endeared him to a host of warm friends throughout tho state. LAUNDRY FOR MEDFORD J. W Baker Expects to Start j One. J. V. Biker, proprietor of the Grants Pass steam laundry, was in Medfonl lust week ujion business. Mr. linker has leased his laundry in Grants Pass to J. J. Hansen, one of tho best boys that ever planted foot 011 Oregon soil, and he is doing all kinds of business. He is working 1,1 people and pays $100 a month rent for the establishment. It requires a good business to do that. Mr. Baker was in Medford llguriug with parties with tho intention of putting In a lirst class laundry plant here. If he is successful in securing the property he wants, he will do this. His plant, complete, has already been purchased to be put iu hero or at some other IHiiut. This is unquestionably the best laundry field there is in all Oreg 'ti, and if Mr. Baker does not got in ami do business right quickly, a home coniany will be organized for that purpose within the next few weeks. Mr. Baker is a good lundry man, and a hustler for business. Mail. A glass or two of water takeii half nil hour before breakfast will usually keep tho bowels regular.

Tho Medford brunch of the Ancient Order of Prevaricators held a social sessiou one day this week. Tho au dience was-regaled with some marvel ous stories of deeds iu "Hood aud Held," and finally tho discussion turned on dog stories. One member had known a shepherd dog to bay a wounded deer for three days, nud when found, tho dog had worn a path iu the earth around the deer so deep that his (the dog's) back wu) Just visible. Another had had a dog which rail a bear into a cave iu the early fall, and wheu tho owner acci dentally stumbled upon the pair in the spring, the bear aud dog had set tled all Immediate personal difllcul ties and Wero quietly sleeping nose to noso. After n few recitatives of truthful occurrences, among them being 0110 of a Dakota fox, that had climbed a wheat stalk, aud thus es caped from tho hounds, tho uew member told of a greyhound he had 01100 owned. The dog was Iu full career, chasing a wounded deer, aud was almost ready to catch his quarry, when the deer niiidu a sudden turn around a big fir tree. Tho'dog In stinctively turned with tho deer, but did not notice tho treo, and struck it fairly in the center. So great wus his speed that he telesco)M'd himself against that treo and from being a long, lank greyhound, became a hound of phenomenal shaic, being nearly three feet high and only 12 inches long, and was never any good for speed afterward. Tho members of tho club, by mutual assent, ad journed after this story, and u niche is being prewired alongside of the bust of Baron Munchausen in the as sociation club rooms, for the recep tion of the elligy of the new member, who coitiot la-t long at the pace he has inaugurated.

' 1 Bishop Wurruu tolls how ho was lod to Chlrst by an earnest schoolmate: When I wus 17 yurs old I was sent away from homo to school. The Christian students apportioned out tho non-Christ lun students among themselves for personal effort to bring them to Christ. I wus assigned to Joseph 11. Mansfield, uow of tho New Knglatid Conference. How well I remember the pleasant uutm'nn afternoon walk 011 the hills of Wil hrahani. I perfectly kunw my duty aud even my inclination, but needed a warm, loving urging to go forward. This I found In tho good brother, mentioned above. I soon camu into tho blessed cilcrionco of receiving power to become a Hon of God and a partaker of the divine nature." The Htundurd, Chicago, October 17, Nationul Baptist Journal, scans the isdlthnl economy horizon with peculiar significance when it says: "Sotitiiiieia,1n favy of prohibition of tho use of intoxicating liquors is steadily growing.
