A number of Medford s laud-hearted citizens wore shocked and horrified at the punishment administered' to a vicious citv prisoner, whose favorite pastime has been whacking unsuspecting victims over the head wtih a beer bottle or raising "rough house" in restaurants, who has, served a three months' term in the county jail and who has tried to burn down the city jail. The city authorities attached a kill and cludu to this, prisoner, setting him at work cleaning Medford 's streets, thinking that his work in this capacity was more useful than were bis attempts to destroy the jail. He proved a good worker and personally preferred the ball and chain to jail" cell idleness. An ounce of prevention is said to be worth a pound of cure, and if it is widely known that Medford works pris oners with ball and chain, hoboes and yeggmen will give the city a wide berth. Ordinary jail confinement has no terrors for the average hobo. He gets his food and a place j to sleep and does not have to work just the kind of para dise he is looking for. Hard work, however, thoroughly frightens him, and he would run miles to get away from it. The same humanitarians whose tender and humane sensibilities were so wounded by the cruelty imposed upon the solitary hobo by the work, ball and chain, took an ea-( ger and feverish interest in bulletins from the Wolgast Nelson fight from San Francisco. Of course, there was; nothing barbarous, cruel and inhuman about two men pounding each other forty rounds, until both were wobbly and the referee and police forced to stop the brutal ex hibition to end the loser's agony. One of the fighters was pounded, the bulletins stated, "until his face was like a boil, his eyes closed tight, his- 'cauliflower ear' " (what ever that may be ) "torn into shreds," he was "soaked with blood to his waist and too wobbly to stand up." These choice morsels were gloated over and nothing ob jectionable found in them by those whose sensitive hearts t were wrung by the deserved punishment of a dangerous, character. Figures and statistics show that crime is increasing faster in the United States than in all countries of the world, and one reason for this increase is the maudlin sym pathy bestowed by well meaning people upon criminals, and the lack of adequate punishment to fit the crime. OPENING LIME DEPOSITS. iiaLHl aLB aH8Ham. . 'HHHK mm mm BaaaaaaaaaaaBaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaMTr...'aaBaBaBaBll I BiaaiiiiiiliiBMiwFCjB JAMES M. FEU- DO.V Originator of Forlon's European Medical E.iwrtjrnatment, Which Is Given by a Stair of Licensed Physi cians at tlu Moore Hotel, Medford. One of the many resources of the Rogue River valley seems now in a fail way toward development. The im mense lime deposits near Gold Hill are being opened up, kilns built and preparations under way to ship four or five hundred barrels a day. A railroad is being construct ed that will supply fuel for the kilns, and in turn bring down the burnt lime. These lime beds are extensive, and have been pro? Bounced by government geologists to contain the purest lime found in America. There is no reason why they should not prove a source of great wealth to the developers and to the country. Lime is but one of the many resources that nature has sprinkled over this valley. There are immense deposits of coal, iron, gold and other minerals, awaiting only the touch of capital to become great producers and commercial assets. No country in the world has, in the same area, as many different resources as this has, and it is but a ques tion of a little time until all will be in process of dovelop ment and time is on the wing. A well known and highly reapectod lady of Cosumnes is Mrs. J. F. Grlra shaw. She like many others of her sex. was a victim of severe headaches and extreme nervousness had been a silent sufferer for many years, and, in fact, was almost a nervous wreck. But the fame of Fer-Don's Medical Expert Specialists and undisputed proof of the wonderful cures effected by them in cases similar to her own, led her to seek advice. In speaking of the results obtained after treatment administered by thwio experts, Mm. Qrlmshnw was very enthusiastic, Bay ing: "I was troubled with chronic ner vousness aud the most awful head aches imaginable. My temples would throb until It seemed they must sure ly burst, My digestion was Impaired. 1 1 had dtxxy spells, and black specks would appear before my eyes, I was In such n condition that I was unable to do my own houso work, and be-' came so melauroly aud snd that at! times almost wished myself dead. , "All this happened before I began i taking advice and treatment of Fer-j Don's Medical Export at the Moore hotel, Medford. Now all Is changed. After only two treatments I begnn to tmprovo, gradually grow bettor day by day. until now I am roally en joying llfo ngnln, havo no doslro to ' dlo, and nil the world seems bright and full of happiness and sunshine, jwhero beforo all was dark and gloomy (clouds and shadows. I fcol llko an altogothor different woman and to Fer-Don's Expert Specialists bolong all tho praise1." Moro than a dozen Medford ponplo who were suffering from torpid llvor, ' constipation, gallstones, kidnoy trou-l hie, tumors, rheumatism indlgostion 1 and shattered nerves havo been cured by Fer-Don's Medical Exports slnco1 they opened their otflco In this city.! The results aro simply astonishing but; tho testimonials published in thenows papers from time to time, hundredsof which aro on file In their offices hero will convlnco the most skeptical that theso doctors do all, ant oven moro, than they claim. Mon and women who for years haTe been unnblo to eat a full meal without suffering; who havo beon tortured by rheumatism, racked with fear of tho asylum through shattered nerves; going in to a decline because of non-nsslmlla- tlon of food all theso havo boen re-J stored within a few brief wcokB to robust health. The Fer-Don Medical Experts can bo consulted at their offlco at the Moore hotel upstairs, botweon tho hours of 10 n. ni. and 12 noon and 2 and 4 p. m. and 7 and S p. m. Sun days from 10 a. m. until noon. Thoy charge 81.00 fee for consultation and examination. BITES DOG LICENSE IN WIENERWURST CRATER LAKE ROAD. . ..T4- (Pendleton East Oregonian.) The Medford Mail Tribune grows very caustic in speaking of the bu prome court's decision against the Crator Lake road. Ilere is an ox- tract from the Medford paper. "God threw a pearl before swine when he placed Crater Lake in Ore gon. The greatest natural wonder In the world, the greatest scenic as set any land possesses, and a neo pie too ignorant, too provincial, too ucudo m uppfumuiu ii, a people act ually hostile toward making it accea sible and a supreme court, as narrow as its constituency, catering for votes In its mossback environment. "The court has chosen to take the narrow construction of the law, al though less than a month ago it gave the Jaw a violent wrench to sustain its own unconstitutional membership --swallowed a oamel to strain at a gnat. But the Salem bog and the Willamette valley pinhead, and their reactionary guide in the tall tower have been appeased and assisted in their effort to hurl a stumbling block in the path of progress." These aro sharp words, but then the provocation is great. Many neo pie outside of Medford would also like to have Been tho Crater Lake road built It may bo bnilt yet. A movement is now on at Medford to raise $50,000 by subscription. ThiB amount will be added to another $50,000 appropriated by Jackson conntv and the $100,000 will bo used to construct the road. But it is in equitable to raise money by sub scription for such purposes as this. A few progressive and public-spirit ed people are made to bear a burden that should fall upon the shoulders of many.
