COSUMNES IADY
VERY FORTUNATE
THE BALL, THE CHAIN AND THE FIGHT.
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.

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

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

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.
