Help on the Crusade.

The officers of the National Tom
pcranco Society are much pleased
with the beginning Of their pledge
signing crusade. Upon recent sun
day, some 5000 ministers preached ON
the rayagos Of the drink habit and the
Importance Of pledging the young
people to total abstinence. On that
day tho pledge was signed by multi
tudo. Since then the work has been
carried on In public congregations,
Sunday schools, young peoples socie-
ties, and ~ certain cases even in the
public schools The movement has
been we'll received everywhere.
And we'll it may be. 1t is utterly
sensible. Aud as utterly feasible.
OF late years moral suasion in tho
temperance reform has boon too much
neglected Inasmuch as its fruitful
field is largely among the young, it is
absolutely essential to future success.
We must put every safe guard around
our boys to keep them from falling
victims 10 the drink habit The
logical and awful consequences of
oven tho slightest Indulgence in liquor
must be emphasized in every possible
way. The saloon is looking for new
material Il is after the boys. But
the boys it must not have.

CRIMINALS IN EMBRYO
JAils and Penitontiaries Yawn
for the "Hoodlum."

As to the beginning and the end OF
hoodlum, Ebert Hubbard, in tho
Philistine, gives the following true
sketch of his career from the time no
passes from his parents control to his
ending in u prison cell or the gallows:
Hoodlumism is born of idleness;
it is useful energy gone to seed. In
small town hoodlumism is rife, and
the hoodlums are usually the children
of the best citizens. Hoodlumism is
the first step in the direction of crime.
The hoodlum is very often a good boy
who does not know what to do; and
so he does tho wrong thing. He bonn
bards with tomatoes a good man TAX
ing bath, puts ticktacks on windows,
ties tin can to tho dogs tail, takes
the burrs Off your carriage wheels,
steals your chickens, annexes your
horse blankets and scares old ladies'
into fits by appearing at the windows
wrapped in II whito sheet. To wear a
mask walk in and demand the money
in tho family ginger-jar is the next
and natural evolution. Tho peniten-
tiary yawns for tho hoodlum.

DROWNED IN THE FLOOD
Such Was the Fate of james
Weeks of Elk Creek.

There is no longer any doubt but
that the horse found in Rogue river n
few days after the recent heavy rains
was the property of James D. Weeks,
who lives on Elk creek, and there is
no doubt but that Mr.. Weeks is
drowned.
Mr. Weeks left his home on the 22d
of January for Medford. He was here
on the 23d arranging to make proof ON
his homestead, and ON Saturday, the
cath, when the water was the highest,
he started for home and has not since
been seen.
His relatives at home, when he did
not return in due time, supposed he
was at his brothers. on this side of
Rogue river and was detained then by
the high water, and not until Wodnes-
day of this week did they learn
different
\ horse, saddle aud bride were
discovered on an island sand bar III
Rogue river soon after the high
water, and Dave Pence, who was down
from Trail and knew of Weeks alb
sence, at once guessed that the ami
NAL belonged to Mr.. Weeks, but moi
until Wednesday afternoon of thi.
week was it ascertained to a certainty
that his guess was correct.
The family, in the meantime had
been apprised of Mr.. Pence's appre.
hension and at once came to Central
Point and are now hunting for Mr..
Weeks remains.
The presumption is, of course, that
in attempting to ford some of the
swollen streams he was drowned, but
whether it was in Bear creek oi
Rogue river. or possibly Butte creek,
is not yet known. Weeks was moi
married. -Medlord Mail

Snapshots From Scripture Texts.


"And he that earneth wages, earn
eth wages to put into bag with holes
Thus saith tho Lord of hosts, consider
your ways. "(Hag. l'6).
The other day | saw farmer driv-
ing along with a wagon load of grain.
For half mile behind him | observed
a lite streak of grain mixed with the
sand of the road, What was tho mat
ter? Only n bag with hole in it.
That was all, But the grain was alb
solutely irrecoverable.
l have seen a boy with shiftless
mother who did not mend her sons
pockets. That boy could not keep
his marbles. Ho lost his knife. |
gave him a penny, and instinctively,
after the manner Of boys, he dropped
it into his pocket, and never saw it
again. What was the matter Only
holes in the littlo bags he called his
pockets.
l know II hard working young man.
He is honest, conscientious, earnest,
diligent, He earns good wages but
he never has any money Why? Be-
cause ho wants so many things, and
while his money last, he always buys
everything no wants. His pocket has
but one hole and that at tho top,
where the hole ought to be, but IL Is
nevertheless, a bag with a hole In it.
l had neighbor once whose family
had ragged clothes, and scarcely
enough to eat. They could not give
any money to the church for they
had not enough for themselves They
could not go to meeting for they had
no good clothes.to wear. But mover a
circus camo to town, and hardly ever
"a minstrel show but that family
somehow, found the money necessary,
and all went to tho show together.
In this case, the holo IN tho bag was
the waste OF a dcprnyed taste.
There arc hundreds Of laboring men
in this country who constantly com
plain Of hard times, and whose
families are in want just because,
when pay day comes, the open saloon
stands between the workshop aud tho
home They earn good wages but
when they receive it they put it into
a bag with holes and tho principal
hole is the lcgalzod saloon.
We say that mau is aa fool. God
says so, too We call him a miserable,
drunken wretch God says; "No
drunkurd shall enter into the kingdom
Of heaven" Into chat bag with It's

wages, but domestic happiness, home,

GOLD NUGGETS IN YREKA
Washing Precious Metal In Streets
of California Town.

Last Sunday from daylight until
dark, q largo crowd of men and boys
were hunting for nuggets of gold
along the west end Of Miner street,
and also along Gold street, washed
out by the ground sluicing food Of
water from tho heavy rain storm Of
Friday and Saturday previous. Most
of the crowd were armed with shovels.
hoes and pans, scratching over tho
surface aud washing the gravel in
their pans, gaining gold dust as we'll
as nuggets The gold evidently came
with the gravel washed down from
tho old diggings on Yreka Flat, the
gold seekers following tho route of
the wator running down tho west
end Of Miner street between the wost.
crn town sito boundary line and Gold
street, and along Gold street to North
street. Gold was probably floated in
to town with gravel on the streams
along the north and south sides Of
town, but became buried In the softer
sand and tailings, or hoated down
into Yrcka creek. Tho prospects thus
found prove that thCro is considerable

tho ground on tho fats has been sup

than they ever found over here And
perhaps they have. Who knows?
1t is gratifying to know that COM
panies are from time to time being
formed by our own capitalists here at
home to scientifically develop our
quartz or placer properties, and such
undertakings should receive all due
encouragement, as mining, when
properly carried out, is the safest
possible industry that can be engaged
in.
