DOIN0S At THE COURT HOUSE
OF the Taxpayers of Josephine County
From Various County Officials -
Reward for McCum ber.

"Jim" McCumber, the erstwkile
Jail bird who made his escape from
the Josephine county Jail one quiet
Sunday afternoon, recently, by saving
off one of the heavy iron bars by
means OF case knife, which he had
made into file, is still conspicuous
for his absence and Sheriff Russell
wants to know OF his whereabouts
The fellow is one Of those professionl
criminals and has been in the tolls Of
the law before and if he can help it,
he does not propose to be sent up to
the state penitentiary this time for
trolling" drunk at Leland and
touching" him for the sum Of SIC.
Sheriff Russell offers reward of S25
to any person who will furnish in.
formation, leading to the arrest of
the fellow. McCumber may have
left this part Of the country for good.
although he was seen prowling around
the neighborhood of Leland, where
his last known crime was committed.
II caught he will be summsrily dealt
with and will doubtless find himself
behind the state prison bars, where
he seems to rightfully belong.

School Clerks Negligent

County School Superintendent
Savage is making arrangements for
his tour Of annual inspection OF
the schools Of Josephine county. as
he is required by law to make. But
in planning for the trip he finds that
he is not sure about some of the
schools holding school, as the clerks
of certain districts have entirely
failed to comply with the law in the
matter of filing with the county
superintendent copies Of their con-
tracts with the teachers they may
have employed. This is a matter OF
much Importance and some school
clerks may find that they have made a
big mistake In not thus complying
with the law governing such matters
Superintendent Savage hopes those
officials who have not attended to this
matter will proceed to do 80 at their
earliest possible opportunity.

DON'T PUT IT OFF LONGER
Get Rid of That INDIGESTION a,
Once by Using Mi.o.na.

Many people in Grants Pass are
slowly poisoning themselves by
chronic indigestion. Their neglect
to cure sluggishuess of the important
orgs"s of indigestion tii Is the system
with fermenting and dscaying food
that results in sick headache, heart
burn. bad taste in the mouth and
many other symptoms.
Mi o-ns stomach tablets are for the
special relief of such sufferers. They
quickly cure the worst cases Of in
ulSestion and when used few DAYS
the pain and distress often felt aftsr
meals will disappear.
mi-o'na stomach tablets cost but so
cents box and do more good than a
dozen boxes of the ordinary digestive
tablets. Demsrsy gives an absolute
unqualified guarantee to refund the
money il Mi-o-na fails to cure.

TO ALL
Giant Mail Order Concerns
Are SdPping Country of
It's Wealth.
SMALLER TOWNS CRUSHED
BY Assisting in the Capitalization
of Wealth, Patrons of These In
stitutions Contribute to Their
Own Injury.

Copyright, 1906. by Alfred c. Clarlk-)
Every year millions upon millions of
dollars find their way from the towns,
villages and rural districts of the coun-
try to the Golfers of the mail order
houses in the cities, and go to the up
building of enormous institutions in
the centers of population. Naturally,
the sources from which the contribu-
lions are made suffer accordingly.
Figures ever tell a better story than
words. Here are figures which tell
story so stupendous that it's full sig
nificance cannot be grasped in a mo-
ment, but the mere sight of which are
awe inspiring:
In the year 1905 two mail order
houses, located in Chicago, did a bust
ness amounting in round numbers to
$50, 100000. In the year 1904 these
same concerns did business of about
$62 100000, a gain of $1S,0OO,O0O or
nearly 80 per cent. in a single year be-
ing thus exhibited.
These figures represent the sale last
year of one dollars worth of merchan-
disc for every man, woman and child
in the country by two catalogue houses
alone, and those operating from the
same central point. Dozens more of
varying size and importance are oper-
ating all over the country from coast

him to digging pit in the clay soil
about yard square. In it he built a
fire and heaped it way up, SO that,
after it had burned for an hour and
been cleaned out, that pit was pretty
near as hot as Tophet. Then it was
ready for business. We put the head,
skin and all, on the bottom, with
plenty of those sugary vans alongside.
Over the top we put some oak planks
we borrowed from a neighboring
farmhouse, and covered them over
with earth. You can imagine how per-
fectly everything was cooked in that
ready-made oven.
Meantime, 1 sent out invitations to
Gen. Pat Cleburne, of Arkansas; Gen.
Brown, of Tennessee, my own state
the was afterwards governor); Col
Moses Wickes, and other army men
stationed near us. There's no need
to say all responded, for, let me tell
you, the federals had swept the coun-
try almost bare, and it had been
short commons with Bragg's army for
several weeks. Our table was made
of three oak planks held up by
crotched tree branches; our dining
room was the scrub oak grove where
we had pitched our camp, with the
Wild birds singing and chirping in the
leaves; the fresh smell of the earth
was in the air, and what more did we
want?
1.-The cows head was served on a hot
oak plank for a trencher, with the
yams cuddled alongside. Our hunger
was our sauce, our condiments were
plain salt and pepper But how it
made you smack your lipsi Our
mouths were watering all the time we
were skinning that savory, smoking
headpiece with our 'frogstickers'
Each man stepped up to the table
and cut OFF a slice with the same
handy weapon. pared off the hard
baked rlnd of a yam, and sat down on
a nearby log to chew and chat
I'VE would shake our heads at each
other and smile in a knowing fashion,
and then shake our heads and smile

Take it altogether, we ate, yes, sir,
we really ate with relish and gusto

RELIsHED A WAR MEAL.
Some of the Straits to Which the Con-
federate Officers Were Reduced.

The veteran, by force of contrast is
often reminded of the many times
during the civil war when the plainest
food had for him zest that no pres
-ent holiday can impart. One of these
veterans, a Tennessee colonel, who
served with Forests cavalry became
reminiscent the other day, says the
New York Post.
"A good dinner was as strange to
our camp as a five-dollar gold piece -
he remarked, as he stroked his gray
beard, land 1 remember well how
eager we were for persimmon time
Then it often happened that we got a
good fat possum out of one of those
trees. We'd skin him and leave him
hung up over night for the frost to
touch him just once. Next day
we'd roast him in the ashes with
plenty of yellow yams SO sugary that
the strip would ooze out of them like
resin out of a pitch pine tree.
Talk about terrapin and canvas
back. Why, man alive, possum and
Eaters is the things that makes you
truly thank God for the space there is
within you. Such sweet meat and
so fat and juicyi And when the last
morsel had gone down, how calm and
contented you feel; how much at
peace with all mankind.
81 reckon the best dinner we had in
our camp was one fall day in "a,
when we were hanging onto the flank
of Sherman'S army as it marched
through Georgia. One of our foraging
parties brought a COW into camp, and
the head fell to my share l had my
man wash and clean it; then 1 set

spots on the SUM- We handed over the
bones and what meat there was left
to poor widow, whose husband died
fighting for the confederacy, and
whose son was also in the army.
fed the roasted skin to my horse, and
he ate it in double-quick time.
This reminds me of favorite story
Gen. Bankhead Magruder used to tell
about a dinner he had while he was
serving in the army of northern Vir-
ginia- That army was not much more
than 10000 strong, reckon, and it had
to do some right sharp work to stand
off three well-fed, well-equipped fed
eral armies, each of them nearly twice
as large Well, one day Magruder
was out accommodating with his staff
in the Shenandoah valley, and he
stumbled across a likely looking plan
tation.
He sent his orderly off on the jump
to present his compliments to the mis-
tress of the mansion and tell her
that he and the officers were powerful
hungry. Would she be kind enough
to give them some dinner? OF course
she sent back word she'd do her best.
Along comes yellow-haired young
soldier right after that, and he tells
her the same thing. 1t seems he was
on his way to join his regiment, and
was covered with dust and looking
tired to death.
My young friend, I'm doing my
best to get up a good dinner for Gen.
Magruder and his staff. Get down and
come in, and if there is anything left
after they get through you shall have
it, said the hospitable lady
1.-THE young chap was hardly out of
his teens, and it happened that he
in Virginia. He dismounted and went
into the house. Just naturally he
knew how affairs were conducted in
the old plantation households, and
when Magruder and his staff arrived
he did some pretty tall scouting
around the dining-room. AS soon as
dinner was announced he marched in
at the head of the procession and took
a seat next to Magruder- The general
looked at him pretty savage for min
ute, and said:
'--Sir, do you know with whom you
are dining?'
g. No, sir; 1 don't Before 1 joined
the army 1 was mighty careful whom
1 ate a meal of victuals with, but now
1 make no distinction whatever
"That settled it. Magruder looked
nettled for a minute, and then burst
out laughing. So did the others, and
the dinner went on with everybody in
high good humor.''

Latest Kansas Events.
Boys and Girls Contest

Plans are now being perfected by
the agricultural college for greater
work with the boys and girls this year
than ever before. The future pro-
sress in agriculture depends upon the
education of the hoys and girls of to-
day. They must De taught early to see
the sense and the profit of scientific
farming and scientific living; must
have awakened in them the "realiza-
ton of the Inherent charm of rightly
managed rural 1ife.'' These contests
and the attendance of the young peo-
pie of the farmers institute will help
to give this awakening and help to in
terest them in farm work and farm life
A circular will be issued within the
next few weeks With complete de-
tails for all contests. 1t will be mailed
to all farmers institute officers, to
all county superintendent of schools,
to all newspapers, and to all others on
request 1t is earnestly hoped that at
least $4,000 young people between the
ages of ten and Is may enter these
several contests.

PIE as whole shall be prosperous
Such general prosperity as may exist
cannot be retained if the institutions
of the already larger and Weather
communities are to continue to be
built up by contributions that should
be spent at home from the thousands
of smaller communities.
The need of the country, a desper-
ate need upon which the welfare of
the individual depends, is for the
upbuilding and continued progress of
the smaller communities, so that the
wealth of the country may be distrib-
uted over the entire country, and not
congested and controlled in large
amounts in a comparative few centers
of population.
Therefore, the man who sends away
from his own community money which
he might have spent at home and per
mitted a fair profit to the home mer-
chant to be retained there for the
benefit of the community, is injuring
his community, and thereby the pros
poets for his own future prosperity.
In large number of instances he is
doing more than this. Unwittingly, or
unthinkingly, perhaps, he is violating
his own principles of right and justice.
IOr, at the expense OF MS own COM
munity, he is needlessly contributing
profits to the capitalistic combinations
which he continuously cries out are
menacing the country.
The mail order giants direct their
energies particularly toward the peo-
pie of the smaller towns and the agri-
cultural districts. In hundreds of
thousands of the homes of these the
catalogue of the mail order house is as
regularly received as the home paper.
The man on the farm last year sent a
very large portion of eighty millions
of dollars to two of these institutions,
in one community, alone.
In all sincerity we ask: Admitting,
purely for the sake of the argument.
that the farmer or the resident of the
small community can save a few dol
lars on some of his purchases, or even
