KELLER HOME BURNS
Caught Fire Friday Evening and
Alarm System Failed to Work,
Delaying Firemen.

The residence at the corner of
Iowa and Sherman streets owned by
Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Kellar and occu-
pied by j. B. Saunders, COZ Iowa
street, was practically totally de-
stroyed by fire Friday evening. The
flames were discovered about $50
O'Clock and an attempt made to turn
in an alarm. The system had gone
on a strike and the alarm was
phoned down town and an attempt to
turn in a call from the city hall
proved that the system was all on the
blink. Luckily the members of hose
company No. l were at their room in
the Pioneer block holding a meet
ing, and they were notified and
pulled the heavy truck to the fire by
hand, but too late to do much except
to save the surrounding buildings.
But few of the contents were saved.
The building was valued at about
$1,000 and was insured for 500 in
the Hartford company, with the Bill
lings agency. The furniture of Mr..
Saunders was valued at $500 to
$1,000 and was insured for $500 in
the Staples agency.

Revival Continues.

The meetings at the Nazarene
church conducted by Rev. C. H. Davis
of Portland VII continue through the
week, every afternoon at 2:3O and
1880 in the evening. The meeting
is owned and blessed of God. Some
have sought and found the Lord and
deep conviction is seen upon others.
Rev. c. H. Davis, the evangelist, is
preaching in the demonstration of
the Spirit, hence his sermons are
mighty and heart searching He is
out and out for God and has an eye
single to His glory, thus he crys aloud
and spares not whether men will hear
or whether they will forbear.
The afternoon services are very
helpful to the Christian and should
be attended by everyone that loves
the Lord and desires to live for Him.
The meetings are being we'll at
tended and we are expecting greater
victory this week than last. Come
out to the feast of good things.

WOULD STOP PRIZE FICH.
Grand Jury Indicts Five for Prepar-
ing for One at Medford Fri
day Night.

frankie Edwards of Medford, local
boxing impressario, Bud Anderson,
Dick Donald, Babe" Picato and
"Rawhide" Kelly were indicted by
the grand jury Thursday afternoon
for arranging prize fight. War
rants have been issued for their ar
rest and they were taken into GUS
tody that afternoon.
The indictments followed a probe
which started Thursday afternoon
when a newspaperman and a fan"
were hailed before the jury and ques-
toned regarding the contests which
had been staged in Medford. Fol-
lowing these witnesses Edwards, An
derson, Donald, Picato and Kelly
were summoned Friday morning.
The indictments were returned this
afternoon
The section of the Oregon law un-
der which the indictments were re-
turned reads as follows:
ANY person or persons arranging
or attempting to arrange, or offer
ing to arrange, or engaging or offer
ing to engage in a prize fight, to be
fought within the limits of this state,
or otherwise, in any manner, either
as principals, second, assistant,
stakeholder, trainer, referee, alder,
abettor, solicitor or agent, whether
said fight shall take place or not,
shall, upon conviction thereof, be i'm
prisoned in the penitentiary not less
than one year nor more than five
years, or by a fine of not less than
$1,000 nor more than $1,000"
The contests which have been ar
ranged previously, as this one, have
been claimed to be boxing contests.
The trial of the parties indicted
was set for Saturday, but Prosecut-
ing Attorney-elect Kelly, who is de-
Tending. asked for continuance un-
til today that he might file a de-
murrer to the indictment. Unless the
demurrer was sustained the trials
were scheduled for today at Jackson
vile.

Birthstones a Fad.

Especially designed for birthday
gifts, and suiting the purpose as
nothing else can, are the new jewels
containing the birthstones of each
month, and now to be had at the
leading jewelry shops.
The persons born in November
have the popular topaz for their
birthstones, and although it comes in
shades of blue, pink, orange and
green, the favorite representative for
November is the topaz of golden yell
low.
Mounted in silver, the topaz Is at
the height of fashion just now, and
the deep yellow of the gem with the
antique setting makes most artistic
combination,
The chrysantehmum, Novembers s
flower, is used in some clever de-
signs, and a necklace OF Finely
wrought silver set with many small
topazes is one of the seasons dainti-
est jewels. The gems carry out a
pattern in chrysanthemum flowers
and foliage, a motif that is used in
the pendant and repeated in smaller
details at intervals on the neckchain.
December, the month of the holly,
has for its birthstones the turquoise
and the lapis lazuli. The beautiful
turquoise, Sarah Bernhardt's favor
ite gem and one that is universally
popular, has disappointing habit of
changing color, so that a brilliant
blue turquoise sometimes turns to a
listless green, and those who find
they cannot wear the gem without
causing it to discolor have in the
deep toned lapic lazuli a worthy sub
stitute. Silver is also used for the
settings in the fashionable jewels
containing December birthstones, but
a fine turquoise mounted IN tinted
gold is always admired.
A beautiful bracelet, heavily
carved and set with three square
shaped stones, and a ring having a
large oval turquoise upright on the
beZel, are both of old gold.
Now that it is the fashion to wear
sets of matching jewels, the fad for
a complete outfit, mounted with the
birthstones, has become extremely
popular. Necklaces, bracelets, rings,
brooches and earrings all containing
the same gem are shown in the shops
while the watch given to the young
son or daughter as birthday gift is
not considered correct unless the
case is enhanced by the recipient S
birthstone.
Pieces other than for personal
adornment are also mounted with the
natal stone; in fact, anything that
may well be gem studded is to be
seen with them; metal desk sets and
toilet articles, besides thimbles and
umbrella and parasol handles, are
set with birthstones, and it has be-
come the vogue for young women to
own as many as possible of these OBJ
jects decorated with their own par
ticular birthstones. These are
gained by degrees, of course, each
succeeding anniversary bringing to
her presents to add to her collection.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
County Judge TOu VelIe Visits Gov
ernOr West to Discuss That
and Road Matters.

Adoption of uniform methods OF
bookkeeping and a modern system.
lzatlon OF county records so that any
taxpayer can find out what every
county is paying for supplies and la
Dor and just what it costs to run the
county was thoroughly discussed by
County Judge-elect F. L. Tou Velle
with Governor West at Salem, Tues
day. Colonel Tou Velle returned
Wednesday bringing assurances OF
the governors cooperation and sup
port in road-building efforts to be
made in southern Oregon. He states:
Governor West has drafted bills
that, if adopted, will save the people
thousands of dollars annually in in
creased efficiency and in public
economies. They call for a uniform
system of accounting, with monthly
detailed reports to the secretary of
state, The secretary will print these
comparative reports, which will be
available to any taxpayer, so that
the financial condition of any coun-
ty and the price it pays for labor
and material will be shown at a
glance, in comparison with amounts
paid by other counties.
THE governor has also prepared
a bill to place counties in classes,
graded according to population,
area and assessed valuation, with
stated salaries for the conduct of
each office. When a county in
creases in wealth and population it
automatically goes into the higher
class, which provides higher pay for
the officials, thus saving the raft of
salary grab bills every session, and
providing equality of pay for work
done in all counties.
Governor West is heartily in
favor of good roads and has prom
ised that he will heartily cooperate
with Jackson county. He thinks the
best way to solve the problem of
road legislation is for the legislature
to pass three of the bills he vetoed,
over the veto, and then amend them
to overcome deficiencies and objec-
tions. Otherwise, he says, the entire
legislative session will be spent in
wrangling between the advocates of
different bills and perhaps no effec-
tive legislation be accomplished.
Il urged the construction of the
Pacific Highway by convict labor, to
begin at both ends of the state, and
the governor promised his hearty CO.
operation"

The Parcels Post.

American Weekly: The new par
GELS post law goes into effect on jan
uary 1, and while far from being all
that the friends of the system hoped
for, is a step in the right direction.
The new law will doubtless be i'm
proved upon from time to time until
the United States is on a par with
European countries in this respect.
The new law permits the mailing
of packages weighing not more than
IL pounds, which must not be more
than ~ inches in length and breadth
combined. Up to four ounces there
will be flat rate of l cent per ounce
or part thereof, regardless of dis
tance.
For packages weighing more than
four ounces the rates vary with the
distance, which the following will ex-
plain:
Rural route and city delivery
First pound cents, each additional
pound l cent.
5O-mile zone-First pound cents,
each additional pound 3 cents.
15O-mile zone-First pound 6
cents, each additional pound 4 cents.
300-mile zone-First pound Z
cents, each additional pound cents.
6OO-mile zone-First pound s
cents, each additional pound cents.
1,000-mile zone-First pound 8
cents, each additional pound cents.
1,400-mile zone-First pound 10
cents, each additional pound cents
1,SOO-mile zone-First pound II
cents, each additional pound 10 cents
Over 1,SO0 miles-First pound 12
cents, each additional pound IL cents.
1t is interesting to compare the
above with the postal rates from
Europe to any part of the United
States, including transportation by
sea, as shown by the following table,
prepared by the Postal Progress
League:
From Norway ....... 2.2 lbs. Ice
From Norway ....... "A lbs. 32c
From Germany ...... "A lbs. 33c
Il rloll lIdly IDS, SIC
From Italy ..........11 lbs. 79c
From Great Britain. III lbs. 79c
From this it will be seen that an
11-pound package, which can be sent
from Rome to San Francisco for 70
cents, will cost from New York to the
same destination 1892, a tremen-
dous discrimination in favor of the
foreigner against our own citizens.
Instances like these will doubtless
do much toward helping along the
cause of the parcels post and eventu-
ally give to this country a system
that will be a real and lasting bene-
fit to both producer and consumer
