Tho largo audience that filled the house was an indication that inter ct was not wanting in school matters by the patrons. , , Mr. F. Vivian, of Columbia City, presented to us last HUuday three small raspberry stnlka, on which wore rasp berries ui all tho dillereut stages of their existence, from the bloom to the well matured raspberry. The stalks were plucked out of Mr. Vivian's gar den that morning, and were much of a curiosity, considering the lateness ol the season December 2nd. Mr. Vivian tells us that ho made no esjwcial effort in selecting such Ktti!ks,-as his raspberry patch presents dozens of similar fruit- latfon biamrhc, and on Thanksgiving Day raspberries and cream were served with the dessert course at their Thanks giving dinner. Until two or three weeks ago Mr. Vivian's folks had great quanti ties of strnwlH-rrics for table ukc, grown in their garden, all of which demon strates that the climate of tho Colombia river valley js favorable to the growth nnd maturity of fruits until almost t'hl Whim tune. Tho bazaar conducted In this city Tuesday and Wednesday evenings by tho Ijidies Uilikl ol tne episcopal church was in every way a success, l'lueo lioulhs were conducted.

The Indies are very thankful to all those who At tended the bamar, and especially grate ful to 1 1 i(i60 who took an interest in making it tho success it proved to be. An alarm of flro turned in from W 117. in the lHth ward, on Wednesday morning was responded to by most of the companies of tho city 1. F. I). The underwriters' patrol having re ceived a still alarm, was wen on tne way to tho scene of tho conllngnitiou before the general alarm went in.' Chemical companies 1. 3 and 8 and hook and ladder company No. arrived at the same time and through the heroic efforts of Chief of tho Clicuiicnl Companies W. A. HurriB, tho services ol tne engine companies were not -needed, although live companies responded to thenjnrm. It is certainiv fortunate that such was the case. Through tho careless manip ulating of the team, driver of No. 8 crashed Into two engines which had ar rived just uhead of iiiui, causing a gen eral pile-up and complete wreck of two of the engines. In tho excitement which prevailed, driver of No. 7 dashed down the street at a tremendous rate of speed, and as ho turned tne corner oi Columbia street he at once saw that a collision with the wrecked engines on the opposite side of tho street was un avoidable, and he leaped for his life, his team and niachino continuing in its frantic pace, joining the other wrecked .....!.:, ...a billitKS two of tllO IllOSt Vlll- llin. - n ---- - liable horses in the department.

The danuigo to tho stock was slight, owing to tho efficiency of tho pntiol sys leni.lmt the building was damaged to tho extent of tho loss of one shingle and tho breaking oil' of tho corner of one brick in the main fluo leading from the hot air furnaces in the basement.

Miss Mario Watts, of Hcsppooae, is as sisting iu tho clerk's office this week. The receipts of tha nomitv elerk'a office for the month of November for recording ices was $205.05. The deputy sheriff on Monday con ducted a snle on foreclosure in tho case of Flora Wanty vs. H. II. Kistneretal. a Tho county having made such eom mcndublo. progress in paying off the debt during tho present year, all the officers are feeling encouraged, and may be almost liko challenging any county in the state to uiuke as good a showing. - Last Batnrday tha-sheriff conducted three snlesof lauds under foreclosure pro ceedings. One of Muckle Bros, vs. the estate of James Flannegan, deceased, and Francis E. Terneban. deceased; one of Elizabeth Hhriins vs. Charles 1'. Bry ant and Inejs M. Bryant: the other of KuTe Wilbur vs. 1'. It. andC.A. Wilbur, The assessor finds no greater Impedi ment to progress in making up the present ownership books thun the fact that many persons. who hold deeds to property in tho county do not file the documents for record. There a number of huge tracts of land in the county that huvo been divided among heirs and deeds made, yet the instruments are not a matter of record. All these onners should be forthwith filed and recorded. . IjiikI redemptions for the month of November proved a very satisfactory source of Income to tho county. We havo explained before the methods em ployed by the officers in makinir these collections. Up to the 18ih of Novem ber there had been $4.10.60 received on account of land redemptions, and for the remaining twelve days of the month there was received $117.00. niakinz a total for tho month of $548.50. As op portunity presents- itself for tho clerks to- devote any time to this work, the mutter is taken dd and cood results always follow. As there seems to be considerable misunderstanding as to the proper man ner for procedure in procuring liountv on wild animals, we have taken the precaution to look tho matter up. The first necessary step is for the person se curing the sculp of the animal on which bounty is pant, is to go to tne justice of the peace in his precinct, or to a notary public, make affidavit and secure a cer tillcato from the administering officer, which certificate is to be presented to the county court. The justice or notary will make and lilo with the county eourt a list of ail scalps presented to him, by whom presented, together with the scalps, with the exception of one ear, which be retains. No scales are to bo destroyed by the administering officer, as all certilicates must tslly with the scalps presented by the histico or no tary. The county clerk will forward the certificate, properly attested, to the secretary of state, who will return a stuto bounty warrant to the person mimed. 'The administering officer re ceives as his compensation 6 per cent of the amount of the bounty. . Speculations and estimates on large flnuncial propositions are wo.tli no more than the breath and time con sumed iu making tltem, but carefully prepared data from the county records Is reliable and trustworthy. Several times within the last few months we havo stated that the debt of the county did not exceed $20,000. That was guess work, based however, on reasonable calculation. Wo aro pre pared now to state tho absolute facte in the caso, having consumed considerable time in going over tho books in the county clerk's office, taking the figures as wo found them there. As tho county treasurer has culled for all outstanding warrunts endorsed prior to January 1st, 18!)!), those warrants are practically paid, because tho cash is on hand w ith which to redeem them. This being tho case, the debt of the county amounts to just tho amount of warrants issued in 1890. The county clerk's register of warrants being more reliable iu. tho matter than tho treasurer's register, for tho reason that many warrants may be issued that havo not been pres ented for endorsement, renders the statement absolutely correct. These figures we find to be $20,170.27, not in eluding the warrants to be issued on the 1st of January next, for officers' salaries for December, which amount will be $184.15, added to the former figures, gives the entire debt of the county on the first day of next January, which will be $20,054.42 principal and about $1000 in terest, tlie total being $21, 054. About $40,000 ot debt has been paid this year. C Tlie prospects for Columbia county paying a, larger amount of state tax this year than last, us we have stated before, are very good. Were this not the case it would be more in reason with sound judgment to presume that a levy for road purposes would be made by the county on tho first of tho year, and of course, it is not certain that such will not bo done. When tho county court made the levy last January, it was nec essary to lower the levy for oounty pur poses 2 mills because tho state levy was raised that much, and which, of course, cheated 'the county out of that amount, because tho entire levy was no greater than in previous years. If it is possible to levy .a tax for road purposes and by doing so not materially raise the levy; wo believe such action should be taken. The law under which proceed ings of this nature will be conducted will revolutionize methods .of collecting road tax. For instance, instead of the siiervisor warning people out to per form two davs work on the highways, tho individual will bo charged up with $2 on tho tax roll, which will be col lected bv the sheriff and turned over to the treasurer, in whose custody it will remain until drawn out only upon a warrant issued direct noon the road fund, under which name all moneys so collected shall bo known. Good roads Vie nc such an important motor in tno development nnd progression of a county or community, wo believe any plan which promises improvement over tne prosent method of road making would be welcomed bv a majority of tlie peo l . v know' that the present method is almost worthless, and if some inno vation is indulged in wnicn, ntter trim, ((..velnns no better results, we could easily enough return to the old plan. But certainly anything would be better than the method now in vogue. The plan of paving $2 into the treasury in stead of working two days on tho roads is certainly n aim for better things, which it is to be hoped will be adopted us soon as it practicably can be. My son has been troubled for years with chronic diarrhoea. Some time ago I persuaded him to take some of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Kemedy.

Twenty-five Years' Constant Use Without a Failure. The first-indication of croup is hoarse ness, and in a child subject to that dis ease it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an attack. Following this hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after tlie croupy cough appears.it will prevent tin attack. It is usea in many inousanus oi pomes in this broad hind, and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We havo yet to learn of s single instance in which it has not proved effectual. No other preparation can show such a record twenty-five vears constant nse without a failure. For sulo by Dr. Edwin Rosa. ritOVOSALS INVITED.
