BY HIS NIBS. ' .. About this rich agricultural and Jheavily tinibered land so many are anxious to acquire: Owing ,to -an erroneous statement in the Ore gonian as to the boundary of the recent timber reserve, it was though! this section was withdrawn from settlement. The land officers at Roseburg tell Irving McCall (oflfi cially) they will accept filings, under the Stone Act, on tiniboi land in townships 31, ranees 2 and 3 east; and of course such land.- may be homesteaded if any desirf to make a residence thereon. The south line of.these tvo townships is five miles from the town of Pros pect. To those who are thinking of using their rights oi taking gov ernment land, and are held back by thinking they will be isolated by coming here, we will say what advantages .of civilization we have: In the first place, after you cross Jlogue river at the falls, a level road; no more mountains till the summit; a big reward will be paid to the person finding a speck of mud on this road. The best insti tution we have, however, is a good school, and have been very fortunate in securing the services of a good teacher. Miss E. L. Benson has taught our school for two years, and has been engaged for the coming year. . The young lady uses all the modern charts and helps ia school work, and teaches music and draw ing in the school besides the studies required. Then we have a store, always well stocked with groceries, notions, etc., and if you desire any thing more than is kept in a gen eral store, Mr. Aiken makes weekly trips to Medford and all valley towns and will bring you any . arti cle to be had, he is accommodat ing. The mail (U. S.) conies twice a week to the postofflce The Med ford Mail once a week, with all the news. We have as good a hotel building as can be found. Mrs. BoQthby presides over the culinarv department herself and takes pride in putting before the public tempt ing dishes, 1 he old style of hospi tality we like so well is dispensed at the Boothby House, and those stopping for a meal want to stay a week. Prospect has a saw-mill- all the-clear sugar pine lumber you want. We also have a blacksmith and general shop. Mr. S. Aiken keeps a feed stable, large and full hay, grain and feed of all kin for stock. Everybody knows of our many natural advantages, so we will not mention them; but we have.everything the human heart craves. ETJESKA ! Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Graphic, Texarkana, Arkansas, has found what he believes to be the b;?st remedy in existence for the flux. His experience is well worth renu'inberin:. He savs: '"Last summer I tad a very severe attick of Dux. I tried alicost every ktown remedy, none girinsr re lief. Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy -was recommend ed to me. I purchased a bottle and re ceived almost immediate jjelief. I continued to use the medicine und wss entirely cured. I tak pleasure in recommending this remedy to cny per son suffering: with such a disease, as in my opinion it is the best medicine in existence." 25 and 80 cent bottles foi by G. H. Haskins, druggist. Most Inhuman Treatment. From The Dalles Chronicle. County Judge Blakeley and Dr. Logan this morning examined Mrs. Clara Neely as to ber sanity. This is the lady mentioned by us yester day, our informant, getting the name wrong on account of Mr. Wishart and his wife bringing the unfortunate womnn to Hood river from her home. She will be eent to the asylum, and it is expected that a speedy recovery will result. 1 Her husband is working somewhere in the harvest fields east of here, and had left his wife with his par ents. He had also made arrange ments for her to get such groceries as she needed from the store of Osc.r Fredenburg, but these, it seems from the statement of wit nesses, her father-in-law refused to let her purchase. . She has hud nothing to eat but bread and water for the past month, and is extreme ly weak and emaciated. " Her babv is, in consequence, also starved, and no larger than when born. It was pitiful to see her try to nurse her babv as she eat m the court room, pressing it with her skeleton hands against her and breast, i he blame lies wtth. those who, if they failed to recognise the ties of rela tionship, should' have remembered that they were human, and she a mother. Her insanity is of a mild type, though she is suicidal in her ideas. Her father is in the asylum, and perhaps brooding over that, and the fear that the taint might be in her, together with lack of nourish ment aud ill-treatment, unbalanced her mind- . Two Lives Saved. Mra. Phoebe -Thomas, of Junction City,'IH., was told by her doctors she had Consumption and thut there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery pornpletely cured her and she says itsved her life. Mr. Tho3. Eggers, 139 Florida St., San FYahcisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption, tried witnont result everytning else men bought one bottle of pr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is patuaally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colds.

Through the noticed of our camp, pub lished in Thk Mail, many have learned that this district has sterling merit. Henry E.

Mr.Jncltson leaves soon tor Beaver crock, California, where ha has raining interests. We shall .miss Jolly "Old Jacksou" sorely. . B. E.

We hope that now arrange ments wilt not require their going from our set tlcment, as no two men ia tho camp would be more sadly missed. Burt Fergus and Pete Dovlln passed down yesterday from a hunting trip to Whisky Peak. They killed three bears, one horse, und caught seventeen fish more than the biggest liar in Jacksonville. The horse was staked out. and became frightened at a bear. He broke away, dragging the rope and stake, and went down tho mountain as though the d was after him. Tho stake caught between two trees and the poor horse went to the end of tho rope. where he stopped short never to go again. A broken leg, a broken shoulder, three broken ribs, end two broken hunters, was tho result of the collision. The horse was borrowed, aud the boys are men, therefore the owner will bo satis fied if it takes their last bean. Live horses are worth about fifty dollars a dozen but dead horses, like dead men, by Lhe involuntary act of dying, suddenly acquire u world of virtues thut remained hidden through a lous unprofitable life-time.

Miss Lulu Newton, of Central Point, Is visit fag friends here, this week. J. K. Moore, of Sams volley, was doing busi cess in this section Tuesday. John Hays and Charlie Martin, of Gold Ilill, were here Friday, looking for stray cattle. Mrs. I.irrle Miller returned to her home Mon day, arter a visit of several weeks at Central PoaiL. Sardine seems to be a booming little place. All 'tis lacking Is a school, but thcrts is consid erable talk of having it set off as a district by itself. i It has been some time since there has been wedding on Sardine ank, but the wedding ceils will ring with a double accent la the near future.

She says: 4-I spent several weeks in Jobrstuwn. Pa., after the great flood, on account of tnv husband being emoloved there. We had sever al children with us. two of whom took the diarrhoea very badly. I got some of Cbambtrliun's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Kennedy from Rev. !r. Chap man. It cured both of tbem.

Ia large cities tho men. in spito of their filthy work, aro proverbially healthy. Mr. Laws, a chemist, who has been employed in spe cial investigations ia tho sewers by tho London city cxmECiI, has proved in a huge report that sever gas is all but in nocent of distributing bacteria of any kind, and certainly not those which aro pathogenic. The Eewago contains mi crobes of various kinds ia abundance, but the gas itself is much freer from these dreaded organisms than tho out er air of tho street Of all this he gives most convincing proof, and so challenges tho theories which lay to the account of sower gas a train of horrible ravages on health. This is a startling revelation and suggests that fresh in quiry is needed into the real causes of bo ranch illness traceable to drains and feral odors. San Francisco Call, Storms on tho Snn. The velocity with which solar storms move is very great, ana taey sometimes extend over a cpace several times as largo' as tho vrholo of tho earth's sur face. '11 common parlance they are called "sun spots," but; ns they ore known to havo a rotary motion exactly similar (o terrestrial cyclones they may ho regarded as true Eolar storms. It has been computed by eminent astronomers that theso snn storms move with tho astonishing volocity of 120 niilos por second, and yre can best fori a im oda quate conception cf 'what tho forco of such a storm must bo by comparing it to an,carth storm moving at- I0Q- miles an hour, which is indeed a terrible hur ricane. Carlington Hodgson, the English astronomers, dcacriba a sun storm which traveled ijS.ODO miles in flvo minutes,' and in 1871 Professor Young of Cincinnati witnessed ono that traveled 100 miles per second for 45 minutes and constantly throw sheets of flame and fiery mattor to hoight of not less than SOO, 000 miles abovo the sun's disturbed -curf ace! St, Louis Re FARM AND FRUIT NOTES. From the Rural Northwest. . Full reports have not been re ceived from any of the cars of peach plums shipped east from Oregon, but the telegraphic reports show that .there was no -profit made on any .of them even those sent from The Dalles. More particulars will be given in our next issue. Weasels were imported into New Zealand to dest roy rabbits. Several protests w.ere made at the time but ',they were unheeded. Kow the wea sels have become a veritable pest themselves. They not only make poultry raising unprofitable but even kill a large number of lambs. The price.of corn is about as much higher than usual at Chicago as that of wheat is lower. It can not be ex peted that corn will sell for a higher price than wheat for any great length of time, for wheat is worth rather more than corn for feed, per bushel. The indications are favor able for a gradual advance in the price of wheat. The following varieties of plums can be shipped fresh from the west ern portion of Oregon and Washing ton to eastern markets: Italian prune, Hungarian prune (Pond's Seedling), Yellow E.cg and tho Sil ver prune (Cue's Golden Drop). The hitter variety does not ripen up so well as tho others when packed at the proper ge for shipment. Some other varieties can be safely shipped but the foregoing are the leading varieties. The Italian and Hungarian are considered the best shippers of any varieties grown here. One of the prominent newspapers of Oregon cheerfully informs its farmer renders that wheat is worth a dollar a bushel to feed to hogs. The paper in question is a very good newspaper but its advice to farmers 0:1 agricultural topics is not always strictly relinlie. An aver age gain of one pound in live weight for five pounds of wheat is alout as much as can be expected in feeding hogs. Live hogs are now worth 4 cents ner r.outid in Portland and probably about 3J cents at points up the Willamette valley. The actual value of wheat for feeding is about 40 cents per bushel at the present time in the Willamette val lev.

If cror sua wcro rrmovci to the pleiadcs, it weald hardry I visielo in an opera glass, wish which nearly 100 stars caa bo seen in tho cluster. Sixty or 70 piciades surpass oar ecu ia bril liancy, Alcyone being l.OCO times moro brilliant, Elcctra nc:ir!y 500 times and Maia nearly 400. "Sirius itself takes a subordinate rank when compared with tho five raost brilliaat members cf a fronp, tho real magnificence of which wo caa thus in seme degree apprehend." U we seek to know tho cUnieirsious, not of tho individual stars, but of tha clus ter itself, wo aro met with many diQ calties, but on tho assumption that it is approximately spherical in shape wo can calculate its diameter to bo over 40,000,000,000 miles, so that light would take seven years to pore from ona extreme to tho other. If we think of tho dimensions of our polar system by thcra Eclves or in relatiou to terrestrial Clat ters, they appear st upendoasly enormous. Neptune, tho most distant known member, has aa orbit over 6, 000, 000, 000 miles across a distance that a rr.y of light would travel iu 7 3v hours but tho solar system is to the pleiadcs but as a Lilliputiou to a Brobdinguagiau is bnt as a microlio to a mountain, for a sphero tho size of tho solar system would, if it wcro spherical ar.d its diameter that of tho orbit of Neptune, bo relatively so miuuto that it could bo contained mere than 400, 000, COO, COO timts in a sphere tho size of tho piciades ia other words, tho limits of tho piciades could contain 150 solar eystcmB as many times over as there aro miles between Neptune and the sun. It must not ba forgotten that, al though thcro aro 2,300 stars in tho clus ter, yet with such dimensions for tho entire group vast distances must sepa rata tbo stars from ono tmothcr. Ia fact, 8,800 spheres, each with a diameter cf 3,000,000,000 miles, could bo contained in the limits assigned to tho group, and, assuming equal distribution of tho stars in tho group each would bo at tho cen ter of a sphere 3,000,000,000 ' miles across, and thexeforo a light journey of 187 days from -its uoarost neighbor.

Nineteenth Ccn- OIQNG, LIVE FOliEVER SO SAID HIS SUBJECTS, AND THE KING BEGAN TO DO IT. Secrets or Longevity YHilch Will EnaUa Common Men to Follow tho Example of the Monarch Mr. William Klnncar's Dietary Doctrine. "And they said, 'O king, livo fcr tverl' Whorcnpou the king immediately fcogaa to live forever. " This fragment of history, preserved in tho chorus of a college song, used to bo regarded iu earlier days rather as a singular instance of royal condescension than as encour agiug any personal efforts at immortal ity. In one of Mr. Andrew Lang's sto ries a young Oxouiau, when coul'routud with a gaostly couch aud six, tried to reassure hiiasulf by the reflection that a ghost would hardly put himself to all this trouble and expouso for a nicro un dergraduate. A11 undergraduates are not giftod with tho same praiseworthy humility, but without auy uudr.o dilli deuce most of us tacitly felt that tho honors of immortality were probably be yond our reach. However, for this later and moro fortunate generation ilr. Wil liam Kiuuear has cotuo to the rescue, it scorns that he hadljeen maturing a little pluu f or living 2C0 years ia average good health. : The announcement is attractive, but wo must confess that, ou investigation, it seems to us full of disappointment It js possiblo that Mr. Kiauear's method of life may promote good health, but so far as comfort is concerned it fails dis mally. This is an objection common to uearly every system which aims at mak ing uiau something moro than hntnan. The element of asceticism ia our nature is almost as strong as our selfishness. In every ego thcro havo been peoplo who cherish the couviction that they can bat attain spiritual excellence by making themsolvca mcdlessly uucomfortable. Mr. Kiniaear is comparatively modcr ato ia his promises, bat his regime, like tho rest of them, is branded with tho curso of discomfort. It seems that the chief enemies to totality aro the air we breathe, tho -water wo drink and the bread and meat we eat, all of which ap parently conspiro to form earthly de posits of a gelatinous and fibrinous char acter in our auiortancto system. Theso deposits, which mostly consist of carbo uato and phosphato of lime, interfere with tho physical functions generally, and in particular impede tho proper re pair of tissue. Moreover, it is to their constant and increasing presence that the stiff uess aad dryness characteristic of senility aro due Henco if wo wish to prolong life aad overt, ia part at aay rate, tho ia coavcuiciiccs of eld ago we should min imize tut) earthly deposits. Unfortu nately wo cannot dispense entirely with air, wattr and food, bat wo can combat tho mischievous effect of atmospheric oxygen l-y tho u.s of phofjihorio acid. Ey drinking distilled water only wo es cape tho calcareous salts which ordinary wattr would deposit i:i our tissues, and by avoiding everything fit to cat wo may render oar daily food coa'xxirativcly ianocuons. Pructie;ii:y his rcj;uiuer;l atious couic to this: Abstain from bread, meat aad nitrogenous food gen erally aad live upon apples and distilled water flavored with phosphoric acid. Scch a mean is a hih price to pay for longevity, cad after aa orgie con ducted oa theso lines for two centuries tho proselyte, woald probably be able to givo en emphatic cuswer to the ques tion, "Is lifo worth living?" The raoa otoay of the regime is aloao saGeieut to mate t lustasttTul, tot tae oijectioas to it Mriko somewhat deeper -than this. Nitrogen possesses to a peculiar extent tho power of holding other chemical substances it; combination. This is at once tho causa cf tho stability, as it is called, cf nitrogen compounds and of tho tr-?.ne.Edoas powt-r which many of them displav. Nitroncu enters largely into tho composition of muscular tissue ; or flesh and thereby becomes the chief source of physical energy. To diminish tho supply of nitrogen as Mr. Kinncar proposes would almost inevitably pro duce a chronic lassitude. Nor is this t'.ia only danger, for the patient (this really seems tho most nppropriato word), cut off from bis usual uitrogeuoous diet, would bo tempted to supply the want by a larger consumption of tho vege table foods left open to him aad thereby to overcharge his system with carbon. A dietary doctrine which proclaims that "in tho necessary elements of nu trition lurk tho enemies of lifo" may fairly bo regarded with preliminary sus picion. Cut even with tliis proposi tion accepted it is sorely fatal to Mr. Kinncar 's claim that to follow bis sys tem is to live according to nature in the highest and finost sense. If nature ju diciously doctors our necessary foods with slow poison, it is clear that sho cannot intend us to cumber the earth too long. If sho does not Mr. Kinucar's theory collapses. Eat whether bis diag nosis bo right or wrong it seems fairly clear tuat nature docs not look Vith fa vor on au abnormal length of life. Ac cording to Professor Weissnian nature only faveirs tho survival of tho indivi dual so far as it is necessary to provide for tho perpetuation of the species. Tha moment this point is passed the forces of untnro tarn against him. Tho species can probably take care of itself physio logically without any persuasion on our part, but tho social and political incon veniences which attend any wido sno ccss of Mr. Kinucar's system cannot be contemplated without dismay. These aro scfttcieutly obvious to any unpreju diced mind and form far too delicato ft topio for discussion here. On 0110 point, bovcvcr, wo must confess to what wo trust is a pardonable curiosity, How Old Is Mr. William Kinncar? London World.

An AgK& Jtuu's Vain Errand In B Stw York l'awnrtiey. , .- In a Bowery pawnshop a man shuf fled up to ouo of the clerks with a big bundle which he wanted to pawn. The man was old aud decrepit His hair and beard were long, whilo and unkempt. His clothes were ragged us tho wrap pings of his bundle. He laid the bundle down on tho counter, palled off the wrappings and displayed a Biblo of what Is known as the "family" sort It had large, heavy covers stumped in gilt and looked as if it might ho illustrated with full pago steel engravings. "What'U you give me on that?" said ho to tho clerk. "Nothing," replied tho clerk, with the most discouraging accent imagina ble and apparently without even a glance at the Bible. "Oh,, yes, you will," eaid tho old man. "Pleass givo ma something. " "No," answered tho clerk, "not a cent." "But I've got to havo it," pleaded tho old man. "I haven't had anything to cat today. Givo mo 50 cents." "Nothing to drink, you mean," said tho clerk, with another glanca at tho trembling old man. "I woa't give you anything. Wo don't take Biblea any way." Tho clerk turned to talk to a man who wanted to pawn a ring. The old man hesitated a minute and then re newed his effort. "Well, give rao 5 cents then," ho said. "I've had more than that on this before.' "Not hero," answered tho clerk. "I tell yoa wo don't tako Bibles. Go on, now." Tho old nan gathered up his Bible and Ehufiled away. Tho man who was pawning the ring looked on with evident interest Ho was thinking of the many stories ho had heard of men who would pawn tho family Biblo for drink money and reflecting that hers was a pawn broker whoso heart wa3 cot as stony as tradition makes believe, who hod some taint of sciitinvent, if not of reverence, left in him. "Ls that a rule of tho house?" ho said to tho clerk who was making oat the ticket "What?" asked the clerk. "That yon don't tako Bibles. " "No," with a laugh. "That was just a bluff. We take anything. But that Biblo was worn out an wasn't worth a cent " New York San. LEADING PAPER! THK CHKON'UXK ntuks with Vb imtql BrwTcr In lh I'aitvd StsX. ' THE CHUONU1.K bu oa)aaIoa th Pmcitie cow.
