"Mosey is easy,'" is the report
which comes from New York,
There are lota of people who do not
find it so.
Russell Sack denies that he is
scheming to bid in the Union Pa
cific. He'd be likely to tell about
it in advance, if it were he.
Neal Dow lea $350,000 and 'no
will; which will drive a lot of Maine
lawyers to just what Dow was trying
to keep them away from driuk.
The Roseburg district fair paid
eighty per cent on premiums and
seventy, per cent on expense ac-
' counts. The Medford fair paid one
hundred per cent even up.
Japan is now reported to have
come into hearty accord with Ha
waii. Nothing like having a big
brother in the sear background to
secure fair treatment for the little
A Missouri preacher puts it this
way to bis congregation : "When
I look at my congregation I ask,
Where are the poor? and when I
count the collection I aek, Where
are the rich?"
The battleship Texas is once
' more in trouble, Wouldn't it be
cheaper to put this unlucky craft
carefully away somewhere in a glass
case or why not make her a pres
ent, say, to Spain?
The new Canadian postage stamp
bears a portrait of the queen at her
coronation, with maple leaves, em
blematic of Canada, in the corners.
Canada seems to be aspiring to be
called Greater England.
A woman at Sioux Falls, Iowa,
was recently adjudged insane be
cause she said she was going to
marry an editor. No other evidence
was deemed necessary except that
she was foolish as well as demented.
The duty, collected on the per
sonal baggage of passengers return
ing from Europe during the month
of August, in excess of $100 each,
amounted to $46,892. . This shows
the extent to which foreign clothing
has been imported in this way.
liUETGERT is said not to be favor
ably impressed with the idea of pos
ing in a museum, fearing that it
might injure bis business standing.
The fact that a good many people
will probably always believe that
' he murdered his wife and boiled her
bones to nothingness is apparently
not thought to cut any figure.
If the late dispatch from Ha
vana be true, its effect being that
out of 2500 people whom Weyler
penned up at Cascapeba all but five
died of starvation, there certainly
seems some reason to believe that
"the butcher" might, in time, have
' 'pacified" the island. An uninhab
ited desert should be peaceful.
Editor Dana's peculiarities were
with him even unto death. One of
his final requests was that no long
obituary be published in the New
York Sun after his death, ana in
accordance with that request the
onlv announcement the Sun has
made is the following:
"Charles Anderson Dana, editor
ofj the Sun, died yesterday after-.
noon." ' i-
Once in a very great while not
often someone will complaia of
sudden Oregon climatlo changed in
the almost nlvrnys unruffled temper
ature of Southern Oregon, but when
compared with other localities there
is not a shadow of a ohanae for ub,
In Chicago, a couple of weeks ago
a man died of sunstroke and the
driver of the hearso next day wore
a fur coat and mittens.
As evidence of how a little econ
omy, even though forced, will fix a
fellow is Bhown in the following :
H. II. Rose, who was sentenced to
the Minnesota state prison for life
tome twenty-two years ago and
recently pardonod by the state board ,
saved up $930 while in prison and
received a draft for that amount
last week. Ilia earnings in prison
were eight and ten cents per day.
The production of wine in Cali
fornia from the grain) crop of this
year is expected to reach twenty
million gallons. This would fur
nish a quart apiece for everybody in
this country, and leavo a small re
mainder for pionic occasions. The
wine industry is now firmly estab
lished in California and the prod'
uct compares favorably with the
better quality of wines imported
from Europe. Good wines are also
produced iu Jackson County, al
most equal to any in California.
XSewspaiek8 are to be used as
text books in Kansas City schools,
and it's a good scheme and should
be generally adopted but great care
should be used in selecting only
such journals as tend to elevate the
child mind and which give the
news terselv and honestly. And
in each of these papers should be
preached a short sermon condemna
tory to the student who imagines
he is honoring the class colors by
wearing them while in reality he
dishonors himself, his class and the
whole school by smoking cigarettes
while wearing the colors.
Beets and Beats.
"Thts office Is In receipt ol seventeen analy
ses ol sugar beets." Medlord (Ore.) Mall.
"An analysis of the bent who boats
the printer would be interesting. And
what a labor of lore It would be for the
printer, too." Fargo (North Dakota)
Daily Argus.
That's quite right, friend Jordan, but
the beats which grow In the printer's
subscription book ordinarily and the
beets which are of eugar quality and
grow in Southern Oregon soil, are of
vastly a different, composite and the
analysis of one would be either a com
pliment or a disgrace to the other
which would depend upon the one being
analyzed. The Mail has but fow beats
on its list of 1900 subscribers, but South
ern Oregon is full of beets and thou
sand of acres of soil capable of growing
more of them.

Notwithstanding the fact that
winter is rapidly coming, some
people can't abandon the habit of
rushing the growler to excess.
Timid people should scarcely be
blamed for being nervous over the

men haunted with visions of the

A St. Louis woman offers $-1000
for a husband. We do not think
she will have to put her advertise
ment in the paper a second timo.
Still, there are women that a fellow
would not care to marry even for
that amount.
A Welsh paper savs that Prof. J.
Morris Jones bride is a native of
Lianfairpwilgwingyllgertrwpllgoge
rbwllantysilliogogoch. Prof. Jones
is probably an attractive man but
to a maiden of Li. etc., one of his
greatest charms must have been
his name.
A young German at Berlin, on
Monday attempted, with bis sweet
heart's consent, to establish a kiss
ing record of 10,000 kisses iu ten
hours. They -scored 3750 in the
third hour, when their lips became
paralyzed and both were rendered
unconscious. -
A newspaper mah is to succeed a
newspaper man. as postmaster of
Corvallis. Perhaps that is to be
the administration policy. Already
considerable preference has been
shown the fraternity. Well, don't
they deserve some notice, and then
they are often capable fellows.'
Railroad ' Commissioner Eddy,
who also edits the Roeeburg Plain
dealer, in his plea for harmony, re
marks: "Let ub confess our sins
and take a fresh start," Of course,
an "esteemed contemporary" wants
to know why he is anxious to con
fess at all, if he proposes to take a
fresh start a-sinning.
Governor Taylor, of Tennessee,
in a speecn on "Irish Day" at the
exposition, said: "If I were a sculp
tor l would chisel from the marble
my ideal of a hero. I would make
it the figure of an Irishman sacrific
ing his hopes and his life on the
altar of his country, and I would
carve on its pedestal the name of
Emmet."
A 70-year-old man in Coburg,
Canada, kissed his niece against
her will. The indignant woman at
once commenced sun lor $z,uoo
damages. At the trial of the cause
she was awarded 2U cents. It is
probable that Canadian, courts
would ordinarily estimate the value
of a kiss at a much higher rate than
a couple cf dimes, and that a large
reduction was made in this case on
account of the near relationship of
the parties.
Her young man dropped dead
just before the wedding day; the
sudden shock killed her mother;
her sister died on her way to the
funeral, and her brother then com'
mitted suicide. These troubles un
set a London young woman, and
she tried to drown herself. The
magistrate before whom she was
brought, however, told her that ''she
had allowed herself to get into a
very morbid state," and had actod
very foolishly and childishly.
An enthusiastic church member
of Philadelphia hasiustcontributed
$1 to tho church on his birthday,
pledging himself to double the
amount on each annivorsary of his
birth for the rest of his life. If he
keeps his plcdgo and livos long
enough the church will have plenty
of money, for the amount of his of
fering on his birthday twenty-five
years hence will be something over
$16,000,000.
For several years the farmers of
South Dakota have been growing
very poor crops and receiving cor-
reapondingly low prices for what
they grow. 1 his year tilings wero
changed and a local paper gives
the following as the. first meal or
dered and uaton in a restaurant by u
farmer after he had sold his (list
loud of grain: Two plates of emi
sago, ono loaf of bread, night largo
baked potatoes, three plates of corn
broad, two dishes of utiuuo, seven
ou ps of coffee, two dishes of salad
and half an apple pie.
A muchine has been Invented for
registering letters and in now being
put to a practical test by the gov
ernment. II works on tho Blot prin
ciple. Tho person desiring to regis
ter a letter drops the necessary coin
in tho slot, pushes a lever and the
machine does the rest, even to
bunding him out a receipt. This
remarkable mnchaulHin cun bo set
up anywhere like a letter box and
the business of the registry depart
ment can bo carried on night and
day without tho attention of any
clerks excepting such as are needed
to make up the records when the
letters are collected and taken to
the office.
