OREGON CITV COURIER FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2 1906,
MT. PLEASANT.
While Mr. May, a wood-hopper,
was
woiVInd around his camp one day last
Wtfk, Ins C8bm caught hreanri burned
to Mie ground, and the contents would
have been destroyed but for iho timely
ass stance of Charley White and Carl
Sc!;( nclf, who were cutting wood
nenrhy.l
1 '(trims Hillen has taken the con
tact to4cut 20 cords of wood on the
Be'Tist-jpluee.
Dave ifancher took a Sunday dinner
Wil li his old friend, Mr. Corbett, near
Cmiby :
i is Kaid that Mr. Helton lias snb
Jei:neii tie Shipp place of Mr. Cain.
The latter expects to mov to Klamath
or Lake county and, by the way, tint
82'). COO county high school in Klamath
is an attraction for any investor and
Ohickamas could lose nothing by fol
lowing suit. .
Two boys, Lonie Zniderduiu and
Young Fink are in trouble over the
allrigod theft of a knife and some other
trinkets from a house in the absence
of the owner, Mr. Cellan. They
think they can prove an alibi, as they
woii' in Oregon City at the tune and
th knife found n 'heir possession is
a new one that they got a a hardware
stt.ro in Oregou City in exchaiigo fur
a gem.
Leonard Zuiderduin will move soon
to KiiBtern Oregon. He is a brother
of the accused and has a good name in
the community having been steady at
hin work and always sober.
I'rayer meeting was held at Roueus'
on night last week.
Charley Holmes lias a sick horse.
Mr. O. A, Reese and family started
for Coos Oountv Mnndnv. where Mr.
Be 'se has leased a farm, and nis
daughter, Vida, has the promise ot n
school as assistant ii.stuctor. Missi
Beese was 14 in November and if she
gpis the school she will be the young
est teacher without doubt in the state
As Mr. Reese and family were about
to 'lepart for Coos oounfy, ti:e story
of I he Valencia disaster, at sea came
up for disoussion and J, Sterling Mc-
Cord grew reminiscent and told ff
previous disasters back In the early
'ISO's. In one notable crsb, "Brother
Jonathan, " in '65, General Wright, a
civil war soldier of great proniinenoe,
lost hiB life; also the family of a
Connecticut man who was in Oregon
City setting tp the machinery of the
worlenmill. He nearly went crazy
in consequence, At that time there
were many notables in Orngon City
from the East, on a speech-making
tour, among them Vice-President
Schuyler Coltax and Gen. James Wil
son, of Iowa. Colfax was in the
heighth of his glory then and as pop
ular an Rtosuvolt is today, but he
wont down in the Credit Mohilier in
vesl igatiou and was never afterward
discussfid. Senator Wilson acknowl
edged the corn and . said ho didn't
know it was loaded and the publio
forgave him, as it did Garfield and
r'stored him to favor. Another noted
man from New Hampshire who was
with the party at Oregon City denied
the charge and went down with Col
fax. Snmo of our present day Oregon
politic atis might stand a better show
01 election if they'd Own np honest
Injnn that they did it with their little
hatchot.
While travelling ' in eastern New
York a score of years or more ago Mr.
0. A. KuoH'.t was for some weiks the
traveling companion of a collection
hunter, who had among his curios an
incieut hymn book. On the fly leaf
of this book Betsey Moss, the heroine
ot the lines below had at the age of
1 0 inscribed her autograph. The
story of hur life was vouched for by
many old residents of the Hudson
valley and M-. Reese, having the de
fails in his mind for tweuty-t wo years,
has been inspired to do the old lady
p ietio justice in the Courier as fol

Assisting him ith cheering word,
To keep the foe at bay.
At last he fell opon'the fields
As the son sank from view,
But Betsey not an inch would yield,
But proved her courage true.
As poor Moss foil, she grasped his gun
And provel that she could fight .
Until Hie viotory was won,
And day had turned to night.
Then her strength failed, she sank to
earth,
And there among the dead,
A littlo stranger had its birth,
The falling leaves its bed.
Strong was the heart of Betsy Moss,
Strong her maternal love,
And though, she keenly felt her loss,
She knew that she must move.
To save her baby and herself
She crent fn rhn ahnrn .
Of Hudson's river with harself
The miles were twenty-four.
Kind friends she found when Bhe got
mere,
Who welcomed hi r and child,
auq gave tnem needed rood and oare,
Ana lorcuue on them smiled.
Brave Betsy lived a hundred years
And died in New York state.
At pea-e with God and without fears,
in eighteen hrty-eight.
And I who carre upon the earth,
That Belf-same year, arise,
To chronicle Old Betsy's worth
And laud her to the skies.
With Molly I-itoher she should live
In history, though few.
nave known her well enough to give
urecut to whom it a due.
She had no witnosses to spread
The news of what she'd done,
And lived and died unheralded
And to the world unkonwn.
To tell the tale as told to me
By the old lady's friends,
And plice her name in history
Is where my mission ends.

The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which haa beeu

Prominent men lrom all parts of the
country are indorsing Vinol, and
strong testimonial letters from four
ministers of the gospel and several
physicians have been received within
a weok. Such unsolicited testimnny
as this is the best proof of merit any
medicine can have.
The Rev. George W. Roland of
Keene N. H., writes: "I have used
yonr ood liver ril preparation, Vinol,
as a tonic, and I do not believe there
is anv other medicine that can equal
it. It built me up and strengthened
me when run down and overworked.
Vinol has done for me more than was
claimed for it. "
"We honestly believe there is no
other remedy or cod liver oil prepara
tion known to medicine that has the
healing, strengthening power which
Viuol has, and if it fails to create
strength and health for run-down,
aetii mated people, old people, weak,
sickly women and children, nursing
mothers and after a severe siokness,
or if i t fails to cure a hacking cough,
chronio cold, throat or bronchial
trouble, or to make those A'ho are thin

One Woman's Experience
" Before I commenced taking your Rexall Tablets, I was troubled with terrible
I pains in my stomach, and I would use boiling hot water for relief. It would some
times give relief, but it was not permanent. There were certain things I could not
eat. Aft taking three boxes of Rexall I began to pick up, and now I feel all
right. I haven't been so well for years as 1 am now, I would advise all who are
troubled with dyspepsia to try Rexall Tablets. Mhs. W. F. Waidxk, 4

TRAMP SAVES A TRAIN.
Broken Rail Discovered in
Prevent Wreck.
Time to
Discovering a broken rail, probably
resulting from the passing of a 'heavy
freight train, a tramp gave timely
warning Monday that saved the north
bound Eugene local from being
wrocKed hetween Uauby and Barlow.
it is more than likely that the train
would have been derailed, but the
tramp ran down the traok and flagged
the approaching train within a few
root 01 r.ne damaged rail, which was
situated m a ourve of the traok about
midway between Canbv and Barlow
The broken steel was the outer rail of
the track, and because of the curve it
would have been impossible for the
ingiueer to have stopped his train in
time to avoid a wreck.
Old Cases Settled.
The suits arising out of the troubles
between Charles A. Reese and John
M. Olds have been settled and diS'
missed. Olds paid the judgment that
was secured in one of the oivil oases
and the costs, and all accruing costs
u connection with all of these cases
that were decided against him. Reese
was the plaintiff in two civil suits
against Olds, and brought two crim
inal actions, only one of which went
to trial.

Molalla avenue, caught fire between
12 and 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

Common Colds Are the Cause of Many
Serious Diseases.
Physicians who have gained a na
tional reputation as analysis of the
cause of arions diseases, claim that
if catching cold could be avoided
a long list of dangerous ailments
would never be heard of. Every one
knows that pneumonia and consump
tion originate from a cold, and chronic
catarrh, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung trouble are aggravated and rend
ered mora serious by each fresh attack.
