Mr Young has a valuable cremona violin over 200 years old, a genuine work of art, that was presented to him by the Northern Pacific railroad in whose em ploy he was an agent for many year. All were happily surprised at Mr. Young' ability with the bow, and wondered that his modesty had kept him silent so long. Another Pioneer I'snmciI on. The roiiimuiilly at Ilutte Creek lost a very worthy citizen by the death of William Allen Jnck, which occurred r.Uuuiy 10, JHH5, ut hi h.me near MHrrpmm, ('liiikmiiHS county, Oregon. Mr. Jack had been feeble for several year and hi death wa not unex pected and by him not unprepared for, a ho divided hi farm among hi child reu and gave them deed some two year ago, reserving for hluiwlf and wife life estate in the hind, a precaution probably unneecKK.y with hi prudent children, hut generally too much neg lected by pioneer. Mr. Jack, though a pioneer of 1847, did not avail himself of tbe opportunity ollered by (he donation land law. Hi parent were ged and rather Infirm Ukmi their arrival in the territory and needed the care and sup port of their children, which wa freely and telf-dunyingly given. I well recol lect the reply of the futher, Jeremiah Jack, when I asked him why hi ton, William and Hubert, did not take claims when (hut beautiful Ilutte Creek country wa unoccupied? "Oh, we could not be sepemled," and he continued,' "My wife ami I have taken a section and Por ter bus taken a half section and don't you think that a section and a half of land is enough for our three lxjys?" I must not omit that the suid section and a half of land wa til in one body, lying on both side of Itutta crock, including larKO area ol splendid bottom land, and that the parent and three boys, Wil liam, Kohort and Porter, lived in the suine house. Tlio futher wa Irlih, the mother wa Scotch, but no Jarring feud ever came Into that home. Dillerences of opinion, which were firujiiont aud ra tionally disposed of, seemed to weld them more firmly together. True enough they could not bear to be eieraled, and a tougti arithmetical problem wa prei ented to me in the year 1803 when the father desired me to run a line dividing the section from the half section and paaslng through the house so that he could swear to a residence on hi land and Porter en hi. The problem wa atisfactorily solved and the require ments of the land law fully obeyed. The adage of "like father like son" is reinforced in the person and family of William Jack, for that too i a model family. Hi marriage to Mis Mary Jane Weddle January fi, 18T4, wa fortu nate and their children, Barton, J. E., W. S and A. F. Jack and Mr. Nettie Albright anil Mr. Susan Hook are worthy of their anceator. It seems to be a fashionable idea with too many people that those who never quarrel lack couraite and force and that such are a goody-goody set who can't be depended upon when severe trial come. No be tier ptoof of the falsity of such no tions can he found than the li'e history fo William Jack. He was born August Sttth, near Madlsonville, Monroe county, East Tennesee, where he lived until March 18:10, when his father and family, consisting of his wife, three son and one daughter, moved to Sedalia, Missouri. Here they lived eleven years, then the family Joined an emigrant train bound for Oregon, which they reached in October of the same year, 1847. The winter of that year the family lived near Oregon CUy and the spring of 1848 moved to their claim on Butte craek. Wiliam Jack, though worn and wasted by the overland journey of some five months duration, could And cause and courage enough to Join a conymny of volunteers enlisted for the tayuse war in Eastern Oregon. He bore unllinch ingly every duty during that rigorous winter and wa one of the company who buried the bleaching bones of Dr. Whit man and family. Arriving home late in the spring of 1848, he and his brother tut about preparing for a trip to the Cal ifornia gold mines, which they reached in the fall. But the hardahip he had undergone were beginning to tell upon a constitution never strong and icknea constantly interrupted the mining busi ness. Despairing of success, he took passage for Oregon on an old Bail vessel which made the trip in twenty-one day at a cost of $1.0 for each passenger Mr. Jack became a member of the Cum berland Presbytersan church In 1842 and though thete ha been some dissutiafai! tion in that church as well as in others, he lias kept on in the straight and quiet wav. I became acquainted with the family of Jeremiah Jack immediately after my arrival In the Wyiamotto valley, in the fall of 1851, and I can say that every since, and it covers a long period of forty-lour years, I have never exper ienced anything but unalloyed pleasure when we met. Honorable, candid, pa tient, Intelligent people, not unduly sel fish and KWHessed of a fund of humor and delicacy of appreciation which baf fled the disagreeable pricks which are wont to make such woeful rent in this world's peace and pleasures. Why shouldn't I long to meet them? ' T. W. Davenport. Will's seeds are good; Likewise his trees and plants.

The occasion wa a very euihulutlu oau. Thu Philomath en and Franklin Sodotlc met In a Joint debate and tbe topic lor discussion was. Kesolvcd, That Increased wealth is a benefit to the moral of the people. The former club, which was represented by Messr. Bert Beatie, Clarence Purdoui and Arthur Ilolden took the affirmative side of the question, while the invinci- lo Franklin Lyceum, upholding the negative, wa represented by Ja. Mathe son, Fred Moindle and Edgar Meresse. Tno meeting wa culled to order by Dr. Fernn. Hurt Beultie led the affirm ative in a most convincing manner, and wa followed by hi colleague. The m-giitive, led by the fascinating and able speech of . Matheson, soon overbal anced the affirmative ; then came the el oquent appeal of Fred Meindle, which made a gieat impression upon the judge and audience. The decision of the judges was rendered, two in favor of tbe nega tive and one In favor of the affirmative. The meeting then adjourned. This Mfcond victory of the Frojiklin Lyceum over the Plulo, bring great credit and congratulation to the former club; but one knows not which to admire the more, the gallantry of the attack or the lieroiem of the defense. In such a victory is glory and in uch a defeat no disgrace. A Bov. lougfellow Myinposlum. Opening Song Chautauqua (ilee Club Declamation "Paul' Hevere'. Ride" Mis Grace Wbitlock.

A Piece of Her Mind. A lady correspondent ha this to say : " I wint to give a piece of my mind to a certain class who object to advertising, when It cost them anything this won't coat them a cent. I suffered a living death for nearly two year with headache, backache, in psin standing or walking, was being liteially dragged out of existence, my misery in creased by drugging. At last, in despair I committed the sin of trying an advertised medicine, Dr. Pierce' Favorite Prescription, and It restored me to the blessedness of sound health. I honoi the physician who when he knowns he can cure, has the moral courage to advertise the fact." The medicine mentioned cure all the delicate diseases peculiar to females, as "Female Weakness," periodical pains, irregularities. nervou prostration, tpasm, chorea or St. Vitus' Dance, sleeplessness, threatened insanity.

Epidemic of Cholera, Yellow Fever and other dineaiws of similar character, so ter rible in their result, occasion wide spread alarm and receive the mont careful eonnid eration for their prevention and cure, while consumption receives acareeljr a thought. ret the number or their victims sinus into ntignificance when compared with tboae of consumption. Comparatively few people know what to do for their loved ones when they ace them gradually lose strength, lose color, manifest feeble vitality and emacia tion, or develop a cough, with difficult breathing, or hemorrhage. Cod liver oil was for a long time given in all auch caws, but the poor succesa attending it nae counted with its nauneatinc taste has led many practitioners, aa well as the public at l irge, to place their main reliance in Dr. Pierce 'a Golden Medical Discovery. It de serves early attention and will prove effect ual not in every case but in a large percentage of cases, and we believe that fully oS per cent of all case of consumption can, if taken in the early stages of tbe dieae, be cured with the " Discovery." Dr. Pierce doea not ask people to believe until they have in vestigated for themselves. A pamphlet ha been published having the names, addresse and photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering; coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies which will be mailed free to those sending for it with their name and address upon a postal card, or you can have a medical treatise, in book form of 160 pages, mailed to yon, on receipt of address and aix cents in stamps.
