Our neigh borhood was very much shocked last week at tbe very sudden death of Flora Cottey. She had been sick some time, but It was thought to be nothing at all serious. On Sunday the thought the would be able to go to school Monday, but did not feel quite so well so medicine was sent for. On Tuesday she was still not so well but able to net up and walk around some. The doctor was sent for, and her little sister, as usual, went off to school and brothers went to Portland, About 9 o'clock she rolled to her mother to come and star by her, when her mother saw that she looked a little strange and said, "Flora, can vou see met " She answered, "Yes, mama." Then her mother put her band on her face and asked, "Can you feel met" Flora answering, "Why yes, mamai threw ber arms around her mother's neck and fell back, gasped and was gone. It was a verry sudden shock to the family. The father, who is quite frail, was of course, ser iously shocked, but was wonderfully sus tained by the grace of God. Funeral ser vices were held at the F. M. church, con ducted by Rev. Wm. Barrett, assisted by Rev.B.F.Smalley. Thecburcb was well filled quite a number ol friends coming out from Portland. The remains were interred in the cemetery at Damascus to await the gen eral resurrection. Notwithstanding the severe storm of the past few days, our district quarterly confer ence and ministerial association meeting was a grand success. Of course the severe storm kept away a great many that in tended attending. Rev. B. F. Smalley and wife, James Murrow and wife, and Mrs. Duvol, of Oregon City, were present. Rev. J. F. Leise and wife and a number more. came over from West Portland, and Rev A. Liiigren and David Cathey from Gres- ham. The power of God was among us which made the meetings a success. The snow bas covered up a good many potatoes in our community, but we expect to see good weather again soon. Rev. Wm.

OhWEUO NEWS- A Little rhlld Burned to Death-Sticker Lake Bam Damaged by Hleh Water. Osweoo, Nov. 18. At the home of Wm 8chaubel in South Oswego on last Friday occurred one of those sail and distressing accidents that casts a gloom over a whole community. About noon Mrs. Schaubel event to the chicken house to look after her poultry, leaving her little boy about twenty months old alone in tbe house. A short time elapsed when the heard the screams of the little one and rushing into the house she lound her precious baby enveloped in Haines. Sbe succeeded in subdueiug the flames in its clothing but they had done their fatal work. The poor little fellow was in great agony and Dr Saylor was im mediately called and did all that could be done to ease the pain of the little one until Saturday morning when the spirit left tbe body and the poor little fellow's suffering was over. It is supposed that the little one had toddled to the stove afrer the mother had left the room and by some means tbe clothing had caught on fire. Tbe funeral service were conducted from the church of the Eacrad Heart. Tbe stricken parents have the sympathy of the entire commun ity in their sad bereavement. The high water in the lake caused a slight break in the dam. The damage does not amount to much. A force ef men were working all day yesterday repairing the break and strengthening weak places. There is an old bridge over Sucker creek on the Shipley road that is only about twenty five feet from this dam and every time an accident befalls the dam the bridge is en dangered. Three years ago both aprons were washed away by in overflow of tbe lake. Tbe lower bridge on Sucker creek was also washed away at that time and is again in danger. One bridge about mid way between the two would do the work of both and be out of dai ger of high water and washouts. Mrs. Mary Giugnard presented her hus band with a fine baby girl last Thursday, Tbe mother and child are doing well and August is in the third heaven of delight. Mother Wright departed yesterday to visit a daughter living at Ilwaco and a son living al Astoria. Captain Buck of the Christian Volunteer Needy Note. Nixdt. Nov. Id. The farmers are about disheartened with rain as It is an every day occurrence here. Some say it is cleansing the populist's sins. The recent rains have raised the water and washed out several small bridges and aprons from larger bridges. This givet the road supervisor employment. The people are rejoicing over the election of McKinley. That is, the republicans. The pops expected to carry this place, but got left. The Congregational church at Smyrna bas services every second and fourth Sun day in each month, and Sunday school every Sunday at 10 a. m. Church is at 11 a. m with Rev. Dick as pastor. Some are refusing 10 and II cents per pound for their hops. The bird killit.g season is over, so is elec tion, and the correspond nt sincerely hoe8 that since we have protection the birds may be protected also. The birds are now very scarce and wild. Tbe people of this vicinity opened their eyes on seven inches of snow Tuesday morning. It was very unexpected this time of year at this place. I would like to know if any one remembers of a snow like this at this time of year. J. J. Hiaffurd News. Stafford, Nov. 15. Still it rains. Oregon never does anything by halves, fj.57 inches of rain fell during the week ending at 7 this morning according to Mr. Gage' rain gauge. Streams, wells and cisterns are rapidly fill ing up, but the weather is not cold. J. Q. Gage, accompanied by his brother, C. M. Gage, got home Friday afternoon wet and hungry. They had both been rolled in a swollen ford, saddle horses and all. They brought out five horses. Miss Emma Baker, we are sorry to say, gets no better. A friend from Oswego lias been staying with the family since tbe mo ther's funeral. Mrs. Katie Ziegele, nee Bchattz, Is home on a visit. The roof to the belfry of the new school bouse is reported as leaking. It might be well for the directors to see to the matter. Wbere is Millovia, the new name tbe Ew- terpkisi broom swept into its columns last week? Tell us where your are, my friend. About one-half inch of snow fell this evening. New Era New. New Eka, Nov. 10. Still it rains and everybouy is happy except those with small wood piles and the xps, Grandma Foster is still on the sick list but we hope to see her out again soon. Wm. McDonald, who has been working in the mines in Linn county, is home again with bis family for a short time. He is nursing a broken finger. Mr. David Pen man is also home for a short time. Rumor has it that we are to have a wed ding in New Era on Thursday of this week. Good luck ami the best wishes of the com munity go with them. Rev. Atkinson will preach at Central Point on the third Sunday in December, and will at the same time organize an Kp worth League at that place. Miss Aggie McArthur is teaching the land school this winter. i There will be a ribbon social at tbe C'en-1 It wm "steamer day" at Sitka, and amid all the joyous stir and excitement that the monthly bout brought was ono forlorn, nuhappy man. Totu Douglas watched his friemU as they eagerly opened their letter and listened with assumed interest to the bits of new they were anxious to shore, for at Sitka the population, throng to the wharf when the steamer's whistle is hoard and waits the oomiug of the ship and thodistribu tiun of the m ails. The people crowd in to the tiny pustotilce on the dork and watch imminently for the longed for borne letter. But Tom's home letter was not comfort to him. "Well, sho is really coming, be thonght, "a month from today, If tbe steauier is on time. I will be a married unui ; worse luck. IIow can I ever tell Natalia, dear little girl I I wouldn't willingly hurt hor tender footings for $1,000,000, as hard op as I a." And Tom whistled ruefully. Tom Doug liia was a naval ofuccr and before being stationed at Sitka bo bad been on duty a winter in Washington, where bo plunged into society with that gay abandon that only a sailor knows, for after tbreo years at sea a yonng fel low is qnito ready for the rush and whirl of tbe gay capital All houses were open to the handsome lieutenant, but there was one where he was espe cially welcome. The hostess woo a pret ty widow of some 2d or 27 years of ago. Her husband, who had died soon after their marriage, seemed not to have had a very strong hold on her affertiona, for after mourning him decorously for a year sho bloesomcd into the gayest of the gay, and her bouse becamo a center for the young officers who had been the friends of her husband. It was there that Tom spent most of bis time. He dropped in during tbe morning and discussed tho newest gos sip or the latest magazines and came in for a cap of tea in the afternoon and re mained till her oozy parlor was empty save for himself and her. "Are yon going to the assembly to night?" he would ask. "Will yon be there, Tom?" Mrs. Door ing had such a good fellowship way of using her friends' first nanic. "i'es, I presume so." "Well, then, I am going," the littlo widow won Id reply. And that was tho way tho winter passed, Tom running in at all hours, 1 privileged to smoke or read, to talk or j listen, tho most indulged of all her , callers. When his orders enmo for his immediate, removal to Aluxka, ho put tho document in his pocket ami went us usual to tho cheery homo of Mrs. Decr ing. Ho told her tho news mid was real ly surtiristj and flattered by her reoop tiou of it. She took both his hands in hers, and the tears gathered in her bright eyes. "Ob, Tom," shosaid, "Ihuto to have you go." Now, it never occurred to Lieutenant Douglas lwforo, but at this moment tho idea did como to him that he was in love with the widow. Ho drew her to him and kissed away her tears, and be fore be knew it he was engaged to Alice Doering. Ho left soon after arranging to have Alice join hira later in tho summer, but owing to the loss of a distant relative, the heir of whose modest estate she was, her coming had been greatly delayed. It wag now more than a year since Tom and she hud parted in Washington. In the meantime Tom had whiled uwny his leisure hours in the somewhat narrow circle of Hitka society, but in that nar row bound be had found a fair Russian flower that ho knew bloomed for him. Though Tom had not mfide love to Na talia he was too honorable for that they had been together constantly, and each knew instinctively what was in the other's heart. "I believe I'll go and tell Natalia all," Tom continued to muse, "right now, for of course as a gentleman and oLoor I am bound to keep my word, and my word is given to marry Alice hang it I I wish I had never been bom. She, too, poor girl, may discover that my love has somewhat cooled. If it ever was love, it never was the same feeling I have for door littlo Natalia, bloss hor loving heart." So Tom went to Natalia and told her that he waa engaged, and that another month would see him married. Her delicate face whitened, bat con trolling herself she said : "I congratulate you, Mr. Douglas. " Then, bursting into tears, she turned away. The sight of hor teors was too much for Tom. Embracing hor tondor ly, he said: "I love but yon, Natalia, darling. Oh, thut I had mot yon first I My fondness for Alice was but a fleet ing thing, and my love, for you will last forever. " Pressing warm kisses on her lips, he held her close. "Leave me, Tom. It is right for yon to koep your word, but you should have told me of yonr engagement before. We had best part now. Goodby.
