Railroad Reports.
A San Francisco dispatch says that
within a few months, another transcon- I
tinental railway, the Union Pacific sys- '
teni, will have a terminal on the bay of
San Francisco. This will break a rail- i
road monopoly that his held this city in '
an iron grip ever since the llrat railroad !
r , .... i
recueo una swura oi mti racinc coast.
After yeara of patient efforts and many
disappointments, the Union l'acitic 8"a
tem has effected an arrangement "by
which it can reach Sn Francisco bay.
This will be accomplished by a connect
ing link, the Oregon Central & Eastern
railway, formerly the Oregon l'acitic,
uniting the Union with the San Francisco
& North l'acitic railway, commonly
called the lJonahue broad-grange line.
The latter is to extend its line from Ukiah
to Covela. The Oregon road now ex
tends to Corvallis and Yaquina bay, by
that state. The connecting road will
follow down the coast, and join the
Donahue system. A Omaha dispatch,
though, states that S. H. H. Clark, the
managing receiver of the Union Pacific,
states that the report is entirely untrue,
so far as it relates to his company, lie
said :
"It will be impossible aa well aa im
practicable for tne Union Pacific railroad
to undertake so extensive a system of
improvements. The reports clearly re
late to the Oregon Paciuc."
All of which goes to show that railroad
reports nowadays need investigating. It
U to be hoped there is some tire in the
matter.
"Alabama," Augustus Thomas's beau
tiful play will be the attraction at the
opera house on Tuesday evening. May
28. There are many beautiful effects in
this delightful play, one of them, the re
sult of a little accident, is exceedingly
pretty and is worth recounting : When
the curtain goes up on the third act of
"Alabama," the fragrant odor of the
Magnolia permeates the theater, and
each one in the audience turns around
and looks at his neighbor wondering
where the delicious pertune comej from.
They do not realize it comes from the
stage. This little bit of realism, it such
it may be called, originated with the au
thor. While watching the performance
the first of the week in New York, Mr.
Thomas occupied a box. In one of the
orchestra seats a fashionably attired lady
putted a small vial ot cologne trom her
pocket, and in so doing, dropped it. The
vial broke and the scent was plainly
noticeable all over the house, not strong,
but faintly sweet and seemed in keeping
with the 'beautiful foliage and hanging
moss on the sta?e. The next dav Mr.
Thomas consulted a chemist and had
him prepare several ounces of extaact of
Mongolia. Just before the curtain went
op the next night, an atomizer spray
was used on the stage, and the odor of
Magnolia bloom filled the stage; when
the curtain went np.tbe scent was blown
to all parts of the house. The illusion of
a southern night was comp'eto; the
moon, the scenery, the negro voices and
the magic odor of the Magnolia.
The company presenting "Alabama"
includes the famous and popular actor,
Frank C Ban ire, Clement Bainhridge.for
whom Mr. Thomas wrote the part of
Capt. Davenport, winsome Ethel Irving,
Inez Knolton, L. P. Hicks, Geoige B.
Muler, . Lomse . Mrr.irov, fcdward
Maas. Charles Moore, K. E. Raymond
and Emy line Barr.
How Brink Lost $135. Recently the
Democrat copied an item from a Cor
vallis paper about the foO buggy ride of
Mr. Brunk. of Polk countv, and the no
torious Mrs. Post, of the Summit, After
wards the couple were in Albany, and
from here went to Portland, and the fal
lowing, erroneous as to new acquaintance
ship, is given as the result by the Ore
gonian: J. O. Brunk, a Polk county
farmer, living near Independence, fell
amongst the Philistines yesterday. Un
der the inspiration of several drinks, he
felt particularly good, and, during the
afternoon, made the acquaintance of ons
Katie Post. She prevailed upon him to
visit her room. No. 41 at the National
hotel, and, when the Polk county farmer
left, he was $135 short. He complained
to the police, and Katie soon after found
herseli a prisoner in the central station.
Upon being searched a $100 bill was
found sewn up in the folds of an under
garment. The remainder of the money,
5, was found hid in the bosom of her
dress. In order to insure the attendance
of Brunk in court, he was detained at
the station as a witness. Todav be will
recount his experience in metropolitan
lite when called as a witness in the mun

Some After Thoughts.
Editor DiMocrat :
''. It would be unpardonable in this ago
of progression to offer you news of the
state V, 0. T. U. convention so long
after its adjournment, so 1 shall not give
even an outline of the proceedings, but
simply say that it was the best managed,
most harmonious and most satisfactory
convention 1 ever attended. Mrs. Kin
ney kept everything well in hand, fol
lowing the order of business so cloeely
as to adjourn the convention at the very
moment designated on the program.
The convention was invited by the of
ficers of the Soldiers Home to visit the
institution, and on Thursday evening
carriages were placed at the disposal of
the ladies bv the citizens and they were
taken out. The drive of two miles is a
beautiful one. The road crosses the
Umpqua river and winds along the foot
hills until it reaches a spot where the
valley widens, and here nestled at the
foot of lofty hills is 'The Soldier's Home.
The buiid.ng is three stories high, set up
on a high basement. The style ot archi
tecture is rattier plain ana substantial,
but theve is sufficient ornamentation to
give it an elegant and imposing appear
ance. AVe were met and cordially welcomed
by Superintendent Byara and wife, and
shown through the entire building. On
the first floor are situated the officers
and their families. On the second floor
are the sleeping apartments of the otti-
rers, employes and some of tbe soldiers.
The third floor is used for the doraiitory,
where the larger number of the soldiers
sleep. Each bed was covered with a
while spread and supplied with every
thing necessary for comfort, and ali the
rooms were very neat, clean and com
fortably furnished, well lighted and
cheery. The view from the windows in
the third story is particularly fine. In
the basement we found the dining rooms
for the soldiers, the kitchen, laundry fur
naces, etc., everything complete and in
perfect order. 'It certainly is a most
heartsome place, and the soldiers seem
to appreciate their home most heartily.
Thev seem happy and contented. There
are 57 enrolled, some were absent on
furlough.
Mrs. Kinney addressed them in her
happiest manner, presented a beautiful
boquet, tend after singing a verse or two
of a song, the ladies retired. The s'.ate
lias done herself honor in providing this
beautiful home, where those who gave
the best of their lives in defense of our
country, mav spend the remaining years
in peace and quiet.
The spirit of harmonr and good-fellowship
which pervaded the convention,
remained with the delegates and mani
fested itself in many ways on the home
ward trip. It was a jolly crowd that
waved adieus to the Roseburg ladies,
and aa we steamed away a voice rang out
in the words of a familiar hymn, one
after another took up the refrain until
a full chorus of voices "made music in
the air." In the lull which followed the
musical outburst, Mrs. R. M. Robb edi
fied the company by singing a hymn in
Chinook: tins was quickly followed by a
song in Chinese by Mrs. M. M. Blam,
and in answer to her came another song
in the Yaimax language by Mrs. Graff.
Before the applause had subsided Miss
Wold sang w lerd melody in the Sioux
tongue, this was followed by the count
ing of numbers up to 12, m the Pota
watamie language, by Mrs. Manners.
Mrs. Bishop gave her tribute in a plain
tive German song, and M"s. Shane add
ed to the entertainment by a recitation
in Italian, Mrs. Ramp, a veteran among
us, sang in her clear soprano, "I'll vote
for Mollie and the Babie. don't you
Know. But it remained for our own
Mrs. Smick to "cap the climax" which
she did by singing a song in the Paunee
language, accompanied by the Indian
characteristics and gesticulations, and
the war-whoop she gave at the finale
brought every woman to her feet, and
almost made the hair on their beads rise
in expectation of tbe application of the
scalping knife. And so you see that
ibese earnest, laitnlul wemen wbo are
bending their energies for the protection
of the home against the liquor traffic,
can unbend occasionally, and when they
do, oh, what fun ! ii. B.

A MoBPiiisa Fiksd. The following
from the Salem Post is a good illustra
tion of the effects of morphine : Frank
O'Donald, a morphine fiend, of tbe
lowest degree, was arrested by city Mar
shal Dilley this aftcrnooa, charged with
stealing a grate lar from the Salem can
nery, lie will be tried before Judge
Edes sometime this afternoon. For some
time the police have had their eye upon
the prisoner, suspecting that most of the
petty thieving that was going on was
done by him. He, however, eluded tbe
strict watch of the officers until captured
today. The young fiend is one of the
vilest looking wretches belonging to the
"hypos." When full of the baneful drug
he is as happy as a clam at high water,
but allow the powerful drug to dio out of
his system and he is a pitiful sight to be-
noid. Keeking in agony ana crazea wun
pain which follows tbe effects after the
morphine is leaving, he will do anything
to secure more of his medicine, and it is
during one of these spells that he com
mits the many thelts charged to him.
Dalt Figcbbd. The report of John D.
Daly at the recent engineers meeting at
Yaquina showed that "work on the im
provement of the harbor commenced in
1881, and continued until now The
total exnenditure has been about $600.-
000. Of this sum $100,000 ought to be
deducted for material on hand which the
government can use elsewhere, leaving
the actual cost about $500,000." By
carefully prepared statistics he showed
that the total tonage across Yaquinabar
during the past ten years amounted to
about ayv.auu, upon which naa been
saved to the consumer and the producer
$795,600. In addition to this, the gov
ernment has received $179,994 in duties
upon imports, principally upon steel
rails used in the construction of the Ore
gon Pacific, which would not have been
started but for the improvement to the
bar.
Wknt to thi Soldikh's Homk. Alex
ander York' of Silverton, an Indian war
veteran was sent to the soldier's home at
Rosebunr this moraine. York is a well
known character in Marion county where
he has resided for many years. One
characteristic ot the old soldier is that he

Rare Cld Newspapers. Two relics of
a fast fading century are two English
newspapers in the possession of Mrs.
Cator. near Beulah, Benton county.
Thev are copies of The York Chronicle ,a
weekly newspaper puuiisnea at lork
England, and one of them bears the date,
"Thursdav. Aueust 27. 1812." while the
other was printed on "Thursday, Octo
ber 18, 1812. ' The papers are each four
page, with paces about the size of a page
of the Time, and at the top of the first
page ot each appears the legend, i rice
Sixpence." There are many cirious
things both in veibiae and the style of
printing to be noticed ou the 82-vears
old pages.which are still in a remarkably
good state of preservation. The copy of
tne latter date contains ac account ol tbe
defeat of the French at Salamanca by the
English, as written by Lord Willington
to King George III, and also an account
of Mu rat 'a attack upon Sicily, October
13, 1812, five dars before the paper was

A Side Issue.
The following from the Telegram is
decidely interesting. It makes it look as
if the real issue with Mr. Hammond
was theO. CAE. and not the Goble
road:
W. J. Injralls, one of Clatsop's large
realty-bolder, gives aa inside version of
the hitch occurring between Mr. Ham
mond and the sabsidy committee at As
toria, which has resulted in a stoppage
of negotiations on the building of the
Astoria A Oobie road, for the time being.
Mr. Hammond has insisted on ab
stracts of the subsidy deeds being made
and submitted to him. The committee
did not hke this and held back until told
by Mr. Hammond that unless the abstract-
were made, not a sod would be
turned on the road so far as he was con
cerned. As the Bonner people had with
drawn from the field and the Hammond
proposition was their last chance, the
subsidy men gave in and the abstracts
were made. A meeting was arranged at
which the committee was to meet Mr.
Hammond and the deeds be presented.
All went well at the meeting until some
flaw came up which interested Mr. C. H.
Page. An argument ensued which end
ed by Mr. Page declaring himself as "not
caring whether the road went thronsrh
or not. He had gotten in on the former
boom and was prettv comfortable.
To this Mr. Hammond replied : "Well,
Mr. Pae. if those are your sentiments,
let me inform you that I have got in cn
several deals before now and am feeling
pretty comfortable myself. Your road is
a side issue anyhow," and taking his
hat Mr, Hammond left the room, since
when the committee have seen him no
more.
The following from the Budget t, a very
nervous paper, doesn't look as if Astoria
papers were very much . disturbed:
Through the efforts of Mr. Hammond
Astoria will be made to boom. He will
use both his influence and money for this
purpose. So a gentleman who is close to
him stated to a Budgett representative
in Portland yesterday. His idea is to
make his I ig 'subsidy "very valuable bv
the timf the road is completed. He will
go to work within two weeks from the
time the committee here have wound up
their business.
