The wedding of Chas. II. Fisher and
Miss Efe Owens was solemnized at the
residence of the bride's mother on Oak
street last evening, Eev. Geo. 2. Annes,
of the Baptist church, officiating. The
wedding was a quiet affair, only the reia-
tijezasd a few Intimate friends being'
present. After the ceremony the happy
couple were the recipients of Jwarm con
gratulations, and then refreshments were
served. The X. oP. band shortly be
fore 10 o'clock tendered the happy couple
a serenade, and after discoursing some
excellent music the members were in
vited to enter and partake of refresh
ments. The bride is well known here in Rose
borg, and has always been a favorite
among her associates. Mr. Fisher is
the able editor of the Review, and' as
euch is well known not only in Rose
burg and Douglas county but throughout
the state. His many friends and also
those of his fair bride will join the
PussuzALzr. In extending heartiest con
gratulation!, and wishing them a long
life cf happiness and unalloyed bliss.
After the guests had departed 3Ir. and
Mrs. Fisher repaired to the new home
the groom had fitted np, which is immedi
ately west of Mrs. Owens' residence. It
is a pretty cottaze, and was handsomely
furnished throughout by Mr. Fisher pre
vious to his marriage.
Southern Pacific Engineers.
Oaxlaxd, CaL, Jan. 29. The local
ledge of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers 13 on the anxious seat tonight.
Chief Arthur, the national leader of the
organization, was expected to come on
the evening overland train, but did not
arrive. He is now expected on any train,
but bis whereabouts is not known. He is
having a vote polled on the entire system,
from El Paso, Ogden and Portland to San
Francisco, on the question of ordering a
general strike if the Southern Pacific
company will not recede from the new
Echedule put into tffect the first of the
year. Such a strike cannot be ordered
unless two-thirds of the entire member
ship consents. The result of a general
strike of engineers depends entirely upon
the attitude of the men who lost their
places in tho great American Railway
Union strike of last July. A. J. Roberts,
of the local branch of that organization,
said last night that nothing would bo
done to interfero with the success of a
strike by the engineers, as organized
labor is now at stake, and if another fight
came, all would unite to make a success
to overthrow the power of corporations.
The American Railway Union will fur
nish no "scabs," ho says, and is of tho
opinion that Cebs and Arthur will uuito
Jorces in ualiiornia early in the spring
and make one of the greatest national
etnkes ever dreamed of by man.

It is darkly whispeied that there is to
be a revolution in bathing costumes this
coming sommer. The bathing dress of
the period is a mtre aquatic variety of
the bouse dress, with the usual articles
of outer clothing worn at home, includ
ing shoes and stockings, and in extreme
cases, a corset, Trilby ha3 led to a cult
of the female foot, and ladies whose feet
were naturally pretty and have not been
deformed by tight shoes, proposo to start
the fashion of bathing in bare feet and
ankles. When the idea was first sug
gested Mrs. Grundy gasped and had to
be restored to consciousness by repeated
applications of smelling salts; but she is
feeling belter now, and is beginning to
realize that a practice which was followed
by the saints cannot involve any real
danger to morals.

A. S. Peters of Kellogg spent several

during his stay inado this office a pleas
ant call. He is ouito enthusiastic over
his section of the county, and thinks it
the best part of Douglas. While fruit
raising has not ai yet been engaged in
-ery extensively there, yet Mr. Peters is
confident that it is one of the very best
sectiots for the raising of fruit. Three
years ago ho planted a young orchard,
and tho trees are lareo and thrifty, and
look much better than any trees of a
similar age that he has seen elsewhere.
Of course the climate ia somewhat differ
ent down nearer the coast than it is here,
and it may prove true that that section is
best adapted to tho raising of fruits.

Salem, Jan. 30. Tho chief incident of
tho session in tho house Monday was the
ineffectual attempt to "railroad through"
the hill repealing the railroad commission
law. Tho objection raised on tho floor
was lho usual or irregular character of
tho proceeding, while other hills wero
being referred to committees. Thero are
not a few, however, who view tho action
of the house as indication that the abol
ishment of the commission is more
problemeliail than has generally been
conceeiletl.
Tuesday morning tho Douglas county
delegation from the houso presented
President Simon with a handsome gavel
of Oregon myrtle. Mr. Blundell was
spokesman for tho delegation and made
the presentation in a few well chosen
words. It goes without saying the gift
is highly appreciated by tho president.
Speaker Moore3 reminded the mem
bers of the house Tuesday of tho pledges
of economy made bv the republican
party last spring and called attention to
the apparent extiavagance in the matter
ofj committee clerks already reported.
He warned committeo clerks who had
been sworn in without authority froai
the house that they would not he oaid.
A special committee was appointed to
look into the matter. Some queer com
binations can be revealed if the true in
wardness of this committee clerk busi
ness is reache '.
In the senate Tuesday the first scheme
yet proposed tor the employment oi Ore
gon's convicts made its appearance in
the form of Senator Denny's bill propos
ing to employ the state prisoners in the
growing of sugar beets and their nanu-
facture into suear. The bill proposes tho
entering of the stale into a contract with
the Oregon Sngar Beet Co. for such em
ployment for a icrioJ cf ten years of the
state's prisoners.

The Pioneers.
A meeting of tho pioneers of Douglas
county was held at th court house in
Resebtirg on tho 24th of June, 1S93, to
take steps towards forming a society of
the pioneers of the couaty. A tempor
ary organization was formed, with G.
W. Riddle as president and H. C. Stan
ton secretary. This temporary meeting
was adjourned to meet at the fair grounds
in September following to peifect the or
ganization, and make it a permanent
one. At this meeting ia September,
1S93, thero wero over 150 pioneers
present, at which meeting Stephen
Staats delivered tho opening address,
alter which Hon. G. W. Riddle was
elected president of the society and H.
C. Stanton secretary. Several short ad
dresses were made by pioneers present,
and an enjoyable time was had.
The next reunion was held at the fair
grounds in September, ISJ4, at which
meeting Stephen Staats was elected pres
ident and lea Rico secretary. This
meeting was not as well attended as the
previous one, probably on account of the
rather late call for a meeting. The
present president of the society will make
a call early in the spring for pioneers
living in Roseburg and vicinity, and all
citizens interested in the success of this
association, to make arrangements
whereby the meeting next June may be
a highly enjoyable one to all who may
attend, by giving early notice, and by
making suitable arrangements, the presi

Niberg week before last :
"An examination of Niberg's houso
would almost substantiate the belief tliat
Johnsou was murdered ou Monday night
Near tho stove in one of tho rooms was a
stool. All around tho siool and stove
tho floor was coverod with masses of
clotted blood. Ashes had been thrown
on it, tho mass scraped into a dust pan
and thrown out U19 back door. Some
thing, supposed to have been tho body
of Johnson, had been dragged through
tho blood and ashes from room to room
to tho door, where stood tho blood
covered wheel-barrow, and tho wheel
track was traced a short way from the
house toward tho river, but could bo

A SPECIAL flESSAGE.
Cleveland Gives His Ideas on the
Financial Question.
Washington, Jan. 28, Tho provident
today sent to congress the following mes
sage:
To the senate and house of representa
tives: In my last annual message I com
mended to tho serious consideration of
congress tho condition of our national
finances, and in connection with the sub
ject indorsed a plan of currency legisla
tion which at that time seemed to furnish
protection against impending danger.
This plan has not been approved by con
gress. In tho meantimo the situation
has so changed and an emergency now
appears so threatening, I deem it my
duty to ask at the hands of the legisla
tive branch of tho covernraent such
prompt and effective action as will re
store confidence in our financial sound
ness and avert business disaster and uni
versal distress among our people.
The real trouble which confronts us
consists in a lack of confidence, wide
spread and constantly increasing, in the
continuing ability or disposition of the
government to pay its obligations in
gold. This lack of confidence grows to
some extent out of palpable and appar
ent embarrassments attending the gov
ernment under the existing laws in urc-
curing gold and to a greater extent out of
the impossibility of either keeping it in
the treasury or cancellingobligations by
its expenditure after it is obtained. The
only way left open to the government to
procure gold is by tho issue and sale of
bonds. The only bonds that can ba
issued were authorized nearly 25 years
ago and are not well calculated to meet
our present needs. Among other disad
vantages they are made payable in coin,
instead of specifically in gold, which in
existing conditions detracts largely, and
in an increasing ratio, from their desira
bility as investments. It is by no means
certain that bonds of this description can
be much longer disposed of at a price
creditable to the Gnancial character of
our government.
The most dangerous and irritating
feature of tho situation, however, re
mains to be mentioned. It 3 found in
the means by which the treasury is de
spoiled of gold, thus obtained without
cancelling a single government obliga
tion and solely for the benefit of those
who find proQt in shippiug it abroad, or
whose fears induce them lo hoard it at
home.
Financial events of the past year sug
gest facts and conditions which should
certainly attract attention. More than
$172,000,00.) in gold has been drawn out
of tho treasury during the year for the
purpose of shipping abroad or hoarding
at home. While nearly $103,000,000 ot
the same was drawn out during the first
10 months of the year, a sum aggregating
more than two-thirds that amount, being
about $09,000,000, was drawn out during
the following two months, thus indicat-
ng a marked acceleration of the deplet
ing process during that lapse of time.
In my opinion the secretary of the
treasury should be authorized to issue
bonds of the government for the purpose
of procuring and maintaining a sufficient
gold reserve, and the redemption and
cancellation of tho United States legal
tender uote and treasury uotes issued
for tho purchase of silver under the law
of July 14, 1390.
We should hi relieved from the humili
ating process of issuing bonds to procure
gold to be immediately and completely
drawn out on these obligations for pur-
Kises not rolateJ for the ccnetit of our
government or our people. Tho princi
pal and intorest of these bonds should be
payablo on their faco in gold, becauso
thero would not probably be anv diffi
culty in favorably disposing ot bonds not
containing this stipulation. I suggest
that tho bonds be issued in denomina
tions of $20 and $50, and their aultiples,
and that they bear interest not exceed
ing 3 per cent per annum. I do not see
why they could not bo mada p.iyabh) 50
years from thoir date, we, of the present
generation, having large amounts to p.iy
if wo meet our obligations, and as long
bonds are tho most salable, the secretary
of tho treasury might well ho permitted,
at his discretion, to receive on tiie sale of
bonds legal tender and treisnry notes to
bo retired, and, of course, when they arc
thus retired or redeemed in gold, they
should bo cancelled.
Theso bjiuls, under tho existing laws,
could bo deposited by the national banks
as security for circulation, and such
banks shutiM bo allowed to issue circula
tion up to the faco value of these or auy
other bonds so deposited, except bonds
outstanding hearing onlv 2 per cont in
terest and which bell in the market at
less than par. National tank Mioukl
not bo allowed to lako out circulating
notes of less iloiiomin.it ion than $10, and
when such as aro now outstanding reach
the treasury, except for redemption and
retirement, they should be cancelled, and

wards issued in the'r stead. Silver
certificates of the denomination of $10
and upwards should be replaced by cer
tificates of denominations under $10, as
a constant means for the maintainence
of a reasonable supply of gold in the
treasury.
Our duties on imports Bhould be paid
in gold, allowing all other dues of the
government to be paid in any other form
or money. I believe all the provisions I
have suggested should be embodied in
our laws if we are to enjoy a complete
reinstatement of sound financial condi
tion. They need not interfere with any
currency scheme for providing for an in
crease o! tho circulating medium through
the agency of national or state banks,
since they can easily be adjusted to euch
a scheme.

That Big Slide.
Dunsmnir News: Mt. Bradley,
whence the avalanche got its start, is a
steep bald mountain nearly two miles
from tho river. As the slide Btarted
down the mountain it gathered strength
and butk in its path. It soon began to
take'brush along and then trees. Plow
ing through a deep and narrow gorgo it
carried trees, rocks and everything in
reach. Great pine trees three and four
feet in diameter were twisted off like
reeds and carried along on the breast o
the avalanche, diving into the snow and
then shooting up into the air until they
struck the opposite bank of the Sacra
mento river more than a mile away from
the starting point. When the avalanche
crossed the river, it was nearly a thou
sand feet wide and fifty feet deep. It
ran up on the bank on the east side of
the river, and dammed the water com
pletely for some time. At Dunsmnir,
over a mile south of the slide, the riyer
ran so low at one time .that a person
could walk across without wetting the
soles of his feet. Tuesday, while the
men were away to their noon meal,
another wild avalanche came down big
ger than the first one and spread out on
top of it, burying the railroad track fifty
or sixty.feet deeper. Two big pine trees,
between four and five feet in diameter,
plowed a trench through the hard snow
and shot across the river, burying one end
into the bank on the other side, mak
ing two bridges across the Sacramento.
To give one en idea of the amount of
snow that came down, besides what went
into the river and was washed away,
there is a body 1200 feet wide, 2000 feet
long and from 50 to 100 feet deep. If the
men bad been at work when the last
came down there would have been over
a hundred of them buried under tha
snow, crushed to death or slid in the
river. "One of the working men went up
oa snowshoes to near where the snow
broke loose. He reports that the snow
was between thirty and forty feet deep
where the avalanche broke off, and the
piece that came down is only a speck
compared to what is left and ready to
start at any time.
