There stents to Iw au unanimity ol feelins here, that nom tie plumes are not highly satisfactory. I noticed an inclination uol so very long ago to stum ble over any one ho tlid not dambeau hia name to every trivial scrap of corres pondence. I have noticed it iu a more pronounced degree hince I lent yon the intloencc of a mysterious H. I fail to see the necessity thcra is positively no medesty) in William Henrr McGlynu trottcring his name all over a lot of local items. Such an observance would really be ridiculous, and iu some instances di- uuieling to the nerves of McGlynti. One illustration trill suffice. Some years a so when tho regular correspond' ent of a Kosebure piper was absent from Oakland, a friend consented to enlighten an admiring people concerning happen ings, etc., within I be limits of the Carta pooia slope. With strict fidelity and de cision he nipped each morsel of news and pinned it fast until the day came to wait the accumulation to the great dis seminator at Itoeebnrg. By a blunder conjunction of two morsels by the printer, the following innocent disclosure appeared: "Jlany hogs were in town today." "Mrs. Blank and daughter were here three days." Nothing in that couplet could anaken yearnings for literary immortality. Ueonre Marnolta St. Clair had written it and cisaicd his name to it, his ambi Iron would now be to die. For a while II. will do me, but if any thing happens worth signing it to, I will be with you. U Weather Bureau The following data, compiled from the weather bureau records at Itoeeburg, Oregon, cover the month September, for 77 rears, and should nrove of value and interest in anticipating the more im portant meteorological elements, and the ranse within which such variations mar be exnectol to keen for the com -ing month.

The Second Southern Oregon District Agricultural Association. The managers of this association aro bending every effort to build up and make a success of the association. And notwithstanding ibis we learn that cer tain parlies arc circulating damaging re ports to the effect that the officers and stockholders are using it for profit to themselves by appropriating the income of the association derived from exhibi tors and the gate money. Thcro is no truth iu such reports. We have Inquired into the matter and find that these public spirited men and women do not get anything except in common with all others, as tho follow ing agreement Bigned by these energetic, philanthropic and public sptriied per sons, shows: "We, the undersigned, do hereby agreo to make exhibits at the Second South era Oregon District Agricultural Society Fair, to be held at Roseburg, in Sep tember, l5. And we also further agree to invest the proceeds of any or all premiums we may receive iu tho Douglas County Agricult ural Association stock. ISigned ; Mrs. Wm. C, Wins'on, J. L. Baggs, F A. McCall, Mrs. F. A. McCall, Neal McCall, W. d. Ieper, Tempio Spaur, Mrs. W. It. Willis, It. B. Dixon The officers and employees also sign to a like agreement, viz: i. A. JlcCall, secretary ; J. B. Cannon, L. G. Mathews and II. C. Slocum, ticket sellers; B Brockway, collector at grand stand, and F. D. Owen, assistant secretary, Thus it will bo seen that those who are devoting their lime and talents to this worthy cause, turn in all they get for their ecrvices into tho treasury ot the association, to help raise money to pay expenses and premiums to the out- 6ido exhibitors. And as the stock does not pay oue cent dividends now, nor is it likely to for several years, poesimy never, it is no money making affair to them. They aro willing to work and wait, satisfied that for the present, it shall prove a success. These uulnenUJy reports thus put in circulation by croaK- era and carpers, show to what straits rim amall. narrow contracted bouIb will go, always snapping and snarling like mangy curs, at men and women engaged in any public improvement or enterprise The I'lalndhalku condemns all such kickers as unworthy of contonance, and on the other hand, it commends these wnrthv men and women named above. oml tbplr Bvmpathisera as deserving of hichesl praise lor meir i'un. .....v.. ; nets. OBITUARY. Daniel J Lyons, who diodatbis resi dence near Marshfiold. Orocon. Aug. 12th,-1895, was born in the city ot Cork, Ireland,Mnrch 28th, 1813. When but nine years of ago he mot with n sad accident, having tho ball of his right oyo knocked out by a pieco of broken slate thrown from llio hand of a schoolmate The other oyo Boon becamo n dec tod, and although tho most omminont occuhsts wero visited and ovory thing dono that money and skill could do to restoro his s'mht, all was iu vain. Upon learning tho truth, and realizing that all the rest of his lifo must bo spent in utter dark ness, ho boro it bravely and made a firm resolvo to learn ovory thing possible within tho grasp of a man without eyes. Though totally blind for Bixty-seven years ho always boro his great a miction with uncomplaining resignation. His parents having como to America in 182G and ecttled iu Louisville, no entered tho Kentucky Insliluto for the blind, and remained four years, duriug which timo ho becamo very proficient iu music, for which ho always possessed a peculiar talent, also learuod to cane chairs, tnako brooms, brushes, mat tresses and many other useful articles. The embossed books printed for the blind were at that time few and very expensive, so ho hired a highly intelli gent Englishman to read to him contin ually for live years, after which ho de voted much timo to liloiary and musical pursuits. Ho became a constant con tributor to uiany of the leading journals of the South and West, and a composer of some nolo; many of his beautiful Bongs can still bo ootnined at aome of our largo music stores. In 1S3S be opened a book store and circulating library iu Louisvillo, which drew most of tho reading public to his establishment. Iu this way be becamo acquainted with many nf the "Shining Lights" of that age, in tho literary cir cles of tho south. In 1S42, assisted by Beu Ci-eidy and J. Hose Crow uo bo afterward became a great traveler and was U. S minister to China for many years), Mr. Lyons began tho publication of "The Litorary Casket" devoted entirely uClitcrature and art. Iu June 1849 he was married to Miss Virginia Putnam of Lexington, Ky., and with her camo to Oregon, ar riving at their destination in May, 1S53. They came by wav of Panama and San Fraucisco. In Portland they bought wagon and yoke of oxen and were eleven days coming to where Chas. F. Putnam lives near Drain. Air. Lyons took up land near there,"but he soon found that he was deficient in two very important accomplishments necessary tu the farmer of that day milking cows and mawling rails, so ha moved to Scottsburg, then a thriving business center, aud s arted a newspaper about the sire of tho Plain DEALstn, (both sides being printed at home) called The Uuipuua '.Gazette, the first copy being issued April, 1554. It is interesting now to look over it and see the names of men who then lived in Scottsbnrg, but who afterward became known throughout Oregon, many of whom, like tho subject of this sketch, have since passed over to the silent majority. Among Ihoje mentioned are A. C. Gibbs, S. F. Chadwick. Judge Stratton, G. S. Hinsdale, D. W. Stearns, L. Ij. Williams. Geo. Haines, Levi Kent, Gen. Joa. Drew, Jas. Cooper, S. S Mann, and many others. The Gazel'e was short lived, for out side news was too scarce for it to prove a succe 6, so the press was sold to some parties who took it to Jacksonville. In 1S57 Mr. Lyons bought tho Scolte barc hotel from Captain Levi Scott, and continued in tho business until Jaunary 1SS1, when he inoved tu Marshtield and resided there .with the exception of threo years Bent at Gardiner) up to the time of his death. Until uuite recently he had a moel wondeifui memory and was a fino con versationalist, always having been great reader he was well posted on cur rent events, besides having au almost inexhaustible fund of stories and anec dotes, both personal and historical. He lived to a ripe old age, and died at peace with God and man, loved and respected bv all who knew him Opera House Tonight.
