DECORATION EXERCISES.
Decoration day Iiob become oce of tlio
legal liolidaj s of tho nation. lTion that
day patriotic men and women lay upon
tho altar of llicir country, ttibulea of do
ration to tho Hag of tho nation. Upon
thia day they asremble at Euitable places
to do homage to the brave hearts who
faced tho perils of war to save their
country.
The celebration of the achievements of
onr patriotic dead who gave their lives a
willing facriCce for tho cause of liberty,
was observed st this placo in a very ap
propriate way, as outlined in the pro
gramme. Tho music by the choir was veiy fine ;
tho prayer by Rev. .. W. Kennedy was
very feelingly and elequently made ; tLo
memorial addreaa by E. D. Stratford was
grand, eloquent and sublime, and
abounded in many elecant periods and
elicited much applause. It was an able
address and was highly appreciated. Tho
closing prayer and benediction by Roy.
G. Y. Black was a feeling invocation to
the Supreme Ruler of tho universe for
continued blessing- TLo concluding ex
ercises were held at the Soldiers' Home
at 2 o'clock p. in , after which wero dec
orated the graves of the dead sleeping
their sleep in tho cemeteries, whether
friends or fees.

The Reyiew, in Mouday's paper,
printed Saturday, gives vent in a double
leaded paragraph to a raw-hcad-and-bloody-bones-sesre-crow,
stating that
"the A. P. A.'s purpose to blow up or
burn out the Review cflice provided the
ticket is beaten." Such a statement is
too silly and absurd for even a child to
believe. But like all th Review's ut
terances in thi? campaign, it appeals to
prejudices, ignorance, superstition and
lies to effect its ultimate purposes. The
Review, conscious of its own ultimate de
signs to blow up ths Pl-vixdealeb should
the anti-A 1. A.'s bs beaten, and gan
grened with this spirit of revengo nat
urally concluded it is threatened by a
like fate. We understand the Review
keeps a nightwatch to guard it from
dynamite. It is said by one of old:
"The wicked flee when no man pursueth
them, but the righteaua are as bold as a
lion."
BRIEF MENTION.
The Review ever watchful of an oppor
tunity to injsre us in business prints a
damnable lie by printing Tuia week a
collection of over $300 was ent here
against the concern, and it threw the A.
P. A. basses into a panic for fear of an
attachment that would close np tbeir
mouth piece," and that finally 'a sub
scription paper was circulated among
the faithfnl and about $153 was raised to
stave off the itnpjnding disaster." This
is a contemptible lie, bath as to raising
money by subscription and also as to the
note being sent lor collection. The fact
is the First National Bask purchased our
note at a discount long before it was due,
but upon presentation it was paid.
The Renew tries to centralize the ef
fect of the I'uuukalee's editorial on
the city government, in regard to the
sewerage contract, by trying to show
that the Plaj.vde-M.ek advocate! the mea
sure before the contract was made creat
ing the debt referred to, and also tbe
contract for the electric light proposition.
That is half the truth. It did not advo
cate the letting of a contract of inch
magnitude for a sewer, and of such mag'
nitnde and unreasonable time as was en
tered into for electric light purposes, as
tbat agreed upon. And in tbe second
place, the present editor of the Plais
d Caleb was not then its editor.

Speaks Volumes,
Tho fact that a once famous Kentucky
school for young women must close its
doora on account of Breckinridge and his
apologists is a tribute to the decent worn
anhood of tho country. Few American
mothers were deceived by tho sophistries
of tho bench and bar that wero uttered in
behalf of the smirched Kentuckian. They
saw him as ono of the greatest whitcd
sepulchres in his day, and naturally did
not prefer to have their daughters under
intluences that regarded him ns an hon
orable member of society. Miss Pol
lard's revenge has been far-reaching, and
what is better, it has been salutary. As
a warning, Breckinridge ia a shining
light.

Mind Reading.
Prof. Tyndall, tbe mind reader, per
formed some wonderful tests before a
good siied audience of ladies and gentle
men at the Opera House, Friday night
The faculty of reading the thoughts of
others under certain conditions was
demonstrated beyond dispute While
blindfolded, be woold find any object
secreted, however small, describe the
person, give tbe color of their clothes,
point out the identical sjKjt where on
object had been mado to touch a person,
give lhe color ot a ribbon which had
been placed around a lady's neck and
discribes the person around whose neck
Uie ribban had been placed. All these
and he did with unerring accuracy. By
what subtle power he did these things
is all a mystery. The professor will
give evidence of hypnotism and clair
voyance tonight.
Saturday Prof. Tyndall, the cele
brated mind reader, performed one of his
testa cf finding a secreted ring which bad
been bidden by a committee of ladies,
viz.: Mrs. Chas. Curry, Mies Rose
Buahey, Mrs. E. G. McCaskey and
Miss Edith Imbler, accompanied by
Asher Marks, persons above suspicion of
being guilty of deception.
Mrs. Anna Gray and Mies Stella
Harmon blindfolded Prof. Tindall in the
McClallen parlors while the secreting
committee were out. Immediately upon
tbe return of the secreting committee,
Prof. Tyndall got into the carriagedrawn
by a spirited team of blacks from A.
Marks' livery and drove at a rapid rate,
following the precise route taken by the
secreting committee, and halted in front
of tho drug store and went in and imme
diately climbed upon one of tho shelves
and secured a gold ring that was secreted
there. This is regarded by all who wit
nessed it as a sure test of tho professor's
powers of mind reading.

SILVER A LEGAL TENDER.
In aa much as it has been asserted
upon the streets ot Roseburg by popu

viewed tho agent here on that subject,
who informs us that ho will take silver
in any amount tendered for railroad
services. We are also informed that
the Canadian Pacific R. R. Co. has in
structed its employees lo take all Ameri
can silver dollars for services on its road,
because it will bring the gold from Uncle
Sam. But they aro instructed not to
