Sanctuarv, in the superabun dance of his generosily, presented je editor with a cake about 4 x 4 x l.l4 inches, or. say. :M cubic inches of N er mont maple sugar, "pure qnill." If the droppings of all the Sanctuaries ere as sweet as this we opine mere wouiu oe more set beneath them, than we now witness. It is aid that Cash Trask. the jonng man who found the dead body of Fen Adams Monday morning, dreamed on Sundav nicht that he saw the body on the riffles in the river, where lie actually found it. If this be so, the co incidence is remarkable. '"There aie more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in jou: philosophy."

Last nUht at band practice the K. of P. Bind was presented with a Land some silk banner, by Alpha Lodge Nc. 47, Knights of Pythias. Knight Thos. Gibson made the presentation speech in the most eloquent manner and highly complimented the band, his eloquence beinc doubtless inspired by the sweet mnsic he had jest been listening to. Knizhts Zisler and Appelhoff re sponded in behalf of the band, in brief and appropriate speeches. The banner is ct tiifc. in the colors emblematic ot the order, with the following inscription neatly painted tbeieon: "Oar Band, Alpha Lodge, No. 47, K. of P., Roseburg, Oregon." Remember this, says an exchange No peddler doea anything to help the town. He gives nothing to schools or chnrche or public enterprifes. He pays no taxes. He has nothing in com mon with our people. He can swindle yoa often does, and you can't help yourself. He has no store down the street to which yon" can return goods that are not up to the new sample. The itinerant merchant has no reputation to sustain. He can cheat joa with im punity. The home merchant is and does different. He bears his eh ire of the expense of good government. When a subscription paper is passed he is the first approached. He bntlds a home which enhances the value of all pro perty. He helps pay for the church in which you worship, and the school to which yon send your children. He can not afford to misrepresent his goods or swindle you. From Wednesday's Daily . Thos. Castor of Rice Hill is in the city today. C. C. Verrill of Myrtle Creek U at the Van Houten. N. Selig of Myrtle Creek is registered at the McClallen. Tho K.

Mr. Hermann secured this servira for our city for tho lust five years and to him the citizens owo all the advantages and convenience! of tins Ireo delivery service. Now th people will have to come to tho office to deposit or receive their mail. The luxes at the five stations are taken down and laid aside, and we opine great will bo tho people's disapoinlment. but there is no great loss without some gain. Drop lptfpra will hereafter be oaly one cent whereas under the tiee delivery bysteni they were two cents each. RIDDLE. FREE TRADE AND FREE SILVER. Four vear ago the democrats said Give tis free trade and prosperity will be assuted." They got a free trade president and the Wilson tariff, a thing of "perfidy and dishonor," that Cleve land would not sign but al.owed to Ue come a liw with all its perfidy and dis honor. Yes. democracy said: "Give us free trade and new industries will ooau." But they closed. They S3id rive ui free trade, and we will get in creased employment. But laborers are idle. They said give us free trade and wares will rite But wages went down Tuev said give us free trade and busi ness will bjom. I'.at business '-busted In the lisht of that experience they sse that free trade is a fallacy, a sham a delr.sion and a snare. Now they are shouting for free silver, and promising that with that, business will boom, lac toriej hum with activity, mines will yield their untold wealth, farmers be come lordly, merchants independent and common laborers contented and hippy. All this we are promised, and more, to vote the democratic ticket. Bat ly the light of past experience can you do it. Democratic promises are like the cooks pie-crust made to be broken. The promise of free stiver coinage is a ruM to detract the unwary away from the issue that most concerns the Ameri can citizen. Don't be hoolwinked aud cajoled by side issues. It is the policy of the leaders of free silventes to rise up an issue to carry them into a good far office with big salary, ittle work and sure pay. The crv of free silver is another dodge to catch votes, just as was the free trade cry foar years ago, and, if successful, will farther depress business and cause farther distress amongst the paople.

Fullerton : e, the crand jury, submit the following re port : We have examin J carefully into the different alleged clai ms which have been brought to o'-r knowledge and re turned indictments in those cate3 only where we thou4ht the evidence would warrant a conviction.

The general impression here is that it won't amoantto much, althou.:h it is possible the cropping are from a rich body of silver ore. If it is worth anything, it has the advantage of being easily acces- ible, as it is not more than two miles from a railroad station. Mrs. Thos. Maslield has been visiting friends and relatives for several days, but has now returned to her home near Schofield. Mra. Settle of Oakland was down last week in the interest of the millinery trade. The Masonic picnic on Smith river was attended by several persons from our section, and juite a crowd col lected on the Lva to attend freni Gardiner but low water prevented them from getting to the grounds until about o'clock in the afternoon, and there was bat little time left before time for re turning.

Cures for the Booze Habit. A now cute for intoxication is on trial at a New York hospital, and thus far, with apparently great success. Tho in ventor declares that it is n specific against not only drunkeness, but also the morphiuo and cocaino habits, re storing the patient to his normal condi tion and taking away all desire for tho stimulant to which ho had been ad dicted. If all this is true and there aro no injarious effects attaching to tho use of the remedy itself, it must bo classed as ono of the most beneficent discover ies of tho age, hut thero havo been bo many Eiich nostrums announced with a llourish of trumpets at that, which after ward proved to bo either of but moder ate efficacy or even positively harmful, that it is best to await tho most convin cing tests before believing that tho long- sought pos3itiye euro for drunkonncsa has actually bjen discovered at last. Sheep dip at MarBterB. Runaway. Albort Baldwin's team ran away this morning. Ho camo up from Winchoster and drove Into the yard in tho rear of Marks' store and began to unhitch his team and had three tugs unhitched when one of the horses stepped up which al lowed the tonguo to drop.

Although IMr. Baldwin held on l Iho linc3 the horsc3 in their friuhl became uuiuauagcablo and ran across to JackEon street over a vacant lot dragging tho wagon by ono tug till the tonguo ran under tho Bidewalk.
