YONCALLA. io.ncalla, Sept. 8. Thoro aro lovely town sites in Douglas county, and Yon- calla is one of tho most attractive. It is on the broadening of a urand valley with level and rolling lands. Tho villago is beautified by its surroundings of hill, treo and boulder gray, and sloping oung orchards, and trim cottages, and uear the confines of tho town n majestic school houso Btands monarch of all it surveys, Church Bpires eccm as guards, aud stores and shops and comely dwellings congro- gate. G. A. Burt settled hero in 1850 and Yoncalla is built on his donation claim. Tho S. P. Railway camo through in 18J and ho gave tho company forty-eight acres for a town silo, and had to buy back lots for his dwelling. Iho placo grew grandly a while when litigation im- psded progress until somo of tho con- testants went to their long homes; then threo years ago tho place aroso from its Rip Van Winkle liko oleep and has been adding to its growth ever since. Yoncalla has a 53003 school houre, rresbyterian anil Al. l:. cuureues, auu Bantist and Chris tan organizations, it has the A. 0. II. W. lodge, G. A. R. Post and Women's Relief Corps, and a social. Intelligent iieople garnered from all parts of the Union. It has four general stow, two hard- ware stores, ono drug store, millinery and racket store, a lurnilure anu narness stiop, blacEsmttii cnop, meat market, two hotels and livery, and postofDcc, tel- egraph and Wells Fargo offices. It has three grain warehouses with an aggregate capacity for 13.0C0 bushels of wheat, oats and bailey, which are tho chief crops of tho region. Tbe orchards, chielly prune, are young and promising, and pears, peaches and plums aro likely to roward the owners, J. . ise, Bon Huntington, II. C. and S.

A few miles from Yoncalla are the Boswcll springs, a capital summer resort, rich in remedial waters which are hipped to Cili'ornb, over Oregon and Washington, and this is only one of the many little towns in Djuglas county which combine the grandeurs of Nature with good soil, pure water and all the elements which make lovely and happy homes. Yoncalla receives two mails a day and hss four pasieoger and two freight trains all carrying passengers, and tho roatL are in excellent driving cenditiou. The postoffico is a model of ne.itncs and dis patch and is located in tho business home of H. D. Yett, who is also post master and ens of the liveliest business men in tho county. His mercantile house is HO feet in length and ii amply stocked. His w&rchsnse proves this is a great poultry country as therefrom are shipped hundreds of dozens of e?gs a week, and produce of ever description seems to center there. 11 I). Yett is a native of Tcnncisce and narrowlv escaped being a North Carolinian. Ho came to Oregcn in '51 and settled in Doualas county anil hi? been successful in everything he under took, including teaching, farming, stock- raising and merchandising.

ON ti; Orlclnal Gliost tit From a Case of Fratricide- Hotv the Santa Fe Spook Was Lalil-Uow a STan With the "Jim Jam" Stirred Up a Jail Full or Criminal. It may bo truo that couscieiico makes. awards of us all, but with tho ignorant ml superstitious conscienco is not a cir- enmstanco when compared to a vivid imagination. Tho greatest coward on earth ia tho person who sees in ovory dark sliadow, in each deserted houso and around every dismal building tho rest less spirit of somo departed sinnor whose crimes will not allow him to enter heaven, who is doomed to wander around this earth until Gabriel's trumpet is Bounded, who must hover near tho scene his former misdeeds until tho last day. Tho place by popular consent most adapted to ghost wanderings -and the placo most fruitful in tho production of tho bona fido articlo is naturally the graveyard. Tho drearier, gloomier and more mournful tho aspect of tho grave yard tho more ghosts. But the real be liever in spooks and spirits docs not deem it necessary to go among the tombs and graves of the dead to find a spirit Ghosts are numerous. They can d found in all sections of tho country. There la not a Tillage nor a deserted country houso nor a railroad bridge but has its ghost But tho ghosts aro not all confined to tho country by any means. There havo been several in Kansas City that havo gained extensivonotoriety on account of their many visitations, and tho parts of tho city in which they aro wont to disport themselves aro still eyed with suspicion and looked upon aakanco by the inhabitants of Belvmere Hollow, Hick's Hollow and other por tions of the city thickly settled by the descendants of Ham. The oldest, the original ghost tbat is most vividly in the memory of the su perstitious and is most often the topio of grewsome whispers among the people mentioned, waUced the levee between Main street and Broadway 12 years ago. One winter s night, tho fctory goes, a man was lying in wait for an enemy on tho levee. In his hand he clutched ponderous doublo barreled shotgun loaded with nails and slugs. He saw a man walkinz down tho levee. In the dim, flickering light he thought he rec ognized his enemy. Ho raised his gun, fired and hurried away. Tho next day he read in tho papers that ld3 brother's body had been found on tho levee, hor ribly mangled and torn. Tho mnrdcrer winced, bet kept his secret. Then the doad brother's ghost begmi to walk. Ev- crv nieht, at the eamo hour of the shooting, it could bo seen cn tho levee. Each time it would walk btraight to the spot where tho body had fallen. Then tho ghost would fall, go through a death strogglo and disappear. It kept this up for years, and there aro these who say it docs it stilL Tho second healthy, well developed ghost disported itself in tho ruins of the old Santa Fo Stago Coach company's of fice at Second and Main streets in 1S86, So generally known did it become that often largo crowds would congregate and await tho appearance of the nocturnal visitor. Early one evening a young man who wished to investigate a little went into tho ruins. When ho emerged from them an hour later, ho found a large crowd standing on tho opposite side of tho street, near the jail, watching for ghosts. Somo ono in the crowd, thinking that tho young man had been playing ghost, threw a brick at tho investigator. striking him on the head. Ho fell sense less with a gaping wound in his head. Tho Santa Fo ghost has not been seen since. In 1S87 there was a story afloat that at 12 o'clock each night a ghostly cable train glided down tho incline between Walnut and Main streets and disappear ed into space. In tho grip car, guiding tho train, wa3 the ghost of a gnpman who had died a short time before, after having been insane for somo time, the result of grief over tho fact that his train had run down and killed a pedestrian. Crowds congregated at the junction nichtlr to seo tho stranco sight. For the most part they went away disappointed, altbongh there was plenty who declared they had seen "it. Another storv, in which a ghost was never seen, but which smacked strongly of spooks, was tho Conway murder on East Eighteenth street, between Oak and Locnst, in 1SS5. Mrs. Conway, a young woman, and her little girl wcro beaten to death with a coupling pin. The mur derer or murderers wcro never caught. Suspicion pointed toward two men, but thcro was no evidence. Both of them afterward died horrible deaths ono of tho danders and tho other of cancer. Tho ghost of tho victims never walked openly, but that section of tho city was given a wido berth by tho trao believ ers for inanv months afterward. Last, but not least, were tho ghosts ot Clark mid Jones, tho men hung for mur- dcrinK Mme. Wright m 1893. Theso ghosts materialized in tho jails, ono at Independence and ono in lvausas mry. Tho scaro lasted for somo weeks, and tho negro prisoners wero thrown into a stato of terror by any straugo sounds. One night, when the jail was m a stato of comnarativc quiet, a arunKeu pris oner, who had just been brought in, had ui attack of "limiams.' By some stranco coiucnteuco no was pmcvu m tLo cell once occupied by Clark, and the prisoners soon located tho groaning of the unfortunate man. ino negroes, not knowinc that the cell was occupied, sup posed that tho uoiso was mado by a do- parted spirit, and all started to howling with tho "ghost. " xno enect was some thing that can bo imagined better than it can bo described. Sinco tho Clark riiost left tho jail Kansas City has been bereft of spirits, and Belvidcro Hollow is breathing nioro easily than it has lor years. Kansas City Times. City Treasurer's Notice.

Today is thy birthday, darling, Or would be, if thou wert on earth, How sadly I count the birthdays That have passed since thy heavenly birth. Oh happy, thrice happy spirit, Born into everlasting rest, would not, if I could, recall thee From those fair mansions of the blest. Yet, if one little, whispered word Could come to greet my listening ear, Oh how my raptured heart would thrill, To feel that sometimes thou wert near. But, sb, the lips once closed in death, Forever silent are, and still, Go loving words they eyer bring Across the river dark and chill. I hear the river's rippling wave, I hear the shadowy boatman's oar, As one by one the loved ones go. And they return to me no more. But when the heavenly morning dawns, And all earth's shadows flee away, We'll meet again to part no more, Through all the bright, eternal day. To part no more, ob, precious thought, No tear of sorrow or of pain, We'll ever ebed in tbat fair land, Where I shall clasp thy hand again, Then fare thee well a little while, For He who doeth all things well, Hath promised us they shall return, Who underneath bis shadow dwell.
