THE COURT HOUSE CROWDED With Men and Women Eager to Hear the Senator's Views on the Issues of the Day. Friday, at 3 p. m., K. W. Benson, chairman of Douglas County Central Re publican committee, with Senator Mitch ell, euterod the court room and were re ceived with cheering by the vast audi ence, crowded in like sardines. Every foot of available space was occupied long beforo the hour set for tho ejeech. Mr. Benson called the meeting to order and named Judge L. Loughary lo introduce tho Senator to tho audience, which was done in an appruprhita speech of only three minutes. At 3:15, tho Senator etepped to tho front of the platlorin and for two hours and ten minutes held bis vast audience nrapt with intense cuterest, whilo he elucidated with unanswerable logic, based upon the facts of history, the creat principles of the republican party, carrying conviction t- every unpreju diced mind that the great American system protection to American labor, American manufactures aud American industrial iuterests is the correct sys tem cf govt-rument. Mr. Mitchell reviewed iu brief the colonial government, showing tint the great measure of a stable government clothed with ample powers for self-protection, wan the all absorbing subject with those patriots. They finally formed a more solid compact, our present con stitution, investing tho government with plenary power to levy duties on imports, to coin money and regulate the value thereof. Under the colonial confedera tion it bad no such power. Each state or colony legislated on those subjects, and as a result, for the six years preceding the adoption of the constitution, indus trial ruin to the people resulted. The people were at the mercv of foreign manufacture'. But by tho adoption of the constitu tion, congress was clothed with an au thority to rejulale commerce with for eign nations aud amongst tho states and thus protect the rights of the people. Tne first coogreae under this constitution enacted a law providing for import du ties which received the sanction of Washington. Since that time there has been the two parties having direct op posite views on the subject of import duties or tariff. One, a protection party, tho other, an ant-protection party. The protection party was represented first, by the old federals, then by the old whig and now by the republican party. The anti-protection party is known as the democrat party. He then reviewed the history of each aud proved by historical facta that under theanti-protcctiou party the people enffered financially, and that under the protection system the people enjoyed greater prosperity. Ho referred to tho (act that Mr. Bryan, the demo-cratic-populiet party's candidate, is an avowed Irea trader and that Mr. McKin ley the republican candidate is an avowed and earnest a3 well as able pro tectionist. Which will yau choose? In response to this question the audience shouted McKinley ! The history of this government on the subject of tariff and free trade is written in a few words. "Under protection, prosperity under free trade, depression and financial dis tress." Under protection, with but a few exceptions, which aro attributed to other accidental causes, the nation exported more than it imported, and prospered; wfcile as a rule, under frco trade or "low tariff" the nation imported more than it exported, aud hence distress of tho peo ple. Mr. Mitchell then turned his attention to the "sound money" question. He said that tho word sound as applied to money has a new meaning and when properly defined means only "good money which ho thought even populists or Bryan democrats would accept. Mr. Mitchell then took up the mouey plank of tho republican St. Louis plat form aud showed that it is iu favor of both gold and silver and cited the fact that the democrat party never was in favor of free silver coinage and that their tutelar political father, Thomas Jefferson, stopped tho coinage of silver for 30 years and that for near three fourths of a century, ni03t of that time under a democratic, government, tho government coined but little over 8,000,- 000 silver dollars, while under republi can administrations we have coined over -103,000,000 silver dollars besides several millions of subsidiary silver halves, quartets and dimes. Mr. Mitchell claims to be, not in favor of a double standard but of a single bi nietahc standard ono standard, the dollar represented by both cold and silver upon tho present basis until, as declared by tho St. Louis platform, an agreement can bo effected with the leading commercial nations of the ti ... . woriu. tuero one u. . uenger in terrupted him by citing bin "railroad to Mars" speech.; The senator soon si lenccd him by going him ono bolter eaying that, so loug us a democrat eat in tho Whilo Houso it would bo as iiupossi bio to get an international agreement for free silver coinago aa it would bo to build a railroad to Neptune, 500,000,000 iuiIch away. If Mckinley ih elected, ho pledges himeolf to promote such a moasuro on tho pari of tho United Stateo. Tho re publicauk have made silver and its paper equal to gold and pledges to keep them equal. It has kept ovory pledgo it has made, when in a position to do so, and it stands pledged to keep silver and paper of the future on an equality with tho best money in existence, lot that be what it may. Mr. Mitchell whs heartily applauded every few moments during the delivery of his speech. It was ono of the most forcible and convincing speeches over delivorcd to a Roseburg audience. At tho close of his speech, one patriotic lady, Mrs. Julia Abraham, presented him with a magnificent boquet of beautiful flowers as a tokeii of hor appreciation of his splendid presentation of republican ism. DEDICATION Or THE OREOON SOLDIERS' HOME HOSPITAL. Thursday at 2 :30 o'clock ot tho Sol diers' Homo as previously annouced, the Oregou Soldiers' Home hospital, just completed, was dodicated and set apart for the accomodation of tho sick and disabled occupants of tho Home. There were present the members of the Metho dist conference. Thero were present about 'JOO persons. Rev. G. W. Gue made a very interesting address and re cited a poem iu fine elocutionary style. Bishop Earl Cranston delivered the dedicatory address. It was vory hne and full of Christian sympathy. His address was followed by a song by a choir of singers that was highly appreci ated. Col. S. B. Ormsby, president of the board of trustees, was next intro duced. Ho said in part, ''As the Meth odist conference through Bishop Crans ton had addressed the veteran soldiers, io would address tho Methodist confer ence," which he did in a unique style. For a whilo tho tenor of his remarks caused tho clergymen lo "look two ways for Sunday," but the gallant colonel let them down from the height he had raised them as gracefully as he had boldly lifted them to a giddy height overhangiug a precipice, and they breathed easier, seeing tho speaker had suffered them to retain their eclcsiasti- cal cuticles intact, when he had done. The colonel is an adapt in the use of irony, sarcasm and eulogy. He can flay a person and make him figuratively lick the hand that skins him. Col. B. F. Alley followed Col. Ormsby in a fine (en minutes speech with a brief history of the passage of an act of the legislature creating and appropriating mouey to build the Home. He closed with touching eulogy of Col. Ormsby, to whom is due the erection of this beauti ful Home for the soldiers who stood a living wall between traitors and the old flag, in which the few recusing years of their lives they can be cared for. Hon. Binger Hermanu was next pre sented and made a brief address, pre senting as it were, a psnorama of the scenes in which the soldier had promi nently figured, "tenting on the cold, cold ground" harratEed by foee, suffering in prison pens or parched by fever with no friendly hand of mother, Bia'.er or wife to minister to his suffering or offer words of consolation in his distress. The dedicatory ceremonies were very pleasantly conducted by the affable Com mandant W. U. Byars, who we learn has managed affairs with great economy and satisfaction to the board of trustees, who Lave just closed a session of audi- ing accounts and msj'ectiog the man agement of this institution.

Claiming to give his hearers s-lid facts, he asked the momentous quesion: How a reduction ol six per cent on uu average on the McKiuley tariff by the Wilson tariff, could bring upon tho American people such a distress as we now have? viz: wheat and cotton down 50 per cent, and said he, what effect could that have upon prices in Europe the whole world? He quoted McKinley as saying prior to 1800, that prices of products wero depressed un paralleled all over tho world. So they were, and especially in the United StateB before the McKinley tariff was passed. Ed. He said there were more strikes be tween 1873 and 1892 than before or since. He tried to show tho fallacy of over production being the cause of low prices, and then in a le sentences fol lowing declared that all prices are regu lated by supply and demand. Silver, he said, was sound money up lo 1873. Then silver money was demonetized and depression of business began and cul minated in 1893-4 from causes oppent ting since 1873. (Twenty years before.) Ho then drew a sorrowful picture of the nuor man, with a mortgage on the little home he had worked hard so many years to make comfortable, and then was kicked out of doors by a money shark, j It was indeed a sad picture, one which excited his lachrymal gland with such' Eorrow that he actually shed tears over the poor old man's sorrowful fate "turned out of doors to beg or go to the poor house" Applause by Mr. Genger. Ho f aid all the financial ruin in the world is the result of going to a gold standard, and free coinage of silyer would remedy the evil, whiten the seas with ships, start the spindles and looms, light the fires in the furnaces, open the mines silyer mines?) and send joy and gladness lo the hearts of the laboring men. Ho talked about sheep ''the bell wether and a'tbat) crossing a creek. Bryan wears the bell and leads for cheap money in which the United States are the most interested. The world looks to us to lead the way. Germany, England and France will follow. There may be panics before, but if we pass the third day of November the day of panics will bs past. The gold bugs, he said, are robbers. They havo robbed you of your hard earned money, wrung from you by fraud and distortion. Go voto them down and wring from them their illgotten gains. He said : I would strike my own brother who bad thrust bi3 hand into my pocket. Great applause., 'The other fellows have plenty of money, tnat is wby you suouiu vote against them." Bryan, if elected, will be under obliga'ions to the laboring men and will favor them. If McKiuley is elected he will favor the rich Haunas, and you will be shackeled for all time voto for prosperity not for mortgages and bard times. Tho judge during his hour' and a half speech never alluded to the flag nor com mended the soldier who preserved the Union, Notice. The undersigned has appointed as his deputy, W. s.

A famous Montana character is Char- Ho Allard of Ravalli. Mr. Allard Is fa mous mainly because ho Is one of the owners of tho largest herd of buffalo in tho country, and no man living has given to these now rare animals more patient study and attention than he. Tho coldest storms of winter do not trouble them," ho says, "for their thick, shaggy coats are windproof. During tho heavy snows and blizzards they climb tho hills, and turning their breasts to tho wind defy the storm. They feed whero the snow is thinnest Cattlo are driven before a storm and will often go with a wind 60 or 100 miles from tho accustomed range unless they reach a sheltered spot Horses turn their backs to a storm, hut tho buffaloes face it every time. They seen to keep in about tho same condition of flesh tho year round and ore as good eating in the spring as they are in tho fall, and a buffalo steak is about a3 fine a morsel as ever a man made a meal of. About two years ago I purchased the Jones hejd of buffalo, which was nt Omaha. Thero were 31 of them in the herd, and wo paid (for I have a partner now)?18,- 000 for tho lot Marchiel Pablo, a well known cattleman, has joined me in tho business and for the past year has had entire charge of them, so that I do not know just exactly how many we have about 140, I should judge, now, and by next fall thero will bo fully 200 of them. "Wo have experimented in crossing buffalo with all breeds of cattle, and tho results aro most satisfactory. The Polled Angus stock when crossed with the buffalo produces a magnificent ani mal. Tho fur is finer and closer than that of tho buffalo, aud the meat is sweet and wholesome. We aro produc ing as many of theso animals as possi ble, but will not put any on the market for several years yet We are not selling auy bnffalo either, for the reason that wo need them all at present. We re ceive letters every day from museums, parks and shows wanting them in nil qt .ntities, and though we might dis pose of ono or two singly we havo no pairs to selL "A good buffalo hide is worth 100 now in tno market and heads bring from $200 tD $300 when mounted, and the value of theso is steadily increasing, so that buffalo breeding is as good an investment as real estate. Onr herd it about the only one I know of any Eize. There is a small one iu the Texas panhandle, and these, with the few that roam in the national park, are the solo remuauts of tho thousands which roamed tho prairies but a few years ago.' Anaconda (Alou.) btandanL TWO INVENTIONS IN ONE. The Kinrtugrspli the Latest Marrel Turn ed Out br Kilison. "Wo arc progressing, progressing," said Thomas A. Edison to a Boston Herald representative when informed that his retreat had been invaded for tho purpose of getting information con cerning the latet and greatest of his tnvciitiou-s" the cue which is being eagtrly awaited and which very few have had a chauco to see that is, tht combination of the phonograph with the biuetoscope, the contrivance to which Mr. Edi&ou applied the term kinetograph on this occasion. "The object of this machine," he said, "is to afford the spectator two in ventions in one that is, two senses are simultaneously appealed to. Suppose, wo will say, an opera is to bo reproduc ed. Tho phonograph already repeats the sound. Tho kinetoscopo afterward af fords a view of tho movements. Xow, however, we wish to combine the twA and combiuo them far more effectively than ever their distinct elements have heretofore been rendered by separate in struments. "Thus, if ouo wished to hear aud see the concert or tho opera, it would only bo necessary to sit down at home, look upon a sceuo aud see tho performance reproduced exactly in every movement and at the same time tho voices of the players aud singers, the music of the orchestra, tho various sounds that ac compauy a performance of this sort, will bo reproduced exactly. Tho end attained is a perfect illusion. Ono really hears aud sees tho play, because the conditions necessary to tho suitable im pressions upon tho eyo and car are ob tained." An Unlucky Draw. Don Simplicio, to dispel the clouds ot melancholy that cast a gloom over his spirits, has taken to theater going. "Ernaui" was produced, and everybody spoko highly of tho performance, our hero among tho rest "But thero is one fault about it," h said on coming out of tho house on 9 evening. "What is it?" "I'll tell you. Iu the third uct, where the conspiracy takes place, they draw lots to ascertain which of them is to kill Charles V. Now, what was drawn tho first night? Ernani. And tho second? Ernaui. And tho third? Ernani again. Always Ernani. Six nights rnnningl Now, that's unlikoly on the face of it For tho samo name to bo drawn once or twice may pass, but six times running that is too much." His remarks wero received with a regular ovation. Giornalo delle Donne. Scott's Favorites. Scott believed that "Waverley" was his best novel and tho "Lady of the Lako" his best poem.
