The business men ol Roaaburg are active, wideawake meo. When busi ness ia dull in their several shops tbey go to the bowling alley, poll off their costs and sweat like grabbers at a game of cocked bat.

He has the faculty of insinu ating his proboesis Into the house of rep resentatives and breathing upon the on saorn members his upas breath whlcb renders them insensible to all sense of propriety, justice sod honor. They can kick and grunt and howl that's all. Not a few who read what Mr. Robert Rowla, of Holland, Va., baa to say be low, will remember tbeir own experi ence under like circumstances: "Last winter I bad la grippe which left me in a low state ot health. I tried numer ous remedies, none of which did me any good, uutil I Was induced to try a bottle of Charoberlaih'a Cough Remedy. Tbe 6rst bottle of it ao far relieved me that 1 waa enabled to attend to my work, and tbe second bjttle effected a cure." For sale at and 60 cents par bottle by A. C. Marstets A Co. W. A.

Shambook ol the firm of Kruse A Sbambrook, near the poatofflce, saw a bright glare of fire suddenly flame up in D. S. K. Buick's office on tbe opposite Bide ot the street. Mr. Sbambrook ran across the street and proceeded to throw the oil stove out, which bad exploded, throwing the oil oat on the floor mat which waa all aflame when he en tered. Alter throwing out the bttrsted atove, he began tea'ing up the floor mat and smothering the Harass, which he did In a 'Jew seconds and thus averted what might have bran a conflagration As appears, Mr. Buick had lit tbe burners of his coal oil atove and went up town on business, and was In blissful ig- noranco of the possible closing of bis of fice in bis absence by tbe process of fire Stands at the Head.

BENSON AT WORK. Davis Adjourns From Day to Day and the Fare Oocs On. Halem, Jan. 27, 1807. Tbe house that organised last week with II L. Bensoo as speaker dost not asem quite sure of Its ground, ftince the failure of the senate to reeogolae tbe organization as a co-ordinate branch it seems lo doubt its own ability aud takes its steps haltingly. On Monday there was much curiosity about the tenate. "Will the senate recognize the house aa at present organised," was a quest loo that greeted the ears of lobbyist as well at member and tbe answer in every case waa conjoctnral. The chief clerk of the temporary, or Davie house, bad sent a Communication to the senate Informing that body that there was no proper or ganization of tbe bouse. Tbe uouaual document was read and made a part of tbe senate record without comment. Subsequently a meesago wu received from tbe Benson house, bat this tbe president declined to put before tbe eon ate. He, however, informed tbe senate wbat it waa and laid if the tenate de ll red to reverse' him and consider tbe mesiage it could do eo. No move was made and tbe incident passed. The Beoson house wai ignored. This waa a disappointment. The lobby expected a dltcoasion and a vote. Senator King in Irodanad a raaolnlioo to provide for tbe appointment of a committee to go over and see what wai the matter. The reso lution fallei to paai by a tie vote chiefly on the ground that It wai irrtgular. Every senator oo the floor knew just ex actly what was tbe matter and the ap pointment of a committee of inquiry was superfluous, though It might make tbe fact of the tangle in the house a matter of record in tbe senate. Tha members of the boie themselves, especially during the p4t day or two, appear to be realizing tbat this bouse, as at protect constituted, Is powerless to ac complish any sort of legislation and, per consequence, any act performed by it ia not only irregular but void, aod are ap- parantly waiting for some one to take tbe lead and theo there will be a general breaking away, not necessarily from Sen ator Mitchell, but aim ply from the or ganization aa at preaent constituted. It is the intent, so said, of the Jfitcheli managers, to endeavor to hold the house together till next Tuesday aod then get tome sort of a vote on United State Sen ator if a majority of both houses can be got together. This Is doubtful, because, hile Mr. Mitchell has just a majority ol all the members who are ready to vote lor him, B)ine want tbat opportunity to come about in tbe regular way, and will not go into convention except one pro vided lor by concurrent resolution passed by both houeee in regular session and properly organized, etylog tbey have taken an oath to support tho constitu tion and will support its spirit as well as ita letter. An evidence ot the lack ol quorum, that ia of course, il it ia admitted that (orty is two-thirda ot sixty, came op in tbe bouse Tuesdsy. A motion was made to suspend tbe rules and read the bill by title. Tbe vote resulted: Yeas, 16; nays, 15 ; total, 31. But tbe constitution, that document which is a higher law than any legislative act, and bo much io tbe way jaat now, requires that the regu lar reading of bills by Becttons in three separate days shall only be dispense! with by a two-thirds vote of the bouse. Then the question comes up again, what 1b "the bouse?" the whole number elected, or any number that might gather together? These little things as they ariae tend to show the members tbe position they occupy and the attempt at legislation is, to Bay the least, half hearted and desultory. Bilyeu of Lace baa threatened to read tbe riot act to the contending factions il tbey don't get together toon. He said, and truthfully, that one side waa not all right nor was the other all wrong and there must be mutual concessions. Uazeltine, the senator elected as a Mitchell republican from Multnomah, wanted to exclude theOregonian reporter from tbe senate because tbat paper bad stated tbat be was appointed on tbecom- miltee on municipal corporations at his own request. But the aenate Is not yet ready to apply the gag law. If every senator who happens to be criticised by the newspapers should feel as tbe sen ator from Multnomah, then he will soon have votes enough to carry his resolution and exclude the paper reporters. In one ofjmy former letters I referred to the contest of E. T. Hatch for the scat oi Representative Lee of Polk. In this Mr. Hatch claims to have discovered auQloient of fraud to thow that he and not Lee was elected and desires a recount. When Mr. Hatch, to use a common phrase, got onto this, he naturally weut to tha chairman ol tbe Republican 6 late Central Committee and laid the case be fore him. Thla wat laat fall. To his surprise be was referred to Mr. Jonathan Bourne, who. was the secretary of tbe republican committee last spring but at the time of whlcb I speak, if commou repute was true, was the chief mogul, not second (o John C. Young himself, of tbe populist forces. Here Mr. Hatch got no satisfaction, and in a subsequent in tervlew with Mr. llireh was given to un derstand that unless be would agree to vote for Senator Mitchell he could ex pect no aid from the State Ceutral Oom- tnlstee. You can draw your own cou elusion. Nosier is taking part In the delibera lion ot tho house. While it it not denied that he was Ineligible, according to tbe conditious laid down in that dreadful documeut, the constitution. Dr. C. W. Tower of Marshfield la here looking alter the Interest ot the proposed county of "Bay" which, nccoiding to (he plau ia to be carved out ol Coos with Empire City as the county teat. "Bay" was the name ou the original bill as iu troduced to create the county of Lincoln. Why not changeable later "Bay" to Jef ferson? We have uo Jefferson county in Oregon yt, or, perbepe "Hamilton" would do better, K. A. Graham, the Coos Bay, Rose, burg and Eastern contractor, looked in obi tbe legislature a few hours on Mon day, In reply to the quest tan at to when hit road would be continued through lo Koseburg, said, "it depended on wbat kind of laws tbey would be ex pected to do bualnees under." . B. K. EDEN BOWER ENTERTAINMENT. Long before seven o'clock, Toeaday evening, the school houje was packed from platform to door, with people ot all aget, eager to hearths maiden effort ot the "Edenbower Bachelor Club." Tbe cortan rose atbaltpaat savin snd the ball wss set to rolling by a aong in character, entitled "Tread on the tall of my coat." Alter thla, followed In quick succession recitations, readings, dia logue, solos, full choruses and tab leaux. The program It too lengthy lo repeat in detail, and to mention aoy one In particular aa doing extra well would te an injustice lo the others, as each one rendered hie part to perfection ; each number received hearty applause. The "business meeting" of tbe club was one of the cblef selections and fairly brought down tbe house, as also did the closing song. At about ten o'clock the muter of ceremonies thanked the audience for their attendance and good attention and also announced that 6.20 bad been taken in at the door. The Bacbelora in tend to present thl proceeds toward helping tbe W. C. T. U. to build a hall in this neighborhood. Tuesday evening every one present acknowledged that a hall is the very thing we need. The school bouse is small aud many bad lo remain alandlng in corners and against tbe wall wl ere a chair could not be placed. As tbe audience left the room the happy and smiling faces and the merry tallies linging out upon tbe night air, once could but recognize tbat every one felt Ibe better for an evening spent in laughter caused by the Eden bower Bachelor's Club. C. J. A. In Probate Court. In tbe matter of the estate of Joe Rosin, deceased, R. M. .Cockling waa appoluUd administrater of tai l estate and bonds fixed at $600. J. C. Aiken, L. Scbmeiser and L. A.

In the mat'er of the ettate of Albert McGuire, deceased, it waa ordered that tbe Administrator, E. A. Hinkle, make a deed of conveyance of title to Elijah Olli phant, embracing tbe premises sold bim aa the highest aud beet bidder, Novem ber 21, 1896, aa provided by law, and final settlement fixed lor March 1, 1897. In the matter ot the estate ot Clifton Weyer, minor, of two years snd a half, Geo. M, Brown waa appointed guardian of said minor, Clifton Weyer, upon filing bonds for $2000. Bonds were filed Janu ary 23, 1897. Almost a Fire. Wedneeday, at precisely 3 p. m., that dreaded cry of Fire ! Fire !! Fire !! ! was heard which was taken up and passed along tbe streets by tbe men and women and children, who were opon the streets snd soon the fire bell on the council ball rang out its warning clangor. Tbe hose carts were soon moving towards tbe resi dence of Mrs. Alice Sheridan, on the corner of Cass and Stephens ttreet. But before the fire boys got tbeir bote carts in position the glad news came echoing back, "It's out; it's out," and tbe fire boys returned their hoee carta to tbeir stalls, and leeomed their work at their several places of business, the same as if nothing had occurred. Tbe fire originated by a spark acci- dently being dropped in or flying into tbe woodbox near tbe kitchen atove and Mrs. Sheridan being out at the time ol its bursting into a blazo it waa not dis covered till it had arrived at that condi tion. It was discovered however by the neighbors and extinguished before it did any considerable damage. i; cc rt Dlttcra. Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when tbe languid exhausted feeling preyails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and tbe need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and per haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing tbe system from tbe malarial poison.

TSILC005 LAKE. November and December were awful for wet weatber. January has been fair with a few cold daya. Navigation has resumed. Tbe bars are passable much of the time now. La grippe baa raged furiously on tbe Siualaw and Umpqua with miny victims between these waters. In Florence and Glenada this affliction haa been very distressing. Dr.'lSaobert has .'several times bad tbe tug Roberts aa hia vehicle op and down the rigiog Siualaw. When the family of the owner, captain or crew of tbis little steamer gels desperately ill the lug is the doctor's means of reaching tbe adlicted ones. Florence has two good physicians, too, bnt our saw mill proprietor has to go when a hard pioch comes. Acme's new. schooner is still in the mud, where she went when her ways sack under her, when the attempt was made to launch her early in.tbe winter. It ia problematical when abe will plow the raging main. Duck ebooting on Tsilccos has not been op tbe standard this season. The waters were too high. The ducks are rather lean. , In this respect : they .are like many of our cattle. .Mallarda are at their beat in the spring .-February aod March, Canvasbacks are not much in evidence this season.

Our lakes are now known to tbe fish commissioner. An agent waa tent here to make ao official study of these waters and "we are in it." Like Tsilcoos is the finest lake in Oregon by all odde. A local poet, a lady, who knows a thing of beauty when she tees it, dedi cates these lines: A grand old mirror spreads wide, The toweriog mocarchs crowd beside, The while they outstretch tbeir sinewy arms To embrace the fleeing wind's wild charmt. A butterfly has lit upon it, With glistening wing she speeds above it, A rain cloud hovers in dainty grace Admirinej the reflection ot her own white face. The sun a goldeu sheen haa cast Across one corner of tbe ail very glaaa; All this a plctare rare doea make, Ah I 'tis our own dear Tsilcoos laks. 8. M. DRAIN NORMAL.
