Valley Record. The county school superintendent ia considering a few cases that were submitted to him iu the matter of the enumeration of school children in more than one district. B. 1. Dyer's children were enumerated both iu district .No. 1 10, Starveout, and No. 55, Myrtle Creek. As Mr. Dyer was at SUrveout on the 1st of March and took part iu the school meeting there, it seems that that waa the district in which his children should be enumerated. Auotlicr case is that of Peter Burch, of Camas Valley. His children were listed both in district '21 and district '2. As the property of Mr. Burch was found to be tbe nortbweet quarter of section 10, aud iu district No. '2, though against tbe lioe, there is where his children are required to be couutcJ.

State Taxes. The qiietstiou of whether or uot it is proper at this time to pay over to the state the amount of tax due Iroiu Doug las county, and the other counties of tbe state, has been agitated to some extent. Treasurer Frater is of the opinion that uudor the law, unless restrained by an order of tho conrf, he will have to pay the state tax out .of ihe first money he receives from the sheriff. The law is plaiu, and there is uo alternative (or the treasurer. Hid office might be de dared forfeit if he should, of hie own motion, withold the Ux, But it ia known that the money will bo idle iu the treasury if paid over, whou it might be kept in circulation. This tho county court wants to accomplish if possible keep the money in circulation. Taxes in this county come iu from various sources aud are being paid all the year round, eo that if a call was made (or an extra session of the legislature the state tax could bo raised iu DO das by a little exlra etl'ort. 1 ho wider aud more tatia (actory plau, it seems, would be (or the state otllciala to require just what amount of money they can use aud no more, then uo oue would have to break the law or even suspend its operation. .

A Mlsalle Passes Through the Pas aenger Coach of No. 15. 1 here were all sorUof rumors 011 the streets )eeterday morning concerning an alleged attempted hold op of Ihe north bound passenger train the night before. Something, either pistol ball, or a rock thrown with great force, passed through the day coach entering a window on one sidii and passing out at Ihe other. One rexirt concerning it was to Ihe effect that a masked man appeareJ on Ihe track and signalled the engineer to slop, but that individual Instead ol obeying the .command pulled open the throttle ami dropped behind the boiler head, and as the train rushed by tbe baflled high wayman, In rage at his discomfiture, shot through the car. This report also stated that the bullet bad passed through the hat of a travelling man on the side on which it entered snd grazed the arm of a lady on tbe other side removing more or lees of the cuticle. Other stories were to the effect that the report of a pistol could be distinctly heard almost simultaneous with Ihe broken glass. Tbe train was in charge of Conductor Jim Hansbrough and Engineer Jap Waite. The accident or aaekult, or whatever it should prop erly be termed, occurred on Woll Creek in Josephine county, jast beyond Ibe csv mill scows as Tuft?' ,'m:!!, at about K o'clock, Tuesday evening. The engi neer did not know anything unusual had occurred until the stop was made at Ulendale. The condpetor was in tbe smoker and he Immediately went for ward. Ha lound an excited lot of pas sengers eagerly discussing the event and all trying to look through one hole to see where the ball had gone, or the other to watch for and dodge another. Tlie holes made in tbe windows were about three or four incbet in diameter and nearly round ; but not directly op posite, it having parsed out one window behind a straight line acrors from that which it came 10 at. Ou the en trance eiJe it struck Ihe hat of a man sitting by tbe window, dented it and knocked it off. K it had been a bullet it would have cut rtgbt through and would not bare taken it from his head. Tbe missile was evidently a rock, thrown in a apirit o( malicious mischief by some one ou the aide of tbe track. For- unately no one waa buit, but the result might have been serious. Some one will get caught at that kind of basinets some day and then there will be an example made of Ihe culprit that will be an object lesson not soon forgotten. An Excellent Show. Miss Ida Fuller and ber company gave an excellent entertainment laet night to a good sized audience at tbe opera house. In ber bills Misa Fuller advertieea her people as all star entertainers, and, con trary to the general ruie, tbe bills tell the truth. Mr. J. P. Shea, in his char acter impenonation of the "French lady from Cork," was very funny. Kalcratns the juggler was also good as was Mifs. Alice Keller the dancing and singing soubrette. The program improved as it proceeded and the royal bell ringers re ceived several encores. The Barriogtoca were clever, especially Charley with his imitations, though the title of tbe sketch, The Troublesome Servant," didn't seem to particularly fit. Little Anita Lawrence, tne child contortionist and grotesque dancer held the boards next to the evident satisfaction of those present. The musical artists, the Lelliotts and Bush, were, accordiug to this scribe, the tuoet enjoyable (eature of the show, not evej excepting Miss Fuller herself io her wonderful dance, which must be seen to be appreciated. How she rranaged to keep from getting all tangled up in ber darperies is a wonder, and tin arrange ment of the lights was simply splendid. Hoseburg saw nothing like that before.

Mrs. C. S. Jackson, nee Miss Lilly Railey, who has been attending school at Palo Alto, Cel., returned home last week. Her husband who also was at tending the Stanford University, will go to Denver, Colo., to take a higher course in the study of the law. Mrs. Jackson will reside with ber parents at Starr ont, where she will teach school tbia summer. She was our guest while at Ulendale. From all whom we meet we hear tbe moet anxious and solicitous inquiries made as to the condition of Mrs. Julia Abraham. That grand good womai has many mends in South Douglas who here shared with her husband and children the terrible suspense of Ibe last few weeks, which waa much relieved by the short paragraph in Monday's Plaix deallh saying that she had stood the fearful ordeal of tbe necessary operation and was resting easily. We join with them all in the prayerful hope for her speedy recovery. On Monday of last week we were called to Placer, Joeephine Co., on ac count of the serious illness of Mrs. Ed Don I nee Min Emma Stevenson, whose many friends will be pleased to hear that she is now much better. While at Placer we met many former residents of Douglas Co. amongst them was Mr. and Mrs. Bristow Uabbert, Mr. Keeler Gab bert and Mr. and Mrs. Sank Buell, formerly of Myrtle Creek. Placer is a mining town of considerable note. At tbis place is tbe Hampton-Lewis mine which is presumed to be the moet im portant mine in Southern Oregon. Next in size is tbe Browning mine and tbe mine owned by F. M. Decker & Co. All have made good clean ups lately, so that Placer is a prosperous place. The town site is owned by Linnaeus Browning, wno ia well known to many old residents of Douglas Co. There are many other mines and ledges near tbis place which we designed visiting, inclement weather preventing. There are seventeen fami lies who have homes here and a good hotel kept by Mrs. Burdine.
