There is considerable discussion going on regarding the vaccination orders issued by the County Health Officer for school children. Now, we do not propose to mix up in the mat ter, because we believe that vaccina tion, if rightly performed by a com petent person, with virus from healthy cow, will prevent smallpox, At the same time, if the individual is afflicted with lung troubles, vaccina tion should be avoided. If one could see under the lens of a powerful micro scope, the terrible monsters revealed in a speck of active vaccine virus, they would kick harder against being vaccinated than an Idaho thug when a rope is placed around his neck to send him to glory. The ten thousand microbes scratched into a child's arm soon multiply into tens of billions and a battle royal takes place in the human system un til all the microbes favorable to the spread of smallpox have been killed and devoured by the microbes from the injected virus taken from a cow's udder, and, in the words of the negro girl, the very-old-lord gets away with the verv-old-devil. but in a case of consumption, when the cow-pox mi crobes get into battle with the di seased lung microbes, which are an entirely different order of animals revelling in microcosm, the result of the battle is doubtful and the child is too often made far weaker than be fore the vaccination operation. If a child is reasonably healthy, the vari ous breeds of microbes can fight it out and very little damage results, but if the child is diseased, then the cow-virus microbes have a very hard fight and too often the millions upon millions of aggressive warriors are driven back to the place on the child's arm where the serum was injected, and the battle ground being piled up with the dead and dying warriors to such an extent that the living warri ors cannot eat up the dead ones, the flesh is poisoned by the dead microbes and it sloughs off in the form of pus or drops off in chunks. But we did not intend to go into details of the microbe battles from a layman's standpoint; and as we have doubtless let down the worm fence, perhaps the County Health Officer or one of our learned physicians will give us an ar ticle on the microbe that renders the human system immune to smallpox. All we ask i3 for the doctor to give us a pen picture of the brutes in the King's English, for he is a fearful ana most wonaenui looking beast as revealed by the microscope, and as the human system contains billions of living microbes of thousands of dif ferent kinds, every drop of blood teeming'with living monsters whose battles are as savage as those of any known animal on earth. Other mi crobes have the forms of alligators, devilfish, serpents and the old world saurian monsters in miniature, but they are all fighters and cannibals and, strange, to say, small and insig nificant in size as they are, each one's system is a world in itself for millions of smaller microbes, and the question of life, where it begins and where it ends, no man can tell. Fool Legislation. We notice that several of the rock- ribbed democratic newspapers are trying to make capital out of the new tax law. Now, we are perfectly willing that the democratic mule be allowed to bray and nop his ears and flop his ears and bray until he gets tired of such amusement, but the facts in the case are: the new tax law which passed the late lament ed legislature, was introduced into the Senate by Senator Walter Pierce, a democrat from Umatilla county and it was backed up by all the pres sure Governor Chamberlain could give. If the bill is a fool measure now it was a fool measure when it was so strenuously advocated, and it ill becomes the democratic press to assail the bill, fool measure though it be. The facts in the case are Pierce was in the Senate to make his mark and, like Jacob, the double deal er of old, when he saw his chance he lifted up his voice and wept" over the corruption of the republican party for allowing taxes to be paid in the spring instead of fall; and when all the democrats from Chamberlain down, gathered together, they had a regular hellabaloo time of it and cat erwauled over the iniquity of forcing the rich wheattrrowers of Umatilla o hold their money over from fall until spring, to pay their taxes with, and sq they proceeded to pass a bill so that these wheatgrowers should, ike a fool, be separated from his money, and the democrats, supported by the Multnomah grafters, proceed ed to levy by law two annual tax as sessments for one year and, unless Supreme Court holds to the contrary, the taxpayers will have to pay an an nual tax next spring and an annual tax next fall. Truly the way of the average democrat is more mysterious than Solomons four wonderful ways, when it comes to trying to fool the public or shift the responsibility for crofts like the tax bill from demo cratic to republican shoulders. The tax bill was advocated by democrats and approved by a democratic Gover nor. A Reverend Slanderer. The Plaindealer is in a receipt of a letter from the very Reverand K S. Minshall, the traveling agent for the Review, in which that gentleman says: "I am certain of this much that H. H. Brookes HAS to go." "I am very free to confess that I am doing all I can to help you to pack your grip, to leave Roseburg." This the man who is employed by the Review, and is slandering the Editor and the Plaindealer in the interest of the Review. Now we have no fight to make on the Review or on the reverend Minshall for the extracts from his own letter, shows just what kind of a reverand gentleman he is, To Cure Sore Eyes. There wiil be a special Salvation Army service at the Opera House to night at which Brigadier Hill will give an illustrated musical lecture with moving pictures, living pictures and a lot of high grade combination melodies of a numerous and serious nature. Bald heads on the front seats will be chanred 15 cents. If they have glasses 10 cents extra while the preserved seats will be 25 cents. Small children in their mother's arms will be admitted free. Turn out and give this grand aggre gation of culmulative music, pictures and song a helping hand. Every thing is warranted to be first class and up th date. Remember the time and place. Tonight in the Opera House. The way of the transgressor ruff," but the path of this editor far ruffer." Last week a certain man, whose name is Unmentionable, came to the office twice to have the Plaindealer publish an article re flecting on a competitor. Before the day was out the editor was asked to show Mr. Unmentionable up, by Mr. Dontmention. both were women scrapes. We did not reler to either and as a consequence both reproached the editor for failing to publish the news, both got mad and stopped their business and their papers and the Plaindealer will no doubt go by the board. Had we published what the men desired there would have been two genuine sensations in Roseburg and a vast amount of damage and malice would have resulted. The Plaindealer never turns the grind stone to sharpen any man's ax, but if these two ex-patrons will promise to give and take and hold their tempers. we will publish full particulars of the scandals in our next issue. What say you, Gentlemen? It seems that the detectives sur rounding President Rooseveltwant to make a record for watchlulness and as a consequence every man who nas a morbid curiosity to see the Presi dent, is arrested as an anarchist, a lunatic or an attempted murderer. The many reports sent out convinces European nations that the President is in hourly dread of assassination or that the men protecting him are a set of fools. There is not a single European government that would allow a report to go abroad, that a long haired, white headed crank was determined to see their ruler, for public notoriety of such affairs only produces a craze to do likewise. Eighteen thousand miners of the Connellsville country in Pennsylvania, are being organized to fight the mine operators. The union was wiped out about fifteen years ago after a ter rible struggle. The fight will be commenced anew and as a conse quence the savings of the past ten years or more will be blotted out and nobody but the labor agitators will be benefited. Labor and capital will suffer alike in the struggle. There are now 80,000 miners in the union and the out look is very gloomy. The Rev. R. II. Kennedy, pastor of the Congregational church at Hills boro, charged with burglarizing the home of one of his church mem bers about a month ago has had his final examination trial and been bound over to the circuit court. Russia will note vacuate Manchuria, and Japan will land troops in Corea and seize that country as a compromise. A CATHOLIC DIPLOMAT. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC ENVOY RECALLED. HE WENT TO MANILA TO SELL THE FRIARS LAND AT EXHORBITANT RATE A Rome cable to the World says : The negotiations in the Philippine islands botween the Vatican and the United States government regarding the sale of the land held by the fiiars and the re moval of the native monks from the island have been cin... off by Pius X. Mgr. Guidi. the Roman prelate sent to Manila as apostolic delegate to conduct the negotiations has been recalled to Rome. The general opinion in Rome is that Mgr. Guidi's mission has failed principally because he would not accept the price offered for the friars' lands by the American government. It has been decided at the Vatican that hereafter Philippine island questions must bo dealt with directly by the pon tifical secretary of state and the govern ment at Washington, or, what is still better, through a 8ecial representative of the holy see sentj to the United States from Rome. There is a rumor that the Vatican will send a special envoy to represent the (Wve at the St. I-oni.s Exposition, and it is thought that this same prelate will be intrusted with negotiations touching the Philippine:. The onlv ditlicutly in the way is the fear that the American gov eminent will not recognize the papal en voy as a full-Hedged diplomat. Rut it is thought in Rome that this ditliculty will be easilv overcome in consideration of the offer from the Vatican of an import ant display at the St. Louis Exposition. lhe I'LAINDEAler nas been aware for several years past, in fact, ever since the stuffed prophet at Buzzard's Bay ordered a naval salute to be fired on the arrival of Mgr.

If this is allowed then every religious order in the world Greek Christians, Mohame dans, Sun Worshipers, Abysinnia Christians, the Presbyterians of Scot land, the black Fetish worshipers of Africa, the Hugenots of France or the Lutherns of Germany, should be allowed a special envoy also. It is our opinion that the quicker such business is cut our entirely the better it will be for the Catholic Church at large and the United States will have peace, lhe very -moment that the Roman Catholic Church is allowed special representation every church or religious organization in the United States should demand special representation also. American Federation of Labor. The Plaindkaleu is in receipt of a copy of the address issued to organ ized labor in the United States. The address appeals for stronger unions and for a united fight for favorable legislation. We copy from the re port, "In connection with the meet ing of the executive council and by appointment, a conference was held with the President of the United Stales for the purpose of discussing important labor legislation. The eight-hour bill wr3 considered at length, the President staling that his mind had not changed on that form of legislation since he had favored it as governor of New York state, and therefore was favorable to the passage of the proposed act. "On the anti-injunction bill, in re sponse to questions submitted, the President replied that tho subject would have his most careful and earnest attention. "Other important questions affect ing legislation as per decision of last convention, were taken up and on behalf of the International book- binders' union, the Miller case was discussed. The executive council brcniu". - the Prealdont'H attention the manner in which his decision had boon quoted and in addition to the relationship of Mr. Miller to the bookbinders' union as brought forth in the charges against him, the 'open shop' idea was carefully considered. Replying to statements on the sub ject, President Roosevelt set forth that in his decision ho had nothing in mind aud a strict compliance with the federal statutes, including the civil sen-ice law, and that ho recognized a difference between employment by the government circumscribed by those :ivs and any other form of employ ment, and that his decision in the Miller case should not be understood to have any other effect or influence than affecting direct employment by the government in accordance there with. He furthermore made plain that in any form of employment except ing that so circumscribed he believed me iuii employment oi union men ll ( II I m was preferablo to non-union or 'open shops.' In view of the publicity given this subject, the executive council of the A. F. of L. takes thi: opportunity to say that the trade: union movement stands for strictly union shop, experience having proved that where the open shop svstem has been tried reduction in wages and profits have ensued, with genera disaster to the industry practicjn that system, and therefore declares that the best interest of the labor movement calls for the employment or union workers and discourages in everv wav, shape and form the de teriorating effects which follow th recognition of 'open shops.' " Two Offictrs Killed. A special from Burns of yesterday' date says: The dead body of John b. baxton, a isurns lawver, was brought to this place last night, he having been shot and killed by Jac! Frost, alias Harry Egbert, a fugativi burglar, wanted in Douglas count-, Saxton was acting as deputy sher iff. He had arrested Egbert, but h Richardson DRUGGISTS Ric arason Near Depot. escaped from the officer on Sept 25. t On Oct. 4th Saxton and Jack West ; came upon him at the ranch of Chas. Fields, 125 miles south of Burn?. Egbert and his wife were in the house alone and as the two men ap proached Egbert fired upon them, kill ing West almost immediately. Sax ton entered the house and then a bat tle was fought by the two men result ing in Saxton's death. Officers are in pursuit of the mur derer. A reward of $500 has been offered for his capture. It is believed that the murderer is j Jack Frost, who is wanted by Sheriff Parrott for burglarly committed at Drain last spring, but so far no de finite information is known. 'Frost served time in the Salem peniten tiary. OBITUARY.

Ho had 2G grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. He settled upon a donation claim in Tin Pot valley in 1851 and made it his home until death called him to an other prepared for him. Ho joined the Christian church in his boyhood days and lived in that laith for over sixty years.

Ho was in tho famous J go(1 nei js 0f the latter state in 1849. Nonpareil. A Strange Case, A suit congesting a sixty thounnnd ollar estate left by Ferdinand Knuu- or to his wife Marie developed some startling charges at San Francisco on Wednesday. The story of Mrs. nauers life as told in the suit is that she originally eloped to this country with a German army officer, after deserting her husband. While iving in Chicago she induced a lieu tenant, whom she had married, and son, whom they had adopted, to insure their ives in her favor. Botli husband and son died of my ter- ious ailments, supposedly poisoning. While the son was being buried Marie eloped with the undertaker and fled again for Germany. Hero the undertaker died suddenly. She then returned to America and came to San Francisco setting up in business as a massage artist. While here she be came employed as nurse to Mr. Knau er, aged 73, induced him to take a llat. Moved by her pitiful story that she had lost husband, brother, son ind her dear old grandfather, Knauser was induced to marry her. In December a surgeon informed Knauer than an opperation was necessary, and to please his wife, he attached a codicil to his will, bequeath ing her all his estate. Knauer did not survive the operation. Suit is brought by Knauers rela tives. Real ILstate Transfers. P. Sharps Durlantl Sethers, $500: the sec 2, in tp 25 s, of et ux toO.

A New Exhibitor ft Angoras Oregon State Fair. at the Mr. L. A. Mnrsters, of Cleveland, Oregon, made his first appearance as an exhibitor of Angora goats at tho Oregon State Fair this year. His exhibit was not large; it consitod of three does, two of which wero thoroughbreds from the C. P. Bailey Hock and tho other a doe of his own breeding. Ho was naturallv gratified in scouring the lirt-t premium on the latter doe in competition with the fine does which look lirs-tand second premiums at the show nt Dallas last winter. Although Mr. Marstera is a new exhibitor ho is by no means a new breeder and his tlock is one which has long boon established. At eoiuu time prior Vo 1873, Messrs. Landrum it Rogers sold to Richard William, of California, 127 fino grade Angora does and n pure bred buck. In 187;t Rev.C. B. Marstors, then of Siskiyou county, California, lKiught this (lock, paying Williams f 15 per head for tho does and $325 for tho buck. Shortly nfterwards Mr. Marstera moved into Oiegon, and n number of years ago his (lock of Angoras passed into the hands of his sou, tho pre-ent breeder, L. A. Marstera. From the time of the purchase by Rev. C. B. Marstors to the pront day tho best bucks available have been purchased for use in the llock and special eflbrts have been made to breed kemp out of thu flock, with most encouraging results. In tho last year or two Mr. Mnritert lias been strengthening hla (look by , the purchaso of the best does which ho could buy. Not long ago ho secure:! eight thoroughbred does from P. Bailey & Sons, and whilo nt the Stale Fair he secured six of Craig Rros.' choice does. He now has a thorough bred Hock of about 40 and proves hereafter to confine his breeding opera tions to that class of stock although he will buy and sell standard Angoras. As a breeder ho makes his flock ono of the leading ones of the state and he will hereafter make full exhibits at the State Fair every year. The development of this flue breeding Hock of Angoras will Ih3 a great convenience to Angora goat raisers in Douglas and Jackson counties where the industry is developing with great rapidity.
