FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS. G. B. Dimmick of Clackamas Co A. C. Hough of Josephine Co. J. N. Hart of Polk Co. E. A. Fee of Malheur Co. It's encouraging news for Repub licans that is coming out of New York now. Representative Sereno E. Payne, Republican floor leader in the house of Representatives is quoted as saying: "I know of one town in New York where every living voter will cast his ballot for Roosevelt. That President Roosevelt will receive the electoral vote of New York is certain. The Republican majority will be as large as in 1900. Fully 50 per cent of the Gold Democrats will vote the Republican ticket. The younger ele ment will support Roosevelt, and he will get most of the new vote." Ex Senator Thurston, who has been cam paigning all around New York state, said the young voters are almost sol idly for Roosevelt. He finds the Democrats apathetic, many of them openly expressing the belief that the Democratic ticket has no chance. Too many Oregon towns and real estate dealers treat new comers, homeseekers and investors as the dry goods clerk did a customer, justifying his actions from a biblical standpoint. The story runs as follows: A very religious man ran a clothing store. He always told his clerks to do noth ing that was not warranted by the Bible. One day he learned that a clerk had charged a customer $3 for a $1.50 article and took him to task. "Can you think of a Bible quotation," he asked the clerk, "that would war rant such conduct?" The clerk said he could and quoted: "He was a stranger and I took him in." rlitor Kobe its, oi the Myrtle roint enterprise, is an enthusiastic devotee , of the theater, his greatest ambition , being to shine some day before the footlights. So much is he given to theatricals that on a recent "night out with the boys" which presaged domestic infelicity on his return to his humble domicile, he engaged the local orchestra to accompany him home in order that he might dodge rolling pins and flat irons and ward off the descending strokes of the j broomstick to the accompaniment of i soft orchestral music, which he de- clares renders the scene less realistic and decidedly theatrical. j Last week six business establish ments of Tillamook were merged into three. There were two meat mar kets, neither prospering. So one man sold out to the other and became his employe. There were two harness and saddle shops and the proprietors got together and tossed up a coin on a give or take basis. And the pro prietors of two furniture stores, after a conference, agreed on terms of con solidation. Thus Tillamook sets a good example for other towns, says the Jacksonville Sentinel. Referring to the case of Earl Stone at Coquille, in which the young man was convicted of killing his infant babe and was sentenced to a life term in the penitentiary, the Bandon Re corder says: "When Eve and Adam sinned both were turned out of the Garden of Eden, but the modern Eve has found a different way. When she sins and tempts her husband to sin, he is sent to prison for life while she goes free." What is probably the largest bet of the present campaign was made re cently at Silver City, Mont, between V. C. Place general manager of the Pinos Altos Gold and Silver Mining Co., and Chas. M. Shannon of the Sentiel. Mr. Place bets the entire holdings of his company against the Hughes and Shannon property which is wagered on Parker. The properties are worth about $600,000 each. Senator Fairbanks, republican can didate for vice president, spent three hours in Roseburg Sunday and there was no fall in the temperature either. The Portland Journal will please note this fact. Japanese soldiers are provided with ready written postal cards. All they have to do is to attach their signa ture to this translated: "This is to let you know that I am alive and well. I can not give you ray address, for I do not know where I shall be tomor row. But your letter will reach me if you copy the postmark on this card. Greetings to my family and friends." Mr. Fairbanks basing himself upon Lincoln's acceptance of the protec tive policy, declares that protection has "become incorporated into the public law and has become the founda tion of the American industrial system." On the Philippine question he says: '"The people of the Philip pines do not distrust us. We need not distrust ourselves." It was an honor Roseburg was un prepared for when the Republican vice presidential candidate and his distinguished party halted here for a three hours sight seeing visit Sunday. But the citizens of Roseburg proved themselves capable of doing things on the short order plan and extended the distinguished visitors a very cor dial reception. Since Attorney-General Crawford took office he has approved bonds from various Oregon school districts aggregating $202,000, this action be ing authorized by the Legislature of 1903, which passed $ measure per mitting investment of any portion of the irreducible state school fund in school bonds. Roseburg is waking up and doing the wise thing by making a strong pull for factories, and with success. The great amount of good permanent street improvement work accomplish ed this season was money well and iudiciouslv expended. There is evi dence of enterprise and progress on even- hand. The rLAiNDEALER is quietly peg ging away, minding its own business. New subscribers are volunteering every day and new advertisements are in evidence in every issue. This we appreciate as it is one of the signs that the people are satisfied with the Plaindealer. Judging from the way the Cottage Grove Leader is booming the Lewis and Clark Exposition one would naturally suppose it was going to be held at Cottage Grove instead of at Portland. Between every article, long or short, the Leader prints, " 1905 -Oregon 1905." Though adopted no more than six or seven years ago, the whole of the German quick firing field artillery has been condemned as obselete and is to be replaced by shield-protected guns recoiling on their own limber That is the Japanese tvpe of field The permbii(..m national committee gn ReV. Walter!. Smith of Ohio, to take Senator Dolliver's place on Fairbanks' special train to assist the senator in his speaking engage ments in the West. Smith left Wed nesday for Ogden, where he joins the vice presidential candidate's train. If prohibition carries in old Doug las in November we will not need to wait until January 1, to swear off, reform and turn that new leaf it will also require less stability and force of character to keep from breaking those good resolutions. A clean sweep lor Koseounr in landing that $10,000 broom factory This factorv will clear the way for the others which are to follow. Fac tories are what Roseburg wants and we can well afford to offer liberal in ducements to secure them. Better manufacture the surplus apple crop into cider. That may be about the only thing in Douglas coun ty that can be had which will produce a jag after November 8th. Grants Pass had an Illustrated double page write .up in Monday's Portland Telegram. Our southern neighbor is apparently rubbing her eyes and waking up. Carrie Nation called on all the women of Kansas to join her at Wichita to smash things. Three responded. 'Tis a wicked and per verse generation.' Salem people are agitating the ownership of their own water and electric light plants, ditto Roseburg, Our citizens should be wide-awake on every point when it comes to bet tering our town. Not one one-hundredth part of Oregon's mineral wealth has yet been developed. The prohibition petition has been filed and uneasy is the head that wears a jag. uregon towns will receive many visitors next year fix op things! Oregon has the greatest accessible timber belt in the world. UNDISMAYED. UP IN ARMS. Albany Church Board Refuses to Receive Rev. Summer-field. Albany, Or., Oct. 5. A majority of the official board of the Vethodist F.pis copal Church of this city lias in de a decided protest against the assignment of Rev. D. T. Summerville to the pas torale of the church by the Eugene con ference, and baa notified Riahop Henry Spellmeyer, who made the assignment, that if Rev Summerville cornea to this church he will be neither received nor supported. The church members say the action waa not taken because of any persoual feeling against Rev. Summerville, or be cause there was any doubt as to In character an. 1 standing as a minister, bat because their wishes and suggestions regarding the pastorate were entirely disregarded when the assignment was made. While it considers Rev. Sum mervUle an able minister, the official board of the local M. E. church Jch not consider him the right man to take charge of the church at the present time ; hence this decisive action, which comes, it is understood, as an ultimatum after considerable private discussion. The church is now in a dilemma. It has refused the services of Re.-. Sum merville, and is accordingly without a pastor. How the matter will be settled is yet unknown. It is said to ba the duty of the resident bishop and the pre siding elder of this district to assign the church a new pastor, but it is hard to say when any action will be taken. ftsaecr Odd Ftttsw pies. Cottage Gsovb, Or. Oct. 3. Samuel P. Garoatte, the pioneer Oddfellow of the Pacific Coast, died at Vallejo Junc tion, Cal, last night. He was 81 years of ago, and had been an active member of the I.

"Sweet Clover" that ever popular pas to rial drama, was presented to a packed house at the Roseburg theater Mondsy night, and generally pleased those who witnessed the play Otis B. Thsyer, the old farmer, and Gertrude Bondbill, the co-star with Mr. Thayer in the role of the farmer's daughter, very cleverely interpreted the characters, but the monotonous high pitch of the latter's voice somewhat detracted from her admirable presentation. The comedy role waa well sustained by Clara Taps field and Bob Robson aa an old maid and bashful bachelor suitor. The Rose burg orchestra rendered some grand new musical members. Professors LsMare and Hoag, enter tainers in spiritualism and psychic mystery, will give a performance of their marvelous powers of unseen forces at the Opera House in this city Friday and Saturday nights. These gentlemen are credited with being particular strong in their line of work, and promises an entertainment that will merit a liberal patronage and be worth the small price asked. After the performance in spiritualism and hypnotism, tlrsy will produce the great train robbery with their splendid Edison Moving picture machine, which will be a rare treat for those who have not seen this wonderful and very interesting exhibition of Edi son's art in electricity, oeneral ad mission, adults 35 cents, children, 25 cents. No reserved seats. Dr. Lowe, the well known optician, is now at the McClallen House to remain till Friday night. Any one in need of well adjusted and perfect fitting glasses will not fail to call on him. "She ia all the world to me, what would yon advise me to do?" "See a little more of the world." replied his friend. Married. GOTCHEB-8WE ARNIGEN. Drain, Or., Oct. 2, 1904, J. 8. Gotcher and Bell Swearnigen, Justice J. W. Krew aon, officiating.

Counsel for Conklin at ouce moved for an appeal and it is uite likely the case will In heard in the higher courts. The ciialt prescribed in a case of this kind is from three to four months' imprisonment or from f 100 to 1500 tine. Arthur Conklin is editor of the Grants Pass Mining Journal ami came into his present trouble through attacks made on Robert G. Smith, who was candidate for Representative from Josephine county at the election of last June. It was stated in the alleged libelous article that Smith had collected money for Mrs. Sa rah Lewis and appropriated it to his own use. According to the testimony of Mrs. Lewi., Smith did not take her money, except what was secured under a note, am) in a reguiar business way. In his argument for the state, I'nue ciitiug Attorney Ke lines placed particu lar stress on the apparent malicious mo tive of the editor of the Journal in pub lishing the article, and the attorney for the defense made an heroic effort to con vince the jury that the article public bed was true, even going to the extent of attempting to impeach the evidence of Mrs. Sarah Lewis, the principal witness.
