J. T. Bowiitch,
Attorney and Counsellor at Law
ASHLAND, OREGON.
The lact that Royal Baking Powder is, in all respects,
thp Lest baking powd« t olleietl to the public lias been
established beyond question.
Prof. H. A. Mott, when employed by the U. S. Govern
ment to analyze the various baking powders of the market
to determine which was the best and most economical, after
an extended investigation, reported in favor of the Royal,
and it was adopted for government use.
Prof. Mott has continued his examinations of baking
powders sold at the present day. and now affirms it as his
deliberate judgment, arrived at aftermost thorough research
and a careful examination of rhe principal brands of the
market, that the Royal is undoubtedly th«- purest and most
reliable baking powder ottered to the public. Prof. Mott, in
his recent report, says :
“The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for I
have so found it in many tests made both for that company
and the U. S. Government.
“I will go sti’l further amt state that, because of the
facilities that company have lor obtainin'.'- perfectly pure

The committee appointe«! to revise the
national rules of the baseball game met
at Chicago last week and made the follow
ing changes:
The high ami low ball system of deliv
ery has l>een abolished, any ball now be
ing considered fair that passes th«' bat
ter between his shoulder and knee, ami
that ¡tasses over the plate. Bunting in
future will not be allowed. Any obvious
attempt to mak«' a foul hit will Lie scored I
as a strike.
Clulis will not toss for choice position
in future, the right of choice resting in
I
variably with tlio home club.
Five balls ami four strikes will lie al
lowed. instead of six balls ami three
strikes, as heretofore. When a batsman I
takes liis base on balls he shall lx* credi-
te«l with a base hit. Any motions what
ever on the part of pitcher made to deceive t
the batsman shall be considered a balk.
If in running to a base the runner
touches anti detaches a base bag, with
out lieing touched by the baseman, he
will be safe.
Captains of clubs only can question an
umpire’s «lecision.
The old rule requiring a runner to re
turn to his base on a run when a foul hit
is made was rescinded. Hereafter a run
ner can walk to liis base. No runner can
have a substitute run for him in ease of
injury, but must retire from the game.
A batter is out on the fourth strike,
under the new rule, whether the ball is
dropped or passed by th«' catcher.
The question of having two umpires
ami a referee was dropped.
The pitcher’s box was shorten« I to live
and a half feet, and the pitcher will l>e
required to keep his forward foot firmly
on the ground when alwiut to deliver the
ball. His rear foot must bo on the back
line of the box, ami he will be allowed to
take but one step when delivering the
ball. The ball must be held in plain
view of the umpire. The pitcher cannot
deliver tlio ball to th«» batter after mak
ing a feint to throw to first base, but
must resume his position in his lx>x.
Only two coaches will be permitted,
and they shall have a right to talk to the
base runner only.
In scoring, when a batter is given a
base on ealle«l balls, a hit is credited to
the batter, and an error given to the
pitcher in the summary only. All bat
ting errors are charged in the Nummary,
as are earned runs, home runs, two ami
three base hits, double plays, base on
balls, hit/Jby pitcher, passed balls, wild
pitches, time of game, mid umpire.
The pitcher will be given no credit for a
strike out. In place of total bases a re-
cord of stolen bases will be kept, Any
attempt made by a player to steal a base
must be credited, whether an error is
made or not, if the runner is successful
in reaching a base.
The committee also passed a rule re-
«¡luring each association to ap point a
joint rule committee at each annual meet
ing. to act for one year.

following are the mot>t widely known who
tcceprixl and were presimt: Hon. John

The following letter of regret was re

Edward Forman, Esq.. Corresponding
Secretary: .V// Dear Sir: I regret ex-
ceedingly that official duties, just at this
time unusually exacting and important,
pK ont my acceptance of your invitation
to attend the fourth annual banquet of
the Iroquois club on the 17th inst. I am
much impressed with the present import
ance of a thorough and timely discus
sion by the people of the various ques
tions which arc related to the good gov
ernment and prosperity of the country,
and which, because they are so related,
concern the welfare and s’tccess of the
democratic party. In the work winch
must be undertaken of presenting these
questions to the judgment of our citizens
in such a manner as to remove misappre
hensions and aid a correct conclusion, I
believe that the Iroquis club will prove a
most effective instrumentality. Hoping
that the approaching banquet will be the
occasion of pleasure as well as interest
and usefulness, I am yours sincerely,
G koveb C leveland .
Among other prominent persons who
sent letters of regret are AbramS. Hewitt,
S. S. Cox. Roswell P. Flower. William M
Endicott, Perry Belmont, Governors D.
H. Hill and Fitzhugh Lee, A. G. 'Thur
man and Fitz-John Porter.
After the banquet, nt which Itetween
200 and 250 guests and members of the
club sat down, the following toasts were
made and responded to as indicated:
“Treasury Surplus and Tariff." Hon. J.
B. Beck: “The Public Lands, the People’s
Heritage for Homes," Hon. \V. A. J.
Sparks; “The Great Republic.” Hon. W.

Hon. Janies R. Doolittle; "Democratic

can Industries, their Growth and Pros
perity cannot lie Promoted by Unneces
sary or Unequal Taxation.” Hon. John G.
Carlisle.
CARLISLE ON TARIFF
I
to do that, and I am afraid it has not,
rather than have the money locked up,
the appropriations increased, or extrava
gant premiums paid, I shall projxise, lx*-
fore this congress adjourns, to loan the
surplus at say 2 ¡>er cent, ¡»er annum to
any one who will deposit th? outstanding
4’2 per cent, bonds of the United States
as security, apportioning the amount
loaned in the tiret instance among the
states in proportion to the population,
ami authorizing either party to cancel the
transaction by giving the other six
months’ notice. If the citizens of the
several states do not take this proposi-
tion, I would, after ninety days, make it
free for all. Some lietter ¡»lan to get the
money restored to circulation may lx*
suggested. If any of you can do it 1
hope you will. I have no pur[x>se except
to keep the surplus in uae till we can pay
our debts ami avoid paymeot of exor-
bitaut premiums, the making of extrava-
gant appropriations, or worse thau all
kx'king up in our vaults the people’s
money. All we need is removal of un
necessary and unjust burdens. The man-
hotxl ami muscle of our people will soon
secure our supremacy.”
SI’AKKS ON THE PVBL1C DOMAIN.
;
REFORM.
John G. Carlisle of Kentucky. R|*eaker
of the house of representatives, made
the leading address of the evening. The
toast to which he responded was “Ameri
can Industries; their Growth and l’ros-
lierity Cannot be Promoted by Unneces
sary or Unequal Taxation.” Although
the toast asserted a self-evident truth,
began Carlisle, we cannot afford to ignore
the fact that even in this age of philo-
s >phic speculation and practical knowl
edge there are men in the front ranks of
literature, polities anil business, who se
riously contend thai the government can
make its citizens rich and prosperous by
taxing them. All taxatiou, Carlisle de
clared, no matter how it may be disguised
or in what manner its payment may be
enforced. is ultimately a charge upon
labor. He emphatically stated that sub
stantial equality in adjustment of rates
of taxation, and uniformity in the desig
nation of articles upon which it shall be
imposed, are not only attainable but es
sential. Under the present system of
taxation for protective purposes, a few ;
have become very rich, but many have
become poor, and the gulf between lux
ury and penury is growing wider and
deeper day by day. But with the power 1
of taxatiou exercised only for the pur
pose of raising revenue for the support |
of the government, principles of sub- I
stautial equality and uniformity can lx* I
recognized and enforce«!.
Carlisle conclude«! in the following I
words: “No matter who may desert or ,
who may falter, the great fight for reform j
will go on. This country does not belong
to either mon®i»oly or communists, and
the people will save it from Ixith. The
people, in spite of all combinations and
conspiracies, will ultimately see that true
principles of justice and equality prevail
in the legislation of the country. Even
to prevent a continuance of long-prevail
ing, existing and constantly increasing
evils, they will not rush from one extreme
to another, but will proceed carefully, de
liberately and resolutely to correct in
equalities and remove unnecessary bur
dens ami open the paths that lead to
peace and prosperity. While free trade
is impracticable, industrial ami commer
cial emancipation can and will be accom
plished by wise and moderate measures
of reform, without interfering with any
private enterprise or injuring any public
interest. To this some of ns at least are
irrevocably ¡Hedged, not only by the tra
ditions and declarations of the political
party to which we belong, but by a sense
of personal and official duty which can
not be disregarded without betraying the
confidence repost'd in us by the people.
Whether in public or in private life I
shall stand by that pledge, and to the ex
tent of niv abilities ami opportunities
contribute in every way to the early and
complete triumph of revenue reform."
W. A. J. Sparks, commissioner of the
general land office, in speaking upon "The
Public Lands, the People’s Heritage f«»r
Homes,” gave his views upon the ,»r«q»er
policy to be pursued by the govemment
in regard to each class of public lands.
He referred first to lands that ha«l been
granted to railroads. He held that while
the obligations of the government, as far
as incurred, must be carried out, the ef
fects of this doubtful and mistaken land
grant legislation must not lie so magni
fied that, while requiring of the govern
ment a strict compliance with its part of
the contract, the corporations shall be al
lowed unlimited license to violate theirs.
It was true that it takes two parties to
tnak«? a bargain, and it was equally true
that failure of one party to a contract is
release of the obligations of the other.
He was ¡»repared to say that in grants
amounting to 110,000,000 acres there lias
been no such com|»liance with the law by
the companies as binds the government
to any legal obligation in resp«>et to
granted lands. By the Northern Pacific
railroad alone nearly 40,000,000 acres ot
the people's heritage for homes were lx*-
ing unjustly withheld. An act should be
passed declaring forfeiture of grants, it
only to the extent of the portions of um
constnicted roads at the time fixed by
law for tlieir entire completion. Such an
act, while a measure of partial justice
only, would yet be of incalculable benefit
by restoring to the p«x>plc for settlement
an«l free homes not less than seventy
millions of acres, and would leave th«
companies, at the average price of lands,
more than enough to meet the légitimât«
cost of the entire construction of then
roads.
Great laml grants to private» individ
uals, Commissioner Sparks said, wen
nearly all made for colonization purposes,
and are not binding unless the contlitions
involved have been complied with. His
characterization of these grants was al
most equally sweeping as that of railroad
lands. The manner in which existing
laws operate in regard to swamp lands,
pre-emption, homestead, timber culture
and «lesert lanils. wa^insparinglv con
demned by the speaker. Before resuming
bis seat. Commissioner Sparks briefly re
viewed his course in office, and «leclared
that his office had been directed solely
to the ¡»revention of illegal control oi
lands, recovery of those fraudulently held
to which title has not yet been passed,
and to protection of lauds for actual set
tlement an«l Ix'uefitof actual inhabitants.
Mammoth Chee*«-.
New York Timc‘
'L’homas J. Lipton, of Glasgow , who is
saiil to lx» the most extensive retail pro
vision dealer in tlie worlil, lieing th«1 pro
prietor of over thirty stores iu Great
Britain, is awaiting a big consignment
from New York in the shape of fifteen
monster cheeses that are now on tlieir
way over the <x*ean. They are the big
gest cheeses ever math'. Richardson.
Beel»e «V Co., of East Aurora, New York,
have built them, having found it neces
sary to obtain and use the milk of no
fewer than 3,000 cows in one day. The
cheeses weigh from 3,.500 to 1,000 pounds
each, the curd in their composition com
ing from several different factories, lieing
pressed, ground, mixed and salted at the
Aurora factory that turns them out com
plete. They are about four an«l a half
feet high and over six feet in diameter,
with a circumference of twenty feet. It
was iu'cessary for the makers of these
monster cheeses each weighing as much
as seventy ordinary ones to const ru«'t
an exceptionally big press, and when
each cheese camo from the press it was
essential to move it swinging upon trun
nions, so that it might be turned anil set
either end up, much as Lieutenant Gor-
ringe swung the obelisk— all this without
marring the form of the cheese, not caus
ing it to bulge or change its form in any
way. The success of this application of
mechanical devices was complete.
Though they are of such great size the
cheeses are all perfect iu form.

DOUBLE HOMICIDE.
N ew Y ork . Nov. 18.—Ex-President
Chester A. Arthur di«xl at his home in
this city at 5 o’clex'k this morning. The
news of his sudden death came as a gTeat
surprise. Not witlislaniling the alarming
rumors as to liis health during the Hum
mer months, a sui»j»s«'d improve
ment in his condition was noted during i
his stay in New London, Conn., and the I
apparent confidence expressed by friends |
who remained close to him create«l the
impression that liis health had been radi ■
cally improved, giving him promise of a
new lease of life. His disease was olio af
fecting his kidneys, ami those near him
ha«l uo faith in his recovery; but his sud-
d«-n demise was not spoken of. He l»egan :
to sink shortly after midnight, and at 3
o'clock it was known that death was ap- |
preaching. He passed away without ap- .
parent pain.
!
Arthur’s death was unexi>ected. it be-
ing not suppose«l outbid«' of his house I
that he was in any immediate danger.
As s«xm as the news was ma«ie publi«*

unexi>ected by the attending physicians,
terminated his life. The 6troke came in
liis sleep, between Tuesday night and
We«lneeday morning, and he «lid not rally
thereafter, liis death was painless, the
slow going out of a burned ilown candle,
and for hours before the end came he
was unconscious to his surroundings.
His son and daughter, his sister, his
former partner. Sherman W. Kuevals,
and his closest friend, were at his bedside.
All reports to the contrary, notwithstand
ing. Mr. Arthur’8 health was not improv
ed during his stay in New London, an«l
on his return, October 1st, he was no bet
ter than when he left the city. As time
pa**e«l there was no permanent improve-
m«»nt and the physicians feared some
such sudden stroke as the one to which
lie succrtmbed. In his enfeebled condi
tion even a light stroke of apoplexy would
prove fatal to the once robust patient.
But with the beginning of the present
week a marked change for the l»etter set
in.
Tuesday theex-l’resideut felt better and
stronger than at any time since his illness,
and commented hopefully on the fact.
It was near midnight when his attendant
left him alone in his bedroom, an«l noth
ing was heard from him during the early
morning hours. He was not disturbed
until his attendant entere«! his room at
8 o’ckx'k yesterday morning. He found
Mr. Arthur lying on his side breathing
heavily, and could not rouse him.
The family answered hi» summons, but
failed to elicit any sign of consciousness
or recognition from the ex-I’reeident. In
alarm they summoned his physician, Dr.
Peters, who has been in attendance upon
Air. Arthur throughout his illness, and
who ree|x>n«led promptly and at once saw
that he was suffering from a stroke of
cerebral apoplexy. A Binall blood vessel
in the brain had buret, and paralysis of
the right side ensued. From the moment i
the iliscovery was made, all hope was
known to be in vain, but no efforts were
spareil to bring the patient back to con
sciousness. They were all alike failure«.
Mr. Arthur lay motionless and speech
less all day. He knew what was goiug
I
on about him, for he pressixl his doctor's
hand and put out his tongue when asked
to do so, but be never spoke or gave any
other sign of sonsciousness. Last night
at 6 o'cltx'k the enfeebled pulse, more dif
ficult respiration and other signs of phys
ical failure imlieated to the watchful eyes
of his physicians that the end was draw
ing near. A change of course came on I
rajtiilly. and his sisters anil children 1
gathered at his Itedsiile. Dr. Wm. Valen
tine. Dr. Peter’s partner anil .Surrogate
Hollins stayed with him «luring the night.

Dr. I jouih Wolf, who made the sensa
tional discovery a while ago that the
Sankuru river afforded a more direct and
more easily navigated route to ceutral
Africa than the Congo, made anot her dis
covery in the course of the same journey
which was quite as remarkable if not so
important. Ou the banks of the Lonami
river, far toward the center of the conti
nent, he says he found whole villages that
were built in the trees. The natives,
partly to protect themselves from the river
when in Hood, and partly to make it more
difficult for their enemies to surprise
them, build their huts on the limbs of
the trees where the thick foliage almost
completely hides the structures from
view. The inmates possess almost the
agility of monkeys, and they climb up in
or descend from their little houses with
astonishing ease. It is believed they are
the only Africans yet known who live in
trees. In Borneo some of the natives
are said to live in trees, and Mr. Chal
mers in his book on New Guinea, tells of
of a number of tree houses that he visited
on that Island. These huts, which are
built near the top of very high trees, are
used for lookout purposes, or as a place
of refuge for women and children in case
of attack. They are perfect little huts
with sloping roofs and platforms in front,
to which exten«L« the long ladder, by
means of which the natives reach the
huts. Mr. Gill desenbss one of these
houses which was used as a residence.
He says it was well built, but that it
rocked uncomfortably in the wind.
.GruulS l’a.b Courier, Nov. 19.
On last Fritlay evening just before 10
P. m .. news reached this city of a battle
unto death which «xvnrred at the ranch
of ol«l Indian “Umpqua J«je," about six
teen miles down the river, between Joe
and a greaser named Albert Pico, the son-
in-law of J«Ae. The coroner re«|ueHt«xl
Justice of the l’eact« John Gixxlell to go
to the scene of the conflict an«l holil an
inquest. Accordingly he in conipanv
with Dr. Vandyke. Prof. B cubou , Rubt. S.
Smith ami others started alxmt 10 o’clixik
for Joe’s ranch, which they reached about
three o'clock in the morning. After they
had shouted, Pico's wife, leaving her in-
fant anti another small child with the
two null, came to the river and ferrie«!
them across. U|x>n their arrival at the
ranch, they found lxjth men dead. Pico
had just bought a new Marlin rifle and a
go«xl supply of whisky had licen obtained,
which we understand the Indians got
from Lee.bu'k. a Chinaman of thisphuN*.
Thus stoek«-d up with glory the two men
went out in the aftem«x>n to slioot at tar-
get, after which they returned to the cabin
and played a few games of cards. Altoul
this time I’ieo ap|»eare«l to be very gouty
an«i inclined to lx? mean, and, noticing
the dogs after a inttle, lie got his
new gun and went for the dogs killing
lstl.ii of them at three sh«Jta. About
this time it seems that Joe suspicioned
that Pico had made up his mind to kill
everything ou th«1 ranch, so he shot a
load «»f bird shot out of his old yager
aiul load«* I it with buckshot, he then
shut and fast«;n«Hi th«? tloor with a chain.
I’ieo soon returned iu a perfect state of
frenzy, apparently bent on the destruc
tion of everything lx?fore him, and find
ing the door locked against him, he at
tempted to force it open, when Joe told
him to not come in but to go away and
let him alone, to which he replied by
smashing the door <lown Ixxlily and
plunging into the house; the same instant
Joe fired, the entire charge of buckshot
entering loco’s Ixxly at the left groin,
severing the femoral artery- and leaving a
hole through him nearly as large as a
man's fist. Pico fell, but with his hip
shattered to pieces an«l his life’s blood
rushing from his b«xly, he arose to his
feet anil fired three shots at Joe with
startling rapidity and unerring aim. one
of which tore Joe's heart into shreds, and
another ot which passed through his
body entering the left side of I ub I »ack
and coming out below the left nipple.
The tlurd shot is not accounted for. Both
tncn fell dead at the same instant. The
family consisted of Joe and two «laugh
ters an«l I’ieo. he having married «jne of
them. When the shooting lx?gan in the
house the two women ran out doors, re
maining until all was quiet in the house,
when upon their return, they found to
their horror that both men were dead.
Oae of them started immediately to An
derson Vannoy's for assistance. Arriving
there, Holman Peter kindly came to town
for a doctor and corouor. Prof. H. L.
Benson, Robt. S. Smith, Holman Peter,
Ira P. Sparling, A. Vannoy and W. L.
Gibson actcil as a jury- of inquest, finding
that Umpqua Joe came to his death from
a gunshot fired by Pico, and that Joe
shot and killed I’ieo while acting in self-
defence. Th«jse who attendfxi the inquest
say the scene was one of bbxxl and des
peration carrietl to the utmoet extreme.
It seetns that I’ieo was a dangerous man
and that Joe wanted to get rid of him,
an«l that I’ieo hail on several «xvasious
run everyIxxly off the ranch, they having
to flee to save their lives. Umpqua Joe

country, which information doubtless
