NOTES AND NEWS.
Snow in Ogden and 106 weather in
Nebraska were reported simultaneously
in the dispatches the other day.
The cholera is still raging in Japan and
China according to reports and is preva­
lent to some extent in Hawaii.
A railroad rate of one and one-fiifth
fare for the round trip will be allowed on
all railroads entering Spokane to all
delegates attending the Northwest Miners’
Association Convention, to be held in
Spokane, October 2d and 3d.
The young Duke of Marlborough has
announced his engagement to Miss
Consuelo Vanderbilt, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt. As is
generally known it takes nine figures to
emphasize the young lady’s availability
to the title of duchess.
To show how good people may differ in
opinion, while the Washington conference
denounces the hop industry, it is casually
mentioned in the Eugene Guard that
three or four Lane county preachers are
working in the yards and helping to save
the crop.
The Chicago Tribune has a word to say
in regard to the fruitless results of mis­
sionary labors among the Chinese. The
Tribune notes that a great deal of mis­
sionary effort has been expended upon
the Chinese in California, and especially
in San Francisco, but it requires a mi­
croscope to discover any real conversions
after forty years of labor.
In the way of
doiug actual good for the wretched people
of our slums 8100 will accomplish more
than 810,000 spent in trying to change
the Chinese in their Flowery Kingdom
into followers of Christ aud heretics to
the doctrines of Confucius, Taking ev­
erything into consideration, it is a , fair
question whether there is not a great
waste of Christian effort as well as of
mouey in these attempts to convert Chi­
nese who won’t be converted ami whether
it wonld not be more practical as well as
more Christiau like to concentrate Borne
of this effort aud money upon the heathen
at oor very doors who kuow neither
Christ nor Confucius.
The fourth annual reunion of the old
soldiers and sailors of Southern Oregon
closed on Saturday after a most success­
ful series of entertainments which seem
to have been thoroughly enjoyed by the
many visitors who thronged the granite
city.
On Saturday morning the business
meeting of the district association which
selected the place for the next annual re­
union and elected officers for the ensuing
year was held. Central Point and Ashland
were the chief candidates for the next re­
union, Ashland receiving a majority over
all votes cast. The newly elected officers
are as follows: District Commander, M.
S. Damon. Medford; S. V. 0., T. E. Hills,
Ashland; J. V. C., J. E. Peterson, Grants
Pass: Quartermaster, Mrs. W. K. Davis,
Medford; Chaplain, Rev. C. A. Stine,
Ashland; Adjutant, S. H. Dunlap, Talent.
W atterson’s Address.
In his address before the Grand Army
Encampment at Louisville, Mr. Watter­
son, editor of the Courier-Journal, said
“That promissory note, drawn by the
city of Louisville, indorsed by me am
discounted by you in Pittsburg a year
ago, has matured aud I am here to pay
it. Exceut that the historic distinctions
have lonfrbeeu obliterated here it might
lie mentioned that I come before you as
the representative alike of those who wore
the blue aud those who wore the gray in
that great combat, which, whatever else
it did or didn’t, left no shadow upon
American soldiership; no stain on Amer­
ican manhood. But in Kentucky the war
ended 20 years ago. Here at last the
lesson has been taught and learned that
you cannot chain the eagle, you dare not
harm the dove, but every gate barred to
hate will open wide to love.
“And the flag; God bless the tlag! Can
you doubt the loyal sincerity of those
who from house top and roof have thrown
it to the breeze? Let some sacrilegious
hand tie raised to haul it down and see.
These are honest Hags with honest hearts
behind them. They are the symbols of
nationality as precious to us as to you
Aud why not? W hat is left for you and
me to cavil about, far less to fight about?
Slavery is gone, secession is dead. The
Union with its system of statehood still
iulact, still survives. Lifting open the
gates of these gateways to the south I bid
you welcome in the name of the people
whose voice is the voice of God. ¥ou
came aud we resisted you; you come and
we greet you; for times change and men
change with them. You will find here
scarcely a sign of the battle; grim visaged
war has smoothed its wrinkled front and
which ever way yon turn on either side,
yon shall encounter as you pass those
smouldering heaps, which remind you of
valor aud travail, only the magnanimous
spirit of dead heroes with Grant, Sher­
man and Thomas and McPherson and
Logan looking down from the happy
stars, as if repeating the words of the
master— Charity for all, malice toward
none.”
THURSDAY.
The delay of the southbound train and
the throng of people who joined in the
procession of welcome to Oregon’s U. S.
senators at the depot, enabled at least
1000 people who were not in the proces­
sion to secure seats in the auditorium,
and long before the distinguished guests
made their appearance the Chantauqua
building was packed like a box of sar­
dines, not even standing room could be
obtained and many hundreds of people
were turned away. Masic and recitation
filled the interim of waiting and when
U. S. Senators Mitchell and McBride and
Congressman Hermann appeared on the
platform a perfect ovation of welcome
was given to them. One of the happiest
efforts of our excellent band filled the
place with music and the auditors with
enthusiasm, and was followed by a most
impressive invocation by the Rev. G. \V.
Black. The mixed quartet, consisting of
the Misses Silsby and Roper and Messrs.
Childs and Barnes, tilled every one with
admiration and delight with their fin­
ished rendering of the “Soldiers Fare­
well.” “The Sword of Bunker Hill,” by
Miss Thomas brought a storm of applause
and an eucore to this talented lady soloist.
The Hon. John H. Mitchell was then
introduced amid a storm of applause, and
in one of his happy and statesmanlike
addresses held the throng for an hour,
Senator Mitchell has served the people
so long as U. S. senator and is so well
known by them, always so royally re­
ceived, that it would be presumption to
attem pt to repeat what he said or attempt
to analyze bis speech. A man of very
extended experience, a recognized states­
man among the great statesmen of the
nation, Senator Mitchell is always ready
with scholarly tact and ability to enter-
tarn and instruct. His dignified review
of the progress since the rebellion, the
handwriting of the veteran on the present
foremost position of the Great Republic
among the nations of the earth, com
manded that attention and applause to
which it was entitled. The reception, the
parade, and the rendering of the program
at the auditorium, made up one of the
grandest ovations ever witnessed in Ash­
land.
Senator Mitchell’s speech was followed
by some of the sweet music from Ash-
laud’s gifted vocalists, Misses Esther
Silsby aud Carrie Roper, whose reputation
ae singers is rapidly being made known
over the Pacific coast.
Senator McBride came to the stand
b ut was so much indisposed as not to be
able to address the people. They, how­
ever, appreciated his coming so far and
hope to hear him talk in the near future.

that in its waxen purity it meant love,
loyalty and a hearty welcome, and that
only honor, kindness and courtesy
awaited us. They said let us be friends
now, and friends forevermore, and let us
be united and go down hand in hand
along the corridor of time, under one flag
and with but one Union.
‘The meetings that took place while
we were in Louisville will never be
forgotten by thousands who participated
in them until the grave shall separate us
and we have passed to our long homes.
All guests vied with one another in praises
of the way in which Louisville and the
people of the South entertained and cared
for our comfort and manifested her
purpose to do us honor. Entertainm ents
were liberal, handsome and numerous.
One hundred and fifty thousand
soldiers of the Union army were in line
and standing by the wayside on the day
of the grand review. Thousands upon
thoiisamls of people, ex-Con federate
soldiers and citizens of the South, fined
the thoroughfares, housetops, balconies,
windows, grandstand aud every conceiva­
ble place that they could get, to look up­
on the ‘old vets’ as they marched by.
Enthusiasm from among them was con­
vincing evidence that they were .in
earnest in cheering the old flag aud the
boys who wore the blue. Oregon dele­
gates were cheered lustily at times as
they passed down the long line of people.
The barbecue was a grand event. Five
huudred head of cattle and sheep were
killed and consumed.”
The General grew eloquent and the
throng showed by their applause that
they reciprocated the glad tidings of
friendship from the sunny South and
felt that a special messenger stood be­
fore them with greetings and love. No
words more touching hnve been spoken
at the auditorium than those of Geu.
Compson.
FRIDAY.
One of the grandest features of the re
union was the reception tendered Gen
H. B. Compeou on Friday. The militia
and cadets, under the command of Capt.
May, together with large delegations of
citizens in carriages, on bicycles and on
foot, met the general at the depot aud
escorted him to the Hotel Oregon. The
geueral was booked for an address in the
evening and as he entered the packed pa
viliou aud stepped on the stage to listen
to the afternoon address of Col. Edward
Hill he was greeted with rounds of ap
plause and welcome.
After the invocation and usual musical
treats that have beeu made so striking a
feature of the reunion, Col. Hill was in
traduced aud was received as a distiu
guished soldier and old veteran should
be. As the Colonel arose everyone recog
nized in his dignified beariug aud pres­
ence the true type of a man who was not
only a soldier and patriot but one w ho
felt proud of the distinction which a
proper respect for the American veteran
entitles him to. Col. Hill’s address was
short but of that military character which
told of the lasting impressions made upon
him by the many bloody encounters in
which he figured so nobly as to secure
from congress oue of the few medals
awarded by them for gallant service. As
he repented the commands, so often heard
in those days, Bounded in the stillness of
the night, and which by their very char­
acter signified preparation for carnage,
many of the old veterans almost Btarted
from their seats in a momentary impulse,
so realistic did the commands seem and so
vividly were they remiude«! of those trials
through which they had passed that tried
men’s souls. The Colouel is au impress­
ive man whose presence ami words com­
mand respect aud speak him every inch a
soldier. Following the address were mu­
sical treats.
Though the evening was cool the
auditorium was again packed liefore the
hour of 7:30 and not less than 1200 peo­
ple were present to listeu to the address of
Gen. H. B. Compeou, whose inctodnction
was loudly cheered.
The general is another soldier of wide
distinction aud thrilling experience. His
address dealt largely with the great G.
A. R. celebration recently held at Louis­
ville, Kentucky, which he attended as
one of the delegatee from Oregon. He
spoke with great ferver of the treatment
accorded to the old veterans, aud believes
that it is the precursor of a better under­
standing between the North and the
South. He said iu p a rt:
“Henry Watterson threw open the
gates to the city, Kentucky aud the
South, and bade us a hearty welcome.
He was clothed with the authority of his
people, aud it seemed that he had au in­
spiration from God, as the language that
fell from his lips was the grandest that
could be uttered by mortal man. He left
uo doubt in our minds that he was speak­
ing sincerely for the South, and that the
Southern people, through him, were in
earnest to give us one of the grandest re­
ceptions ever recorded. He stated that
a welcome awaited us sweet as the odor
from the finest flowers that ever bloomed,
and that his people wanted to meet aud
greet us aud befriemls; that friendship to
be as lasting as time.”
“Passing through Louisville's outer
gates,'’ continued General Compson, “we
beheld a city decorated in our honor from
border to border. The decorations were
more exteusive than in any city where
the eucampment has been held. We met
our former foes, who had grappled with
us on rnauy hard-fought field, aud who
had shown a valor and bravery that none
but Americans could show. There we
stood, what was left of the two armies,
face to face; armies that had shown a
gallantry and bravery upon the battle
tbat had challenged the wonder and
admiration of the world. With out­
stretched bauds they extended us the
white roae of peace, with the assurance
BELATED VETERANS.
The following list of veterans who reg­
istered at the reunion Friday and Satur­
day, added to the list already published,

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS DUE.
The G. A. R. encampment of the past
week held here was without any question
of doubt a great success. From, begin­
ning to the eud was a continuous round
of pleasure and entertainment. I t is
most gr itifying to Ashland that the vis­
itors, without an exception so far as the
T idings has heard, went hence with the
highest sentiments of satisfaction. Ash­
land feels highly gratified with the ce­
menting of kindly feeling that has result­
ed and congratulates herself on being the
beneficiary of happy accident. Such suc­
cesses do not depend ou the courtesy and
public spirit alone of the citizens of the
place, b ut largely on the happy condi­
tions with which nature has endowed the
locality. Ashland possesses so many at­
tractions which neither art nor public
spirit can give, that taken in connection
with the beet efforts of any appreciative
community, must of necessity round out
the line of entertainment with the fullest
habiliments of success.
We are fortu­
nate iu possessing those natural attrac­
tions which make our little city the natu­
ral playground of Southern Oregon, to
which a hearty welcome will always be
extended.
Two Dreadful Fires.
Cottage Grove, Or., Sept. 20.—This
community was horror-stricken this morn­
ing upon learning the fate of Mrs. Mary
Grousbeck, who was burned to death last
night on Row river, 10 miles from here.
She was sitting by the fire about 5 a. m.,
nursing her baby, six weeks of age, when
her dres6 caught from the flames. She
put her baby in the cradle, but by the
time that was doDe, she was all ablaze.
Her husband was away from home, aud
her sister, returning from school, heard
her screaming, but reached her too late,
her clothes being ail burned off. Her
sister wrapped her in bedclothing and
immediately sought aid, but the injured
woman died at 11 p. m.
Eugene, Or., Sept. 20.—M. B. Pitney,
of J unction City, was killed about noon
today by the accidental discharge of a
gun. He was eating dinner, wheu it
commenced raining, aud he went ont to
get a shotgun, which he had left iu a
wagon. He took the gun by the muzzle
to draw it out of the wagon when one
barrel was discharged, aud the load of
bird shot entered his body just below the
heart. He died iu five minutes.
