W. C. T. V. Miscellaneous.
Last Friday being the day for the first
regular meeting of the month, our
monthly devotional meeting was held,
which was conducted by Mrs. S. French.
The Bible reading as given by her was
highly interesting and profitable to all
present ; and led to the free enterchange
of views and ideas concerning the se
lected. These meetings are open to all, - and
we extend a cordial invitation to all to
attend who are interested in meetings of
this character.
- On the first Friday of each month at 3
p. m. devotional meetings will be held
at the Reading Room.
On next Friday afternoon the second
meeting of the month will be held, the
monthly mothers' meeting. The sub
ject for discussion will be Circumstances
and Influences which most effect early
Childhood. We hope this meeting, will
be well attended by members and friends.
At our last business meeting motion
was made of the timely article of "R. G."
"Hang out the Sign," The Union de
cided with one accord that it was high
time for prompt action with regard to
placing an appropriate sign in front of
the Free Reading Room. The matter
has been unduly postponed for some
time. But is now in the hands of an
efficient committee who will see that the
matter is looked after without delav.
Their Own Graves.
The punishment which follows ' wrong
doing .is sometimes so evidently just and
appropriate that it is natural to speak of
it as "poetic justice." The penalty is not
only deserved, but is so nearly adapted
to the offence as to seem almost ideal, or
poetical in its fitness. . Under this head'
conies an order of General Scott's lately
printed in the Magazine of American
History.. .- . ,
"General Scott was in command at
Rock Island when the cholera broke out
there, and after various injunctions in
thia order as to sobriety and cleanliness,
he adds this curious paragraph':"
"In addition to. the foregoing, the senr.
ior surgeon present recommends the. use
of flannel shirts, flannel drawers and
wollen stockings'; but- the' commanding'
general who has seen much of disease,
knows that it is intemperance which,: in
the present state ' of the atmosphere,
generates and spreads the calamity,- and
that when once-spread good and tem
perate men are likely to take the infec
tion. . ,.
"He, therefore. . peremptorily com
mands that every soldier or ranger who
shall be found drunk or sensibly intoxi
cated after the publication of this order
be compelled, as soon as his strength.
will permit, to dig a grave at a suitable
burying place, large enough for his .own
reception, as such grave cannot fail soon
to be wanted for the drunken man him
self or some, drunken companion. : This
order is given as well, to serve for the
punishment of drunkenness as to spare
good and temperate men the labor of
digging graves for their worthless com
panions." A Bright Interpreter.
It is doubtful if a dream was ever more
ingeniously or, more appropriately inter
preted than in the following brie'f story,
from a Scotch paper Indeed, the story
is a sermon in itself : -
A laborer at the Dundee harbor . latelv
told his wife, on awakening, a curious
dream which he had during the night.
He dreamed that he saw coming toward
him four rats. The first one was very
e . j . r . t i . . . "
iai, anu waa iouowea Dy. two . lean rats,
the rear rat being blind.
The dreamer, who was superstitious.
was greatly perplexed as to what evil
might. follow, as be had been told that to
dream of rats denotes coming calamity.
He annealed to his wife mnwrninir this
but she could pot help him. -His son, a
snarp lad, wno neara ms tatner tell the
story,' volunteered to be the interpreter.
"The fat rat," - he said, "is the man
who keeps-the public house, that ye
gang till sae often, and the twa. lean anea
are me and niv. mither, and the blind
ane is yerself, father." '
Little Bo Peep!
' Our city is in great luck to be able to
hear this charming 'operetta which will
be given Saturday April 11th in conjunc
tion, with, the Art Tableaux, -which the
management have consented, to repeat,
1 The addition of the full calcium lights,
which did -not arrive . in time for last
Wednesday's performance; will "prove a
great attraction and all will be well paid
who . witness these beautiful . tableaux
when given with the customary .lights.
Little Bo Peep has been long drilled and

Dallea.f -. - , a-: . ; .- .

fit of , the -" Episcopal church . and the
money remaining in our own city, should
be well patronized.- Do not fail to be at

During the past .three days there were
shipped from the stock yards - eight- car
loads of cattle, one of hogs " and two! of
sheep. The sheop were from this county j
lhe hoga and cattle were for Baker City,
' Northern Pacific K. K, Circular., .
Tacoma, Wash., March 16, 1891.
This certifies that on' the twelfth day
of October, 1871, the Board of Directors
of the Northern Pacific Railroad com
pany passed a resolution inviting settle
ment and improvement of the agricult-
rual lands of said company,- prior to
their being offered for sale, with the as
surance that such settlers or; improvers,
as soon as the land should be appraised
and ready for sale, would have "the
first privilege of purchasing them upon
the regular terms of sale and at regular
price such landa in such localities, which
will be fixed without reference to the
improvementa :
"Provided, such persons shall file in
the land office of said company in the
district; where -said lands lie, written. no-
tice of such settlement, and shall accept
the privilege ;upon . the condition that
when the prices of , the lands -are fixed
and notice thereof is sent to fhis resi
dence. orostiofEce or , otherwise, the
said person wiflj within ninety days from
the date of eiich ... notice, enter .; into a
regular contract' with the';, companv i -for
purchase of the lands, and if he fails to
do so, the company may sell the lands to
any other person; ' -.-';
That subeequentl v - to-wit ; on . the
fourth day .of January, v;1878,, another
resolution to the same effect waa passed
by the said Board of Directors
"That actual settlement on the land waa
not an essential requirement, but bona-
hde improvement was a prerequisite to
securing any rights thereunder ;
lliat were the lands embraced in the
forfeiture provisions of the act of Sep
tember 29, 1890, to be offered for sale by
the company, persons now in possession
or owning valuble. improvements there
on, would be, under our existing policy
and practice, accorded a preference right
of purchase, and would be notified and
allowed ninety days, to enter into con
tract for the purchase ot-the same, in ac
cordance with, the terms of said resolu
tion ;
I hat the resolution referred to was re
garded by me and by my predecessor a
and all connected with the office, and
the public was frequently so informed
by publication, correspondence and
otherwise, as , constituting a general
license and invitation to all persona to
go upon and improve the agricultrual
lands of the company prior to their be
ing offered for sale, on the assurance that
preference right of purchase would be
accorded to the person found in - posses
sion or having valuable improvements
thereon when land waa placed oh the
market.

The Open River Convention at Portland.
The board of trade last night appointed
Messrs. Hugh Glenn, B. F. Laughlin, M.
T. Nolan and G. J. Farley delegates to
the chamber of commerce convention to
be held in .' Portland tomorrow. The
president of the board, Mr. A. S. Macal
lister,. also went down to participate. It
is expected this gathering of the busi
ness men of the Columbia river region
will centralize matters, so that it will
facilitate the opening of this great river
to free navigation. - -.

A man; named Patteson; about ; 35
years old, who was formerly in the em
ploy of the company as engineer and
brakeman, was found yesterday after
noon lying in.a stupified state among the
hay bales in the Saltmarshe warehouse.
The marshal was notified and taking
him in charge the man was conveyed to
the city jail where he waa placed in a
cell. Both the marshal and .the prisoners
in the jail supposed he - waa drunk and
paid no attention to him till thia morn
ing when he was found to be dead. ' A
partly empty bottle of morphine was
found on the, deceased, which a the
coroner's inquest held this afternoon,
was proved to have been bought . for
Patteson by John J. Campbell 'of. this
city. The inquest is in progress as we
go to press, but there can be no doubt
that death resulted from the effects of
the morphine. It is said the man had
been suffering lately from neuralgia and
may have taken the drug to deaden the
pain. It is also said he has a wife and
family living near Yaquina.
Jim Blakeney is as mad aa a wet hen,
and from his own atory, with some rea
son. ' Thia morning one of his teams waa
being unloaded of cord wood at a Chinese
' wash - house on T Firsl street 'when a
switch engine daehed up at such a rate
that the . team could only avoid being
dashed to pieces by chosing the.1 alterna
tive of backing over a bluff more than
twenty feet high. ' How the wagon and
horses escaped without injury ia .more
than we can. tell but. they; did,'." and the
wagon was pulled out of the hole by ropes.
; Jim,, remonstrated ' with" the . engineer
only to be told that if - he did not keep
out of the way the engine would run
over him too. Of course Jim . will have
to keep out of the way for an express
man has no rights that a railroad should
! respect, and for that matter neither has
any one else.

Is Disease a Punishment?
The following advertisement, published
by a prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as a punishment for sin :
"Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a sever cold? We will tell
you. To cure a cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tled in the system. Thia can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man .gives timely warning
and plainly tells 'yon in nature's way,
that as a punishment for some indiscre
tion, you are io be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The firat symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is a dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by a profuae watery expectoration and
the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. Iu severe cases
there ia a thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do?. It is only necessary
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
moat caaea will effectually counteract it,
and cure what would have been a severe
cold within one or two days time. Try it
and be convinced." Fifty cent bottles for
