A. If U1 t. , 0 THE INDEPENDENT. THURSDAY JAN. 19, 1888 LOCAL AND UENEKAL. Farmers are jubilant since their gram is covered by snow, which will protect it from "freezing out." Along with the inconvenience of snow, do not forget that it is a great fertilizer and. aids the lands greatly by dispelling a surfeit of oxygen . Have you enjoyed the hilarity of a sleigh-ride? Oh, those Mis! Cow bells! What jollity their music tells Lamkin's cow bells! Wrapped up in a robe was Jobe, and his mighty soil a swelling, as some body went through town a yelling, with the jingles a belling Cow bells! Please call and pay your subscrip tions and begin the new year with a clear conscience and a beautifully written receipt. Dr. Bowl by, of Forest drove, visited Hillsboro to-day, and made us a pleasant call. Now is a good time for farmers io get their plows, harrows and farming implements in good condition so that no time may be lost in making repairs when time will be valuable in the spring at seeding time. Give all your machinery a thorough overhauling, bring your plows to the blacksmith shop and have them sharpened, and be ready for "making haste slowly."

Hillsboro will be similarily favored if our people make the request. A morning and evening mail would be a great convenience to the people of both Forest Grove and Hillsboro anil we Lope the citizens of these towns will make an effort and secure this Increase of mail service. When the eyes become weak or the lids inflamed and sore, a disordered sys tem or a scrofulous condition of the blood is indicated, for which Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best remedy. It in vigorates and vitalizes the blood and expels all humors. Uenny Knight, son of John Knight, f Salem, Oregon, was killed on the toboggan slide at Saleni one day last week. There appears to be trouble in the camp of Company E, scconl regiment, at Corvallis. The members are attempt ing to read Captain Smith out of office, and he threatens to have the whole com pany court-martialed. Nevertheless the privates persist in demanding his resignation. Tho alleged cause of the trouble is that the captain is not competent to drill the company. The matter will be referred to the state military board. The evening mail from Portland is quite an accommodation to the people of this city. What we need now is to have the express train leave here an hour later and make better time. If the managers of the road lived in McMinnville they would understand the situation and remedy the faults. Reporter. The Chinamen reported as killed at Newton station last week, has come to life. He was only knocked senseless and has since recovered. He belonged to Talbot's section force, of Cornelius. It was thought for a time he was killed, hence the report. Gilbert Mills, special examiner, of the United States pension bureau, has been in Oregon since last October, look ing into pension business. There are sixty-nine pensioners of the war of 1812 in the state. Of. the entire number, tiiere are about seven who have seen actual service in that war, all of whom are over ninety years of age. Mr. Mills found that the ages of the widow pen sioners range from fifty to seventy-five years, and as the war of 1813 was de clared nearly seventy-five years ago, many of them were not born then. When quite young they married the soldiers of the war, whom they survive by many years. State Superintendent McElroy has decided to appoint Dallas, Polk county, as the place to hold the next teachers institute for the Third judicial district, embracing Marion, Linn. Yamhill, Polk and Tillamook counties. The institute will open Tuesday evening, April 3d, in the new city hall, and continue for three days, adjourning the evening of April 0th. Notice of the teachers institute, to be held at Forest Grove, Saturday, January 21, 1888, did not reach this office in time for publication last week. Read the programme in this issue. Ayer's Hair Vigor improves the beauty of the hair and promotes its growth. It prevents the accumulation of. dandruff, cleanses the scalp, and restores a natural color to gray hair. Have you received Ayer's Almanac for the new year? Leslie Holmes, of Middleton, this county, 19 years old, has a muzzle-loading shotgun, one barrel of which has been loaded for some time. Tuesday morning he undertook to load the remaining barrel, holding his hand over the muzzle. In some way the gun was dis charged, the charge of shot entering the uter edge of the hand, lacerating the two last fingers . Dr. Lyle, of. Middle too, and Dr. Moore of Newberg, were summoned and amputated the fingers. At Benton, recently, the wife of Wesley Roy, a farmer, gave birth to a quartette of two boys and two girls. This is remarkable as it is the first of the kind that ever occurred in the state. All of the children and mother are doing well. McMinnville Reporter. Senator Ingall's beautiful residence in Kansas, costing $30,000, was des troyed by fire last week. The senator also mourns the loss of a beautiful li brary, which he says cannot be replaced. ' Don't fail to call at Weatherred's Drug store and examine the new stock of books and notions. The following dispatch from San Francisco, of date January 14th, will be found of interest to wheat growers, in asmuch as it is likely to affect the price for the better in this valley: "Wheat freights have dropped to such a low figure that wooden ships are rapidly ob tainable to go to Liverpool direct for shillings per ton. The German iron ship Richard Wagner has just been chartered for 21 shillings per ton, the lowest rate ever paid for an iron ship going to England. Shin owners ask 28 to 30 Q - shillings per ton for vessels to come here from England, and 21 and 22 shillings from Australia." Owintr to the inclemency of the a - - - - . weather, the Columbia Poultry associa tion have decided to postpone their exhi bition until February 7th, 1888. Some months ago a prominent phy sician of Aurora, Nebraska, finding his health failing from overwork and other causes, left his practice and moved to Chicago. Arriving there he devoted himself to the practice of a specialty and advertised his business in the papers. For this the state board of health revoked his certificate, which debarred him from the practice of his profession either in a general or a special line. The physician brought action in the circuit court against the state board of health, and Judge Waterman of that court a few days ago rendered a decision in which the ruling of the state board was declared to be unconstitutional. This decision, in effect, is that a physician has the same right to advertise his business as has a grocer or dry goods dealer or real estate operator, and that restrictions upon that right are unconstitutional. The doctor is to be congratulated upon being in strumental in bavins this decision awarded. The practice may be slightly unprofessional, according to the strict ideas of the "regulars," but this has nothing to do with the right of the in dividual to advertise himself as a physician or to call public attention to the fact that he is devoting his euerr;ie to the practice of a special branch of medicine. The small child that was born re cently in La Grande, died Wednesday morning. It was nine days old and weighed only one pound and a half. Gazette.

Gerowe, who came from the east to accept a position as teacher in the United States Indiau training school at Chemawa, under the charge of Superintendent Lee, resigned his po sition on Monday . Mr. Gerowe went to Portland yesterday, and will return to his home in the cast, immediately. Mr. Gerowe is a highly educated man and a thorough gentleman. lie was most efficient and painstaking in his position pre-eminently the right man in the right place, and his treatment should have been such as to warrant him in re maining at the school. Hi place will be hard to till. This school, under its present management, is nothing more nor less that a festering place of jealousy and discontent, and it takes a man with the patience of Job and the meekness of Moses to remain there and retain his self-respect for any length of time. It is a public nuisance and a disgrace to the interior department. It needs a new superintendent worse than any institu tion within the range of the writer's knowledge. Salem Statesman, 18. -Mrs. Van Belt-George has been ac quitted at Salem, Oregon, of the murder of her infant child, at the age of four days. She was discharged yesterday.

" nlO tf The ensuing dispatch from Stock ton, California, to the associated press, taken from the San Francisco Post of January 12th, will prove of interest to some Oregon people: "Mrs. McGee, a pretty brunette, alleged to be 16 years old, last night caused the arrest of a young man named Casoo, accusing him of forcing her into a house of prostitu tion by threats of killing her and her husband. Georgie'a maiden name was Barnell, and she was ruined by Cason in Salem, Oregon, two -years ago. Cason claims to be her husband.

At Hillsboro the ther mometer registered as low as from two to nine degrees below rero, the latter being disputed from four to sii degrees. Dr. Bailey's thermometer registered nine below, and Ledford's about the same; the indicators at the Tualatiu hotel, E. D. Thorn's and a few other points about town, from two to six begrees below. But regardless of the thermometers, it was cold. At the hour of going to press the thermometer has "gone up" to about 60, the snow lies six inches deed, on the ground and indications are favorable for weather.

Uncle Philip Harris is dead! He passed away jK-ncefully and calmly on the 10th at U o'clock r. m. of pneu monia. His two sons, Lafe and Steven, were with him during his short illness. Mr. Har.is was born in Deerficld town ship, CumWrlaud county, New Jersey, on the 21st day of January, 1S03, and was married to the wife who survives him, at the nge of nineteen and she was seventeen. He left New Jersey and settled in Ohio, afterward removed to Msssouii, ami came to Oregon in 1845, when the whole pat ty came near starving to dentil on the route. The pioneer part' who came to ' Ircgoii in those days hav m interesting history which can not be written in this obituary. Uncle Philip lived in Washington county, Ore gon, until about twelve years ago, when he crossed the montains for Eastern Washington and has since resided on the margin of Granite lake, four miles north of Cheney. This remarkable man was an exception to the general mass of man kind; he was a philosopher and com muned with nature preferring lienuties of the char lake, the green ward, the toweriog mountains or the natural environments of life to the gilded church spire, the cushioned pew or fashionable society. He loved God and eschewed evil. No man bore with the afflictions of inanking with more calm ness or charity than did the subject of this sketch. Nothing rutl'el his temper or aroused his anger, always kind, pre suasive and lovable in his dijositirn, always ready with a big heart and C ei hands to aid a struggling fellow man and encourage the young to good works. He was strictly t pioneer and spent all the days of his manhood on the frontier. If he had an enemy on earth when he left it, he was not aware of it. He was a consistent member of the Baptist I church, and done good all the days of Ins life. Truly a remarkable man has gone, full of years and good works If I the world was full of such men, wars would cease, and the door of court houses and jails be closed forever. Viek' t leral UHldr.

Williari Christian, a brakeman on the narrow jauge railroad, was run over and killed by the cars at Brownsville, Oregon, last Thursday. VOREST UKOVE (From our Ueular Correspondent ) On last Friday evening Charley Vaughn, a young man in the employ oj H. D. Bryant, who lives near Gaston, was attacked by a Jersey bull owned bj Mr. Bryant, and narrowly escaped with his life. Mr. Vaughn was doing the chores when he was attacked by the animal, which soon had him down and but for the timely assistance of Mr. Bryant would doubtless never have escaped alive. As it was, he was gored in a frightful manner. This animal, which practically runs at large, is the terror of the community, having chased several parties heretofore. Such a brute should be kept securely tied, and not allowed to run where public travelers are liable to 1m attacked by it. A "word to the wise" should be sufficient. Aaron Wells and wife, of Lafayette, have been visiting with their parents in this place for some time past. A slight disagreement occurred at the Gales Creek school house last Saturday evening, where some exercises were being held.
