He did not stop to ask "Art thou a spirit or goblin, damn yon ?" but up with the poker and biased away. Horrors upon horrors!

Fellows' Compound Syrup of Hvpophoephltea is so prepared that It imparts the vital principal directly to the brain, while it assists in develop ing a vigorous and robust body ; A ' correspondent (Mr. R. D. Mo ! Klnnon writes from Oakland as fol- lows: "I notice that a: scribbler in the Star states that I have been taking subscriptions to the Independent at h rate of $1.50 per ariumn. The writer utters a falsehood in this much: I do not take subscriptions to the paper lese than the price you offer. I did tell one man that If he would take the paper and pay 1.50 that I w,ouli see that It came one year; and you know that you received $2 60 for that man's subscription. J contribut ed a dollar in this matter that people . might if)9 in their neighborhood an ft I honest, earnest newspaper, and to help the cause of the taxpayers." The P.J.

To-day will commence the quarterly meeting of the M. E. church south, a( Oakland, Rev. J. R. N. Bell presiding, t It is reported by a letter from a friend that the losses by . the- recent freihet in the neighborhood of G&rd Iner and along the Smith river will amount to $12,000. Our old friend Jack Smith knows how to enjoy life. Forty couples met at his residence the other evening: and danced away the fleeting hours with nimble feet until daylight dawned. R.

AH of us can remember when in our child hood) some good person remembered us ; and together with the remem b ranee of that birthday of our Sa viour is tberemembranceof that kind friend's bequest. That time may date back ten or twelve years ; it is cer tain thereafter so long as the present remained as a gentle reminder there never came a Christmas without the friend was remembered with a warm, friendly feeling. Tbe present always brought the friend to mind, and its presence seemed to make the absent appear in person, so strong was fancy at work repainting facts of the dear gone-bye. Then think of it, if in night's solitude, one had a good pen, clean : sheet of paper, and the thoughts of the absent friend made mellow by a pleasant reminiscence of past happy hours what a fine, loving letter he or she could write. A gold pen will last quarter of a century, and is an enduring present. It can be used at the end of a quarter of a century to write a letter to the one who gave It twenty-five years before, if it is a good one. Dr. Hamilton has gold pens. from the celebrated manufactory of Edward Todd 4 Co., and sells them ac cording to size. They are warranted to be sixteen carats gold fine, and range in prices to suit all. They cer tainly would make an acceptable Christmas present to a friend. Pens can be purchased of the Doctor all the way from 85 cento to $8. All seeking sometbi ng valuable and lasting should i nspect the stock on band. LATEST COURT PROCEEDINGS. Ahead of tbe Plaindealer and Star, we give at a late hour the proceed ings of the Circuit court- Again we say and can prove that the Independ ent Is tbe only newspaper In Doug las county. Last week we gave to the publio first the circuit court docket This week we give tbe last proceed ing in tbe court up to to tbe time of its adjournment Friday evening. To do this has caused delay and extra labor; yet we are satisfied if the pub lio will appree'ate our efforts to make this a newspaper. The following are the latest court reports. O. C. Perkins vs. E. C. Headrick ; suit in equity for dissolution of copart nership. Receiver's report filed and sale of property confirmed. Wm. Patterson vs. James H. Tipton; action to recover money. Judgment for plaintiff for $325. Mary J. Atterberry vs. C. F. Atter- berry ; divorce. No divorce allowed. Marian Desouzer vs. Phil Desouzer ; divorce. Granted. Tenny ft McKenzle vs. Mulvany Bemls. Taken nnder advisement. State of Oregon vs. James McCor- mack ; larceny. Plead guilty and fined $25. Also found guilty of horse stealing and will be sentenced to-day. B. F. Doweil vs. Jesse Applegate. Demur to complaint overruled and leave given to strike out and file amended demurer. State of Oregon vs. J. W. Shaffer ; indictment for larceny of a horse. Plead guilty and sentenced 6 years. State of Oregon vs. Andrew Cob ; indictment for larceny of a horse Verdict, guilty. M. J. Courtney vs. Wm. Bybee et al .; suit from Jackson county. De murer to complaint overruled and de fendant given until February 1st to answer. E. J. Page vs. J. L. Smith, adminis trator. Decree in favor of plaintiff. C. A. Sriggs vs. J. H. Tipton; to re- oover.money. Dismissed at platntitrs cost. Personal Spite. By a vote of three to two tbe city board of trustees Thursday evening voted to commence suit in the circuit court to open tbe street leading through Mr. Sol. Abraham's premises. By the opening of the street no public good will be attained that we can see, and if the city Is to pay for a useless law suit, we or any other tax-payer must have just cause for grumbling against a useless expenditure of money. Per sonal spite should never be gratified at public expense. Prepare for Winter. When the winter rains set in, colds are frequent and severe, often settling in the back and kidneys, causing much, suffering and preventing tbe prosecu tion of work either indoors or out. The Oregon Kidney tea is just suited to all such cases. It works like axharm, reaching the very seat of tbe diffic ulty and speedily relieving and curing the sufferer. , ,. I., i. ... . - j Programme. Following is tbe programme of the Philallathean society for this Satur day evening : Music ; Oration, E. G. Harsh ; music ; discussion 'Resolv ed, That the interests of the Pacific coast demands a separate government affirmative, J. C. Fullerton; nega tive, a Ball ; music ; recitation, Miss Alice Mosher : music. Coal Oil Stolen. Monday night some thief entered the city calaboose and took therefrom a case of coal oil. Tbe thief had a key to the door leading to the oil-room There is no clue to lead to the detec tion of the one committing the theft. DEATH OF MRS. W. T. WRIGHT. Marietta Wright, win of our Coun ty Treasurer, and daughter of Mr. Pe ter Williams, departed this life Thurs day evening. The deceased was aged twenty-three years and eight months. Mrs. Wright leaves her husband. four children and a host of warm and earnest friends who mourn her de parture for "the bosom of her Father and her God," for tbe reason they have not been privileged in life to suffer at the same time the Inevitable death, and at the same time go to heaven guided by an angel so pure that tbe rustliugsof her own angelio wings would in themselves lead the path to Paradise. Her stay here, it is true, has been short. Once in awhile a germ celestial is borne to earth by the de scent from heaven of one of His chosen spirits. Tbe germ finds resting place, and from a bud blossoms into a heav enly flower. Heaven must claim its own, and the flower thus grown, first withers, then decays; and finally an angel is sent from heaven to bear to its natural home the flower's exqui lte escence. It is customary to pity the father and the orphans. Ia this case there is no reason for customary platitudes or familiar repetitions. The children have yet an earnest friend in the father left behind to look after and satisfy their temporal wants, and a mother in heaven to plead with the guardian of tbe golden gate when it comes their time to pass into the darkness of the hereafter. Her band will be the bridge leading over tbe dark gulf separating heaven from earth, and if love is eter nal her glad cry of pleasure will be the first pleasurable sound of a happy welcome that - wir) re-echo to their hearing the moment they enter the gates of the home forever. What more do they want ? Why then do people weep when the loved and de parted are to be missing but a short time? They bad-better rejoice, as should all in this instance, that a new flower has found a place in tbe heaven ly Eden, and that ita drooping petals are a silent pleading for the coming of the parts It has lett behind CALAPOOL4, For a few days the rain has subsided. Calapooia will be handsomely rep resented at the dance to be given at Umpqua Ferry. A quarterly meeting will convene at the lower school house December 29th, and continue over Sunday. .. Elder Paul proclaimed the gospel at the Calapooia school house last Sun day in an eloquent and influential manner. . - - . Sheep killing dogs have become quite numerous in this locality. Mr. Kruse had the misfortune to have seven killed last i-nturday night. Elmer, little son of our highly es teemed neighbor, Mr. T. Barnard, was badly Injured one day last week by being kicked by a vicious horse. The political pot has began to boil in this section, and we think we are safe in making the assertion that ct-r-tain politicians who have made them selves very ' conspicuous on different occasions will get their fingers burnt if they attempt to finger Independents. Calapooia has a young man that has already expressed publicly that he Intends to hang on the Christmas tree $16 00 worth of stuff for his ducky. We thine tbe publio deserves his name in full and also his native State; but for fear of creating disturbance we will not be personal. The flood on Calapooia was very dis astrous to the farmers in generaL Sown grain in low bottoms Is utterly destroyed, and fences swept away In many cases. Tbe damage is hard to estimate. Tbe water lacked about three feet of reaching the high water nuarkoflMl. Last Sunday, after church, the con gregation was called to order by Mr. A. G. Migee, stating that there remained unfinished business that was necessa ry to transact concerning arrange ments for a Christmas tree. The firt thing in order of business of any im portance was to take up a collection to raise sufficient funds to purchase a stove pipe, after which the meeting adjourned, and the congregation wend ed their way to their respective homes with the glorious: idea that there were fools yet in Calapooia pre cinct who would violate tbe Sabbath laws to satisfy their personal feeling. Attempted Burglary, One night during the week some one attempted to burglarize tbe res dence of Dr. Hoover. Tbe noise made by tbe would-be burglar awakened tbe Doctor, who at once struck a light; tbe would-be burglar took at once to his heels, and so rapidly did he travel, be forgot his hat, which was left under the window he attempted to force open. Arrests Hade. During the week, O. A. Brown, U. S Agent, arrested L. D. Love for cut ting timber on governmental lands, and took him to Portland. J. L. Kennedy was subpoenaed as a witness in the cae. Brown also served pa pers upon John Rowley, Wm. Trask and a Mr. Blakesly, who will go to Portland In time to appear January 4th. Sole Proprietor. Last Friday, W. L Button pur chased the Metropolitan hotel, paying $950 for the same. . Shortly after the purchase a horse walked through the house, entering from the front door. The boys suggest that Mr. Button change his sign so it will read: "Mam moth Uvery and feed stable." Heavy Damage. From Information received from dif ferent parts of tbe county, Judge Gaddis informs us that he estimates bridges destroyed by the late, flood to the amount of over $5,000. ';.''.-. Snow. Snow commenced falling in this city Friday morning the first of the season. It melted as fast as it fell. Snow in Yreka la two feet deep. . Gone to Oakland. Having, prepared a home for its members, Uncle Aaron's family left for Oakland Thursday morning to join that gentleman. Line Worklnf. The telegraph line to Coos Bay is now in fine working order all tbe poles washed away by the flood having been restored. Our energetic agent, Mr. George Sbambrock, Jr., has our thanks for many favors. No newspaper ever had a better agent. TALKED TOO LOUDLY. O. A. (one-arm) Brown, an attache of the Portland custom-house, has been engaged during the week, osten sibly, to arrest those who have been cutting timber on government lands. He has arrested and taken to Port land on this charge Mr. L. D. Love; but the misformed specimen of man hood has stated that he had another mission and in that he had succeeded. This other purpose was nothing less than putting an end to the Independ ent party. This is not suspicion; it U nothing less than tbe boastings of members of tbe ring who think they have secured a great advantage in the aid supposed to have been rendered by the Portland custom-house ring, and since Brown's departure for Portland they have crowed loudly . over tbeir acqusition. 'If all they say Brown has done to kill the Independ ent party is true, and If all they say is correct as to Brown's boastful declaration, to the effect that man claims he has put the Independent; par ty into bis pocket, and that there wi 11 be a division of spoils between demo crats and republicans before the Inde pendents shall secure a single benefit, he has talked too loudly to begin with, a d has boasted of a strength he nor the Roseburg ring of polit ical tricks ters are not possessed. And if it is all true as above stated, Collector John Kelly and Judge Tolman, of Port land, have sent a poor tool Into this county to- do dirty work for them. Brown has boasted n ot worked. He has bragged, and has not secured the good will or had the attention of the but the ring that perpetrated the black mud swindle. Juue next tbe honest people of Douglas couuty will not only repudiate the assurances made by tbe Roseburg ring, but show Collector Kelly and his tools that the independents are superior to all their blandi shments, all thtir seduo- tive persuasions and all their captlvat ing arts, and independent of them to that extent that permits free, honest men to cast their votes against. . CORRESPONDENCE. Canyonvtxle, Deo. 18, 1879. Editor Independent: I have been puzzled ever since the. Supreme court decided the Canyon road case to know why the road was taken away from the corporation that constructed It and given to another corporation that bad been formed after this road had been constructed. But I see by the report of Junius Brutus, in your last issue that the law has been changed, and by virtue of this change, tnis raa was tasen from one com pany and given to the other, to en courage " competition." Now, while I cannot fully understand how it would encourage competition to take the road from one company and give it to another, I can easily understand how in this case it would encourage. Funk and Guzzler.the amicus euraet to give them the road that had been built by another company. And any person, to see the horrible condition the Canyon road is in at this time can readily understand that this com petition needs more "encouragement'' to keep the road fit for travel. By the way, would It not be a good plan to take Sol. Abraham's brick build ing in Roseburg and give it te Guz zler Funk to encourage this com petition ? Patrick Gobble, and Peter P. Simple could easily construe the law under tbe "new doctrine" of com petition so as to transfer tbe title of the building from Abraham, to Funk A Guzzler; for they understand clearly the difference in tbe "eyes of tbe law" between, "Mc Cartney come out ov the the house, and Come out ov the house Mo Cartney" such aeon s traction too would be for the public good rather than private gain, it being undoubtedly a great benefit to the traveling public to have that road kept in good condition for travel. While it makes no difference what ever to tbe public, whether Abraham r Funk a Guzzler own this build in g, and there is no good reason why they (F. A G.) should not have It: for the statute does not provide that the person owning the land and erecting a but1 ing thereon, shall have exclusive ,,vl leges over any othe r perso" wishing to occupy such bulii g, r?o let the change be made Immediately and th e canyon road be repaired. Pick-handle Dick. UMPQUA FERRY. . Indications of good weather. Tbe farmers are getting along w ell with their crops, and the fields are be ginning to pre sent a greenish hue. There will be a shooting match here on Christmas, and all that are fond of that kind of amusement, are in vited to be present. Dr. G. B. Davidson is afflicted pretty badly with rheumatism, at present, but it is hoped that under the genial air of this locality he will soon re cover. James A. Deuval has ceased gran g eriziag for the time being, on ac count of having sore eyes, but we are of the opinion he will soon improve-as he has placed himself, in care of Dr. Venable of Oakland. The Independent is gaining sub scribers rapidly in this vicinity, and can boast of having the largest cir culation of any paper coming to this office. . . , Umpqua George. CORRESPONDENCE. The following letters 'are self ex planatory: , Indianapolis, Dec. 1, 1879. Gen. Joseph Lask Dear Sir : You are invited to attend a meeting of the association of the Veterans of tbe Mexican War, of tbe State of Indiana, to be held at the city of Indianapolis, in the supreme court room, corner of Washington and Tennessee, on Thurs day, January 8, 1880. Try and be present and bring any veterans you may know. please have your local paper pub lish this notice. By order, M. D. M anson, Pres't. Ed. L. Salmer, Seoy. Rosebcro, Or. Dec. 16, 1879. Gentlemen : I bave the pleasure to acknowledge tbe receipt of your card Inviting me to attend a meeting of the association of veterans of the Mexican war, of tbe State of Indiana, to be held at the city of Indianapolis, on Thursday, January 8th, 1830 ; and to bring any veterans I may know. I thank you for tbe kind invitation you have beeu pleased to extend me, and other old veterans of my aeqaiutance. There are but very few of us in this State, and with one or two exceptions, they are old, infirm and poor. I am unable to accept your invitation and I de-ply regret it ; for I well know that there will not upon any other occasion be as many of the old veterans togeth er as will meet on tbe forthcoming oc casion. And yet I am compelled to forego this ' last opportunity that I shall have of meeting my i old companions in arms to whom I am stroneiy attached. I saw and witnessed their good and soldier like bearing under all circumstances, and especially tbeir gallaut conduct o tbe battle field, and tbe gratification that it would atrord one to meet taetw again in life would be greater and above any other earthly pleasure that could he conferred upon me. But I cannot meet you or them. I have not the money to bring me to Indianapo lis and back to my home. I bave little hope of Congress allowing us a pen- s:ou : we seem to be ignored, aitnousn our services secured to our great coun try all of California, .Nevada, Utah and New Mexico au empire of itself, and to our country worth more than money ; and yet the remaining few or us can hardly expect a pensiou. Well, my friends, we will not very long need that little so justly due us from our government i we served her faithfully, honestly, intelligently and under au circumstances aid our duty. and if Congress will not recognize us we must do me best we can wunout lis aid My dear sirs, you will "accept ray kindest wishes and earnest piayers for tbe health, prosperity and content ment of yourselves, of the association, and all old veterans of the Mexican war. I am, with much respect, your out iricnu ana ooeuient servant. JOSEPH LANE. To Gen. D. Manson. President : El. L. Lalmer, Secretary, Veteran Asso ciation.
