LIEUT. bUELTOVH FUNERAL.
the WalU Walla" Statesman fives
the following account of the burial
of Lieut. E. H Khelton at Walla
Walla by the military: "The fine
band of the regiment, under direct
ledership of Mr. Erastus Walker
played that grandest of solemn airs,
The Dead March In Saul." Arriv
ing at the cemetery the procession led
to the open grave, which the troops
and immediate relatives surrounded,
and the-coffin was soon lowered to its
last resting place with all tbe honors
Rev, Robt. Boyd again offered up a
prayer, after which three volleys of
musketry were fired over his grave.
Then that solumn dirgo of Mendell
sohn, "The Last Resting place," was
played by a quartette, led by Mr.
Walker, in a manner we never heard
equalled, and the last of the brave and
honorable soldier was covered from
view and the cortege slowly dispersed.
The funeral was very largely attend
ed by our citizens aud : their
families who paid this last sad
tribute of respect to one whom
in life they all loved. Tbe de
ceased was on his way here when
death overtook him, and his many
friends were ready to give bim a gen
ial welcome. As a man he was all
that could le desired, open handed
and generous to a fault, loved ty his
brother officers aud respected by his
men, whom he could lead anywhere.
His loss will be felt as much by the
country at large, as by his own regi
ment to which be was a credit. We
understand that a monument will be
erected over his remains by his broth
er officers."
News From the North.
From Mr. Wm. Patterson we learn
quite a number of interesting items
from the northern end of the county.
Superintendent LJulefleld is now at
Coos Bay at work on the breakwater.
The mill of Henry Beckley is Com
pleted and is in fine running or
der : the flour manufactured at this
mill is generally pronounced to be
first-class in every sense of the term.
The Hinsdale mill is the ouly one run
niug at Gardiner. At that place the
echoouers Bobolink and Leeds and
another vessel are bar-bound on ac
count of the rough weather, which
prevents the tug coming to their as
sistance, i ifteeu Vessels are bar-bound
at l oot Bay on account of refusal of
the tug boats to take the chances
of towing tlu-ni to sea. Mr. Jay
Shepard, Esq., has taken up a school
iu scottsburg, and is quite popular
with all who know him; aud work
men are engaged in completing the
bridge across Mike creek whicu takes
the place of tbe one destroyed by the
last great flood. Mr. Patterson has re
turned home.
Mrs. ' Kimball Dead.
Mrs. May KimlKtll, eldest daughter
of Mr. E, M. Moore, and wife of Mr.
Gaorge W. Kimball, departed this
life in this city on Thursday, of con
sumption; aged, 23 years, nine months
and nine days. The remains of tbe
deceased will i be buried in Masonic
cemetry to-morrow (Sunday), and
Rev. rwlok will preach the funeral
aormon. Mrs! Kimball was born In
Roseburg, aud from early childhood to
the day of her death she was loved by
all for her sweet disposition, her pure
life and gentle manners. Everybody
was her friend, and all Roseburg to
day deplores her death. But from
her birth she was but s fragile flower,
and it seems that from the beginnlug
: it was Intended she should die early in
life. She must now be happy; for no
one doubts that she is an angel In
feeaveu; and Iben tbe Father always
knows what is best. Her loss is, how
ever, a severe affliction upon j hei hus
band, her little motherless babe, her
father and other relatives, all of whom
have the deep-felt eym pathy of a sor
rowing community. . ,
Glass Ball Casters.
Mr.Jos. S. Aiken is in the city, look
ing as handsome as ever Mr. Aiken
is here for the purpose of selling coun
ty rights for the sale of Adgate's Gliss
Ball Casters, a new ana valuable in
vention. To describe tbe many uses
to which the casters may be put
and to speak of their many good quail
ties, would require more space
than we have at our disposal. The
musicians aud piano dealers of Port
land recommend them very highly iu
in another column, anil those who
have seen them here in towu declare
they should be attached to all kind of
furniture. There is no doubt that the
casters will have a rapid and geueral
sale, and in a very little; while will be
considered as a necessity about the
house. Mr LAikenbaWa great num
ber of different sizes with him, aud
will give ail necessary information to
those who apply to bim. He will re
main but a short time in the city.
School Matterti
The school law provides that "Dis
tricts shall not be entitled to their
proportion of the scliodl fund at the
disposal of the county ccbool superin
tendent unless they shall report to
him by the first Monday of March of
each year." Also that "when a dis
trict has forfeited its school money,
no recourse whatever shall be had to
obtain tbe same." J. W. Htrange, dep
uty superintendent, informs us that
but few districts have fo warded their
reports to bim and wishes us to call
the attention of clerks to this matter.
Clerks should immediately take the
census of tbeir district aud report to
the superintendent as soon as they
can. Many incoirect reports are re
ceived and have to be returned for
correction, and in this way tbe proper
reports will be received too late to al low
district to particijmte lr the school
fund. Therefore, it is necessary for
clerks to hurry up their reports.
Grading the Streets.
Surveyor Hurlburt is at work
surveying the grade of Jackson
street. There has been no 'report as
yet made by the surveyor, but Wj learn
that the work of grading will be car
ried on to fill up below to the bridge,
and when completed will leave several
houses above John Lehnher'a furni
ture store four or five feet above the
level of the present sidewalks, and in
several instances will be a heavy tax
upon property-holders. We bear al
ready many complaints, and may
argue that tbe money to be expended
on the survey might have been more
profitably employed lu the construc
tion of water works to put out fire.
A 11 tug Squirrel,
A flying squirrel was killed across
the river one day during tbe week
and it wa a Hue specimen of its spe
cies. It was sent to Professor O. B.
'FOOLS NUT ALL DEAD YET."
This was the expression made dur
ing a little game of "atralght-poker"
at Winchester ft few years ago that
is before Roseburg consisted of more
than two houses. Those were
"The daya ofold, tha daya of gold,
And tbe days of forty-aine."
And though it was not exactly '49, it
was ft similar year to that described in
the popular song from , which we
quote. Fifty-dollar slugs those eight
square pieces which now dazzle tbe
eyes of others besides the impecunious
lawyers, printers, etc were as easily
obtained then as ten-cent pieces are
now, and when It came to "straight
poker." men played on the' "square"
at ten dollar "antie" and twenty dol
lars "blind" or got the top of their
beads "taken off" if they forgot the re
spect due " geutlemeu," and was
caught cheating. Then we had but
few . men who thought they were
otherwise thftQ poor when they
had ft couple of thousands in
in their pockets, and no " broke"
men. Then ft barrel of port wine and
ditto of whiskey were rolled Into the
street (there was but one street) in
Winchester on Saturday night, and
horse racing, Imbibing and straight
poker" were the pastime from Satur
day evening until Monday morning
The gravel bar that now stretches
outeatttof the old townslte furulshed
the race-course, and "straight-poker'
levees were held in the stores or when
ever else the opportunity offered.
Well, it seems that the hero of our
story was indebted to a man residing
near W inchester to the amount of
three thousand dollars; and having
taken the required unmount lu over tbe
counter of the public bouse be; was
keeping, he tied the money up in a
cotton handkerchief, aud started ft-r
Winchester on foot. Arrrlved there
he was looked after by the "boys,'
and tbe man to whom . he owed the
money was not there. He wanted to
returu home, but the "boys" purauad-
ed aim to remain and attend the
dance that nras to be given there that
night. The dance came off as per for
mer announcement, aud he attended
it. The 'boys" then persuaded him
to "Indulge" ouce or twice, or three
or four times twe cannot say now
many, nor can our heo) In old -'chain
lightening," and then came a propo
sition to play a quiet game of "straigli'-
poker." All right. A quiet place was
found and toe game was commenced.
At first the game went slack, but du
ally tbe "pt" reached the matter or
seven or eight hundred dollars. Jut
theu our friend seemed to have a "good
hand" and bet squarely ft cocl couple
of thousand dollars. This amount
overaized the gamblers' pile, and
they did not "call tbe bet;" but oue
can eatily imagine tbe feelings of the
"boys'1 who: had "woiked up the
game," wiieu our hero smoln a smile,
"raked down the money," showed be
had but two "deuces." and remarked:
'Well' the fools are not all dead iu
this county yet," and theu "jumiied
the game'' satisfied witb his nfght's
work. The "boys' were mad, as a
matter of course. They weut to the
stores, to the U- S. Land ofllce and
elsewhere and borrowed all the money
in town, hoping to get our hero into
another game, but to no purpose. He
wasn't a fool, aud had proved that
there were yet three living, aud witb
nearly $1,000 more in his p oet than be
expected to have when he got to towu
and settled up with bis creditor, he
simply remarked for the second time,
"and tbe fools are not ail dead yet."
e would give names, but all tbe par
ties engaged in tbe game are yet liv
ing aud claim that they have "reform
ed."
New Law Salt.
We are informed that since tbe
last decision of Judge Kelly was made
public, to the effect that priorty of lo
cation amounted to notbiug, and that
anybody has a rjKht to "jump" and
take away another's property by vir
tue of the right of "jumping, " the
Galesvllle And Canyouville road com-
nauv Propose at out to "jump" the
Squaw Luke Compaoy.s mining
ground, owned by Judges Kelly, Bell
inger, Hanna ftnd otners, and iu case
of opposition will appeal to Che su
preme court, thinking tuat it is a poor
rule that won't work ootli ways, aud
expect a decision in ttieir favor.
Cheering News for Oregon.
Our people have been cut off from
communication with the outer wor'd
so long that anything which tends
to hasteu the time when , tney
can come and go without that awful
ocean voyage, is hailed with the deep
est satisfaction ; but better than an
eastern railroad connection la the dia-
UXPtiUA FERRY.
Our old friend, E. M. Davidson, is
erecting large ftnd commodious
dwelling on Hubbard creek, which
undoubtedly suggests matrimonial intentions.
The present storm has caused ft great
deal of the stock to present a lank ap
pearance, and unless tbe weather mod
erates soon it will do considerable
havoa, especially among tbe sb v th.it
are on the outside.
: John Philips, a former resident of
these parts, is among us, aud is putting
up a boot aud shoe shop at this place.
He is a shoemaker of long experteuce
aud we hope be will do well iu that
Hue. :
H. Wagoner, who has been running
ft blacksmith shop here all winter, has
removed aud is now erecting a shop at
Clarkesbursr. : Will KauiD has taken
charge of this one here and will coin-
meuoe operations in a fe w nays.' Ho
is ft good workman, and acknowledges
few if any superiors.
The subject for controversy here for
the last two weeks has principally
been religious and we think its most
darkened parable aud mysteries, will
be brought to light if it still continues
to be handled by such able expounders
as Messrs. Peters aud McG-owan. We
ouly hope for the best, but fear differently.
Two of our senior hoodlums have
concluded that they will not be con
tented with -their portion of Oregon,
but as soon as they raise sufficient
funds they will make good their de
parture for tlbe mote congenial clime
of California1. - We, in the fulfillment
of a point of courtesy, mourn their de
parture, but conclude that a geueral
immigration of such trash would be
highly beneficial to this community.
The majority of the farmers iu this
section seeni to be greatly depressed
by the storm! which has been preva
lent for the last two months. It has
just stormed enough to prevent farm
ing and has kept cold enough to pre
vent the grain that has alaeadv been
wwn from growing, feliouid it turn
warm it will take a while for the grain
that is up to galu Its former stave of
raukness, but we hope, and do believe
that February, which is the favorite
month among all the farmer, will be
a good mouth. If such would be the
case there will be a larger acreage of
grain sworn in less time thau ever
this country has uehelil.

t EDrxoBlMOBPEKDKjrr: The canyon
road case is gettiu worse and worse,
Th encouragement given to that
competition has done no good, but
that fact -will beforgotten when we
come to consider "the many benefits
the public may receive, by reason of
the great and good principle or law
"invented" and aunom.ced for the
"first time" in that caw. I say "in

lawyers that there Is no decision like
it, to be found la the law books, i uen
ptr Kiiuols and Patrick. C. J.. are
certainly entitled to the credit of In

I Charh River Br die vs. War

and Indlau Cauyotiville road company
vs Robinson,- 1 CaL, R. p. 619) cited
by the Judje-s shvn that they
"knew" it to be ft "new' doctrine, but
they were simply too modtst to claim
the credit due them, for ttie decis
ions lu those cases are not at all like the
canyon road case.. And this new doc
trine if car tied on! will without doubt
give me t he traHWwH between Kme
bur and Portland for "public good
rather than privske gain," for I can
better afford to carry passengers aud
freight at half-price than the present
owners can at full price, a the road
ost me nothing aud has cost the pres-t-nt
owners large sums of money. Now
all that is necessary to crry out this
doctrine is to have men for judges of
the supreme court Who will row above
and disrejiaid ail Kttle scruples of con
science iu regr.lf "vested rights"
aud " right .of, Individuals" when
those rights ouaie in conflict with the
interests ot U&'ptXie tT of the Ana

The public land commUwloners, ftp-
pointed by the last congress, report
that there re 1,200,000,000 acres or
l.m.l vet 'iinsnM. This Is What
generally called 'governmet land,'
and is scatteied through all the wet
em territories with a small fraction
yet uusold in Florida and Texas. The
coniniitrsiouers state that 800,000,000
acres of public lands have been sur
veyed and sold during the last cen
tury. Moat people will be surprised at
these figures, as the general opinion
has beeu that the greater part or our
public lauds had already been sold.
It will lake another cen.ury, in an
probability, to dispose of these lands
the price of which is 1 2 per acre.
Hence there are "homesieaus" lor
generations yet to come.

It has been reported on the streets
for several days that Wm. King, tbe
i)n tractor, bas left for parts uuknown
and bis . creditors are a nxiously In
quiring as to bis whereabouts. King's
wife ana child are here, ftnd it seems
strange that be would go away and
leave them. We hope to see him re
turn ftnd prove the stories told of bim
to be false In every particular.
The New York papers do not speak

Edison's electric light, as the telegrams
to the Associated Press auuounee, in
fact tbey say it Is rather a partial fail

that by next winter he will make it a
perfect success iu all particulars. - '
The extensive hall aud offices for the
United Presbyterian church, into
which the Edinburgh theatre Is being
converted, are now nearly ready for
occupation. The work of reconstruc
tion has cost $100,000, and this added
to tbe $135,000 paid for tbe purchase of
the theatre, brin up the cost of tbe
new hall and offices to $235,000.
Under tbe old An lean slave system
in the south, a ''likely negro glrP.
was valued at $800 to $1,000, but Chi
nese girls appear to be Imiigh tftnd sold
in San Francisco foi sums as low as
$57. Our country is supposed .to be
a free republic in which " involuntary
ervitude except for crime," is inter
dicted. How sarcastic the ftsumption
Tbey have discovered that tbe high
lands or south Africa afford aura
cure for consumption. It is much
safer to stay at home and die ft natural
death, however, as man is certain to
be killed in getting there. The Zulus
have no feeling for Invalids.
Not the least Important feature tn
Fellows' Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites, is the comfort, buoyancy
aud vigor which is inspired by its use,
and whieh Is developed as the patient
