There was made at Mrs. Ccmpton's dress
making establishment ia Roseburg during
the ninety days preceding tho 4th of July,
eighty fine dresses for womea arid young
ladies. This is truly encouraging to mar
riageable voung men to know that the young
ladies of the period lack the accomplishment
of being able to make their own clothing, but
have to resort to this popular establishment
in order to get a perfect fit.
Even the great and noted have their part
of the foibles of mankind; here is the Queen
of Spain returning to her pa because her
royal hubby is too sweet on another woman,
while Nellie Grant's fcartoris Las kicked up
the biggest kind ef a fuss at Milwankeo be
cause of bis peculiar intimacy with a beauti.
ful blonde English grass widow. If this
thing keeps up, even his Royal Innocence,
the Prince of Wales, may be the next victim
of the scandal monger.
The Dudo ha3 appeared in Roseburg.
It is a specimen of the gehiua homo,
peculiar unto itself; it is small of stat.
ure, walks upright on a wide track
with a colossal swell; it 3ucks the end
of a cane, talks loud and swears inces
santly, and wears eye glasses which
gives it an owlish expression f coun
tenance. Have you seen it?
, The last joke of the season is con
tained in a 'Washington dispatch which
8tat?s that the Jong absence of General
Crook is accounted for bv the fact that
he was captured by the Apaches, and
that he persuaded them to return with
him. One thing is very certain, he
biouht back with him what was left
of the renegade Indians after he and
the Mexican troops got through -with

At the last regular meeting of Res-r
cue Hook and Ladder Company No. 1

lred that a vote of thanks be extended
to the ladies of Roseburg for the gener

Fourth of July Ball; all of which will
be applied towards purchasing a hook

Jacob Jones, son of John Jones, re
ling near Roseburg, in this ceunty
had the painful misfortune to have his
hand caught in a circular saw run by
horse power while sawing wood, and
two of his fingers taken off and received
a severe cut between the thumb and
four finders. Drs. "Woodruff and Mars.
ters were called and dressed the wound
ed hand. It is to be hoped that he may
not loese the use of his hand.
The Commissioner of the General Land
Office, under a decision of the Secretary of
the Interior has issued an order to the local
land office at Roseburg withdrawing from
market the odd sections within the 30-mile
limit on either side of the O. & C. R. R., as

be charged by the government for the even
sectiens within the twenty mile limit. Per
sons haviriEj filed preemptions prior to th
16th of July, can make proof and payment
at the single minimum price of $1.25 per

From the amount of smoke in the valley
the last two -weeks one would suppose the
entirs mountains were n fire. We learn
from the people of Cole's Valley that the first
range of mountains beyond that settlement
have been burning for the last three weeks.
While the recent rain cleared the atmosphere
to some extent the shower was insufficient to
put out these iorest fires. Much valuable
timber is consumed annually by these fires;
many of which are started carelessly or by
designing persons. They should be ferreted
out and punished to the full extent of the
law

W. T. Wright, ex-Connty Treasurer and
popular salesman at F. P. Hogan's new store,
was married last Saturday to Miss Fanny
A. Wright. The ceremony was performed
at the jarlors of the St. Charles Hotel in

groom and a daughter of Rev." Mr. Wright of
Illinois, from which State she recently came
to Oregon, and while visitiag friends iu this
county an attachment sprang up between her

that Van Horn, oho of tho mortgage of the

very essential part of tho transaction. He
evidently thought it a good idea to bid on

Tho tourists to the Coquille and coast
mountains are returning slowly, and various
are the stories they tell ef the slaughter of
tho trout. Frank was the first to get back
filled to overflowing, while somewhat modest
in his declarations, the stories that he told
of the cool retreats and swarms of the finny
tribe would cause one to wish an adieu to
the dust and smoke of the valley and be off
for the mountains, only if he could. The
next to return was the Messrs. Sheridan's,
refreshed by the sea breeze and ready for
active business again, and the account they
give of the catch of the speckled beauties
by Mrs. Tolls, Chase and Sanctuary would
lead one to expect a bigger fish story, when
Sanctuary returns, than any recorded laths
Apochrypha.
Sheriff J. S. Purdom has gone to Portland
to ba present on Friday at the execution of
Anderson for the murder of bis brother. The
evidence on which Anderson was convicted
is circumstantial, there being no witnesses
to the homicide. He, up to the present time
firm'y maintains his innocence, while the ev
idence against him is strong it is possible that
he is innocent of murder. Should it hereaf
ter transpLe that another, and not Anderson'
did the killing, thero would be added an
other to the already long list of judicial
murders, and fresh proof of the unreliability
of circumstantial evidence. If he is guilty
it is to be hoped that he will make a clean
breast of the matter before the final moment.'
A Kapid Decline Arrested.
Mrs. Anna Fourqurean, of San Marco.
Texas, wife of a well-known and influential
citizen of that place, writing under date of
May 23, 1881, says: -"In the spring of 1S7&
a deep cold settled on my lungs; I had a
dreadful cough, accompanied by daily fevers,
sleepless nights, indigestion, less of flesh and
strength, mental depression, and hem or.
rhages from the lungs. This state continued
for eighteen months, notwithstanding I had
the treatment of good physicians. By this
time I had lost all vitality, spent most of the
time in bed, coughed continually, raising a
large quantity of deep yellow mucus, and
after a little sleep in the latter part of the
night, I would awaken drenched by night
sweats, and so prostrated that I could not
raise myself in bed nntil I had Uken a little
brandy. I began to lose hopes of life. My
husband and my neighbors thought I could
not possibly live. About this time ynnr
Compound Oxygen Treatment' was brought
to our notice. My husband immediately sent
for it; I stopped'the use of all modi dues and
began the 'Treatment.' I was too we&k at
first to tale it for as long a time ts two min
utes; but gradually the inhalations increased
in leugtb and strength, and would leave such
a delightful sense of relief to my lungs that
loved to innate My fevers grew lighter
each day until I had none. Two weeks from
the beginning of the treatment I beua to
feel like a new person; could take walks;
found myself singing while at my work; in
deed I scarcely recognized my own self; my
flesh increased, and I felt and looked youn
ger. I used the 'Treatment' four months
faithfully; after that irregularly for severa1
months, and at the end of twelve months
from the time I began it, J had no cough, no
sign of lung disease; in other words I was
well. It is more than a year since I left off
taking the Oxygen, and I have had no re
turn of tho disease." Our Treatise on Com

Escaped Convicts. On the 11th of
July three of the escaped conviela from
the Oregon penitentiary, Beauchamp,
Rineheart and Mansfield, were captured
by a party consisting of D. N. Gibson,
M. V. Kavs, Win. Price and Peter
Heter, of Stay ton, and J. K. Baff, of
Silveiton. Having discovered their
trail at Aumsville, the volunteer party
followed it to Woodburn and going
about a mile beyond towards Silverton,
awaited their coining. When thev
came, about 9 o'clock at night, they
were challenged and upon refusing to
stop fire was opened upon them, which
resulted in the killing of Beauchamp
and wounding tho other two, Rhine-
hart probably fatally. This leaves but
four at large who have since been dis
covered clad in citizens clothing and
well armed, but there is no doubt that
they will soon be accounted for as the
whole country is in arms.

A county road is much needed from

The sick horses belonging to' the O.
& C. R. R. Co., under the care and
treatment of N. J. Sullivan vf Canyon
ville, are improving very rapidly. The
doctor is conceded to be, by those who
have a right to know, the best veteri
