II. 0. Lang, who is engaged by A. G.
Walling in collecting information for his il
lustrated history of southern Oregon, has
left his headquarters in" Itoseburg and gone
into C003 and Curry, to make a personal in
spection of these counties and gather infor
mation from the early settlers of the notable
events of their pio&eer days. We hope he
may find his trip both xrofitablo and pleas
ant. Having selected our stock of wheat for

King Alfonso of Spain, was hissed in the
streets of Paris, a few days since, for assum-
ing kiugly airs. France is truly a Repub
lic. The holy alliance of the crowned heads
are making this a pretext for waging war
against her republican institutions. Ameri
can citizens bhould be careful not to langh
if one of these crowned heads should happen
to pass this way. It might furnish a pretext
for those who believe in the divine riht of
kings to rule, to assert that republics are a
failure and man is incapable of self govern
ment. Both Spam and Germany have de
manded an apolagy from France for the
insult offered the king. If France is truly
a republic just how the apology is to be
made is a mystery. If the people are the
sovereigns and the officials their servants, it
will be laughable to see hi3 royal highness
meeting on equal terms a servant to receive
the apology. The apology would surely be
worse than the insult, but the crowned heads
must come to this at last. "
On last Saturday Mr. Charles A. Moore
and wife of New York City, accompanied by
Mrs. Prentiss of Norwalk, Ohio, arrived in
Roseburg on a vh.it to Mr. James Sheffield,
and will remain about a month. Mr3.
Prentis3 ia a sister and Mrs. Moore a niece
of Mr. Sheffield. Mr. Moore is the Presi
dent of the Consolidated Safety Valve Com
pany of New York City, and is a very intel
ligent gentleman. The party came by the
Northern Pacific route aud narrowly es
caped an accident. At the Mallan tunnel,
which is not yet completed, the road crosses
the mountain at a very steep &rade. While
ascending the eastern slope the train upon
which they were traveling became uncoupled,
leaying their car upon a trrestle 200 feet
high. Fortunately the accident wa3 discov
ered before the loose cars began to descend
the grade, and the brakes being applied held
them until the locomotive came to their as
sistance. But for this incident the trip was
a pleasant one.
Lo-k out for No, 1, ' and to do so give S'
F. Floed a call.
Communicated.
Mr. Editor: It appears from your Wil
bur correspondence of last week that the
writer was at a loss what to write about ex
cept that harvest was over and that a law
suit was pending between two well known
litigants, and that our well known institu
tion of learning, the Umpqua academ-, was
without a teacher. The writer gives, or
tries to give some of the reasons for tho loss
of our school. Now, the whole matter tould
be summed up in a few words. The tolera
tion of bad conduct, such as your young cor
respondent calls attention to, between the
old veteran litigants, has finally destroyed
all the good that had been done iu years
gone by, by auch noble men as Rev J. II.
Wilbur, who labored long and well to lay a
stood and lasting foundation for the M. E.
church, and perpetuated by the Royals,
Kuykendalls, and others.' The most of the
t li friends have educated and gone away,
leaving the institution und"r the protection
of its friends. I fear of late we have lost
the mark of our high calling and have ut
tered the false prayer good Lord and good
devil not knowing whose hands they may
fall into. The toleration of wrong will ulti
mately destroy all good intentions. The
wise man has said : "Show me thy faith
without thy works and I will show thee my
faith by my works." LI.
Correction. In setting up the tax
levy two weeks ago there was a typo
graphical mistake , in the item for tho
insane tax, which is fixed by law at one
mill. In our issue it was made to read,
-
"for insane tax, four mills," which was
mistake, and we are happy to make
the correction and inform the tax
payers that they will not have the ex
tra 6 mills to pay. The entire levy is
but twenty mills.
Suicide in Jail!
At the recent trial of George W."
Smith for the murder of Mrs. Mary
Petch in Yamhill counly, the jury after
being out about 25 hours, returned a
verdict of murder in the first degree.
When the news was con.municated to
Smith he asked to be allowed to have
an interview with his .wife and children,
in the sheriff's office at Lafayette,
v here he bade them, farewell in an af
fecting manner.
VYilliaai Rogere, an alleged burglar,
occupied the same cell with Smith, and
said that Saturday night at 3:30 oVock,
Smith said to him: "I think it mean
that the sheriff won't allow me to have
a light, and take my last farewell of
my children. Tuesday, at 1 o'clock,
I'm to receive sentence, for they have
brought in a verdict of guilty, as
charged. Here is half a dollar; keep
that in memory of me, and when you
are tempted to take a tTHnk look .t the
piece of money, and it will keep you
from drink. I want yon to deliver
soma messages for me one to my wife,
one to W. D, Fenton, one to the sheriff
and another to the public."
The message to the sheriff was to the
effect that he wanted no autopsy held
on his remains, as his death would be
caused by morphia; that he wanted his
body turned over to his wife, and de
sired that no priest or preacher might
be allowed to say a word of any kind
over his grave. Also that his gun, pis
tol, ammunition and $31.25 be given
to W. D. Fenton, his counsel.
His message to the public was as fol
low: "I want the public -to under
stand that I do not take my life through
fear of death, because I am not afraid
to die. I am not guilty of the crime
with-which I am charged, but circum
stances have prevented me from exon
erating myself. I do not take my own
life because I murdered Mrs. Petch,
for I am innocent. I want to die in
this manner because I don't want my
children to go through the world ham
pered with the disgrace of their father
having been hanged." "
His message to his wife wa?: " Take
charge of my body and bury it beside
one little body who died within the
year. I wish all the love you ever en
tertained for me to be given to the
children, and do not care if you marry
again; and if you like you can sell the
property and go elsewhere."
The message to W. T. Fenton was
in relation to his gun and pistols, and
the publication of a poem.
Rogers says that Smith talked in his
cell from 8:30 p. M. to 10 o'clock, when
both fell asleep. He says he was?
avakened about 11:30 o'clock by hear"
ing loud breathing, and a gurgling
sound coming from Smith's side of the
cell. He became alarmed and shouted
for the jailer, who aroused the sheriff.
The latter sent for Dr. Littlcfield, who
labored with Smith, but without avail.
IIo never spoke after his last words
with Rogers, and died at 8:30 a. m.
Sunday. :
Smith was in good spirits until
Wednesday night, when he became
much depiessed. Rogers claims to
have had fifty conversations with Smith
in relation to the killing, but defendant
stoutly protested his innocence always,
and said the shooting was done by Joe
Petch, and the public would find it out
tsome day.
A. N. Hurley, justice of the peace
and acting coroner, held an inquest.
The jury returned a verdict that Geo.
W. Smith came to his death by poison
ing, produced by an overdose of mor
phine, administered by himself, with
suicidal intent, and that the poison was
concealed m the collar of a coat worn
by him at the time.
Woman's Rights. Mrs. H. A.
Lousjhary, President of the Women's
Rights Association, spoke according to
announcement, at the Court house, last
Saturday night, to a sparse but highly
appreciative audience. The skating
rink had a tendency to keep some
young persons away who would other
wise have attended. The speaker has
a good, strong voice, a pleasing address,
and is well versed in that species of lit
erature which is turning the heads of
the giddy young women of the period
aud burdening our courts with numer
ous di voice suits. The speaker con
gratulated the people f Oregon that
they were in the van of the woman
suffrage movement, and she might,
equally as truthfully, have added that
they were taking the lead in breaking
up domestic relations. The doctrine
contended for by the one leads to the
other and we hav but to open our eyes
to see them marching hand in hand
throughout Oregon.
Persokal. M. Hellinger, wh has
been a resident of this country for ten
ye ars, left yesterday for his native
country. He came here ten years ago,
when quite a young man from the prov
ince of Alsace, France. By industry
and economy he has accumulated
good round sum of money to take back
with' him, and now returns to the pa
rental home to care for and support
his aged parents iu their declining
years.
"Was it Murder?
In all ages of the'world's history, su
perstitions have pervaded society.
Witches and witchcraft have a hold
upon every generation, from the Witch
of Endor to the old crones that ! our
puritanical ancestors of New England
burned at the stake, on the frozen
shores of the Atlantic. Even at the
present wo find in tha enlightened
State of Pennsylvania those who be
lieve in witches; witch doctors who
practice upon the credulity of these peo
ple and derive a fair competency from
this species of quackery. : Reading of
these practices and the methods and
cures resorted to by these miscreants,
caih to my mind the silver bullet and
au old tradition which heard many
years ago, away back in one of the
older States. A rich and Well-to-do
farmer had many of his horses and cat
tle to die suddenly, without any appar
ent disease. The horse taken from the
plow and fed in the evening would be
found dead in the morning. Cows well
in the evening would be found dead in
the morning, chickens would drop from
roost and pig3 die, in the sty, without
any outward appearance of violence.
Close inspection revealed the fact that
the animal had been shot with the pro
verbial hair bullet of tho witches. A
wad of closely matted hair from the
mane and tail of a gray horse about
the size of an ordinary bullet, would be
found in some vital part of the animal.
Finally an only child, a bright and
beautiful boy, the hope and pride of the
farmer was taken with a malady. Tha
best medical aid was called but of no
avail; the child dwindled away until he
became a mere breathing skeleton.
There lived a few miles away, in an
old log hut, in a deep ravine surrounded
by tall chesnut trees, an old, withered
and decrepid woman whom every one
believed to be a witch. She had lived
in the revolutionary days; had inhabited
the same log cabin in the hollow when
the country was a howling' wilderness,
when the shout of the savage Indian
rang from the hilltop and the wolf
lurked in secret places. ,
The farmer went to the old witch and
begged her to release his child from
the fatal spell: the old wonfan met his
entreaties with a hoarse and hollow'
langh that sounded like an echo from
the tomb. The farmer returned home
cast down in spirits, to find his darling
worse, lulled witn a spine oi wratu
and sorrow he called a consultation of
his friends, and it was decided to resort
to tho heroic treatment of the silver
bullet. The farmer took a silver coin
and pounded it into a slug to fit his ri
fle, loaded the gun and drew an image
of the old crona on the inside, of his
barn doors. .The day and hour was
fixed to fire the fatal shot. Some of
the neighbors had gathered at the old
woman's hut to watch the result. The
tanner took his gun and proceeded to
the barn, just at the time set took aim
at th image and fired killing his
favorite hcrse that was just passing the
barn door. j

hope that our people will interest them
selves sufficiently to visit the room this

On last Monday the election for city

was light129, all told. The princi
pal strife was for the'offiee'cf Marshal.
The several candidates received the fol
lowing vote: Thomas Grisdale, 53; T.
A. Ireland, 36; J. B. Whiteman, 32.
For Recorder there were only two.
candidates, who received the following
vote: A. F. Campbell, 80; II. C.

For Treasurer John Chase received
121 votes. -; . .. ' " ' , ; ,
For City Trustees there were two
complete tickets, called respectively
'high license" and M low license," but
no decided victory can be" claimed for
either, as Mr. Caul field, who was on
both of the tickets was elected, and
two apiece from each of the tickets.
The vote for the successful candidates
was as follows: J. J. Caul field, 96;
R. S. Sheridan, 69; Simon Caro, 65;
W. F. Benjamin, 62; W. I. Fried
lander, 61; T. Ford, 61. Their being
a tie between Mr. Ford and Mr. Fried
lander for the fifth place, it was de
cided bv lot at the meeting of the
board Tuesday evening, in which Mr
Friedlander, who was on ' the high
license ticket, drew the successful num
ber, leaving the board a tie, with Mr.
Caulfield, who was on both tickets, to
cast the - majority vote, if the question
should ever come before th board;
which probably, it never will.
