By letter from Cor vail is of February 25,
we are pained to learn that the wife of Rev.

From late advices it appears she is no better

The leap-year ball which was gotten up
for the benefit of the fire department, netted
about $14, which the ladies turned over to
the Rescue Hook and Ladder company. The

Isaac Velzain and Robert Strotlier left

Villard's affairs, after a public rest of some
weeks, are again dismissed iu various quar
ters. The Philadelphia Press reports that
he will go into bankruptcy. If half that has
been reported concerning his losses is true,
there seems little else for him to do at pres
ent. The report that his financial wreck was
so complete as to leave him no alternative
but to retire to Europe for rest, has not been
substantiated by events.
About dark Monday night a fire was dis
covered iu the basement of the State uni
versity at Eugene, by! a carpenter who was
at work a short distance from the building.
He called to bis assistance some boys and
they succeeded in putting out the fire before
much damage .was done, ihc tire was
started in a pile of wood, about the middle
of th basement of the building. From the
evidence of kerosene oil having been used,
it showed unmistakably that the lire was
started by an incendiary.
The latest Sau Francisco decision on the

Sunday night in a Market-street saloon, play,
ing "stud-hor?e" poker, were dismissed in
J udge Webb's court, yesterday. They were
discharged on motion of the prosecuting at-
torney, who stated that he was satisfied that
"stud horse" poker was not a banking game,
and was as legitimate as "straight" poker,
which is considered by all legal luminaiies
to be only a game of skill, and not ot chance
The beautiful spring-time has come at last;
at least we are led to so believe from the
bright sunshine which has chased away the
bleak shades of winter and given new verd
ure to the fields and a floral decoration to
oui hillsides. The severe cold spell of two
weeks ago has done its work. Many of the
red-breast messengers and merry songsters
of the meadow lie dead upon the sward,
whilst the pastures are strewn with tb
monldering carcasses of the ewe and lamb
kin. In mrny herds fully one-fourth of the
old sheep and a large percentage of the
lambs died during the cold weather.

A. S. Jacobs, sheriff I of Jackson county,
was in Roseburg last Monday. He came
down armed with a warrant of arrest for a
woman of the town charged with daaling faro
at Grants Pass, Jackson county. After Mr.
Jacobs bad made the arrest he offered his
fair prisoner her freedom if she would fur.
nisli a one hundred dollar bail bond, but she
modestly declined the offer, as she would
have to attend court any way, and preferred
to travel in Mr. Jacob's company, as he was
a good looking gentleman and under the cir
cumstances was compelled to famish the
fare. They left on the eveuir g train, seem
ingly as happy and contented' as two old
foyers.

The Murray Trial.
The trial of J, W. Murray for kill
ing his brother-in-law, in Multnomah
county, lasted eleven days, culminating
in the jury returning a verdict of min
der in the first degree. The circum
stances of ' the; killing were that Mur
ray and his wife had been separated for
some time and he had been drinking.
About the holidays Mrs. Murray was
at a party. Murray went there and
wanted her to accompany him home,
which she refused to do. Towards
morning she, in company with her
brother, were going home, when they
were fired viKn and the young man
instantly killed. The shot was fired
from behind a board fence. The de
fense of insanity was attempted to be
set up by the prisoner. The evidence
disclosed that the only mental derange
ment was caused by drink, which is no
excuse for crime, and under the instruc
tions of the court the jury returned
their verdict on the morning of the 22,
of murder in the first degree. Judge
Smith appointed Wednesday of this
week for passing sentence.

A Thief at Large.
Sunday afternoon Mr. Crocker and
his wife, who live at the Eberline mill,
on the river south of Roseburg, were
visiting at Steve Minard's. A vouncj
man by the name of William Rider
rho was working at Min aril's, went to
Crocker's house and with the aid of an
axe effected an entrance,
and stole a
valise, a-sui: of clothes, nine or ten
dollars in money, a revolver and a lot
of cartridges. Monday morning Mr.
Crocker came, to Roseburg and swore
out a warrant. During tlis dav Mr.
Minard found the valise, witfc the cloth
ing, hid in his stable or barn. When
Mr. Crocker returned he informed him
where they were. Mr. Crocker took
the clothes out of the valise jnd put in
some old gunny sacks in their place
and concealed himself in the barn.
Tuesday morning when young Rider
! 1 . 1 f ... 1
went to icea tne norses ne went to tne
VrtUse to examine it. When ie caught
hold of the valise Crocker called to
him and informed him that he bad been
laying for him. The young man want
ed to compromise the matter, but
Crocker told him he would have to
come and see Sheriff Purdom,! as he
could not let him off. This he declined
to do and Mr. Crocker requested Mr.
Minard to watch him until he could
bring the sheriff, but when he started
to leave the boy broke and run.; Mr
Crocker started for Roseburg and met
Sheriff Purdom going out. The sheriff
has been searching for the culprit but
up to the present writing has not canght
his man.
P. S. Since the above was put in
type young Rider returned to Mr. Mi
nard's, who brought him to Roseburg
and turned him over to Sheriff Pur
dom. J ttdge Willis has been retained
t6 defend him and the preliminary
hearing before Judge Fitzhugh is set
for 9 o'clock Saturday morning.
The potato is probably the most
demoralizing of vegetables. It was
brought to Europe from America,
where it had doubtless kept the native
races in perpetual barbarism, and just
in proportion as any nation has become
addicted to it that nation has deteriora
ted. The potato contains little whole
some nourishment less even than the
rice eaten by Oriental nations. It
produces fat but does not produce bone
and sinew, and, what is by far its worst
fault, it has a most disastrous influence
uimjii the mind and morals. New York
Times.
Mr. R. D. Pitt, who' has lost caste
with his countrymen and been bounced
out of the Irish land league, may have
one consolation left, to-wit: He may
still be a simple, plain American citizen
as we natives are.

The poor-houso sent a delegate to
Clarkesburg the other day. While in
the 'burg the delegate and one of our
most prominent and knowing citizens,
one' who keeps posted about every
body's business, met and fixed up a ti
rade for the benefit of a certain person
i .... .
not! a thousand uiilea from Clarkes
burg, and sent their poor-Jiouse litera
turei to one of our county papers for
publication. Another person, a prom
inent citizen of Hubbard creek, also
came to Clark e&burg in order to help
whoop 'em up. When they got their
paper, alas for their fond hopes, it seems
that the editor clipped their item and
you bet, somebody was mad and our
smart citizen said some funny things
and, called the county editor curious
names som thing that might li8vc
been "school boy." We think tlfat S.
is. pianos !or school boy, anyway.
Moral When you want to give a per
son a setting up in the county papers
do net take too many persons; to help
youUnd especially an inmate of the
poor-house, for they may give it away.
The Coles valley school closed on
the 22d inst. with a grand exhibition.
Thej declamations aad dialogues deliv
ered, by the students were a credit to
both students and teacher, showing that
each one done their best and that they
had taken both time and pains to make
the entertainment a success to them-
f
selves and one of enjoyment to the
spectators. The song by little Lor en a
Clayton, entitled "Ten thousand miles
Awaty," was very nicelv sung. The
small scholars edited a paper called the
"Coies Valley Echo," which was a spicy
little sheet, read by little Miss Minnie
Thompson. The large students had a
paper entitled the "Coles Valley Liter
ary Vidette." It was edited and read
by Mr. A. D. Hawn and was tilled by
contributions by any one and every
one who would contribute. Some arti.
cles were very good, some might have
been dispensed with, and we think if
the editor had done a little more clip-
i
ping and dropped a few pieces into the
waste-basket instead of inserting them
ep
in the columns of his paper, it might
have retained the friendship of a few
who if they have ever cast a slur at him
do not know it As far as we are con
cerned we thank the editor for his little
slur on us, and if he has derived any
satisfaction or benefits from it he can
enjoy them to suit himself. We thank
Mr. A. D. Hawn and kindly wish him
success. W. E. Jordan.
