Danil Hill, charged with complicity in the robbery of a mail pouch iu Coos county, some time last December, was on trial yes terday in the U. S. Circuit court before a jury. The defendant had been accused by StiUwell, the principal in the crime, and this testimony was almost wholly unsup ported. The defense showed that Hill had borne a good reputation in the neighborhood in which he lived, aud had some diCiculty with Stillwell's family, into which he had married. This, it was supposed, constituted the auimus of tha accusation. The jury re turned a verdict of not guilty. Oregonian. Oregonian 13th: Eleven carloads of inv j migrants, the first section of a party occupy ing 4- cars, arrived here at ten o'clock yes terday morning. They are from manV dif ferent States and dispersed here for various points in Oregon and Washington.- Just af ter leaving the Dalles yesterday morniug one of the passengers, Mrs. Anna Powell of Ken tucky, aged 61, died on the train from ex haustion. She, with her husband and sev eral grown children, were en route to Doug las county. The remains were taken to Cork's undertaking establishment and will be shipped to Roseburg to-day. A Chinaman was seen through an open window on Second street yesterday, says the Oregonian, pacing up and down a room, holding in his hands a long flannel sack, the contents of which he was pouring from oue end to the other and back unceasingly. A gentleman who knows something of the dark ways of the Chinese j said that he was "sweating" coin that is, wearing it by fric tion, the particles worn off being taken up by the flanuel, wnich after a time will be burned aud the gold collected. It is not j known how much per day can be made in this way, out it any American engages m it be will employ machinery, aa it would seem that carrying on the trade by hand would wear a man out faster than it would the coin. Teacher's Institute. COITTI STATION OF THURSDAY 8 SESSION. Mrs. Ilattie R. Benson favored the Insti tute with an instrumental boIo after recess, and the same question discussed befora re cess "How shall we arouse a greater load interest in our schools?" was takea up and Mr. W. L Friedlander, of this city, was called for, who made some very practical remarks, proving that the directors of Uosebarg are anxious to improve oar pub lic schools. Judge C. Gaddis, J. L. Frsher, j Mis3 H. Fate, also made very good remarks. Mrs. M. C. Fenton of Eugene, was called npon, ffho very ably refcted the arguments advauced in an address that ladies are given too much to dress to be successful as teach ers and thaH their sole aim in securing an ed ucation is marriage. Tho lady was greeted with much applause as she took her seat. Judge L. F. Moshcr, J. R. Kendall, Mrs. T M. IvanofT anil .f. ITnrnr wrp nlurt terestinjj remarks, FVENJXG SESSION. At a very early hour the court hous was filled and when the time to commence the exercises had arrived, there was hardly standing room. Th opeuioc song by Mrs. A- F. Camp bell was a very beautiful one and was accom panied by a piano and violin. non. Biuger Hermann then opened a dis cussion upon the "Duties of the community to the public school," by an eloquent ad dress, which was received with much ap plause by the audience. "The Soldier's Chorus1' war the title of a song by five male voices, which was one of the best treats of the session. Prof. H. L. Benson of Drain, delivered an able address upon "The stutly of English literature." Prof. Benson has given the subject much Btudy and was well ijualihed to speak upon this important matter, Fol. lowing this was a vocal boIo by Mrs. G. W. Short of Wilbur. Mrs. Short i3 one of the best vocalists and this btiing one of her best efforts was greeted by great applause. President Thomas Van Scoy of the Wil- lammette university, was then introduced as the lecturer of the evening, his subject being "Influence of Thinking considered as a factor in tho development of character." President Van Scoy is an able epeakr and during his entire lecture, though the room was uncomfortably fdld, close attention was given to his many interesting thoughts, which were clothed in elegant language and was duly appreciated by the audience. Miss Franc Odell of Eugene, then sang a bolo. Miss Odell ia a beautiful singer and all her efforts during the institute were well received. After a few remarks by the president, an nouncing the work for the next day, tho evening session closed by a very beautiful solo by Mrs. S. C. Flint. IRt day's SS3SIOX. The morning session was opened by a well prepared piper on primary reading, by Mrs. T. M. Jackson, of the Eugene public schools. This subject was furtherfdiscussed by J. R. Kendall, J. E. Day, Mrs. G. T. Russell, Mr3. H. P. Webb, Mins Anna Kent, M iss G. M. McLafferty, 13. A. Cathey, Miss Nettie McCornaek, Miss Anna Geisoudoffer and H. L. Benson, Alter au instrumental solo by Miss Mae Underwood, Prof. G. T. Russell made a few well timed remarks upon the necessity of punctuality and good deportment. Supt. McElroy gave some very practical and useful hints upon the "Organization of district schools." "Is there not a tendency to be too practi cable in our school work?" was disensstd by W. F. Benjamin, G. T. Russe 1, B. A. Cathey, E. T., Lockard. The institute was opeued in the afternoon by an instrumental solo by Miss Delia Party? followed by an address by J. II, Kendall on orthography. This subject was well ban-, died by Mr. Kendall and his method of teach ing orthography was approved by ihe teach ers present. Aft a ocalsoloby MissNet- ! tie McCornaek the subject of "Language Lessons" was treated by Miss Anna Geisen- doffer of Drain, in an excellent essay. Mis, G. E. McLafferty followed with excellent remarks on the same subject. WT. F. Owens then delivered a masterly address upoi "lemperancc education in our public schoo'a." After recess a vocal solo was renderad by Miss Mae Underwood. Rev. E.T. Lockard of Oakland, gave a very practical address upon "School Hygeine-" The subject. "Shall we permit whisper. iH?" was discussed by H. L. Benson, B. A. Cathey and PresideutJVan Scoy. A resolution introduced by H. P. Webb endorsing the action of the State board of education in recommending a text-book on temperance, was adopted, as was a resolu tion introduced by W. F. Benjamin asking that physiology be one of the common school branches. Committee on resolutions, consisting of G. T. Russell, II. L. Benson and Mrs. M. C. Fenton, made a report thanking railroad of ficials for reduction of fare, county officials for U3e of court house and the people of Roseburg for the hospitality shown the teach ers from a distance, In closing our report of the teacher's in stitute at this place we cannot omit to men tion that the last night was very enjoyable. The entertainment given bj the "teachers of the young idea how to shoot," was a suc cess from beginning to end thereof. It was good and thoroughly appreciated by a large and intelligent audience. Tho receipts came within a few cents of paying all expenses in cident to everything connected therewith. This speaks well for the teachers and not poorly for Roseburg. Sale Room. Our old patron, W. G. Woodward, with an eye to business for himself and comfort and convenience for his customers, has opened a sale room for harness, saddlery and other goods in his Hue, in the building ad joining Marks Jt CVs brick. He makes a good and attractive display and his new place is a valuable acquisition to the principal business street of our city. The old stand will bo utilized for man ufacturing purposes. .

FEOM OAKLAND. Quietwde prevails. The drummers are making their ap pearance in large numbers. Our general health is good and every one is enjoying life to its fullest extent Father Shupe was seriously afflicted dunns the week with neuralgia of the hart. At this writing he is improving slowly. After a Ipng period of severe snSW ing Mother Brown was relieved of the pangs and pains of sickness by the an gel of death. The relatives and friends arc tendered our entire sympathies. Rev. Shelby of Drain, expounded the gospel in our town lait Sabbath to a large aad appreciative audience. Tho grangers report the grain pros poet as being good, and everything is indicative of prosperous times for the future. Stock buyers aie making their ap pearance in this section, but are not willing vto pay the ptlccs asked by the owners. Alout the first of tine week our town was visited by a severe storm, similar in character to a cvclone. At the com inencement of the storm a great deal of damage wa3 anticipated, but the ele ments soon became more mild aod tLe storm cloud soon vanished, leaving all sorene and lovelr. Some of our prominent citizens wra grossly assau'ted during the week, by a party circulating slanderous report?, which dealt very severely with their good names. We are pleased to re mark that their endeavors to injure our citizens was not attended with suc cess and the perpetration of that das tardly deed is groping aiound in dis gust, with a sad heart. The Standard of the 12th says: Yes terday we had a pleasant vinit with Michael Dean, one of the promident men and farmer., residents of lliddle, Douglas county, in this State. Mr Dean visits Portland for the first wtme in fifteen years, and makes one day stop over in hia first journey to the old home," located near St. Joe, Missouri, which he, in company with about one hundred emigrants, left twenty years aao. Mr. IJean is accompanied by Jen- a v a tha Thornton and daughter and V. II. Kernan of Roseburg. Mr. Thornton made one of the emigrant party twenty years ago, and visits the east with his old friend. Mr. Dean expresses him self a3 fairlv bewildered at the wonder ful growth of this city. This growth was greatly emphasized to him yester day, when he attempted to locate the old camping ground of his psrty on the Wil'auiette river, in September, 1864, aftsr a five months journe'y across the plains. These gentlemen left by the Northern Pacific train last evening. They will accomplish their old-time live utomhs journev, in fire days by rail. A Future Seaside Eesort. We 1 telie ve it is generally conceded by tour ists that of all places in Oregon, none affords a more magnificent landscape scenery than that from Coos Bay to Port Orf ord. It is not all forest nor vet an open plain, but combines the prairie, the forest, the level plain, the rolling hill, the smooth and hard beach, the uucwasing roll of old - ocean, the pretty white cottage and its green shut ter, the flower garden, the clifF, the rocky clusters in deep ocean, the rest less sea gull, the sportive and loud-com plaining rea lions as they roll, and climb, aud sport and plunge, all these create a charm one never tires to gaze upon. On the beach one can travel with inquiring look on the countless shells, pebbles, agates and broken relics of other land?. He travels thus along so absorbed by the curiosities he walks on that he forgets even time and dis tance. The monotonv, if it should be. conie such, is often lelieved by tho sigat of some ship gliding along ma jestically on the high seas. For a healthful or a pleasant trip commend us to this section of Oregon. Good. Yankee Doodle entertain ment of last Wednesday was another success. The performances of this dash ing company are characterized with novelty and good taste. Sheridan, Chase and Goine are a good show within themselves. Walsh is exceptionally worthy of mention; ho does well all he undertakes. However, there must be no invidious distinctions. All the boys do the best they can to learn and please. It is far better to patronize them than to encourage passing shows. Succoss attend them. Public Sale.-F. P. Hogan, exec utor of tho estate of J. C Floed, has advertised for sale at the old store, cer tain personal pioperty. Sale to trans, pire at 1 P. M. this (Saturday) after noon. A man by the name of Wm. Foster came from Ilinois lately to V'sit his aged mother in Nestucca, and on the 10th of February attempted to cross the mountains into that valley and lost his way. He was found two' days after ward frozen to-deth.. Roseburg. "VVe know of no place with a mere promising -future than Roseburg. All assurances point Co ac tive improvements on the coast this summer. Whether the result is to be the immediate construction of a railway to this city we express no opinion; it is enough to know that earnest operations on Coos-Bay must at once produce a corresponding elFect here. Traffic and travel will com me .ice bstwecn the two points. Attraction from abroad will be invited to enthe, southern Oregon. Tho unriraled mill sites and ' water power all around us must seen be put to their natural manufacturing facili ties. Capital from the factory centres ot the Atlantic States will soon dis cover these advantages. TLe profita bleness of a wool factory has long ago been conceded. Our local capital can not unite on any projet of this kind. In Ashland, some years ago, a few men of enterprising spirit made a venture in this direction, and though deprived f all railroad and water transportation, it grew rapidly in prosperity and popu lation, and to-day is the most thriving town of its size on the coast. Not only this, but it has advanced all the adja cent country in proportion. Boseburg is the centre of the main wool growing country of southern Oregon. It is the wool depot, and for the most desirable grades. With a commodious, modern built bridge spanning the Umpqua riv er here, and the contemplated improve ments among our own citizens, w"e feel justiUed in predicting for Roseburg not only an encouraging, but a perma nent future. Improved Butter Making. II seems that an effort is being made to place Oregon butter on a par with that of any State in the Union. Two dai l ies at least, in this section, have or dered the most improved apparatus for making butter, being what is known as the De Laval cream separator, a Swiss i invention, in which the cream is sepa rated from the milk by the action of a rapidly revolving disk, without the te dious operation of setting it out in pans. By tin's method butter is made within an hour from the time the cows are milkfd. The next move will prob ably be to invent a machine into which the cow can bo put and the butter whirled light out of her. Let the good work go or, and let there be an end to importing eastern lard as a lubricator for our bread. Oregonian. . Says the Standard. Daniel T. Hill and Andrew Gaines, charged as the ac complices of young StiUwell in robbing the U. S. mail on the route from Myr tle Point to Camas vallev, were on trial in the TJ. S. Circuit court yesterday. After the testimony was all in, Gaines was discharged from custody, as there was no evidence that tended to show tbat he was in any way connected with the transaction. The case ,will be ar gued to-day, and then given to the jury StiUwell, the young nvin'who took the 100 from the mail pouch, has already pleaded guilty, and sentence will be passed upon him, when tbe trial of the present case is completed. Says the Sprague Herald: A gen tleman came down from tho mines on day this week and tells a -"straightforward story and one we are inclined to believe, of the mines and the outlook for tbefutuie. He says he went theie last fall and is familiar with all tho lo- catiens made, and how they are paying, He says the "Widow" claim is the only one which has ever paid anything; that there will be more money taken jinto the mines in tho next three months han will be taken from them in the next five months. A correspondent of tho New York Times reports that in Leavenworth, Kansas, a city of about 16,500 people, there are to-day not less than 140 sa loons in which intoxicating liquors are openly sold, and those saloons are vir tually licensed by tbe city at the rate of $10 a mouth for each dealer. The fee is imposed in the shape of a monthly fine for violation of the law, dealers, city authorities and courts uniting thus to evade the law, and public sentiment sustaining this demoralizing ,'' policy. Prohibition must have been put into the State constitution to stay. It appears not to be in the saloons. Oregonian. A Good Subscriber. James L. McKinney of Yamhill county, paid this office a visit, in tbe shape of compli ments and coin. Although no longer a citizen of Douglas, he feels the same deep, good interest in her welfare, As a wheel horse of Democracy he states that it ; the sentiment of Yamhill that Hogan and Sheridan should again be nominated. Hon. F. P. Hogan is disgusted with the dog license law. Mr. i is pos xtively in favor , of killing withont lien- efit of clergy. Words are inadequate to express his abhorrence of the com olacent canine. The man who stabbed Moore at Pr3cott the other day, has not yet been captured. - ; The Present Year. We antici pate for the present year on the open ing of Bpring, -one of remarkable pros perity. In the first place coming to a mild winter, the snow covering- the ground and protecting the wheat plant, has really also fertilized the earth and mast show itself in large and thrifty crops. Tho wool yield will be about the same, if not exceeding former years. lo this we add another source of prosperity our people little count sr. . on. it will oe the inrtre ; immigration to Oregon. This will exceed that of any former year.. The majority wil 1 permanently locateand in so doing will bring among our. people largo sums of money, which will be divided among all classes of business. Much buildinar will be another .result and thus an ac tive demand will be ms.le for xr sur plus labor. Po'icemau Ward, who bought the mate rial used in printing the East Portland Dem ocratic Era, says it is for the use of his brother, J. T. Ward, who is now at Treut creek, aud who proposes to establish a news paper in the Ooeur d'A!eue mining district. Hurt Again. Wo regret to state that upon last Saturday J udge Mosher again seriously injured bis left leg. He has been confined at homo since then and hia suffering has assumed the form of acute lheumatism. Wo hope he may soon be with us. The absence of Mr Ball and the ailment of the Judjre will account somewhat for the paucity of mind and mattr in this issuo of our paper. Loft. Bert Hogan and W. Butler, brother and brother-in-law of our fel low-townsman F, P. Hogan, started for their home in Minnesota last Mon day. Wo wish them a pleasant trip. Whilst hero they nnide many well wishers and good friends They left expressing themselves pleased with Or egon and its people. We hope to sec them back again to remain permanently. . Dull.
