A good world can will honor tho meaiory of a grand iilizer. The third quarterly meeting of th M. E. Church, lloseiiiiig C'rcuir-, will be held at Canyonvillo on Match 29th andtCti. Ser vices will commence Saturday, at 2:30 P. M., by the Presiding Elder. Per. I. D. Driver Hon. James Wright paid us a thing visit this week. He reports his mine in promis ing condition and says when ho cleans up a success he will buy a naw suit for himself and one for our Jenkins, all of which suits him, providing it fits. A. H. l5omer of Boise City, managing agant.of Saulsbury, Daily 4 Co. at that place and also aj;eut of Wells,' Fargo & Co., was in this city during the week. It is truly pleasant to meet so gesia! a gent'eman an t he presence of Billy Carl I does not detract from the p'easure of meeting both The Republican county committee met at tho office of J. C. Fu'.leiton oa Tuesday evening, and issued a call for a connty con ventiou. The primaries are to be held on April 19th, and the county convention on April 24th. The second meeting of the District Lodge I. O. G. T. for Douglas county, will be hekl in Uosrburt', commencing Thursday even mg, April 17th, and continuing over the 18th and 19th. A good program is being pre pared and all subordinate lodges are ex pected to send full d;legation3. Our late localizers, j Wilson, Walsh and Lane, have per force, surrendered their im portant trusf. Of the latter named we make ho mention, let it be said ha was a good fighting editor and can whip any person not over tho stature of five years. His conduct as conductor is most excellent and past crit icism. ' ' j Our old-time friend Jasper Hall, was with us this week. He is looking real well and reflects credit to the ! climate of Jackson i county. He informs us that he has in pub lication a book concerning personal remi niscences in the lato war. Of course he will I preseuc us a copy ana men we wilt criticise. ne i3 a ROOJ frjeu,l and. we will be kind and j . i candid, but would that our enemy might write' a book. ; Married on the 19th day of March 18S4, at the residence of L. Short in the towu of Wilbur, by F. R. Hill, notary public, R. M. Otey to Linda J. Short, both of Douglas county. We wish the ! ytning couple all the hymeneal bliss imaginable, and although this is the first case of ja notary public per forming the marriage ceremony, we doubt not but the pleasures will be as great and the tie as lastin; as though it had b?en per formed by a full-fledged minister of the gospel. j Daniel Hil who was charged as accessory of young Stillwell in purloining monay from the mail sacks, after he was acquitted started for his home in Coos county. He came as far as Drain on th cars and started to go over tho mountain, when he became delir ious and Lad to return j to Drain- Mr. Hill while in prison suffered, severely aad became Very much' emaciated, j He is now in Rose burg, very feeble in body aud mind, among strangers and without money. It took what little property he had to make hia defense. Thus a strong man has been brought to the verge of the grave and the support for him self and family taken away by the wicked machination of the really guilty parties. There was no evidence; outside of the Still well boys that showed him to have any knowledge of the affair, and their testimony proved that it was a "put up ' job. DiED.--At the family residence near Galesvil'e, Oregon, on March 8, 1884, of paralysis, Mrs- Harriei C. Martin, wife of Col. Win. J. Martiu,! aged 67 years, 3 i months and 22 days I . (!. i : . Eossism hi Politics- Mount Scott Rams. "Wilbur, March 17, 1884. Mr. Editor: Boss-Ism is eorraled ia Oregon and political reform commenced. The people are being consulted before the losses move out upon tbe linv. So wc may conclude the laborer has lie come worthy of his hire. The experience of a hundred years has settled the fact that tarifl h essen tial to the preservation of our govern ment. Now, for our nexi president, James G. Blaine, the American statesman and Itobert Lincoln for vice president, is my choice. In order to gat the voice of the people, let every voter turn out to the primary meetings. There is where political economy commences. There is where tho bosses have done their work heretofore. Let the watch word be, "let 110 guilty man escape." These are the old landmarks of our bivfatbers and so mote it b. F. R. Hill. Mr. Hill of Wilbur, favors us this weeic with a communication. For a Renublicau h j. . i 1 against the bosses and manifests a great deal of enthusiasm in his method of po- itical reform. We fear that Flem's ardor will be very much cooled when the Republican county convention meets, and that he will be conftonted with tho ling he. was enquiring after in his lust letter. He, in common with all rue believers ia civil service reform, will be relegated to seclusion bv the josses. They dare not trust the offices in the hands of s.ich men as Mr. Hill est tbe spoils system suffer from the change. All combined monopolies seek to oppress individual industry..' The rail. read company charge the farmers of this valley all the profit or maigin there is on the products of their farms for transportation to market. Our farmers will either have to quit raising grain for market, or so regulate freights that the company will allow them a part of the profits on wheat they raise. If the farmers of this valley see to it that no man is nominated on either ticket who is not in favor of so regulat ing the freights and fares as to be just to the company and at the same time pro tect the interests of the farmers. Calico Ball. 'Tis thus our Jen kins, social autocrat, writes tho calico ball of the ''seventeenth day of Erin' last, at this place. Really being some what aesthetic in taste and purely fash ionablo in appreciation, we kuew much concerning costumes, dressing, etc., from casual observation. Dresses a la pompadour et Josephine, double et Ju nophine, adorned with panier stuffed with truffles and the Independent and Plaindealer and such like, and further ornamented with "polyneigh," or words to that effect, we fully comprehended, but when it came to a calico bail we were at sen, without compass. YvT were pleasurably surprised. Tho ladies on this occasion appeared so in the full est extent. If it were not for false and foolish notions silks and satins look no better than pretty calico on pretty women. In short, the ladies looked well, in movement were grace ful and in manner most gracious. As for the gentlemen they had to do wei or we would hare fired them out. The Hook and Ladder company deserve credit for excellent management. In the futuie they will be fully eppre- ciated. The chief mogul of our contemporary was on Thursday presented with a medal, as the champion pagoda player. The presentation speech was made by our Jenkins, who in his happiest mood doue the honors with becom ing grace and dignity. The reception speech by the Plaindealer man showed the high appreciation with which he received the flattering testimonial of his skill as a gamester. Dog shot; by whom we know not. That is the question. Upon last Sunday evening, Sport, the owner ot whom is Maurice Abra ham, whilst chawing the bone of content ment was shot by some contemptible son of an improvident mother. The good dog was en his own ground and had paid his licrns, according to ordinance and being native born was entitled to respect. A reward wii' be paid to any one who will name the assas sin. The injured dog still survives, but of the miserable cur who shot him we hope to hear of an early demise. Woman Suffragists- A Boston dispatch to the Oregonian, March 16th, says: Mrs. Abigail Scott Dun iway addressed an immense audience in Tre mont temple this aftarnoon. She held the close attention of her hearers for more than aa hour. Her graphic description of west ern life and manners created great enthusi asm, and her account of the varied resources and attractions of the, northwest were a sur prise to many. The woman suffragists of Massachusetts are already arranging for au active campaign daring the coming ytar, and are much encouraged by Mrs. Duuiway's confidence in the adoption of the woman suf frage amendment in Oregon nxt June. The effects of mineral water pray observe, See this epitaph: Here lies I and my three daughters, Killed by drinking Jones' waters. . If we had stuck to our Epson salts, We'd not be a lying in these vaults. But the fellow lied, nevertheless. We had quits a snow storm onj the 7th, 8th and 9th inst., but it melted nearly as fast as it fell. ' Messrs.-Owen Atterbury and Ander son Bullock were out prospecting for gold along tho north Umpqua, in this vicinity a few days since; but whether they found the yellow stuff in suffi cient quantities to pay for working, we have not learned. j . Mr. Johnny Thomascn has been put ting substantial improvements on his homestead, in the folks of the river, the past winter, by erecting a good frame barn, cleaning and fencing land. j Mrs. Roberts cf Canyonvill is quite sick at the residence of her fath er, Mr. John Chapman, I i Rev. Jeptha Thornton and wife started for north Missouri, on a visit to old friends and relativts, last Monday, the 10th inst. We wish them a pleas-i ant' journey, hopo they may enjoy their; visit in the highest elegise, return safely to their many friends and old ! home in Douglas county. j Everything passed off quietly and peaceably at the annual school meet ing of the districts in tin's neighbor hood. Mr. Russell Poe is putting up a new dwelling on iiis homestead and will soon have it ready for occupancy. ; The majority of farmers in this part of the county still have considerable grain to sow. j t The grouse have commenced to hoot and according to the old saying all the old cows are good for a.iother summer at grass. Mr. J. F. Wright, who has been quite sick at his. brother's for the past three weeks, is convalescing. Mr. John Livingston is putting up some new fence oh his place, which will enhance the value thereof. Mr. L. is a wide-awake, energetic - farmer. Some young men not far away from this locality hold to tho old proverb that the "farthest way around is the nearest way home." However, we are under the impression that there must be some attraction to divert .them awav from the usual route and cause them to follow strange and isolated roads and go miles away from their old route, to avoid fording that dangerous little river. Mr. C. II. Wright is planting out a young orchard and considerable small fruit in the line of berries, etc., on his place, which is very essential, as fruit is conducive to health, when used with moderation, and wards off" a great many doctor hills. Mr. W. Hughes is having several thousand rails made on his place, pre paratory to building some cross strings of fence, as he calculates to raise quite an extensive corn crop this coming season, and does not wiah to be de prived of his stubble pasture. Mr. Henry Shaft, one of our aged and highly respected citizens, was in terred at the Wimberly bury'ng ground on last Wednesday, the 12r.h inst. Stock is doing well since the recent stomi. C. II. Wright has located a ranch near the foot of Mount Scott. He pro poses engaging in fruit culture. He has qui'e a number of varieties of fruit, such as peaches, plums, apples and small fruit?. He has had bad luck with his line imported hogs. He lost ten head during the storm. Butler Atterbury lost a fine mare a few days ago. ! It is rumored that Mr, P. P. W. and Mrs. M. will be married soon. j i Sir. L. D. Hughes was seen among several young ladies last Sunday. He reminded one of a young mule halting between two hay stacks, unable to de cide which was the sweetest. Mr. B. went to Roberts ereek re cently in search of Rosea, but owirtg to the cold weather ho was unsuccessful- Farmers are pretty well through seeding. Grain looks well and the prospects are favorable for a good bar- vert. The political pot is beginning to boil. We want a sound Democrat for Presi dent Tilden, or some other groat and good statesman. The Democrats will carry Mount Scott at the coming elec. tion, I think. j At the school meeting Wm. Butt W. Hughes and John Livingston were elected trustees and C. II. Wright clerk. Coyotes, cougars, wildcat?, and other destructive varmints are plentiful. Married. Thursday evening March 20th, at the residence of John Cox, in Roseburg, by Rev. John Hcwatd, Wm. Woods te Miss Rosa Gage. Mr. Woods is an exceptional young man and Miss Rosa is ono of Roseburg's most charming young ladies. They have bright prospects before them; may their pathway never ba clouded is the sincere wish of this office. i Y7ILBDE irjJMS. Our clean, quiet town is putting on the air of. loveliness and the garb of beauty. The winter term of school will close on the 28 tb. The spring term, which will be a public school, v ill commence the next week, or the week following. Miss R. E. Hoffman the primary teacher has proven quite a favorite with her scholars and has labored to advance them in their studies. Any district not yet supplied with a good teacher would do well to correspond with Miss Hoffman. The entertainment given on the 3rd proved a fine success, as many of them J that took part were inexperienced. The name of Prof. G. T. Russell of Oakland is mentioned as a suitable can didate for school superintendent on the Democratic ticket. We are not ad vised whether Prof. Russell would ac cept, but if nominated and elect-id he would certainly make a No 1 officer. About two weeks favorable weather will finish up sserliug in this section. Rev. J. R. Roberts preached an elo quent sermon at t!i8 Presbyterian chapel on Sunday night. Uncle Johnny Lrxwson is enlarging Wilbur somewhat with new buildings. j Immigrants to Douglaa county would do well to examine Wilbur and r , i l ' s I UCIUIC v,,r citizens are not all trying to get away, but there are a few places that may be purchased by tho proper parties. Mr. G. W. Grubbe, our aeeommoda- lltg postmaster and general merchant, talks of setting eut fori the Coeur 'Ur Alene LIdorauo. v llbur will miss IllH. Jlr. Tnos. Scurr, uncle of Thos.

Others will move iere on account of school facilities, A higher course, consisting of higher mathematics, language, word analysis, vocal culture, phisiology and the nat- ural sciences will be taught, in con nection v.ith the common school studies.

Sunshine and shower. Rev. Richardson of Eugene city, is visit ing friends in Oakland. The conduct of the transgressor is very unpleasant. A. F. Brown is doing Portland this week. Mr. Appleate, who has been seriously ill for several weeks, is now improving. The winter term of the Oldtown school will close on Friday, An txhibition will be vtu. Father Shupe, who has been seriously af fected for several days with neuralgia of the heart, is reported as improving at this writ ing, we are glad to learn. Dr. IT. Little, who has been absent for ssveral week, made his return on Monday and will now attend the wants of his many. f.iends. A series of meetings are now being held at this place by the Presbyterian church. The best talent the church possesses is present and they are laboring hard to place the way ward on the right road. The evidences of spring are with us st last and no mistake, a,3 wc are bathed with the gentle showers, fanned by the pleasant zephyrs loaded with warmth and we are en veloped by the bright sunshine of a spring time sun. Everything is teeming with life and energy, indicative of prosperity in the near future. Every thing in this locality is in good con dition. Our general h'-alth was never better, the grain and grass are luxuriant and the stock is looking well. A larger acreage of grain bass been sown than was ever known before in this locality, and the granger wears a smile indicative of good times in the fu ture. X. X. X.
