from a distance.
A number of stock-raisers of Douglas
county have crlled a meeting to be held in
Roseburs:, on Saturday, the 2Gth of April, at
which time it is desired that all persons
owning fine stallions kept for breeding pur
poses, will exhibit the same in front of Car
lou's livery stable, at 2 o'clock p. m.
K. J. Keyes of Looking-glass, was offered
a few days ago 18 par acre for 4G0 acres of
land in that valley. This is a pretty good
price, but Mr. Keyes promptly rsfuscd to
accept the oiler. Wait awhile, when the
Coos Bay railroad starts up, and land in this
vicinity will enjoy a substantial boom.
Messrs. N. N. Chapman, I). E. Venatten,
Stephen Shrum and Ceorgel Beal will leave
on Monday morning's train for the Spokane
countrj', on a tour of inspection, They will,

to live contented the balance of their days
in old Douglas. '
Wm. Carl!, superintending the stage
routes from here to Empire Cit3, returned
from a tour of inspection from Yreka last
Wednesday. He reports our good friends
Col. Stone and Al. Burroughs in good health
and happy and kind as ever. So may it be
uuto the close of our time. Ym.Carll left
for Coos Bay Thursday morning. Billy has
much work oil his hands but he is equal to
any emergency, i
Our old friend J. J. Cmnstock was in town
this week. We were glad to see hitn look
ing so well. George Ilaynes, always bon
honiie, congratulated him upon his improved
appoarauce. Whereupon Jem quaintly re
marked: "Well, George, I am very like the
Irishman's pig, fat at both ends but lean in
the middle." And then we remarked:
'Good for our Jem."
A. E. Champagne has in progress the con
struction of a building connecting with his
hotel. It will front on Main 3treefc and will

comfort of his guests, who properly appreci
ate his good cheer.
The circus nickel plstetl, yeung elephant,
old l.on, tattooed woman, fairy, fine tum
blers, pretty women and all sich will be here

here, informs aa that they have been delayed
from seme cause or other, but he expects the
whole outfit to be here some time in the coin
ing week.
The entertainment given by the Roseburg
Temperance dramatic troupe last Saturday
evening, at the Grange hall, was a success in
every particular. The music wa3 good, es
pecially the song by Sallie Tibbetts, in which
the local hits; were we'l received. The
"Philosophy of Evolution" was a laughable
speech and was well rendered. The "Yan
kee Doodle" hand was in attendance and did
their best. Tha dramas were well acted and
everybody went home pleased.
Mr. E. G. Hursh returned from Corvallis
on Wednesday evening's train, accompanied
by his family. We are sorry to learn that
his injuries were more severe than at first
reported, some of the small bones of the foot
being badly crushed and the flesh severely
bruised. He had to be carried from the de.
pot to his residence, the pain being so in
tense that he could not withstand the jar of
a carriage. It is hoped that with gentle
nursing his smiling countenance and familiar
face will soon be seen upon our streets again.
The citizens of the Hudson school district
r
in this county met last Sunday and organ
ized a Sundayj school, with the following
officers: Superintendent, J. S. Rice; assist
ant superintendent, G. W , Wanacott; sf-cre-tary,
Miss Anna McEnzie; treasurer, Thos.
Hervey. The day school, under the efficient
caro of Mr. G.jW. Wanacott, is in a flour
ishing condition. We cannot refrain from
mentioning the innovation which has been
made by the teacher and pupils in the care of
the school room. The floor is kept scrupn.
lously clean, tiie walls are festooned with
evergreens, while upon the teacher's desk
fragrant flowers she J their sweet perfume
and add to the; beauty of the surro undines.
The March number of the Portland
(Oregon) West Shore is of more general
interest than any of its predecessors.
The scientific articles on Tha Great
Northwest are continued; also the
paper on On Industries and Resources.
Two interesting historical articles, en
titled Fremont and the Modocs and
Origin of California and Oregon,
throw light upon the early history of
the coast. There ar-e also descriptions of
various localities, scenery and curious
objects in the Great West, notes of
general interest regarding that region,

and are empowered to act as delegates
to both conventions, to be held on the
2lth of April and the 7th day of May
respectively.
The apportionment made by the com.

The committee request the personal
attendance of delegates, making prox
ies the except'bn and not the rule; and
that the precinct meetings be well at
tended, as tho interest there taken will
be recompensed by securing judicious
action in convention and success in
June. J. W. Hamilton,

Accidentally Killed-
Whilst -it is always a sad duty to
chronicle the death of any one, and es
pecially of the young, it is the more so
when deatli comes by accident. It was
with pain that wo learned that on Sun
day last Miss McCoy, who was living
n the eastern edge of Looking-glass
was accidentally killed. It seems that
she was sitting in a chair holding a
sick child. In the SDine room there
were two of hr nieces, aged respec
tivelv five and eight. The latter was
setting
near. liie younger,
whilst
rummaging over a trunk, discovered a
pistol, which in handling in childish
curiosity, was accidentally discharged.
At the report the elder niece turned
around and found the smoke curling
ftom the pistol in the hands of the little I
one and then, to her horror, found poor
Miss McCoy prostrate cn the floor.
The bullet entered between the right
cheek bone and temple and came out
near the left ear, and produced imme
diate paralysis. She never spoke again
and lingered an hour or so, when death
closed the sad scene.
The little one who fired the fatal
shot must have been standing with her
back to her aunt, with tho muzzle to
wards her face, as her cheek was
powder-burned.
Miss McCoy was about seventeen
years of age bright, intelligent and
much admired. To her suffering rela
tives and friends, who are deeply
shocked by this melancholy occurrence,
the sudden death of a loved daughter
and sister, we extend our heartfelt svnr
pathics. She was buried last Tuesday.
Notable Death. Leopold, Duke
of Albany, the fourth son of Queen
Victoria, died at Cannes, France, on
the morning of Friday, March 28th.
He had visited a fete given in his hon
or on the night of the 27th and ap
peared in unusually buoyant spirits.
Uppn return to the club room ho fell
suddenly ill and was taken to his rooms.
He sufficiently recovered to dispatch to
the Duchess as to his condition. Dur
ing . the niirht he was seized with
spasms and lingered so until early in
the morning, -when the angel of death
received him. lie was one of the
Queen's brightest children, but after all
tha paths of royalty, as well as those of
ordinary mortality, lead but to the
grave.
Admonition. The accidental killing
of Miss McCoy should again invite at
tention of our laaw-makers. Of course
no law could be made anticipatory of
such an event, but aa a general princi
ple pistols and all lethal weapons are
an abomination in the eyes of every
peaceful person. A brave man won't
carry one, and a coward should not be
allowed to do so. A thing that flour
ishes a pistol around in a menacing
manner should be consigned to the jail
for safe keeping. Ho is too awkward
to shoot himself, but might, by acci
dent, shoot a human being. Children
should net be permitted even to touch
one and drunk men, who are always
boisterously braggadocia, furiously on
the shoot, cut and drag out, deserve a
few publie lashes and a quiet letire
ment on bread and water for from 30
days to the end of life. City dads,
please give this matter your attention.
To-day the Democratic primaries will be
held in the various precincts in this county
Let the best men be selected.
Eioi in Oincinnati .
The riot in Cincinnati last week is
simply" horrible and disgraceful in the
extreme. The original cause of the
riot is substantially in brief as follows.
William II. Kiel was murdered in
his stable last February by Berner,
who stood behind the door and when
his victim entered smashed his head
with a hammer. He robbed him of
$400, put the body into the wagon of
the murdered man and hauled it oil and
dumped it into Mill creek, where it was
found a few days later. Suspicion
rested upon Berner, but the proof was
only circumstantial. After being ul
rested he was offered certain clemency
by the ofHce-rs, who virtually promised
that he would not at all events be
hung if he made full confession, which
he thereupon did, making the crime
most hideous indeed, lie was after
ward duly indicted for niurdex in the
first degree, lie appeared by able
counsel, who, when the confession was
offered in testimony, objected to the
admission of the same, upon the ground
that the confession was obtained by the
promises improperly made by the offi
cers. The court sustained 'he objec
tion, holding that a confession obtained
by false hopes of reward, or by threats
of torture, was not a voluntary confes
sion and, therefore, ruled that the jury
could not consider tho same. They
then proceeded to try the case, inde
pendent of any thing Berner might have
said, under the circumstances mention
ed. The case throughout seems to have
Iwen considered very fairly and pru
dently bv the court. After the usual
instructions the .jury retired and sub
sequently returned a verdict of man
slaughter in the fiist degree. The
judge promptly sentenced the prisoner
to confinement in the penitentiary for
twenty years and remanded him to the
officers, to bo taken to Columbus. The
trouble then began. The. people were
indignant at the event of the trial and
some very prominent citizens expressed
themselves so in a quiet, orderly man
ner. Of this feeling in my demoniac
hoodlums took ml vantage 'and a law
loss young devil exclaimed, "Follow
me! On to jj.il and hang Berner!''
This was the signal the sequel for which
is above expressed iu tha word horrible.
lc commenced a little after midnight
of the 27th and continued until early
in the morning of Sunday last. An
assault was first made upon the county
jail, which ws promptly barricaded
and desperately and successfully de
fended throughout. Some insatiate
fiend suggested "fire the court house
and treasurer's office." No." sooner said
than done. We have read of the van
dalism of the Goths, Visigoths and
Huns, but remember nothing to euual
this villainy. In one case they were in
the lands of enemies, but in this the
nob was pillaging their own hemes, or
household of their friends. Many crai
lant soldieis, officers and firemen fell
befoie the crazy wrath of the rioters.
Notably was the death of Capt. Des
mond, who died bravely leading a de
tachment to defend the court house.
The troops withheld solid shot until
further patience became impossible.
The fourteenth regiment seemed to have
properly considered the situation and
finding that to stop further progress of
the pandemonium a little killing was
necessaiy, proceeded to kill in the old
fashioned, fighting style. As the re
sult of several well directed volleys
the mob began to reflect that tee one
sided aspect cf affairs had suddenly
changed; that they were actually con
fronted with the strong arm of the law,
backed by the firm, determined power
of the great State of Ohio. They
lookcd around and found dead and dy
ing on every hand and crape for many
doors, and bitter, burning tears from
sorrowing hearts. In the bewildered
daze of the moment, as coming from a
dream, they could see the smouldering
ashes of their magnificent court house
and a library the pride of all our peo
ple arul, worse still, recerds of inappre
ciable value gone forever, the loss of
whicjliwill entail confusion and distress
upon millions yet unborn. The lives
of hundreds Kiels or 'Berneis cannot
atone for the sins they have committed
They can realize now that they vere
maniacs or fiends incarnate, or both
combined. They wanted to drive law
yers from their homes, but in a few
days they will want to import more.
The law will yet be vindicated and
many of the fa will in due time meet
Mr. Berner in his twenty-year resi
dence at Columbus, where he is now
resting from the effects of his race from
their pursuit of vengeance. " Ven
ireman ce is mine," savs the All Wise one
and hard as it may seem, the leaders
of this riot will experience it yet. The
hour of their drunken, mad spasm is
over, only to be expiated in sackcloth
and ashes. But the history of this
sickening drama is already written.
Enough. Every American should re
member the high office he occupies and
the duties required of him. Condemn
mobs and mob law wherever developed
throughout the length and breadth of
otu fair land, sternly rebuke that spirit
and severely punish those who en
courage it
Spring Hill Parm.
Mn. Editor: Having moved my family
to Spring Hill farm, in Washington county,
owned by J. L. Hal'ett, cantaiuing over ne
thousand acres of land, and as you have a
great many subscribers who are good horse
men, I thought it my duty to give you a few
points about thia place.
Spring Hili farm is 23 xnilrs from Port,
laud and four miles from Forest Grove
They have a half-mile track which is the
tuiest in Oregon. One-ha f of the track is
cow covered and the balace will be this sum
mer. Mr. Jay Beach is located here with
22 of his thoroughbred Kentucky horses,
which he is now training on the track. Hal
let has rive thoroughbreds, which he is now
training. When you add my stock to the
above, I pride it that Spring Hill farm will
turn ont horses and colts that will take every
premium that they go for this year. Thia
v ill be the only covered track in the world
of its size. Next winter this will be the
place for all fast horsemen to send tlair
horses to have them trained, as they can go
every day, rain or shine. Plenty of pasture
a.id stable room can be found for five hun
dred horses J. L. McKinney.

Our general health is good.
A. J. Manning, an old resident of

John Norwood Esq., a thorough bus
iness man, lias embarked in an extens
ive grocery business and we are satis
fied will be very successful in his new
undertaking, if business qualifications

James Derland, the ancient vulcan
of this place, who retired from the field
a short time since and fled to Portland
to rest on his laurels, has returned to
the place he deserted and has settled
down to business again.
Dr. J. W. Harris, an experienced
and successful physician late of San
Francisco and Portland medical schools,
has permanently located in this place.
The Doctor comes to our town highly
recommended by the leading lights of
the medical profession.
W. B. Clarke Esq , superintendent
of the county hospital, proprietor of the
lumbering interests on Hubbard cretk,
gave us a pleasant call this week. Mr.
Clarke's visit to this place was iu the
interest of his business, we surmise,
and not, as may imagine, in connection
with political matters.
One of our fair ladies was badly
frightened one night this week, soon
after retiring to her couch. The fright
was occasioned ty her observing some
thing in her bed which had the appear
ance of an animal, and in an instant
her pitiful wails and screams were heard
over the wh.ola town, calling for help.
Parties went to her; assistance and on
investigation it was found to be nothing
lint the tail of a defunct deer, which
had been placed there by some one as
an April fool.
George II. Shambrook Esq., a young
man of considerable notoriety in busi
ness circlcsa and .vho has been em
ployed by the railroad company as time
keeper for several months, has com
menced to study medicine under the
guidance of his brother, Dr. J. C.
Shambrook. Success will follow his
untiring efforts and his name will yet
be written on the roll of honor and
fame.
We understand that" rich discoveries
have been made near this plaee of valu

ties making the reported discovery are

authentic statement, but we notice that
several parties have been moving in the
direction of the mining district, loaded
down with provisions and mining im

something in the win 1.

Work of the W. 0- T. IT-
Attention is j just now called to the
Women's Christian Temperanco Union by
the announcement that one of its leading and
most earnest members :s soon to address the
citizens of our city in its behalf.
It has long seemed to the writer that this
organization should receive the assistance
and encouragement of every lover of the
cause of temperance and prohibition. Iu the
lirst place, it is eminently conservative, non
sectarian and organized upon the broadest
humanitarian principles. While its name
would seem to indicate that membership in
a church is required wf candidates for admis
sion, we believe such is not the case and that
any one who wishes to become identified
tnerewith may do so by the payment of the
initiation fee and subscribing to the constitu
tion. Its objects are various." It aims not
only to reform the drunkard and pave the
way for prohibition, but it strives to im
prove its own membership in every couceiv.
able way. Formerly it was the custom for
the women of the Uuited States to organize
sewing and mite societies and work for the
heathen of foieigu lands, but now these good
Samaritans are striving to reach the heathen
of our own land, realizing the truth of tho
old saying "charity commences at home,"
and they are doing a grand work and one
which commends itse'f to every lover of the
human race.
This society ha3 organized throughout
Europe and the United States and numbers
among ita membership a vast army of the
most intelligent women iu the wojld, who
have taken for their rallying cry For God
and Home and Native Land. If they shall
do no more than to lift society out of the old
rut of indifference upon this question, they
will have accomplished much. But they are
doing more, j They are educating the rising
generation and the children are taught the

Thursday last, the littl-t intant daughter
of Charles aud Delia Had ley.
We deeply sympathize with the young
parents. Sadly can they repeat the beauti
ful melancholy sentiments of the gifted poet
Poe: .
God smiled and it was morning
Matchless and supreme.
Heaven's glory seemed adorning
Earth with its esteem.
Every heart but ours seem gifted
With the voice of prayer and lifted
Where our little darling drifted
From us like a dream.

Miss Hay's school exhibition on Thursday ,
evening, was well patronized. The exhibi
tion by tlie little folks was splendid. It is
difficult to give preference to any of tbe..
scholars, they all perfcrmed so well. The di
alogue, "Eight O'clock," ly Lucy Btanton
and Mabel Jlftgan, deserves special mention,
as it was spoken by these little girls under a
great disadvantage, owing to the. offensivti :
smoke from the burnt powder. They acted
their piece out to childlike perfection, and
made a happy hit on some of the cross old-
maid aunties. Th mingling in of grown
folks with the school children unnecessarily
prolonged the entertainment, and the affecta
tion of some of them suffered when compared
with the natural simplicity with which some
of the .younger scholars acted their pieces.

Eldorado-
Caily bedight, a gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old, this knight so bold,
Aud o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And as his strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.
"Shrxlow,"' said he, "where can it be,
This spring of Eldorado?"
Quoth the shadow: "For the benefit of
suffering humanity I will state tiret the El
ilorado spring is situated three miles west
Mrom Bosegurg, and a supply of the water is-
kept constantly on hand and for sale by B-r
S. Hamilton, agent, llostburg, Oregon."
Mr. Gko. W. Jones. Dear Sir: I have been
troubled with neuralgic pains in my h-iad and cheek
bones, for several years, and had give up- all hopes of
ever getting cured. 1 went to your medical spring
with my son James and got some of the water, and
drank it fsuely and found that it was a mild physic
1 used it three times a day for a little more than two
months, and the pain-t left me and I have not felt
them since, and that has been 17 months ago.

Gko. W. Jonks. Dear Sir: I would here state to.,
you that a year ago 1 suffered untold agonies on ac
count of pile3 (blind) and went to Portland to get re-,
lief from doctors there. I met Mr. Apple of Hose
burg, who advised me before seeing the doctors to
try your Eldorado Mineral Water. I did so and had
one dozen bottles sent to me by A. E.Champagne.
I used one-half dozen bottles, taking right before ev
ery meal, one small glass full. I not only was re
lieved, but I am certainly cured by what I used, and
thankful for it, because I suffeted more than lean,
express. I would advise any one suffering from this
disease to try your Mineral Water. Should you,
have any occasion to use thia statement do so. You
are at liberty on my account. I think this is tho
least I can do for you, as I was cured by it. Re
spectfully yours, , JULIAN JOSEi'lr,
BOSEBURG, Dec. 3, 18S3.
GEO. W.JONES: Dear Sir. From sheer curiosity
I was induced to try Eldorado Water and wag not on
ly surprised but highly gratifle J with the result. I
have for many years been a sufferer from dyspepsia
and have tried every kind of epsin known to.
pharmacy and without result. The contrary was my
exiwrience from the use of your mineral water. Ta
ken according to directions it produced immediate
relief and iu a short time, if "ontinued, would secure
permanent cure. To any who will avoid irritating
stimulants, 1 am satutied it will prove of valuable
comfort and benefit. As a general regulator I found
it most excellent. L. r. LANE.
