Last Sunday the genial gentlemen of the
Yankee Doodle band would have given our
appreciative citizens a real treat had not the
rain prevailed, i Early the sunbeams van

it rains too much . any Democrat ought to

Louis WennerJ who was formerly carver at
the butcher shop of L. McGregdr of this citv,
died at the residence of Wm. Vincent, near
this place, Jastj Wednesday evening. He
was engaged milking: when he was seized
with an epileptitf fit, fell forward and in a
few minutes expired. An effort was made
to secure a coroner's jury, but no proper
officer was obtainable. Mr. Wenner was of
Dutch parentage and a native of Pennsylva
nia. He was about 33 years old. He was a
harmless, kind faiaa aud well liked by those
who knew him.
Rev. Mother Superior and Sister Mary
Margaret of the Holy Names, were in our
city this week, the guests of Mrs. L. F.
Lane. They resumed their journey to tLe
school at Jacksonville Thursday evening.
We wish them a pleasant trip. It is cer
tainly to be hoped that Roseburg may yet
have a Sister's school.
The circus tand arrived in Roseburg Tues
day evening and were met at the depot by
the Yankee Doodle band, whose music re
flected much credit upon their brief practice
and experience. The courtesy extended was
cordially appreciated ly the circus Orpheans.
Truly, music has charms to sooth the savage
breast, for we saw a benignant smile upon
the countenance of the Plaindealer localizer
and withwhile he imagined himself marching
in the Mulligan guards.
Upen the evening ef the arrival of the
circus band a very pleasant scene transpired
in Marks' hall. The band met in that hall
and after discoursing sweet music John
Chase of the Yankee Doodle bznd and on be
half of the same, in a neat little speech,
presented Harry Goine, ring manager of the
circus, a "nonograin golden charm and a
beautiful ring. Harry accepted with assur
ances of appreciation. This was a well mer
ited compliment.
There was a land slide at the south en
trance to tunnel No. 6, about six miles north
of Glendale, last Monday night. It has
proved quite an annoyance to the railroad
company, whose employees are doinj their
best to remove the obstruction. The ap
proaches to this tunnel are quite high and
steep and the work of removing the dirt
seems somewhat like the Augean stable job,
as fast as the debris is thrown out more
comes down. The passenger train was
three hours late on Tuesday and one hour
behind on Wedntsday morning at this place
The transfer from one train to the other is
of course, sufficiently inconvenient to travel.
However, the workmen ari indefatigable in
their efforts and no doubt in a short time
they will have the track clear again. '
WHEAT PEOSPLOTS.
The following gloomy view of the What
outlook we clip from the Portland Standard
of Tuesday. It will be of interest to farmers
and millers: ; While receipts from the val
ley and eastern section are quite large, bus
iness is reduced to millers. Millers are
offering CI. 47, and havo been for ten days.
The break in the Chicago markets is indica
te of a probability that the wheat now oh
hand throughout the United States will at
last be marketed and reach the consumer
The competition of India with us has been
rendered more keen by the reduction of rates
ou ner railroads so muen 60 tnat not mure
than 4 3-5 per ceut is paid en them. The
state of the market at present is due to
large crops in 1S83, underestimated all over
the world, held back for higher prices, and
now thrown on the markets of the world
There is now 55 J, 000 more quarters of wheat
in London than a year ago, and sti'l it keeps
pouring iu, which leads the London Standard
to exclaim that the wheat trade is overdone
There is a large amount of wheat going east
towards shipping points, Australia has ha:
a large surplus, India also, whi'e Russia has
had a large portion of her stock left. It is
predicted that prices will be lower than for
many a year pa&t: and in Liverpool the mar
ket is the lowest it has been iu many years,
and but that charters here are so low, the
market would be much under preaeut rates.
Most of the factors in the situation continue
to indicate low prices. The visille supply
in tne United states on March loth was
39, 526, G50 bushels, or 6,289,731 larger than
a year ago, and 16,810,736 larger than on
March 18, 1882. The expoits from British
Iudia ia 1833 were 31,050,950 bushels.
against 24,239, 7K bushels in 1SS2, showing
that the supply from this source is rapidly
increasing. The crops of the world all look
well, and if nothing untold occurs, wheat
and bread will be cheap for another year
The School and Saloon. Between the
public schools and the saloon there is a con
lliet as irrepressible as that which made the
first three quarters of this century historica
in politics. The saloon does al! in its power
to unteach what the schools endeavor to
teach. The school teaches the children to
be prompt, punctual, efficient; the saloon
teaches them to dawdle and loaf, and takes
all the snap out of them. The school urges
them to be industrious; the saloon trains
them to be shiftless and thriftless. Th
school wtuld inspire them with reverence for
law; the saloon trains them to trample upon
all law, human and divine. The school in
culcates the principles of true citizenship
the saloon inculcates the lowest demagog
isru. iue school teaches tiiem love to man
and love to God; the sal eon teaches them to
despise the one and hate the other. Mary

Tha "W. H. Harris Hew Shows!
There is probably no nun living to-day who has
had better success, or made more friends, or won
more laurels iu the show business than W. H. liar
lis, who is a thorough reiitlcmau and a showman
worthy of the name, and is known wliarever the
Xk'kol Plate has shown as a man of integrity, sobri
ety, honesty, and indomitable perseveramre. This
enviable reputation Mr. Harris h.w gained by dealing
fairly with his jiatroiis, the public, by fulfilling his
every promise and by constant and hard brain and
hand work It has ever been his aim to better his
profession and his labors hae been highly successful.
In the organization of the Nickel Plate circus Mr.
Harris has embodied all of worth that he has rained
from experience of years. He has built a new show
after his own plans and ideas and from new material.
He has built a circus for the jcople, has enjra-jed the
fcest talent of the country, and Mill introduce fea
tures that will be new, novel, and pleasing, araou;
which may be mentioned are Dora, the Feejee Island
cannibal, only ona in America; "tiypsy,", the only
umbrella-eared elephant, w.th the largest ears of
bora brutes; the largest and most savage den of lions.
The only male and female Samson oa the continent,
pnlliujr against elephants and homes, etc., etc. W,
H. Harris' New Nickel Plate shows will exhibit at
Roseburj, Oregon, daturday, May 3d, 18S4.
Gov Moody has pardoned J. K.
Mercer, who was sentenced for fifteen
years for the killing of McDonald, at
Portland. He hd served live years.
Our readers will recollect that the mur
der was caused by a severe newspaper
! rivalry befcweeu the Telegram and old
Portland Bee. There was a lack of
malice and Mreer acts as though his
punishment had improved him.
County Convention on the 7tu iast.
An Indignant Stalwart-
Tlid following extract from the
Northwest News, the stalwart organ of
Portland, shows the harmony prevail
ing among the jrethren; j
" The county convention on Satur
day last was an epoch in the history of
the Republican party of Multnomah
countv. It marked the tvansfet of the
- i
control of the party in this county from
Mitchell to Harvey Scott and the Ore
gonian. crowd. We mean rather, the
control of the party machinery, for the
people of the party cannot be traded off
like sheep in the shambles, as the Re
publican representatives were bar-
gamed away to J. N. Dolph in the last
sgislaHire. A glance at the proceed
ings of the convention and at th p.om-
nation, 'as well as at the delegation to
ie state convention, will bevsufficient
to satisfy every intelligent observer of
the fact that the machinery has been
ransferred to the neV bosses. If more
proof were needed, it is to be found in
the shrewd and careful endorsement of
the action of the convention in v ester
day's Oregonian, and the putting of
arrffeh, Harvey's old pal of 1872, into
control of the police department be
sides many other things. Mitchell has
been eliminated trom politics, the
greement is complete, bat the goods
cannot be delivered. This new depart
ure in the political control of It is coun
ty will break up old political alliances
and tha result may bo to change the
political result in this county at least
;;ext June. The old, true stalwart
iepublicans will never consent to bo
ed by Harvey Scott and the Oreenian
crowd, but will zealously set themselves
at work to administer a rebuke to the
perfidious act by which they hav.e been
sold away to the clique whom they hate
aud despise. Already e hear eager
expressions of hope that the Democrats
will put up a first-class ticket in order
that a rebuke may be administered to
those who have betrayed toe true Re
publicans into the hand cf their foe.
They will not exchange the agreeable
genius of Mitchell for the dull, stub
born, overbearing and vindictive boss-
ism of Harvey Scott. Mitchell had
his faults, but he was kind and sympa
thetic and always ready to lend a help-
iu" hand to those who sour? lit his aid.
Ha was generous and liberal, and nev-
er, witu ail uis power, assumed u'ctato
rial airs. He was the idol of the peo
ple and all of the errors of his career
could not fchake the great asceudancy
over the common people of this county
which has so long been the key to Re
publican success. Scott is bigoted,
narrow and revengeful, and looks with
scorn upon the file of the party, who
repay the feeling with interest. With
this condition of affairs a political rev
olution in this county may be expected
in Jane, although in JNovember, it the
June rebuke shall be effectual, the most
of the true Republicans may come
back. The party will not consent to
be turned over to a clique of old stiffs,
money sharks, woman suffragists and
cranks. The efJVct of Saturday's con
vention may give the Democrats the
future control of Multnomah county.

Sudden Death!
Mand, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
W. Wbitsett, died from croup, at her
parents' home on south Deer creek, last
Friday night the 25th, aged 7 years,
3 months and 27 days. She was buried
on Sunday, lie v. Y. A, Willis coa
ducting the services. The words of
Christ were: "Suffer little children to
come unto me," and when little Maud
was called to join the heavenly hosts
the fairest and brightest flower wa3
plucked from earth to bloom eternal in
tho kingdom of rest. How deep and
consoling are the words of our Saviour;
and when the mandate of his word goes
forth we can but bow our beads in grief
and love, and say "Thy will, not ours,
be done;" and pledge ourselves to so
live in the future as to meet our loved
ones in the beautiful haven where peace
reigns eternal.
Destructive Fire!
Quito a large conflagration visited
Glendale this week. The firo broke
out at about four o'clock on the morn
ing of Tuesday. It originated in the
Palace hotel, consuming it with its
contents, and also the saloon buildhig
of Robert McCulloch, with iU contents,
and also the California house. The
Palace hotel wjs the property of Abra
ham, Wheeler k Co. of this city. Loss,
live thousand dollars; insurance, two
thousand dollars. McCulloch was in
sured for two thousand dollars. The
California, we think, was the property
of one 31 r. Norton and is a total loss.
The fine mercantile establishment mi
raculously escaped destruction, as it
was only partially injure!. Origin of
the fire unknown, whether the act of
an incendiary or an accident. An ad
juster may have occasion to investigate
this latter matter.
Just a3 we goto press "we
learn that
one BrUtow has boon arrested at Grant's
Pass for robbing the stage in January.
Stallion Show!
The stallion show last Saturday was
an enjoyable affair to those who are
fond of tine blooded stock. Almost
every grade of stock was represented
from the 'smallest to the largest. Ser
enteen horses were entered as followed:

Last but not least in importance was
'Gold Drop," B. F. Ramp's fine Jersey
bull.
Seventeen stallions entered and all of
rood stock aud anv one could select a
good horse to breed to from this list.
All the horses showed care and at
tention and the display was the best of
the kind ever made in the country.
We did not attend the exhibition of
the stallions and many had left town
before we bad aa opportunity to see
them. For the foregoing we are in-
debted to the courtesy of our cotempo-
rarv's local. We were well pleased
with iIiaca on, snw. Wfl fnn mn.ko no
invidious distinction, but in passing
mitrht observe that Mr. Renuick has a
7
very good animal.
Steve Minard' young "Mike" is a
splendid fellow. He is young and will
develop finely
The Snlfok Punch owned by Mr.
Bates, is perhaps, for solid, efficient
uruii purposes, as gooa a uorse as tuere
is in Oregon. He is now in his zenith.
His seasons in Eugene have been very
satisfactory and here he has all he will
be permitted to render.
Taking H all in ail the show was a
4
decided success and Ed Sheiidan is en
titled to credit for suggesting and work-
mg it up.
We carefully read the panegyric of
a column's length in Sunday's Standard
regarding Justice Field. We expected
to find at the bottom a statement that
the Jndge had been cured by St. Ja-
cob's eil. If the Judge's literary bu-
- v m
roau cap do no better he should at once
go into the patent medicine ; business.
Eldorado. Resolved, that we, the
Republican party in convention assem
bled, do most earnestly recommend that
tho candidates just nominated use
Jones' mineral water exclusively as a
beverage, during the ensuing
J O W
canvass. The foregoing resolution, was
crowded out of our columns last issue,
It was unanimously adopted and Clearly
.' .
indicates that there is some little sense
left among Kepublicans. Une cam
paign with Buch a beverage will purify
their physical and may be improve
their moral system.
The New York Times feels sore in
several parts of its anatomy, I over the
Blaine prospect, and sets up a howl for
a "strong man." Why not put up
Dorseyl He has a record, made in the
interest of the Republican party, that
smells loud enough. He has used a
good deal of "soap," but it don't cleanse
him.
The interior press of California has
become alarmed over the possibility if
not the probability of a yellow fever
epidemic. All the conditions of climate
etc. favor the spread of the fever, once
it ?ets a footing in California If in

ried to Oregon. ,i

mento and sevo ral towns in Ohio and
TlliAois. with, a successful move, inter
dicting the exposure and sale in that
city of those abominable pictorial papers
which lionize and heroize, the slum
gullions of society, both male and

more thanall other agencies combined,
to degrade the morals of our, youth..

Our temperance lecture delivered hero last
Tuesday was well attended. However, no

Eldorado-
Gaily bedight, a gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing a song,
Ia search of Eldorado.
But he grew old, this knight so bold,
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he fouud no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorade.
And as his strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.
"Shadow," said he, "where can it ie,
This spring of Eldorado?'1
Quoth the shadow:, "For tho benefit ef
suffering humanity I will state tht the El
dorado spring is situated three miles west
from Eosegurg, and a supply of tho water ia
kept constantly on hand and for sale by Dr
S. Hamilton, agent, Roseburg, Oregon."
Mb. Geo. W". Josss. Pear Sir: I have been
troubled with neuralgic pains in niy head aud cheek
bones, for t.everal ye:irs, and had give up all hopes of
ever getting cured. I went to your medical springe
with my son James aud got some of the water, end
drank it freely and found that it was a mild physic.
1 used it three limes a day for a little more than two
months, and the .in left me and I have not felt '
them since, and that has been 17 months ao. k

Julian Joseph, of the well ki own firm of Hoffniaw
and Joseph, of Albany, hears the following1 testi
mony: A LB AN Y, OGN., December 20, 18S3.
Geo. W. Josks. Dear Sir: I would here state to
you that a year ago I suffered untold agonies on ac
count of piles (blind) and went to Portland to jet re
lief from doctors there. I met Mr. Apple of Ktwe
burjr, who advit-ed nie before seeing the doctors to
try your Eldorado Mineral Water. 1 did bo 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 wae re
lieved, but 1 am certainly cured by what I used, and
thankful for it, because I sufieted more than I can
express. 1 would advise any one gunenng irom tan
disease to try your Mineral Water. Should you
have anjr occasion to use this statement do eo. You.
are at liberty on my account. 1 think this is the
least I can do for you, as I was cured by It. R
spectfully yours, JULIAN JOSEP IL
ROSEBURO, Dec. 3,1883.
GEO. W. JONES: Dear Sir. From sheer curiosity
I was induced to try Eldorado Water and was not on
ly surprised but highly gratiflei with the result. I
have for many ytwrs been a sufferer from dyspepsia
and have tried every kind of pepsin Known to
pharmacy and without result. The contrary was my
experience from the use of your mineral water. Ta
ken according ti directions it produced immediate-
relief and in a short time, if 'ontinued, would secure
permaneutcure. To any who will avoid irritating
stimulants, I am satisfied it will prove oi valuable
comfort and benefit. As a general regulator I found
it most excellent. L. F. LANE.
DALLAS, Dee.' 2, 1883.
From Mr. M. W. Parsons, last August, 1 received
one bottle of the Jones Eldorado water, from Dr.
Hamilton cf Roseburg. Used half a bottle for ca
tarrh and can fully recommend it for that dreaded
diHease, as I have not been troubled with the com
plaint since. D. T. SEARS.
I have also used the Eldorado spring water from
Jones' spring, Douglas county, Oregon, and am fully
satisfied with the result, as I wa bothered with ca
tarrh, w. c. HKUViH, merchant.
