An unknown Celestial was found defunct

involved in mystery. Enquiry may develop
Eomething that perhaps should be known.
The main plank of the Republican party of
this couuty favoring Jonej' mineral water, is
working to a chartn. The candidates look
a little pale, but their systems are becoming

Center Bend reports that Mrs, Bina Ben
son has returned from California upon a short
sojourn with her many friends. She seems
dclignted with our good old country and we
would Lke if she could remain always pro
vided, we a'l did. Mr.;E. If. Pia'ston's new
residence is in the course of ceustruction.
Wonder how we buckskin-glove people will
he received at the house-warming. Every
thing good, true Democracy not behind.
Upon examination of court proceedings it
will be found that there are very few fore,
closure suits. This argues well for our farm
ers. We remember the dark years of '61
and '(2, when threat interests went down be
neath the weight of such incumbrances. The
people who obtained these benefits antago
nize bridges and other valuable improve
ments, claim that the county is impoverish
ed, set aside five dollars an acre as assess
ment upon their lauds and then refuse to an
eager purchaser the cash sum of twenty dol
lars per acre.
The following we publish with regret: A
shooting scrape occurred at Smith river last
Saturday, in which three men were more or
less injured, as follows: Z. Haines, Samuel
Wilton and William Beam. The affaii took
place in the store of D. f Iaight at that place.
Mr. Haines was shot by a brother of Beam.
Mr. Winton was shot by said Beam, and
Beam was shot by Winton. "Haiues was not
expected to live at last accounts. The other
two were not seriously hurt The Beam
brothers were both aggressors and both are
under arrest.
Aloe. McCurdy has fitted up his saloon in
tine order. His billiard table is a good one
and those who enjoy this anti-card game
should test if-. We do not desire to encour
age the saloon business, but can say if we
are to have any at all they should be the
best. The gentlemen who are engaged
herein are really men. There never has
been a robbery in any saloon in this town
and with the presc.it proprietors there never
will be. Sometimes .we regret that there
should lie any place for such traffic, but vre
are somewhat of a general free trader. So
long as the boys are kept away from these
places we have nothing to say and as soon as
we observe a violation of this law we shall
resort to an adequate remedy. Keep the
boys out of saloon3 and let the men take
care of themselves, i
The following sneering article appeared ia
the Oregonian of the 25th inst.: "Now that
the voting day of the year is close at baud,
the foreign born male individuals who are in
our midst hasten to furnish the necessary
proof which shall enable them to have equal
rights with all other citizens of the United
States. Three such aliens were admitted to
full citizenship yesterday, one in the county
court and two in the State circuit court." It
would seem from this notice that foreigners
are only desirous to become citizens 111 order
to become voters at a political election. This
is most unjust and iu the name of the Dem
ocratic party we protest against this erne'
insinuation. However that is quite unnec
essary. Every intelligent foreigner knows
that the Democratic party is his friend. It
was Jefferson who best asserted the rights of
man aad he waa the' founder of the Demo
cratic party. We guarantee the liberty of
religion and conscience.

Texa3 Correspondence-
IIuntsville, Tex., May 7, 1884.
Mr. Editor: It has been some time
since I last wrote your interesting jour
nal. Your many readers weulil doubt
less like to see something on the vast
State of Texas. In area this is the
largest State in the Union and in the
near future will contain the greatest1
nuuvber of people. Its soil is diversi
fied, as well as its climate. Western
and inidJle Texas contain vast plains
of fertile soil. Its inhabitants, outside
of the towns and cities, are either in
tLo stock business cr in asricullural
pursuits. The soil is inexhaustible in
the broad prairies. Some have farms
that have been cultivated for more than
thirty years and the yield is as good,
or better, now than it was at the com
mencement. There ate many men here noted for
their wealth in cattle and horses. A
man worth fifty or sixty thousand dol
lars is considered a very small potato
among the cattle kings. Fence-cutting
was very common a . few mouths
since, but now .he nippers have been
laid asmle and wholsome laws are en
forced. Many places that were mere
.villages tiv or six years ago, are now
thriving cities. Fovt Worth, seven
years ago was a small town of five or
six hundred peopl s, now claims a pop
ulation of 25,000. Dallas, a short
time since was a small country town,
to-day she claims a population of
27,000. Likewise many other thrifty
cities all over this vast Stats.
The eastern portion of the State is
principally weoJ-land and the people
are employed chiefly in farming. The
water is very inferior, as a eneial
rule, all over the State. Those who
are able use cistern water, which is al
ways pure and healthy.
Eastern Texas is the best poor man's
country in the United States. If a
man gets here without anything he can
go right to work at good wages upon
the farm, or if he wishes to rent land
he is furnished the necessary supplies
for making the crop and then gets half
the proceeds. Many people who came
here five or six years ago without any
thing to stai t on, save energy and econ
omy, are now in splendid circumstances.
Th climate during the winter is very
mild, compared with that ef the north
ern and western States.
The public school system is being
gradually, worked up to a fine basis.
In a few years every child in Texas
will bo educated handsomely at the
public school.
IIuntsville is regarded as tho center
of education in this State. It was the
home of Gen. Sam. Houston, whose
fame is co-extensive with the Ameri
can continent. His last resting-place
lis in ths IIuntsville cemeterv. The
Sam. Houston Normal Institute,
located at this place, was established
and named in honor of Gen. Houston-
This is the only normal school in the
State. Its corps of teachers has been
selected from the various States; and
the ability, efficiency and energy of
each teacher ia beyond reproach.

The Popular Approval.
Of the now famous Syrup of Figs as the
most efficacious and agreeable preparation
ever offered to the world as a cure for habit
ual constipation, billionsness, indigestion
and kindred ills, has been won by the wise
plan pursuel by the California Fig Syrup
Company. Knowing that any remedy-truly
beneficial in its effects on tho system, and at
the same time pleasant to the taste, wil
meet with a rapid sale, the company, through
its agent for Boseburg, S. Hamilton; and
Page & Dimmick of Oakland, gives away
sample bottles free of charge. Try it and
jmlge for yoarself. Large bottles fifty cents
or one dollar.
"Road "Work
The road supervisor is ready for work
Mr. Slemmons will endeavor in every rc
spect to do his duty. Mr. McClallan made
an excelleut officer and the present super
visor intends to follow his theory. There is
no use in making patch work when we have
cloth enough to make a good garment. The
road up Deer Creek should not be neglected
and some labor should be extended to tho
main thoroughfare aud that portion of Lane
street given to the county by our city, ought
not t be omitted
Some people are willing to work out their
road tar, but many by reason of thei busi
ness are unable to do so. We confess we are
of the latter class and instead of substituting
some idle and improvident debtor, prefer to
pay our dues directly. All who are so cir
oumstanced as not to be able to work, might
well pay this assessment to the supervisor
and secure some kind of system. All care
ful work upon our roads will amply repay
our investment.
Printer's Picnic-
To members and friends of the craft:
Vou are hereby requested to be pres
ent and take part in the picnic to be
given by the printers of Salem on Fri
day, June C, 1884. Any friends you
may invite will also be made welcome.
It is proposed to make this one of the
occasions never to be forgotten, and
we hope every printer in the State will
be with us. , By order of comtnkteo on

Pannars, Attention!
There will be a meeting of the citi
zens of Douglas county for the piupose
of organizing an agricultural society for
southern Oregon, Saturday 31st of this
month.
We are sure this will be a success-
Douglas county, m its varied interests
and industries, can compete with any
ortion of Oregon. Jackson county
can rival the world in its vine culture
and fine fruits, acclimated to Oregon.
In splendid, stock Lake and Klamath
can make good showing. Josephine
can evidence the hidden wealth of her
bosom. Curry can exhibit the best
quality of wool and Coos can present
coal and lumber of most excellent qual-
y. Let everybody be at the meeting.

The Eailroad Question
A few days ago a bill to forfeit the
unearned portion of the Northern Pa
cific land grant and open these lands up

Among those we observed during the week
were Messrs. Owens, Burnett, Riddle and
Parrott.
Drs. Shambrook aud Little departed on
Monda's train for San Francisco, where they
go to attend a course of lectures at the Coop

their efforts.
The gossips have had a relapse, from all
appearauces, as they have been somewhat
silent during the past few days, but, judj?
ing from the manoeuvers of some of our
young folks, there may be chance for a re
newal of their favorite indu-gence.
There does not ?eem to be much interest
manifested in political matters as yet. And
we feel safe in saying that there will' be but
little respect paid to the nominations of
either party. It seems everybody will vote
for their favorites and while we believe the
best men should hit our offices, yet any esti
mate cannot be well made how the thing will
result.
A son of A. W. Cone, who lives near here,
was accidentally shot by a pistol which he
was carrying in his pocket, Wednesday
evening: about four o'clock. Dr. Harris was
called, but up to the time of writing we are
not informed of the extent ef the injuries.
This is one more addition to the string o
serious injuries that have happened by carry
ing pistols and it seems that it should be a
warning for the guidance of others.
XXX.
Unprotected Girls
No w York Herald.
Another serious defect has been dis
covered in our tariff. The American
girl is not protected in the matrimo
nial market from the quite passable bu
cheaply produced foreign girl, and a
number of American industries lan
guish with her. A few days ago a res
ident of Westchester county, finding
himself in need f a wife, deliberately
went down to Castle Garden to look for
an accaptable mate. It did not hap
pen to be a good day for gnii, but hi
success has since been reported. It
was to be exacted, for many maidens
w ho are comely and good enter the
United States through Castle Garden
aud . aversion to matrimony is net
among their peculiarities. Why did
the suitor turn his back on his own
country, where girls of every desirable
variety are as numer6u3 as politicians.
We do not know but the special advan
tages of the Castle Garden plan are
quite evident. A proposal to a young
woman "caught on the fly," arriving
one day and intending on tho next to
take a train to her family or friends in
the west, involves no preliminary ex
penses in the nature of boquets, bon
bons, theater tickets, buggy rides, ice
cream, and excursions, and tho conse
quGHt wedding does not imply either
cards or cake. Bsudes, to revive a
very old saying, the man who marries
a Castle Garden jrnl does not have to
rjiire a Castle Garden girl to take care
of his wife. With all these odds
against the American girl, it is strange
that the tariff doe3 not protect her.
Why should foreign girls be admitted
free of duty Are they raw material!
Not they! It may be urged that the
tariff is for tho protection of infant in
dustries, of which the American girl is
not one, but it certainly should not be
hard to convince any calm and dispas
sionate mind that she is the- direct pro
duct of one, the continuance of which
is imperatively demanded for posteri
ty's sake. In her fully completed con
dition say. at the age of 20 or 25
years she embodies many more times
expenditure aud effort than the cheap
labor products of European cradles.
The foreign girl should be taken off th e
free list. .Home industries demand it.
Where" is Mr. -Randall?
We are satisfied the girls of Rose
burg are in favor of free trade. They
desire that good-looking young mrn
should be imported free ef duty. Of
the Roseburg bovs they sin": "All
such men s hould be exported far be
yond the northern seas."
A Card from Mr- Chenoweth-
Oakland, May 21, 1884.
Through your columns, I wish to reply to
an article which appeared in last week's issue
of the Plaindealer under the head of "Pre
tended Temperance," and signed X X X.
In 1879 I rented a farm of Fen. Suthciliu
on which is a large vineyard. To avoid a to
tal loss I pressed, with a common cider mil!,
three or four barrels of the pure juice from
the grape, aud ab rat oiie year after I too'i a
sample of the same to Mr. H. Abrahams, who
was then living in this place, to see what he
thought of it. His opinion was that it would
make better vinegar than anything else. Mr.
Abrahams spoke to a saloon-keeper here
about it, and I may have met the same person
on the sidewalk and asked his opinion of it,
although I do not remember that I did so.
The saloon-ketper told either Mr. Abraham
or myself that it was not saleable and that
ended the matter. I wi.l add that at that
time, (four years ago)I did not look upon the
inuor tratno as being so harmful as I now do.
That more than two years ago I refused to
offer this so called iue for sale so'ely on ac
count of the example. Since that time I
have given away wagon loads of grapes
rather than make and oner the wine for sale.
The assertion or intimation that I now do
or ever did, use intoxicating liquor3 as a bev
erage, or for electionmg purposes, either di-
ectly or indirectly, is wholly false. That I
ever gave this wine to anvoneas a beverage
is absolutely nntrue. While I do not claim
to be a perfect man, I am perfectly willing to
have my temperance record compared with
that of any of my opposing candidates.
iours Hespectfuily,
James CiiEsowrrn.

Eldorado-
Gaily bedight, a gallant knight,
lu sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing a song,
Iu search of Eldorado.
Rut he grew old, this knight so bold,
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell ts he found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And as his strength failed him at length
lie met a pilgrim shadow.
"Shrdow," said he, "where can it be,
This spring of Eldorado?"
Quoth the shadow: "For the benefit of
suffering humanity I will state thrt the El
dorado spring is situated three miles west
from Rosegu rg, and a supply of the water is
kept constantly on hand and for ale by Dr.
S. Hamilton, agent, Roseburg, Oregon."
Mit. Ceo. W. JorE3. Dear Sir: I have been
troubled with neuralgic pains in my head and cheek
bones, for several years, and had give up ail hopes of
ever getting- cured. I went to your medical springs
with my son James and got some of the water, and
drank it freely and found that it was a mild phytic.
1 U8od it three times a day for a little more than two
months, and the paim left me and I have not felt
them siuje, aud that has been 17 months a,'.

Ceo. W. Jones. 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 get re
lief from doctors there. I met Mr. Apple of Roso
burg1, who advi.sed nie 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 1 am certainly cured by what 1 used, and
thanVful for it, because I Buffeted more than I can
express. I would advise any one suffering from thi
disease to try your Mineral Water. Should you
have any occasion to use this statement do so. You
are at liberty on my account. 1 think this is the
lesist 1 can do for you, as I waa cured by it. Re
speitfuliy yours, JULIAN JOfEPU.
ROSEBURG, Dec. 3, 1SS3.
GEO. W. JONES: Dear Sir. From sheer curiosity
I was induced to try Eldorado Water and was not on
ly surprised but highly gratiSeJ with th result. I
have for many years been a sufferer from dyspepsia
and hare tried every kind of vepsin known to
pharmacy and without result. The contrary was my
experience from the use of your mineral water. Ta
ken according to directions it produceu immediate
relief and in a short time, if 'oiitinued, would secure
jcrnianeiitcure. To any w ho will avoid irritating
stimulants, I am satihed it will prove of valuable
comfort and benefit. As a general regulator I found
it most excellent. L. V. LANE.
DALLAS, Dee.'2, 1883.
From Mr. if- W. Parsons, last August, I received
one bottle of the Junes Eldoralo water, from Dr.
Hamilton f Roseburg. Used half a bottle for ca
tarrh and can fully recommend it for that dreaded
disease, 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 fuliy
satisfied with the result, as I was boiheied with ca
tan-h. W. C. BROWN, merchant. '
