City Imrtrovemeats-
In looking at the growing prosperity of
Roseburg we took oar usual wait around the
city this week and were gratified at the re
sult of our observation.
West of the depot, dwellings are springing
p in good style. The hotel building of Mr.
Gottsell is really a compliment to the city.
tis a fine structure and will, before the 4th
of July, be ready for tbe reception of guests.
ts bedding room will accommodate sixty
persons and the tabla will certainly be well
supplied. We cannot but in justice say that
he contractors who we familiarly call Mitch
nd Frank are excellent carpenters. Whilst
we do not discriminate we can safely say
they are amply capable of doing good work.
The building being erected by Clay Sjo-
cum will be an ornament to the city and is
in rapid progress of completion.
Champagne's building, except some inter
nal furnishing, is completed.
We visited the foundry and found a large
orce of men at work and even our good
friends Bunnell and Frazier were too busy
to talk and that of course puzzles a reporter.
We hope they will continue to be thus busy.
The bridge will soon start up. The cast
ings are almost ready and the lumber will
shortly be on the ground.
The city board is doing good work in the
way of cleansing the city and guarding the
general health.
Roseburg is not dead and is not ready to
die yet.
This is from the Plaindealer of last week
and we regret is iu fuh comport with its
enomous spirit: "Voters should remember
that G. A, Taylor the Republican candidate
for sheriff, is capable, honest and industri
ous; a man who can tru;y be styled sen-
made. No one can truthfully deny his su
periority in point of ability, over the Demo"
cratic nominee." The man who wrote that
article is a what-vou-mav-calHt. There
is not in Douglas county a man who has re
sided here a year but fully knews Burb
Brockway's high qualifications for the ffic
of sheriff. He has proven this by honest per
formance of duty. If the Piaindcaler had a
few more issues our good little friend would
be beatea by five hundred majority. S'eet,
dear, darling cotemporary, keep on doing it.
The more friends you bring us the more we
ike you.
One Word.
The principles taught by Jefferson should
be pe petuated, especially as to freedom of
conscience and speech. The former we have
juiet aud easy, which is above all earthly
dignities, and the latter we will endeavor to
exercise, no matter the consequences. The
Plaindealer of last week warned its readers
against what the editor termed the lies of
our present i?sue. So far we have told no
lie, nor do we intend to. .Our conscience is
still easy and therefore we feel at liberty to
say a quieting word to our cotemporary.
Why this unjust insinuation? Is it not the
old cry of "stop, thief?" Has not that paper
in reserve some mean, little lie to tell at a
moment when we have no opportunity to re
fute it? Wc hope not, but feel at liberty to
follow the example and warn ur readers to
heed not what the Plaindealer may say in
this issue. It may be fair, but since it wan
tonly accused us of something we were never
guilty of, we must be a litt?e suspicious.
Habitcal Co.kstipatios. Is a prolific
source of misery aud many ills, giving ns to
headache, dullness, fevers, nervousness,
restlessness, biiliousucss, indigestion, poison
ing of the blood, ttc. The bitter, nauseous
liver medicines, pills, salts and draughts
formerly used to relieve the sufferer, only
aggravate the disease and sicken the stom
ach. All who are afflicted in that way,
know the importance of a remedy pleasant
to the palate, harmless in its nature, aud
truly beneficial iu its action. The trial bot
tles of Syrup of Figs iven away free of
charge by our enterprising druggists, S
Hamilton of Roseburg, and Page & Dim
rnick of Oakland, prove that it is all that can
be desired. Large bottles fifty cents and
one dollar.
A Lie. We regret to say that our
correspondent of Calapooia items in
last issue has really offended against
our general confidence. Thinking lit
tle news matters from precincts where
there are no immediate organs, might
prove of interest to their neighbors, we
have given license to their communica
tions. In the last from Calapooia we
must realize the fact we were too in
dulgent. We are, still unable to give
his name, but are exactly advised that
the mention of the name of Lilly Stat
us being married to John Shook was
not ouly false but in fact malicious.
The reference to George Stephens was
also untrue. Hereafter we want the
name of author and invite truthful cor
respondence. If we knew the author
referred to he would receive, most
freely, graciously and gratuitously, a
puff at our hands.
TiAXDS. The many enquiries made
at this office for infoimauon concern
ing lands for sale in this county, causes
us to suspect that there may be worse
places in the world than southern Ore
gon. Messrs. Campbell k Walsh re
cently established an agency at this
place and have secured quite a number
of settlers and their office is daily vis
ited by applicants to purchase. We
did understand that Mr. Benson had
establ'shed an office for the transaction
cf such business, but as the advertising
columns of the Independent show an
absence of that fact, we are personally
not well advised. We cannot, in most
cases, impart adequate information and
hence refer to Campbell Ji Walsh.
Bad Roads. Last week while Mrs.
J. M. Arlington was on a visit to
Looking Glass from Happy valley, the
team took fright at a drift log which
had lain since the last winter freshets
in the road, and threw her out of tbe
buggy, spraining her wrist, but luckily
noc producing serious injury. This is
a warning; let supervisors keep an eye
out.
Just So! WILED E ITEMS. The Whistler. IfPWiWl V (
There is an old tale w read long.
lonjr aco. It went somewhat in this
wise: Twelve men had been accused of
larceny, one of whom it was certain
was guilty. It was adjudged that they
should each touch with their right fia-
Hiua vallev.
It was understood that the one whoso l"
fingers were unstained by contact with'j
this black substance should be deemed
innocent. ; The procession then began i
and upon examination it was found
that eleven hands wei claik and one
was ctaan and without stain. It is un
necessary to say that the latter was de
clared to be the thief uid punished ac
cordingly. So it will be iu the coming
election. There will be many sus
pected of giving and taking money for
votes and we have already coated the
walls of the penitentiary with ordinary
lampblack and all who are afraid to
touch the same may readily lind. out
that they will remain within said walls.
There are lawyers in lloseburg who in
tend to be on guard and one is of the
editorial staff of this paper, who cheer

and don't forget it.
Died. Mrs. Edward Davis died in
Olalla on the morning of the 27th inst.
fiem the results of apoplectic convul
sion. She had been approaching moth
erhood during the early -night of Mon
day and when the physician arrived
was found in convulsions. Nervines
were administered, which -quieted her
to a certain degree and the little child
was properly delivered. She lingered
from that hour until about 4 o'clock,
when death ensued. It 'seems that sub.
sequently there was evidence of h,
which we regret to say was not true.
It seemed to have been the slugglish
return of deal blood to its cells. The
little child born was a girl and is still
alive. The deceased was about nine-
tern vears of age and was esteemed bv
all who knew her.
Justice has its foundation in lower
courts. 1 his should be unuerstccd by
the voters next Monday. The office of
justice of the'peace is an important one
and good men should be selected for
that position. Roseburg for the last
year has been compelled, in many in
stances, to resort to its recorder, the
resident justice being absent and Ray
mond lives too far away tor any use.
Now then, let the citizens of Deer
creek precinct select efficient men for
that placa. The same indeed, may be
given to all the county. .A wise justice
prevents litigation, but subserves the
ends cf justice.
Mass Meeting-
The people of southern Oregon
should remember the mass meeting to
be held at the court house to-day (Sat
urday) at one o'clock p. M. Tha ob
ject of the meeting is to organize a socie
ty to fu.ther develop our agricultural
interests and improve our stock, horses,
catide and sheep. There is a good fu
ture for this portion of Oregon and it
only requires some attention and a lit
tle money to accelerate tho appioach of
the good times coming. The design
and plan are entirely practicable aud
therefore let those interested attend and
exchange suggestions forwarding this
most worthy enterprise. Persons from
other southern counties, except Doug
las, be sure to attend and bv their at-
9
tendance and advice render good en
couragement Watch. Scratching!
By all means avoid swapping on tick
ets next Monday. Every man has a
perfect right t vote for whom he
pleases, but he is not honorable if he
makes his vote conditional that some
body else should vote for a man that is
not on his own ticket. TL is' exchange
ef courtesies comes near-reaching moral
turpitude. If any man on the Demo
cratic ticket is offensive to the voter,
then erase his name, but Iri all con
science do not vote for his antagonist.
Do not bite j our nose off to spite your
face; in othr words, do not cast aside
a principle to gratify malice. This idea
of exchange of votes arises from over
zeal or revenge. Neither spirit is
right. In this connection -t is only
proper that attention should be given
Oakland, Roseburg and Myrtle Creek.
The scratching parties must ' and will
be watched. Nine times out of ten
they are office-seekers and they must-
understand that if-they ever get any
office they must do more scratching than
iheit cuticle can stand. We have our
guards on hand and the names of this
contemptible class will be recorded in
our memory.

Eldorado-
G;i".Iy bedight, a gallant knight,
In suushiue and iu shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he graw old, this knight so bol J,
And o'er his heart a shadow
Pull js he found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And as his strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.
"Sfyrydow," said he, "where can it be,
This spring of Eldorado?"
Quoth the shadow: - "For the benefit a
suffering humanity I will state thvt the El
dorado eprin is situated tl ree miles west
from Kosegurg, and a supply of the water is
kept constantly ou hand and for oale by Dr.
S. Hamilton, agent, Roseburg, Oregon."
Mr. Geo. W. Joxbs . Dear Sir: I have been
troubled with neur.ilg-ic pains in my h?ad and check
bones, for several years, and had give up all hopes of
ever getting cured. I went, to your medical sprint's
with my son Jimies and yot some of the water, and
drank it frucly and found tint it was a mild physic
1 used it three 'imcs a day for a little more than two
months, and the paiut left mo and I have not felt
thciu biiue, and thit has been 17 months a,'o.

Geo. V. Jon'ks. Uear Sir: I would here state to
you that a year ago 1 suffered untold agonies on ac
count of piles (blind) and went to Portland to jfCt re
lief from doetors there. I met Mr. Apple of Kose
burg, who advUed me before seeing the doctors to
try your Eldorado Mineral Water. I did so and had
one dozen bottles sent to mo by A. E. Champagne.
1 used one-halt dozen itottlcs, taking right before ev
ery inca.1, one small glass full. I wt only was re
lieved, but 1 am certainly cured by what I used, and
thankful for it, because I Buffeted more than I can
express. I would advise any one suffering from this
uu-case to try your Mineral Water. Should you
have any occasion to use this statement do so. .You
are at liberty on inv account. I think this is the
least I can do for you, a 1 was cured bv it. Re
spectfully yours, JULIAS JOSEPH.
ROSEBURO, 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 gratifle I with the result. I
have for many years been a sufferer from dyspeiwia
and have tried "every kind of epsin known to
pharmacy and without result. The contrary was my
experience from the ute of your mineral water. Ta
ken according to directions it produced unnieoiaie
relief and in a short time, if rontinued, would secure
permanent cure. To any who will avoid irritating
stimulants, I am satisfied it will prove of v.-.luable
comfort and benefit. As a general regulator I found
it most excellent. L. . LAb.
