Chicago Angels
Chicago must be an awfully pious
place. A stranger happened to die
there in 1867. He was one of the
faithful and made application 'to Saint
Pter for entrance through the Golden
Gate. Saint Peter asked where he was
from.
"Chicago!" said the would-be angel.
Chicago!" said Saint Peter: "Chica
go! Never had an applicant from there
before; guess you can't enter"
If some saintly delegate to the con
vention should die while in that city,
how sad it would be for him to be
turned away! Thei is one consolation,
however, there will be very few saints
sent to that convention.
Slight Misapprehension. One
Sunday recently one of the pastors of
the little village of Pownal was walk

his coat off digging in his garden. The

began to recite in a solemn voice:
''Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and
do all thy work "

Obituary Ectice-
It is with regret we have to chroni
cle the death of Mrs. Laura A. Math
ews, daughter of G. J. and E, J. Chap
man, aged 26 years, five months and
some days, which occurred on Mon
day evening, May 19, 18S4, at her
mother'- house, near Mt. Scott.
Mrs. Mathews was a noble, kind,
good woman, dutiful wife, affectionate
mother, and loved by all who could
comprehend the gentleness of her chrtr
actei. - The ilsidious enemy, consump
tion, won the prize that yielded after
long and patient suffering. Whilst
this visit of death was expected, it has
brought sorrow and mourning to many
hearts. The fever is o'er; the stream
of life has l??n compassed and a pure
spirit rests with its Maker.
''Sister, thou art gone to rest:
We will not weep for thee;
For thou art now where oft on earth
Thy spirit longed to be.
Sister, thon art gone to rest; ; .... -Thine
is an ear'-y tomb;
But God hath summoned thee away;
Thy Father ca'Ied thee home."

It is a singular fact that we are in
debted to Pompeii for the great industry
of canning fruit. When the excava
tions were just begun, a party of Cincin
natians found, in what had been the
pantry of a house, jars of tigs. One was
opened, and they were found to be fresh
and good. Investigation, showed that
the tigs had been put into the j.irs in a
heated state, an aperture left for the
f team to escape, and then sealed with
wax. The hint was" taken, and the next
year the canning of fruit was introduced
in the United States, t he process being
identical with that in vogue in Pompeii
tw enty centuries ago.

I have submitted to qualitative analysis the fampl
of Eldorado -water handed me for examination and
find it to consist of the following substances: Colo.

Magnesia, Soda and organic matter.
THOMAS TRICE.
Eldorado-,
Gaily bedight, a gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing a soug,
Iu search of Eldorado.
But ho grew old, this knight so bold,
And 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.
"Shr.dow," said he, "where can it be,
This spring of Eldorado?"
Quoth the shadow: "For the benefit o
sulFering humanity I will state thet the El
dorado sprius 's situated three miles west
from Itosegurg, and a supply of the water is
kept constantly on hand and for sale by Dr.
S. Hamilton, agent, Roseburg, Oregon."
Mr. Geo. W. Jonks. Pear Sir: I have been
troubled with neuralgic pains in my h'sid and cheek
bones, for several years, and had give up nil hopes ft
ever Kotthig cured. I went to your medical springs
with my son James and got sonic of the water, and
drank it freely and found that it was a mild physic,
1 used it three -lines a day f.r a little more than two ;
months, and the pain left me and I have uot felt
them since, and that has been 17 months a?o.-

Geo. W. JoxHt". Dear Sir: I would here state to
you that a year ago 1 suffered untold agonies on ac
co'jjit of piles (blind) and went to Portland to get re
lief from doctors there. 1 met Mr. Apple of l.ot-e-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 ei -ery
meal, one small glass full. I not only was re
lieved, bntl am certainly cured by what I used, and
thankful for it, because I guffcted more than 1 can
express. I Would advise any one suffering ,froni this:
disease to try your Mineral Water. Should you
have any occasion to use this statement do so. Vr-u
arc at liberty on mv account. I think this is the
least I can do for vou, as I was cured by it. Ke
siicctfully yours, JULIAN JOSEPH,,
ROSEliCRG, Iec. 3, 1&S3.
GEO. W.JONES: Bear Sir. From sheer curiosity
I was induced to try Eldorado Water and was not on
ly surprised but high' vv, gratiflel with the result. I
have for many years been a sufferer fron dyspepsia
and have tried every kind of eji'i known to
pharmacy ni'd without result. The contrary mas my
experience from the use of your mineral water. Ta
ken according to directions it produced ininiediate
relief and iu a short time, if '-ontinued, would set: u re
permanent cure. To any who will avoid irritating
stimulants, I am satisfied it will prove of valuable
comfort and lienefit. As a general retrulator I found
it most excellent. L.t. LAJMJv
DALLAS, Dec. '2! 1883.
From Mr. M. W. Parsons, last August. I received
one bottle of the Jones Eldora lo water, from Dr.
Hamilton of Roseburg. Used half a bottle for ea
tarrh and can fully ret-ommend 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 sprhig water from
Jones' spring, Douglas county, Oregon, and ain fully
satisfied with the result, as I was bottipred with ca
