A San Francisco dispatch to the Standard
saj's that the Union Iron Works has re
cently secured a contract from the Newport
Coal Company to construct a , steel steamer
of the register cf between 700 and 800 tons,

have 12 feet draft. She is to have first
class accommodations for 32 cabin passen

Suit Dismissed-
The Oregonian says: "It ha3 been agiecd
between the parties to the suit of W. J.
White vs. C L. Spore and all the officers of
the city of East Portland, in which the plain
tiff claims damages for falling through the
L street elevated roadway while it was being
rebuilt, to dismiss the case without prejudice
and this will undoubtedly; be done. One of
the reasons for this is understood that the
plaintiff is a resident of Montana and that
therefore the United States court does not
have jurisdiction. The case will probably
be brought up again in the State circuit
court. "Why is it that the U. S. court has
no jurisdiction in this matter?" asked an Or
egonian reporter of Judge jDeady. "I only
know what I have seen of the case in the pa
pers," answered the judge,! "but if the plain
tiff is a resident of Montana the court has no
jurisdiction. This is an old decision of Chief
Justice Marshal', & long tune ago, The case
first arose in the District) Columbia, which
it was decided was not a State within the
j
meaning of the law. The, litigation may be
between citizens of two States, or between a
citizen of a Stato and a foreigner, but the
citizen of a territory must j have recourse to
the State courts. The decision in regard to
the District of Columbia wa3 held to apply
to territories, and I, myself, have so ruled.
Inasmuch as a territory eventually becomes
a State, I think this ruling should be changed
by the U. S- supreme court."

Boosi for Empire Citj.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Oregon Southern Improvement Company
was held in Portland Saturday last. Repre
sentatives of 1S,533 of the 20,000 shares
were present. The following board of di
rectors was elected for the ensuing year:
Elijah Smith, of Boston, Mass; William W.
Crapo and VVm.Jl. Besse, of New Bedford,
Mass.; Win. P. Granger, G. H. Miner, Gor
hani B. Kcowlcs and Frederick Schetter, of
Empire City, Oregou. The principal office
of the company will ba removed to Empire
City, and William H. Granger will be in
charge as manager and business representa
tive of tbejeoumany for Oregon. He will at
once commence the erection of a larsre saw
mill at Empire city, and the steamer Alki,
will qe loaded with goods at New York on
the company's account and dispatched to
that place. From this it appears that Em
pire City is now coining in for a boom.
The New Steamer Alki. A dispatch to
the Oregonian from New York, June 2Gth,
says: The latest additio'J to to the Ameri
can merchant marine is a trim little wooden
steamer, lying at Brookly, owned by the
Oregon Improvement Company, Her name
is Alki, an Indian word signifying "by and
by." She is built unusually strong by Daw
son & Sawyer, at Bath, Maine. She has
three ma3ts, and is fore and aft rigged. Her
engines are of the compound type, and will
cousume about seven tons of coal a day. She
is expected to develop a speed of about ten
knots an hour. She i3 also provided with
steam winches for handling her cargo and
anchors, and also has steam appliances for
extinguishing fire, and for other purposes.
Her dimensions are 291 feet in length, 22 feet
7 inches breadth of beam, and 1G feet depth
of hold. The saloon is handsomely furnished
and she has stateroom and cabin accommoda
tions for 50 passengers. She will sail from
here next week for San Franr-isco, and will
go through the straits of Magellan. Sue is
intended to ply between San Erancisco and
Empire City, Oregon. The principal officers
are: Captain, Alfred Doane; chief engineer,
Henry V. Freeman; first ofScer, R. G.
Delano,
Tight G-loves.
Harper's Bazaar: The complaint
which ladies make against gloves in
general is that they are too short in the
fingers, and therefore do injustice to
the tapering and delicate shape of that
member which. Lord Byron regarded as
the one infallible indication of aristo
cratic lineage. The glovemakeis reply
that the dfect arises In nine cases out
cf ten from ladies wearing their gloves
too small. Thus a lady who wears six
and three-quartets can get her hand
into a six-and-a-half glove; but in do
ing so the longth of tho glove is taken
up in the width, and consequently the
fingers, instead of going well on, only
go partly on. The thumb fares still
worse, for it reaches a3 a rule, oniy
down to within a quarter of an inch 01
its proper termination, the end of the
glove, which is cut to go around the
wrist, having to be joined across the
ball of the thumb. Of course it is ab
surd to suppose that any glove will
stand such a strain, or will look well
when dragged so completely out of
shape. We might as well attempt to
put a stocking over a gooseberry bush
as to draw a six-and-a-half glove over a
six-and-three-quarter hand. The glov
ers tell us that one of the still unex
ploded fallacies is tb-xt a glove to fit
well must fit tightly, the fact being
that a comparatively loose-titti.ig glove
has a far better appearance than one
that is half a size too small, because the
proportion of the hand is preserved.
Would a lady, ask the glovers, wear a
boddice or a dress so tight that her fi:r-
ure seems bursting out of it, and d-awn
into all sorts of contortions as a conse
quence of its smallness? Vet the same
lady will wear a g!ove on her hand so
tight that her fingers look like sausages
and the back of the hand like parch
ment stretched en adruui-htad. We
fear-the consideration of this question
involves the unkind admission that
there are ladies who have pretty hands
and ladies whose hands are the reverse
of pretty. 1, is considered the hight
of rudeness to designate any lady as
otherwise than beautiful, and similarly
he wonld be a rash man who would
venture to assert that all ladies' hands
are not small, and that all fingers are
not tapering. We are bound to say,
however, that many a lady's hand has a
stump appearance when gloved, and a
very elegant appearance when un
gloved, and this undeniably due to the
practice of wearing gioves which can
only be induced to go ou with the
greatest difficulty.
The Chicago Convention.
Republican politicians and newspa
pers are sorely puzzled to know who
the Democratic candidate for president
will be. Before our next issuo the
nominations will be made and the per
plexity set at rest. We have our opin
ion as to who the candidate should bei
but it would seem like arrogance on our
part to offer a prediction at this late
day. We can assure these Republi
cans, whose anxiety has caused them to
predict his nomination, that it will not
be Butler, and that, whoever he may
be, he will conduct the administration
of these United States for the four
year's next ensuing the fourth of March,

Elaine's Opponents-
The newspaper opposition to Blaine
becomes more portentious every day.
We published a list on Saturday of the
independent and Republican journals
which were openly committed against
him, but the additions to it since that
time greatly outnumber the originals.
It stand now:
New York Times, New York Her
ald, Harper' Weekly, Puck, Evening
Telegram, Brooklyn Union, Rochester
Pose-Expres?, Rochester Herald, Syra
cuse Herald, Flushing Times, Boston
Advertiser, Boston Transcript, Boston
Herald, Springfield Republican, Phila
delphia Record, -Philadelphia Times,
Chicago Times, Chicago News, New
Haven News and the New, York Even
ing Post. In addition to these the
Chicago Inter-Ocean, the St. Louis
Globft-LVmOctat, the Buffalo Express,
the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, the
Philadelphia Telegraph, the Boston
Journal, the Worcester Spy, and many
ot her Republican party journals consent
to support the ticket, but admit that
they have small hopo of seeing it elect
ed. We do not believe any candidate
of any party ever entered upon a presi
dential canvass with such tremendous
oJds as theee against him. In this city
the Tribune is the only paper which
supports Blaine squarely. The Com
mercial Advertiser has not defined its
course clearly, but it evidently has no
intention of advocating Blaine, for it
says that his nomination was a "glori
ous victory," won by the "star-route
gang, the cowboys, and tho intriguing
politicians." The Mail and Express is
also doubtful, saying that ''this may be
a bad year for Republicans, unless en
tirely united and well guided." New
York Evening Post.
The real grounds of objection to
Blaine on the part tf independent re
publicans are found in his susceptibility
to corrupt methods in politics and gov
ernmental affairs, as shown in his rul
ings in favor of railroad companies
while speaker of the house of represent
atives, and in the danger of his involv
ing the ration in a foreign war, in case
he should be elected president. By the
more far-seeing republicans he is re
adied as possessing unbounded ambi
tion and people generally are afraid of
such a spirit in the executive office of
the nation. States Ricrht Democrat.
The Political Outlook-
The Republican party, so-called, has
distinguished itself. It has put in nom
ination the man, of all men prominent
in politics, the most unprincipled, the
niGst corrupt, the most tangled and
damned for villainous doings that can
be found in public life. James Gilles
pie Blaine is the Republican candidate
for president. This is the head of the
ticket. The tail, we supposed to be an
offshoot of the Logans of Kentucky.
But our Republican friend, Mr. Law
rence Khoe, vouches for him as the
cross of an Irishman born and an In
dian squaw! j4s Mr. Logan has never
distinguished himself, except by un-
gtammatical Shd rude vociferation, we
suppose his claim to support will rest
on his ancestrv.
The Republican party is dead. It is
represented by a bold bid for all the
thieves, adventurers and unscrupulous
rogues of all parties under the lead of
the red republican, Blaine! McMast
er'sN. Y. Freeman's Journal.
Fine Beer. Last week "ye bonnie
mann," Pete McGregor, consigned to
President Lane of the Hose Company
a keg of his most excellent brew of beer.
It was intended for the delicate palate
of the Roseburg fire department and
upon the dawn of the glorious fourth of
July was tapped. As the boys formed
in procession they felt fully enthused,
hav ing drank to the day, the star-span
gled banner and jolly ' Pete, of the bor
ough of Oakland. Long he may he
wave.
Ths Katil Day!
, . , .
The Fourth of July at this place wp.s
a grand success. In addition to the
patriotic spirit which usually gAthers
together many in the name of liberty
ami good government, there were a
large number who came to see Cole's
great show and to join in the good old
r . 1 rr
festival also. The crowd was simu'.v
immense. Rcseburg never before saw
so many people within her fair limits,
and perhaps will not again, until we
hear the whistle of the lecomotivo that
will pull us over the railroad to the
deep waters of Jie Pacific, the liberty
car was beautifully decorated aud the
goddess just filled our reportorial eye to
overflowing, not with tears, but with
rapturous admiration. We saved one
to observe tho bright-eed, chubby
faced, corn-fed, sweetly-dressed little
cherubs that represented the sisterhood
of our Union. The firemen muds a good
showing, considering the fact that many
of their memlm were occupied in other
capacities and could not participate with
their respective companies. The hock
and ladder truck is a perfect daisy and
the hose cart, prettily adorned, looked
well. .The members of both companies
inspire us with the confidence that, in
case of emergency, they will not be
found wanting.
Marshal Slocum and aids preserved
admirable order. At the stand ood
attention was had and the exercises
theie music, reading and oration
were of excellent character. They will
justify further review, in our next issue.
To that tiruw we also defer mention of
the races. Cole's afternoon exhibition
was largely attended by an appreciative
and wondering audience. We go to
press before the evening performance.
We congratulate the indefatigable Yan
kee Doodlers upon their most excellent
music.
Sullivan Knocked Out m 0ns Eoimd-
A large crowd assembled at the Mad
ison square garden on the night of the
30th, to witness a set-to between Sulli
van and Mitchell. When all was ex
pectation Sullivan leaned over the
ropes and in a voice thick and husky
with intoxication, announced that he
was sick. From his bleared and bloated
appeal ance it was evident to the crowd
that the champion was in no condition
to fight. Ho had evidently boon
knocked out and completely done by
that veteran ringster, John Barleycorn
His reputation as a priie fighter is
gone. He is not the only strong man
whose reputation has suffered from a
meeting with this veteran wrestler.
Young men, beware of a meeting with
John Barleycorn, for he is a hard hitter,
amino modern Samson has been able
to cope with him. The ancienta were
shorn of their strength ly Lis might.
Blaine's Statesmanship.
The admirers of Blaine have been!
searching in vain in the history of the I
doughty knight for a single act in all
his official recorll, that they might pub
lish to the world the evidence of, his
statesmanship. They have succeeded
in giving to the public a statement to
the effect that he voted for the anti
Chinese bill. But they have not the
honor and magnanimity to state in con
nection with this declaration that in
this respect he acted with the Demo
cratic senators and in direct opposition
to a majority of his Republican col
leagues; that his record in this respect
is no better than that of each and every
Democratic member in the United
States Senate at that. t;ine; that to
commend him for this act is to condemn
the party which nominated him for the
position, for the position which it as
sumed on this question in both branches
of congress.
Sentenced. Briscoe was recently
sentenced before the Circuit court of
Jackson countv for the crime of rcb-
bing Wells, Fargo 5i Co.s' express
near Grants Pas3. He was sentenced
to eight ' years in the penitentiary and
taken io Salem Wednesday of this
week. Briscoe was deputy sheriff at
the time of the robbery. From the
testimony of an accomplice it was the
intention of the robbers to capture a
large amount of money belonging to
Jeffery & Co., which was going to pay
off the hands at the Siskiyou tunnel.
They only got about six hundred dol
lars, belonging to other parties.
Good. The weather since the recen
rains has been unusually favorable for
crops. It has been overcast, cool and
dry. There were great fears that rust
would follow the wet weather but
these apprehensions have been removed.
There will be an unprecedented crop
cf cereals. Some hay, that was down,
has been seriously, injured but tho
quantity was comparatively incnsidcr
ble. Take it all in all our farmers
have every reason to be thankful aud
xejoice.

A story comes to us that last Thurs
day Henry Bushnell went to his
brother William's house where they got
into a quarrel, whereupon Henry drew
a pistol and fired at William but missed
him. He then started to run, when
William took his gun from the wall and
fired at his retreating brother, who dis
appeared in the brush and has not
since been found. William went to a
neighbor's and told what he had done,
and that he believed he had shot his
brother. The brothers had a quarrel
and fight a few days before at Wells'
place. It is o be hoped that Henry
may be found uninjured.
The leopard cannot change his spots

All the Page. To captivate the popu
lrr taste and surpass all previous efforts to
please the palate, requires no small amount
of knowledge and no little skill, and when
we remember that the very agreeable liquid
fruit remedy. Syrup of Figs, is as beneficial
to the system as it is acceptable to the stom
ach, we readily understand why it is the
universal favorite as a cure for habitual con-
tipation aud other ills arising from a weak

I have submitted to qualitative analysis the sample
of Eldorado water handed me for examination and
find it to consist of the following- substances: Chin;
line, Iodine, Carbonic Acid, Iron, Alumina Lime
ilasuesia, Soda and organic matter.
THOMAS PR ICR.
- Eldorado-
Gaily betlight, a gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing a song,
In search of Eldoradd.
But he grew"bld, this knight so bold.
And o'er bis heart a shadow
Fell oa he found no spot of ground
v That looked like Eldorado.
And as Ids strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.
"Shrdow," said he, "where can it he,-
This spring of Eldorado?''
Quoth the shadow: "For . the benefit
suffering humanity I will state tht the El
dorado spring is situated three miles' west
from Rosegurg, and a supply of the water is
kept constantly on hand aud for sale by Dr.
S. Hamilton, agent, Itoseburg, Oregon."
Mr. Geo. W. Joses . Dear Sir: I have been
troubled with neuralgic pains in my head and cheek
bones, for several yea,'jj, and had give up all hopes ot
ever setting 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 physic.
1 used it three times a day for a little more than two
months, and the paiu-i left me and I have not felt
them since, and tlitt has been 17 months ago.

and Joseph, of Albany, bears the following testi
mony: ALBANV, OGX., December 20, 1883.
Geo. 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 set re
lief from doctors there. I met Mr. Apple of It oe
burg, who advised me before seeing the doctors to
try your Eldorado Mineral Water. 1 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 I can
express. I would advise any one suffering from this
disease to try your Mineral Water. Should you
have any occasion to use this statement do so. You
are at liberty on niv account. 1 think this is the
least I can do for you, as I was cured by it. Re
Siiectfully yours, - JULIAN JOSEPH.
ltOSEBURG, Dec. 8, 18S3.
GEO. W. JOXES: 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 years beeu a sufferer from dyspepsia
and have tried -every kind of iepsin known to
pharmacy and whjiout result. The contrary was my
experience from the use of your mineral water. Ta-
Keii according to directions it produced immediate;
relief and in a short time, if 'ontinued, would secure
H)rmanentcure. To any who will avoid irritating
stimulants, I am satisfied it will prove of valuable
comfort and tietiefit. As a general regulator I found
it most excellent L. F. LAKE.
DALLAS, Dec. 2, 1883.
From Mr. M. V". Parsons, last August. I received
one bottle of the Jones Eidoraio water, from Dr.
Hamilton of Roseburg. Used half a bottle for ca
tarrh and tan fully recommend it for that dreaded
disease, as 1 have not been troubled with the com
plaint since. D. T. SEARS.
I have also used the Eldorado sprinsr water from
Jones' spring, Douglas county, Oregon, nd am fully
satisfied with the result, as I was bothered with ca
