Obituary.
On Thursday, July 17th, 1881, John
Collard Cannon, one of our esteemed
and respected citizens, died at the resi
dence of his son, Ira S. Cannon, of
bronchitis. "Uncle Johnnv" as he
was familiarly called, was born in Lin
coln county, "Missouri." He emigrated
to Marion county, Oregon, in the year
j 1853, and the following year to Douglas
count', of the s tmV State. In 1S39
he moved to Big Val ley, Lassen countyi
where he resided until last Mav, when
his health began to dechno, he moved
to the residence of Lis son where he
died. He leaves three sons, Ira S.
and Mahlon, of this county, and Rich
ard L., cf Douglas county, Oregon, to
iiiourndiisloss.
When crossing the plains, in 1853,
to seek his fortune w.iih ethers in this
western country, his beloved compan
ion and little babe, Mary Susan, feii
to the reaper, Death. and left four little
boys, I he youngest but three, and a
long journey with witich to light life's
' attics. The rides; son Isaac S., died
in. Oregon. Mr. Cannon kept 'nil his
children with him until they were
grown, gave them a fair education, and
always tried to impress ou their minds
the dominant , principles, honesty and
CI4 --
l-rutfnluc-ss.
Uncle Johnny lies co-eternity. A
j vacant chair is di'ap :.! with the habili
ments of woe? A kind and afJectionate
father, an honest and upright eitien
pu:s:-;.s without a niuiniur or struggle
aerons the mystic river. Though h:
walked around the house and door-yard
on the very day of his death, the sands
of life wore growing; oerc-ntibl v slower
and slower, until half-past two o'clock,
when the exclamation was heard, "lie
i.5 gone; lather is dead." Thus finished
the career of a good man a philan
thropist, if we have one a tv.&i with
out an cnemy,a citizen whose untimhly
end has wrought condolence and deep
grief over the entire neighborhood.
The fl:f in Lookout was hung at half

We notice a poster that is placed in
conspicuous places by the railroad com
pany which reads -as follows: "The
buids cf the O. & C. 11. It. Co., south
of llor.eburg may by entered upon by
actual settlers for the purpose of settle,
ment or improvement, upon the condi
tion that they will purchase the same
upon the regvdau, terms of sale, and at
prices to be fixed by the company. Im
provements msde by settlers will not
be taken into consideration when prices
are made." Y a consider theabn-c a
high-Handed outrage. The tieatuient
received by the settlers in East
ern Washington Territory and the
celebrated Mussel Blouh case in Cali
fornia, should teach our citizens to be
wary of railroad promises. We do not
bnlievo that a single settlement w ill be
made on the terms olFeivd above but
what will rob the settler of years of
hard earnings. The railroad is to place
the price on the land; the railioad is
not to charge for improvements. Oh,
no! Let everybody get right in and
make impiovements worth 1000 on
100 land and the railroad will only
charge yen $100 for it, when they
could get 1100 for you being a damned
fool. Hoop la ! Hurrah for Ulaine,

St. John, of the prohibitionists, lead.s

ower at twenty; became one of the
rough -and-tumble pioneers of Califor
nia go'd-diggers, and once lan bare
footed over ice and frozen ground for
two davs with an anxiou3 party of In
dians after him; started for South
America and was wrecked without
clothes or:, coin among the Sandwich
Islands; turned upas a country lawyer
in H'inois; served in the army through
the war arid got the rank c-t colonel,
and finally "struck it" in the rum
politics of Kansas.
Twenty thousand Republican bolted
m Kansas endorsing Glvek for re-elect-ion
for Governor, which will insure
his .re-election. The prohibitiohists
are enthusiastic for St. John, aud the
contest in the State for the Presidency
is limited to St. John and Cleveland,
the Republicans hopelessly splitting
the anti-prohibitionists endorsing the
Democrats, and the prohibitionist
element endors:iii St. John.

I have submitted to qualitative analysis the-muiiple
of Eldorado water handed me for examination and
lind it to consist of the following substances; Ctilo;
rine, Iodine, Carbonic Aeid, Iron, Alumina Litne
Magnesia, Soda and organic matter. '.

Eldorado-
Gaily bedight, a gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
.Had journeyed long, singing a song,
Iu search of Eldorade. -
. But he grew old, this knight 86 bold,
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell 33 he found no spot of ground rf
That looked like Eldorado.
And as his strength failed him at length
lie met a pilgrim Bhadow.
".Shr.dow," said he, "where can it be.
This spring of Eldorado?'
Quoth the shadow: "For the benefit o
sufl'ering humanity I will state tlret the El
dorado spring is situated three miles west
from Roscgurg, and a supply of the water'U
kept constantly on hand and for ale by Dr.
S. Hamilton, acnt, Iloseburg, Oregon."
Mr. Geo. W. Joxes Tear Sir: I hare beta
troubled with neuralgic pains in my head and cheek
bone?, foi" several years, and had friva up.aJl. 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 physic.
1 used it three Mines a day for a little more than two .
month i, and the pain-: lett me and I have not felt
them since, and that has been 17 montl s ago.

Geo. W. Joxkh. Lear Sir: I would lure stale
you that a year ago I suffered untold agonies on ac
c ttint of piles (bund ) and went to rortland to f re
lief from doctors there. 1 met Mr. Apple of Kelt
burg, who advised tne before seeina- the doctors to
try your Eldorado Mi nertU Water. I did so and had
one dozci tattles sent to mo by A. E. Champagne.
1 used one-hair dozen bottles, taking right before T
ery meal, one small glass fail. I not only was re
lieved, but I am certainly cured by what I used, and
thanVf ul forit, because I suffeted more than I can
express. I would advise any one suffering from this
disease to try your Mineral Water. Should yea
have any occasion to Use this statement do so. You
are at liberty on mv account. I think this is the
least I can do for you, as I waa cored by it. Re
s;ectfully yours, . JULIAN JOSEPH.
UOSEBURG, Dec. S. 1SSS.
CEO. W. JOXES: Dear Sir. From sheer curiosity
I was induced to trv Eldorado W".ater and was not on
ly surprised but highly gratifleJ with the result. I
nave tor many years been a suKerer irom 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 to directions it produced immediate
relief and iu a short time, if continued, would secure
permanent cure. To any who will avoid irritating
stimulants, I am satisfied it will prove . of valuable
comfort and benefit. Aa a general resrulator I found
it most excellent. L. t. LANE.
