ROSEBURG REVIEW FRIDAY, NOVEMBER J), 1885. . All persons receiving a sample copy of the Review will consider it m in. citation to fcecome a subscriber, and will writ us a card 16' nenl it right along. - -" ' ' - . Address of Welcome. The address of welcome delivered by Miss Dora Lewis last Friday night in Slocum's hall to Supt. McEl roy was as follows; "State Supt. McElxoy The honor of extending to you the greeting of our school this evening has devolved upon me, The duty would indeed be a pleasant one if I were better fitted to perform it, how ever Out'. may ba I do know that I am fully authorized by all teachers as well as pupils to uttt r the simple; words "we welcome you." Standing as you do at the head of the educa tional system of the state of Oregon wc respect you. That you arc recognized ai. earnest and efficient in the performance of your high duties we honor you, and that you are solicitous for the pn'gess, welfare and advancement of all within the perview of your charge we' esteem you. All professions have their victories and occasion for pride. The soldier enjoys the pomp and circumstance pf war and its achieve ments the physician is happy over the suc cess of his cures, aud the lawyer rejoices in the applause of hii clients, but they all arc sulwr dinMc til the educator. A soldier without ed ucation is brutal, a physician without know ledge: is a quack, and a lawyer without learn ing is a pcttefoggcr. Without the educator they arc nothing. Those who lalior in the cause of education deserve the highest meed of praise. At this time I cannot but express our sense of appreciation of the ability, kind ness and patience of our teachers. We real ize that it is their desire to teach and improve us and to make the acquisition of learning a labor of love and not a task. Words of en couragement to Oiem from you will be well deserved. We predict that in due time you will find in us marked improvement, and now tendering to you our best wishes for your sue cess and happiness I repeat "you are thrice welcome to our school. A Minister in Trouble. The Orcgon ian has this to say of us in last Monday's issue, ana to wmcn we plead guilty. We believe the employe, did his duty; and hereafter we will try and make our escape out at the "west gate of the temple,"and perhaps it will not be so "closely guarded." "Almost every person in Oregon knows the Rev. T. R. N. Bell, of Roscburg, now editor and publisher of the Review at that place. He visited the Me chanics fair recently and there chanced to meet his old bachelor friend "Oil" Tompkins in charge f an exhibit of stoves. When he started away "Oil" gave him as a present to his wife a patent pie lifter, which neither thought anything about wrapping up, Shortly after Mr. Bell attempted to pass out at the cast gate, which, he found strongly guarded by Peter Shulderman, who asked the reverened gentleman to explain how he came by said pie lifter. Mr. Bell stated that an intimate friend and fellow-workman had presented it to him. Peter' stated that he was not entirely satisfied, and jnsisted thai Mr. Bell should remain stand ing until he could, call a council of the work men in and about the temple. Of course, Mr. Bell quickly established bis right to the lifter, and proved his assertion that he had not lifted it. As he gives an excellent account of the fair in the Review, it is presumed that he had no further trouble in reaching home and that he harbors no' malice against a faithful em ploye. . Courtesies. The Adelphian Literary So ciety in selecting a regular evening for meeting appointed Friday evenings for Oiat purpose, because they thought that evening was not taken up by any other society in Roscburg, and would therefore conflict with the social interests of no one. This forethought on the part of the young people of Our community is deserving of marked respect from various di rections. Mrs. Clara FolU deferred her lec ture from last Friday night until the next night. The entertainment and union sociable which was to be given to-night has been postponed; also the Yankee Doodle band who had intended to give an entertainment next Friday night, have changed the exercises until another evening. As a token of respect both these entertainments should be greeted with a crowded house. State Agricultural College. The Board of Regents of the above institution held a meeting on the 28th inst., to elect a successor to Prof. Jos. Emery, who recently resigned the chair of mathematics to take charge of the Klamath Agency. The Board elected Prof. T. F. Campbell, A. M., of Eugene City, Prof. Campbell has been eminent in the educa tional field for many years not only in thetast em and Southern states, but more cspcially in Oregon. Wc consider this a most excellent apointment as Frof. Campbell is a man of great ability and sterling worth. Senator Lost. Hon. J. M. Siglin com ing on tha stage from Coos last Tuesday morn ing, concluded that he would walk a short dis tancc with some fellow passenger, and wait for the stage to overtake them. But the fog obscured the way and they took the wagon road this side of Looking Class, and were "picked up" by. a kind hearted wan and brought to Roseburg. Monument. The Bronze Monumcntstand. ing over 1 1 feet high in the court house yard, which will be put in the spring over the grave of Curly McClallen was brought to this city recently by Jas. A. Cardwcll, and erected this week by Henry Bowen and it is a magnificent piece of work. On rJirORCE. The law of the state of Ore gon explicitly says that no person who is di vorced can marry again for the space of six months, or until the time for an appeal has expired; and any person violating this ex press statute b liable under the law. Octagon Bureau. Herman Anlauf of Josephine county has just finished one of the most beautiful as well as convenient revolving bureaux to hold boots and shoes, for his uncle Louis Langenberg the leading boot and shoe man of this city. m ' ' Walk on your toes. -Some people coming in church or elsewhere walk on their heels, not knowing that to walk on their toes they would make comparatively no noise create but little disturbance by their entrance vr exit.

Chadwick and wife returned from the South last Thursday evening, and report hav ing had a good time. Our Junior Band met Trof.

Next Monday week Nov. 16th the Drama "Above the Cloud" will be produced in Slo sum's Hall by local talent. A. J. Rockfcllow of Ashland was on the train going South last Friday evening, having been to Portland on business. The Grand Jury at Blackfoot Idaho, has found twenty-nine indictments against Mor mons for unlawful cohabitation. "Above the Clouds" is being rehearsed al most daily. You may expect a treat in tho rendition of this popular drama. Hon. W. F, Owens went below this week, taking in Corvallis, Fortland, Salem, and other points of lesser dimensions. t Mr. David West, our newly appointed Treasurer, will immediately move, from his home in Cleveland to this place.

Gannon is certainly one of the very best workmen among us. He never turns out a job until it is first-class, no matter how trivial. Bring your job work to the Review office, we can print anything from the tiniest card to to the largest poster in first-class style, and at living rates. Trof. McElroy State Supt. was invited by the public school of Roseburg to address them last Friday night, and they made no mistake by so doing. Hyman Wollenburg, Canyonvill's leading merchant and his family are in Roseburg vis iting for a few days, and are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Friedlander. Medford held last Saturday night a very large and determined Anti-Chinese meeting. From the Monitor we learn that the "Chinese mus go" away from Medford at least. Prof. Rigler at present principal of the Walla Walla public schools, formerly Supt. of Tolk county schools, is Trof. Ruby's suc cessor of the Fortland high school. Sylc Rice, our old school-mate, is in Rose burg manipulating the lightning for J. W. Williams at the depot for a' few days. Syle used to live here, and he is acquainted with the girls. Trial proves that honesty is the best of policy in medicine as well as other things. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is a genuine preparation, aft un equalled blood purifier, decidedly superior to all others. Hon. Binger Herman's family is preparing to leave with him for Washington city soon. We regret this very much, for the members of his family have become indispensable factors in our Roscburg society. But if you will go, hon voyage. Hon. John Roberts of Coos county called on us Monday. lie goes to Eugene thence to Salem next Monday to attend the special ses sion of the Legislature of which he is an hon ored member. R. C. Hunter M. D. who is now located at Canyonville Oregon, comes well recommended having graduated at Glascow University Scot land, and is an ex-Sergeon of the British Army. Success to him. Boys should not roll rocks down the hill on the other side of the river, becauso it is very dangerous. A lioy lately came near losing his life by one of those holders let loose alxve by some careless boys. An erudite gentleman not long since pro nounced the word "conversant" with the accent on tlic last sylable, when it should have been on the first as we thought at the time. Better look a "lcedle oud." Now that McClellan is dead, we suppose Mr! Chauncey Depew, or some body else, will treat the American public to a few more reve lations on conspiracies, which no one else ev er heard anything about. S. F. Floed left us last Tuesday morning for Salem to engage in the new enterprise o the Prohibition Star. The Review and its atches certainly deplore your departure, but wish you abundent success. John Aiken, A. O Rose, V. Wheeler and Wm. Howard, brought in two big bucks Oct. 31st, whrchwas the last day of grace. They will kill only docs hereafter. We feel thank ful for that mess of venison they sent us. Mollic Floed came to our town last Saturday to spend the winter with her parents. We suggest modestly, that as she is a first class pianist her talent ought to be brought into requisition at our literary entertainments this winter. W. Gi Woodward and wife went to Grant's Tass last Friday to visit their son James, and on business as well. Mr. Woodward is build ing a fine harness and saddle shop at that place. lie will succeed, now mark what we tell you. The address of wetcome by Miss Dora Lewis found in this issue shows what our young ladies of Roseburg arc capable of doing when they try. This brief address is a most excellent one. Miss Lewis deserves much credit for this effort. David West of Cleveland was appointed by the county court last Saturday to fill out the unexpired term of County Treasurer vice V N. Moore resigned. This is a first class ap pointment and all seem well pleased with the selection made. Our Oakland correspondent corrects us rather sharply in last week's issue on our printers error. Well now we will have to stand it, for we cannot prove to the contrary unless we had a witness, of which we are mi nus. Hit us again. T. J. Critzer went on a business trip to Kcrbyvillc last Friday evening on the south bound train, and Hon. J.C. Fullerton followed on Saturday. There must be a rich lead in that section to attract those gentlemen so far from home unprotected. Hundreds of letters from those using Ayer'g Hair vigor attest its value as a restorer of gray hair to its natural color. As a stimulant and tonic, preventing and curing baldness, and cleansing the scalp, its use cannot be too strongly recommended. The lectures delivered by Mrs. Clara Foltz at the Court House on last Saturday and Sunday evenings were well received. The de served tributes that she paid to the life and character of Col. E, D. Baker was repeatedly answered with applause: and the address on "Mother and Son'" was equally meritorious. In favorable seasons California counts its honey-crop by the thousand tons, and bee keepers find a good profit when extracted honey commands no more than four or five cents per pound, and comb-honey seven or eight cents. This year, however, the honey yield will be light flowers are few and nec tar scant. Our worthy correspondent at Drain did not write or suggest a word in reference to Mr. rerkins the depot agent. It was from ano ther source entirely that we learned of Mr. rerkins' accusations about the complicity of the Democratic party with the Prohibitionists. The Democrats scnm to be doing very well in America at present anyway, Roseburg, Ogn., Nov. 3d, 18S5. By a late ruling of the Commissioner of the General Land Office at Washington the odd numbered sections within the indemnity be tween the twenty and thirty miles limits are now subject to settlement under the pre-emption and homestead laws. W. F. Benjamin, Register, It is a burning shame in a civilized commu nity to have courtesans and their followers to flaunt their unblushing audacity on the streets andinpublic assemblies, before the refined and intelligent. In all well regulated muni cipalities this element is forbidden an intru sion even in all respectable public gatherings Suppose the City Council speak in this mat ter. New facilities are being added to the Review office every few days. This week we received a new proof roller, a card and paper euttcr, and have just completed a remodeling and sverhauling of our job press by a first-class workman. Now we can do as fine job work as you would wish to see. Wc have also ad ded this week 5olbs of new brevier type for our local p'age. We are pleased to notice the manner in which the patrons are co-operating with the school authorities in securing remarkably reg ular attendance at school. The street corner is the poorest place in Douglas county at which children may obtain a proper education, and parents are taken ttme by the forelock in seeing that their children do not loiter on the way to or from school. We perceived a handsome young lady going down Main Street the oUicr day, who uncon sciously came in contact with some obstruction on the sidewalk , (we presume that Peck's bad boy placed it there) and for a moment disaster appeared to be eminent. When that young lady picked herself up, it was plain to see that if that boy had been within reaching distance, he would undoubtedly, have been a candidate for a crematory. To whom it may concern. We, the under signed take great pleasure in saying that we have received a beautiful White Bronze Mon ument from Detroit, Michigan, through the agency of J. A. Cardwcll, and have- placed it for the present in the court yard in Roseburg, where it can be seen and will show for itself. We consider it the most enduring, highly finished and the best means of preserving family records of any known material. We are well pleased with our monument. D. C, McClallen and wife, The following refers to the mother of our re spected banker W. S. Humphry of this city. The will of the late Mrs. George Humphrey of Eugene City, Or., says the Pacific Church man, left $200 toward the erection of a new Methodist Episcopal Church in that place; and the residue of her estate, after the payment of some bequests, to the Missionary Society of the M. E. Church. The latter, it is thought, will yield not far from $3,000, while the $200, added to a former bequest which is now in the bank in cash, gives the church in Eugene at least $3,200 with which to" begin the erection of a new church. Their intention is to build during the present year. The Ashland Tidings, a newspaper that never makes a mistake has the following: "Fred Floed and Fred Cronemiller, of Rose burg, will start a prohibition paper at Salem, it is said. Both are "sterling young Demo crats." . S. F. Floed is a "sterling Democrat" and F. P. Cronemiller is a "sterling" Republican. Your infallibility my brother, is somewhat fal lible you see. You do not see clearly even if you do live in a glass house. Neither do our sins atone for your errors. If we had appro priated forty Tolk county items without giving credit therefor, that fact would not excuse you. Your casuistry is unsound. DRAIN IfEXS. Sol remarked yesterday tht the Glee Club is a fine thing and that the gentlemen com posing it intend to give a concert before long. Vint says that the Glee Club may be a very nice thing, but the Guards of Honor arc still ahead. Your correspondent wishes to add that in his opinion, the G. of fl. is based on the true theory, and accomplishes more good work for temperance reform than any other. In the same connection, I wish to remark that in last week's Review there appeared some uncalled for remarks, which do injustice to our fellow townsman, W. A. Perkins. I might not mention it but for the fact that I have been accused of the authorship of the article, and wish to emphatically deny it, for the reason that I don't think any more of St. John and the "Third Tarty," than does Bro. Perkins. I consider the whole scheme, including its leader, a colossal humbug. The students of tho Normal School have reorganized their literary society, with J. C. Lane for President, Vinton Boots for vicc- President, and Miss Ida Clark for Secretary, R. B. Lane and Miss Olive Morningstar are the Committee on Programme. The society is composed of some of the most intelligent and progressive young men and women to be found any where, and excellent work is being done. The Strykcr block, now belonging to Dr, DeVore, of Oakland, is being refitted, plastered and entirely renovated; for what purpose your correspondent cannot say. Five new students entered the Normal School this week all from a considerable distance. I understand that five or six students are cxpectod from south of Roseburg next week. The present condition and future prospects of this institu tion of learning arc very flattering. Our stu dents and citizens are, at the time of this writing, looking forward with eager anticipa tions to Bro. Bell's lecture of Friday evening. I will tell you all about it next week. J. A. Sterling left on Monday for the east. It is not known how long he will remain. We wish him a pleasant visit and a safe return. Have you found out that it rains in Oregon ? Casaraltan. Civil Rend 1 tma. A school has been started at Dillard Sta tion under the successful management of Miss Tate; and although on a small scale, is a giand success. The facts in reference to the Civil Bend school are not so interesting. Farmers, as a general rule, are making prep- erations for their winter's work. They seem not to be discouraged by partial failure of crop last year, and present low prices. It is not always safe to judge the future by the past. Rev's W. M. Hous ton and Wolcy of Eugene City have been attending the meeting of the Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in this community. They have held several interesting meetings which have been well attended. Although wc arc effected only in part by the busy whirl of events in the social and political world around us, we are. nevertheless, not without interest in passing issues; In this, as in every community in which moral worth and true character are ruling elements. Your ef forts in favor ef temperance reform receive a hearty' and almost unamimous support. If a certain class of men hold nothing sacred cither living or dead, let them learn by dear experi ence if by no other means to respect the dead. Charlemagne. Elklon neirs. The long looked for rain has come. Our saw and flower mills arc doing a good business. The farmers are p repairing to start the plows preparatory to fall seeding. Some ten cases of measles in the neighlior hood among the little ones no old material to work on. Our school is prosperous under the manage ment of Prof. A. T. Ambrose, who has taugut uu a good school. Mrs. J. M. Stark and her two daughters went to Woodland Cal. this fall for the pur pose of sending to school. Bor. Black of Gardiner Preached to a small audience last Sunday. The rain fell so fast that the people could not venture out. The young folks, and even some of the older ones seems to have a mania for dancing about every week. They have to get up one in this vicinity. The stage still comes in on time, and has a change of fresh stock at this place so that pas scngers may expect a speedy trip through to Scottsburg. Nasby. Monmouth News. I hope through the columns of your paper to be' able to let your readers know something of the siuation and prosperity of the State Nor mal School, at Monmouth, It is situated on a beautiful prairie about two miles west of the Willamette River. It is 14 ics Southwest of Salem by the road. It is rather difficult for studentscoming from the Southern part of the state to reach here now, but when the West Side R. R. is completed to Junction, the route will be direct. The School opened this year with a larger attendance than ever before, and is constantly increasing in number, at the rate of from six to ten a week. Stndents come here term after term, from almost every county in the state, and also from Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming Territories. This shows what an active and growing interest teachers and patrons take in raising their schools to the highest possible standard, for the purpose of of fitting people for their respective duties in the schoolroom, also for furnishing the young er pupils with pure and useful knowledge. The Faculty is composed of President D. F. Stanley, Professors W. E. Yates, J, W. Powell, and Mrs. Powell, Misses Doughty, Loughry, and McFadden. All active and energetic teachers. More Anon.

A telegraph party under Mr. Crouch arc now at this place placing the lines in first class order for the winter. The Ladies Fair held here Saturday night proved a grand success and much praise is due the ladies in charge, the music, supper and declamations were nice, reccipts4alicut $50. The lecture delivered by Clara Foltz was very well rendered, but I think if she follows it, would advise ker procuring a man's outfit for a woman in men's clothing is entirely out of the question, I for one think the place for a woman is attending the household duties and not addressing the public, Observer. An Oregon Boquet in November. The following u from Monday's Oregonian. and is speaking of Portland: "To look at the gardens around town one would hardly sup pose that 'the melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year." The gorgeous hues of the foliage still clinging to the trees and shrubs and the brilliant colors of many flowers now blooming show that it was not of Oregon that Washington Irving wrote: 'October in her scarlet and her orange liveries clad had passed away and brown November came in.' Novcmljcr is here and the rains have come in earnest, but the scarlet and orange is still vivid and the gardens are gay with bright-hucd flowers. There arc plenty vf roses, dahlias are at their best, pctumias arc a mass of varied colors, chrysanthemums in gold, white, scarlet and variegated colors nod in masses of beauty, nasturtions and morning glories adorn lattices with gay blossoms, gera niums are in full bloom with the marigolds, pansies, heliotrope, tuheroses, mignonette and many other favorites load the air with per fume. The white waxberries and the red pyracanthus berries form pleasing contrast with she Iglossy green leaves around them, and taken all in all, our gardens present a specta cle of beauty that would astonish the dwellers of eastern states in this latitude at this season.

Senator Siglin of Coos Co. addressed the Reform Club last Tuesday evening and made a telling speech in favor of Prohibition. In spite of the inclement weather a large at tendance was called to order at the usual hour. The Junior Band led by Prof. Jones furnished excellent music. Rev. McAllister led in pray er and the whole Club directed by Prof. Horner sang, Storm the Fort. Afterjvhich the Rev. J. W. Miller made the regular address. Ve have long known the position of one of our able ministers and like his teachings especially on this subject. At recess the pledges were circulated, upon calling to order it was known that Senator Siglin was present, stopping over on tys way to the State Senate. A demand was made by the audience to hear his views on the question Prohibition. Mr. Siglin came forward and was introduced by the President, and Uien pro ceeded to give his views on the temperance question taking strong ground for the suppres sion of the liquor traffic and cutting down the influence of its supporters on the ground that it tended to evil and only evil. He made many witty comparisons showing that the only way to deal with liquor is to throttle it by the strong arm of the law. Mr. Siglin likened the increasing interest and agitation of this ques tion to a gentle rain which reaches every part of our country and wets every thing in its course; indivdual influence he likened to a snowflake so small and apparently powerless as to melt in the palm of a child's hand, and its fall so noislcss that through the night mil lions may come down unheard and you wake in the morning and find the house, barn, fence, and field wrapt in a mantel of purity and the scars of that man has made upon the earth all hidden from sight so individual influence for the night shall be so noiseless yet so multipled and all prevailing that some morning you will wake and find all the wickedness and -care that whiskey made upon society deeply hur ried beneath a mantel of purity. There were some interesting dialogues and a short speech all prohibition by Rev. McAllis ter. Rev. Moses was chosen speaker of the next meeting. Secretary. Ren. Emory's Letter. We take the liberty of printing this extract from a private letter from Rev. Joseph Emory of Klamath Agency: I find the work of the Agency various. The Klamoth Agency, embracing 1,000 Indians, is a little nation within a big nation, and every thing that unites to make a nation is tound here. And the Agents work is to take super vision of everything and find and direct all the interests of this people. I have already become deeply interested in the welfare of this people and if my life and health are spared I hope to do something to help lift them up into a higher civilization. A great work can be done here. I trust that I may have wisdom to so direct the affairs of this people through the help of God and the Gov ernment as to accomplish the work committed to my hands. I have preached every Sab bath since I arrived save one. We have two large schools organized and a good work is being done among the children. We have two industrial boarding schools on the Reser vation ; ninety lioarding scholars at the Agency and sixty at Yainax. These children are fed and clothed by the Government. Theoretical and practical education are combined. We teach till 12 oclock M., and in the . afternoon, under the direction of teachers and artisans, they engage in a vancty of industrial work, the boys in the shops and on the farm, and the girls in the sewing-room and cook-room; others washing, ironing and all other employ ments that are calculated to prepare them to build up for themselves homes and gather about them the comforts of a civilized life, and thus become a thrifty, enterprising, industrious and independent people, as well as a happy, contented christian people. Major Smith, of Fort Klamath, (just promoted to Lieutenant Colonel) remarked to me, in a conversation, that the Klamath Indians were the most peaceable and industrious tribe of Indians on the American continent, outside of the five civilized tribes, and that it was not necessary to maintain a military post at Fort Klamath to protect the whites against the Indians, but to protect the Indians against bad white men. This speaks volume for our Indians. MARRIED. COUSTKAT DEALT In this city, Norombor l8t, t tha Presbyterian Church, by th Rev. J. R. X. Ball, D. C. Courtuny to Mrs. Hnry E.

NEW YORK. New York, Nov. 3. The election in New York State to-day is for Governor and oOer state officers, for five justices of the Supreme Court, and for both branches of the Leg; da ture. The vote for the different candid itei for Governor will be compared with the vote cast last year for the different presidential can didates. Arrangements have been completed for getting full and early returns from all parts of the state. Polls in New York closed at 4 o'clock. In dications are" that a large vote has been polled. Both parties are confident. Outside of New York the polls do not close until sunset. A Herald bulletin says: All the Democrats are elected in Richmond county. Democratic net gains in almost every pre cinct and county in the state give Hill a ma jority of over 20,000. press comments. A Sun editorial says: "The entire Demo cratic ticket election proves that the stalwarts have long memories and sharp blades'." It says country districts - throughout the state show large gains for the Democrats. The Tribune says the stay at-home voters decided the matter. A severe storm in the interior, which made the vote light, did not cost the Republicans any seats in the Legisla ture. The Times says Hill has been elected by from 10,000 to 15,000. It says three years of Ira Davenport for Governor was bartered away for a single hour of Forakcr's and Lo gan's oratory, and claims the election of Hill a reactionary step. The Herald says: Hill and the Democratic candidates for Secretary of State, Comptroller, l reasurer, Attorney-General and State Engi neer are all doubtless elected. It says Hill's plurality is 8,000 or 10,00. The Tribune estimates Hill's plurality at 10,000. VIRGINIA. THE OLD DOMINION RESTORKn MAlinvR INDIGNANT. Richmond, Nov. 3. The weather is clear and cool. The election is progressing quietly, although both parties arc working hard. At I c'clock a number of precincts in the county had polled over three-fourths of the registered votes.
