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.

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.

Josephine county has just finished one of the
most beautiful as well as convenient revolving

in church or elsewhere walk on their heels, not

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."

lations on conspiracies, which no one else ev
er heard anything about.

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

nus. Hit us again.
T. J. Critzer went on a business trip to
Kcrbyvillc last Friday evening on the south

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

By a late ruling of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office at Washington the odd
numbered sections within the indemnity be

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

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.

A school has been started at Dillard Sta

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.

The young folks, and even some of the older

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.

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.

The Ri form Club.
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.

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. At several precincts, where
the colored vote preponderates, long lines of
Voters are apparently waitingtheir turn. It is
probable that when the sun goes down manv
will have failed to deposit their ballots. Re
ports from other parts of the state indicate
the polling of a full vote. It is cenerallv be-
licved here Oiat the aggregate vote of the State
will greatly surpass that of last November.
The election in Virginia to-day was for cov-
ernor, lieutenant-governor and attorney-een-
eral, also the entire new house and senate.

a Democratic gain of 1500 over Cleveland

Kcturns received up to 9.10 T. M. from
about forty voting precincts, including voting
places in several doubtful counties, show net
Democratic gains of about 1 500.
Lynchburg gives Lee a majority of 180. a
gain over last year of 215.
The secretary of the Republican committee
at Lynchburg telegraphs that 26 colored
voters were left in line in the Third ward there
when the polls closed.
Twenty-two out of twenty-four precincts in
Richmond gave Lee 3?02 majority. The Dre-
m - " a
cincts to hear from gave 88o"majority for Blaine.
1 he same majority for Wise leaves Lee's ma
jority 2642, a Democratic gain of 752.
Seventy-four precincts outside of Richmond
show a net Democratic gain of 2296. Returns
from counties classed as doubtful, such as
Cuipcpper, Trince Edward, Halifax, Charlotte
Rockbridge, Rockingham, Alexandria, county
and city, show that the DemocraUc legislative
ticket, has been elected in all of them, which
will give the Democrats a good majority in
both houses.
A DEMOCRATIC SWEEP.
Cities and counties throughout the State
give large Democratic gains. It is estimated
that Lee's majority will be 15,000, and the
Democrats will have a majority in both houses.
Richmond city gives Lee and the Democratic
ticket a majorjty of 2500, a gain of about 600
and returns from members to the Legislature
The city of Petursburg gives a Republican
majority of 600, a Democratic gain of 629.
Fauquier county gives 1 100 Democratic ma
jority to tho house.
So far as heard from the Democrats have
gained three members of the Legislature.
Mahone'sown county gives a Democratic
majority of 200, and so it is all over the State,

ters here indicate the election of Democratic
members of the Legislature in Fairfax, Culp
epper, Orange, Norfolk and Portsmuoth.

for the first time in many years.
MAHONE's EXPLANATION.
Gen. Mahone has received" the following
from Portsmouth, Va: "The city has gone
Democratic by 6oo majority. Norfolk goes
300 Democratic. Big chance for a contest."
At this hour (11 p. M,) Gen. Mahone sums up
the situation as follows: "The Democrats
have carried the" State and Legislative tickets
by the unscrupulus use of the election ma
chinery over which they have absolute control.
and which was provided by their last Usurp
ing legislature, expressly with" this end in
view.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 3.
Gen. Mahone : There was a very ouiet
' m 9
orderly election in Richmond, and a large
vote. Alout 250 of our votes were left out in
Jackson ward, but I think we have held our

PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, Nov. 3. A hasty review
of the voUng throughout the city this morning
shows that the polling is fully up to the aver
age and that le ss scratching is being done than
expected. The Republican State ticket is gen
erally receiving the full vote of the party, and
there is no doubt from the presentindications
that Quay, Republican candidate for state treas
urer, will receive at least 10,000 majority in
thb city. There is some scratching ol Rowan
I Republican) for sheriff. The election of the
rest of the republican city ticket is conceded
The Democrats will hold their own" tbrough
out the State. ..
ILLINOIS.
Chicago, Nov. 3. The vote was lighter
than usual. These are no official returns.
The best information obtainable leads to the
.nprcssion Oiat the election law is 'carried.
The polls did not close till 7 o'clock, which
will delay until a late hour the receipt of ade
quate returns upon which to base conclusions
of the result. - '

doubtedly carried. Other authorities are not
so certain. It looks as though the Democrats
are gaining ground, so far as tbe county com
missioners are concerned. Returns half in.
Fifty-seven precincts give 5879 for and 2290
against th.e election law. For commissioners
the democrats are ahead, except in the case of
Lang, who ran away ahead of his ticket.
Returns come in slowly.
"Beyond all donbt the city election law is
carried," said a Daily ? News transparency at
10:30 p. m. Popular interest here is almost
entirely centered in the fate of the new elec
tion law, ine democrats have endorsed the
Republican nominee for judge.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, Nov. 3. It is an extremely auiet
and unexciting voting day in Boston, and in
many wards that usually present a lively ap
pearance the utmost quiet prevails. There
are four tickets in the field, viz: regular Re
publican, regular Democratic, National Labor
and Prohibtion. - j

cratic gain of 19.
MARYLAND.
The election passed off quietly and resulted
in a sweeping victory tor the regular Demo
cratic ticket. Returns are not all in at mid
night The length of the ticket necessitates a
slow count. So far as heard from not a single
0
fusionist candidate has been elected. State
returns are coming in very slowly, but indica
tions point to a Democratic success in nearly
all of the counties, which insures a working
majo.ity in both branches of the State Legis
lature.
