Quite a number of our citizens met at the Court house Wednesday evening pursuant to a call by the school direc tors to take preliminary steps towards building a new and; couinicKlioBs school house in this district.

Hervey of Clarke's Branch gives us the information that he succeeded in poisening one of the largest black grey eagles last w eek that has infested this county at any time. The eagle measured 7 feet 10 inches from tip lo tip. Now let our cotcmporary beat us on eagles. T. Riley, one of the inmates of the Douglas county jail, is an artist of no little ability. He sjiends his time in drafting ships on pieces of smooth bone or pa-er which he gives to boys who usually recompense the giver with a bunch of cigarette or some little notion of the kind. Seven brothers, all raving maniacs, arc en route for the asylum at Jacksonville, Ills., a circumstance that gives rise, to the suspicion that there is a taint of insanity in the family blood. Heredity is always nosing about, seeking to make a point out of trifles like the above. Miss Maggie Linn of Jacksonville has been the guest of Miss Delia Parly this week. Miss Linn we hope will always cherish pleasant recollections ol her visit to Roscburg, as she certainly has made many friends here, who will lie glad at any time to extend her a cor dial welcome. According to the Inter-Ocean, "The winte zephyrs of Chicago are so mischievous, impu dent ami obtrusive that stone walls may notr rebuke them, and they can pour in at a key hole with such persistency as to nullify the good intentions of any fire that ever blazed with ruddy benevolence in stove or grate. There were 10,383 marriages and 566 di vorces in Chicago in 1SS5. Judging from this ratio about one-twentieth of the people who marry make a mistake, judging irom uiuie who "United jar and yet are loath to part," the matrimonial mistakes are much more nu , . , 1 - . . ... .t merous than even Chicago statistics indicate Under the head of "new to-day" in the Salem Statesman of Wednesday they have an ad. A sheep. Apply at this office for particulars." The editorials of that paper for some time have suggested to us the appropriateness of such an advertisement, yet the acknowledgement of the fact is our only surprise. The Astorian rejoices that the Cascade tun nel is to be constructed and the Northern Pa cific is to go straight through to Tacoma, be cause, as a consequence thereof, Astoria w ill become the great wheat-shipping port of the country; .The argument is that the O, R. & N. will be compelled to make it such, in or der to save itself. In some parts of the county sheep are dy ing in large numbers. Our informent says that although the grass is unusually short that the sheep as a rule die fat. As the weather has been comparably mild, it is probable that some insectivora are doing the mischief. It is a great waste to not save the wool of sheep thus lost at this season of the year. Fresh Comilexion. If you have humors, pimples, boils, erup tions, it is because the system -needs toning and purifying. Nothing gives such good health, smooth clean skin and vigorous feeling as Simmons Liver Regulator, purely vegetable and not unpleasant to the taste.

We want to say a word to the men, women and girls w ho work in stores, offices and facto ries. There arc hundreds of thousands of you in the country. Very few of you are well. You are shut up too much and exercises too little. In this way you get sick. Your blood is bad, your digestion poor, your head often aches, vou don't feel like work. Your liver. stomach and kidneys are out of order. Park er's Tonic has cured hundreds of such cases. It is pure, sure and pleasant. DBAiy ITEMS. In our town, the supply of items worthy of being reported, has been scarce for a week or two. The storms keep every body indoors and even the farmers do not come to town except for necessary supplies. ' Jimmy Sterling is still kept in the house by illness. The principle signs of life are in the Normal School, which was never so prosperous as it is right now. The next term liegins Monday, Feb. 8, and a large number of new students will lie enrolled then. The Normal class is a source of just pride to the friends of the school. There will be an Elocutionary" and dramatic Entertainment on Friday of next week, at the Chapel. A crowded house is anticipated. The students are preparing themselves for Bro. Bell's lecture ort Hamlet which they expect at an early day. Miss Myrtle Russell has just purchased a hue piano, and thereby adds largely to the rapidly growing taste for refining influence of music in our town. Our good friend Callwell is kept in the house by a lame leg,, which gives him a season of leisure to reflect on the errors of his ways. Maybe he will give up being an in surance arent wnen lie ircis wen. w no knows? There was a very pleasant gathering on Thursday cyening of last week, at the resi dence of the Misses McCallister. It was largely attended and the result was a delightful evening. One of the great blunders of the last legisla ture, w as the bill which endeavored to patch up the method of appropriating school moneys to the several districts. The present plan of giving each district fifty dollars before the per capita distribution, simply offers a pre mium on the formation of impracticably small districls, while it weakens the power for good of the larger districts. We venture the asser tion that the annual report of the county Superintendent will show a large decrease- in the number of months of public school taught in Douglas County. The next legisla ture should repeal this absurd law. Casarai.tan. oxstititios: I tiiiniiii ( iiiiiji In ili 11 Win' t i trrit Article I. Section i.

JH.lHTJSltX STAK ClfAPTLlt. OryaHlzetl In Itoxrimry. Roseburg Chapter No. 8 E. O. S. was duly instituted by T. G. Reams Deputy Crand orthy Tatron last Wednesday afternoon. There were 61 persons who received the de grees and one who was received by dimit, and eight more to' receive the degrees under the title "charter members," making in all just 70' members of this chapter, now the largest Chapter in the State.. Valuable members of Adarel Chapter, who arc well versed in both the exoteric and esoteric work came to confer the degrees as assistants of Mr. Reams, and are as follows. Mrs. Newman Fisher, W.

We hope to soon see our officers as proficient as those who organ ized us and put us to work. We think Mrs. Fisher confered the digress belter than we ever saw done by any one, and Miss Magi Linn sustained her position with a credit most excellent. These two are mentioned only be cause they had the most difficult parts to per forin. All did well, and we hoie oiir com ments will not be considered invidious. To peak of the members at Roscburg we will only say they did their part nobly, especially the ladies. The supper was all we could w ish and all went merry as a marriage bell.

Every man has a right to hi; views, and are liable lo differ. So we must look at the cir cumstances, and sec which is the nearest right, is my rule. Mr. J. M. Hockett says that I had better mind my own business in regard to the poor farm. I think he has forgot something alwut the farms purchased. It is our farm. I will have to pay more for it than Mr. H. will. Now I know if Mr. Hockett haden't the poor contiact he would be worse off in 3 years than any one that ever owned my place. My place, 389 acres did raise over 800 bushels of good wheat and over 400 of oats, and aliout 10 tons of hay and kept nearly 300 sheep and pasture lor hor .es and cows to run the ranch, and there was no extra farming done either, friend H. my farm has creek lioltom, black soil and all kinds and I hope you will here after find out about the men that got broke on my place. The firsl ow ner built a large house and got in debt by bad management, and the second one had nothing to start in with, and he came out as he went in from the best I can leain. I had 110 reference to Mr. Hogan's farm what ever, but if the difference in the price is one $71x10 and one $4000 the county commissioners ought, in my opinion liought the $4000 one, and hired a man to take ch irge of the farm and paid him by the year and fur nished the provisions and had the poor to help run the farm ami make something out of the business themselves, not give the job to one man at all, but run the concern by the connty. Times are hard and men plenty that has no home that are willing to work for low wages; that is my way of thinking but if the county would run the farm then no one would have cause lo grow l. My letter is long enough, Vours, old growler, G. W. GENliEK. On ft (iron SiiuHvitms But what shall I write aliout? How n-.any times has this subject Been pressed on the mind, As theme after theme with a mountain o thought, Passe over our .senses", refined. Mr. Mat Ruckle spends his Sundays home. Biistow Gabbcrt's relatives now reside at at Civil Bend. It is rumored that there will be a wedding at Oak Grjve soon. "The charm that in the spirit lives, no changes can destroy." Jno. Hervey, Jr. was the gue.-.t of Ed. Ruckle one day last week. The frost king smiled on Mrs. Win. Fitz Patrick's flowers last Saturday night. The handsome young man of Oak Grove encountered a large panther a few days ago. I think that a doctor, after dissection, would say, " Bristow ( '.tbberl has too much affection." Grandma Stevenson is the rcciprent of many favors from Willie VanBuren of Rose burg. The smiling lace of Mr. Ed. Hervey was seen on main street, of this place one day last week. Miss Mollic Ruckle's team gave her a se rious fright one day last week, by running away. Mr. John Bowman of Idaho Ty. is still the guest of Mrs. Wm. Hervey's family of Clark's Branch.

His dauchter Mrs. Battel, resides with him. Miss Clara Stevenson was seen turning the leaves of Mrs. Susie Sears' last Delineator a few days ago. . I heard Mrs. Sears say, ''your dress will be the nicest dress I have made since I came to Oik Grove." I slipped away determined to tell my ma that Susie was par tial. As I. was makinc my way home. I saw Mr. John Coon, the popular traveling mer chant, propping his team up against the fence. afterwards learned that Mr. Coon drove through lhat bad slide between Mrytle Creek and Oak Grove. I lis team, wagon and goals were badly damaged. This is the second vehicle that has turned over in this danger ous place, the slide occurcd Dec. 25th.

Mr. John Hat field conducted the singing in which the whole Club heartily joined in the true purpose of the "Armor Bearer." He then acted aschaplain after which the minutes were read and ap proved.

His hands ana feet were frozen and he was finally carried in a litter to the residence of Messrs. John and Henry Stanley where he was properly cared for; Dr. Graham of Roseburg was called to attend him and found it necessary to rim- putale part of the left foot and thinks his lujnds and the other "foot can be saved. After j Dr. Graham was able to leave Dumplelon fijr a short time he was called lo see a sick lady jtwo miles distant.

Sprrrhm t'mtnlnctit t'itltrux, awl Miilirf Snlisrr'ibi il. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the citi zens of Roscburg and vicinity, took place at the Court House in this city on Saturday last, for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the citizens ofI)oiiglas county thought that a wagon road to Klamath Basin, would be of sufficient 1cnefit, to warrant them in making a survey of the route and if practicable, to con struct a wagon road from Roseburg to said point. We are happy lo say that the meeting was a success in every particular. Roseburg has never held a public meeting in which the citi zens of the county took so much interest and to which they subscribed so lilierally. Nature has contributed her share, both in climate and beautif il scenery to make this portion of L iig las county the garden spot of southern Oregon; and it now only remains with us to complete the good work by building a road to Crater lake, which kind Providence has placed with in a few miles of our lovely city. The following is the reiort of the meeting. Meeting called toorderby Hon' W. F. Owens who, after making a few appropriate remarks, w hich w ere received with enthusiastic applause by the audience he nominated Hon. D. S. K. Buick as chairman, which was carried unani mously. On motion E. F. Walsh was chosen Secretary. Mr. Buick on taking the chair addressed the meeting at some length, show ing the immense benefit that Douglas county w ould derive by building the proposed road to Klam ath Basin and gave such a lucid geographical discription of the proposed route and the large track of country tributary to it, that those present felt that they were as well acquainted w ah the road and its benefits lo the city of Roscburg and surrounding country as if they had individually traversed every foot of iL Hon. L. F. Mosher was the next speaker. Mr. Mosher called upon Mr. Rafe Dixon, S. C. Flint and others, who were well 'ac quainted with the country to correct him, if he made any mistalements. Mr. Mosher then proceeded to go over the route w hich is well j known by Messrs. Dixon, Flint and others ! U'ving a graphic discription of the grades, dips, ' spurs, and angles, and wound up, by stating that a roail could be built for a mere trifle, compared w ith the benefits that would accrue to this section, he said that by ojiening the road, Roseburg would be the Metropolis of Southern Oregon. Mr. S. C. Flint who has surv eyed a large portion of that section, stated that in his opinion, the only trouble would be, in making a grade on this side of the summit, j and even that, could be avoided, by going around it, w hich would make the road from two to three miles longer, and that on the other side of the summit, the ascent was so l'radual. thai one ronld hanllv 1 .-11 milium. . the aid of an instrument, when the summit was reached. j Hon. L. F. Lane presented the following j resolution, which was read and adopted, ! Resolved: That it is the sense of this ( nicctini'. that an earnest ffn.rt shonhl 1... .-i,L. by the citizens of Douglas county, Oregon, toward locating and constructing a wagon road, from the easternlerminus of the present traveled road, on the East fork of the North Umpqua River to fhc Klamath Basin, Oregon, and in an able and eloquent speech,' showed the advantages to lie gained by I louglas coun ty in the construction of the proioscd road, and moved the following resolution which was read-and adopted. Resolved: That a committee of six con sisting of Ashcr Marks, W. V. Benjamin, Rafe Dixon, Aaron Rose, A. A. Engles and W. F. Owens be and are hereby appointed, who shall have full power to make all con tracts and supervise all things relating to the survey and location of said proposed road and by warrants drawn upon the Treasurer of the fund subscril)cd, disburse moneys for the same. That said committee shall keep a true, full and correct account of their transactions and report the same to a full meeting of the sub scribers on Saturday 3d day of July 1S86. Short speeches were next in order, and were indulged in by Hon. W. F. Owens, Asher Marks, W. I. Friedlander, S. C. Flint and others. J. R. If. Bell of the Review made some interesting remarks, in his jolly good naturcd"way, which were to the point and which brought down the house. V. I. Friedlander prepared and read an Iron clail subscription list, which was adopted and readily signed by those present. -Hon. D. S. K. Buick of the -Plaindealer, chairman of the meeting and J. R. N. Bell of the Rosebijrg Review were appointed a committee of two, to raise the necessary funds to defray the expenses of the survey, and right royally did they do their work, in a few minutes they had raised $250.00 and before this report reaches our citizens, they will have several hundred. The Chair drew the attention of the meet ing to the fact lhat Douglas county remains unrepresented at the Board of Immigration rooms at Portland anil suggested that steps be taken as soon as possible to perfect an or ganization for that purKse. He thought I that as this meeting represented the substantial men of the county, that now was., the proper time and place to make this suggestion. After electing S. C. Flint as Treasurer, the meeting adjourned subject lo call by the chairman. i E. F. Walsh. Secretary. KOSEItl 111! VCItLIC SCHOOL. The Benton Leader says, that the total number of persons attending the State Agri cultural college, two public schools and one private school all of Corvallis is 362, which is less than the attendance of our public school. And we are informed that our school atten dance will soon reach 400, with a probability of 500 or 600 next year. Yet Corvallis boasts of 2000 inhabitants and we claim only 1400, For educating those 362 persons Corvallis and the State pay annually over $8,000: for edu cating a like number. Roseburg and the State of Oregon pay less than $2,400, and we hold Ourselves ready at any moment to compare the quality of the school work actually done in this city with that done in Corvallis. We in tend no disparagement of the good work done there, but mean to say that we have struck upon the economical plan. Under the present management the school is costing the district about $2.50 per scholar and there are alxmt 30 non-resident pupils in attendance, most of whom pay seven dollars per quarter. Two non-resident pupils that together pay fourteen dollars pay for educating themselves and three of the district pupils also, Thus il may be seen that a large patronage of non-resident pupils would overpay the cost of teaching them enough to pay for teaching the pupils of this district. t Eugene would have licen of no imiiortance 1 yet but for her schools; aud our school will j I v.m mwit I'UJOlS IU IMWIIUI IHUII .

The experience of many years has but too clearly demonstrated in the inefficiency of quinine and other drugs to effect ually combat the progress of intermittent, congestive and billious remittent fevers, -w hile on the other hand, it has been no less clearly shown that the use of the Bitters, a medicine congenial to the frailest constitution, and de rived irom purely botanic sources, anoras a reliable safeguard against malarial disease, and arrest it when developed. For disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, for general . debility and renal inactivity, it is also a most efficient remedy. Appetite and sleep are lm- roved by it, it expels rheumatic humors Irom the blood, and enriches a circulation impover ished by mal-assimilation. - . Pcrcheron Horeee. What the Commissioner of , AgTlcul tnre said ot Port-heron Horse Hun. George B. Loring, Cmniissioner of Agriculture of the Uni ted States, having promised to meet with the Per chtron Horse Breeders o America, at Chicago, Nov. 15, 1883, telegraphed as follows: "I regret exceed ingly my inability to be with yon. I am heartily in syniKithy with you. Am heartily in sympathy with y our Hwition. Physician 08iUvely forl.kls my my leaving the house. Sly d isa point men t is irrcater than yours. The Pcrcherons are recognized aa a distinct breed in France, and are entitled lo a Slud Dook there and in this country as much as thor oughbreds, and as much as any breed of cattle to a herd book. Their introduction has greatly impro ved the farm and draft horses of this country, and will, undoubtedly, improve the large carriage and omnibus horses. I think the publication of a Stud BooW in both countries will ultimately, in this case as in all others, add greatly to the future value f the breed." It is gratifying to know similar senti ments are entertained by some of the prominent mportcrs, notably among them Mr. M. W. Dunham, of Wayne, Illinois, who buying none Eut pedigreed stock has done more toward the introduction of the finest ty pes of the breed, than, we might almost say all other m-sa, hiring imported nearly 2,000 uince 1872.
