Runaway. Yt-slcrtiay morning a horse be
longing to A. . O. Rose was hitched at the
restaurant anil pulled off a railing and ran up

dashed into the stable but fortunately no one
was hurt. .
kosehvrg Kainfall. The rainlall ior
Roseburg ad registered at the Signal office a
this place from September 1884 to same month
1005 was a utile over 20 inches, lhis was
unusually small. Since last September wc
have had 25,73 inches. Wc have seven
months left to reach last years figures. We
have no serious (ears of a failure in this sea
sons rain crop.
'- New Bridge, A petition is nowleingcir
culated praying the County Court for the con
struction of a county bridge across the South
Uninqna river at or near Winston's ferry. It
. has already received a large number of, signa
lures and will be unanimously signed; before
the next meeting of the County Court. A
. large number of our citizens will be directly
benefitted by such a bridge and we therefore
sincerely trust that it may be favorably consid
ercd by the court.
Coyote Chase. Last Sunday the fine dog:
belonging to George and James Short were
. given an opportunity to show their good quali
iies ou the range of -Burney Dixon. They
managed to awaken a coyote from his lair and
then followed a splendid chase- Everybody
and animal seemed to enjoy the affair very
much except the coyote which having served
to exercise the dogs gave up his scalp. Fact
is the increase of bounty has had a good ef
fect on the-dogs, their owners can now afford
to feed the good fellows any way.
The Reform Club. The hall was
crowded as usual last Tuesday night to listen
to an address by Prof. II. L. Benson of
Drain. Mr. Benson is noted throughout the
state' as a scholar and one who deserves the
title of professor; this gentleman gave some
good points in favor of prohibition and gave
also some of the disgusting effects of the use
and abuse of liquor and opium, making his
address interesting to all. The exercises were
applauded long. The singing by the choir
was excellent; the dialogue entitled "Johnson's
Intelligence Office" rendered much amuse
ment; and the Happy band did well in their
song. Frof. B. A. Cathey was chosen speaker
for the next meeting. Come one come all
cvcryliody welcome. II. Wr. LUHRS,
Sec. Protern.
Caro's New Store. Last Monday Messrs
Caro Brothers commenced moving their large
stock of goods from their old stand to their
new room corner Jackson and Washington
streets. The shelves, counters, in fact the
entire finish inside is splendid and pays a high
compliment to our local mechanics whose
handiwork it is. The goods are now in their
proper place and are tastefully arranged pre
scnting a fine Appearance in keeping with the
room. Roseburg has now three store rooms
occupied for general merchandise that com
pare favorably with any thing of the kind in
Portland Marks, Abraham and Caro's. The
other two, Josephson and Stanton also oc
cupy bricks and are represented by solid
men. All in all Roseburg has reason to be
proud of her merchants and mercantile estab
lishments. Good Times Coming, We believe that
we can recognize a better business spirit pre
vailing now in Douglas county than wc have
realized for many a year. The winter has
been unusually favorable for farmers, cattle and
sheep, stock generally have seldom fared bet
ter. The outlook is remarkably good for crops
and abundant harvests will go a long way to
make up for cheap markets. During this week
Sam, Ashcr and Adolph Marks, Rudolph Abra
ham and we understand Cy. Smith, formed a
copartnership for the purpose of buyine, rais
ing, selling and generally trading in cattle in
Oregon and elsewhere. Ten thousand dollars
will be placed in the business at once and of
this sum Douglas county will derive a benefit
and as they will every year buy more or less in
this locality, it will prove a continuing benefit.
The prospect of constructing a road from here
to Klamath Basin has taken on a good shape
and the prospects of practical results are excel
lent. The people of Camas Valley arc mov
ing toward a good wagon road to Myrtle Foint
in Coos county. With proper county aid the
boundary line between the two counties will
be reached this year. Much will depend upon
the spirit ol the people in this pretty yet iso
lated valley. The prospects of a step toward a
, substantial brick school house in Roseburggives
encouragement to the heads of families and the
friends of progress and education. The view
is hopeful, the clouds are brighter and the
skies grow daily brighter.

The increased bounty offered by the County
Court for coyote scalps has added to the in
dustry of our nimrods and endangered the
health of brown Shepherd dogs judging from
the sue and number of scalps presented at the

tell the difference.

Narcotics and sedative produce unnatural

One Bottle Instead of a Doz en.
"And it took only one bottle to do it,"
said a gentleman, speaking of Tarker' Hair
Balsam. I had a run of fever, and when I
got well of that my hair began to fall out so
fast as to alarm me. I really didn't know
what to do, until one day a friend said, 'Try
Parker's Hair Balsam.' That was some
months ago. What surprised me was the
fact that one bottle was enough. I expected to
use up a dozen." Clean, highly perfumed,
not oily not a dye. Restores original color.

Your corrcspoudent "Now-witka" claims .to
write for the interests of those that stir around
this bad weather and wc suppose to the detri
ment of those that don't stir; in regard to those
items caught in the air, we will simply say
the people have been dosed enough with such
fulminations.
The coyotes which arc a grand nuisance and
a detriment to thq sheep raisers of this yicinity
made a feast on C. G. Durlings flock a few
nights since and killed all his lambs, Mr. C.
thought by confining his sheep in a pasture
near by they would escape from the unmer
ciful lamb distroycrs, the coyotes. j
Hon. Tim. Barnard one of our solid and
influential men is purchasing a drove of year

Wc do not wish Mr. B. any bad luck but
hope he will not be lucky enough to fimj a
buyer, as we want such men as him to re

The Calapooia bridge is in rather a dilapi
dated condition, the high waters are gradually

praying for the county to build a new bridge.
The county board attempted to the tunc of
$50 last spring to remodel and put the bridge
in shape but the celebrated bridge builder
which was employed by the county board",
failed to makuany change whatever, we are
sanguine in the opinion that there can be some
way devised and the county board should at
tend to it and save the county from the cost of
building a new bridge. S. B,

last Sunday and not thinking of the soiitli
wind he would have to contend with' coming

young man just starting out in life we feltj it
our duty to give him a word or two of advice.
We only want him to remember when h is
going with the wind that it will take him just
twice as long to get back as it did to go. We
wish you success all through life and hope you
will nevermore stay out so late at night.
Now-witka.
How a Duct Wan A eerlctt.
One day last week a .couple of our young
bloods had an altrication at the debating soci
ety, when one of the them a chivalric young
gentlemen feeling that his honor had been im
pugned threw down iiii gauntlet, and chal
lenged his adversary to mortal combat. The
meeting was arraigned to take place the next
morning on the high promontory overlooking
the city at the western 'end of the Umpqua
Bridge. Each of the youths spent a sleepless
night. Morning came at last and as the first
bright rays of the morning sun fell upon ithe
green mountain side the challenged party was
seen wending his way up the nigged hill at the
west end of the bridge with slow and solemn
tread. The refreshing breeze from the moun
tain, the warm glow of the sun shine had ! its
influence upon his anger and as his oponent
failed to put in an appearance toward noon he
returned to town refreshed by his morning
walk and no doubt feeling much better toward
his blood letting antagonist than he would if
his hide had been perforated with buck shot;
It seems that the police had got wind of 'the
contemplated tragedy and a couple of youths
arc observed to play shy of our city marshal.

The students at the close of the term were
very loth to give up their friend and teacher,
Prof. Booth, and, as a token of their affections
and appreciation, presented him with a fine
gold chain and locket.
The Review is still a welcome guest at

The Normal School began its Third term
Monday, with about a hundred scholars.
The teacher, Prof, Rippetoe, who takes Trof.
Booth's place as first assistant is doing excell
ent work, and the trustees were fortunate in
securing his services.
The members of Trof. Benson's private
elocution class gave an entertainment last
Friday evening. The house was crowded
to its utmost capacity, and all pronounced it
one of the best entertainments ever given in
the town. They will give another in a few
weeks.
Pete Applegate and Elmer Palmer strut up
and down the street like regular "smart
Alecks," just because, during the past week
their wives presented them with pretty babies.
I never could see why such "episodes" as
Arteinus Ward used to call them, should
make men feel so almighty big; can you?
We would like to see one of brother Bell's
ringing editorials on that school law which
our Solons passed last winter, offering a fifty
dollar bounty to little starveling districts
which never amount to anything under the
most favorable circumstance. Districts like
Roseburg which ought to have their full share
of the Public fund, are thus robbed of their
dues, and the Jitllc districts do not have one
day more, of : school than before. The law
ought certainly to be repealed by the next
legislature. Casaraltan.

I Sot Symptom, but the lilgcane. ;
It would seem to be a truth appreciable by
all, and especially by professors of the healing
art, mat to remove the disease, not to alleviate
its symptoms, should be the chief aim of med
ication. Yet in how many Jinstanccs do we
see this truth admitted in theory, ignoicd in
practice. The reason that Hostettcr's Stom
ach Bitters is successful in So many cases.
with which remedies previously tried were in
adequate to cope, is attributable to the fact
that it is a medicine which reaches and re
moves the causes ol the . various maladies to
which it is adapted. Indigistion, fever and
ague, liver complaint, gout, rheumatism, disor
der of the bowels, urinary affections and other
maladies not palliated merely but rooted out
by it. It goes to the fountiin head. It is
really not nominally, a radical remedy, and
it endows the system with an amount of vigor
which is its best protection against disease.

SEATTLE,
tUISESE AKIt BLOOIt SIIEIi.
Last Sunday under pretext of seeing whether
certain ordinances were lieing observed, a
large number of people of Seattle proceeded
to the China quarters therein and quietly
moved the Chinese and their goods to the
wharf of the Queen of the Pacific. Alwut
three hundred Celestials were huddled together
and an attempt was made to put them on the
steamer. This was resisted until fare was
paid. Sufficient money was raised to procure
passage for about a hundred who were accor
dingly placed on board. Then a writ of
Haljcas Corpus was sued out and served on
the Captain who made answer that he would
pnxluce the bodies of the Chinamen on ship
board but the mob would not allow him to do
so. Thereupon Judge Greene directed the
Sheriff to summons a posse and proceed in the
vessel and bring the Chinamen before him.
This was accomplished on Monday morning
so quietly that the Anti Chinese crowd were
taken wholly by suqirise. Judge Greene ad
dressed the Chinese and inlormed them that
they could cither leave or stay. If they would
go their passage would be paid and if they
remained every reasonable effort would be
made to protect them. A very large propor
tion prefcred to get away. But the steamer
refused to take only so many leaving a large
number whose passage had already been paid.
For those that remained there was only one
thing left for law and order citizens to do
and that was to return them to their former
quarters and there protect them until an op
portunity came for them to leave. Up to this
juncture the Anti-Chinese party had acted
admirably. They had been quiet, Orderly,
sensible and were masters of the situation.
They could not but realize that the
Chinese would leave as soon as possible
and that meanwhile they should not be
disturbed. But they made a fatal mistake
when they endeavored to disarm the Guards
lay hold on the Chinamen They made the
command "fire" inevitable and it came with
sad results five white men were cither killed
or wounded sacrifices to law and good Order
and victims to the folly of dangerous men.
These lessons seem harsh even cruel but
the majority of the law must bo maintained.
This is a most unfortunate affair for Washing
ton Territory The doors of the Union were
ljciiig opened to receive her into the Sister
hood of States but they are now closed for
the next two perhaps four years to come.
THE II A lit OF THE lOd.
Communicated.
Years ago when Portland was in its infancy
a promising young man fresh from one of the
rural districts was studying law with an old ex
printer and publisher. Pittock was then toy
ing with the embryo Oregonian and striving to
establish a newspaper on the North Pacific.
He felt himself in need of a political editor and
applied to the Attorney who had had some
experience in the newspaper world. The law
yer informed him that he had a young man in
his office that would fill the bill, that he had
observed his style of composition and that it
was too imaginative for the law and he
thought it would take well in the literary field.
The offer was made and the young Yamhiller
immediately laid aside his Blackstone and took
up the goose quill. Matters went smoothly
for awhile but in a short time the young bohe
mian returned to his preceptor with dishevelled
hair, sleepless bloodshot eyes and the picture
of utter despair depicted upon his countenance.
The attorney asked him the meaning ot his
troubles and the youth told him he had been
caught in a flagrant falsehood and desired to
know whether he had better acknowledge
himself a liar, resign his place as editor and
return to the farm. The lawyer told him to
do nothing of the kind but to publish another
sensation in the next issue so much bigger that
the public would overlook the first lie as of no
consequence. The countenance of the young
editor at once brightened and thanking his old
teacher for the advise doncd his beaver and
left the office. . Sure enough the next day there
was published in the Oregonian a sensation
which threw the young city into a furor. So
skillfully did the young editor ply the public
with a new sensation on each succeeding issue
of the paper that the previous lie was overlook
ed and the scandal monger placed upon a new
scent until the old track was cold, and in this
way the young editor would slip out of one lie
by telling another, that it would remind one
of the methods of the fox in playing the hound.
A circumstance which earned for the editor
the name of being the biggest story teller in
Oregon, a reputation which he steadfastly
maintained to the present time. And which
no doubt contributed not a little to the present
standing of the Oregonian.

Tbs thun Hombs of FajLKCS. While some peo
ple in America call all horses imported from France
Norman, it is a fact that there is so breed in Franc
called by that name by the French people; the nam
Norman, therefore, is purely American. The prin
cipal breeds of Franceare knows as Perch rons and
Boullanris. The Percherons are the most highly
prized ot all French races, and atl departsaeats of
France o to the Ferche for stall ions to fasyrove
their local breeds. The Percheron Stud book of
France, published under the authority of tbe French
Government, is the only stud book of draft horses
that is or eror has been published tn France, and
now contains the pedigrees n( about 6,000 animals.
But some importers are offering aerttfloates from
France of Norman draft horses that may mislead peo
ple who do not understand the French language to
believe these reeirds ef origin. Kot one of them
issued contains a pedigree. They are furnished at
tbe reanest of American bnvers by the secretary of
one of the French Agricultural societies who says
)ere is no intention of publishing them in stud book
form; a? they have no pedigrees ami are of no value
whatever. "(T'aa well known fact that what a nan
gi res for a horse over from $500 to fSOO tbe price ot
a good grade is paid for"pc!?tjof blood; and where
the seller is not able to give the recorded pedigree
nf the animal sold as evidence ot additional value
he has no right to ask it. With these fact )elore
him, no intelligent man will buy a horse imported
from France unless be is recorded with hispedigrea
in full in tbe Percheron Stud Book of Franca.
