While all of our citizens, or many of them at least, have done well in their contributions to the Roseburg Library fund, and many have taken an active part in this very laudible un dertaking, yet we are compelled to tell the truth without invidious distinction, and say that Mrs. W. A. Smick is entitled to the credit of being hc moving and inspiring spirit in this noble enterprise, and we should say a word for Bro. Smick also, but he is in the Umily, hence we forbear. Mrs. Smick have lasting recognition by our citizens for ncr untiring services. c Moke Railroad Work. The following from a Portland paper indicates a resumption 01 ranroau activity in tnat city: At a meet mg ot the board of directors of the O.

A San Fran cisco dispatch under date of Oct. 13th, says: Notwithstanding many assertions as to a change of a route the California & Oregon, that road will be pushed as rapidly as possi ble through Northern California, to connect with the Oregon & California at Ashland. The road which it is contemplated to build into Eastern Oregon will be a branch of the California & Oregon, and will be undertaken after tho main line is completed. No author Hive surveys have yet been made of the country, and a Southern Pacific agent leaves at the end of the week to report upon the feasibility of the proposed road. i-m" ;Vi'CESAL'D,ST1NCT,0-N A little child of Mrs. Ira Hunter's had a rare , distinc tion the other evening.

A Good Word For Newspapers .We take the following extract from a newspaper of note, which fairly illustrates the remarkable friendship that spring up and grows between a faithful journal and its readers. "The strong attachment of subscribers to a well-conducted newspaper is fully confirmed by all publishers. 'Stop my paper, words of dread to beginners m business, lose their terror after a paper has been established a few years. So long as a paper pursues a just, honorable and judicious course, meeting tne wants of us customers, in all respects, the ties of, friendship between the subscrilers and the papers are as hard to break by an outside third party as the links v iui.a uiiiu urn menus in uusiness 01 social life. Occasional defeats and errors in a news paper are overlooked by those who have be come attached to it through its perusal for years. They sometimes become dissatisfied with it on account of something which has slipped into its columnst and may stop taking it; but the absence of the familiar sheet at their homes and offices for a few weeks be comes an insupportable ' privation; and they hasten to take it again, and possibly apologize lor Having stopped it. JSo friendship on earth is more constant; than that contracted by the reader for a journal which makes an earnest elfort to merit its continued support. Hence, a conscientiously conducted paper becomes a favorite in the family." ATLANTA NOW COMPLETELY DRY. Atlanta, Ga.,OcI. 19. Atlanta is to day a complete prohibition city.

We all desire pure and whole some food, and this cannot be had with the use of impure or poisonous baking powder. There can be no longer a question that all the cheajier, lower grade of baking powders con tain either! alum, lime or phosphatic acid. As loth as wej may be to admit so much against what may I have been some of our household gods, there can be no gainsaying the unanimous testimonyiof the official chemists. In.lpprl. analysts seem to find no baking powder en tirely free from some one of these objectiona ble ingredients except the Royal, and that they report aschemicallv Dure. We find of the baking powders advertised as pure, to contain, under the tests of Profs. Chandler. Habirshaw and others, nearlv twelve nir rent ot lime, while others are made from alum with no cream of tartar. This, we nrpsump accounts for their lack of leavening power as sometimes complained of by the cook, and for the bitter taste found in the biscuits so fre quently complained of by ourselves. But aside from the Inferiority of the wrl- done by these powders, the physiologists as sure us that lime and alum taken into the sys tem in such quantities as this are injurious. i ney are not decomposed bv heat nor li. solved in mixing or baking. They go with tne oread, tnerelore, into the stomach, where their physiological effects are indigestion, dys pepsia, or worse evils. The question naturally arises, wlivrlrt thc cheap baking powder makers use these things? Alum is three cents a pound, lime still cheaper, while cream of tartar costs thirty-five or forty. The reasons for the chemical purity of the Royal Baking Powder were recently given in the New York Times in an interesting de scription of a new method for refining areola, or crude cream of tartar. It seems f hat it i only under this process that cream of tartar can be freed from the lime natural to it and rendered chemically oure: that the and plant for this cost the Royal Baking Pow der Company about half a million dollars, and that they maintain exe'usive control of the ngnts. 1 Prof. McIurtrie, late chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C., in the interests of commerce, made an ex amination of this process, and reported upon the results attained in the refined cream of tartar. The following extract from his report would seem; to answer the question repeated at the head of this article, and which is so frequently propounded by the house-keeper: "I have examined the cream of tartar used by the Royal Baking Powder Company in the gpuiuciure 01 meir Daking powder, and find to be perfectly pure, and free from lime in any form. The chemical tests to which I have submited the Royal Baking Powder prove it perfectly healthful, and free from every deleterious substance." r Recommend a Hon. Editor Review. Of late years I have known man people complaining of Liver and Kidney troubles, resulting in Inflamation and Catarrh of the organs including the Bladder, etc. For the past 3 years I have been afflicted With the above diseases, and would have been in my grave ere this, but for the suc cessful treatment of my case to Dr. S.

The following was an editorial in the Coast Mail last week, written by our old friend John A. Gray. We know that he wrote it, for no one tlse writes like Gray. It is pre eminently true. Bro. Gray you solved the cause of so many suicides. have A tragedy like the one recently enacted at Roseburg is not without its serious lessons. Modern civilation is full of enigmas, and some ot them deserve the most careful considertion, a r . . n. lew years ago we used to near very many prophesies as to the benefits brought to the numan lamuy oy discoveries and inventions. Among other things it was claimed these pub lic benefactors would bring leisure, ease, com- lort ana culture. I he old burdens are well lifted now from the shoulders of men. Steam does our railroading, grinding and manufactur ing. It is no longer required that weary leet shall make haste to carry messages or climb me long stairways, but words fly faster than the wings of the wind, and elevators lift us quietly to the topmost story.

But the fancied situation is lar lrom the reality. The strain of life was never so great. Overwork of both brain and body, is slaughterine hosts of the brightest of manKino. iuen undertake so much, carry sum pruuigious anxieties, tane sucn desperate chances, have boundless ambitions, that thpv break down in helpless imbecility or rush out of the wild vortex with the hand of self-slaughter. The wisest and best of modern men do not seem to be able to meet the demands of the hour without breaking down. Herbert Spencer, the philosopher is down with "nerv ous prostration;" so is John Tyndall, the scientist; so too is iiuxiey. Multitudes, schol ars, statesmen business men, and even dis tinguished members of the medical profession are to-day amicted with insomnia, with rest lessness, with irritability, with unendura ble lassitude, with horrible dyspepsia and a general disgust ot Hie and its undertakings, iservous prostration is after them, filling them with fears, driving them to despair, and scourging to suicidal death. Could not we learn some valuable lessons from the people f si 1 1 It . iiom uie oKi worio, wno go through life at a much slower pace?
