Petition. The petition to remove the
license in this city upon laborers who make
and sell their own goods is a very proper
thing. We hope the city council will hear
the prayer of tne crtitioners for they are
many.
- Thb Bhntly Raised. The steamer Bent
ley, recently sunk at Albany, was raised on
Wednesday the I2inst. with but little trouble.
The damage is not so great as was supposed.
It is estimated that she can be repaired for
$IOOQ.
A Good Botcher Knife, J. F. Hudson
across the Deer Creek bridge makes the best
butcher and hunting knives found in the
market. All sizes. Warranted good or no
pay.
Protracted Meeti no. There is a series
of protracted meetings now being held in the
Southern Methodist church in this city by
the Baptist. Every one should attend these
meetinps and participate in the good work .
Nearino Completion. The iron for the
draw of the Morrison street bridge at Portland
has arrived from San Francisco and trucks
are engaged in drawing portions of it to the
foot of Morrison street. The completion of
the bridge will be a matter ol a very few days,
now that the draw portion is here
Connected. The new telegraph line is
connected at last and it is expected that direct
communication will soon be had between San
Francisco and Toronto. A few days will
be required to test the wires and battery and
then business will begin in earnest. It is ex
pected that the Western Union will cut rates
as soon as its rival starts up.
A Social Party. On last Friday even
ing a party was given at the residence of Trof.
M, F. Jones for the young folks. Quite a
number were present, and all kinds of games
were introduced and after a number had been
played they were invited to partake of some
refreshments after which they took their de
parture havin7 Fn'mrml rbomcol
young folks can.
Select Master Masons. The Grand
Council of Royal and Select Master Masons
of the State of Oregon assembled at Masonic
hall, East Portland, at 10:30 A. M. Jan. 12,
and elected and installed the following grand
theers for the current year. Christopher,

. son, steward ;M. Stoker, sentinel.
Adelpiiian Literary Society. This
society held its most interesting session of the
season on last Friday night. Excellent music
was furnished by several of the members and
Mr. David Clements. The relative mental
ability of men and women was discussed with
considerable vigor, but the board of five judges
rendered a decision that the mind of women is
not inferior to that of man. The Junior band
furnished some of their best music for the soci
ety. The members attend very regularly.
To Have A Bridge, The citizens of Ore
gon City have taken the initialoiy steps to
ward having a bridge across the Willamette at
that place. On Friday, a vote of "bridge"
or "no bridge" was taken, and the result was
196 for and 12 against. The city will ad
vance $1,000, the county $4000, and a syndi
cate of land owners across the river the rest of
the money necessary to build a suspension
bridge aboue 70 feet above the water and be
tween 400 and 500 feet long. It is extremely
probable that the bridge will be built.
To DAM the Columia. Maj. Jonea, of
the U. S. engineer department suggests to the
legislature the scheme of damming the Colum
bia as the head of the narrows above The Dal
les so as to cover the rapids at Celilo. A dam
at the point named would have to be eighty
feet high. There would have to be a canal
and locks about one mile long. One danger
attending the project would be in case of the
dam giving away The Dalles would be flooded.
The legislative committee is somewhat in
lavor of pushing the work at the Cascades.
Democrat.
Poets and Poetry of America, The
writer had the pleasure of listening to Rev. J
K. N. Bell's lecture on the "Foets and Poetry
of America," a few years since, and can say it
was one of the most interesting lectures ho ever
heard. Thislccture was written in answer toone
of Dr. J. M. F. Browne, of Portland, on the
"Poets and Pootry of Greece," which was de
livered to a Salem audience several years since.
Dr. Bell has a wide reputation as a pleasant
and able lecturer, and it is to be hoped he may
have a crowded house on Tuesday night next
The lecture will be delivered at the Congrega
tional church for the benefit of the literary and
social society. An admission price of ten cents
will be taken at the door to defray the expenses
of the lecture. Last Sunday Statesman.
IT was COLD. Oregon legislators may
thank their lucky stars that they can ride to
and from their duties at the state capital
through green fields of growing grain and
grass, with the thermometer at such a stage that
they need not suffer if they forget their over
coats, or should have none. A few dnys ago
a car load of Dakota legislators were on their
way to Bismarck to attend the opening of the
legi slature. The cold was so intense, 40 deg,
below zero or thereabouts, that the long iron
truss rods under the Pullman car in which
they were riding were snapped and the car
practually had its back broken, and the legis
tors had to be dumped out at Fargo. Of a
verity it may be truly remarked that "it was
a cold day when they got left." Or.

troubled Uncle Bosier for he was always full
of play. How oft have we watched our aged

Editor Review: In looking over the
locals of the Plaindealer I notice a very good
report from Glendale signs Mollie and it made

some fine out door music which we fully ap
preciate I can assure you.
Some time ago I wrote you and suggested
that it would be a good plan to publish in
your paper the bundays that would turnish us
with preaching. The Rev. Culp has a notice
and that is all; a notice from the pulpit wont
fill the bill. Sunday evening Rev. Smick
preached us a sermon that those who heard
ought to take heed; at the close of his service.
He made an offer to furnish us with a series
of meetings which was excepted. So lookout
for a first class revival.

Ed. Review: I thought I would write
in regard to your paper, I am well pleased
with it, though I have not paid for it but I
will soon? I was in hopes of seeing Roseburg
before tkis lime myself but I could not sell

scarce. I received your holiday number and
am well pleased, I let my neighbors read the
paper; they all think Douglas county is the
place to go, I will conic out there as soon as
lean sell out. It is too cold here for me; it
has been since November 15th, to the 7lh of
January, from 26 to 36 bc!ow zero, and the

summer there will be others that will come.
My lest regards to D. S. West. '

The Only Way to t'oiujacr Dyspepsia'
1
It is perfectly preposterous to introduce
pepsin and other artificial solvents into the
stomach, in the expectation that they will as
sist digestion by acting on the food itself.
They will not. Nor is it possible thus to over
come despepsia. The only way to conquer
that disorder, and prevent the numerous dis
eases and disabilities which it assuredly pro
vokes, is to renew the activity of gastric
action by strengthening the stomach. Hos-
tctter's Stomach Bitters eradicates the most
inveterate forms of indigeston by restoring
vitality to the ailnientary organs, and those
which are tributary to them. The liver, the
bowels, the kidneys and the nerves, no less
than the stomach, experience the invigorative

With laughing lips, and faces, mild. !
Are romping, scampering, little boys j
Made, seemingly, for naught but noise.
Charlie has seven summers seen, '
Their ages, three years intervene:
Thus making Bcnnie only four,
Whose age does puzzle him quite sore.
They are to me a source of iov.
Though oft they other folks annoy.
So oft my wishes they'll olicy,
When they would answer others, "may."
So I may only hope and pray
That God may watch their walk alway.
And make two useful, bustling men
Of my small brothers, Charles and Ben .
I wrote these lines six years ago.
! Now, where the daisies soon will blow,
Does Charlie stand with looks profound
And gaze on Bennic's lowly mound.
Subdued's the hope that lured me then
! To write my dream of coming men .
Subdued's the hope, with drawn the giants
Of one bright star for temperance.
I - '
But now I haye no fears for Ben.
j I had not when he lived, but then
I've learned through striving to endure,
' That strongest homes stand insecure.
Temptation lurks in every hold.
And innocence is bought with gold .
Ah! through the fleeting years to come
Must Charlie face the demon, rum?
So I may only hope and pray
That God may watch his walks alwaj ;
And should his time be seventy years,
His may be paved with scoffs and sneers.
Oh may behave the wondrous stay
To keep him in the better way.
And when all earthly tics arc riven
Oh may he join my star, in heaven

fulness the blessing of good health and a sound
constitution are, we can only realize when we
have lost them, and when it is too late, to re
pair the damage. Notwithstanding these
facts, thousands of persons daily jeopardize
not only their health, but their lives, and the
healths and lives of others, by using articles
,'n the preparation of their food the purity and
heallhfulncss of which they know nothing,
l'erhaps a lew cents may have been saved, or
it may have been more convenient to obtain
the articles used, and the housekeeper takes
'the responsibility and possibly will never
know the mischief that has been wrought.
Paterfamilies may have spells of headache, the
children may have lost their appetites, or look
pale; if so, the true cause is rarely suspected.
The weather, the lack of out-door air, or some
other cause is given, and the unwholesome
poisonous system of adulterated food goes on.
Next to the flour, which should be made of
good, sound wheat and not ground too fine,
the veast or baking powder, which furnishes
the rising properties, is of the greatest impor
tance, and of the two we prefer baking pow
der, and always use the Royal, as we thereby
retain the original properties of the wheat, no
fermentation tak'ng place. The action of the
Royal Baking Powder upon the dough is sim
ply to swell it and form little cells are filled
with carbonic acid gas, which passes off during
the process ef baking.
The Royal is made from pure gnpe acid,
and it is the action of this acid upon highly
carbonized bicarbonate of soda that generates
the gas alluded to: and these ingredients are
so pure and so perfectly fitted, tested and
adapted to each other, that the action is mild
and permanent, and is continued tluring the
whole time of baking, and no residue of
poisonous ingredients remain to undetmine the
health, no heavy biscuits, no sour bread, but
if directions are followed, every article will be
found sweet and wholesome.

EZBOT OX THE DEATH OF EX-QOV-A.C.
GIBBS.
He left his native land and died
On Albion's white cliffed shore:
. His friends were sad his relict cried,
When they heard he was no more; .
We knew him long, long years ago
When he was young and fair,
He slung the axe, he studied law,
And lived on frugal fare. .
He rose to eminence in the state.
As high as man could go,
And by Herculean efforts great
Kept his state from intestine woe.
He was beloved by those he knew.
Was Ixnintiful and just.
Of enemies he had but few,
And in his God he put his trust.
Then let him rest where he's now laid,
With his ancestry before him;
His well earned laurels can never fade,
For his countrymen adore him.
His career a lesson to the young doth show
Which they may profit by surely,
To leach the path they all should go,
And live their lives as purely,
And those that are left in sad despair
May the Almighty love them,
Keep their future from earthly care
Then He will to heaven remove them.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Minerva S. Perdue was born in Jack
sonville, Illinois, March 5, 1850. In 1852
her father, Mr. Ogle, remdVed to Douglas
county, Oregon, when she married Mr. J. E.
Perdue April 25th, 1871. It February 1872
she located with her husband near Little Rivei
in Rice county, where she made a profession
of religion in 1878. Her husband b'eing elec.
ted County Treasurer, they remoyed to Lyons
the county seat, it 1880 where she joined the
M. E. Church, since which she has always
been a most zealous and conscientious church
worker. She died at tho residence of Alferd
Lang, Lawrence, Massachusetts December
20th, 1886, after a long and painful illness and
was hurried in this city January 4th, 1887.
Her life is so well known among us, that no
eulogy is necessary to perpetuate the memory
of her virtues, or her self-sacrificing devotion
to her family and home. Ever ready with sym
pathy or consolation for the distressed, or a
free purse for the needy, with unbounded hos
pitality and words of cheer and kindly greeting
she endeared herself to a large circle of friends
aIio, with the whole community, deeply feel
icr loss. As expressed in words at the funer-
services; "I think the testimony of all who
new her may be summed up in the four words,
ind, amiable, affectionate, faithful. In a
wide circle of acquaintances, she was univer
sally respected and revered for her virtues as a
fe, a mother, a philanthropist and a chris
tian. She leaves a husband and three chil-
ren who, though they sorrow, sorrow not as
those who have no hope. To the husband it
must always be a satisfaction to remember
that he was at her bedside at the last, and that
everything human skill could do, had been
one for her recovery, though all in vain. In
their heavy affliction, her and their many
friends sympathize deeply with the family in
their bereavement.
The Right of Opinion.
Whenever an opinion is advanced, however
correct it may be, which seems new or strange
it is often fiercely assailed especially by the
prcd judicial and ignorant or by those wliosc
interests it conflicts with. Also when an opin"
ion or institution which has long been held true
or sacred is attacked, the predjudices of their
dhcrcnts and advocates will be aroused, but
this proves nothing for or against such institu
tion or opinion. If all mankind should accept
an error, it is nevertheless an error. When
opinions are free and investigation untramcled
the truth must ultimately and powerfully pre'
vail. When the Egyptian hears of the sacred
ncss of leeks or onions or of cats in fact any
of his six hundred gods being questioned he
views it as the grossest of heresy. When a
Mohammedan hears the authority of the koran
denied he is ready and willing to shed blood in
its defense. The Mohammedan claims that the
koran was written in heaven by an angel in
the interest of religion which must be estab
lished by fire and the sword. The Latter Day
Saint claims to have a new revelation of God s
will and a true record of his word. There are
many others which we will not at present men
tion but in view of such claims before us would
wc not be safe in pronouncing such claims the
greatest frauds ever imposed upon mankind as
they have caused untold misery and drenched
the earth with human gore. Some of the
most ancient superstitions bave given way in
the glaring light of knowledge commerce, and
social intercourse with the European. Many
of the old idols have fell never to be raised
again, such as Issus, Osirus, Memnon and the
sphinx, but the sun the most rational ideal God
(being the truth within itself) still exists. Sci
ence says the true God is infinite, science is
not susceptible of entering into minute specifi
cation of God. Science finds not a personal
God who has oral conversation with men but it
finds cause which it cannot explain science may
yet elucidate it more fully but men cannot
without more scientific knowledge. With our
natural faculties, and a great universe Spread
out before us who but a fool can say there is
no cause. Now in conclusion there are some
men in the world and not very old ones either
who revolt at every tiling but hoodlumism; we
sometimes call them gentlemen (though it is a
misnomer.y When they attend a public meet
ing their deportment often goes to show that
they consider that their creek is ! questioned
and they wish tc resent it. Sometimes it ap
pears that they entertain little if any respect
for others. We regret to say that we could
not with propriety introduce them to civilized
and refined people. L. C. II

A Reply.
In a recent number of The Review I see
a very materialistic criticism on spiritualism
and its phenomena "so called" and las an
earnest investigator of the same find there an
innocence of the subject pitiable to one who
works according to the precepts "Prove all
things and hold fast unto that which is good."
If believing in miracles makes men and women
better I would question the Tightness of re
moving their ancient landmark by which
they steer toward a heavenly post, without
religion a man if indeed not orphaned and
desolate he is wandering in a far country amid
the swine and husks of crass materialism.
But if in his indeavor to grasp and solve the
great problem of life and its path leyond the
confine of flesh, who dare dictate the method?
Men aud women of the highest moral and
mental culture have not thought this rapidly
increasing religious philosophy beneath their
notice. Rev. R. Heber "Newton, America',
great humanitarian, Profs. Hare, Crooks,
Zoll ner, Flammorrion, Alice and I'hebc Gary,
Queen Victoria and Prof. Edison, the great
trance medium whose sciences has turned the
world into a great whispering, are not ashamed
to investigate and advocate this much con
demned but healthy philosophy. All spiritual
ists agree with Mr. Hill regarding causes and
their effect. They as a body do not believe
in miracles at all, but relegate all phenomena
and their results to the region of law which is as
unalterable as ite Author "with whom there is
no yariablcness neither shadow of turning.'
Spiritualism is calling ' loudly for a better
order of things by which all men and women
and little children may be better fed, housed
and educated, and I may add, better born.
If Mr. Hill will read a book called "Nature's.
Divine Revelation" he may find answers to all
his interrogations. For my part I cannot see as
yet how it would benefit the race to know
aught of the back of the moon, or what is be
yond, beyond. For the love of liberty do not
curtail others to the debasing privilege of see
ing only as you see. If one looks through a
tin horn at the big end and points the other
end downward he will see but a small portion
ofthe globe. Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Reame.

Deceased was born in Marion county Ortgon,

fourteen years and returned to Oregon. He

BROWN. Jonathan Boshier Brown was

in Oakland, Or., Jan. 13, 18S7. He emi
grated from Iowa in 1853 and came to the
Umpqua valley in the spring of 1853 locating
a home on Deer creek. Of a numerous family
there survive him five girls and one boy, living
at different points on the Pacific coast. The
last three years of his life were spent with the
family of P. G. Eubanks Esq., (his son-in-law)
and every thing was done to make him com
fortable in his declining years, he retained
his wonted vigor until within a few days
when he succomed to the grim destroyer, old
age claiming its victim. He was constantly
attended by his daughter and numerous friends
and every comfort surrounded him to the last.
For twenty years he had been a member of
the M. E. Church South and lived a consis
tent, christian life. The day before his death
he expressed his love for his friends and his
hope of a glorious immortality. The funeral
sermon was preached by Elder P. C. Parker
from the text "If a man die shall he live
again? All the days of my appointed time will
I.wait till my change come;" and a more elo
quent and instructive discourse has seldom
been listened to. The body was followed to
the grave by a large concourse of sympathizing
fnends who will long hold "Uncle BoshierV
name in kindly remembrance, for "surely
their good works do follow them."
