Statesman. .
41 Years. The lean, lank editor of this
journal was 41 years old last Tuesday, and
received several 'much appreciated presents,
prominent among which was a fall from a
flight of steps At his residence that made an
impression, on his memory at least, that will
remain unt'J he doubles his present age if
"spared" so long.
" The Reason. It is said the reason W. Y.
Saunders was taken to Salem, was that a party
'-of men were making preparations to take
him from the jail in Albany and lynch him. It
cannot be possible that a law-abiding city like
Albany would tolerate such an outrage. We
know there has been intense' feeling there
against Saunders, but we have believed that
St would never take the shape of midnight
assassination. Leader. .
Cl.ERfcs. The swarm of applicants for
clerkships at the opening of the' present ses
sion of the Legislature was like unto the lo
custs of Egypt. The unnecessary clerks
employed by some of the committees show ne-"
potism, rather then economy. Rhinehart and
family are enjoying a( groundswell. They
have struck it rich . A sufficient clerical
force is necessary, but an excess of this shows
that an "understanding" was arrived at.
Satisfactory. The Allen & Lewis firm
In settling their' business in this section by
G . W. Merrill their agent, has give general
satisfaction. The firm through Mr. Merrill
will adjust all unadjusted claims, and will
do justice to all parties. If Mr. Merrill will
come here and buy the farmers produce this
year, paying the cash therefor as heretofore,
on delivery, the farmers Will be benefitted and
the firm likewise. .-
A Regular "Multom-in-Parvo." At
Winlock, a station on the Northern Pacific,
between this city and the Sound, there resides
a man of many and varied occupations, Up
on bis building, a small oncstory affair, the
following signs may be read: '-Meat Mark
'et,'' "Real Estate," "Notary Public," "Shoe
Shop," "Home Mutual Insurance," ."Lunch
Counter," "City Restaurant,". "Dry Goods
and" Groceries;" 'Counlry Produce taken in
Exchange," and "Highest Market Price Paid
for Hides." Oregonian.
.Commendable. Inasmuch as the school
law of Oregon recommends that practical
lessons on health be given in our public
schools, considerable attention is being paid
to this matter by such schools in general. By
special invitation, Capt. B. S. Pague hap
pened at the public school house at recess
time last Friday afternoon and gave the boys
in Uie Principal's room an excellent drill of
twenty minutes in calisthenics. Such drills
of, say three or five minutes per day, prove
highly profitable to any school.
China New Year. Last Sunday was the
beginning of the new China" year. The sound
of the fiddle, the kettle-drum, the gong, the
cymbals, the whistle and the swinette will com
bine to make heavenly music for the celestial
eai The fire-cracker and bomb will be tin
comfortably present, the devil will be scared
away for another year by the usual approved
methods, and incense will be burnt in honor of
the great joss. Then began the season which
lasts for one whole week, and in which no
heathen can be hired to work, for love or mon
ey. - .
The Roseburg Scandal. Quite a fur-
' 'ore has been created in all circles of sociey in
the last.week. This city seems to not take to
such sensations very kindly, and this is the
first of any magnitude for many years. A
number of persons seem to be implicated one
way and another. . At present we mention no
names and withhold our views as to the - guilt
or innocence of all concerned, for the- reason
that many conflicting stories are afloat, and
the persons accused say that they will be vin
dicated in the end, and a great deal that is
done Is only tentative, hence at present we are
impressed with the proverb of Solomon, that
"a still tongue makes a wise head." We de
plore necessity of such things, but fully be-
iieVe that right will prevail, and good will re
suit as a final issue to the whole proceedings
Tried to Takk a Train. Last Wednes
day afternoon a party of seven tramps boarded
the O. & C. south bound freight train at Suver
station, and annonncedtheir intention of tak
ing a free ride to this city. They took pos
session of a box car and when ordered out by
the conductor made hostile demonstrations and
as they outnumbered the crew of trainmen
they held the fort. Con. Bell, seeing that it
was impossible to dislodge them switched the
car onto the side track and pulled out with the
train before they knew what was up. This
crowd will meet with a warm reception and a
request tx "move on" when they reach Cor
valhs. Later. The Crowd struck town about
3o'clock yesterday. At the timeof going to press
t o clock) Marshal Pygall had five of them in
the cooler and was looking for the other two,

The north bound passenger train on the
O. & C. R. li. last Wednesday morning aljout
six miles north of Oakland near Cabin creek
came to a stand still for the day. The train
was running at only an ordinary speed for up

locomotive off the track, and fortunately no
one was hurt. The enrine was not on the
track again until about 4 o'clock in the after
noon, when it backed .down to Oakland t

We have the kindest feeling for W. S. James
of the Prohibition Star, and believe him to be
fully qualified for thc position he holds on tha

agement made a mistake in not continuing S.
Floed as manager of the paper. Mr. Floed
went through the thickest of the fight with en
ergy and ability, and his many friends in this
section are not in sympathy wilh the manage
ment's action. Neither do we believe that the
Star will receive the support it has received in
the past from this section.
The nibbfer is the man who enters a store or
restaurant, runs his fingers into every open
barrel, then goes to the cheese box and cuts off
a slice, then as a matter of course must have a
few crackers. He then proceeds to the show
window and swallows some- caramele and a
chunk of candy, asking the proprietor in thc
meantime "how he sells 'em 'ere apples?'
But after eating the biggest one in the pile I
he concludes that "they're not good ealin' ap
ples nohow," and helping himself to a chew of j
tobacco with the remark that he has "plenty
in his pocket but it isn't good," he then con
soles himself with the idea that he compli
mented the proprietor on the value of his
wares! Nibblers are the biggest kind of nuis

There have been introduced about fifteen
bills, at this session of the-legislature, on pub
lie school matters. House Biil 72 by Repre
sentative Blundell of this county, fixing the
duties of County Superintendents is a good
measure. House Bill N. 59, introduced by
the same gentleman touches upon school work
and is also a good bill. House Bill No. 60
touching upon the duties of Directors and
Clerks was introduced by Hon. W. F. Benja
min, In ibese bills, these gentlemen have un
doubtedly made an honest effort to make .the
duties of our school officers more definite.
The last bill says emphatically who may and
who may not draw public money. In about
30 per cent of the dislricts in this state a cfiild
to receive the benehts 01 the public money
must have been registered by the clerk at the
last census taken. In othtr districts evidence
of residence, no matter how long a lime, n the
district rniarantees a child the benefits of pub
lie money. Uniformity should prevail in school
work over the State. These are most excel
lnt l.ille and if nnpd will brinf about some
Ions desired results.

It 1$ characteristic of mankind to resent
any thmi tha t is offered in opposition to their
opinion or creed. Notwithstanding their
differences, ninety nine in a hundred may join
with jone accord against the remaining one
and rejvel in it as a luxury. If false premises
are the basis for reasoning the conclusion
must J be false. In regard to a book called
"Nature's Divine Revelation" I confess that
I am, a student of the book of nature which in
my opinion is, to say the least, as divine as
any interpretation of it in book form. We
find nature to be the universe of matter and
of mind. The aggregate of every thing that
exists, Truth is a fact in nature. When
stated! in language, it is in conformity with
fact, j Truth in tlje aggregate is the sum total
of all that ever did, does now, or ever will
exist, j
Some define matter as a form of spirit
tangible to the human senses, and spirit a form
of mailer nol cognizable by the senses. That
all cognizable forms, matter, are incarnations of
the infinite spirit of the universe. As forms,
they are finite and perishable, but the material
of which they are composed are indestructible;
and fhen those forms are destroyed they
enter jinto othei forms. Thus the infinite is
being' constantly resolved into the finite, and
the finite into the infinite. Such is the work
of nature which is demonstrated.
Spiritualism tostand the test of investigation
must occupy the premises of an axiomatic or
self evident truth. Finite mind cannot com
prehend the infinite. Infinite attributes are
incommunicable.' The five senses arc the
windows of the mind, without sensation there
could, be no consciousness; without conscious
ness no intelligence, and without intelligence
there j would be no mind. Truth must be its
own witness. It must approve itself to our
senses, our reason and moral sense, and truth
is: always : consistent wilh itself. The great
differences of opinion arise from ignorance.
Men tuay be honest and sincere in their be
lief of opinion and yet be in error. We sub
sist niaterially not much upon "husks" nor
upon inorganic substances, but upon the organ
ic derived from the inorganic which are under
favorable circumstances congenial to our
physipal development. As the intellect de
pends much upon physical form and develop -mentj
we infer from "Mrs. IJeame's intimation
that ijf a person is born right it obviates the
necessity of being born again. But to live
again a thing must be born again. Now if
spiritualists claim that they are indestructible
they must have cniinated from an inexhausti
ble source, for all living creatures arc endowed
with more or less intelligence. If the doctrine
of spiritualism appertains to the intangible,
the imponderable, the invisible, the impene

The case of Green against the Coos Bay
Wagpn Road company was tried without a jury
and Submitted in the U. S. circuit court on
catui.i,v
, '
In 1874 defendants bonded their
road jand land grant, comprising 110,000 acres
to A iT. Green, of San Francisco; to sell for
them; at $1 per acre, agreeing to pay him a
commission of $5000 when the land was con-
veyeu and the money paid. In 1575 Ureen

sold
lhe land to Tohn Miller, a sort of "onf-
side
man"for Crocker, Stanford and Hunt-
mgtbn. The company had a patent
to 35-1

to
Miller and received their money, and paid
Greejn $2000 as his commission. Shortly
after MUer

arrested on a charge of em-
preferred by etal., and hc assigned
the land hchad paid for and his contract for
the Remaining 75,000 acres. In 1876 the
Wagon Road company received a patent
to the rest of the land and they called upon
Crocker, Stanford & Co. to take this land
and Ipay for it, which they declined to do.
The,' company thereupon brought suit in the
U, S. circuit court to enforce a vendor's lien
against the whole tract to secure the balance
of the purchase money contracted to be paid
by Miller. The court decided that Ihecqmpa
ny had a vendor's lien and could sell all the
land to secure their contract price. Crocker
& Co. carried the case to the supreme cour1
0r the United States. No decision was ever
readied in the case there, as before it was

Austin, Tex., Jan. 21. The vast cattle
ranges in this state are drying up. No new
grass is growing, and a great and ultimate
loss of stock is inevitable. Cattle men who
have just returned from the southwest sections
of the state, beyond and below San Antonia
tell of .riding for days over parched prairies
covered with dried grass, and it is a section of
Texas which in the past years has been one
great carpet of green grass, about the area of
Pennsylvania. In the northwest, from
Wichita Falls to Fort Elliott, the cry of the
cattle men is rain, rain . In Northern and
Central Texas, around Dallas, Fort Worth,
Sherman and Waco, where the wheat and
oilier small grains of Texas are grown, the
situation is no better -than in the districts, and
the wheat fields must all be ploughed up in
the spring, rendering the outlook for farmers
gl omy. Rain has not fallen since Sept. I.

A Daughter Dor 11 to Secretary Whitney.
Washington, Jan, 23. Secretary Lamar's
letter calling on the governor of Oregon to
show cause on or before April 18, 1887, why
the list of swamp lands, known as list No. 5
should not be revoked and canceled, makes an
interesting abstract of Special Agent Shackel
ford s report The only report of this agent
on file is the one forwarded from Salem Oct.
21- "l,t" lhe report he encloses certain affi-
lav"s bearing on the swamp lands. The
affidavit of Peter French, a large swamp
land owner, as regards money paid directly or

Shackelford sent lhe affidavit to French for
correction, but one the adviceof I-rsnchsat
torneys, Written & Gleay, of this city, it was
not relumed. Charles Alexander, another
large swamp land owner, was asked for an
affidavit of the amount of money paid J. H.
Evans for Ankeny, but Alexander declined
to make a statement on the ground that it
would compromise him . - McConneghy, who
held swamp land under title from Owen,
makes an affidavit to the payment of money
to Evans for Ankeny. Reference is made
to an affidavit of J . II. Fisk, of Portland,
wherein he recites that Owen had informed
him (Fisk) or Special Agent McCormick,
that he paid Ankeny's expenses during bis
examination of Oregon swamp lands.
Shackelford slates that he has in his pos
sesion the affidavit of W. H. Odell, wher the
latter details an attempt of Owen to bribe
him, while surveyor general, to designate
deputy surveyors to make surveys of all swamp
land; als of an attempt of a swamp land
claimant to induce him to take an interest in
in swamp lands claimed by them. Affidavits
of Geo. II. Small and Isaac Foster show that
Ankeny did not inspect lands in the vicinity of
Chewaucan valley, Paulina marsh, Silver lake
and Warm Spring meadows, to the amount oj
36000 acres in list No. 5. The agent says that
conclusive proof of fraud and collusion of
Ankeny with thc swamp land claimants is found

It Falls as l-'lat on a British Audience as
Did "Pinafore.
New YORK, Jan. 24. Times' London ca
blegram: "Ruddy Garc; or, the Witch s
Curse," was produced at the Savoy thtiter
Saturday evening, and Gilbert and Sullivan
probably realized that they are face to face
with thc first real failure in their- career.
When the curtain finally fell there was hissing,
the first ever heard in the Savoy theater,
The first act of the opera went off fairly, but
the second fell flat from the very beginning,
and was a gloomy and tedious failure. The
feeling is very general," among both critics kad
professionals, that the thing cannot hold the
stage any length of time. The name is de-
cidedly against it, and the only features which
the audience regarded as notable smack of a
music hall. J

footing. This was attended with the creation
of a board of college preachers, six in number,
to whom the chapel services and pastoral care
of the Students were committed. President
Elliot says: "The success of the new method
during the first three months of the current year
has surprised even those who advocated it most
strongly." The treasurer's rejort shows tha
the invested fuad of the university amounts to
$Sil9t772 u increase over the previous year
of about $2fo,ooo.

TAe Only Way to Conquer Dyspepsia-
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
teller's Stomach Bitters eradicates the most
inveterate forms of indigeston by restoring
vitality to the alimentary 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
effects of that standard tonic, which possesses
alterative properties that greatly enhance its
beneficial influence, and give a permanence
to its effects which they would not otherwise
possess.
Roberts Creek Reform Club. V
The last meeting of the above named club
was held Jan. 15th, at Roberts Creek school

il such a one could be had that has been held
this winter. G. W. Wonacott gave an excel;
lent address, telling of the evils caused by the
sale and use of liquor and how the influence of
the saloon outshine the pleasures of home, and
warning parents to make homevattractive for
their children, advising everyone to fight the
great king alcohol that L roaming abroad in
our fair land seeking whom be may devour,
He also highly complimented the executive
power of the club in their management by still
'holding the fort" and keeping the house over
flowing with auditors at every meeting. After
a recess the club entered into a general tem
perance revival with songs, declamations, etc
most noticeable among which were by Mr.
Frank Rose, Mr. Joseph Rice, Misses Carrie
Rose and Hattie Bush, also a song by Mr.
Montague showing that oratory and dramatic
effect are tool dead in the hearts of the young
people on Roberts Creek. The reading of lhe
Temperance Day Star by Miss Millie Mc
Laughlin was one of the events of the evening
being listened to wilh profound attention by
all present The next meeting of the club
will be held at South Deer creek Feb. 5th
when by special request G. W. Wonacott will

LEGISLATURE PROCEEDINGS.
In the House Monday a resolution was
adopted calling for inquiry into the act of ex
Secretary Earhart, in inserting in the pub
lished laws and joint resolutions passed at the
special session held in November, 1885, a doc!
ument entitled "Senate Joint Resolution -No.
2," which, it appears, was not signed by the
presiding officers of the two Houses,' as re
quired by law; and it is alleged that a large
amount of money has been paid out, without
authority, under this resolution. The docu-.
nienl, as it appears on pages i2Sand 129, "Laws
of Oregon Special Session 1885." This may
become an important matter.
Dr. W. II. Byrd has been appointed by
Superintendent Clow as physician for the pen
itcntiary. This is a very good appointment.
The position is worth $5oo per annum and i
what might be called a "soft sit,"
A series of portraits of the territorial and
and state governors of Oregon, thirteen in all,
has been painted by Mr. Cogswell, the well
known artist. Six of these were purchased by
order of a former legislativt assembly, and thc
remaining seven, now complete, are offered to
the slate. A bill is before the legislature to
authorize the Secretary of State to purchase
these portraits, so as to complete the gallery.
The pictures are said to be excellent workjs of "
art, and the state, having taken a part of the
Series, will doubtless also take the remainder.
ex-secretary earhart exonerated.
The proposition made in the House Wed
nesday to investigate the conduct of Secretary
Earhart in paying large sums of money to Capt.
John MuIIan under authority of senate joint
resolution No 2 of the late special session, was
made without knowledge of the facts. Thi
joint resolution No. 2 came to the secretary o
state without thc signature either of the presi
dent of the senale or of the speaker of the
house, as the rule requires, yet inasmuch as the
journals of the session showed that it did pass
both Houses, it was deemed proper to publish
it in the appendix to the laws. The resolution
not being properly authenticated ls authority
was denied by the secretary of state, who re
fused to audit the accounts of Capt. Mullan,
and they remain in the office of the secretary
of state unpaid for want of authority. No
suras of money have been paid to Capt Mul
lan by the state treasurer or warrants drawn in
his favor for any amount whatever by the sec
retary of state under or by the authority of sen-
ale joint resolution No. 2.
Clevelvnd May Visit Oregon. A
well known democrat in Portland claims to
have received a letter from a friend at the na
tional capital, to whom President Cleveland,
intimated that he may visit the northwest the -
coming summer. The Washington man
writes: "Oregon and Washington have been
brought .more or less to the attention of the
president since his induction into office, and
he is anxious to learn more about those sec
tions than he can by hearsay. Recently he
told me that in all probability he will visit
the northwest in the summer of this y$ar."
