Arm Broke?. Mrs W. B. Rohrer had the misfortune of having her left arm broken by falling last Sunday morning. She stepped out on the porch where there was ice and slipped, and endeavoring to catch with her left hand btoth bones were fractured between the wrist and ellww. Dr. Miller was called and reduced the fracture, and she is getting along as well as could be expected. The School House is Safe. Three carpenters viz: Andrew Jones, John Howard and David Clements, examined the school house yesterday, and find that it is in no dan ger whatever ol being crushed by even five feet of snow upon it. Incase of a severe wind storm from the south they are somewhat di vide" as to its safety. The directors having examined into the facts consider it safe and will send their children right along. They will not take any responsibility however one way or the other. Fast Traveling; A gentleman of in quiring turn of mind, who owns a slop watch yesterday timed one of the fastest sleds on the toboggan slide on Jefferson street. It was just twenty two seconds making the trip from the east side of Seventh to the cast side of Third. The distance is 1060 feet. This would make . the lime at the rate of a mile in 1 148 equal to a good race horse. If it were not for the Willamette river and other obstructions, the trip to New' York could be made in 89 hours 32 minutes and 18 seconds, and the distance around the world in 31 days 5 hours and 42 minutes. Oregonian. Roseburg Public School, Since the last annual school meeting there have been enrolled in the Roseburg public school 206 boys and 171 girls, making a total of 377 pu pils. . The average number belonging for the time mentioned has been 240 pupils; as a rule the attendance in tha winter is greater than in the summer months. During the last month, the average number belonging was 248 or nearly fifty pupils to each of the five teachers. In looking ever the reports of the leading pub lic schools in this state, it is thought that from forty to fifty pupils should be the maximum number sent to any one teacher. Compromised Himself. Tlus morning Governor Pennoyer while on his way to Sa. lem reached the Sfark street ferry at the same time the Salvation army did also on the way to Salem, with drums, trumpets and banners. Outsiders noticed the combination and re marked that the governor had been redeemed at last. This seemed to be an unreasonable move, for one who knows " the natural antag. onism between politics and religion, cannot see how the governor can spend much time with salvation so long as he had a lot of un finished business on the table, and a legisla ture in session. It was finally learned that the governor and the army met by chance, that the army was going to Salem to save Senators Wager and Siglin and to labor with Representative Roberts, but it cannot be de nied that Governor Pennoyer was in a com promising situation, especially when he inad vertently pulled out his red handkerchief. Eve. Democrat, A Faithful Night's Work. On the night of Feb. 3d, the passenger train left Ash land at the regular time with the following crew, J. F. Kearney, conductor; Ed. Elliott, engineer; R. Allen, fireman; F. Lucavish, brakesman; and B. F. Harvey, baggageman. The snow was falling thick and fast, and when they reached Grant's Pass the worse was realized. All lines down, no train orders, and a fearful road ahead. Ed. rang the bell, Kearney shouted "all aboard," and away they sped. Soon a slide of snow, then a small blockade, then one tree after another across the road must be removed, and the crew waist deep in" snow worked all night, with the fear ol a collision before them, expecting the south bound train. The boys being wide awake, made a disaster, however, almost ira possible. At Riddle they received orders which had been sent the evening before, that the south bound train had been annulled at Rose burg, and then they came along all right, arj riving at Roseburg at 10 o'clock a. m. Thurs day the 4th, only about 5 hours late. Such a night' labor is seldom performed, and these boys deserve much credit, for their un tiring, energy to bring that train through that night over that dangerous road: Allen's wit could not be frozen, but flowed freely, and was very encouraging to all hands. These are laithful servants. LOCAL BREVITIES. Frost. Coasting, Sleighing. Don't forget the concert. Did you get a sleigh ride? Snow, rain and sunshine. St. Valentines day next Monday. .'

DISPATCHES. flrutann Jits a Mow tcilh the Vost-oflicc OffielaU. Washington, Feb. 6. During the pres ent session Mr. Hermann has made special efforts to secure and increase of serevice on Oregon routes; among others Canyon City to Burns, Eugene to Siuslaw, and Lakevicw to Summer lake via Paisley, but has always been denied on the grounds of it not being expedi ent. Yesterday sharp words occurred be tween him and postoflice officials. He charged discrimination against Oregon, saying her service has been unjustifiably cut down, and many routes discontinued, on the plea of economy. Such economy as is generally practiced he characterized as demagogism. The officials insisted that Oregon has been generously dealt with, taking into considera tion ker postoffice receipts. Hermann re torted by asking if it is the theory of the gov ernmcnt that the mail service is intended to be a money-making machine. I le insisted that every American community is entitled to reas enable mail facilities, regardless of ex pense, and if his request for additional service was not granted, he should feel compelled to place the department on trial before congress and demand an investigation. $21,000,000 FOR DEFENSE. Washington, Feb. 7. The senate to day passed without debate twin bills appropri ating twenty-one million dollars for coast de fenses: LIBEL SUIT AGAINST "THE OREGONIAN." Sanfrancisco, Feb. 7: Cornelius J. Mur phy has sued the Portland Oregonian to re cover $50,000 damages for libel. Plaintiff al leges.that on the 29th of January last defen dant published an article stating that plaintiff had committed a number of forgeries in Port land, and was sent to the penitentiary and par doned out by the governor, and lias secured a position as day inspector in the San Francisco custom house. Defendant is charged with saying: "If that is the kind of stock they want for custom officers then our penitentiary can furnish a fuli supply." EARTHQUAKES. AT TERRE HAUTE. Chicago, Feb. 6, A special to the News from Terre Haute Ind. says: This city was visited this morning by two severo shocks of earthquake, which according to the testimony of those who experienced them, were more se vere than that of last fall. The shocks came in quick succession, and were followed by a heavy rumbling found, which awakened the soundest sleepers. The direction seemingly was from southeast to northwest, and the shocks were felt more in the eastern part of the city. Houses were shaken severely, -causing windows to rattle and chandeliers to sway perceptibly. SEVERAL SHOCKS IN ILLINOIS. Springfield, 111. Feb. 6. This city was visited by an earthquake shortly after 4 o'clock this morning. A difference of opinion exists as to the number of shocks. Some claim there were five distinct shocks following eaclf other in rapid succession, while others claim there were but three. The time between the first vibration to the last was from fifteen to twenty seconds. The first shock was the most dis tinct, the ones following diminishing in inten sity until the vibrations closed. No damage was done. s fs mTssOURI. St. Louis, Feb. 6. A slight shock of earth quake was felt in this cily between 4 and 4:10 this morning. The movement was barely no ticeable in the central portion, but in the out skirts and suburbs several persons were awak ened by the shock. In the southern part ' o the city pictures moved from walls, but no damage of any kind is yet reported. Reports from Southeastern Illinois and Southern Mis souri state that the shock was also felt, but it seems to have been no more severe than here IN CALAFORNIA. LompOC, Cal. Feb. 6. Quite a heavy earthquake was felt here last night at 10:55. The vibration was west to east. Crater Lake Road Again. Ed. Review: Is it not time for the subject of the proposed road via Crater lake to East ern Oregon, which was tabled last fall to le taken up. The necessity and feasibility of the route is established beyond successful con tradiction. More foreseen bcuefit is in the connection of Southeastern and Southwestern Oregon to-day thnn in tho connection by road of California and Oregon forty years ago. Some one opened that route for us, now is a chance for us to show our hand. We wan t a legal survey of this route, then we can see how our county surveyors reports will compare with the report of Mr. Arlington and party. A road over which one span of horses could take 1200 lbs would suffice for moving stock and cost less by one-half than a road foi fricght ing purposes. One season driving stock over this route would leave more extra money in Douglas county than the road will cost. Buy ers will have a shorter and cheaper route to drive over, consequently, can and will pay ad vanced prices. Let Douglas county build this road, she has the muscle, tools and all the supplies within her herders. When the road is finished, Douglas county has it with her outlay to her self. If this is not a prop er version of the matter, let us hear from the opposition. We hear of the route surveyed by Mr. Briggs and party being in opposition to the East Umpqua route, here we take issue as it is only a co-worker, showing the necessi ty of such an enterprise. Being well acquain ted with Mr, Briggs and some of his party we cannot question their ability. Our only preference of the East Umpqua route over Mr. Briggs' route is, it taps the county more centcrablc, giving all concerned equal advan tage. As some of our citizens both public and private may doubt our judgment (they have a right) and feel a little financial timidity, we suggest that we build one road at a time, agreeing that two would not be amiss. Should we fail, let our Canyonville friends push their enterprise and call on us for hel p. X. Y. Z. Couger Tracks. A gentleman well versed in woodcraft states that while coining into town yesterday morning by the Barnes road he saw in the light, freshly fallen snow the tracks of a large Cougar which had been prowl ing around Johnson's slaughter house. The animal had crossed the road more than once looking for something on which to break its fast. The cougar will probably be around this same locality this morning, and any one hankering for a couger skin may find it to his advantage to take a few assorted dogs out there early and run that cougar up a tree and then shoot and skin him. But be sure and catch the cougar before you skin him. Port land paper. Decision. The much talked of case against Rowley & Whitsf tt was decided by the land office here in favor of the defendants, The money that was paid by Deady's decisions against persons in this community for buying the Rowley & Whiselt lumber ought to be re funded with all costs and expenses.

That spirited and accomplished elocutionist, Miss Rosa Stannus, of Tacoma afforded our people a delightful entertainment on last Sat urday evening. The Presbyterian church was most unusually crowded. Among recita tions that particularly pleased us were "Sister and I," an uncommonly fine, performance; "The Darkey and the Watermelon," and "Roller Skater." The two last mentioned convulsed and delighted the audience. Miss Stannus, besides her elocutionary accomplish ments, may boast of the personal attiactions of a clear, ringing voice and a good physique. Her intonations are undoubtedly good. Che halis Nugget'. j Miss Stannus fully demonstrated her talent as an accomplished reader, and each selection was heartily applauded, especially "The Brides of Enderby," which was given with rare pathos and perception. Several scenes were given from Macbeth by Miss Stannus, assisted by Mr. Snook iu the character of Macbeth. Miss Stannus gave a very compre hensive interpretation of the difficult roll of Laly Macbeth. Los Angeles Times. Miss Slannm not only shows the dramatic fire within but is gifted with a rich, resonant voice which has been so carefully cultivated that the light tones , of comedy, the heavy ac cents of tragedy or the quivering notes of. pathos follow each other without preceptible eflort. "In Eugene Aram's Dream," one of the recitations-rendered, her portrayal of the guilty murderer was realistic and forcible with out being shammed. Her gestures, like her acting, spring from feelings within rather from mechanical study, and are there fore natural. Tacoma, W. T., News.

While the legislative party were detained at the Yaquina bay last week an episode trans pired. After some of the party had gone in the tug' over the bar and got a beautiful sea bath, all returned to the Yaquina House where some speaking, historical, anecdotal and other wise took place, and the reporter was our friend I. A'. Manning on the Statesman. Here is a section of his report. The evening was passed in different ways, and the party arose early Monday morning, expecting to start for home, but the first intel ligence regarding the condition of the road was disappointing. However, the idea of starting Monday was not giving up until late in the atternoon, many ol the legislators be ing very anxious to get back to their desks. A 11 succumbed with good grace, to the inevita ble, and the usual jollity and serenity, and the jokes that went around were, probably the wittiest, anil naraest ever perpetrated by a Yaquina bay excuiion party. In the evening, thepavly all gathied in the hotel parlor, and Wallis Nash amud and interested the party in a talc of the Fretich revolution, its horrors, etc.; Ex-Senator Slater followed in a speech, in which he recited tffe history of the opening of Yaquina bay to traffic, and of the construc tion of the Oregon Uacihc railroad. Repre sentative Henry, of Linn county then gave a few stories of his five or six years' stay in the f in Islands. 1 nc party then called on the "life of the party" the gentleman of Douglas, Mr. Blundell. My space is limited, so it will be impossible to give even a digest of the speeches of the three gentlemen just named, all of which were excellent and interesting, but my readers must hear the speech of Mr. Blundell. which was bncl, yet interesting, at the time, lie saw: "Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: It is with pleasure I respond to your call to otier a lew thoughts, to, if pos sible, add to Ihe pleasures of this evening, but after swallowing Mr. Nash s black cats: bull frogs and snails, Mr. Slater's railroad im provements, anil Silt.

This makes a clear issue be tween Dr. McGlynn and the Tope. The Roman Cotholic church does not keep a de bating society. It insists that all its ministers shall preach an approved body of doctrine If Dr. McGlynn wants more liberty be must go outside, where there is a plenty of room with eyery opportunity for free speech. By trying to' stay in and go out at the same time he is only encouraging the outbreaks of rowdy , religion which keep the police bujy at St. Stephen's," Aniicer to "Spiritualism Defined." As Mrs. Ream and I are on amicable terms my attention is diverted to your correspondent "Truth" which ought to be consistent with itself, but ince Brigham Young has been resurrected and appeared to many in Utah if we are credulous enough to bellieve the al ledged statement, we surely live in an age of the marvelous. So did the Pharsees of Persia who acknowledged the Shaster to be the Holy Book of God. And so did the Hindoo who believed the same of the Veda the Moham edonofthe Koran etc. They all acknowl edged supernatural powers and miracles. Mr. "Truth" objects to the claims of Spirit ualists in regard to conversing with the departed. He also says that scriptures often commend honest investigation while he know j that the scriptural injunction is "believe or be' dammed" if he ignores the claims of others to communication with the dead, why dcesh? acccpt the same thing as Bible testimony such as the raising of the Prophet Samuel by the Witch of Endor etc. Now I believe in the broad comprehensive religion of humanity and in inspiration that is general. I do not believe that ignorarce is the Mother of true devotion, nor that it is good soil for the developement . of true re ligion. ; I accept the truth, not because it is written in any book, but because it was true before it was wrilten. A book, like a story to be true must correspond with fact and truth in principle, and each statement must agree sub stantially in regard to the same thing. If we are perishing spiritually it is for the lack of knowledge and the proper direction of the faculties which the God of the Universe has bestowed upon us. The belief in the super natural and mysterious have blunteT the in tellects of mankind who have been trameled by its influence. It is strange that "Truth" will disalow to spiritualists what seems to him incredible and then admit that God is the author of much that is equally as incredible. We do not deny that Christ was pre-emin-ncntly a son of God but we deny that he was the only son. We deny that there is suffi cient proof either oral or circumstantial that Christ was dead and came to life again or that he ascended to heaven. The pagans say that the daughters of Anius, a high priest of Apollo received from the God Bacchus the gift and power to change any thing into wine, oil, corn or any thing they desired . The pagans have also said that Ath alides haj received from his father Mercury the gift of living, dying and returning to life at his pleasure and that Esculapins the son of Apollo had raised the dead. They also claim that Remus and Romulus the founders ot Rome were miraculously born of a virgin named Ilia. They also claim that Minerva caused a well of oil to spring up in reward for a temple that had been dedicated to her, and many other things they have claimed but we do not believe them. Why should we believe any others whose statements are as incredible and unreasonable; tis strange that men will reject living testimony of such things and ac cept the testimony of nobody knows who about things that nobody knows any thing alxmt. On account of ignorance, superstition and a belfcf in the supernatural and miracu lous true religion, science and all that is prac tical and good has been kept back 2000 years ago.

Ad0St every thing that is usclul has been opposed by those who claimed to have command of all revelations from God that was necessary for man. Why does the church now teach in its schools what it burned Bruno at the stake for because as mankind advances in scientific knowledge the chnrch must advance a little or lie left. Respectfully. L.

Wc desire to pause right here and state for the benefit of whom it may concein that we have ridden several masonic goats since we were astride the one they keep in Clinton, and have seen many ridden, but we have yet to see one that jumped as high, and leaped as far, and butted as hard as that one old masonic Billy goat in Clinton. We wonder if he is dead, if not, he must be old and grey. When he dies (if he ever does) erect a monument to his memory. What pleasant recollections we have when we read the names of Thornbrough, Leonard, Lay, Greeson,' Pate, Britlin, Hatchett, Hargis, Peel, Brad ley, Jennings, Simpson, and many others we might mention with equal pleasure. Wils. Pate, yes we remember him, and he has not ! forgotten us. Once in Billy Wilson's clearing on Archie's Fork, we met and he proposed a tussle, Marquis of. Quccnbury rules, we con- i sented, we clinched, and worked until our muscles stood out in full relief, then we passed, Bro. Pate tumbled, and we had the distin guished pleasure of seeing him standing on his head in a brush pile. Yes he never will iorget us. We wonder if Uncle Jimmy Har rison still lives? He was celebrant at the marriage of John A. Murrcll and his wife in Wayne county Tennessee. If Uncle Jimmy is dead we know where he is.

Feb., 9th, she was in every re spect a most excellent christian woman, and a faithful member of the Presbyterian church at that place. Her hands in life were ready to every good work and she leaves a bright rec ord of fidelity in every relation of life. As a friend she possessed the esteem and respect of the entire community. As a wife and mother she was ever watchful for the best interest of her household. As a member of the church she stood alone for years, working and waiting tor Gods time to favor Zion. Her chief desire in life was to glorify God in the salvation of souls and ia her death she bore the strong est testimony to the strength of her faith and her confidence in God.
