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.

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.

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

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

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

ROSA STAXA'US' EXTERTAIXMEXT.
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.
MLs Stannus has histronic talent of a high

was listened to in breathless silence by the
audience throughout. Pomona, Cal., Times

An Episode.
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. Henry s cannibal chief
of the Fiji Islands, and his bam!xx pillow, I

l)o Something. i
In an article on Dr. McGlynn and his rela
tions with the Roman Catholic church, the
New York Tribune says: "He has been re
quired by an authority which every Catholic
priest is bound to obey, to retract his doctrine
of common property m land; and he has em
phatically answered that he will teach it ag
long as he liycs. 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. Heron discovered the power of steam
and a toy engine was on exhibition in Alexan

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.

Some Remimsenee.
Last week we received on exchange the
Van Buren County Democrat, a seven col
umn folio published in Clinton, Arkansas.
This was the third issue and it looked hale
and hearty for a journal of its age. Bennett
and Bradley the publishers we once knew
well. This town was the place where we
preached our first sermon as an itinerent, in
November 1872, more than 14 years ago.
Here is where Uncle Hart Greeson gave us
our first entertainment as a Very green and
undeveloped specimen of humanity. Here
is where our daughter O10 Delia was bom,
and she scaned the Democrat rather critically
as she now can set type, write locals and al
most run a newspaper herself. In the item
about Frank James she said they should use
a lower case e, instead of a small "cap in the
woid east- She is much pleased with the pa
per of her native town. Here is where we
learned our first lessons in masonry. Patter
son Lodge No. 1 1 1 and Clinton Chapter No,
53, how familiar. 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. Our belter-half
says that she will ever hold sacred in memory
tho?e kind chanties extended to us while in
Clinton, and the worser-halffsays, amen ' Be
fore the next Yule log is put on the hearth,
and the festival bonfire kindled, we may see
the sanctum of the v an Buren County Demo
crat. May much success attend this Journal
istic enterprise. " In closing we notice this item
in January 26th number that, "the senior
editor is off on a business tour, and will take in
Sugar Loaf spring, while gone." Now if we
were to perform such a feat as that in Oregon,
we would be called a "sweet scented prohibi-
tionst.

YOUNG. Mrs. Martha Young wife of
Mr. J. C Young, died at their residence in
Oakland Or. 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. We mourn not as
those who have no hope, "but with resigna
tion say blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the spirit,
that they may rest from their labor, and their
works do follow them." ,
