D. S. West County Treasurer. Feb, nth, 18S7. Surprise party. A number of the young friends of Miss Nettie Bell gave her a happy surprise last Friday evening at her home in West Roscburg, that being her birthday. The evening was spent very pleasantly in chatting, playing games and singing. At a late hour all repaired to their homes after wishing their friend, Miss Nettie many happy returns of the day, having spent such a pleasant evening that it wil 1 not soon be forgotten by those present. Dentistry. Goto Dr. Bon ham of Rosc burg to have your teeth extracted, his local anaesthetic as a pain obtundcr has no equal applied to the gums five minutes renders ex traction painless. Dentists not in Oregon ' may secure the right to use the medicine from Dr. Bouliam the discoverer. Particular at. tenlion paid to correcting irregularities in childrens teeth of diseased gums. Removed to This City. Henry Rogers, the segeant-at:arms of the late house, has de cided to take up his residence in this city, and with that end in view he a few weeks ago moved his family here. Mr. Rogers made a most efficient officer and many friends during the session, and he will be welcomed in Salem. He is a carpenter by trade and a gentleman by nature. Statesman. An Old Timer. Joe Stephens well and favorably known in Douglas returned to this place on a visit last Tuesday. Joe's many friends gave him cordial welcome. His busi ness is at Prescolt, Arizona. His family at present is in Los Angelos, Cal., and will visit Roseburg in the spring on their way home. Mr. Stephens will buy a few spans of the best horses that he can lay his hands on to take back with him. The man who owns a good horse, had better interview Joe at an early day. Elastic Conscience. In his lecture in this city Wednesday night, Hon. M. C George related an incident worth repeating, Mrs. President Hayes paid this country a visit, which, will be remembered. She was much impressed with the country. The speaker attended a reception in Washington City when Hayes was j president, and Mrs. Hayes was telling of the wonders of the Pacific coast. . She said the clams on this coast were as large as a goose. Her auditors were rather incredu- lous, and Mrs. Hayes called Mr. George to substantiate her statement. He wrestled with his Conscience a moment, and then stepped ' forward and said he had "seen clams in Ore gon even larger than a goose." Oregonian, l he concert. On last Tuesday evening the DeDoss fanily gave a concert in this city at the Presbyterian church, which was wel' attended. The singers were laboring under the difficulty of severe colds and hoarseness but nevertheless they rendered their Various parts well. The instrumental pieces were good and consisted of three different bands, viz: the violin, ocarina and Comet. One pleasing feature of the evening was the ocarina band which was something new. We refrain from giving special mention ot any- one but will say that all played their parts well, and the people of Roseburg only hope that they mav return at some future time and (rive an other concert here. A Serenade. On last Monday evening quite a number of our citizens including the Junior band went to the depot to serenade Mr. A. Salzman who went to Portland last week and was reported to have been married The boys had a banner on which was m scribed "Welcome home Salzman." The ioke was i?otten ud by Bid Fisher, and was j o mm well perpetrated, but later in the evening Salzman turned the joke on Bid, by em ploying the band to follow him when he was taking his girl home from the singing at the M. E. Church, and congratulating him as if he was married. This joke was enjoyed by ouite a number much to the confusion and " embarrassment of those implicated. Rivalry. J. A. Wisner, Special Mutual Life Insurance Agent gave us the following this week which is worth telling. It seems . that Minneapolis and St. Faul are two cities in the great North West only about 10 miles apart, struggling hard to excel each other com mercially educationally and religiously. The spirit of rivalry rises souetime3 to about 212 decrees Fahrenheit, and while at this boiling point the other Sunday, a minister in one of the churches in Minneapolis announced his text from St. Paul, whereupon the whole congregation immediately arose and lefl the church in disgust, and no doubt the clergyman will be asked to send in his resignatiom, at an early cay.

A little son of Ira Gcnger died last week of membranous croup, and quite a number of other cases are reported in different sections, but no others have proved fatal so far as we have heard. The DeMoss family who have been in Rose burg for about three months left Wednesday morning. While here they made many friends who will be pleased to hear of their success wherever they may go. The singing every Monday evening at the M. E- church b a profitable exercise for the Sunday school singers, and all will derive much benefit from these exercises, which are conducted by Prof. Horner.

His pulpit here will be occupied on that day by Rev. E. G. Michael, as the M. E. Church South building b now occupied by the school. We are sorry to say that Miss Rosa Stannus left Roseburg without settling all her bilb. We did $7.30 worth of printing for her, and offered to settle the whole bill for two dollars, which she failed to pay. Persons must not expect to liye by sympathy alone, but a little cash b sometimes necessary. If our efficient signal officer 15. S. Pague cannot improve the weather as it has been 01 late with hb instruments, he had better send for Wiggins, or close up shop. It is true he told us what kind of weather would be, but the prognostications were always in conflict with our previous experience. The recent legislature established two new counties, one under the name of Malheur, out of the central and southern portion of Baker county, and the other to be known as Wallowa county, out of the northeastern portion . of Union county. The governor will appoint the first officers of the new counties. A most sociable ard pleasant time was en joyed at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Farquar last Wednesday evening.

Mrs. Miller left on Tuesday morning's train. She entertains but little hope of their daughter's recovery, A very pleasing and not at all difficult new and original musical composition is the K. of L.

Miss Rosa Stannus gave one of her pleasing dramatic entertainments at the Presbyterian church last Wednesday evening, which was much enjoyed by those present. Owing to a mistake on the part of some one her bilb failed to reach here, hence her coming was not generally known, and her audience was not as large as Roseburg should have given her, We have thought it proper to rest awhile on the spiritualistic dbeussion, as all parties have been heard pro and con and all seem more Or less satisfied, and we suppose edified too. However our Astoria correspondent b entitled to one more article, and then the benediction, after which a collection will be taken for the benefit of the Mutual Aid Society.

Violet. The Storm at Cauyonvtlte. Having seen no account of our late storm from this part of the country I will say tliat it commenced snowing here on the first day of Feb., it snowed all that day and the next, it continued to snow until it had fallen to the depth of 18 inches, it has snowed and thawed at intervals up to the present writing. The snow has left the valley but on the mountain ranges where there was most stock. The snow has not diminbhed but very little conse quently the loss of stock will be frightful. On the South Umpqua and Elk creek the snow was from three to five feet deep and as far as heard from the weather is very severe on Middle creek and the Big Bend of Cow creek the snow has been very deep and most of the stock will be lost and on all those mountain ranges where they had a great many cattle and sheep the loss will be severe I have been here since 52 and I must say, it was the worst storm I ever witnessed, people were not prepared for it and the loss will be great thb the 19th day of Feb., 1887.

Gillam, in the Pilot rock country only lost twenty-three. Some sheepmen were at Pendleton looking to see where they could get hay if they should need it, but as they had enough on hand for more than a week, and everything seemed to indicate the approach of the welcome Chinook, Mr. Lobenstein thought that those parties would not need to buy any hay.

While this is a Mass Convention and all in terested in the Sunday School work will be welcome to participate in the work of the Con vention, but to insure a representation, all Sunday Schools throughout the State are earnestly requested to elect delegates pledged to attend. - Newspapers, Pastors, Superintendents and all to whom thb notice shall come, are re quested to make it as public as possible. A good programme lias been arranged and prominent speakers and workers have been scoured. Notwithstanding the fact that the good peo ple of Salem have been feeding an Oregon Legislature and its attachees for the past forty days, yet the assurance comes to us that there b still something left and that their latch string will be found out to all who desire to make use of it. All such are requested to send their names to Mr. P. II. Raymond, Salem, at as early a date as possible. The O. & C . R. R. and the Oregon Railway Co. (Narrow Gauge Lines) will return all delegates paying full fare in going, at one fifth rate. S. J. Barber, E. W. Allen, Secretary. President. la It Far? Thoughts suggested at little Cleveland Bax ters funeral . The choir sang: "Is it Far?" The beautiful song rests on my mind, and I repeat, b it far? Is it far from the animate to the inanimate? Is it far from life to death? Is it far from death to life, or is there death? Is it far from the cradle to the grave? How far will we journey with the pale boatman over the dark A vermis waves? How long shall we stand on the deck of the pale Elida, e'er we reach the golden land beyond the sea? i Is it far oh! b it far, to the time when wrong shall swing in the sacred balance of a tear; when right shall be robed in the resurrection and the life, and the clouds roll away. j There is no death beneath the burning gun; There's nothing mortal known in heaven or earth; Tliere'a no comparing when our race is run; There is no measure of a bcins worth. For all must swing in a harmonious train Throughout the endless aires yet to be; Each forms a link ot the unending chain Th.U binds the boundary of eternity. Is it far? Do not pause, dear friends, to compute time or space with the inhnte; for there is no end but eternal blessed resurrection for ever and forever. Why should we mourn for friends who have gone before to a life that Will go onward forever and never will end, As the links of eternity's chain; Whore grand universes in ' t:t (as hall blend On the face of the broad stellar plain. Oh! say, brother pilgrim, Is it far! Lodi in Coquille Cify Herald. Reform Club.

Their last meeting was held on South Deer creek, Saturday evening Feb. 5th, interpersed with music, singing, recitations, short ppeeches, &c. Miss Martha Gilmore, editress, read the Temperance Day Star, it being filled with choice selections of temperance pieces, poetry, general news and home items.

The Angel of the covenant. The papers over the State are at present eulogizing the poem, "The Angel of the Covenant, written by Mrs. Dr. S. Hamilton.' That it should receive such general attention b ac knowlcdged evidence that the poem possesses merit, and that the notices have almost uni versally been of a favorable character, is some what complimentary to the authoress. Once in every few decades there is a meteor, like Byron, Shakespeare, Milton or Poe, that flash for a "time with unequaled brilliancy in the literary heavens. And while these lights may grow no less dim, they each have a long train of followers who never attain an excel lence above mediocricy. Mrs. Hamilton has taken an entirely new field of literary work, from the fact that she adopts poetry as the best means of blending history,- allegory and revc Iation in a readable form. Much of the Bible was written in poetry. Christian theology b only poetical in its tendency and influence. Mrs. Hamilton has taken advantage of thb to treat poetically what b generally considered prosy. Here are a few of the gems with which the poem abounds: "Devils cannot be worse than void of good, Nor ansrels purer than void of wrong." In speaking of knowledge and wisdom she says: "To learn ot evil, man must die to good: To learn of good, he must to evil die; Cut to know of both, is the wisdom of a God." How true are the following lines. Where end parental steps, the child's bcirin; And from the mother's grave, the eye can trace Where'er the footsteps of the son bath been Since the beginning of his mortal race." The authoress has evidently carefully studied the general drift of the poem before it was written; and it will likewise bear careful study on the part of the reader. . We predict that those who will take the time to carefully peruse the three books will be surprised with the mul tiplicity of new thoughts and applications of old ideas that the volume contains. Plain dealer. We have received from Roseburg "The An gel of the Covenant," a poem complete In three books, Mrs. Dr. S. Hamilton author. The poem is hbtorical in its nature, contains much poetical beauty and many good thoughts. The public generally "read poems by local talent with suspicion. Thb poem, though, b worth a careful perusal, which is saying considerable for these trashy times. Democrat. New Poem.

It b en tilled, "The Angel of the Covenant;" it was written by Mrs. Dr. S: Hamilton; and was published by The "Review Pub. Co." The authoress evidently took much time and pains j in writing this volume. Her views are a some what new departure from the theological views ' of the day. Echo. We have received a pamphlet entitled, "The Angel of the Covenant," written by Mrs. Dr. S. Hamilton, of Roseburg.

M., president of Washington Semmary, W. T., says: Through the courtesy of some friend in Rose burg, Oregon, the writer of thb note has re ceived a poem of no mean merit, written by a lady at Roseburg. It is one of the most fertile, in new and original thought, of all the poems I have eycr read. Even one of its ideas is enough to give it immortality. That thought b thb: The first human move ment of any moral character was to erect a house, a domain. Its foundation was human wisdom. At least, it was the wisdom recom mended by Satan . It was merely the knowl edge of good and evil. Humanity tried to ex alt itself upon such a foundation. The foun dation was sand. God showed, at length, that wisdom was the principal thing; just as Eve had thought when she acceded to Satan's sugges tion. But God said, as the heavens are above the earth so arc my thoughts above you r thoughts. Then the New Testament says, "The wisdom of Godjis first pure, then peaceable. Christ was the power of God and the wisdom of God." These are, of course, not the words of the author of that poem; but I owe the thought to her suggestion. The poem should be reaa by every minister and Christian in thb country. Thanks to the lady and the kind friend who sent U to me. NECROLOGY. LANGENFELD. At the residence of Henry Adams near Myrtle Creek Oregon, last Sunday Feb. 20th, 1887, Mrs. Philena E. Langenfeld. She was born November 26th, 1849, in Cass county, Missouri, and with her parents came to this valley in 1863. Thb highly respected lady united with the Meth- odbt church in 1869, and from that time until God said "it b enough, come up higher," she was a consistent member of the church of her choice. The subject of this sketch leaves a sor rowing husband, and one little gtrl less than 3 years old to mourn her untimely departure. Mrs. Langenfeld's miaden name was Cornutt, the sister and relative of that large and ex cellent family of Cornutts on Cow creek. The remains of thb lad were taken to Riddle, and the funeral services held in the school house by Eev. J. RN. Bell on Feb. 22, 1887, and the body - was then deposited in the Riddle cemetery, there to await the . sound of the trumpet of the ressurrection morning. Mrs. Reames received a letter Monday eve ningfrom Rev. R. llebcr Newton's wife stat ing that her husband b very low sunering from nervous prostration. An Outrage. Have we no laws in Myrtle Creek or have we laws and no officers to enforce them, ap pearances would indicate that we had neither, if we have where O where are they kept? .Last Sunday evening at the close of an able sermon by our faithful friend, Mr. Smick, a dozen or so of persons calling themselves young men took a bee line from the Church to their place of resort with whoops and yells and shooting off pistols equal to a band of savages on the war path, while a few of the more genteel oars saw their girls home and then joined their companions in revelry which was kept up till near morning. It b said that a majority of the voters could not be got for a liquor saloon at thb place, yet we have here a place where men and boys too may go and get drunk when they choose. The place is frequented by all ages from the young boy to the gray haired grandfather and I am Sorry to say In many in-" stances boys are led I hither by their fathers who ought to set a bctterexample while the mothers spend sleepless nights in tears and prayers for their ruined sons and husbands.
