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

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

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.

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.

No Loss of Sheep. There has been no
loss of cattle or sheep in Eastern Oregon this
season worth speaking of. E. Lobenstein of
Pendleton writes to a friend here that in W,
Gibson's heid of 7000 sheep the loss has been
only eighty-three and another herd of 1700,
belonging E. 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. Oregonian.

The Second Annua! Convention of the Ore
gon Stale Sunday School Association will be

evening, March Sth. and closing Wednesday
evening, March 9th, 18S7. !

will be found out to all who desire to make
use of it. All such are requested to send their

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

I COMMENTS Of THE PRESS OX
I POEM, "ANGEL OF TIIE
IUE
COVElfAKT."
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

with suspicion. Thb poem, though, b worth

W. Scott Walker, A. 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.
O how long must we bear with such things, is
there no remedy? Yours for law and order
and prohibition in the strongest sense of the
term. A Parent.
