DISPATCHES.
Kanaaa Prntrle Flrrt.
Atchison, Kas., April 12 A special to
the Champion says: "Reports concerning
destruction of life and property, caused by
the great prairie fire that swept over the
eastern portion of Norton and Graham coun
ties Saturday last, are yet meagre and unsat
isfactory, but enough is known to appall thc
stoutest hearts. It started in Graham county,
and the wind carried the flames over and
thiough the dry grass at a frightful speed.
General destruction continued to near Roscoe,
Ingraham county, and here the fire spread
oyer the county for fully two and a half
miles in width, and as the wind carried it
north was constantly spreading until it was
seven miles wide, where it crossed the north
fork of Solomon river, three miles cast ol
Dinsmcre. A few houses were burned and
every stable with stacks of hay and cribs ol
grain was burned, leaving hundreds of farmers
almost destitute. It is pitiful to pass over
the burned district and see thousands ol burned
chickens and turkeys and hundreds of hogs,
with occasional horse? and numerous cattle
Almost every farmer lost from 50 to 500 bu.
of corn besides small grain. It is definitely
known that from thirteen to sixteen lives
were lost in two counties, but the names
have not been learned. Four children are
known to have perished in one family. How
far the fire extended north from Solomon is
not known, but it must have traveled a long
distance.- At thc same lime another fire
swept down south of Fort Solomon, sweep
ing everything in its path and burning six
persons to death, father, mother, and lour
children, and a large number of cattle, horses
hogs and poultry. In one instance a Woman
prematurely gave birth to a child. When the
fire was discovered approaching, her husband
took her in his arms and started for plowed
ground, but before he reached it thc woman's
clothing was on fire. He succeeded in put
ting it out and saving her life. The babe,
less than an hour old, was with other mem
bers ol the family saved, but thc house and
other property on the farm was destroyed.
Hundreds of narrow escapes could bo related.
Saturday was a frightful day, one long to be
remembered in Graham county. General
rains have fallen to-day in Western Kansas,
and hopes are enterlainctl that they will ad
vance eastward.

LIEUT. MORRIS.
Wateriow:. n. y. April 12. Lieut. C.
V, Morris, a relieved officer of the United
Stales, navy, and a grandson of Robt. Morris,
one of the signers of the declaration of inde
pendence, died at Sackelt's harbor yesterday,
aged 85 years. Morns enteied the navy in
1825, and was in active service during the
late war. He was retired about thirteen
years ago.
School Books.
California, it is well known, has been get
ting up a series of slate school books. The
books are now ready, but there is complaint
that they are "poorly arranged, indifferently
printed and costly, and instead of saving a
considerable sum to parents, they are charged
with bcine dear at any price." Thc Chron
icle says- that "so general is the complaint
that the state educational authorities find it
difficult to induce boards of supervisors to pro
vide for the revolving fund, which is a part
of the machinery of distribution." It will be
remembered that there was an effort to work
up a school book job on the people of Oregon
during the recent session ol our legislature.
California's experience shows us what a happy
escape we made. Since California, with its
vastly greater resources and larger market,
has made a failure of it, it is not difficult to
see what the result here would have been.
The Siskiyou Accident. The members
of the Stuttz company who were injured by
the runaway and upsettine of a stage last
week, arc housed in a tumble-down cnbin,
near the1 summit of the mountain, about
twelve miles from Ashland, Their condition
is one of great misery. The cabin ia which
they are staying is unfurnished and does not
begin to afford accommodations for the com
pany. Little Ivy StutU and Jasper cunning-
ham, the driver, were injured internally, and
ire not expected to live. To add to the mis
ery and discomfort, the weather for the past
four days has been terrible snow, hail, and
heavy rain. The roads, which a week ago
were in fine condition, are now almost im
passable, the stage sinking hub-deep in mud
at almost every turn in the road. The man
who owned the stage which upset left Ashland
Sunday with provisions for the sufferers, and
this is believefl to be the first relief they have
had from the outside.

Communication from FoU.
Ed. Review; Thinking perhaps a word
from Fossil would be interesting to you and
your many readers, I herjby take time by the
forelock by sending you a line or two. I have
been a resident of this burg but a short time,
for it has been but a short time since I was
within and without and upon thc walls of the
state penitentiary not an inmate exactly for I
was "heeled" with a Winchester rifle most of
the time. Suffice it tD say this is a more
agreeable location thau the state penitentiary
for here there is not that lurking feeling
haunting a man that he might be called upon
to kill somebody, not altogether a pleasant
feeling to one who is not "thirsty for blood."
Well, Fossil is sixty miles due south of Ar
lington (alias Alkali.) This is evidently the
best portion of Gilliam Co., not because I am
here but because the natural resources, such
as bunch grass, sage brush and coyotes, etc.
are more available here than at other places.
This is a comparatively new country and many
new towns are springing up along the line on
the base of the Blue mountains. Fossil is in
its mushroom growth orinfancy and still wear
ing its swadhng clothes, being but four 01 five
years old. The general outlook for this place
however is good. With the advent ot a few
years this country will be checkered with rail
roads, dotted over with school houses and
churches, a howling wilderness converted into
a prosperous and thriving country. Where
we now see ranches with their thousands of
sheep, coyotes and jack rabbits and plains of
sage brush, we will sc happy homes, towns
and cities with thousands of prosperous people.
A few object lessons to thc observer would
teach hin that my minds eye is not "drawing
a tedious tale of learning o'er," but will, in
the course of human events be steam realities
not drawn altogether from imaginations. To
my friend 1 in Douglas who have been en
quiring of me about this country I would say
in conclusion that there arc thousands of acres
ol vacant land in Western Oregon yet that
will mike good homes for the homele?s, but
the good land is being taken and will not al
ways lie vacant. H. B. Henhkicks

VOLISESS.
While all the exchanges have had a kind
word for the Editor of The Review having
been struck by lightning, or a civic piece ol
honor having beenconferred, the person struck
takes this method and opportunity to say to
all his friends, and the co-tcmporaiics of The
Review, many thanks. Now it comes to
pass, that the Plaindealer, whose editor is the
vice-Prcsident of the Utah and Pacific Coast
railroad, has make the only ugly reference to
our appointment in the whole list.

give no occasion lor regret.
The Plaindealer says this ol us this April.

such a prescriptive spirit is more than we can
comprehend, but The Review might possibly
make a good guess. So we will get no "com-
phmcntary over this U. & P. C. road. We
I will try the virtue of riding thc break beam.

TUJ.T CIIA LLEA'OE.
Or 31 n leal Reform.
Editor Review: I have been anxiously
waiting and watching to see what the followers
of the "old" style or round note notation
would say, or what action they would take in
regard to thc challenge lor a public or private
debate on the "new" style or patent note
musical notation vs the'"oId" style or round
note notation, and so far (like in the beginning
of most reforms) it has been treated with
silent contempt. This old system of notat'on
like whisky in one respect has already cost
us too much time and money, so let us away
with it and try something new. Now before
I go further I want to say that I did not make
the above challenge neither do I know lhc color
ol the icrris. hair that did make it, but I
have been like the little boy sitting on the
fence hollowing "seek him towser."
History proves to us that all reforms prog
ress slowly in their first decades. It took
many centuries to convince thc world that
the people might think lor themselves and to
establish a democratic form of government.
The first application of steam in propelling a
boat was met by a mob. The first man w ho
dared to venture the assertion that messages
might be sent by electricity was pronounced a
fool or insane.
TUi first man who dared to speak ol aljoli
tion of slavery was mobbed; yet all these
things have been accomplished. Also it was,
and by a few is still said that prohibition
could not and would not prohibit. Vet lime
has proven that prohibition can, will and
docs prohibit. Teach the people to think
for themselves. Here is the great key that
has, and is unlocking thc doors of all great
reforms. Tins is an age of progression . The
hand writing is everywhere and in every
branch of science, and to argue in favor of
round notes is to argue against the advance
ment of science. Sonic of the round note
persuasion have said of patent notes "old'
style to such I would say subtract 5 1 from 720
and you have the difference between round
and patent notes. In spile of all thc flings
of "old" style, died out and would be iunny
tilings such as "buckwheat shapes," "three
ct.rnercd sounds" and "measle toed notes''
the watchword of the character note army, is
ever onward. Now to bring this mailer be
fore the people in a way that all may under
stand the difference between thc old and
new notation. I will say that every teacher of
the round note system must admit that in the
new or patent note system the same syllables
in solniizution; the same stall, thc same dis
tinctive rhythmic characters; the same bars,
rests, pauses, dots, dashes, slurs, lines, spaces,
sharps, flats, cancels, and the same musical
terms are used that he uses. Thc only differ
ence is, that in the new or patent note system
we have a shape to represent each scale tone,
and he has not. To be plainer, the syllables
applied to the scale tones in both these nota
tions are Do, Re, Me, Fa, La, Si, and Do
repealed forms the 8th or 1st of thc new series.
Now we ask (and before a verdict is rendered
or we are "mobbed" we want all candid
minds to think of the reasonableness and the
unreasonableness of the proposition,) which is
better to follow, an old system of notation
which has a round dot represent seven tones,
or (mark thc difference) a new system of nota
tion which has seven different shapes to repre
sent seven diflcrent sounds or tones. Now
by saying that I hope thc time will soon come
when this old time and money wasting system
of round notes will be done away with and
thai a new and easier method will take its
place, and that all instead of the few, may
learn 10 sing, and that the melody of sweet
song may dawn upon every heart and home,

A Suggestion to the Traveling VuMie. .
Tourists, emigrants and mariners find that
Ilostettcr's Stomach Bitters is a medicinal
safeguard against unheallhful influences, upon
which they can implicitly rely, since it pre
vents the effects of vitiated atmosphere,' un
accustomed or unwholesome diet, bad water,
or other conditions unfavorable to health.
On long voyages, or journeys in latitudes ad
jacent to the equator, it is especially useful as.
a preventive of the febrille complaints and dis
orders of the stomach, liver and bowels,
which are apt to attack natives of the temper
ate zone sojourning or traveling in such re
gions, and it is an excellent protection against
thc influence of extreme cold, sudden changes
of temperature, exposure to damp or extreme
fatigue. It not only prevents intermittent
and remittent fever, and other diseases of a
malarial type, but eradicates them, a fact
which has been notorious for years past in
North and South America, Mexico, the West
Indies, Australia, and other countries.
