Dowell now in New York, in trying to write a letter to the Plaindealcr last week, writing about the fashions of that city. The fashions notes showed the art of a connoisseur, hence Bro. Dowell must have plagiarized from some great metropolitan newspaper. Bro. Dowell, like the editor of The Review, would not know a fashion plate from a "last year's bird's nest" if he were to meet it in the road. WThat a travesty upon journalism was that whole "make up" anyway. Another Bridge. It nowseemstobe the general belief, especially by those some what acquainted in the premises that the N. P. R. R. bridge across the Columbia river will be completed within the present year. The bridge will be a combination truss, built on wooden piers, with a draw near the right bank, and will be 3,000 feet long.

Afterthe address the audience went down stairs where a bountiful repast was spread " before them of such delicasies as only the ladies of Raseburg know how to prepare After doing ample justice to the feast spread before us some of the fun loving people again went up to the hall and enjoyed a social dance, while the remainder of us repaired to our homes feeling thankful to the ladies for such a rare treat. Whiited Five Panthers. Wm. Otto, who lives near Trout lake, Klickitat county. had a terrible experience lately while out hunt ing. lie was fortunate enough to kill 1 . large sized cougar and leaning his gun against a tree proceeded to remove the animal's skin. The barking of ms dogs caused bint to raise his eyes and there within a few feet of him crouched his victim's mate. In attempting to get his gun lie tripped and fell and the cougar was on top of him. The cougar was tearing h:m with claws. and teeth when Mr. Otto whipped out his -knife and by great exertion of strength cut the animal's throat and it fell dead.at his feet.. Regaining his gun a third cougar bit the dust while two others made off into the mountains. After the encounter Mr. Oito did not present an attractive sight, as he was covered with blood and his clothes were in shreds, but an examination failed to reveal any serious injuries. Corner Stone Laid. The corner stone of the new First Presbyterian Church in Port land was laid last Monday with imposing ceremonies. The weather was fine, and the crowd which assembled to witness them ladies were largely in the majority. The Rev, D. O. Gbormley. pastor ot the First Presby terian Church of East Portland presided.

All Men Angry oeer tha Deep Damnation j of his Taklng-off San Francisco, May 2. The unfortunate killing of Michael II. Scibcrt in Kern county last Friday, on the supposition that he was Peter Olsen, the murderer of Mrs. Lyons, has been the talk of the streets to-day. The mere recalling of the facts makes a sad feeling creep over the average humane heart. Compara tively speaking, on yesterday the man in yon lone cabin had not a friend. To day he is enshrined in thousands of sympathetic hearts. The world is now a friend to the dead Swede. It will not be uninteresting again to recall the facts. About three weeks ago a man giving his name as Seibert appeared near Bakersfield, looking for a piece of land. He went to the lower slopes of the Sierras, where snow was still on the ground, made his home in an abandoned cabin, and started to clear ground for a garden. Two rural amateur detectives uinped to the conclusion that he must be Pete Olsen, the murderer of Mrs. Lyons, and got a warrant for his arrest. They went to his cab in, armed with shotguns and pistols, and found him girdling a tree. They got as near as pos sible, by dodging behind trees, but were final ly seen by Seibert. They then advanced up on him, covering him with their shotguns and calling upon him to throw up his hands, as they had a warrant for his arrest. "Arrest nothing!" was his reply, and raising his ax, he stood upon the defensive. The amateur detectives then hred two charges of sli9t into his breast. "You are Pete Olsen," said one. I am dying," was the hapless settler's reply He expired in a fcw.minutes. Sheriff Harris, of Nnpa, arrived at Bakersfield yesterday and stated at once that the remains were not those of Pete Olsen. He is found in a peaceable occupation. He is pounced upon by armed men who steal upon him from behind trees and order him to throw up his hands in a most highwayman style. In an attempt to defend himself he is shot dead. What else can this be but mur der? If it is not murder no man's life is safe. These rural detectives should be placed on tnal and be convicted. Of course, under the circumstances, with the killing fresh in mind, popular leeling has reached an extreme . Sympathy for the dead Swede and curses for his slayers rule the hour. There are many who are hold enough to say that Seibert was undoubtedly shot for settling on the land, and that the crime may have some darker explanation than a murderous blunder. It must be ackonwledged that with the present information such charges are unwarranted and unjust. But the least that can be said is that it is a sadly unfortunate case, and the thoughts of it will not down. THE HORSE SHOW. On last Wednesday as was previously an nounced the stallion show took place in Rose burg starting from Champagne's hotel and marching up main street and down Jackson street to the place of starting, The prize (a handsome bridle) was awarded to S. Minard's horse, Young Mike. The following horses were exhibited. Young Mike, a dapple bay, eight years eld and weighs 1300 pounds, owned by S.

A bull 2 years old and weighing 1570 lbs. was exhibited by Emmitt Richards and it be ing the only one on exhibition rccieved a hal ter as a prize. Quite an interest was manifested in the exhi bition and stoefcmen should strive to mi prove the grades of Jheir stock, and we know of no better way than for thein to exhibit them publicly, thus giveing the farmers chance to choose the best grades. MARRIED. EARL, PALMER At the bride s rest dence in Scottsbure April 24. 18S7, Miss Edith Palmer to Fred Earl of Drain. Life nattllng Again. In a recent number of the Bandon Record I see an article entitled, Lifes battlings, in which the writer says "there must be a pur pose and a goal, he asks where is that goal, how may it be reached? How can this ques tion be answered when the writer has only traversed the interminable line to that point called death let us begin where the writer has left off or where the animate leaves the in animate, let ns begin where the immortal bids farewell to the mottal and takes its everlasting flight, and ask where is the goal; but believing in an ever renewing life, and an ever present death in growth and decay. Wil Pour reason permit us to ask if there is a grand final goal U it not more reasonable to believe it? To be a great problem no being can solve Save the ruler of time and of space The grand common centre round which all re Hath assigned every being a place. volve Is it not more reasonable to believe exis tence. Go onward forever and never will end As the links in eternities chain Where broad uniycrses in distance shall blend On the face of the bright stellar plain. Shall we attempt to call the links of the interminable chain in the vain attempt to find a grand final goal, shall we take up our flight Through regions of twilight of boundless extent Away o'er and endless domain Where sattlellies circles and systems immense Appeared ki a limitless train and attempt to find a goal, is it possible to find a goal a realm that is limitless, in a life that has no end? I hold there is no limit to infi-. nite nature there is no grand ultimatum to be gained, there is no ultimate dimb Thule save in our iramagination. We exist in an eternal decay and resurrection in an endless evolution. Poe says there are no dreams in aiden. I say there are no dreams in life, is cold reality if we would explore the realm of life we would Go on in a tight that no table of time Evei dares to compute our wild way Away on the thread of an infinite line An infinite realm to survey. This realm of life is eternal and vast Rolling on as a great endless plain All nations, races, tribes clang denomina tions and creeds, all things endowed with or ganic life, all things in nature whether ani mate or inanimate, are borne on the waves of irresistible circumambience, but where was the beginning and where will the end be, can any one tell? Lodi. Jl More Religion and Yon Will Be IIajpf.' By this expression we do not mean to say that you are to try to believe or practice the mprobablc or impossible. In order to be hap py, we are to live, act and think according to the extent of our endowments and capacity in harmony with the laws which solicit our obe. ience, namely the laws of our physical nature, our moral nature and spiritual character. If we indulge in excess of any kind we suffer loss and effects of reaction. All fanatacism, super stition, bigotry, atheism or the creeds of all sects neither proves or disproves religion-, for it exists in fact in a vital fundamental principle, nor does it conflict with, or antagonize any thing else, or any principle that is true. If all existing creeds and sects were annihilated and obsolete, the foundation of true religion could not be destroyed namely the source of necessity and desire. A man whose physical wants are not supplied.suchashealth, food, raiment&c, cannot be happy. Besides he must have social af filiations, yet if he has no higher aspirations, no hop of future development, no hope of a 'sweet bye and bye" he is unhappy. A man may ant'eipate and ultimate bye and bye and look forward to the goal, yet he may in the present deny himself and others of his useful ness on account of his avarice and penurious ness, he is of all men most miserable. In short to be happy is to live well and help others to live well, to be cheerful, polite, to enjoy the present, to subdue selfishness through charity to all others, to be more reverential, truthful and virtuous.

The rapidity with which it renews weakened mental energy and physical vitality is remark able, and shows that its invigorating properties are of the highest order. Besides increasing vital stamina, and counteracting the effects of mental exhaustion, this potential medicine cures and prevents fever and ague, rheumatism chronic dyspepsia and constipation, kidney and uterine weakness and other complaints.
