Fashions. It was real tunny to see lion.
B. F. 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. Acorn
modious- building for engineer's offices and
headquarters has been constructed near the
bijdge site on the Pasco side. Active opera
lions will begin about July I. W. W. Jour
nal.
Camp Fire. The camp fire given by the
ladies of the Reno Relief Corps last Wednes
day evening at Slocum's Hall was well at
tended, and the programme consisted of sing
ing, music by the band and an able address
by Hon. Binger Hermann in which he por
Irayed to us the soldiers home in Washington
citv and how comfortably the old soldiers
are cared for that were left without homes.
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. He
called the assemblage to order and invoked
the blessing: of God upon the work they were
about to undertake. After a hymn by the
choir, the Rev. W. O. Forbes pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, of Albina, read
a scriptural lesson from the second chapter of
Enucsians. ihe Kev. w. a. noit men
offered prayer. An address was then de
livered by Rev. Wrarren H. Landon, pastor
of Cal very Presbyterian Church. Ex-Senator
II. W. Corbett, chairman of the building
committee then made a few remarks, after
which the audience was dismissed with the
benediction by Rev. W. O. Forbes. The

i POOR MICHAEL SEIBERT.
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

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. L. C. Hill.

The Effect Mental Exhaustion.
Many diseases, especially those of the ner
vous system, are the products of daily renewed
mental exhaustion. Business avocations ofi
ten involve an amount of mental wear and
tear very prejudicial to physical health, and
the proffessior.s, if arduously pursued, are no
less destructive to brain and nerve tissue. It .
is one of the most important attributes ot
Hostetters's Stomach Bitters, that it tompen- -
sates for this undue loss of tissue, and that it
imparts new eneigy to the brain and nerves.
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.
Physicians also commend it as a medicated
stimulant and remedy.
