Oakland is one of the nicest little towns in
Soutnetn Oregon. There seems to be a much
heavier country trade than in some of the
jarger tow ns of the state and this is what keeps
a town up. It supports three hotels two gen
tral merchandise stores, two drugstores, two
hnrdware stores, and two barber shops, one
livery stable, one cigar and notion store, one
butcher shop, and only three saloons, but to
counterbalance the latter they have three
church houses. There is also I believe two
school houses, and milliner shops. There is
three large grain ware hoir.es, and in the ship
ping season are crowded to overflowing.

SUICIDE OR MURDER.!
The Horrible Death of
Mrs. Paul Bruckner.
A TERRIBLE TIMUEDY.
The most horrible event that wc have been
called upon to chronicle occurred this week.
It was v the terrible death of Mrs. Paul
Bruckner by having her throat cut, the radial
arteries of the wrist cut and also by drowning
and was either a case of suicide or murder.
Mrs. Bruckner who was formerly Elizabeth
Limpeck, was twenty-four years of age and
has been married to Paul Bruckner some four
years. Her husband has been absent in
eastern Oregon about six months looking lor
a new home. During his absence she has
lived with her father's family consisting of
Stephen Limpeck, his wife and grown son,
Paul, who reside on a farm some eight miles
south of Roseburg. For the past six weeks,
Mrs. Bruckner has been sick, part of the time
bedfast, j Her husband has been expected
home this week and had written that he had
sfartcd home on horseback. The parties are
all Hungarians and have been residents of
this section for several years. These are a few
of the preliminaries of the dreadful affair,
which is gathered from the family as follows:
At nine o'clock Monday night the father had
retired toi bed downstairs, while the son, Paul
Limpeck had gone to bed downstairs, leaving
the mother and Elizabeth up, the intter bath
ing her feet, this was the last they saw of her
aliye. Shortly after they retired and about
eleven o'clock the mother went to her daugh
ter's room to see if she was comfortable. She
was surprised to find the bed unoccupied and
immediately aroused the family and com
menced the search. They went to the barn
and from thence to the river where they saw
fviot printsand then returned home, failing to
give any alarm . I he next morning they
aroused the neighbors and Finis Dillard going
in a skiff along the river bank discovered
the body. When found shf; was in her night
clothes ana there were no marks of violence
on her person or elothes. j This was about
90'clock in the morning, j Mr. Dillard came
to town and gave the news. Coroner Mars
ters repaired iothc scene accompanied by
many citizens. A jury was empanelled con
sisting of B. B. Brockwav, I. M. Dillard.
Wm. McBee, J. W. Mole, G. W. Cummings
and David Lenox. The investigation was
assisted by iDislrict Attorney Hamilton. The
jury on the evidence returned a verdict of
suicide by putting with a razor and drow ning.
sucn arci the leading outlines of tho mys
terious affair, the details, however, arc of a
very suspicious character to say the least. We
will attempt to give you a few. The barn is
some 200 yards from the house. It is evident
from the blood shed that here is where the
wounds were inflicted. There is a great quan
tity of blood on the floor and on the barn door,
showing that the latter was shut at the time
of the commission of the deed. An attempt
had been made to wash out and w ipc out with
dirt and grass the blood stains. The girl,
then on the suicidal theory must have opened
he door, after the wounding, and shut it again
From the barn on the river trail, one hundred
yards from the barn, is a gate; this has blood
upon it, which has also been somewhat oblit
erated . This gate was also opened, shut and
latched. Very thoughtful lor a bleeding-to
death-suicide. It is at least one third of a
mile to the river from the barn, and along
this trail the blood is' invariably to the left of
the trail and in blotches as though congealed
from a dead body, not in a stream as from a
fresh flowing wound. "The wound in the
throat is a superficial one," says Dr. Marsters,
extending almost from car to ear, severing
the two external vein and about half through
the wind pipe. . It would not have caused
death. The radial artery of the left wrist
was severed, which would have caused death
from bleeding but probably have taken hours.
The ulnar artery is uninjured." The razor
was found by the father one hundred yards
from the barn where he buried it. A note
in German was aho produced by the family
claiming to have been found in the girl's room
the morning after the deed. ; It said she was
sick, could not recover and it was best for all
that she should die. It also said that her par
ents had always been very kind to her. We
are of the opinion from' the mysteriousness of
the sad affair that a more thorough search
should have been made of the house in order
to find if there is no bloody clothing or other
evidence of guilt. Surely if the poor girl
has been murdered the crime should not go
unpunished. An autopsy should have also
been held on the body to show whether the
deed was committed to cover the most terrible
of crimes. As the matter now rests, public
opinion is very much divided. It does not
seem probable that the girl could have com
mitted suicide in the manner indicated and
the matter should not be allowed to rest
here. !

General Stalin Announces the Members o,
Hit Staff- '
Baigadier-Gcneral Siglin, of the Oregon
National Guard, has announced the following
officers of his staff: Assistant Adjutant-Gen
eral, Thos. G. Owen, of Marshfield, Coos
county; Quartermaster General, L. B..Mon
tanye, of Albany; Aids de-Camp, Palmer
Wheat, of Portland, and Isaac A. Manning,
of Salem.
These appointments have been sent to Gov
Pcnnoyer, and it is expected that he will
immediately issue tho commissions. The date
of the commissions will be May 20th, when
the new military law eocs into effect. The
two first named officers will be given the rank
of Captain, and the two latter that of Firs
Lieutenant. The Brigade Quartermaster will
also be com missionary of subsistence.
Capt. Thos. G. Owen is an old newspaper
man and an ex sheriff of Coos county. He
has held the position of Assistant Adjutant-
General under "Pap" Price in the Confeder
ate service. I Ie was on the electoral ticket.
Capt. Montanye is a prominent attorney of
Albany, is an ex-Union soidier and a mem
ber of the Grand Army of the Republic. He
was a member of the Legislature of 18S4.
He distinguished himself as one of the Dem
ocratic supporters of J. II. Mitchell for TJ.
S. Senator in the special session of, 18S5.
Lieutenant Palmer Wheal, of Portland, is
about 20 years of ngc, and has something of
a military education. He is a member of Q
company, and is an accomplished shorthand
reporter. This latter will probably make him
valuable to the military board. Lieutenant
Isaac A. Manning is well known as a mem
ber of the Statesman staff. He is a member
of Co. B, and has acceptably served a term
as Second Lieutenant of that organization.
These appointments are all good ones,
and reflect credit upon General Siglin's judge
ment in making them. Salem Statesman.

as the Mt. Shasta route, running as it docs

snowy caped mountains can be seen from the
line of the Ml Shasta route than any other
road of similar length in America, beginning
in the Sacramanto valley, opposite Red Bluff.
Lassens Butte is first seen, then Shasta and
tho Scott mountains. To the east of the
line through Rogue River valley can be seen
Mt. Pitt covering its snow capped summit far
above the Cascade range. On first entering

The valleys traversed by the Mt. Shasta
route arc gems commencing with the Willam
ette, which stretches to the southward over 100
miles, verdant with fields of waving grain,
hence through the Calapooia mountains to the
valley of the Umpqua which is a series of
valleys and rolling hills covered with grand
old oaks, which at this season are resplendent
in their spring costumes, and to wind up in
the state of Oregon comes the gem known as
Rogue river valley a fitting departure to Ore
gon nestled among the hills it appears like a
park placed .by the devine hand as a pleasing
contrast to the arid plains which one meets
on the first entry to our sister stale, but which
soon disappear on entering the noble valley of
the Sacramento, which valley is too well known
to discuss now. We look forward to a larger
travel and hope some of our eastern brethren
who on visiting California will not neglect
the opportunity to visit Oregon and sec for
themselves the very many fine openings for
industry and pleasant homes.

Capt. B. S. Pague, Roseburg, Or.
Ex-Governor Chadwick
has requested 1110 to write you concerning the
status of your company as a part of the Ore
con Xational Guard. I have talked with the
Governor about the matter, and it is his un
derstanding that inasmuch as your company
was regularly organized, and Us officers duly
commissioned, it will be entitled to recogni
tion as a part of the Oregon National Guard
upon compliance w ith the conditions of the
new militia law, a printed copy of which I
sent you a few days ago. As the militia fund
will not be available for several months, I
presume the Adjutant General will not be
able to furnish uniform, arms etc., for some
time. Yours Truly,

IXMEMOBIAM.
In memory of Mrs. Wm. Langenfcld who
passed this life away February 20th, 1887.
I cannot say, I will not say
That she is dead, she is just away,
With a cheery smile and a wave of her hand
She has wandered into an unknown land
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be since she lingers there.
And you, 0 you who the wildest yearn
For the old time step and the glad relurn,
Think of her faring on as dear
In the love of there as the love of here,
And loyal still as she gave the blows
Of her warriors strength to her country's foes
Mild and gentle as she was brave,
When the sweetest love of her life she gave
To simple things: Where the violets grew,
Ture as the eyes they were likened to.
The touch of her hands have stayed
He reverently as her lips hive prayed,
When the little brown thrush that hoarsely
Was dear to her as the mocking bird chirred
And she pitted as much as a man in pain
A writhing honey bee wet with rain.
Think of her still as the same I say,
She is not dead she is just away.
THE CLERKSHIP SETTLED.
Judge Jones ended the contest by announc
ing at I o'clock yesterday the retention of
James Seavey as Clerk of the District and
naming W. E. Ledgerwood as deputy at Se
attle. The latter position is the one most
sought after, even though it be made sub
ordinate to the office at Port Townsend, for
with but a single exception it is the best pay
ing office in the Territory. The appointment
is certainly a good one. Mr. Ledgerwood,
who was at one time agent of the Wells, Far
go Express Company in this city, is a young
man of excellent character, well qualified for
the duties of the office and a courteous, in
dustrious gentleman. Politically, the Fost-
Intelligencer and Mr. Ledgerwood are as far
apart as the poles of the earth, nevertheless
his manhood forces respect. He is a partisan
democrat, and has no apology to make for his
benighted condition. And since from the
very nature of things a republican made of
the right kind of mttal could not hold the
ofiice, we are glad that it is a democrat, be
cause anything is letter than a monlity-mug-wump
would be. It is generally understood
that the appointment was brought about by
Oregon influence. Mr. Ledgerwood is an
Oregon man, but has resided in this Territory
nearly five years; hence in the appointment it
may be fairly stated that Judge Jones lias
risen above the policy of his party in recog
nizing the "eternal fitness of things" by an
appointment from the district over which he
presides. Seattle Post Intelligence.

To He Happy and Prosporou.
Men have talked muchof a universal brother
hood of mankind, but we are convinced that
the persuasive means of the thumb-screw of
the rack, the fagot or the inquisition can never
accomplish it, neither can ecclesiasticism in
any form. Men have also talked of turning
the sword into the plow share and the spear
into the pruning hook but this cannot be done
while partisan and sectarian strife endures.
Men have strove to secure happiness both here
and hereafter but they can never do so while
they despise the means which insure their hap.
pincss, they cannet sin and go unpunished.
To become happy and prosperous we must
depose error and let truth come to the front and
cgitiinate sphere.

The Hffett of Mental Ejrhanetxon.
Many diseases, especially those of the ner
vous system, are the products of daily renewed
mental exhaustion . Business avocations of
ten involve an amount of mental wear and
tear very prejudicial to physical health, and
the profTessior.s, if arduously pursued, are no
less destructive to brain and nerve tissue. It
is one of the most important attributes ot
Hostettcrs's Stomach Bitters, that it compen
sates for this undue loss of tissue, and that it
imparts new eneigy to the brain an! 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 o
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.
