the ads." ' .

A Good Ledge. From Erank,Oggier Esq.
wlo has just returned from the Grave creek
mines, we learn thit Homer Ilarkness
has the finest quartz ledge in Southern Oregon.
The lead is 20 feet in width and prospects well
all over the ledge. It is possible that our
precious mineral resources are just beginning
to be lound out.

W. U ., returned to his home in Roseburg last
night, after having spent the past winter in

the law oitice 01 cn. n. '""""i -
city. Mr. Conn was called home to look
after his business interests in Douglas, county.
His genial- face wiil be missed by his many
friends in this city. Salem Statesman.
Settled Dowx. The public opinion is
quietly settling down in the belief that Mrs.
Bruckner did commit suicide. Letters to her
husband found in her trunk since he came
home, and some other marks make a suicide
possible. Yet there are some circumstances
that are hard to reconcile with the suicide
theory.

ly Examiner $1.50 per year, and the Sunday

nvnutes of the previous meeting we listened
to Mr. G. W. Gengcr who spoke at some
length. Mr. B. F. Ramp was then called
for who gave us a short address, Mr. Benja
min also gave us a short speech. Col. John
Lane was elected president to fill the unex
pired term of Mr. Benjamin. The meeting
adjourned to meet in two weeks.
Lee Bell, Sec.
The Fourth of July. The immortal
Fourth of July comes on a pace. The bugler
bloweth, the little lxy thinks of fire crackers,
the little girl e-f her ribbons, the big girl thinks
of her beau, the patriot thinks of the revolu
tion, and the newspaper editor, what does he
think about poor fellow. His thoughts are
unstrung, he has hung his harp upon the wil
low, and to revive his drooping spirits, some
may offer him a glass of lemonade or soda
water.

Hard Names. The name ofChcmkete
or Chemeketa, as you will have it, is net very
hard for old residents of Salem, any more than
are the names Waukiakum, Claqato, Fuyallup
or Snohomish to old residents of Washington
territory, but I have seen strangers run up
against this name, wrestle with it fot a time,
and give up in despair with a lame jaw. The
other day a drummer from Oshkosh, Michi.
gan, arrived in this city, lie had been given
the name. in sections by a fellow traveller, and
had utterly failed, after having nearly choked
himself to death So when he got off of the
train, he interrogated a native as follows, to-
wit: "Say, where's that d Injun hotel?"
lie meant the hotel with the Indian name.
Salem Statesman.
School MEETlNG.-r-The called school
meeting for last Monday was very well at
lened, 6o voters present, and every one in fa
vor of a school house to cost from $10,000 to
$14,000. Also a S mill tax was voted to
" irry on Jhe school. 19 mills was levied on
he taxable property of this distnet, to raise
the first third of the $14,000 which was voted
for the new school building. $250,000 was
made the basis for this levy, but it is hoped it
will go much higher. We believe a good
house can be built for from ten to twelve
thousand dollars to entirely meet the school
exigencies of the case in this district for a
number of years to come. General good will
prevailed, and no difference of opinion was
manifested except upon the price of the build
ing. This angurs a brighter day for Rose
burg. Sabbath School Convention. On last
Sabbath morning the M. E. Sabbath school

a gang ol train robbers about 10 o'clock, at

and about $4000 taken, the messengers
were compelled to throw up their hands, and

Several Steerage I'atacngere Killed Both
Teasel Severely Damaged.
New York, May 22. Thursday, May 19,
at 5:20 pm, while the weather was calm and
smooth, the British steamer Celtic, of the
White Star line, from Liverpool, came into
collision with the British steamer Britannic, of
the same line, from New York for Liverpool,
striking her on the port side aft, and doing
considerable damage. The Britannic's boats
were lowered and filled with women and
children from the cabin and slect.tge, in an or
derly and expeditious manner. It is to their
shame that several mem forced themselves in
to the boats. Meanwhile an examination was
made, and the damage to the Britannic ascer
tained, and it being found that the vessel was
likely to founder, such boats as were in hail
were recalled and their occupants received on
board. The others had boarded the Celtic,
A pad was male and placed over the hole in
the Britannic's side, and she was turned
about toward New York, having arranged
with the Celtic to keep company.
The saddest and most deplorable result of
the accident is, that several steerage pas
sengers who were lounging about at the time
of the collision were killed, and several oth
ers injured . i
Both vesseLs accompanie3 by the steam
ship Mareneo (British), from Swansea for
New York, and the British Queen (British),
from Liverpool for New York, arrived at the
bar at I o'clock this morning. The above

who refused any further information. Some
steerage passengers from the Bntannic are
stopping at the Miners Arms, hotel, No. 2

Omaha, May li. The third day of the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church
of the United States opened at 9 o'clock with
hall an hour of devotional exercises. ' The
question of X consolidated magazine was
made the special order for Monday. Among
the communications . referred to appropriate
committees were 1 the . following subjects:
Organic union with the Southern Church,
abolition of the Committee on Temperance,
amending the confession of faith relating to
the spiritual character of the church, dismiss
ing the Board of fissions for freedmen, dis
posing of the property of dissolved churches,
publication of the names of the Evangelists'
Church Union and the best means of amend
ing the constitution. . The Committee on
Overtures reported upon the overtures from
several Presbyteries that some action ought
ta be taken with j reference to an organic
union between ttos old and south chufthes.
The committee introduced a resolution which
they had adopted,' that as the assembly had
on yesterday taken an affirmative action on
the same subject the matter needed no further
attention. The reprt was adopted.
I A resolution was adopted that no executive
officer or employe of the publication board, or
a member of any other benevolent loard ,of
the church, shall be a- member of the board of
publication. The resolution was adopted
that the board of publication shall consist of
four ministers and four ruling elders who shall
serve for one year, four ministers and four
fuling elders to scfve two years, four ministers
and four ruling elders to serve three years,
irom the third Tuesday of June, 1887. and
each succeedinggeneral assembly shall elect
four ministers and four ruling elders to serve
three years thereafter. The annual collection
in the churches for the benefit of the board
shall hereafter be known as the collection for
Sabbath school work. Adopted.
T-.i :i 1 , , ....
ana puunsning work shall be in
another department under the editorial and
publishing supcrintendant. Adopted. Rev,
James A. Worden was appointed superinten
u-..i ji uic oauDam scnool and missionary
work; Rev. J. R. Miller, editorial and pub
lishing superintendent; John A. Black, busi
ness superintendent. The secretary of the
board, who shall be the chief executive officer,
will be selected hereafter. The board thai
do organized June 31, 18S7. The report of
the committee on ministerial support made by
ut. 1 hraner of Sing Sing staled that the
maximum amount afforded needy ministers
was $3000, the average imount being less
than $200. There has been paid into the
treasury during the year $136,323, an in.
crease ol $16,000 over the previous year.
The Perth-Amboy (N J.) Ministers' Home
is accommodating about thirty ministers.
Relief has been given to foreign missionaries.
Renewed energy in the cause of aiding aged
ministers was recommended. There are fifty
five more families on the relief roll this year
than last year. Nevertheless a good showing
was made, with a good working balance of
$21,000. Dr. Cattell of Philadelphia, who
spoke eloquently on this subject, urged a great
effort to raise $1,000,000 as a centennial fund
for the support of the board.
Rev. Taylor of the Reformed Church, up
on being introduced, stated that he had been
delegated by the synod of the body to convey
a brotherly greeting to the assembly and
hoped that the inner union would become
still more intimate between both churches.

The Effeeta of Mental Ejrhauation.
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 proffessions, 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 compen
sates for this undue loss ol tissue, and that it
imparls neweneigy 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 o
mental exhaustion, this potential medicine
cures and prevents feverand ague, rheumatism
chronic dyspepsia and constipation, kidney
and uterine weakness and other complaints.
Physicians also commend it as a medicated
stimulant and remedy,
