Joseph Stephens, Jr., has been in this neighbor, hood for a short time gathering a band of about forty-five head of horses with which he will start next Tuesday for Los Angeles. Joe, Jr., is but about twenty-one years of age, but he exhibits the capacity of his father, wbo was well known here as a wide awake business man. Good Reports. By a "reference to our correspondence this week can be noticed the new and vigorous spirit of enterprise that in taking such strong hold of Douglas county. For instance, Dr. Mackey advocates the organization of a medical society, an exper ienced gentleman discourses on the fruit in dustry, and his article is ably supplemented by our Myrtle Creek correspondent in an item on prunes, while our itcmizcr from South Deer Creek tells of horses, chickens, butler and jellies to be entered at the county fair. Old Douglas is booming. Now or Never. "Don't let your best opportunities pass you like the sunbeams" No, when you see the sample casket of Tlatcd Silver Ware from Ihc Standard Silver Ware Co. of Boston, Mass. with all statements about the ware printed by the alorcsaid firm, or those interested in the growth of Method ism, see our fine Illustrated History of Method ism, or see the jtut merits of the Tatent fence, carefully deliberate and quickly decide, if you can, and let M. E. Judkins take your order. Yours for honor. M. E. Judkins. Probably Insane. One W. R. T. Ryan, who was indicted at the May term of court i8S6, in this county for forging a note on J. R. Dodge, of Oakland, and who went crary and was sent to the asylum, was recen tly dischaigcd fro ai that institution. He again made his appearance in Roseburg and was arrested Sunday for disorderly conduct by Marshal Howard. He is now in jail under the old indictment. Acts as though he were crazy and gives his name as J. C. Lyons. lie is evidently a hard character and should bo cither in the asylum or penitentiary. Investigation of Roads. Oregon wagon roads are to be investigated, Acting Secretary of Interior, Muldrow, has notified the Dallas Military Wagon Road Company, the Oregon Central Wagon Road Company, and Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain Wagon Road Company, of Oregon. that Tohn B. McNamee, of the offices of the Assistant Attorney General, and Gabriel C Wharton, of the General Land Office, have been appointed commissioners to investigate these roads, and that they will meet in Salem, Oregan, August 10th, to hear testi mony on the issues involved. For Coos Co Fair. Two noted flyers Bingo and Garfield arrived in this city from Lane County Tuesday on their way to the annual meeting of the Southwestern Oregon Agricultural Society. Bingo is the horse which defeated Mr. Hume's Maplewood year ago in a mile race at a meeting of the same association. Mr. Hume however, was not convinced that Bingo was trie better horse and proposed giving him another chase at the coming fair; but the race is not to take place as Maplewood died a few days ago, much to the regret of those who take pleas ure in honest trials of speed. Bingo and Garfield are likely to be present at the meet ing of the Douglas County Agricultural and Mechanical Association. Nearing Completion. The forces of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company are now within fourteen miles of Ashland by thi: wagon road, but there is some difference in the distance by a straight line. Track is laid up to the Siskiyou tunnel, but no station has been mr.de there as there is no available place. Consequently the four big six horse stage coaches run daily between Asblanl and Coles. Work on the remaining 500 feet of the tunnel is being pushed with great rapidity. Not a minute of the twentyfour hours in the day, or the seven days in the week, is lost. Three shifts are at work, changing every eight hours. It is claimed that 5000 men are employed on the road, 3000 of whom are Chinese, according to Wring Sing, the Chinese contracter. Work is going on at both ends of the big bore, and it is believed that it will be finished in September. LOCAL BRE ViriES. Doom! I Truncal Harvest. Little news. Bright days. Lovely weather.

Whitteniore, who i well known in this county as a" learned physician and skillful surgeon, may now be found at Geo. Dements. Myrtle Creek. Judging from the amount of printer's ink used we would imagine that Ralston Cox, the people's grocer, of Corva'Iis was traveling the royal road to wealth. It is safe to say that The Review is enjoying the largest circulation ever attained by a paper in Douglas county. This fact is of great interest to advertisers. Smith Baily of the Depot hotel is already doing a rushing business. His patrons speak well of the manner ia which he con ducts the house. Consult his ad.

"Facts are stubborn things," and sufferers from Chill and Fever find this complaint a very stubborn fact until they commence the use of Aycr's Ague Cure. This medicine never fails to cure even the worst cases. Abe Blackburn, the man who was arrested in Yamhill county for being the leader of the mob who lynched Oscar Kelty, the Polk county murderer, has had has preliminary ex amination at Dallas and been discharged. good meeting of the Prohibition club was held at the court house on Monday evening last, Mr. Garwood delivering the address.

The Review acknowledges with pleasure the receipt of an invitation to attend a meet ing of the cditoral fraternity of Oregon at Yaquina City on Friday and Saturday, August I2lh and 13th, to assist in organizing a State Press Association. Greater benefits may be derived from the vacation season if, at the same time, the blood is being cleansed and vitalized by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. An increase of appetite, vigor, and buoyancy of spirits attend the use of this medicine. Wc received a call this week from J. S. Moore, one of the proprietors of Moore's Hair Invigorator. Mr. Moore is introducing his preparation to druggists throughout the coun try. Those who have used the invigorator are highly pleased with the r esull . News reached Roseburg, This week that Capt.

The Portland News has changed hands, A.N. Hamilton, after four years of hard and unsuccessful labor retireing and J. D. Wilcox becoming the proprietor, with Lyle M, Aumack as business manager, W. A. Mc Therson, editor, and Nat. L. Baker, sisling in some unknown capacity. The Oakland Enterprise accuses Roseburg of mossbackism in regard to a woolen . mlil. When it is considered that Aaroa Rose offers water power and building lots free worth from $10,000 to $15,000 and that our citizens would undoubtely raise a bonus of from $5ooo to $7,000, the charge is not well founded. Senator Dolph will remain in Oregon for some time. lie will take part in the Water way convention to be held at The Dalles in August. He is in correspondence with U. S. Senators Alison, Vest, Cameron and Tlumb and Gov. Ilauscr, now visiting the northwest and will endeavor to induce them to visit Yaquina bay, the mouth of the Columbia, the Cascades and other places in Oregon where public works are being prosecuted before they return to the east. W e have never believed there was any profound trade secrets involved in the manufacture of durable, as well as swect-toned organs. We arc happy to say that we arc sustained in this by the opinion of the largest and most reliable manulactory in the world. The Bcethovhn Organ Company, of Washing ton, Warren Co , N. J., openly assert they owe their astonishing success to following these simple business rules: "To buy the best, to make the best and sell for a reasona ble profit direct to the purchaser." "Only this and nothing more" has built up their immence business. A MEDICAL SOCIETY. A rUYSlCTAN ADVOCATES A D'vtGLAS I COUNTY ASSOCIATION. To the Physicians of Douglas County: I desire in thus publicly addressing you, to urge the importance of our taking such action as will result in the organization of a County Medical Society. It is within the memory of men now living that doctors of medicine refused to admit that they had anything to learn, and practi- cally refrained from opportunities for compar- ison of dilferent views of disease and the I means of curing the same. They did not gather in bodies from different points, for the apparent reason that they desired ?11 people to understand that each member of the pro- fission was as well equipped at all times for the conflict with the common enemy, as he could become by any amount of talking mat- ters over with his fellows. Happily, it has become a fact acknowledged in medicine, that no one man, whether his degree may have I comc Irom i.asiern or western scnoois, or however great his experience may have been in his work, knows all there is lo be learned, As ihe varieties of the attacks upon the health I cf man arc practically infinite, so also are Ihe means by which those altacks may be warded off, with greater or less success. By the com- parison 01 experiences in me wcrs 01 ucaiing r . 1 - e I 1: I by difierent men, under different circumstances 1 r v. 1 r : 1- 1 i I u, iwi.uuu, V! v.m.aic .l.iu aiu..i.w.v. conditions, of sun and shade, of stillness and noisiness, and of various other things the "u,l,,ra uuiuui is "CH'B """ general medical practice and the beneficial retained. The utility of a well conducted county soci ety will be readily recognized by every mem bcr of the profession. What say my old friends, Drs. Page, Kuykcn lall and Graham to the proposition ? T. C. Mackey, M. Gardiner, Or., July 25th, 1SS7. THAT PRIZE. D. DOUGLAS COUNTY SHOULD NOT FAIL TO SEND AN EXHIBIT. j n-tv.n-iiv.v 1" uul ' wi l be noticed that the board of managers of the State Fair offer a prize of $150 lo the ...nliF ..-.il-inrr ill. IukI pvlltlilt llf &hmf tOt tm,mm nml fn.it. Now. hv b ' f , , , c all means, Douglas county should compete for this prize and make a creditable exhibit. It would be a big advertisement of our county and her wonderful resources lo enter into friendly competition with sister counties, in a magnificent exhibition that would do credit to the state of Oregon, let the prize go where it may. But it would require the united effort of all our farmers and fruit growers. Is there 1 a sufficient spirit of enterprise in the county to make this exhibition, and to make it wliat it should be? The Review is not endeavor inf to inaugurate any short lived boom, but is confident that we have the finest section of country that ever laid out of doors, the most trlorious climate beneath the blue-vaulted sky, and resources as vet untouched and undevel- oped in their vastnessand magnitude. So let a complete exhibition 01 me prouucis 01 county be made at the State Fair. THE FRUIT BUSINESS. t .1 1 . I this COKRKSru.NDE.NT ENDORSES WHAT REVIEW SAID ON THIS SUBJECT. THE Editor Review: It is with pleasure that I note the good work being done by your val uable paper in the interest of Douglas county. We have the soil, the climate and the resources necessary for the support of a rich, prosper ous and happy people. What is now needed is for the farming community to realize the condition of affairs and by means of diversified crops start on the high road to prosperity, for a thriving agricultural district presages good times throughout all Ihc branches of trade, The constant widening of tho market indi rates that the fruit induitrv is to become a growing source of revenue lo this section, and those who were foresighted enough several years since lo sec that such would be the case, will rc?.D a rich harvest this year. Especially i this the case with nruncs. thai most salable of lril fruits. The wants of the market should be carefully watched and the farmer should be. thoroughly posted on the best and easiest way to improve his condition. Just at ihinrr nnints to a constantly in- creasing demand for the product of judiciously planted orchards. W. C. A (iOOD BUSINESS ROSEUUIG'S PROSPEROUS MERCHANT TAIL ORING ESTABLISHMENT. A reporter of The Review dropped in to the tailoring establishment -,of II. Tarry this , ,b . p,. ' week, and was shown in addition to a fine stock of suitings on hand, some two hundred samples of cloth direct from Chxago, consist- ing of fine imported French, Irish, German im, wi in". , , and English goods in all varieties, qualities and shades. Also samples of the best Amen can goods of the same character. Mr. Parry is a first class workman and 111 the four years of his residence here has built up a business of which Roseburg may be justly proud. 1 lis business, small at first, has been constantly growing, owing to good work and low prices, and Mr. Tarry, now auiy assisteu Dy ivir. james Slattery, a thorough master of the tailor's art, is kept constantly busy supplying his many customers with the best that good taste and skilled , work can manufacture. Give Mr, Tarry a call and be dressed in the fashion. The n'est Shore. The midsummer number of The West SHORE is a beautiful and attractive one. There is a charm of freshness and novelty about this magazine that is lacking in all Olher publications. Its elegant engravings of Western scenes and picturesque landscapes are not equaled by anything else published, while the mass of information it gives month ly about Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mor tana, British Columbia and Alaska is extreme ly valuable. The midsummer number contains large engravings of the city of Astoria and the mouth or the Columbia river, the seaside resorts, the salmon canneries, and others, all of them accopipanicd by interesting descrip live articles. The other contents are entertain ing and valuable. Published by L. Samuel, Portland, Oregon, al $2.50 per year.

MOVING FORWARD THE IDENLES OF PROGRESS CAN BE : SEEN ON EVERY HAND. 1 A . . it is highly gratifying to The Review to note the spirit of progress and advancement all along the line of endeavor. To begin with, the thorough : business administration of county affairs, the building of bridges, wher ever needed and other improvements under- taken indicates the proper spirit. Then might be .mentioned the County Fair organization, the promoters of which cannot be too highly commended, and our people should sec to it that this exhibition is a success. Next, Rose burg's new public 'School building, work on which has begun deserves mention as one' of the best indications of the time. Another point of public interest is the large amount of work being done ori the railroad, and the cm- pldyment of white men instead of Chinese, on all sections where they can be secured Following this, may be noted the recent large sales of real islatc and the number of investi- f""'3 -"'"'g 10 iaKe a look at our lavoreel region. We could continue lo enumerate the signs of the limes but sufficient has been given to show tliat the boom is upon us. CONFERENCE REPORT. .. . the APPOINTMENTS OF THE M. E.

The beginning of disease is a slight debility or disorder of some of the vital organs, the onacn, u e over or in oowe.s usuany. There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is troublCsomc, the skin crows tawny and lin healthy looking, there arc pains in the right side 01 through the right shoulder blade. 1 he climax is often an utter prostration of the phy- Scal energies perhaps a fatal issue. But if the. difficulty is met in time with Hostetter's - Stomach Bitters, which is always effective as a remedy, and it shou d be resorted to at an early stage, there will be no reason to appre hend those injurious subsequent pftcts iinnn the system often entailed by entirely cured diseases.

Don't Experiment. Yon cannot afford to waste time in experi menting when your lungs are in danger. Consumption always stems at first, only a cold. Do not permit any dealer to impose upon yon with some cheap imitation of Dr. King's Isew Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, but be sure you get the genuine. Because he can make more profit he may tell you he has something just as gooa, or just the same, Hon t be deceived, but insist upon getting Dr. King s New Dis covery, which is guaranteed to give relief in all Throat, Lun? and Chest affections.

Prof. Boggs and family returned this week from their tri lo the liill country round about Drain, and report blackberries scarce, but "mountain goats" abundant. Mrs. R. M.

Gov. and Mrs. Chadwick, of Salem, Mrs. Barker and Mrs. Pitzer Smith, of Roseburg, and J. L. Smith, of Elkton, were here on Tuesday attending the obfequics ol their sister Mrs. Kelly. Our town has Lccn over run with tramps this week. Several of Ihcm claimed lo be members of the Grand Army, and were inquir ing for old soldiers from whom ihey claimed assistance. We expect one of these days to have to record the death of from one to half a dozen boys, being killed by the cars at our depot. It is ccrtanly the duty of some one to put a stop lo the little boys climbing about ihe freight cars when in motion . Mr. F. M. Simpson, living near Drain, handed us this week a sample of tobacco grown on his farm . This is a fine specimen of the weed, and has been well cured. Mr. Simpson says this plant can be profitably cultivated in Douglas county, and his samples dcmonslialc iho correctness of his judgment. ROXANA. Mrrttc Creik Items.

When I awake in the morning, 1 imagine I am in Portland on account of the number of railroad trains that come and depart from this place. I tell you the railroad boys make a good deal of noise if nothing more. During the week, Hun. John Hall and wife, accompanied by Mrs. D. S. K.

Nichols and F.lmer Catching, of Riddle, ditto. Fur the benefit of your readers, a few words about Myrtle Creek may not be out of place. The town is on lhe improve. Its growth is healthy and its climate faultless, and as for location, no town in the Elate can beat it. Broadway is the main business street. At the corner of Broadway and Church street, F. M, Gabbcrt has started a new store. He is a wide-awake man and you will find him early and late ready to attend to the wants of his customers. During the past week, he has put up a fine awning in front of his store. Now that Myrtle is well supplied with stores, there is no need of trading elsewhere. A few years ago, a man named Evans, became for a few years, a resident of this sec tion and while here he induced a number of farmers to set out prune and plum orchards and put up driers, etc. While he was here, the business was. not considered a bonanza and ne was caueu a bad egg. lint lie staited a business that will ere long pay better than raising grain or bacon, and Myrtle ought to have a public park and erect a monument to Evans. The writer of this article has and is paying a good deal of attention to prunes and this section of country cannot be beat for quantity and quality. This yearVyield bids fair to be fair with a prosiect of good prices, and the American drier is hard to beat. X. X. X. Elkloii Xotes. Harvesting in full blast. The plum crop i almost a failure. Bom.

NOTES FROM ALL THE WORLD FOR BUSY READERS. OREAT EXCITEMENT. The excitement caused by the introduction of the Glen bill in the Georgia legislature is unabated and grows every day. The bill pro vides for the punishment of any teacher who instructs white and coloicd children in the same institution. Gkn says the sentiment of ihe people of Georgia is strongly in favor of the bill, but he fears opposition from some of the politician?, who will oppose the bill in order to avoid censure or ciiticisiu from the north. The Negroes are loud in their protests against the measure. Indignation meetings have been largely attended, and resolutions were drafted showing the sense of the meet ing. A memorial tolhe legislature was started and signed by over S60 colored citizens. Tliis memorial asked .the legislature not to allow the passage of the bill, asserting thai it is op pressive, unjust and unconstitutional. WONDERFUL INVENTION. Harvey B. Cox, a young Ohio electrician, claims to have invented a trumpet, to be used for telephoning at sea. The invention is the outgrowth of his discovery of the great dis tance an echo or reverberation will earry, and the discovery that speaking trumpets, if made lo give ihe same fundamental note, could vi 1 irate and produce the same phenomena, known in acoustics as sympathy. With this trumpet a conversation in an ordinary Jone of voice was carried on between persons four and one-fourth miles apart. People sitting in their windows, or on their porches, a mile away, conversing in an ordinary tone could be dis tinctly heard . By listening to the whistle of a train and tracing it beyond stations, the in strument was found to possess a well-defined range of twenty six miles. A MENAC-EKIE W KECK ED. The breakiug of an axle on one of the stock cars of John Robinson's circus at Yirginia city resulted in the wrecking of four cars. The "s:cred cow" was tossed on top of one of the cars, an.l one of the large elephants was over- turnd and had its leg broken. The beast shrieked with pain and terror, and refused to allow its keeper to approach . It upset a flat- car with its trunk. The commotion after the smashup was indescribable. Lions roared, Boa serpents hissed, sacred cattle bellowed, monkeys chattered, tigers growled and hyenas howled. The din aud uproar roused ranchers from their slumber for miles around. The wounded elephant was finally side-tracked with its keeper, the animals quieted down, and I the train moved on towards Reno. ADVANCE IX TOBACCO. Information was received in San Francisco from the east on the 26th by a leading tobacco importing house that the crop of leaf in Vir ginia wonld be almost a failure this season. Excessive heat has been the cause of this dis aster. Simultaneously with the news, a dis patch came lo hand that in Sumatra tobacco for export would also be short. As soon as tho intelligence became known, dealers and jobbers in plug and fine cut weed raised the I piioc 6 cents a pound all around, while Su matra leaf holders asked for their goods an enhanced value of 60 cents a pound. The stock of Sumatra leaf in first hands is slated to be very small, barely sufficient for six months local consumption.

' j ITHOS. L. GAX.VON, J. P. V.?'; A SCIENTIST'S WARNING. SynopsU of a Remarkable I.ectur De livered by Or. H. E. Hammond Before the National Scien . , tists' Convention. "We tall this an 'age of progress,' and so in many respects it is, but I do not hesitate to declare most emphatically that in many things that constitute true happiness we are simply children. Let nstfee: Wre are starlksa constantly by the sudden death of some man who seemed the Dicture of health. He thought he was well. Occasionally his appetite was ioor, but then in afew days afterward it. was ravenous. He felt -strange pains shooting through his body, but as they did not stay long ho forgot, them. His head pained him periodically. he was somewliat paler than common, and was unaccountably tired, but he felt comparatively well and vigorous. And yet he suddenly died! It is a shame to our boasted civilization." Dr. Hammond then instanced a number of persons well known to him who had died in great agony, although they had experienced few symptoms and little pain, and continued : that so many little THE BIDDEN HEATH. "Why is it children are to-dav stunted, and ap- , Darentlv blighted for life? Because those . early and inevitable diseases, meaales, scarlatina, etc., have so weakened cer tain organs that nature cannot do hei W07V, and the child languishes, perhaps dies. Look at the list of women who die in childbirth, and why is it? Syuply because their maternal organs have been so weakened by tho most terrible of all diseases that they cannot wittistand the fearful sudden strain that is brought to bear upon them. How many women escape monthly agonies? And yet nature never intended that pain or incon venience should attend the otwration ol her natural laws. The solemn and terrible fact is that men and women drag along, die, and are buried, and their -friends audjhe doctors say heart disease, apoplexy, pneumonia, congestion, con Tulsions, when the cause lay far back of these things and was Bright's disease of the kidneys. That was the inward cause ; ttiese are tue outward manifes tations. Every disease must have a root, jtiBt as certainly as every plant. Kidney disease is the great root from which most modern diseases, no matter what their name may be, actually spring. "But because the kidnevs are so im-" portant, so delicate, and so powerful, they require the greatest care in treat ment. Ever since the dav when Dr. Bright discovered the connection be tween morbid outward isymptoms and internal decay, physicians, scientists. and chemists have sought for a pure and powerful relief. It has been a difficult, often a fruit less search. Many rpiriftdips arp, now h- TZr fore the public, but so tt to learn bv chemical ""fe" aa us hsvv uuiv. test, only one possesses absolute merit ..and power. I have seen a" number of cases, and learned from unques tionable sourceB o f many others, where the w at Kjpr child. preparation Hunt's &Se' Remedy has been almost remirkable in its results. One case in particular was that of a prominent banker residing in New York, whose family rhysicians, assisted bv the best counsel that citv could produce, declared his case to be nopeiess, anu who was auerwara re Stored to perfect health by the means I have named. I have not hesitated to use it freely among my patients, and from the results I have secured, 1 shall con tinue to do so. The doctor explained how men and women should live in order to meet this terrible malady, and instanced several additional cures which had followed the use of the remedy before referred to. In concluding be said : "XI men anu women could only be aroused to a realization of their actual danger ; to a sense of what is before them unless they take prompt and proper action, and then by a correct course of life and the nse of just the right means seek to prolong their lives, most of the present suffering and untimely deaths might and would be avoided."
