A few days ago the will of Den Ilolliday, who died in Portland, July Sth, 18S7, was filed for probate in Portland, lie bequeathes to his wile Esther his Portland residence and all its appurtenances and the sum of $50,000; to his son Den Ilolliday, Jr., all his interest in the steamships Pelican and California; and the remainder of the eslatc to his grand-daughter Maria, daughter of his daughter Jennie, now deceased, formerly the wife of Count Arthur dcPortales. His brother Joseph Ilolliday, Henry Hampton and L. M. ' Barlow, e.xecuters of the will, without security. Joseph Holiday filed the will, and a petition asking that he be appointed executor and Geo. W. Weidler administrator of the estate. The estate is valued at $500,000. Leader. RostntRO School House. The base ment walls of this new building will be com pleted in three weeks, at which time the car pentcis will begin their work. The house will be rcar'y for use by the first of January The model is similar to the Albany public school building; but when completed the Roseburg edifice will be the larger, the more durable as well as the more beautiful . It will be put up at a bargain and Lit would be difficult to give its exact valuv? but at the rate Albany paid for her school nousc, which was very reasonable, the Roseburg school building will bcvTcfKjvorth $23,000. This will be the fincsrpublic school house in Ore Ron, south of Salem, and w ith the sole excep tion of (lit East Salem building, Tfle the most elaborate south of PortlaiW J Proi EC i i he Deer. Persons who have recently come in from ttc foothills bring the information that the wolves arc killing off all the deer, says a Vancouver paper. It is gen erally known that the wild animals arc on the increase in this county and in the adjacent mountains, and unless something is done to reduce their numbess, deer and elk will soon be known no more in these parts. It isn't a game law so much that vd need for the pro tection of deer, but an increased bounty for the scalps of wild animals, especially wolves, coyotes, lynx, wild cats and cougars. Stock raisers r.re also losers to the amount of hun dreds of dollars in this county every year from the depredations of wild animals. Let the bounty oh scalps be raised. County Fair Meeting. At the meeting of the county Agricultural and Mechanical Association at the fair grounds near Dillards last Saturday, August 13, the following officers were elected: 1?. B. Brock way, Pres ident; W.

The time of holding the fair was changed from Sept. 14, to 17, to 7, to 10, so as not to conflict with the State fair. The stock of the association was raised from $500, to $2000, and the number of shares limited to each stock holder frem 25 to 100. The Entertainment. The entertain rrtcnt Wednesday evening given by the home talent for the benefit of the library associa tion was a grand success. It was the origi nal intention to have had two evenings and the Drummer boy of the Rappahannock; Major Ilendershot, was to be the leading attraction, but through some misapprehension the Major was not on hand, but most fortun ately by throwing the programme -"for both evenings into one, a most excellent literary treat was the result. The hall was filled with a large audience, who expressed their appreciation by frequent applause. We have not space to individualize but the sleigh vide by Mrs. Flint and Mrs. Fullerton was an cxcel'ent musical imitation. . The songs by Miss Belle Willis and Miss Maud Ragon were deservedly encored. The recitation by Miss Bertha . Bellows was splendid, and the select readings by Mrs. Nina l.arowe, a Portland elocutionist prove her successful in her profusion, ant Wln aid jn securing her a crowded bouse at the entertainment she purposes giving in this city soon.

N. Moore, P. , M. The ii'uoi Qiicaiton in ucanng with the liquor question we also have public sentiment to deal with. Therefore no political party dare make abso lute prohibition of the liquor traffic an issue. The Republican party no doubt is contempla ting it, but rests comparatively upon a pivot. It also contemplates without a doubt becom ing the "God and morality party" to incorpor ate their theology into the Constitution of the united States but it is afraid of the liberal element. The temperapce party has to main tain its position and fight ' its battles alone. The two behgerant political parties virtually acknowledge that the evils of intemperance are greater than the government which is "of the people, by the people, and for the people." It therefore governs the people instead of the people governing it. The Prohibition party cannot govern it un less it can govern the administration in its highest and mcst replete departments. Now seeing that there is a dcuarlment of our national govcrment bv the people etc., which sustains and protects the liquor traffic with other nations in cur slates irrespective of state prohibitory laws which render states p.v.verlc5s to enforce prohibition. The condi- 1; ion is but little if any better when state pro- 11; ibition is not interposed by importation sce- ng that the drug store becomes the liquor mporinm where the parson can have his 'ask filled if he desires. Therefore I suggest s a solution of this problem that the govern- cnt which represent the people control the ninafucture and sale of ardent spirits that the aflic wiih all of its concomitant evils no longer control the people.

Gawler, aged 1 year and 6 months. On Saturday about 4 o'clock the little child climbed upon the bureau where there was a bottle of its mother's cough medicine which contained considerable morphine and drank about two spoonfulls, of which spoonful was a dose for an adult. As soon as the fact was discovered the child was given an emetic which had no effect. Its Aunt, Mrs. Bales, who was present ran for a doctor and its mother carried the child to her sister-in-law's, Mrs. Beardsleys, where it lingered until 3 o'clock next morning when it died it spite of all efforts to resuscitate it.

The second car had crashed through the car aneau ol it, crushing the woodwork aside like tinder, and resting on the tops of the seats. while every passenger in the front car was lying dead and dying underneath. Out of that car but four people came alive. On top of the second car lay the third, the bottom smeared with the blood of its victims. The other three cars were not so badly crushed, but they were broken and twisted in every conceivable way, and every timber and beam represented a crushed human frame or a broken bone.

The robbers were fully half an nour rilling the express car. It is admitted by the officers of Wells fargo that $3000 was taken. It is cenerallv believed that the amount was nearer $20,000 or more. Five hundred yards north of the robberv was found a Back containing 1000 Mexican silver dollars, left by the robbers. Thev were trailed two and a half miles further north. Here they seemed to have divided the plun der. A number of gold coin sacks and coin paper packages had been opened, which indi- cattd that a large sum of money had been lanen.

An explosiot occurred at the works of the Berkeley Giant Powder Company, located in West Berkeley, opposite this city, at 1:45 o'clock this after noon. The shock Was of such force as to severely shake all the large buildings in this city and to create the impression that an earthquake had occured. Immediately after the explosion all that was left of the building took fire, and as 140 tons dynamite were stored in the magazines which had escaped explosion, great apprehension was icn uiui iioiuer explosion migm occur.

Son of old Neptune thou hast gone To the locker of the darksome grave, And friends are weeping all forlorn At the loss of one so truly brave. We knew thee in years long sped When full of energy and hope, By death thy chensh'd plans have fled For which thy intellect had'st full scope. In dangers hour thou wert in the van When bloody massacres were sadly rife. Thou shone forth a hero and died'st a man, And only yielded to God who tra-e thee life. Thou lived not in vain for yond sea-girt site That In early manhood thou boldly founded, For it thon put forth thy main and might. And so thy deeds shall be duly sounded, ror tis such men as thee when livinc. By acts of daring combined with skill Are ever to posterity irivinir Tokens of their fruitful will . But now thou'st gone, yet thy name shall live As one that did'st thy country serve, faults it thou had'st, man will forrivi- In admiration for thy brain and nerve. So rest thee in the tomb where loved ones laid thee, To sleep near sound of oceans roar, ihy spirit hast gone to Him that made thee To dwell in pence for evermore.
