Will Found. 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. C Winston, Jeptha Green, B. C.
Agcc and W. S. Humphrey, Vice President;;
E. II. Lenox, Secretary; Jas, Davlin, Treas
urer; J. W. Dillard, Jas. Byran, D. S. K.
Buick, J. C. Fullerton, C. W. Johnston and
S. C. Miller, Directors. D. S. K. Buick,
Jas. Byron, and W. S. Humphrey were ap
pointed as a committee by the president to
draft By-laws. 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.

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.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within a few years, has astonished
the world . It is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
t
and effectual cure of Coughs, Colds and the
severest Lung troubles. It acts on an - en-
ureiv uiuerent principle irom tne usual pre.
scriptions given by rnysicians, as it docs not
dry up. a coiigh and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in a purely healthy condition.
A bottle kept in the house for use when the
diseases make their appearance, will save
doctor's bills and a long spell of serious illness,
a inai win convince you 01 inese tacts, it is
positively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land .

The complimentary passes given to news
paper men by a county fair association in
Michigan read as follows: "This ticket has
probably been paid for a dozen times over by
the paper to which it is issued. - It will be
honored in the hands of any man, woman or
child, white or black, red or yellow, who
favors the association by presenting it. It is
good for entrance and the grand stand, and
the bearer, if driving, will.be entitled to pass
a team free. The association recognizes the
fact that its splendid success is owinc larcelv
if not wholly to the notices freely given by
the press and while we cannot render an
equivalent in cash we return our grateful
thanks." These Michigan people have a cor

GAWLER. In this city August 14, 18S7, at
3 o'clock A. M. Ruby, little daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Win. 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.

An Excursion Train Goes Through
Burning Bridge.
CiucAiiO, Aug. ii.A dispatch from
Chatsworth, Illinois, says an excursion train
left Bloomington last night for Niagara Falls
on the Illinois Central, the intention being to
go oy mat road as far as Chatsworth, and from
mere Dy way of the Toledo. Peoria & WtPm
The change was made in Chatsworth in Liv
ingston county. Soon afterward, as the train
neared Piper City, a small town in Ford
county, the bridge crossing the Vermillion

several cars down the steep embankment into

When the relief train from Peoria warred
its destination a sad ghastly sight was brought
10 view. 1 en coaches had either r one 1 hmimfe

They were conveyed to the town hall. srhn1

directions but jt was over four hours before
the tires were extinguished. The bridge is in
a very lonely spot, there being no house near,
and twice before obstructions have been dis
covered upon it. At least 80 people were
killed and many more injured.
The following particulars are from the Chi
cago Times special: It lacked just five min
utes of midnight. Down in the ditch lav the
second engine, engineer McCIintock dead and
nrcman Applegate badly injured. On top
were piled the three baggage cars, on too of
each othtr, like a child's card hem-u- nlW ha
had swept it with his hand. Then came the
six day coaches. They were telescoped as
errs never were before, and three of them
were pressed in just space enouch for one.
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. Instantly the air was filled
ith the cries of the wounded and the shrieks
of those about to die
The croans of men
and the screams of women united to make an
ippalling sound, and above all could be

Tucson A. T., Aug. u. The west bound
passenger train was robbed last nieht at
about the same place and time as the one on
the night of Apru 27
The engine and two
cars were ciitcnea. The sheriff is raisinf a
posse to pursue the robbers . Few details are
boarded the train and made their way to the
express car. The express manager was
knocked senseless, and the robbers succeeded
in securing $3500.
A RICH HAUL.
Neither the U. S. mail nor the passengers
were molested. 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. Lcrtainly they had all they could
carry.
Sheriff" Shibcll and posse were on the trail
at day light. The robbers were on foot at
the place the money was opened. ' They
divided, two going north and two going south.
The posse also divided. A squad of fifteen
of the U.S. cavalry, with four days rations,
is also in pursuit .
THE TRAIN ROUUERS ELUDE CAPTURE.
1 1 cso.v, A. T. Aug., 15. Sheriff Bell's
possc rciurncu this afternoon. All tiace of
the tram robbers has been obliterated by rain,
Still there are hopes of taking them. It is
thought that had the rain kept off twenty -four
hours the posse would certainly have captured
them, as they had been well run down, but
kept in the mountains. The search has not
yet been abandoned. The posses has some
important clues which they think will vet
bring success. A oartv of Indi.nne win' n
out to-night to scour the country for tracks.

The (iinnt Powder Works at West BerI.eteu
Destroyed.
San Francisco, Aug., 11. 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.
The flames ignited a large quantity of dyna-

was tell that another explosion might occur
night. The loss is about twenty-five thou

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.
And may these lines seive as a iust token
Of the Muses eaddened spell.
As though from the lips tbou heard'st them
spoken
As we bid to thee our last farewell.
