Beautiful. Those fine photographs of
the ninety members of the legislature may be
seen at our office' in a few days. The clerks
arc included, and all are grouped together in
such an artistic style as to command the fayor
able criticism of ( the artist. When you visit
Salem go to Catterlin's and have your picture
taken. He is the artist that drew the pictures
of the legislators.
"Nevada." This thrilling drama in three
acts will be produced at Slocum's hall next
Friday evening by. the Jioseburg dramatic
company. Music, both vocal and instrumen
tal, will be introduced during the evening and
no pains will be spared to make this a first
ciasi entertainment. Proceeds for the benefit
of the lire department. Admission 50 cents,
children half price. Let all attend.
A Good School. The whole number reg
istered by the school clerk at the beginning of
this school year was 438. There were during
this year also 440 children in our public school;
" which shows that there are enough pupils from
outside of the district to swell the attendance
until it is larger than the number of children in
. the district. We venture to say not another
district in the state can boast of abetter school
patronage.
Endorsed. The Roseburg Review of
February 7th, has a leader on the state normal
schools, condemning the whole system as be
ing a farce. It favors abolishing normal
schools in Oregon until the state is able to es
tablish a first clasps school of its own for the
training of teachers. The so called normal
schools of the stale do not meet the require
ments is quite evident and it would probably
be more satisfactory if the system were abol
ished, or all colleges were empowered to grant
state diplomas. Ochoco Review.
Teachers Examination. The regular
examination of teachers was held in this city
Tuesday the full board being present consisting
I ot Profs. Hutchinson, County Supt., Blundell
1 and Horner. The new law played havoc
J with the teachers. Out of thirty-four appli
cants twelve failed entirely, and others just es
'. caped by the "skin of their teeth." .The new
law demands that teachers must improve or
take a back seat. We did not learn the names
of those that failed, but we did learn that the
graduates of the Roseburg public school stool
at Ihe "top of the heap." The questions for
these examinations are furnished by the State
Supt. in printed form, and these questions
must be answered in writing, so there can be
no doubt as to the examination. Out of the
fifty seven applicants in Salem Tuesday, eigh
teen failed entirely, while only six secured
first grade. The news of failures all over the
' Slate is about the same in proportion to the
number of applicants.
Old Douglas Ahead. Douglas county
journals lament the fact that overland passen
gers pass through Douglas county in the night
time and don't see and realize the beauty of
the landscape, and the fertility of the soil.
While this is true and to be regretted, no one
who knows Oregon half way well, needs to be
told that Douglas county possesses as great
inducements as alny part of our coast can offer.
Be it climate, soi!, scenery, products or peo
ple, Douglas county excels many other coun
ties and equals any. It is a great grazing
country, m a limited way brings marvelous
crops of grain, and as a fruit growing section
has the best possible conditions. The climate
is even and delightful . The soil is wonder
fully productive and its fruits cannot be sur
passed. Oregonian.
Portland democratic jjaily. it is
impossible that there should not shortly be a
morning paper established in Portland besides
the Oregonian. . The Oregonian itself ought
to welcome a decent competitor. And the
paper ought to be Democratic. It ought also
to be independent, self respecting, able. But
above all things it ought to be run as a buci
ness enterprise. It ought not to ask for pa
1 tronage for any other reason than it gives value
received. There ought to be no begging for fa
yor. Suph a paper so conducted would get the
support of Democrats and of a good many
Republicans. The field of discussion and
controversy for a great daily in a city like
Portland is so large that polities wouldehly
ie an incident! Yet it would satisfy the
Democrat heart to know that it had an expo
nent and a defender againgt unjust aspersions;
a mouth piece io speak the words of sober
ness and truth according to the Democratic
idea. Shall we have such a daily in Port
land? We join the Benton Leader and say
yes. - . -

Why should not Corvallis have a boom.
Benton Leader
We answer first, because Corvallis ought
not to want the earth, and secondly because
the river navigation laws would prevent any
boom being put in there.

. " ' M.
cue annual scnooL - meeting.
The annual school meeting met last Mon
day ai 1 o'clock and dieted considerable in
sefest. S. C. Flint was elected school direc
tor, and C. H. Fisher school clerk. The
nine mill tax that was voted to carry on the
school for the ensuing year, and pay the inter
est on the bonds it is thought w ill, be ample.
This reduction of tax is quite, a . relief to the
taxpayers in this district, and also shows that
the management of the school affairs have
been ample, yet economical. - The school is
in a flourishing state, and a .' better school
never has been taught in J Roseburg. The
school facilities appertaining! to the building,
are not to be excelled anyvhere in the state,
except in Portland and possibly Salem." The
educational interests of. Roseburg have taken
a forward move, and no one need hesitate to
come ths waylo get a -complete, -practical
education, fitting the young people for any
business in life. We are glad to see a deep
interest taken in the school affaire '
"A Converted Gambler."
Mason Long the "converted gambler," will
speak at the Baptist chnrch to night. - We do
not approve of this method ot advertising sin.
It is better for a man to live righteously from
his "youth up." A "converted gambler" is
no greater work to advertise than a converted
liar, or a converted prostitute, or a converted
sinner of any ordinary tjpe. ' The "greatest
conversion recorded in the Bible was St. Paul,
and he was no "gambler" but an upright gen
tleman in every sense of the word, 'humanly
speaking. Gambling is a very bad practice,
but advertising it, does more harm, than the
gambling itself, A '" proper advertisement
would be, "There will be preaching at the
Baptist church this evening by Rev. Mr.
Long."
Again, whenever the Devil's works will
draw more largely than the works of God,
then our state of society is quita morbid. If
to draw a crowd, one must advertise that he
has been in the service of his satanic mf.jesty,
in preference to saying that he has studied
deeply in the schools and colleges of our land,
and in the reading of the Holy Scriptures, and
the sciences, then indeed society is in a deplo-
able plight, and the vitiated taste of the
public would become evident.'- There are lots
of "converted gamblers" around town, but
some of them at least are ashamed to let peo
ple know that they ever did gamble at all.
Water Works. " -
Several of our citizens met at the court house
Monday evening to consider the question of
water works for the city. The "meeting was
called to order by W. F. Benjamin, and J. C
Fullerton was chosen to act as Chairman and
G. A. Taylor secretary. "After discussing the
question for some time it was decided that the
city is unable al piesent to construct a suita
ble system of water works and that they- are
only to be secured by forming a corporation or
a joint stock company for that purpose. A
committee of five was appointed to investigate
the subject and report at their earliest conven
lence. 1 he members of the committae are
T. R. Sheridan, D. S. K. Buick, W. S. Ham
ilton, O. L. Willis and W. F. Benjamin.
Now let us all give such encouragement to this
cummittee as will ensure the construction of
this much needed enterprise. Water works or
drouth, which?
Later: The water committee met last night
and incorporated with a capital stock of $20,-
000. 1 he articles were signed by u. L, illis,
T. R. Sheridan, W. S. Hamilton and. Buick
and Benjamin. The committee will solicit
slock right away, so let everybody add 10 per j
cent, to their property by making the water j
works a success.

The Inaugural Address a Docnment of

The Troeeasion Murclirs in a Heating Kain
In the Senate Chamber.
Washington, March 4. With simple
solemn ceremony, in the presence of all the
wisdom anil aiithorijy embodied in the co or
dinate branches of the government, , and sur
rounded by representatives of all the great
nations on the face of the globe, Benjamin
Harrison was to dayinducted into the high
est office within the gift of the American peo
pie. 1 " -
1 Never was such a crowd in Washington be
lore. It is estimated that half a million
strangeis camped in the city last night, filling
every inch of hotel and boarding house ac
commodation, and drawing to the full limit on
private hospitality. Even then many were
forced to sleep on floors, and some on billiard
tables. Even the welcome recess ol antcca
sional bathtub was not despised.
IN A BEATING RAIN.

THE CAPITOL.
Washington, March 4. Mr. Harrison,
accompanied by the inauguration committee.
was taken in a close carriage, drawn by four
horses, to the White House, about half past
10 o clock. Kain was pouring down in tor
rents and drove many off the streets, and
made sorry work of the decorations.
- Arriving at the White House, Harrison
was received by Cleveland and his cabinet in
the blue parlor, where they were soon joined
by Morton. At 12 o'clock, Cleveland, Har-
ison and Morton took carriages for the capitol.
The first carriage, an open landau, contained
Cleveland, Harrison, Hoar and Cockrell; the
second, Morton and Cullom. Mrs. Cleveland
witnessed the departure from the window.
THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
. At 12:45 the president-elect reached the
platform, and after taking the oath of office,
read his inaugural address, as follows:
There is no constitutional or legal require
ment that the president shall take the oath of
office in the presence of the people. But
there is so manifest an appropriateness in the
public induction into office of the chief execu
tive officer of the nation, that from the begin-
ning of the government the people to whose
service the official oath consecrates the officer,
have been called to witness the solemn cere
monial. The oath taken in the presence of
the people becomes a mutual covenant.
PRESENT CONDITION OF THE NATION.
Our growth has not been limited to terri
tory, population and aggregate wealth, mar
velous as it has teen in each of these direc
Hons. The masses of our people are better
fed, clothed and housed than their fathers
were. The facilities for popular education
have been vastly enlarged and more generally
diffused. The virtues of courage and patrotism
have given recent proof of their continued
presence and increasing power in the hearts
and over tne lives of our people. The : influ
ences of religion have been multiplied and
strengthened. The sweet offices of charity
have greatly increased, and the virtue of tem
perance is held in higher estimation. We
have not attained an ideal condition; not all
of our people are happy and prosperous, not
all of them virtvous and law abiding; but, on
the whole, the opportunities offered to the
industrious to secure the comforts of life are
better than elsewhere and largely better than
they were 100 years ago. The surrender of a
large measure of the sovereignty to the gen
eral government affected by the adoption ot
the con&titution was , not accomplished until
the suggestions of reason were strongly rein-1
forced by the more imperative voice of exper
ience.
CORPORATIONS CAUSE MOB VIOLENCE.
If our great corporations would more scru
pulously observe their legal limitations and
duties they would have less cause to complain
of unlawful limitations of their rights for vio
lent inierference with their operations. A
community that by concert, open or secret,
among its citizens, denies to a portion of its
members their rights under the law has sev
ered the only safe bond of social order and
prosperity.
NATURALIZATION LAWS.
Our naturalization laws should be so
amended as to make the inquiry into the
character and good dispositions of persons ap
plying for citizenship more careful and search
ing. Our existing laws have been in their
administration unimpressive and often unin
telligible in form. We accept a man as a
citizen without any knowledge of his fitness,
and he vssumes the duties of a citizen without
any knowledge as to what they are.
thf civil service.
The duty devolved by law upon the presi
dent to nominate, and by and with the advice
and consent of the senate to appoint, all pub
lie officers whose appointment is not other
wise provided for in the constitution, or by
act of congress, has become very burdensome,
and its wise and efficient discharge full of diffi
culty. The civil service is so large that per
sonal knowledge of any large number of ap
pucants is impossible. The president must
rely upon the representation of others, and
these are often made inconsiderately and with
out any just sense of responsibility. I have a
right, I think, to insist that those who volun
teer, or are invited to give .advice as to- ap
poinlments shell exercise consideration and
fidelity. A high sense of duty and an ambi
tion to improve the service should characterize
all public officers.
the, SURPLUS.
While the treasury surplus is not the great
est evil, - it is a serious evil- Our revenue
should be ample to meet the ordinary annual
demands upon our treasury, with a sufficient
margin for those extraordinary but scarcely
less imperative demands which arise now and
then. Expenditure should always be made
with economy and only upon Public necessity.
" IN CONCLUSION.
Let us exalt patriotism and moderate our
party contentions. Let those who would
die for the flag on the field of battle give bet
ter proof of their patriotism and higher glory
to thair country by promoting fraternity and
lustice. Farty success achieved by unfair
methods or by practices that partake of revo
lution is hurtful and evanescent even from a
party standpoint . We should hold our differ
ing opinions in mutual respect, and having
submitted them to the arbitrament of the
ballot, should accept an adverse judgment
with the same respect we should demand of
our opponents if the decision had been in
our favor"

You are feeling depressed, your appetite is
poor, you are bothered witn iieaaacne, you
are hdgetty, nervous, and generally out ot

not with stimulants, spring medicines, or bit
ters, which have for their basis very cheap,
bad whisky, and stimulate you for an hour,
and then leave you in worse condition than
before. .What you want is an alterative that
will punfy your blood, start healthy action oi

Oh,
What A Cough.
Will you heed the .warning. The signal
perhaps of the sure approach of that more tes-
nble disease, Consumption. Ask yourselves
if you can afford for the sake of saving 50 cts.
to run the risk and do nothing for it. We
know from experience that Shiloh's Cure wilt
Cure your Cough. It never fails. This ex
plains why more than a Million Bottles were
sold the past year. It releives Croup and
Whooping Cough at once. Mothers do not

Impure Blood
Is the cause of Boils, Carbuncle,
Pimples, Eczema, and cutaneous erup
tions of all kinds. . There can be no per
manent cure for these complaints until
the poison is eliminated from the sys
tem. To do this thoroughly, the safest
and most effective medicine is Ay erf
Sarsaparilla. Give it a trial.
"For the past twenty-five years I
, have sold Ayer's Sarsaparilla. In my
opinion, the best remedial agencies for
the cure of all diseases arising from im
purities of the blood are contained in
this medicine." G. C. Brock, Drug
gist, Lowell, Mass.
"My wife was for a long time a suf
ferer from tumors on the neck. Noth
ing did her any good until she-tried
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, two bottles of which,
made a complete cure." - W. S. JIartin
Burning Springs, W. Va.
"We-have sold Ayer'a Sargaparilla
her for over thirty years and alwaya
recommend it when asked to name the.
best blood-purifier.." W. T. McLean
