Anoth'T week has passed;
Sweet Sabbath dawns at last
nd brings its welcome rest from toil and
strife;
And vc in bliss eun snore
Till ! o'clock before
I We're roused to dress for church to please
a wife.
Whi't solemn awe we feci
As on tip-toes we steal
Behind the holy usher up the aisle;
1 Safe in the pew we bow
' Our heads in prayer now
i Then gaze around to see the latest style.
( Now bursts the organ grand
I And all, like soldiers stand
! And voices raise in prai-e dlvlnily sweet,
While loud the cornet toots
To drown the squeaking hoots
Of tardy sinners sneaking to a seat.
Now docs the pastor dear
Above the pulpit peer
With "The collection will ho taken straight."
Again the organ peels
While each in pocket feels
To lind a bit put there for the. plate.
The sermon now begins,
And to our many sins
We nod assent, alas! and close our eyes;
Till with a nod to break
A leek with, we awake
And try to look profoundly bright and wise.
Grand doen "Old Hundred'' sound
With benediction crowned;
All filled with pious peace, to home return
And hero dissect awhile
The sermon and the stylo
And cuss the cook for letting dinner burn.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery, indigestion Is a foe to good na
ture. The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. It is easily put out of order.
Oreasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bud cookery, mental worry, late hours, ir
regular habits, and many other things which
ought not to he, have iiiade the American
people a nation of dyspeptics,
UutOreen's August FJower lias done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad busi
ness and making the American peoplo so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals and
be happy.

The distressing question of the day
is, will the terrible epedemic of diph

are in town. He is making necessary
repairs on his threshing machine and

Rev. W. R. Powell and Prof. Smith',

gone to Hogem on a ramping trip.
Tho fine mountain road leading to
these mines will attract many summer
visitors.
Miss Anna Stoveall, of Raker City,
at present visiting at Dunham Wright's
on Big ereeli, was in Cove for tho first
time on Wednesday. The young lady
displayed her good taste by at once
falling in love with our town.
A colony left town, Tuesday, bound
for Wallowa Lake, where they will go
into camp foi a few weeks stay in that
lovelv vieinitv. Among others were
Miss Boyd of SI. Paul's school, Walla
Walla, and .Miss Biook of Union.
Two ladies from Portland, stopping
in (Jove, were seen coming up the
creek one day Ibis week, laden down
with split bamboos and line strings of
trout. Some hinted that the fair an
glers puiehasul the speckled beauties,
but of course that is a mistake.
Mr. Wm. Foiresfcr, who has been
traveling through this and Raker coun
ty the last few days, in tho interests of
(leer it Son's Union nursery, has met
with good hiccss, disposing of four
thousand trees. People are waking up
to the fact that nursery stock propa
gated at homo is much bolter suited to
this climate than IbesnpplicH received
from eastern nurseries.
If it wasn't for mo and my pnrnsol,

working in tho nursery these warm
days. Miss If. Tho China song as

trade tho demand is good, whilst tho
Sound calls for tho more matured class,
which seems to look as if th supplies
of matured stock fiad been, drawn up

: W. T. Wright and Rev. Irwin, nc
I rompanied by their families, paid our
, town a visit during the week.
I The Hope mill is going full blast,
I and turning out lets of bullion. One
1 week ago to-day they had about 100
; pounds of crude bullion and their
I stack is not glowing any smaller.
The ball given undor the auspices of
the P. R. J1'. A., as a benefit to our un
' fortunate Itro., .1. B, Morgan, was a
grand success in every sense of the
j word. There were tickets mid.
, netting Mr. Morgan over $200.
j Dr. -Howard showed your corres
I pondenl some (piart, from the Last
j Chance mine which sparkles with the
precious metal. They are now en
. gaged in sacking the mck and it is es
timated to be worth IJlfiOO per sack.
Mr. John Wriuht, of Union, is now
, in town making ariangnients for min
ers to go to work on the Robert Kni-
nit 1 1 . We regard this as another step
I toward the development of our camp,
1 as tho lCnunell is. oiie of our best, pros
I pects.
j Our camp is moving slowly but sure
ly to the front. We can surely show
better surface prospects than any
quartz camp on earth. We have
'quartz enough now in sight to keep
j 100 stamps pounding away for fifty
I veins. All wc lack in capital.
The county road from hero to the
I Mill is a credit to any community, and
1 tho gentlemen who had charge of this
j work deserve tho thanks of the county
- at large, and of Cornucopia in pnrtiru
' lar, for tho substantial manner in
I which the work has been performed.
I Had the state appiopriatiou been used
I as judiciously as the dainty fund . was,
1 we would have a number one road to
! Union.
Loin Colbath. or Walker Bro's., Salt
Lake City, accompanied by (Mian,
i Hughes, of Portland, and .1. II. Mc
Houougli, of The Dalles, visited our
camp last week. Mr. Colbath is one of
tho owners in the Onlaiio mine, of
Utah, which has already paid in divi
dends over tf.H.ODO.OlK). He comes
hero in tho intercuts of the Ontario,
and is much pleased with what he has
seen of our mines. Mr. Colbath as
sures your correspondent that in the
near future we will have a great camp,
and we await his report, with anxiety
as wo aro sure it means something to
ward the devi lopenicnt of our mines.
Messrs. Hughes and McDonough aro
inUTeetod in the Forest (,'ueen and
Allen it Cox ledges, two of the bett
prospects in camp. These gentlemen
were fortunate enough to be admitted
to examine tho celebrated Whitman
mine, and at a depth of 2!)0 foot exam
ined the ledge and they assure us that
at that depth tho O. G. M. Co, have a
splendid ledge of high grade ore. Tho
fact that tho Allen & Cox is tho South
extension of the Whitman, and only a
few yards from this shaft, makes it one
of the best developed propeilies in tho
camp.

Summervillo is now almost under a
stale of qiiarcutinc, tho city council
having passed an ordinance, prohibit

tho diphtheria scare has somewhat
subsided. This wo think is a wise
move on the part of our "City Dads"
and we hope that it may etlectually
prevent the furthur spread of this ter
rible disease.
Two of tho children of Mr. Ferdinand
Slack died on Sunday last and were
buried in one grave on Monday. It
was a sad sight to witness the process
ion on its way to tho graveyard, two
collins containing all that was mortal
of the two oldest of Mr. Slack's y chil
dren. Almost arrived at tho ago of
maturity, cut down by tho grim "Fer
ryman of Death." Two more of their

any more of their loved ones at thin
