When the HttiKC from here pulls
up in Jloheniin at the Musirk mine,
It Is always given n hearty wel
come bv a big crowd ol fun-loving,
ar;t-liciirteil, happy-go-lucky and
open handed miners, who receive
the new arrivals will) Mich warmth
and vurigutcd announcements of
unlocked for and unexpected home
comforts, that the traveler for the
moment is completely nonplussed.
There is but Hllc hostelry, that
presided over by the genial Jones,
and the bunklioumi of the hale,
hearty and hardy miners. The
stage usually jjets there at early
twilight, so the traveler has at best
but a hazy view of his immediate
surroundings, and for the moment
he is completely carried away by
the vociferous yelling of the littu-(lrc'1-aud-oue
hotel runners who
greet him with their blandishments
and importunities for the favor ol
his patronage. The name and ad
vantages ot every hotel the boys
ever heard of is hurled at the new
comer, and it often has the effect of
so confuting and bewildering him
that indecision takes a complete
hold and for a moment or two lie is
so undecided that he is unable to
leave his seat. When he finally
docs gain n landing and recovers
his equilibrium he is approached
by the courteous and suave Jones
and politely and earnestly informed
that he must choose between the

A TKul ri'..- -
A parly of four wandering min
imis under the high-sounding
name of the Cissie Kelton Company
came to town last Friday morning,
t.ostid up their flaring bills, tooled
their horns up and down the wide
ntftiti'.-s and broad isles of this
flourishing butg, and gave a one
h rse cntirlaiumeut that evening
atMuiiin's Hall to a full house.
Smi- s.iy the exhibition pleased
them, while others, who have
traveled and know what acting
ought to lie, .say the performance
was very snide and that the troujx;
was am thtr of thohc bain-stoiuiing
nggni'.aiiims which periodically
hoo down on an unsuspecting
pi ilu ;i ikI .steal away their horded
iiimi'.. He this as it may. these
minimis sought to repeat the dose
on Saturday evening, and received
a i-olil frost, not a dozen people oc
uiping the benches for pay. They
went north.
AN OI.II TIMKK.
Somebody shouted "Santa Claus
is heie!" on Fiiduy last, and look
ing down the street could be seen
appioaching something that for a
moment looked like a dromedary on
wheels. It proved to be an ancient
Columbia bicycle piled high and
strapped nbout with the effects and
trappings of an equally ancient
mariner. The outfit had come
through from Crescent City and
was headed for Portland. Crowds
gathered to look the old-time
bicycle over, while the owner laid
in a fresh stock of crackers and
cheese. It was indeed a curiosity
and was so dilapidated that one
instinctively thought of the once
"wonderful one-horse .sliay," that
was owned by the deacon gray and
went all to .smithereens one' sum
mer day.
l'UUOAI,.
The over frugality of sonic men
not infrequently bring about uu
lookcd for results, as happened the
other evening to a piano agent.
He desired to go nortli on the night
train and had grips and luggage
to handle audit was necessary to
have a call in time for the train.
He, however, was too frltgal to
pay 56c for his bed and prompt
and icliable service at the Hotel
Sherwood, where a night clerk is
always on hand, but limited up
cheaper lodgings, was not called,
missed the train, was thrown back
24 hours iu his dates, had added
expense piled up, and must have
felt somewhat chagrinned. It Is
not always well tob? too frugal.

grove just east or town and pte-t-ided
over by Rev. V. J.
Good, assisted by Rev. V, 11,
Gtahuin, Rev. C. II. .Pcrccll and
Kcv. Mr. Green. These several
gentlemen have labored long and
earnestly to bring within the fold
of Christ the weary wanderer iu the
paths of Bin. Though not rcaliz
ing all they hoped to accomplish in
this particular field, they were the
instruments through which some
twenty repentant ones came for
ward to seek iu a contrite and
humble supplication the soothing
balm of Halvation. Among this
number several found the solace
they sought and the remainder got
far enough on the road to resolve
for nil future time a strict ad
herence to the Golden Rule. I.ast
Sunday evening being the close of
the endenvors in this field an au
dience of about 400 filled .the tent
and listened to the discourse by
Kcv. l'ercell, who pictured in no
uncertain speech the deep hole of
despuul wherein the sinner dwells
and the fdiinning heritage fitted
up for the emancipated soul. The
gathering has been a success
financially, the Cottage Groveiles
having generously contributed
funds enough to defray all ex
penses. The conference, which
travels by wagon route, left 011

KIU'T 1118 WORD.
It is a well known axiom that
fishermen arc proverbial prevari
cators, but it is our pleasure to re
cord one instance that redounds to
the great credit and manifest de
votion to -truth of our worthy fel
low townsman John .Sherwood. lie
and several boon companions spent
last week in the Bohemia district
scouring the woods for game and
whipping the streams for trout.
Now hunters, as a rule, make
promises with a proviso, but the
"lone fisherman" always knows his
catch will be abundant and makes
his promises ofl hand in advance-
never or seldom ever to be kept.
To know Mr. Sherwood is to ap
preciate the fact that he is the em
bodiment and real personification of
truth, therefore one can easily im
agine the savory deliciousness of
the feast of speckled beauties he
did not bring us. John, they
tasted fine and hit the right spot,
and you have our heartfelt thanks

BADLY HURT.
D. W. McGee, an organ agent,
while driving- to Drain last Friday
morning met with a serious acci
dent. Some miles on the road from
here repairs were being made to a
bridge and it was in an impassable
shape. Temporarilly a road had
been slashed out through the
brush around the obstruction, and
in going over this cutout the
wagon upset, throwing Mr. Mc
Gee out with such force that for
quite a while he was unconscious
and it was feared that he was
mortally hurt. The top of his rig
was badly wrecked. He was sub
sequently taken to his home in Sa
lem, and it is since learned that he
is well on the road to recovery.
