Pestilence is brooding over the stricken cit)' of Galveston. Hun dreds of bodies are still decaying in the wrecked buildings and a traiu load of lime is more badly needed than provisions. The Ursuline Convent has been converted into a ceneral hospital. The work of clearing up is necessarily very slow. Bodies of victims are still being washed ashore on the beach and the general stench is stifling. A report from Boliver in east bay says that there are over 100 bodies on the beach there and the carcasses of hundreds ot animals are mixed with them. fAll along the coast line of Texas the beach is strewn with dead bodies and thousands ot decaying animals. The relief parties are making strenuous efforts . to cope with the situation in order to avert as far as possible the threat ened pestilence. Wednesday morning's Register gives an accoijnt of another horrible wife murder by an insane man' and his subsequent suicide by taking strychnine. The tragedy occurred at the home of Herman Petersdorf about six miles west of Junction on the night of the 17th inst. The murder of- Lena Petersdorf was ac complished- with a club and the woman's head was beaten into a jelly in the kitchen of their home, the body afterward being dragged several rods from the house and de posited near the fence. After ap praising, his nearest neighbors of his fiendish deed, and while they were getting together to effect his capture, the insane, wretch took poison and ended his miserable life. The four little children were not disturbed in their beds. Contractor Lea. is pushing the work of street improvement ns fast as could be, reasonably expected, all things considered. The rock orushcr is kept going steadily at its full capacity and teams are con stantly on the move hauling the crushed product to its future place on Wall street, which is now about half completed with the first layer of rock. The building of the gutters on lower Miu street is progressing finely and the filling in of ruts and holes is well along. Weather permitting, great will be the improvement by the end of an other week. The work now in augurated and so well under wayl is the initial step and the founda tion stone to the upbuilding of the groat future of this commonwealth. Good streets are the first desider atum in the progress of any an.l vv . 1 I every town, un tuem uepeno largely the value of real property The first impression the stranger in town gets of the people is from the streets. If they are in good repair and kept cleanly he decides that the people have ' the necessary spirit of progress to "forge ahead and make a future city. If the streets are unkeptand the farmer is seen with hisjoad of produce stuck in a rut or the wheels of his wagon hub deep in the mud, the observer concludes that the hoary mossback holds-sway, and until the icy hand of death removes them from the helm the town can never be more than a sleepy hollow. When the work is completed from the head of Wall street through the main a tery of town to the depot it will be the greatest and best advertisement this community has ever had. It will be a nleasure and a pride to our people in its enjoyment, and a message of encouragement to the investing stranger the moment he alights from his voyage and plants his foot on ,the solid and substan tial foundation of the future city of Cottage Grove. The University of Oregon at Eu gene opened its academic year on Wednesday under the brightest au spices. There are already over 200 students in attendance, of which number about 100 are new students. It is confidentially expected that before registration closes on De cember 1st fully 300 will be en rolled. The faculty are of the highest order and full of zeal and the university was never in more competent hands or had a brighter outlook, and it is hoped that the coming year will realize the best and most thorough results since the inception of that iirstitution. A copy of the Portland Mining Exchange's Carnival Souvenir," a neat little pamphlet setting forth the articles of incorporation of the Exchange, with illustrations of the rooms occupied in the Chamber of Commerce building, together with a list of listed stocks, is on the ex change table of the Nugget with Secretary 1. J. Hard's compliments, It is an interesting book and fur nishes much valuable information to those who are identified with mining properties. Portland will dispatch three Ori eu,l siv iT. :hips tin-, month. Anent the State Fair, which is in progress at Salem this week, the Pacific Homestead savs- that the first agricultural society on the Pa cific coast was organized at Salem, Oregon, April 6th, 1854, The first agricultural fair .was held at Salem, October nth, 1854; Hon L. F. Grover delivered the address. In -this address the establishment of woolen mills, the introduction of the Cashmere or Angora goat and the steam plow, were recom mended. This society held fairs for severaycars, got into debt; sold its land td Marion county, which transferred' it to the State Agri cultural Society and thus has evolved the State Fair. A representative of the German government recently investigated the foods eaten by the English. He found that they eat the great amount of 88 pounds of sugar for each person, while the Germans eat only 22 poauds per person. An immense amount of sugar is used in making jam which is a standard article of diet in England. The di rector of one of the jam factories informed him the 400,000 tons of jam, containing 225,000 tons 01 sugar are produced annually in England, and 75,000 tons more of sugar are used in making other preparations marmalades, etc;' It is to be remembered that an Eng lish ton is 2,240 pounds. This office is in receipt of a neat and attractive book presented by J. E. Young local agent, and written by Francis C. Moore, presi dent of the Continental Fire In surance uo., entitled , "now to Build a Home." The little volume gives some practical suggestions, plans and specifications on, house building and altogether is a most desirable addition to one's library. The Galveston list of dead now number 4978 and there are many yet to count. All Alaska is infested with small pox and strict quarantine regula are prescribed. JSLJi. Among the provisions of the T.VrI.ml Constitution which bei r upon this matter is paragraph twelve of section eight, article one, which among other things gives congress power: "To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years." Thus the people through their representatives in conuress have 1 " complete and- absolute control over the army. They hold the purse and. in so doinjr. they hold the sword. Imperialism in the sense in which Mr. Bryan use's the term, is an impossibility. 1 he constitu tion prevents it. Imperialism without an army or an army with out money to pay and support it is a vagary of democratic imagina tion. We can never have any more imperialism in this country than the people see fit to authorize from time to time. Whenever the wish to modify or reduce our mili tary strength or activity, the matter rests wholly with the people. Even Mr. Bryan himself would be helpless. The great struggle between the anthracite coal miners of Pennsyl vania and their employers began 011 the 17th inst. Each side is confi dent of winning, and neither of the contending forces show any dispo sition to yield. I he contest thus far has been devoid of any violence. At the present time over 112,600 men are involved and it is expected that all the mines in that region will be drawn into the struggle. Only speculation as to the outcome can be indulged in, as both sides are determined to win. 5fK I Wo m mm mm 01 1 Fall Goods! ft (US SO W w TO MAKE ROOM Wli WILL SELL AM, Summer Goods at Cost for the next 30 days. & fWT CALL EARLY AT f' LURCH'S. RETURN OF DR. DAltt SHEEP AND STEERS. For several days past large bands of sheep and steers have been pass ing through town on their way to Linn county. These bands have been gathered together in Eastern Oregon about Harney county and driven across the mountains to this side where they command a much higher price and find ready sale.
