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

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

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.

SHEEP AND STEERS.
For several days past large bands
of sheep and steers have been pass

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.
