A dirty attempt to wreck Saturday’s southbound train ata curve two miles south of Drain. The headlight glare apprized Engineer Robt. McCauley of the obstruc­ tion, and he reversed his engine just in time to save a fearful catastrophe. The momentum of the train, however, as it ran against the stick of timber, one foot through and ten feet long, woke up the passengers. Across the track ahead of it was a heavy plank, which had evidently been used to prop the larger stick up in a standing posi­ tion. so it would better throw the train from the track. This plank bad also been carried forward by the pilot. The train first struck the obstruction on a sharp curve, in a mountainous and heav­ ily wooded country. There is a sharp de­ clivity on one side of the track, and had the pilot been brogen bx’ the obstruction, a terrible wreck must inevitably have follow­ ed. Undoubtedly the dastardly wreckers were disturbed in their work. Hoboes were suspected, revenge for being thrown from trains the motive. Death of Dr. J. L. Wood. Dr J. L.

Senator Mitchell, Ben But­ terworth, Thoa. H. Tongue and Hon Chas W. Fulton, the distinguished republican leaders, upon the free silver coinage side of the money question. But these gentlemen are now doing duty in the great tight from behind the breast works of the infamous gold standard army. Their own past in- dictmentts of the gold standard is enough to convince us that naturally the heartl­ and minds of the»e gentlemen were with humanity. It is the cowardly system of pea-nut pol­ itics that now forces them to become mere puppets in the hands of Plutocrocy. Wr pity them for their lack of moral courage to die an honorable political death in the last ditch, rather than to have the empty distinction of political preferment at the sacrifice of human liberty. While the republican party has given us the unusual sight ot a great moral slump the democratic party of Jackson count) has also contributed somewhat of a grist oi moral supineness and rank inconsistency Before the Chicago convention took it.- heroic stand for liberty and justice, nearly every solitary leader left to the democratic party in Jackson county was a gold stand­ ard man and opposed to every principle (except tariff) engrafted in that Chicago declaration. And that notwithstanding the principles of populism had inoculated the county for over four years. Even in th* democratic state convention in March, which took a radical stand for Pennoyerism and free silver by an overwhelming major­ ity, this uncompromising go Id-bug el* ment, standing in the minority, cast ha If the votes of Jackson county for the miser, able gang of corporation attorneys and bankers and by that action did their pan in trying to again fasten on the democratic party the gold standard and the train of in­ famies now represented by the Palmer & Buckner push and Grover Cleveland. What a shame on the proud political record ot Jackson county I But that is not all. Two of its chief bosses—Col, W. 8. Crowell and Hon. Wm. M. Colvig—who are now can­ vassing the state for the Chicago platform and denouncing Mitchell, Butterworth et al for haying "changed” have not only fought the placing of the free-coinage of silver in­ to the democratic party but they have been steady and consistent Clevelandised gold bngs for the past four years at least to our certain knowledge and they, too, played in­ to the bands of the gang headed by Bank­ er Bush, Judge Pipes, Zera Snow, L.L. Mc­ Arthur, Banker Kelly, etc—,the very men who recently tried to disfranchise the Bry- anized forces of Oregon on the official bal­ lot. through a technicality. After their defeat in the state convention and the free silver forces again got in full command of the state party machinery, these two local political bosses, Crowell as candidate for county judge, Colvig as chair­ man of the county central committee, and their pliant tool, A. N. Soliss, as secretary of the county committee running the spring election campaign, did not allow a single democratic speech to be made in the county from the new silverized democratic party and for the first time in its history did a campaign pass in Jackson county without a political speech from a democratic stand­ point. Thus these two gentlemen float about with Mitchell, Hermann, Tongue, Fulton and Butterworth, a living, breathing poli­ tical lie and traveling stultification, Why did they do it T They were playing the game of pea-nut politics and the same cowardly political motives governed them so completely that it dulled their natural human sensibilities, making their con­ sciences cold and their minds incapable of fathoming the depth of human misery, its sufferings and its desires. This left them without that fine sense of judgment neces sary to know just which way to flop and in the absence of a pile-driver the repeated populist victories m Jackson county could not beat it through their skulls that the heart beat of humanity was for financial reform, hence they fastened th>*ir destiny with the Buffalo Beast, Grover the Fat. Bryan, early in his campaign, asked every sincere gold-bug democrat to not vote for him. but to vote for Major McKinley, the gold standard candidate. That applied to such as Crowell and Colvig. About the time the populist national con vention endorsed Bryan these two worthies began industriously "studying the silver question,” got converted the first thing, not only to tree «liver, but the entire populistic platform and suddenly took on such a vir­ tuous streak that they could not be kept away with a club from supporting Mr. Bry­ an and bis once odious platform. Stulti- fiers and time-servers, they knew a good thing when they saw it. Here is an "object lesson” for the Amer­ ican citizen. Never tie your opinions to a pea-nut Of hot-or-cold-tomale politician. He is a fool as well as an ass—when the test is applied—without either courage or honor, Investigate and jtudy for yourself and ii you cannot do better than this nest of Ore« gon “cuckoos,” the Lord may forgive vou for honest errors of judgement.

Most physicians in inde­ pendent practice agree that the evils complained of are real and serious, and would like to see them successfully combatted^ blit are not sanguine of this method of opposition or indeed of any method. There are several exist­ ing conditions to foster them. D. K. Allen has transferred to George W. Ireland twenty mining claims em­ braced in four groups for $60,000. The veins are noted for their great size. The mines are situated in the old Picacho district, on the Colorado river, in Sau Diego county. Arthur Gregory of Redlands recently shipped a carload of dried apricots to Antwerp, Belgium. The Alaska Codfishing Company has been formed, and will send out vessels next Beason. The schooner La Ninfa will be the first. The company has es­ tablished itself at Hunter's Point, and will run in ouposltion to the Lynde Jt Hough Company and the McCollam Fishing and Trading Company.

About the 1st of October there was such a rush in the vineyards to gather the grapes that threatened to rot, that enough laboring people could not be found to supply the demand. Some growers even offered twice what they originally paid, and yet they could scarcely increase their forces. There has been quite a little activity the past few days in the San Francisco hop market Buyers offered 8 cents a pound one day, 9 the next morning, and before night 10 cents was offered. A rich ledge has been discovered in Quartz valley, Siskiyou county. It ia from six to ten inches in width, and free gold can be seen in the quarta. A drop of 5 cents a bushel occurred in the price of wheat at Chicago on the 22d. The market abroad declined in sympathy with American quotations. Dr. William II.
