, Hie strike still drags itffll on but is
getting stale, 'ti 0 public ink-rest has
largely withdrawn I the II trom the con
teat. Efforts fur settlement are being
piade and it is to be lioptd that they will
not fuil always.
The Columbia, the winner of the inter
national yacht rates of ISiitf, ban beaten
1 he new defender Constitution in the
first series of trial races to determine
which shall race with Upton's Sham
rock.
More I general and public Interest
should be taken fn our schools and their
work. School work is ( the iilmort
importance to the present and future
welfare of our country and there ia no
work which bears more directly on the
health of the nation. Our school; board
id making a special ellorl lliia year to
command the more direct Interest of
the parenta and the public and in lliia
effort they should receive support and
encouragement.
A M't it ion will be presented to the
council Thursday evi-niiij.'jtor a sidewalk
011 the north aide of (i street between
Sixth and Fourth streeta. This would
meet the earnest wishes of many of our
to ns people, especially of the ladies, a-
il will give them an opportunity ol
avoiding the famous "corner, " which
baa been an annoyance for many years
on account of the fruternity of slanders
and leaner who are wool to congioate
there. Many ladies have a dread of the
Biloons, with which U struot is plentiful
ly supplied and the proposed aiduaslk
would enable them tn avoid these.
In our last issue we cliruuiclej a mis
taku, Bomewbal amusing, of a man's
shooting a hug for a deer. In this issue
we chronicle a kindred eiror, not smut'
ing, but serious and alarming, of a
young man's shooting his companion for
deer. These, with the many similar
cases occurring frequently through the
bunting season, lay special emphasis on
the statement that a man should nuver
shoot at anything In the woods until be
seel distinctly what it is. No matter
bow aura a man may feel that it la a
deer at which he ia shooting, be should
know to an absolute certainty, lie
might better allow a dozen deer to escape
than to risk a mistake of this character.
Now la a good time to consider the
advisability of providing a post bouse.
It is a foolish mail who waits until it
rains to shingle his roof, . "In time ol
peace, prepare for war," etc. Now
when, as far as known, there ia no such
thing as a contagious disuse in our city
and no present likelihood of there over
being any, this proposition can be con
sidered without hysterica. There should
be a pest housta and I hero should be
some place in which to quarantine
suwcta. Last year when smallpox
was discovered in one of our Lotels, the
bouse and all the Inmates, It) people,
were quarantined. The quarantine was
effective and thediseuso did not Bpresd
in the slightest from this source outside
the hotel, but all the inmates had to
undergo a siege of smallpox before the
quarantine could be lilted. If there had
b.'CU some place provided whereby the
persons suspected of exposure could
have been isolated, perliups there would
have been only one or two rases instead
of over a dozen and the quarantine
could have been lifted much sooner,
There is no reason fur believing that
cases of Manila smallpox will not drllt
d iwn to Southern Oregon from the
lit rllicrn towns next winter, ns It did
last winter and the w inter bclote. Now
is the time to piepare for it or anv other
contagious disease to which human flesh
is heir. A to 11 of oi.r dimensions
should have some provision (or handling
such diseases anyway and it is not good
policy to wait until they come before
beginning preparation. '

Mount Keuben Strike.
W. H. Dana, superintendent ol the
Copper Stain mine, ol Mount Reuben,
reports that tbe recent strike In tbe Cop
per Stain gives all indications of being
tbe uncovering of a permanent ricb ore
body. Tbe discovery was made on tbe
third or lower level ol the mine, 300 feet
down. The gold is visible through all
parts ol tbe rock. It is very likely that
this discovery will result in an increase
of the general equipment ol the Copper
Slain.
Brings Creek Placer.
Joe Conner wss in town last week from
his hydrsuliu property ou Briggs creek
and Red Dug in the lower Illinois dii
irict. Though early in the season, be
has bis mine already fitted up for opera
tion and will have to lose no time when
the rainy season brings the wster. Last
season be uncovered a gigantic channel
250 leet wide on tbe lower end ol his
proierty, paying ground from rim to
rim, with a 40 foot dump. Ha is figur
ing on rebuilding a portion of bis ditch
to cut off some heavy drops from grade
and this will give him 101 leet or more
additional pressure. The gold obtained
ia mostly coarae, running from $20piecea
down and ia heavy, smooth, solid and
very pure.

of the soil thev have been working iu
and some of the unforeseen delays
caused by the labor strikes the company
has made eitraordiuary progress, and
they are surprised thai the drilling
operatioua have progressed aa lar as
they have. Then, too, tbe Indications
ol llitditig the much coveted rock oil are
most promising. The slralaa ol the
earth that have already been erloreled
by the drill go to alio that the oil
sands exist in the locality and will yet
be lapped. Tiding. Aug 2tf.

already been sent oiir. The crop is some
what inferior 'in quantity as compared
witb ordinary years, but the quality is
as excellent as ever aud the melons are
large, handsome and luscious. An al
most unprecedented frost iu June cut the
vine down so that the melon growers
despaired of any crop at all, but the vines
came out and made an almost miracu
lously quick growth, and brought forth
melons at the accustomed time. The

'STRANGE RITUAL MURDER,
Capital Crime Comialttea br .ttss la

CIreuinMtaaces.
A German named Lebedeer, Rervlng
in the French foreign legion, has
told a atrnnge story about a ritual
murder to tho otlicers of a court
martial assembled at Onin in . Al
periii, Buys the London Telegraph.
The soldier was being tried for hav
ing ninde nwny with his military ef
fects, und he excused himself hy
stnting that he was prepnring to de
sert, us he was afraid that he wV
iihont to be nrrested ua the man who
killed and cut up a young Catholic
student named Worser, at Koenitz,
about two yours ago. This wus a
cu.se of what is known na ritual mur
der, and it caused much sensation ut
.the time of its perpetration.
I.ebedeer's story is that he was out
of work one day at Koenitz und a
man offered biui money to accom
pany him to u synagogue. There he
saw some masked men, who ordered
him, under pain of deuth, to kill a
young student who was asleep In the
place, ami who hud evidently been
drugged. Lebedeer hud to do what
be was told, lie cut up the body,
and the blood was drained into a
silver basin. Vhi all was over
Lebedeer was paid, and was told thut
whenever he wanted assistance he
bad only to present a seiiled letter
given to him by the masked men to
any Jews whom he should meet. He
used the letter ut liresluu and at
I'rnrikfort-Oii-the-Mnin, nnd then en
tered French territory. Fearing ar
rest he joined the foreign It gion.
Lebedeer wai condemned by the
court-martial to six months' impris
onment and a magistrate has been
appointed'to see if his extraqrdinnry
story cau stand ve'rfication, or if'Ce
merely told it for the purpose of
avoiding military punishment.
