Cameron, whose fall down the opera house stairs was recorded in last weeks' Courier was a sad sequel to the accident. The in juries be received from the fall were not serious in themselves, but un doubtedly aggravated and developed the cause by whioh he died, hemor rhage of the brain. His fall on Tues day of last week was caused by a slight hemorrhage which rendered him partially unconscious and ac counts for the dim recollection he had of the accident. On Thursday he was about the streets and except for the superficial bruises caused by his fall, seemed to be perfectly well and was takeu hoiui on that day by his step son, Henry Birtlett.

This engine has two 80 gallon tanks charged with cheinieals and ISO feet hose. It is mounted on wheels and weighs 100 ponnds when oharged ready for use. With this comes two 8 gal Ion Babcock extin guisher for hand use. The company sells the apparatus to the town on time taking town warrants due in two years at six per cent interest. If a shipper orders a car and it is supplied, fails 'to load it, he is fined so much per day. This is called demurrage. It Is now proposed to pass a law whereby the railroad may be fined too, in case it does not have a car on hand when ordered, provided it be giveu reasonable notice. This is called reciprocal demurrage. There are bills before the legislature contain ing these provisions, and prospects of their passage are favcrablo. The idea is advauced by the authors of these proposed laws that corporations aud individuals should be treated alike. The Roseborg city council at a re cent meeting took up a matter that will require legislative action, namely, the proposition to make the entire city of Roseburg one independent road district. It is claimed the super visors do nearly all the improvement work in the country sections of the district, whereas the greater part of the money raited therefor comes from the taxpayers residing in the city. A committee was appointed to pre pare a bill to this effect and to be presented for the action of the legis lature. Two young men, of the transient variety, were arretted here this week by Marshal McGrew aad were sent to Medford to answer to a charge of larceny.

The theft for which they were apprehended was the taking of several guns from the Medford shooting gallery. They plead guilty to the charge and will oc cupy the Jackson county jail until a term of ciruoit court. L. W. McDaniel, who claimed he represented the Mutual Reserved Life Insurance company, and who did a great deal of business in Klamath aud Lake counties, is charged with dis honest practices in the the trausaction of his business. II is alleged that he , wroe policies, accepting notes in 1 payment of the premiums. These notes he discounted and appropriated the proceeds thereof. The policies were forwarded to rortlaud aaud re fused, presumably hecausii they were ' not accompanied by the cash. ' It is understood that several people have applied for warrants for his arrest. -r-hlamath Republican. , An important qu'htion new con fronts the people of Klamath county.

I As I walked along the street one day, I passed a man and heard him say; "My shoes are ragged, my feet are sore." "My friend," said I," go to Churchill's Shoe store, They will fit you out so nice and neat, You never will know you had any feet." About half block south of the Court House square, You'll know by the windows whon you get there, There are shoes black and tan, red, white and blue, If thev suit others, thev There are shoes for the mistress And shoes for the cook; Shoes that look nice, And are as nice as they look; Their prices, too, are always right, And like their Shoes are never tight. Then listen to me, for I'll tell you true, Go to Churchill's if you want good shoes, They mend the holes and sew up the tears, And do all other kinds of repairs. If your shoes play out and you neod more, Just take a walk to Churchill's Shoo Store. North Sixth street, Grants Pass, Oregon. SOME BARGAIN POINTERS News Note From the Business Men to Headers.
