Alexander's yard, near Scio, was stored, has burned down. It is said that there was no Insurance on the building or contents. It was a heavy loss if it contained all of Mr. Alexan der's crop, us it was estimated to be worth at least $5,000. "I consider Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a specific for oroup. It Is very pleasant to take, which Is one of tbe most Important requisites where a cough remedy is iutended for use among children. I have known of eases of croup where I know the life of a little one was saved by tbe use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy." J.J. LuGrange, druggist, Avoca, Neb. 60 cent bottles for sale by M. A.

Lumberson & Wilkes have purchased for Geo. Pope & Co. some 550 bales of choice hops in Brownsville, Boio and Halsey. The Lebanon hop growers are holding for 20 cents. It is to be hoped that they get It, but in the light of past experi ence when the market breaks and buyers are In the Held, is the time to sell. The tendency is downward in stead of upward. Last Saturday a man arrived in Leb anon who stated that there were twenty-six teams in the mountains, that had come from Colorado. He ex pected them to arrive that evening or the next day, but as they did not ar rive lie weut back to meet them. Yes terday he showed up again and stated that they were snowed m and In desti tute circumstances. CounoHman Cru son went up to see if they were really In need. He leturned last night and reports that there are only five teams, that they have got through all right and will arrive herein a day or two. The celebrated hobo of the oanlne species passed through the city on the train this morning, going west, He hue tramped through every state of the Union In charge of express messengers, and each one has attached a tog to him. These are hung around the dog's neck, and it was very Interesting to read a record of IiIb travels. Ho Is a dog of ordinary sine, and easily makes friends with any stranger. No one knows where lu first started bis career of wandering from town to town, for Bettlng the scenes of his nativity, and becoming the pet of express messen gers. The Dalles T. M.

Burtenshaw was out deer hunting this week In onmpany with his wife, which resulted In proving Mrs. Burtenshaw to be- s good shot. On reaching a favorable place Burten shaw banded tbe gun to bis wife while he went out with the dogs to run the deer around toward her. A deer ran by and Mrs. B. shot it and broke Its neck. The animal proved to be a fine buck. West Oregonlan. The lady is a daughter-in-law of B. Burtenshaw of this place. Tbe Albany Democrat Is at pains to say that the Oregonlan "lied" when it stated that the democratic editor of the Cleveland Plaindealer appeared before the ways and means committee to ask for retention of duties on lead ores. Then the Democrat adds a quotation from tbe Plaindealer whioh shows that the editor of that paper stated that he "was not willing to have lead ores put on the free list." "It easy to lie," the Albany paper sententiously re marks, It is, it is, indeed. Oregonian. A case of isolation and need baB lust come to the authorities. A lady with two children arrived here this morning from their home In tbe northwestern part of Lane county, One of the chil dren, her youngest, is only a baby, while the eldest, who is also wilh ber, Ib not much more than ten years of age. I be father and four remaining children were left at their homestead, which is several miles from any neigh borhood. Last winter the woman was seriously ill with inflammatory rheu matism and tbe husband, who is con sumptive, managed to get to this plaee and procure a little assistance from tbe county court. His disease has beeu gradually growing worse since, but the mother and little children bave worked what little lund tbey huve cleared and raised enough vegetables to last through the winter. Tbey bave no slock, no wheat, and no means with which to purchase flour aud other necessities. The husband is too weak to tra el, so tbe woman took- the two children and started for the county seat to see what she could do. The first five miles they were obliged to travel over a mouutain trail, that being their only outlet to a road this way. From there she caught chance rides until tbey arrived here. The county court will undoubtedly do something for the family. Eugene Guard. Shot Hlni.elf Lust Monday eveniug our usually quiet little city was thrown into some what of an excitement, by the an nouncement that Andy Vail had shot himself. Mr. Vail, who lives, iu the west part of the city in Mr. Weeks' residence, got his rifle, which is a Colt's 44 calibre, and went out iu the yard to tbe fence, which is a rail fence, about twenty steps from the door, and shot himself. The ball passed through tbe body, goiug through the left lung, barely grazing the heart, and ooming out at tbe back, about an inch below tbe angle of tbe shoulder-blade, Tbe bull shuttered one rib as it passed through him, making an ugly as well as a dungerous wound. Mr. Vail says that the gun was accidentally dis charged as he started to caoss the fence, but a great many think it vas a case of premeditated suicide. Dr. Courtney was called, aud after exam ining the wound pronounced it fatal, but has done all in his power to save the wounded man. Dr. Lee, of Junc tion City, who is Mr. Vall's uncle, was called In consultation the nextday, and also Dr. Lambersou. Mr. Vail is still living and rests reasonably well, but the dojtor says his recovery is barely possible while he may live ten days. M r. Vail in a man about 80 years old, Is an honest industrious man, and is generally thought well of by all who know bim. He was born and raised near this place, and his parents are old pioneers. He has a wife aud four children. Mr. Vail and family have the sympathy of tbe whole oommunity, Later. Mr. Vail requested us to state that the shooting was purely uo cideutal and all reports to the eontrury were false. As we go to press the doctor tolls us that Mr. Vail is iu a dying condition, and probe bly will not live till sundown. With The Editors. Lt Thursday morning, accom panied by our better half, we stole away from our dreary duties tor a few daysmit and to enjoy the happy privi lege of again meeting wltb the editors, who beld their annual session in Port land. We arrived too late for the first day's session but were on band the second day, which was Friday, Sept 29tb. , The association was calledl to order at IOiSO a. m., with about forty mem bers present. A resolution was passed that We In vlte tbe National Editorial Association to meet in Portland in 1895. A resolution urging upon oar repre sentatives in oongress tbe necessity of enacting a law requiring that land no tices be published in some paper of general circulation which has been es tablished not less than one year, was offered and adopted. A resolution of thanks was tendered tbe railroads for transportation. A resolution was passed, declaring it to be the sense of the association that a visit to the Midwinter fair should be made in January. A resolution that all newspapers In the state In referring to Chinese or Mongolian pheasants hereafter desig nate them as Denny pheasauts, in honor of O.N. Denny, to whom the honor of importing them is due, was unanimously passed. Tbe election of officers for the ensu ing year was then proceeded with. A committee left in the morning for Kalama, to meet the Washington asso ciation, which visited the Oregon association in a body. At 3:30 tbe association adjourned subject to a call of the president. After the meeting biul been declared adjourned, Major Magvne, who walked from Canyon City r Chicago and back, came lino the ball. President Eddy, in honor of tbe old man, called the niee'ing to order again, and intro duced the major, who briefly stated that he wished to thank tbe press for the kindness it had shown him. The Washington Press Association arrived at 5 p. tn. In the evening at the Marquam Grand, the Washington association was formally welcomed to Portland and Oregon by Captain George H. Moffett, on behalf of the city of Port land, and Pres. Eddy for the Oregon association. Mr. J. It. Buxton, of Win lock, rei-ponilel in a happy vein, after which I he vaudeville entertainment specially arranged for tbe editors and tbeir families was given. At 8 o'clock the next morning the U. P. placed a special train nt our disposal to go to Hood Iliver, where on excur sion had l een planned by tbe citizens of that thriving little city. In addition to the Oregon and Washington editors the party included General Passenger Agent Hurlburt, George F. Sergeant, sec. of state horticultural board, and F. T. Smith, horticultural commissioner for the South Australian Agricultural Society and correspondent for several Australian papers in all about 125 persons. The train was In charge of Conductor Bennett, whose instructions were to proceed at the will of the guests. Tbe first stop was at the Multnomah falls, where about a quarter of an hour was spent in viewing this wonderful sight, as that magnificent body of water fell over 700 feet. Another brief stop was made at tbe Cascade locks, but as too much time hud already been spent on the road, it was thought best to push on. Tbe destination was reached at about 11:15, and the excur ilonlsts were given a warm greeting by the citizens. Hon. C. L. Smith, chair man of the receptlou committee, invit ed the party to tbe pavilion, a few blocks dislant. At the pavilion a gen uine surprise was in store for the edi tors. We had been given to understand that a kind of fair was being held there, but when we saw such a show of fine fruit and vegetables our delight was unbounded. The hall was beauti fully decorated for tbe occasion, and In the center of the stage was the motto: WELCOME. There'll a elite! amaiiK w taktu' uott's: Au' faltli, he'll yriut them. The exhibit of apples was simply wonderful. There were more thau 100 varieties. Af er viewing the pavilion for about an hour we were given a splendid din ner by the citizens, and after looking tbe city over we took our leave for Portland, arriving there about 5 o'clock. At 7:80 we all assembled at the Mar quam Grand, aud marched Iu a body to tbe Exposition, where we were given a warm reception by the president of the exposition. After listening for u while to the fine music of Sijr. Llber liti's baud, we tlieu feasted our eyes on the grand sights of the fair until tear o'clock. We theu went, to the Hotel Portion where a banquet had been arranged" for the edltorsand their wives. Three long tables, fashioned Into a big square based capital 17, were completely lined od either side witb (eastern when the orchestra atruok up a tune nf welcome, and the first course appeared. The Portland's chef had evidently expected -a crowd of epicurean critics to discus ' his handiwork, for he not only selected1 choice ediblesf.bot cooked them in a most appetizing way. We remained there until two-o'clock in the morning, eating and drinking good things, and) listening to good music, and toasts. At ten o'cliwk the next day Sunday the editors made an excursion to Oregon City. In the evening they at- tended church' tn a body. Monday morning we departed for our homes, reoTliring in a great degree the advantage obtained by following -the advice given in the Bible to forsake not the assembling of ourselves to gether. Our, Waterloo News. Rainy weather and muddy roads are an earnest of what we may expect forr the next few months. The rains have had the effect of rais-y ing the river so as to cover the soda springs, and we are consequently obliged to drink plain water or oeer. The masejuerade giveu here on the 29tbofSept. was well attended, and was a very enjoyable affair. Many, of the costumes were elegant, and most of the characters well sustained. Taken altogether it was a decided success.. October opened with more than the ' regulation amount of excitement for our little town. There Is reported an incipieot law-suit which quashed itself for wuHt of a foundation ou whleh to stand,. and a very meaty item in tbe ehape-of a forcible entry of the hutcher shop, on Mouday night. Pwbubly someone was unduly hungry. Word reached hero on Tuesday that a brother of Prof. T. L. Rice hd shot himself, at or near Grant's Pas. The Professor left at once for that place.

Mr. Stiers bus broken tbe ground, and will soon begin the erection of his new shop. It will be situated nearly opposite the post-office. Atty. Stowe was seen on our streets the first of the week; but legul business does not last long In this burg, so he was not detained here long. The grist-mill project is still an un decided question. It is understood that the required amount has been sub scribed, and the arrival ot Mr. Phillips is anxiously awaited to decide the mat ter and begin the work. There are various rumors afloat as to what the W. D. Co. are going to do, liut nothing more definite than rumors have been located as yet, and rumors are proverbially gaseous In their gen eral make-up. x.

"During my term of service in the army I contracted chronic diarrhoea," says A. E. Bending, of Halsey, Ore gon. Since then I have used a great amount of medicine, but when I found any that would give me relief they wouia injure my stomach, until Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy was brought to my notice, i usea it and will say it is the only remedy that gave me permanent relief and no bad results follow.
