Lafayette Lane, Ran Over by a Train at Roseburg. THE SOUTH SALEM SCHOOL. Iu What Manner the Ytrang Idea is Being Taught how to Shoot. Passengers on this morning's Shasta Express, reported tho partic ulars of a horrible accident that oc eured at Roseburg as the train pull ed out of that town last night. The train is helped over Rice's hill, from Roseburg, by an extra en gine, and Lafayette Lane, jr., has been employpd (is fireman on this engine. Last night, an engineer named Jap Wfiite, and Miss Lucy Burnett, daughter of Hon. J. D. Burnett of Oak Grove, Douglas county, were married. Young Lane attended the wedding, and after the wedding drank freely with tho other attendants. When the hour for the train to start north urrlved,the.engiueeron tho "helper" told Lane that he was in no condi tion to work, so to go to bed, and he would be all right this morning. This Lane refused to do, saying he was going to work. The engineer refused, however, to let him get on tho engine, and tho train started to pull out, leaving Lane standing on tho platform. He was bound to go, though, and when the emigrant car reached where he was standing, he caught hold of the platform railing, intend ing to swing himself onto tho car, hut here is where he miscalculated, and, missing his footing, the mo mentum of the moving train precipi tated him under the fast moving wheels, which passed over both legs, severing them from his body. Just what his condition is could not be learned, but his chances for life were considered very slim. The injured young man is a son of ox-Congressman Layfayette Lane, is about twenty years of age and is considered a very bright young man. Yet even his brightness does not vc him from teaching a great tem perance lesson to the masses. He is a cousin of Dr. Harry Lane, super intendent of the asylum. The Xestucca Road. Billy Baxter, of the Little Xestucca Toll Road company is in tho city for a few days in the inter est of his company. In talking with a Jouiikaii reporter yesterday, Mr. Baxter said that the road from the Grande Rondo reservation to the Little Xestucca bay was now in excellent condition it having re ceived many repairs since last year. Already since the road has fallen into its present management, manual labor, alone, to tho value of over 2000 has been put on the eleven miles of toll road, and many other improvements have been made. Two new bridges have been constructed, one 17o in length, and the other &5 feet long. This com pany is now engaged In opening a road around the bay from Little Xestucca to Sand Lake, Big Xes tucca beach, Capo Lookout, and Xetarts bay, so that this will bo one of the most delightful seashore drives that can be found at any of tho sea coast resorts. Mr. Baxter thinks that tho Xestuccas aro going to be more popular as seaside resorts. tins year campers. than ever before for From the Bunrbgrass Belt. John Dcvine, tho well known cat tle king of Eastern Oregon, came down last evening from Harney Val ley, and a Cavitai. Jouiin'AIj re porter found him taking life easy in a chair under tho shade trees In front of tho Chemoketo hotel this morning. Mr. Dovino says that tho past winter was the easiest on stock In Harney Valley and tho bunch grass belt around Stion's mountain, that he had ever experienced. He ayB tho present spring has beon very dry.nnd so far, the grass is very short. He says that unless rain falls hkui, the hay crop will bo quite liort. Ho roports u good many new oettlers as having located in that ter ritory, ami sayB the ontiro eastern wiuntry is filling up gradually with ltople from the East. F. P. Brown, a prominent horse-raiser of Omaha, Hcoompanlei) Mr. Dovino. Mr. Brown has u oarload of lino stal lions at Baker ulry for salo. This is his first visit to Oregon, and ho ox- presses himself as very well pleased with what he litis seen of the state. I'aih i For Weol. Higltast audi nriee paid for in the Opera limine block. F. Lkvy wool Tho scholars in tho South Salem school have n happy lot. The build ing is old, to bo sure, and the furniture not modern; but the rooms are commodious, sufficiently shaded and lighted from three sides. It is surrounded with a pino forest, one block of this being school laud, which affords the children a de lightful play ground, and supplies fuel for winter use at tho slight ex pense of cutting. Our reporter visited this school yesterday, nnd was courteously received by Prof. Lane, who has been seven years principal of the school. Ho has an average attendance of 40 scholars, which are classified as follews: Grndo 1, B class 15 scholars " 2, A class 7 ' ' " 2, B class 8 ' " 3, A class ,21 When the newspaper man had been invited to a seat, the two classes, flrst named were celled up to recite a lesson in physiology. The heart was the subject of study, and its mode of action in tho circulation ofbloo.d. The lesson was of the na ture of a review, and the questions were answered promptly and intelli gently. Mr. Lane called the. attention of his visitor to a valuable physiologi cal chart furnished by the school board. Colored plates show the human figure, its muscles, its nerves, its viscera, .its venous and arterial system and its skeleton. The internal functions iu their condition and in disease aro exhib ited, the stomach, liver and kidneys in their natural state, and tho ap penrance they present after a life of intemperance. Said the professer: "Those schools where this lesson is taught may be trusted to turn out their contingent of temperance voters. To bo fore-warned is to be fore-armed, and this knowledge of tho deleterious effects of strong drink communicated to the mind through the eye, will abide with these young people through all their after lives." Class B, grade 1, was next put through a grammar lesson. Several sentences were written on the black board and analyzed by tho modern school process of diagraming. This sentence was given tho class: Oft In the stilly night When slumber's chain has bound me. "Analyze that sentence," said the professor to his younggrtunmurians. They looked at their teacher with significance in their regards, but made no motion. "Why don't you go on with your work? ho inquired. "It hasn't got a subject," was the reply of several scholars. "These young people," said the professor, (sotto voce to the journal ist,) "when called on to exercise their judgment in the affairs of life, will at least have clear perceptions1 to guide them. They will not be dinned with mere sound." A class in mental arithmetic worked out a number of fractional problems with commendable celer ity. Hero is a specimen: Aflshlmr rodU 10 feet Ions; "A of Its length lucks 21cot of being the length of tho line, itequlre the length of the line. This and similar numerical com plications wero worked out by the rather complicated formula fur nished by tho text book and the answer arrived at with unfailing ac curacy. MISS lilZZIK DKAIIUOIIX is the only assistant teacher in this school, and she has three clasps as follews: B class 3rd grade, and the 4th and fith grades, which are not subdivided into classes. Tho aver age attendance in this room is about 30 scholars. Tho fourth grade was called up for a lesxon in arithmetic, tho exam ples being in short division. Thoy wero written on the blackboard, the process by which tho sums were worked being given at full length. The third grade was next heard in geography, a map of Oregon drawn from memory, on the black board, being part of the losson. Tho boundaries, mountain chains and river courses wero marked and tho names of tho larger cities given. While this was beins done the Ions advanced scholars sat at their desks and wrote a few definitions In civil Kovcrnmeut. The collection of taxes and tho uses to which tho money thus collected can bo prop erly applied, wero distinctly stated. "Do you teach your scholars any thing about the tariff?" the newspa per man inquired of tho teacher. Ami that laity good humoredly re plied. "This is ono of the place) where the tariff discussion is not al lowed to enter." The order in tho South Salem school is perfect, and tho ramtort ex isting between toucher and scholar la allthHt could be desired. LOCAL NOTES. Fresh strawberries at A. Strong & Co's. Gov.
