gk rom DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, - OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24. 1911. A SPLENDID SPECIMEN OF THE PIONEER John Outturn passed away Novem ber 18, 1911-, a good man and a Just one. A friend pays him this tribute: "One of the thrifty and thriving farmers of Polk county was John Osburn, a well known citizen of In dependence, a town which Is fortu nate In having been settled by a re markably enterprisng, Industrious and Intelligent class of people. A man of upright principles and good ' business ability, he won well deserved success through his own energetic efforts and wisely directed toll, and while advancing his own Interests, gave material assistance in develop ing the resources of his town and county. "John Osburn was born In Orange county, Indiana, August 25, 1831, and acquired his early education In the old log school house, which consti tuted the entire educational equip ments of that region. Reared to ha bits of diligence, he commenced when quite young to assist in the care of the home farm remaining with his parents until 1850; Ambitious thn to enlarge his field of operations, he Joined an emigrant train of three wagons bound for Oregon, paying 1100 for his fare. During the six months thnt he was on the way, he walked the greater part of the dis tance, driving one of the teams. "Settling first in Oregon City, he remained there until the spring of 1851, when he proceeded to Salem. In March, 1852 he went to southern Oregon to engage in mining on Jack son creek in Jackson county. Soon after, he took up a donation claim of 160 acres on Little Butte, and was engaged in stock raising and mining for several years, being quite pros perous In both branches of Industry. Also in company with P. P. Prim, he did considerable prospecting in that section of the state. "At intervals during his residence there, serious trouble with the In dians arose and Mr. Osburn took an active part in some of the engage ments of those years, Bervlng from August 8, 1853, until November 1, 1853, under Capt. J. P. Miller, in the Rogue River war. Subsequently in the Rogue River war of 1855 and 1856, he served for eight months, as second lieutenant of Company G, un der Capt Miles P. Alcon. "Disposing of his ranch on the Lit tle Butto in 1863, Mr. Osburn went to Idaho, where for two years he was Dr. Lyon's PERFECT Tooth Powder cleanses, preserves and beau tifies the teeth and imparts purity and fragrance to the breath. Mothers should teach the little ones its daily use. A. G, PERKINS CROSSES THE DIVIDE employed In mining operations at Florence City and Idaho City. Meet ing with but little success there, he left Idaho in 1865, coming, to Polk county, Oregon, to look after his present farm or at least 174 acres of it, which he had received in ex change for a band of bronchos, trad ing while on the way to Idaho. The land was wild prairie and this he has since transformed Into a finely cultivated, rich and productive farm adding all the Improvements since he came here. He also bought adjoin Ing land, his estate now containing 250 acres of land, which Is devoted to general farming, stock raising and dairying. "In 1867, in Benton county, Ore., Mr. Osburn married Harriet Martin who was born In Iowa in 1846. Her father, Jacob Martin, was among the pioneer settlers of Benton county, re moving there with his family In 1847. Mr. and Mrs. Osburn have five child ren namely: Orange, a resident of Salem; Mrs. Estella Flynt, of Baker City; Ernest, living In Alaska; R. D., of Black Rock, and Lettie Huntley, of Independence. "Mr. Osburn is a member of the Oak Grove grange and has rendered his town excellent service as road supervisor, school clerck and school director. In politics he was a staunch Republican, uniformly cast ing his vote in support of the prin ciples of that party.' Saved Child From Denth. "After our child had suffered from severe bronchial trouble for a year," wrote G. T. Richardson of Richard son's Mills, Ala., "we feared it had consumntlon. It had n hnri -muh nil the time. We- tried many remedies wunout avail, and doctor's medicine seemed as useless. Finally we tried Dr. King's New DlRpnvprv onrl ara Pleased to say that one bottle effected a complete cure, and our child is again strong and healthy." For coughs, colds, hoarseness, lagrlppe, asthma, croup and sore lungs, it's the most Infallible remedy that's made. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guar anteed by J. C.

None bettor. a A..G. Perkins, a respected pioneer citizen of Marion county, died at his home In this city, 295 Sixteenth street, south, Thursday night at 10 a. m. He has lived In Salem for the past 15 years, for the purpose of edu cating his children, and conducted his large farm near Brooks. The fu neral will be held from the First M. E. church Saturday at 3 p. m., Rev. Bowersox, of Portland, conducting the service. A. G. Perkins was born in Bangor, Maine June 16, 1831, and was one of nine children. When 22 years, of age he moved to Minnesota, where he engaged in the lumber business, and remained until 1860, at which time he crossed the plains, stopping in Colorado for a couple of years and engaged in mining. From there he came to Baker City, this state, again taking up the mining business, which he also tried for a year in Boise, Ida. He came to Salem in 1864 and pur chased the old Lewis Pettijohn claim. 12 miles south of the city, and here his wife, he was married to Hannah Barcon in 1863, Joined him. Later he purchased a farm north of Salem, and later the 400-acre place adjoin ing, which was his home since. He leaves a family of 13 children. He was a man of genial disposition, thor oughly reliable upright and honor able; a man of whom any community might well feel proud, and whose death is a genuine loss to it. o X-RAYS AND SMILES. Anyway, those Kansas farmers nut Shady Bend on the map with their tar brushes. It was a shady as well as a Shady Bend event. Hassing's suspense Is now ended, since he will not be suspended. No doubt the Hon. Mr. Morgan, of Grants Pass, rejoices in the good luck of Hasslng appreciating the matter probably as much as does Hasslng. A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind." Anyway, because our Ben has been promoted to the office of governor. he can't get that big 'Hon." in front of his name, not with the aid or con 'nlvance of the horse editor. How much Is a sack of potatoes, anyway, and why? That's what is worrying Portland people. When this Is settled, the horse editor would like to have another equally indefinite de scription cleared up: "How many are there In a handful of people," and what for. As the last act of Governor West was to abolish hanging, it would not be out of place for Governor Olcott, as his first official act, to abolish that other relic of the barbarous medevlal ages whlchl n these days border on the criminal the title of "Hon." The sons of the pioneers of the white race who "hewed down the for ests and cut out the shade, and let in the sunshine Jehovah has made," where rolls the Oregon, may well take an especial and abundant pride in welcoming the. sons of those other pioneers, who conquered the sixth continent. It may be that some of their ancestors "left their country for their country's good," but, anyway. It was for the good of Australia. Governor West draws the line on hanging, but it is not the line the hangees are so much afraid of. A Nervous Woman Find Relief After Many Years . Women who suffer from extreme nervousness, often endure nuch suffering before finding any relief. Mrs. Daniel Kintner, of Defiance, O., had such an experience, regard ing which she says: "I had stomach trouble when I was eighteen years old that broke, down my health, and for years I suffered with nervousness, headache, Indiges tion and nervous spasms. The spasms got so bad I would kara them three or four times week. After try. ing nearly every remedy recom mended, I began taking Dr. Miles' Nervine, and I must say It helped me wonderfully. I have had no severs nerv ousness for several years." MRS. DAN KINTNER, 1002 Pleasant St., Defiance, O. Many remedies are recommended for diseases of the nervous system that fail to produce results because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. Dr. Miles' Nervine has proven its value in such cases so many times that it is unnecessary to make claims for it You can prove its merits for yourself by getting a bottle of your druggist, j who will return the price if you receive no benefit MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. 2 A tkw Double Buying Power That Is what your dollar has at the Chicago Store.
