MR.. HERMAN WITTMANN has received
a patent upon q car-coupler invented by
him which promises to come into gener-
al use on our railroads. It does away
with the risk ofaccident to which brakes
men are now liable to undergo, and can
be applied to the coupling now in use,
making the expense to railroad corpora
tons trifing. We hope there's mil
lions in it,

caused horse to run away and severely
injure the driver, and one day last week
a little boy was so severely bitten by one

will not our city fathers have tax plac-

Watterson's call for 100, 900 Kentuckians
to march to Washington on the 14th of
February to see the vote counted, carried
no gloom to our hearts Neither did
the red hot editorials of the Chicago

the Indiana Democrats cause US to ITEM
BILE. But now, since the boss copper
head of the Northwest, Geo. B. Smith,
and a few more of his ill,, have declared
that Tilden and Hendricks were elected
and should be inaugurated, and have
called mass meeting to assemble in
Milwaukee to-day to solemnly declare
their convictio-.s, it is time for the Re
publicans of the country to halt in their
mad career and reflect. And especially
is this the case since the Manitowoc
County Democrats have joined in the
moYe-have held a convention and chos-
en- delegates to attend the meeting il
Milwaukee. The record of those dele
gates-their well known laundering after
blood and gore (and ofices)--tne look
of determination which shone in their
eyes while listening TO the soul-inspiring
resolutions drawn up by G. I'll. Schmidt
all combine to make us quake in cur
boots. The delegates from this county
are all old warriors-vetera-w the
exception of those who were incapaci-
tated from duty OF bought substitutes,
and we cannot look oyer the list without
feeling that crisis is imminent. Rath-
,er than stir up their wrath The Repub-
hcans Of Wisconsin should lose no time
lutions requesting Hayes and Wheeler
to step down and out and humbly
apologize to the Democracy for ever
intimating that they were chosen by the
people of the United States as President
and Vice President. Just look at this

Reception.

A public reception was given at As
torla Ogn. to Col. NJ. =. Miller, at
which Gen. 0. +. Bell presided. In
Gen. Bells remarks upon the occasion
he says of Miller at the Clearwater
fight.
Col. Miller was then in command.
There white men and Indians crawled
through the tall grass to within a few
feet Of each other; and when the brave
Capt. Babcock fl, as it was thought
mortally wounded, and his company
began retreat which might have lost
tho battle, what did Miller do? His
experience in Indian warfare enabled
him to realize the situation at glance.
Crawling as it were to Babcock's com
pany. he raised up out Of the grass and
with stern voice shouted charge
That charge saved the day and drove
the Indians from the field.
The above is about as it was told us
soon after the fight. Miller was evi-
IDENTIFY the man whose skill and bravery
saved our troops from defeat in thas
battle, and to him belong the honors of
the victory, and there is every reason
for believing that had Miller not been
outranked by superior officer, he
would have followed up this vieto-
ry and whipped the Nez Perces
before they reached the Lo Lo trail,
and ended the war.

Diphtheria.

Diphtheria is still raging in different
portions of this country. For the bene-
tit of those who are living inconvenient
to physicians, W give what purports to
be the means used bv Or. Fields, an
English physician, who. it is said, has
never lost a case He takes tea
spoonful of -four of birthstone aud mixes
1t in wineglass of water, using his fn-
ger instead of a spoon. in order TO more
thoroughly dissolve the sulphur. This
he uses as a gargle, and allows his pa
tient to swallow it. The birthstone
kills every species of fungus on man.
beast or plant. If the patient cannot
use garsle, the doctor places the brim-
stone on II live coal, and allows the suff-
erer to inha!e the fumes. Sometimes
also when the throat is fast closing. he
has blown the sulphur through quill
into the throat. This will destroy the
fungus, aud then the garglc may be
used. The room may also be filled with
the fumes Of burning sulphur. and the
patient allowed to walk around in the
room" In addition to the above we
would suggest that great care should
be observed in the use ofthc fumes of
sulphur, Or death may follow. IF your
child is attacked with the disease. use
the sulphur and send for your family
physician. .- W. w Unoa.

Gen. HOWard's Indian Theory.

In response to the ovation given Gen.
Howard at Portland he took occasion to
condemn the present theory of the gov
ernraent with Indians aud suggested
the following:
Our only remedy appears to me to
be, "cease forever from making wheels
within wheels from making even the
sEMBLANCE of treaties, assume at the
outset what is always the truth at the
bottom, and finally, come to namely,
UNITED STATES JURISDICTION then
make q permanent management, make
it as nearly conformable to our system
Of government as possible. If justice
cannot be secured to those who are dis
posed to do right, where the governing
is all on the side of our own people :;
then probably removal and territorial
form of government somewhere fer the
Indians. becomes the possible solution,
and the SCHOOLS and the WORK the
permanent remedy. Gather them into
territory, put on the schools and the
work and the taxes. Let obligations
go alongside Of privileges, and if there
is not human nature and human capa.
city in tho red race, as their friends
claim and believe, then the OLD
TROUBLES will be abated.
This campaign evidently has given
the General greater wisdom upon the
Indian question. The above theory
commcnds itself to the good sense Of
every man conversant with Indian char
acter.

The New Country.

Though actual settlers have been 60
ing in usual numbers for many months
into nearly all parts of Eastern Oregon
and Washington, and some into Idaho.
yet most have gone to the Palouse coun-
try; and still the tide sets in that d.
rection, Notwithstanding the growing
lateness of the season. BY persons who
have just returned from tour through
the country, made with view to fnd.
ing lands for settlement, we are assured
that occupation Of the country is as yet
scarcely begun. These persons easily
found lands which they selected for
future homes, and to which they will
return just as soon as they can arrange
their affairs. A steady movement of
people to tho country east of the Cas-
cade mountains is still noted, both Of
new comers and of persons who have
long resided in Western Oregon. An
incident brings this last fact to our no.
tice in another way. Not day passes
which does not bring orders to change
the address of the Oregonian from Of
fees west of the Cascades to points east,
in Oregon, Washington, or Idaho.
The country which few years ago was
deemed valueless except for grazing,
is rapidly becoming the great region
for wheat; and it will not be long till
the country east of the Cascade range
will produce FIVE bushels of grain to our
one.
No finer country ever was seen
than the district beginning at Umatila,
extending through Walla Walla and
reaching north of Snake river to the
Spokane, and even beyond. 1t is Sec
tion much larger than the Willamette
valley, and has proportionately greater
agricultural capacity. In a few years
it will have quarter of million inhab-
itants, and is capable Of sustaining six
times that number. When the North
ern Pacific railroad is built through it,
affording an outlet for its products, its
development will be prodigious. It's
commerce will occupy prominent place
in the mighty stream that will flow in
the near future through the channel of
the Columbia, to and from the open sea.
