Temperance Union Service,

Last Sunday night the different churches
of our city, represented by their ministers,
met in the Episcopal church and held the
f-st of . series OF temperance union services
to be held monthly at the places Of worship
of the various denominations of our city.
Mr.. Nash, of the Episcopal church, was the
first speaker. He presented the subject in
a calm, clear, and logical maune, and with
christian spirit. He presented St. Paui's
attitude with reference to "me.ss offered
to IDOLS as the true position for the chris
tians to occupy towards the liquor business.
He quoted Paul and adopted him.. as hi.
own idea ''thatif to eat meats offered to
idols would cause his brother to offend he
would;not eat meats SO long ~ the world
stands" He urged christians to avoid by
example doing that which would cause men
to err and lead them asttsy.
Rev. Simpson of The Presbyterian church
was the next spesker. He did, mot look
to charts OF the stomach and brain for les
sons on intenaperance, neither did he rely on
demonstrations given by temperance
lectures on the coaguiatiou of the white OF
eggs by alcohol, but he only looked at the
samples of wrecked manhood that comes
under our daily observation. He called at
tention to the premsture graves here, and
there. that have been made in the last
seventeen years, as witnesa Of the folly of a
life of intemperance.
Rev. Dunning. pastor OF the Presbyterian
church, then rRada some well timed and
seasoned remarks. He thought the Womans
Christian Temperance Union influences was
great power for good In promoting the
uecess OF the temperance cause; hs ex-
hortcd the christians to lives Of christian
temperance by precept and example.
Rev. Bell of the NJ. e. church south, was
the last speaker. He was glad of the CO.
operation of the churches on the vital ques-
ton of temperance. He mentioned the tact
that the liquor dealers complained that the
temperance people bothered them and wonld
not let them alone. He said We had to
trouble them, it was for their good; we did
not wish to kill them Or burn their property,
but we wanted to save them because we
loved them. we did not love their business.
He recognized the fact that there was a
great uprising among the people on the
temperance question.

Mr.. H. Roster of Niobrara, Nebraska,
arrived in our town last week and intends
to remain and become citizen with US.
He informs us of soms thirty or forty fam
lilies near that place who intend also to
move here AS soon as they can dispose OF
their property, for the purpose of seeking
permanent homes and also to avoid the ex-
treme cold weather incident to Nebraska.
Mr.. Roster is much pleased with Oregon
and has recommended his friends to come
also.
Mr.. Henry Elliott informs us that some
time ago report had gained circulation
here to the effect that A. B. Wooley, for
merly of this place, had became involved
with serious difficulty with man up north.
Mr.. Elliott requests US to gtatc that he has
been receiving letters every few days from
Mr.. Weoley and has received several letters
since the report was circulated here and
that he knows that there is no truth in the
report.
The Roaeburg Independent says that San
Francisco gilt-edged butter, composed of a
Sillainous and unpslatsble mixture, is sell
ing all over Oregon at such reduced figures
that the farmers of this land of moisture,
where grass grows in abundance and the
fields are ever green, cannot compete with
it and in consequence their dairies are dried
up and the cows turned out the greater
part of the year. Even the granger is
forced to buy this foreign mixture or sop
their hot cake in hog fat portion of the
year.
Mr. A Cauthorn of this place started to
Missouri, the place Of his former home. On
his way BE will stop for few days to visit
friends and relatives in California. This is
the first time FOR fifty years that Mr.. Cau-
thorn has disengaged his attention from the
cares Of business to take time for rest and
recreation. His business habits for all that
time has been such that it engaged his I'M
divided attention for each and every day
during all of that long period of time except
Sundays.
Old lady Saunders, of Monroe precinct,
pounc9d IN upon Dusn =" ilsoH ISsb w eo1es-
day and gave him general going over be-
cause hehad delivered county order to G.
W. Horck whom she and her husband had
authorized Houck to get aud pay to the
sheriff on the old lady's taxes which Houck
had done. The signs Of war darted forth
from the old gals eyes and she demanded
of Bush that he fork over the coin immedi-
ately. Bush when on the sea was no doubt
brave man among whales, but at this par
ticular juncture he looked as if he was be-
siegsd by whole drove of mountain lions
Bush don't mind doing business with the
men, but when such women come, their
modesty and timidity make him go clear
down into his old shoes. 1t was trying
scene indeed

The Jubilee Singers.

Over two hundred people were turned
away last evening for want OF even stand
ing room in the hall, SO great was the crowd
to witness the first performance of Howes
Kentucky Jubilee Singers in Seattle. The
musical first part was unusually interesting,
and gave general satisfaction. In fact,
nearly every separate song and act during
the entire evening was greeted with an en-
core. Space will not permit US to specify
those particularly worthy of mention. IF
hearty encores and loud applause are any
sign of the merit of performance, the one
last night must be set down as good. An
entire change of program is announced for
this evening. which will be the last appear
ance of the companys,in Seattle. Lovers of
minstrel performance should not fail TO go
and hear the Kentucky Jubilee Singers.

free from sectarianism and depends upon
voluntary contributions for its support.
