ELDORADO SPRINGS.

To allpersons suffering with any nasal ca
tarrh affection of the throat or stomach, /
bers of my family were suffering with ca
tarrh in the head and myself with an affec-
ton of the stomach. That / purchased a
gallon of the mineral water taken from the
spring on the South Umpqua, 3 miles west
of Roseburg of G. NJ. Jones, Dr. Hamilton
agent, and can testify that both myself and
family have received great benefits from it's
use. My son Andrew Willis was suffering
very much from nasal catarrh and by the
use of this water has entirely recovered and
is now well. I can unhesitatingly recon-
mend it as the best medicine I have used in
my family for any of the above named COM
plants. REV. w. A. WILLIS.

Another Stage Robbed

The stage going south Friday night
of last week, was stopped on the sum-
nit Of Wolf creek hill, eight miles
south Of Glendale, by two men sitting
by camp fire within foot Of the
read. They presented a double-bar-
relied shotgun and coolly demanded
Wells, Fargo i Co.'S treasure box,
which was handed out and the driver
ordered to move on. The box was
broken open and relieved of its con-
tents, $40 and few letters. The pas
sengers, of whom there were three, and
the mail, were not disturbed. No trace
Of the robbers is found, as they left the
road, going off through the timber.

October.

II surely granted to those who have not
poetic wings which to soar and sing the
praises of this charming month to indulge in a
few harmless remarks on it's general delight
someness. When the returns are all in October
is certainly qualified to be queen o. the year.
The weather during her reign, if conducted ac-
cordng to the ime-honored observances, should
be perfect just warm enough to suggest retreat
ing summer, and just cool enough to herald ad-
vancing winter. This is the very latest month
of the year in which all outdoor enterprises are
comfortably INDUCED in, and it should ne the
joyful duty Of every man, woman and child to
live as much possible in the open air. Let
the indoor task be set aside, as much con-
science will permit, and give every spare hour
to walks, drives and woods excursions. Mind,
heart and body will be all the better for close
communion with nature Sin her visible FORMS"
and the oncoming and oft-times tedious months
of winter will be shortened and frightened by
the remembrance of the hours or days offered on
the glowing altar of October.
