PER ORDER or CoM
BEFORE us is a copy of TIE Vest
Side, published at Independence,
Oregon, with Billy Penrose, former
ly Of this place, as one Of the pub
fishers. Although but three months
old it glistens with prosperity, is
well printed and edited in an inde-
pendent, fearless manner. From it
we learned that Mr.. Isaac Penrose,
who resided in that vicinity the past
year, has located in Eastern Oregon,
in the hope that it will prove more
beneficial to his complaint, asthma.

years back. The gathering Of such
valuable collection must have tax
ed the crippled manager much
trouble, labor, study and expense,
and the fact that he has done so well
merits a generous support-some-
thing he didn't realize in Mineral
Point, we are sorry to say. This isl

PAINFUL Saturday
while our time-honored citizen,
Mr. John Pea,ce, was coming down
lIenry's hill where the youth Of the
city congregate largely for coasting,
he was run into by one Of the coast
ers and Knocked down, striking up
on his head with such force az to
render him insensible for several
hours. He has had painful ordeal,
but the latest reports indicate
recovery, which his many friends
greatly relish The practice OF
coasting has since been closely crit
icised, and the careleSSness of the
boys condemned with emphasis; but
in the collision with Mr.. Pearce, as
we understand it, the little fellow on
the sled was so young and iueXperi-
enced that he could not manage j,
when under headway of speed,
and Mr.. p. being near sighted they
came together with neither 10 blame,
resulting as stated. 'Tis hoped this
accident will prove a sufficient warn
in2 to boys to be remarkably careful
in time to come. We know from ex
perence that it is grand sport coast
ing, but if accompanied with rcck
lessness it should be condemned as q
Nuisance.

IN the following paragraph an ex-
change ably expresses our exact SEN
tlments on the subject in hand.
"Stand by your town. A word
against your city depreciates the
value of your property and Injuries
your business. 1t takes money out
of your purse, and jeopardizes the
comfort, peace and happiness OF
your family. 1t drives trade from
ycur stores, sends the produce of
the country to other markets and

buyer can well afford to give little
more per pound after there has been
cold or disagreeable weather. A lit
tie shrinkage also occurs in the
spring after the cattle are turned on
grass. Sometimes there is loss
even after three weeks on good grass.

MANY of our older citizers will be
panied to learn of the death of Rev.
John Knibbs at his home in Prairie
du Chen, last Friday, Feb. lst.
In 1861 Mr. Knibbs was appointed
pastor of Mineral Point M. E,
church, remaining here two years and
doing very effective work. In Min.
eral Point he married Miss Blodgett
who with three children survive
him.
Some years ago while pastor at
Mt. Stirling he was lost and in his
wanderings froze his feet, one of
which has been several times ampu-
tated and was really the cause Of
his death.
Mr. Knibbs was a good preacher,
and an excellent pastor-and a grand
man has gone 20 his rest.
Wounded in the service of truth
he has held fast in the even tenor of
a sweet and useful life.
Something will be said concern
ing him at the M. K. church next
Sabbath.
As WE a few weeks ago alluded
to the subject below, the following
from the Northwestern Christian Ad
0ocate of Jan. %, will be interesting:
We hear of more Methodist union
tendencies. The Bible Christians
of Wisconsin met ian. rs in their
church in Pleasant Valley, Wis, to
consult as to their future ecclesiasti-
cal relations. Of the Primitive
Methodist church Rev. Messrs. Allen
and Hendra, Of Mineral Point, Rev.
j. s. Leayitt Of our church, and Rev.
Mr. Wilson, of the Protestant Meth
odist church, were present, among
others. After a thorough canvass
Of the forms Of church government
and the various questions involved,
it was decided almost unanimously
to enter the Methodist Episcopal
church as a body. The church in
question has FIVE ordained ministers,
42G COMMITMENTS, zoo Sunday
school pupils, thirteen churches and
five parsonages, the two last valued
at $4,000 The churches are all
within the Milwaukee district Of our
Wisconsin conference. The body
represents excellent people, and will
undoubtedly be received into our
church.

MANY buyers and sellers of cattle
fail to give full consideration to the
effect Of the weather on the gain in
weight Of cattle. Not only is itmore
costly to put on flesh in winter than
in summer, but it is also true that the
first cold weather Of early winter
often has a decided effect in shrink
ing cattle. The month has been
a favorable one in the main. There
was one cold snap and some cold
rains, but as a rule the weather was
pleasant for the season; yet the scales
tell that a number Of young steers
put on but little flesh during the
month. This is true Of those full

NEVER skip the advertisements
when reading a newspaper. They
show just what live business men
are about, and everyone who has
trading to do, will find it pays to
trade with those advertise. Busi-
ness men who do not advertise are
not up to the spirit of the age, and
their stock fingers on their hands.
Those who advertise turn their
stock quickly, make fair profit and
always have a fresh supply to select
from. This is a fact and not fic.
tion, as can be demonstrated by every
successful business man in the
country.

METHODIST CENTENARY.

Essays on the Fathers of the Church.
BALTIMORE, MD, Dec, lin the
centenary conference OF the Methodist
church this morning Bishop Wilson
occupied the chair.
A resolution calling for grand
temperance demonstration during the
session OF the conference was referred
TO the executive committee.
The special order OF the day was n
review Of the life Of the first Methodist
bishop In America, Superintendent
Francis Asbury, and what he did for
Methodism, by Rev. Jesse Boring. The
paper was read by VIM. Thompson.
The reading OF the essay on Bishop
Asbury was followed by an address
by Rev. Alfred Wheeler on the rela-
tions Of John Wesley to American
Methodism. This was followed by a
general discussion OF the subject OF
| itineTacy.
Bishop Andrews made report
recommending that two temperance
mass meetings be held Saturday next

The report was adopted and the con.
ference adjourned

WICHITA FALLS.
A General Rain Throughout the Pan
handle.
The Great Chances in Wintering Stock
Without Food or Shelter,

Special TO tho Gazette.
WICHITA FALLS. TEX, Dec. H.
This Is the third day Of rain and it is
still raining. The rivers and creeks
are booming. The new bridges built
across tho different streams in
this county this season are
highly appreciated by those
who trade at this point, especially now
that the rivers are past fording. This
rain IL general throughout the Pan
handle and Northwest Texas. The
chances are that IL will turn cold after
the rain is over, which will make Ii
hard on cattle. Stockmen report cattle
drifting badly. This has been the
first severe storm we have had this
winter. As a rule the cattle in this
section were in good condition to start
in with, hence they can stand good
deal Of punishment.
AS the country settles up the range
grows less, and the day Is not far dis
tant when cattle will have to be fed
here as elsewhere. At least
during these cold storms the result
will be less cattle, better stock, more
money, pleasure and comfort for the
stock raiser. AS IL Is now, the stock
men take desperate chances in winter
ing stock, with neither feed nor shell
ter-this on account OF so much Of the
country having been fenced up In the
last few years. Many are already
planting Bermuda grass, sowing
johnson and other grasses for
feed and find that IL pays. There is
none Of this Northwest country but
what will yield from one and a half to
three tons Of mlllet or Johnson grass
to the acre, and 1t Is said that one acre
Of Bermuda grass is equal to seven
acres Of the native grasses for feed.
One head of good improved stock, well
fed and sheltered from the cold wei
northers, such as we are now having,
Is worth more than FIVE head Of "long.
horns" running wild and half starved
on the range.
