MRS. L1vERxoRE says that the
reason why Massachusetts, is no longer
the leader it was formerly, lies in the
fact that her best blood and brains
have left her, and are now busy build
ing up the West. In Iowa, she says,
there are more men and women of
Massachusetts, birth, in proportion to
populations, than there are in
Massachusetts,, and that there are in
the same state more persons of New
England birth, in proportion to pop
nlation, than in any New England
state, and these premises lead her to
believe that she does not risk much in
predicting that the first state to extend
absolutely equal rights to women win
b western stats, and that she risks
80 in naming Iowa q that stats. :

AMONG the notable things to be found
in Boston is shop for mending boots
and shoes, where fifty thousand pairs
are mended every year, and where for
ty-thousand people 60 each year to
have their boots and shoes half soled,
patched, &c. The establishment en-
ploys ten first class workmen, besides
machinery driven by a six horse power
engine, and consumes 400 sides of sole
leather as we'll as numberless patches
supplied from great quantities of pieces
left over in cutting uppers. Thus
"Cobbling," in this instance, is the
work of skill and not the crude result
of the handicraft of poor workmanship.

reopen the exposition business in that
city under the name of The North, Cen

It is held under the immediate man
agement Of a chartered company Of the

cultivate closer acquaintanceship be-

course, the south American nations
will be especially invited, and for all
practical purposes it should be more

ican commission. In order to obviate
the annoyances and difficulties which
were 80 common at the exposition last
year, double track steam railway will
be built from central portion of the
city to the ground.

Flying Machine.

A story comes from Cairo, H.. to
the effect that the veritable flying ma
chine has been invented. It says that
it is not improbable that the solution
of the great problem of building fly
ing machine has been brought about by
a Paducah, Kentucky, man, who in
the presence of several reporters and
many citizens attained at least some
degree of success i'll the premises.
Prof. Calvin A. Hay es is the progress
i've party who has caused the sensation,
and while the inner mechanism is not
given to the public, its general outside
appearance is not unlike arge army
tent, the flies of the tent representing
the wings of the machine. Tie first
start was interrupted by . break in the
wings Later the guys were loesened,
the wings fapred, and then the machine
sailed forty feet into the air, guided in
various directions by tho Professor,
finally landing safely near where it
started, having made tour of a couple
of hundred of feet. TIE inventor
claims he can come from Paducah to
Cairo "as the crow flies" in an hour

The Indian Problem.

Suppose Chief Joseph, Chief Doug

Chief Geronimo, or any other of the
murderous Indians, had been served
under American law as Chief Pound
maker is being served under Canadian
law, would not the lives of hundreds
of innocent persons--victims of their
butchery-ha been saved? No doubt
of it. Not one of these offending In
dians was ever so much as brought to
trial, though the blood of the slaugh-
tered settlers cried aloud against them
for vengence. Now, mark how it is
in Canada! The Indian chief Pound.
maker, who became q party to the
half breed rebellion of the north west
was captured and is undergoing trial
at Winnipeg, Manitoba. The indict-
ment against him is for treason-felony,
and the object is to prove that he
captured provision train, and wrote
a letter to Riel, in which he boosted Of
having killed six soldiers. II the tes-
timony sustains these charges, as 1t
seems to be doing, Poundmaker will
suffer death on the gallows-a sentence
which is now impending over Riel. The
Canadians have different way cf deal
ing with the hostile Indians from that
which is common not pnpulsr-in
tue United States, which, instead of
furnishing the murderous redskins, puts
them on the reservations and feeds
them with government rations.

IN IRISH PARLIIMENT.

The latest sensation in English poll
tics is Mr.. Parnell's Dublin speech.
In that address he declared that there
was only one thing on the programme
of the Irish parliamentary party, name
ly the restoration of the Irish Parlia-
ment. When that Parliament assem-
bled III Dublin, he said it would devel-
op the Healy clauses of the Land act.
make tenants owners of their holdings,
and secure to laborers share in the
land. He dwelt upon the Importance
of securing loyal and self-denying mem
bers in the next Parliament for the fl
nal battle for home rule. He even
went so far as to forecast the work of
the Irish Parliament, which he said
would consist of a single chamber. In
later address he declared that if the
Irish only used judgment and moder-
alton they would see the two English
parties competing to settle the Irish
question. The Irish. leaders utter
ances have called forth storm of anx-
ious and angry criticism. The Stand
ard, the leading Tory organ, says: "Mr.
Parnell has declared war 1t will be a
shame and disaster if English states
men Of both parties fail to battle him. !"
The Times says that no prudent politi-
clan can afford to underrate the impor-
tance of the step taken bv The Iiish
Nationalists at the Dublin conference.

IN MEMORY or EMMA GILMORE.
BY HER MOTHER.

Oh, why do we mourn for our loved ones,
That pass from our bright homes away,
Laid at rest in the cold, damp graveyard
Until the awakening day
My home is now lonely and saddened
By the loss of one sweet little face
That was loaned me awhile but TO gladden.
My heart with its innocent grace.
She is mourned by the once complete circle;
Laid away in her green, messy bed.
Resting sweetly. So peacefully sleeping,
Angels pillow her dear, shining head.
Earthly paths were too rough to be trodden
BY such pure and delicate feet
And she was called by bright angels to Heaven
To walk on Gods beautiful street.
The dear face made wan by earth's suffering
Is now with great j5y overcast,
As if the angels soft whisperings
Had brought her sweet peace at last.
Just think of her now as an angel,
With her pure and bright shining wings,
Now at rest and free from all suffering
What Joy to my poor heart it brings.
My darling, it seems, was but given
To brighten my home for awhile;
She's now drawing my thoughts up to Heaven
Where the good and the beautiful. dwell.
She has passed over the dark mystic river,
The secret of which none can tell,
Till we all meet in that blessed forever,
Fare well, little Emma, farewell!

EDITOR REVIEW As you seem to
wish to agitate any and all questions
that are for the social and moral bene-
fit of Roseburg, allow me to suggest
that now is the time to begin to agi-
tate the subject of planting shade trees.
Our streets should be ornamented with
these beautiful objects of nature. |
would advise that there should be a
united effort this season in this dlrec-
tion. By this means Roseburg would
add much to the many advantages it
already possesses. Our citizens should
not pass this matter idly by but.a the
proper time should act upon it. A
great, forward step all along the line
should be the watchword this year.

The Caroline Islands.

The Caroline islands, or New Philip
pines, on account of the seizure of
which by Germany Srain impotently
raves, comprise scattered group Of
about five hundred islands lying little
north of the equator and New Guinea.
The inhabitants, numbering, say sc, 900,
are swarthy, the soil produces the veg
citation peculiar to the torrid zone IN
abundance, and animal lite is prolific
The action of Germany is in accord
with the policy of colonial aggrandize-
ment that has recently characterized
the craftsmanship of Bismarck and
Wilhelm. They are certainly as well
adapted for German settlement as the
portion of Zanzibar, on the east coast
Of Africa, seized by the German feet,
or the dozens of factories dotting wes-
tern Central Africa, that are under the
protection of the same mighty Teutonie
power. The great powers of Europe
are outvying each other in reaching
out for whatever territory to be found
that can be taken without great risk
of war or much expense The Caroline
islands were discovered in 1913, named
after Emperor Charles V, and claimed
by Spain on the ground that they form
part of the Philippines, one-half of
which are under Spanish rule.
