A Romance Of the Blizzard.
A ST. LOUIS DRUMMER MEETS BY
CHANCE HALF-BREED MAIDEN
IN A sNowDRPFT.

The recent blizzard was not without
romantic features. Nesting close to
the Cheyenne River, within the shades
of the rugged bluffs of that treacherous
stream, was once a rude log cabin in
which dwelt what in Western parlance
was known as "a squaw man." one of
the worst renegades and desperadoes
that section of country. He was a
French Canadian, known as Robeaun
and he married a comely Indian wom-
an. They had one child, a rosy checked
brOwn-eyed girl, known as Lillian.
Old RObeaun was hanged by band of
vigilantes and his wife soon after died.
The young girl became the prOtege of
a family at Chamberlain and grew up
a handsome and accomplished young
woman. Just previous to the recent
blizzard Lillian visited friends at HUI
ron and on the day of 1.-The storm had
gone a short distance in the country to
see a friend.
Among the arrivals at Huron on
January IL was Harry Oglebee, a trav-
eler for a St. Louis wholesale house.
The day of that dreadful day he found
himselfin the suburbs of Huron. The
blizzard came upon him. After wan
dering about for half an hour, he was
astonished to come across in a deep
drift woman. Assisting her from
what most likely would have proved
her temporary grave, the pair set out
together to seek for shelter. After
struggling through the snow for nearly
an hour, they reached a farm house,
where kindly care restored them. The
woman was Lillian Robeaun. We'd
nesday nights train to Sioux City had
aboard two happy young people and at
the hotel quiet wedding took place.
Lillian, the handsome daughter of the
Ouce notorious Robeaun, became the
wife OF Harry Oglebee.

One subject that Congress can have
no good pretext for refusing to act
upon is the question of restricting i'm
migration. Senator Palmer made an
important speech on his bill, the most
comprehensive of the measures relat-
ing to this matter that have been intro
duced. Mr.. Palmer's plan is to have
immigrants obtain from United States
consuls certificates of good character,
etc, and also to pay a head tax the
amount of which is yet to be fixed.
He does not claim to have solved the
problem. Some of the features of his
measure, however, would obviously
work to this country's advantager

Congressman Randall has introduced
a bill looking to the removal of Smiths
and Windmill Islands from the harbor
of Philadelphia. By the way, one Rich
ard G. Sheve, an Octogenarian still liv-
ing at Mount Holly, N. j., is quoted as
saying: When first began to cross
the Delaware, the island wasn't there
at all. The dirt began to accumulate
about some slight obstruction, and this
being noticed was helped along by the
Intentional sinking of an old boat upon
the spot. The Island then grew rap
idly, and now one generation is striv-
ing to undo the work of another"

A Colored Exodus.

Col. A. A. Jones of the State auditors
Office, indianapolis, who is connected
with the latest proposed exodus of ne
grOes from the southern states to South
America, talks freely about the scheme.
He is an active friend of all move
ments for the improvement of the
condition of his race and was engaged
in the exodus of 1879. He accompa-
MED Governor Chamberlain, together
with several other young colored men,
to South Carolina from Massachusetts
and entered heartily into the move
ment. "This exodus" he said, will
be efectually pushed and by May LIST
we expect to get our first party on the
road. There are no headquarters as
yet; the movement is very young, less
than a month old, so far as active work
is concerned. Headquarters will be
established probably in New York.
We shall have three agents in Cincin-
natl one at St. Louis and one at Chi
cago. lam agent at this point. We
have some of the best people in the
country interested men who are will
ing to go down into their pockets for
the relief of their oppressed brethren"

The Supreme Court of Nebraska has
made an Interpretation of the law fix
ing the liability of liquor sellers which
is likely to add enormously to the diff
Guilty which saloon keepers have ex-
perienced in securing bonds for their
business. 1t is, in effect, that not only
are saloon keepers responsible for dam
ages caused by a man to whose drunk
enness they have contributed by SELL
ing liquor to him, but that their sure
ties are equally responsible also, and
that their responsibility continues so
long as the man is incapacitated for
work by reason of his drinking The
liability thus indicated is so far-reach-
ing that it almost constitutes a lien
upon the property of a man who is
surety for a saloon keeper, and it will
doubtless result in marked decrease
in the number of iquor-selling resorts
in that State.

The EUery EUening says: The Rev.
L. E. Barrett's acceptance of a call
from st. Paul's Church, this city after
having accepted a call firm St. Paul's
Church, Odessa, has created a stir in
Methodistic circles. and the action of
Bishop FOss regarding the two calls
will be awaited with interest. Mr..
Barrett insists that the Odessians mis-
understood his reply to their invita-
ton when they interpretated it as an
acceptance, but he has asked them to
release him and they have refused to
do so, prefering to lay his letter before
the conference and let the bishop de-
eide the contention.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun from Charleston, S. c., says:
There is a marked revival in the
phosphate industry here. Sales were
made Friday at an advance of 40 cents
a ton. Good acid phosphates also ad-
vanced 81 ton. Dealers attribute the
rise to the prosperous condition of
farmers and the splendid crops last
season which enabled them to purchase
more literally. The revival in the
phosphate business will result in giving
work to over 5000 laborers who have
been idle since November last.

A WORTHY ENTERPRISE.

ON May lst, last, about four months ago,
DIR. Gilbert opened an office and sanitarium
in the bank block, Salem, and advertised
70 treat chronic diseases on scientific
nrinciples. Since that time his practice
mas been steadily increasing--so much so
that he was obliged to secure more room
and increasing facilities, and now finding
himself unable to attend to his numerous
patients, he has entered into partnership
with DR.. NJ. w. Wemp, Of Detroit, Michi-
gan. physician and surgeon of large eX-
perience thoroughly competent, and a
specialist in disease Of the eye, ear, throat
and nasal cavities-who has come with
his family to make his home IN Salem.
The new firm will be known as Drs. Gil
bert & Wemp and will occupy the COM
modious rooms in the bank block, for
Office and sanitarium, and will conduct
their business under the name and style
Of The Oregon Medical and Surgical Institute. 1t Is
their intention to spare neither pains nor
expense in their efforts to make this the
most complete institution, for the treat
ment Of all forms of diseases, especially
chronic, in the northwest.
Medicated vapor baths, electromagnetic
ism, oxygen and massage, together with
all modern and scientific appliances for
the thorough cure Of disease, will be used.
Examinations will be free, and charges
strictly moderate, Address Drs. Gilbert

OREGON REPRESENTATIVES,.

"Oregon" says a California visitor,
"shows its wisdom in the selection
of her representatives at Washing
ton. Your men are Of the ablest in
the state and are among the greatest
Of the nation. Your men decide
what they need and generally pull
together and get it. We Califor-
mans have a divided delegation.
They have petty squabbles, do not
agree and California virtually has no
influence. It will be a cold wet day
for Oregon when it makes depart
ure from this rule" These remarks
struck the JOURNAL as being worthy
of the consideration ofall our people.
With Hermann i'm the house and
such able and indefatigable advo-
Gates as Mitchell and Dolph in the
senate Oregon will be known and
respected by both bodies Of the CON
press and all other departments Of
the government.
Mr. Irish, while canvassing Ore
gon, tried to convince the people of
this state that a divided representa-
ton was the best; but Oregon very
wisely discarded his advice by re-
electing Hermann and assuring us
united representation for several
years to come.
